REV. i'll. SCULLY'S LETTER
TO ST. PAUL'S VESTRY.
Resignation Was Informally Ac-
cepted at Meeting Yesterday.

Resignation Was Informally Ac-
cepted at Meeting Yesterday.
At a meeting Of the Vestry of ST.
Paurs Church Yesterday morning, the
letter. embodying the resignation of
Rev. John L. Scully was read, and the
resignation was accepted informally
and with regret. The letter was read
at both morning and evening services,
which were conducted by Mr.. John A
Kenan, and expressions of regret We're
heard on all sides.
In rendering his resignation. Rev.
Mr.. Scully said:
After elaboration, and in the be-
lief 1 am acting according to my best
judgment, guided by the Holy Ghost
from whom / have sought direction,
now resign the responsibilities which
for almost eight years have been upon
me as rector of st. Paul's.
There is an interest and affection
which must remain, and makes il diff
cult to leave the field to which l have
given not only my time but also my
the 'negligences and ignorances' which
may be detected in my labors. but /
assure you l have tried to do my duty
as priest of the church and
as servant of Christ its
head, and beg that L may
be remembered in the prayers of the
faithful, and my shortcomings appar-
ent to them may be forgiven and for
gotten by that love which has ever
been shown to me by all in the parish.
Il should like to begin work in my
new field on All Saints Day Nov. y,
if you agree that this day is not too
early
Rev. Mr.. Scullv will return to Sa-
vannah Oct. l. It is probable that a
new rector will be named by the YES
try before his departure, though it is
possible that the church will be with
out a rector for a short while. The
vestry will probably seek the recon-
mendation of the Bishop before making
its selection.

WORLDS TURPEN-
TINE MARKET.
Mr.. John r. Young Strong Believer
in Savannnb's Future.

Mr. John H. Young Strong Believer
in Snvannnb's Future.
President John r. Young of the Ma
tional Tank and Export Company is
preparing to bring to the more general
attention of consumers of naval stores
the advantages Savannah offers for the
handling and storing of turpentine
Mr.. Young is and has been for some
time firm believer in the chances
of Savannah for, holding it's own as
the leading turpentine market of the
world, and he sees no reason now why
this prestige should be lost. The port
possesses all the facilities that can be
desired by the trade, and this in the
absence of any reason for the removal
of the leading market elsewhere.
Savannah should be the New York
of the South for naval stores" said
Mr.. Young. The trade should not be
forced to go elsewhere for their sup
plies. By this I mean that our turpen-
tine should not be sent to New York,
or to any other market on the seaboard
or in the interior to be sold, when it
can be sent to this market, and when
bought, stored, if desired, at reason
able cost until the purchaser desires
it shipped out to him. In our cotton
industry we see the deplorable condi-
ton of shipping the manufactured
product to New York from our South
ern mills, where it is sold by commits
sion men. Our Southern merchants go
to the metropolis, examine the goods
which have been manufactured down
here, and then make their purchases
and pay the freight on the goods back
to the South. where they were manu-
featured. They day will come when
our products will find home market,
and in the light of the progress made
in recent years that time is not far dis
tant.
such conditions we do not want in
the turpentine market, for the reason
that it is not the proper way to mar
ket the product, and it prevents the
operator and our home people from de-
irving the full benefit out of their bust
ness when the advantages are fewer
to the consumer by scattering the
product about over the country than
they would be by Simplifying concen-
trating handling here in Savannah. 1
firmly believe that Savannah has too
many advantages to be lost. She prom
ises to continue to be the turpentine
market of the world. :"

CRUSADER ON
HER WAY ACROSS.
With the First Cotton Cargo of the
Season from This Country.

With the First Cotton Cargo of the
Season from This Country.
The first cotton laden vessel to
leave American ports foreign left Sa-
vannah yesterday morning when the
big British tramp, Crusader, with TO-,
010 bales of cotton and a considerable
amount of cotton seed products, rosin,
turpentine and lumber aboard steamed
out of Tybee roads on her voyage to
Bremen and Hamburg.
This is not the first remarkable in
cident connected with Savannah's in
creased importance as a cotton export
ing port. Two weeks after the opening
of the cotton season the receipts at
Savannah exceeded the combined re-
ceipts of all American ports by several
hundred bales
The Crusader cleared her berth Sat-
urday night and dropped down the
river to be ready to take advantage
of the flood tide yesterday morning.
There have been several small ship
ment indirect from American ports by
way of Philadelphia and New York
but this was the first ship laden with
cotton.
After the cessation of the rain dur
ing the latter part of last week rapid
progress was made in loading the ships
that are now waiting for their cargoes.
The congresses were kept steadily at
work and as a consequence a great
quantity of cotton ready to be put
aboard was waiting for the masters of
the vessels to open their matches.
Loading will probably be completed
this week on four vessels, the Teresa,
Oriel, Auguste and Cyrus. and they
will clear for their destinations.
All sailing vessels in port are now
waiting for the cessation of the head

WITH IDEAL WEATHER
CROWDS TURNED OUT.
PrOmenading and
Pleasure Seeking the Rule.


Pleasure Seeking the Rule.
An ideal day-not cool, not hot, not
windy-caused Savannahians to turn
out in large numbers yesterday. 1t
was just the right sort of weather to
promenade, to automobile and to visit
the Casino.
And all of these things were done
by Savannahians. Mercury was just
at that point where it caused folks
to look back at the good old summer
time, and at the same time to think
of when the robin red breast comes
again. Bull street was thronged with
promenaders, the Savannah Electric
Company carried large crowds to the
Casino and Isle of Hope, and the sew
eral paved roads were crowded with
automobiles and those who like fast
horses.
1t was chilly at o'clock in the morn
ing, however, when mercury fell to 90
degrees, the minimum for the day. At
2:3O o'clock the thermometer registered
76 degrees, the maximum for the day.
But the backbone of the cool spell has
been broken and there is warmer
weather ahead Local Forecaster Boy
er predicts that it will begin to get
warmer to-day and says that there
will be several warm days yet. He
advised against discarding summer I'M
derwear for some little while yet.
1t is just possible, too, that Savan-
nahianS will have another storm scare.
disturbance was first noticed yes
terday off the Carolinas. The Atlantic
storm is developing slowly and neither
its intensity nor direction can be de-
termined by the weather officials just
at this time. Warnings, however, have
been ordered up along the Middle At
lantic coast, and it is likely that more
will be heard of the disturbance.
But the gathering of the storm in the
Atlantic was not known in Savannah
and the patrons of the Casino turned
out in large numbers. The concerts
by the First Regiment Orchestra, aft
ernoon and evening, entertained many
and the moving pictures were pleas
ing These pictures will be kept on
at the resort so long as the weather
is propitious. Quite a number patro-
nized the Casino restaurant and Les
see Nelson was gratided with the
results of the day.
At Isle of Hope Mr.. Barbee had
everything ready for the entertain
ment of his guests. The shoot the
chute was as popular as ever, and
late into the. afternoon jolly crowds
went flying down the giddy incline
with screams of nervous laughter
which settled into signs of relief as
the car glided out into the smooth
waters.
This is perhaps the prettiest season
of the year around this popular resort
The first tinge of gold is being sprink-
led on the mantle of green, and autumn
is gloriously heralded each afternoon
in the magnificent sunsets that have
special attraction in the reflections
from the placid waters of Skidaway
river.
Mr.. Barbee has decided to keep his
pavilion and cafe open during the win
ter months as there are hundreds who
find pleasure in viewing the ever at
tractive surroundings and partaking of
the excellent service of Mr.. Barbee's
table.

ABLED FREDERICK.

savannah Liner City of Birmingham
Took Her Into Cape Henry.
The steamship City of Birmingham,
which sailed from New York Thursday
afternoon, arrived at IL o'clock last
night fifteen hours late. She was ex-
pected in the morning. Her delay was
caused by her having towed the Mer-
chants and Miners steamer Frederick
into Cape Henry.
Capt. brewer of the Birmingham
sighted the Frederick Friday afternoon
sixty miles southeast of Cape Henry,
in a disabled condition. She s1gnalled
that she needed assistance and was
