huge cat was softly purring. while the
lower jaw was twitching nervously.
His two large, golden eyes, glowing

frightened David.
"Well, of all the queer-looking cubs

wildcat, leaping over the log, and
coming at two bounds to the side of

animals dropped to the ground, where

David, the ':second best" cat, had
been shut out of doors by the farm

he was thief and "rascally old mi

The enthusiasm occasioned by the
announcement of the decision of the
battalion to attend the Worlds Fair
was renewed when Maj. Williamson
announced that he had secured from
the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany a reduction of l per cent. in the
interest on the bonded debt. AS the
debt is now about $4,000 the reduction
amounts to about $500 a year. This
will be applied to the extinguishment
of the principal debt
Maj Williamson received a letter a
short while ago from the manager of
the loan department of the mortgage
holders, Mr.. j. w. Hamer, in which he
commended the zeal of the battalion in
its effort to extinguish the debt He
referred particularly to the efforts
made by the commanding officer to Sc
cure a reduction in the rate of interest.
The rate has been 5 per cent. Mr..
Hamer mentioned that although the
Southern representative of the COM
pany had recommended a reduction of
one-half per cent, he was disposed to
disregard that recommendation and
grant, rather. the concession so long
striven for by Maj. Williamson, per
cent One of the conditions of the re-
duction was that he should remain in

COAL NOW CHEAPER
THAN IN SUMMER.
Dealers Say They Have simply Cut
Margin of Profit.


Savannahians can purchase anthra-
cite coal so cents ton cheaper
than they we're able to during the sum-
mer months This is a rather strange
TACT when it is taken into considera-
ton that housekeepers are about ready
to put in a stock of coal for the win
ter.
Those who purchased their winters
supply during the summer at SIS ton,
believing that the price would go up
when cold weather set in, are now
sorry that they did it. They can get
the same coal now for $3.50 a ton.
Those who only buy half a ton at a
time will not be benefited by the drop,
however. and those who purchase a
quarter of a ton win have to pay at
even a higher rate than IS.
1t will be gratifying to those who
use coal to know that there is no
scarcity OF the fuel and that the win
ter's supply is already in the city.
The price of anthracite coal will go
no lower this season. but / do not be-
lieve that it will he any higher" said
a coal dealer in discussing the drop.
There is no special significance in
the drop of so cents a ton for hard
coal. The price remains the same
in the North and the fail in Savan-
nah simply means that the margin of
profit has been cut. This cut would
have been made earlier in the season
but for the fact that little or no coal
was being used. We would not be
unreasonable. under the present cir
Cumstances, even though we should
ask IS a ton for anthracite coal"
