SCHOOL POPULATION
WILL BE ENUMERATED THIS
MONTH by HENRY GOETHE.
CONTRACT GIVEN YESTERDAY.
CENSUS EXPECTED TO SHOW
LARGE INCREASE OVER THAT
OFF 1898.

Population of City and County Was
Then II, 2OS-Worl1 This Year Must
Re Finished Before End of June
Examination to Be Held June 20.
Present List of EIigibIes About
Exhausted-Many Vacancies Ex-
pected When schools Open in
OctOber-Residence in City or
County Not Necessary for EIigi-
pOintments Made According to
Showing Made.
The census of the school population
win begin this week, probably to-day.
The contract for the work was let yes
terday morning by Supt. Otis
Ashmore, who awarded the contract to
Mr.. Henry Goette. The census means
an enumeration of all children between
6 and Is years old who are in Savan-
nah and in Chatham county. On the
figures shown in this report will be
based the appropriation of the school
funds for the next five years.
The last census was made in 1898
and showed a total school population
of 17.2OS; 1852 white children and 1854
colored children in Savannah, and 959
white and 4,OS3 colored children in the
country districts. 1t is expected ny
Supt. Ashmore that the census to be
taken this month will show a very ma
terial increase in this number, judging
from the number of applicants for
places in the schools which took place
at the beginning of the present term.
1t is expected that Mr.. Goette will
be able to complete the census within
a few weeks, certainly before the end
of June That it shall be completed
before that time is very much desired
by the school authorities because so
soon as the schools close a number of
children leave the city for the sum
mer, making it possible that their
names may be omitted from the list
unless secured prior to their departure.
For every name missed the county
loses, Supt. Ashmore has calculated,
about $12 in the five years that must
elapSe before the next census.
Another interesting event that will
take place shortly in connection with
the schools is the annual examination
of applicants for places as teachers.
This will be held June 20. The list of
elegibles resulting from the last exam
ination is all but exhausted so that
those who pass the coming examina-
ton successfully stand an excellent
chance of an early appointment. This
is made the more probable in that it
is already known there will be a
number of vacancies when the schools
open in October.
Supt. Ashmore wishes it understood
that applicants need not be residents
OF this city or county in order to stand
the examination and receive an APP
pointment, and states, further that
those making the best record are the
ones who will be selected first. The ex-
animation will consist of all subjects
taught in the grammar schools. Age,
experience, personal qualities, health
and personal appearance are Qualities
that also count in making appoint
ments.

THE NEWEST AUTO.

Mr.. T. A. Bryson was the observed
of all observers yesterday, for he had
something new in the automobile line.
and it was a novelty well worth at
tention. The newcomer is called the
Orient blackboard, and the way II
hummed around the city kept the peo-
pie guessing. 1t is a blackboard regu-
lar enough, and has pneumatic tired
wheels and a dandy little engine over
the rear axle. II only costs about one
third the amount of some OF the big
ger and more dignified looking ma
chimes. nevertheless everybody was
pleased with its natty appearance
and the way IL covered the ground.

R0BBING THE POOR
NOT A GOOD GAME.
Joe Wade Was Caught Stealing
from Mite Boxes.


Joe Wade, colored, who has likely
been living richly at the expense of
the poor of the Sacred Heart Church
parish, was yesterday caught in the
very act of abstracting coin from the
poor box" in that church, and is now
in Jail. Joe has been employed about
the premises for some time and it had
been noticed that the amount Of money
taken from the boxes was considerably
less than usual.
There seemed to be no difference in
the contributions, but when the money
came to be counted the totals looked
very small indeed. Yesterday it was
decided that Joe might be the cause
of the trouble and the housekeeper
made it her business to keep an eye
on the youth He was seen entering
the church, when there was no occa-
sion for this visit and, quietly fol-
lowing him, the housekeeper saw him
open the box with a key and begin
taking out the money. When stopped
he admitted that he had taken so cents
The boy was arrested and his room
was searched and a small mahogany
desk was found in his trunk, that had
been stolen from the school room. This
caused another entry to be made on
the books and Joe will likely get some
thing to do that will require his pres
ence out of doors and keep him from
robbing the poor for some time to come
The mite box robbed was that of the
Ladies Aid Society

LAYTON CADETS
DAY AT TYBEE.
Will Have Their Annual Prize Drill
and Picnic Tomorrow.

VIII Have Their Annual Prize Drill
and Picnic Tomorrow.
The annual prize drill and picnic of
the Lawton Cadets will be held at
Bohan's Pavilion. Tybee. tomorrow.
The prize drill viii take place at $50
o'clock and promises to be an interest
ing contest. The men have been drill
ing hard for the last two weeks and
each one is confident of victory. 1t is
expected that about forty cadets will
participate in the drill.
The company medal, which is the
first prize, is a handsome jewel, and
the winner may well be proud to wear
1t. 1t was won by Sergt. Walter j.
Elton last year and the year previous.
The second prize, which is So in gold,
will fall to the second best drilled ca
Diet. This was awarded TO Sergt. c. ID.
Chancellor last year.
The Lawtons have improved very
materially since their last prize drill.
Their enrolment now numbers forty
eight men. This compares favorably
with any military organization of the
city.
Owing to the absence from the city
of Col A. r. Lawton, who was to have
presented the prizes, this honor will
fall to Capt. w. L. Pritchard, the first
commander of the Cadets, who has al
ways taken an active interest in the
company's welfare. The judges in the
contest will be the company's officers,
Capt. Walter S. Blum and Lieuts. Ros-
signol and Waters. They will alter
nate in giving the commands.
Tomorrow, being a legal holiday. it
is expected that a large crowd will
visit the island. The company has ar
ranged for a II o'clock train from Ty-
bee. After the prize drill the company
will disband for the summer months.

UNCLE SANS NAVY
NEEDS MARINES
Recruiting Station to BE Re-estab-
lished in savannah.

lished in savannah.
Lieut.. Benjamin B. Woog, United
States Marines, in charge of the de-
tachment stationed at Port Royal is
now in Savannah and will establish
here a branch recruiting station for
marines. The location of the recruit
ing station has not been positively
fixed. After it is arranged Lieut..
Woog will leave the station in charge
of sergeant, but will return here
once a week.
In speaking of the matter last night
Lieut.. Woog said that the increase al
lowed in the marine corps is the
principal cause for the call for more
men and that also a large number of
men who enlisted for the Spanish
when their time, five years of service,
expires. The enlistment period is now
four years. 1t is interesting to all
who may contemplate entering the
marine corps,t to know that enlisted men
are eligible to appointment as second
lieutenants. A fact that is mentioned
to show how this works, is that one
of the captains in the corps at present,
was a sergeant only few years ago.
The pay of the men in the marine
corps is from $13 to $43 per month.
with medical attention, clothing, food
and shelter. The men are nearly all
on shipboard. and are only placed on
the larger ships and cruisers. They
have no duty on torpedo boats or
monitors. On the ships they get a
chance to see the world. and their
shore leave depends largely upon their
own good conduct and efficiency.
Only physically sound men, of good
chara ctcr, unmarried and between the
ages of q and SO years. are wanted.

MILITARY WILL NOT
PARADE TOMORROW.
Davis Birthday VIII BE as Gener-
ally Observed as Last Year.

Davis Birthday VIII BE as Gener-
ally Observed as Last Year.
The Confederate Veterans Associa-
ton will meet tonight, at which time
a programme will probably be arrang-
ed for tomorrow night, in celebration
of the anniversary of the birth of JEFF
ferson Davis. The presentation of
crosses of honor will probably COM
prise the most interesting part of the
programme. The names of those who
will receive them have appeared in the
Morning News.
At the meeting of the military last
night it was decided not to accept the
invitations to parade. Owing to the
short notice given the men, many of
them did not have time enough to ar
range to get off from work. The mill
tary has never before been asked to
participate in the exercises on Davis
Birthday.
The day will be observed in the
courts, there being no cases set for
trial by juries. The banks and many
of the public buildings will be closed
and the day will probably be as gener-
ally observed as heretofore.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

Charged with cruelty to animals. Joe
Mulligan, a driver, and Joseph Scar
borough, owner. of two rickety look
ing mules, will have to appear in the
City, Court to-day. They were hauled
up before the Recorder yesterday on
the charge and failed to show any
good reason for thus misusing the
mules, and were referred as mention
ed. The men got into trouble on ac-
count of Mulligan finding it conven-
lent to parade the boneyard team in
front of the barracks while court was
in session yesterday. The two Joes are
colored, and their exploit may cost
them either time or money.

PEACHES IN CAR LOADS
TO MOVE THIS WEEK.

The peach crop has not yet begun
to move in large quantities. So far,
not solid car load has been handled,
though it is likely that shipment of
this size will be received by the Central
at Fort Valley the latter part of this
week, and in a short time others will
follow, in gradually increasing quanti-
ties until the hight of the season has
been passed.
Despite the cold weather that caus-
ed so great damage to the peaches gem
orally throughout the state, the season
has not been retarded, but probably
will be as early as that of last year,
when the first car load was moved by
the Central June 4. AS has been stat
ed before, the outlook is that not more
than a third of crop will be realized,
but the quality of the fruit promises
to be of unusual excellence
