ucitous manner is scheduled to fur

pany Of handsome women and comedi-
ans who will present The Little
Duchess"
+. Ziegfeld Jr.'s presentation of THE
Little Duchess" in which Miss Held is
the most prominent feature, comes
here practically as it was seen during
It's long engagement at the Casino in
New York. In addition to this, local
amusement lovers may look forward
with confidence to finding in the work
OF the little French artist the fullest
measure of piquancy of manner and
excellence of representation.
The Little Duchess is the product
or reginald De Koven and Harry B.
Smith, and tells q story of a young
woman, who, While at Ostend, assumes
the patent of nobility In order that
she may win the affections of an Off
Ger. In short time, however, the I'M
poster falls in love with a man she
mas intended to entrap, and Immediate
~ she declares her true position. The
relation of this plot does not give the
slightest idea Of the many complica-
lions and numerous laughable episodes.
nor is there any possibility of giving
correct idea of them In cold type. 1t is
sufficient to say that unlimited onnor-
tuniues are afforded Miss Held for
the display of the talents already men
tIohed, and that there is no lack of
material to be interpreted by the sew
eral clever comedians of the support
ing company
The score is described as being of a

At the finale Of the first act the en-
tire chorus and principals use mega
phones, and, of course. the comedians
--of whom Miss Held has five-use
theirs with ludtcrous effect. In addi-
ton there is a brass band upon the
stage. Miss Held, in the full glare of
the hmelight, stands in front of a bril-
liantly Illuminated shell. holds the
chorus girls in a sllk-ribbon leash. and
the chorus Of Miss Helds principal
song can be imagined will be delivered
with excellent effect.
1t Is promised that Miss Held will
bring to the city a beauty show he

by company of clever people. inclu6-

HOIST AS PRESIDENT
TO SUCCEED MAI. WILLIAMSON AS
HEAD of COTTON EXCHANGE.
G. P. WALKER VICE PRESIDENT
ANIMAL ELECTION WILL BE HELD
THIS AFTERNOON.

Nine Directors and Three Inspectors
of Next Election to BE Chosen.
The Probable New Officers Prom
inent in Business Circles and Ac-
tive Members of the Present Board
of DirectOrs-Their Election Ex-
pected 10 BE without Opposition.
Mr.. ]. b. Hoist will very probably
be elected president and Capt. George
p. Walker vice president of the Sa-
vannah Cotton Exchange at the an
nual election to-day. Besides these,
nine directors and three inspectors for
the next annual election will be chosen.
The election promises to be without
interesting contest, as the exchange
appears to be pretty well decided judg-
ing from random expressions. as TO
who it's principal officers are to be.
MIR. Hoist is we'll known in local
business circles, being vice president of
the Cotton Exchange, head of the cot
ton exporting house of ]. B. Hoist
Company and director in the Mer-
chants National Bank. He has al
ways been a staunch friend of the ex-
change, and has taken an active in
terest in it's affairs. No doubt is
expressed that his election will give
general satisfaction.
Capt. George P. Walker, who is
slated for vice president, is head OF
the shipping firm of Strachan & Co.,
and is a prominent member of the Elk
10 rtrin fnrnhD hlV he
elected without opposition because of
his popularity among all members, and
the fact that he has always taken an
interest in the exchange that prom
ises his continued hearty cooperation
with the other officers. Besides, the
prominent part Capt Walker has al
ways taken in movements for the ad-
Vancement of Savannah will make his
election one of general satisfaction to
outsiders, who will have reason TO
further expect his efforts in the pro-
motion of all undertakings for the
uDbuilding of commercial and indus
trial Savannah. In this the Cotton
Exchange always exerts an important
part owing to it's influential members,
VINO represent about every branch
of local business.
Little is heard yet as to who the
new directors win be, though it Is
pretty sure they Will pe dIIolS tiA0
more prominent members of the eX-
change. 1t is a custom to move d.
rectors toward the head of the list,
SO that it is by no means improbable
that a number of the present directors
will be reelected Few names nave
been mentioned as probable directors.

NATIONAL FIGHT
ON OUTSIDE ROADS.
To BE Made by II. II. A. to Get Inter
cIangeable Mileage.

10 NluG ny IL A. ~ NNA inter-
changeabIe Mileage.
The Georgia Division, T. P. A. will
not make the fight single handed
against the Southern Railway. the
Southern and Florida roads because
of their refusal to enter an agreement
with other roads of this section rela-
tive to the interchangeable mileage.
This does not mean that the effort
to secure this interchangeable mileage
will be abandoned. On the contrary,
the next step in the matter will be
made not by any one division of the
organization, but by the national or
ganization as a whole. Mr. Max
Krauss who is chairman of the Rail-
road Committee Of the Georgia Di-
vision, and is also n member of the
National Railroad Commission of the
order, is now laying plans to that
end. He is in communication with
the headquarters of the National Rail-
road Commission of the T. P. A.. St.
Louis, with that object in view.
No further proposition win be made
any of the roads interested as it is
felt that they would be of no avail,
practically every measure possible haY-
no influence. so that the next step,
the one to be inauguTated by the ma
tional organization, will probably be
an organized effort to induce all
merchants, manufacturers, members
of the T. 2. A. and other travelling
men to give their patronage both In
the matter of shipping freights and
in travelling to such roads as have
catered the interchangeable mileage
agreement.
Those who are planning this cam
paign to force the outside roads into
the desired agreement claim that they
feel justified in their effort. because
while the interchangeable mileage Is
a great convenience to them it is not
a disadvantage to any road as those
that are now using it have found II
to work most satisfactorily.
In furtherance of this plan for a
united national effort to secure th+
co-operation Of all important noad'
now outside of the. agreement the
Georgia Division has been instruct 90
to consult its state attorney relatlVe
to the laws of Georgia and certain OF
the other states through which the
roads are operated, as to the laws
that might have a bearing on the case
when the campaign shall have been
inaugurated.

MINISTER COMMENDS
FAIR ASSOCIATION

Rev. j. A. smiths Commentator
at EpwOrth Church Last Night.
Rev. ]. A Smith. pastor of Epworth
Church, preached at the night service
at his church last night on "A Fearful
Statement of Facts" basing his SER
mon on the text: 1T is fearful thing
to fall into the hands of the living God, :"
found in the tenth chapter and thirty
first verse of Hebrews.
At both morning and evening serv-
ices Mr.. Smith took occasion to pub
licly commend the Fair Association
for having eliminated the objection
able forms of gambling from the Fair
Grounds, against which a protest was
made by the ministers of the city.
Rev. Mr.. Smith. in his sermon. dis
tinguished between the love and the
justice melted out by the Almighty,
celebrating upon the blessedness of the
former and the fearfulness of the lat
ter.
God is omnipresent.' he said. Man
judges us by our outward appearances,
but there is a difference between char
acter and reputation, and God judges
us by our true character. He knows
the heart, the secret thoughts of man,
and judges us accordingly"
In his introduction Rev. Mr. Smith
pictured the Christ who forgave the
Magdalene the same who drove the
money-lenders out of the temple with
whips of small cords, and He who
called forth Lazarus from the grave
the same who was in. vain called upon
by the damned soul of the rich man.
Love spurned naturally turns to
hatred" continued Rev Mr.. Smith,

God, we are nevertheless the authors
of our own downfall and after the
warnings that have been given and we
have not regarded, we have no excuses
to plead at the throne of God.

hands of the living Cod" said the min
lister; fearful merely from what God
has been and which we know from
Genesis through Revelation. We have
TO deal with the same God who has
dealt with generations that have gone
before us and those to follow His

and the fact that we have no excuses
for resisting God, all make 1t a fear.
