BUREAU OF INFORMATION
TO ADVERTISE CITY.

The Advertising Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce met yesterday
afternoon and outlined plans that will
be submitted for approval to the next
meeting of the directors.
All of these plans are with the view
of placing the advantages and re-
sources of the city before the public.
One scheme is to arrange a bureau of
information for the visitors to Savan-
nah during the Southern Baptist Con-
vention. 1t is suggested that quar-
tiers be secured in some central loca-
ton, that they be fitted up with tele-
phone accommodations and supplied
with literature advertising the city,
and also that a messenger boy service
be arranged for. The idea is to at
tract strangers to place where they
can secure any and all information
that they desire and incidentally be
impressed with Savannah's charms
and business opportunity.
Another plan is that a souvenir of
the city be published, containing cuts
of the chief public buildings, places of
interest, etc, and that these be kept
at the bureau of Information and cop
les distributed to persons who call and
register their names and addresses.
1t is further proposed to recommend
that the Chamber of Commerce have
d set of sign boards Of suitable size
and artistic design prepared and
placed to mark buildings, monuments
and other objects and places that are
of interest to q visitor. These boards
might be numbered and would be made
to agree with a numbered cut and
sketch Of the place or object which
would appear in the souvenir of the
city.
A monthly bulletin to show the COM
mercial, manufacturing and other bus
mess interests of the city and to be for
general distribution throughout the
country, will also be suggested to the
board of directors as an excellent and
cheap means of making known Savan-
nah's advantages to the country at
large.
The committee will recommend that
subscriptions be made to the Naval
Stores Review, the Manufacturers Re-
cord, of Baltimore and the daily pa
pers of Savannah and that they be
kept on file in the quarters of the or
ganization. Miss c. L. Fishburne has
accepted the place of clerk and stenog-
rapher to Secretary Don1and and will
begin her duties to-day.

CLEMSON'S WINNING STREAK.

No Small Proposition to dope"
Result of Georgia Auburn Game.
Clemson College defeated Auburn
yesterday to 0. The Clemson team
is crack one. Davidson defeated
Georgia to 4; Clemson defeated Dav-
idson 10 to o.; Clemson defeated
Georgia Is to s; Clemson defeated the
Techs to 1.
To dope" from the scores of the
Clemson Georgia game and the Glenn
son-Auburn game just what will hap
pen when Georgia meets Auburn is a
somewhat cloudy task. Georgia's work
in her game with Clemson was some
what scattered, it is reported, but they
piled up a few runs. They did not
play as tight game as Auburn but
practically as close. Whether Clemson
was somewhat jaded by two successive
games and some travelling is not
known, but one day of rest interviewed
between the Techs and the Auburn
game and they had ample time to
rest.
Georgia will however meet Clemson
again before they meet Auburn The
Georgia Auburn game has not yet
been settled as to date or place, but
it will be played. The Georgia team
is now about to take a trip through
South and North Carolina and will
meet Clemson, Davidson and Wake
Forest before returning. After their
return they will meet the Techs and
then Auburn probably. 1t would never
do for Georgia to meet Auburn until
everybody has had time to guess and
figure and make up their minds sew
eral times as to the outcome of the
game.
