COINCIDENCE.

Issued I'm July This Year as Last.
Singularly enough the number of
marriage licenses granted during July
just past was the same as were issued
during the same month last year.

the percentage of whites was great
er, there being, twenty-eight licenses
issued to them.

heels of June, the brides favorite
month. During that month this year
there were nearly 100 licenses issued, of
which number half We're to white per-
sons.

SAVANNAH RICE MILL co. NOW
OWNED BY FOUR BANKS.

Also From MIR. Screven's Estate.
At a Joint meeting of the directors
of the Savannah Rice Mill Company
and the representatives of the four
banks involved in its recent failure,
held at the Citizens Bank yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock, a committee was
appointed to effect a reorganization of
the institution, and arrange details for
its future operation.

effect and superseding the old county
court system. This is left almost wholly
to the General Assembly. and unless
these statutes are passed the State may
be left for months without courts OF any
kind.

the hope that the session will adjourn
sine die about December 2Otlk but others
say that If u prolonged fight on the oys-
ter question ensues the session may run
up to the limit. that is to say nearly to
the middle Of January, 1904.
