FROM CAMP IN AUGUSTA
To BE ESCORTED FROM ARMORY
BY PROVISIONAL COMPANY.

The Six Savannah Companies, with
the Brunswick Rinemen and the
RegimentaI Band, VIII Arrive by
Special Train Tomorrow Evening.
Capt. Dreyer Will Command Pro-
visiOnHI Company, which VIII Be

tiOn and Speech Making at Arm
DRY.
The First Regiment of Infantry will
break camp at Augusta tomorrow and
the Savannah companies will arrive In
the city tomorrow night. The home
coming of the regiment. after the most
successful encampment which it has
ever held. will be marked by appropri-
ate ceremonies. The regiment will be
met at the Central of Georgia station,
when the special pulls in, by provi-
sional company under command Of
Capt. Joseph NJ. Dreyer.
Capt. Dreyer, who has been in at
tendance on the encampment, was
obliged TO return home on account Of
business engagements. In a confer
ence which he had with Col. Gordon
prior to his departure all arrangements
for the reception of the regiment were
made.
1t was impossible at that time to
state the exact time at which the reg
iment will return home. The tour Of
duty will be ended at noon, but owing
to the fact that there are a number of
but-of-sown companies belonging to
the regiment, it will become necessary
to arrange the schedule so as to suit
these companies as far as possible.
Orders will be issued to stay-at-
home members as soon as Capt. Drey-
er receives word from Col. Gordon at
what time the regiment will depart.
1t is expected that this order will be
printed in the Morning News to-mor-
row morning, and the men are request
ed to look for it. In the event it does
not appear the members of the regi-
ment are requested to communicate
with Capt. Dreyer by telephone.
The provisional company will be
composed of the members of the regi-
ment who were unable to attend the
encampment, Because of the splendid
showing which the regiment has made,

FARMERS MAY BE
BROUGHT TO SAVANNAH.
Chamber of Commerce Asked About
Location and Price of Land.

Chamber of Commerce Asked About
Location and Price of Land.
That Savannah needs but the effort
made to get all the farmers of the very
best class to this section, is shown in
the following communication received
by the Chamber of Commerce from e.
S. Rood of Vincent. N. Y: 81 see by
a Georgia paper that the Chamber of
Commerce or some other trade body
wishes to form a company for the pur-
pose of interesting farmers to locate in
the section of Savannah. I wish to To-
cate South myself, on a small farm,
and write this letter to inquire where
can get information in regard to your
section, especially as to it's healthfu1
ness, topography, character of soil, and
the products adapted to it. Also mar
ket facilities. and prices for produce,
and the price of land.
The information that the inquirer
seeks viii be furnished him by Mr.. w.
J. Donlan. secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce. This inquiry is the re-
suit of an article printed in the Morn
ing News some ten days ago, adVocat-
ing the bringing of German farmers or
American farmers from other sections
of the country to the lands now lying
waste, but which are of a character
particularly adapted to the growth of
truck of all kinds.
That the information therein contain
ed should have reached the farming dis
tricts of New York in so short a time.
and been of sufficient interest to bring
the above printed inquiry, shows that
with little effort on the part of the
trade bodies. the securing and tabu-
lating of the information that will be
requested by inquirers, probably many
settlers may be secured with compar-
atively little trouble.

Held on "a Charge of Assault with
Intent to Murder.
While veering a pistol about in
drunken fashion, George Moessner
shot and seriously wounded w. II.
Abrams, a by-stander who was
stranger to him. in Smiths bar, on
Congress and jefferson streets last
night,
Abrams was taken TO the Savannah
Hospital, where he is in a critical con-
dition. with a wound in his right side
just below the ribs. Moessner is held
at the barracks on a charge of assault
with intent to murder.
The shooting occurred shortly be-
fore II o'clock. Moessner, according to
eye witnesses, had been in the bar for
some time, and as a result of partak-
ing of many different kinds of drinks,
was very drunk. Abrams walked in
and stood quietly by the bar At this
juncture Moessner displayed a roll of
bills and ordered the bartender to give
every body all they wanted to drink.
He approached Abrams, introduced
himself and asked him to come up and
drink with the crowd.
The men took up their positions at
the bar, with their backs turned to
the bartender, their elbows, behind
them. resting on the counter. With
out the slightest premonition, Moessner
whipped out a revolver and began
pointing it about.
Hold on, there friend" said Abrams,
eff you're going to point that thing
anywhere, point it at the ceiling"
Abrams raised the pistol and pointed
ii aimlessly about at the ceiling. Sud
denly he dropped his arm. A report
followed. Abrams caught his side, ex-
claiming: I'm shot; I'm shot"
The men at the bar thought at first
that he was joking. Several negroes
nearby who were playing guitars, paid
little heed to the shot, and continued
their playing. But soon it was learned
that Abrams was in earnest. He was
taken to the rear of the bar, where
his skirt was removed, and the wound
examined
The wounded man was taken to
Dukes drug store. on the corner of
Bryan and West Broad streets. DR..
Heriot was sent for and responded, at
once. Detectives Wall and Murphy ar
rived shortly after the shooting to in
vestigate the affair.
The wounded man was taken to the
Savannah Hospital, where his wound
was dressed, and other medical assist
ance rendered. The wound is a Sc
rious one, the bullet having entered the
stomach. Moessner is married
man. He is well known in the COM
munity. He declares that the shoot
ing was accidental. The police, how
ever are not willing to take that view
of the case, until a thorough inVestiga-
ton is held, and a statement is had
from Abrams.

besides. he had ample means, and was
in no trouble of any kind.
I'VE were satisfied that Mr.. Love
was drowned. even before we reached
Savannah" Mr.. Ball explained, and
then stated that he had verified the
fact of the drowning by the evidence
that the members of the party had
yesterday secured at the island, and
which is in the form of affidavits from
persons who gave their versions of
different phases of the case.

MUSIC, ART, ELOCUTION.
As Accomplishments and Vacations
for Young Women.


No branches of learning are more
desirable for a girl, whether they be
brought into requisition in the home,
in society or in the school room. They
insure choice association, and, If nee
cessary, remunerative employment and
independence in life.
These specialties of a woman's edu-
cation receive at the Cox College, Col
lege Park. Ga, near Atlanta, the at
tention which their Importance justi-
fies. In the music department there
are nine teachers for the various
branches, while the equipment includes
forty-five organs, pipe organ and or
chestral outfit. Interest in the study
is enhanced by the orchestra, choral
union, mandolin club and musical So
cieties.
The directors are Mrs. Alice Cox
Crenshaw, graduate of Klindworth-
Scharwenka Conservatory, Berlin,
Germany, and Prof. ]. Lewis Browne,
Doctor of Music and composer. Other
teachers are from Leipsic. There are
specialists to teach piano. violin, or
gan and voice. Atlanta affords oppor-
tunities to hear the best concerts.
The art department is in charge of
Miss Mamie Holifield, teacher of
large success. The studios are liber-
ally supplied with casts and other
models. although most of the work is
done from nature. The elocution de-
partment is in charge of a teacher
from Emerson College of Oratory, es-
pecially recommended by that institu-
ton for this position. For catalogue

dustrial College.


Five Kaffir boys from South Africa
are applicants for entrance to the
Georgia State Industrial College at the
fall session. President Wright has
been compelled to reject the applica-

can do now to take care of the boys
and young women from Georgia and
adjoining states. There are already over
$50 applications for entrance to the col

President R. r. Wright will leave to-
day for the North, and will spend about
two months there and in the East in
the interest of the school. which is at
tracing attention all over the country,
as one of the leading institutions for
the education of colored young men and
women of the South.
OF the $50 applications for admission
to the school next year, the great ma
jority is from Georgia, though there
are many applications from Alabama,
Florida and Mississippi. The next SEES
sion will open Oct. T. and the indica-
tions are that the limit of the school

This is probably known 10 everybody

it's matter of grab, and whether you
