Parties who came up from Belleville
to-day state that the bodies of
two of the five negroes who
were drowned near there a day

The bodies were of the children of

about dark.
Judge Emory Speer has notified the

leaving it optional with the Treasury
Department whether the negro janitor
shall be replaced by Mr.. Everett. The
records show that Mr.. Everett passed
an exceptionally fine examination and
was entitled to first place on the list.
even if he had not had the advantage
of the disability clause in the law
which gives preference to persons
who have sustained injuries in the
Spanish War. Mr.. Hardwick will en-
deavor to have justice meted out to
Mr.. Everett.
HnrdSvIcx to Speak Here.
Mr.. Hardwick will be one of the
speakers at the annual dinner of the
st. Andrews Society at Savannah, on
Nov. 80. He has already accepted the
committees invitation, but the toast
to which he will respond has not yet
been selected.
For AndersOnvilIe Roads.
Representative Lewis has introduced
a bill providing for the improvement
of the roadways in and about the
National Cemetery at Andersonville.
Mr., Lewis takes a deep interest in the
subject, and has conferred with the
quartermaster general on the subject.
1t is the largest national cemetery in
the United States, and just how there
is an urgent desire on the part of the
local and national authorities that
provision should be made to put the
driveways and roadways. there is good
condition.
Miss GrimsIey Confirmed.
Miss Anna Grimsley, recently ap-
pointed postmaster at Cochran, was
Lewis was notified of the favorable ac-
ton of the Senate, and expressed his
qualification at the result, as he was
personally interested in her selection.
Lester Rushing His Bills.
During the last Congress Represent
tative Lester, introduced a large bud
get of private bills of especial in
terest to his constituents in Savannah
and various parts of his district. To-
day he prepared a list of the measures
failing to receive consideration last
year, and he will reirtroduce them, and
endeaVor to secure favorable action
upon all or some of them during the
present Congress.
For Places ON Committee.
Senator Bacon is devoting much of
his time to the conference of the DEM
ocratic- Steering Committee of which
he is a member, and which is deep in
the problem of providing acceptable
committee assignments to the different
members of the minority side of the
chamber. The assignment of commit
tee places is entirely in the hands of
the Steering Committee, and as there
are a large number of new senator's i'll
this Congress, the problem of filling
the places SO as to meet the aspirations
of different senators is not an easy one.
Both Senator Bacon and Senator Clay
have excellent committee places in
which they will not be disturbed. but
in addition Senator Bacon is making a
strong effort to have Senator Clay
placed on the Committee on Public
Buildings, so he may be in a position
to WELD potent influence in securing
public building appropriations for Geor-
gia. There is a strong probability that
Senator Bacon's efforts will meet with
success.

By r. NJ. Larner.

Washington, Nov. 17.-Postmaster
Harris and Republican Referee John
Capers are urging their political friends
in the Senate to confirm Mr.. Harris
as postmaster at Charleston, notwith-
standing the absence of Senator Till
man from Washington. They claim
that Senator Tillman has stated to rep
resentatives of Mr.. Harris that in view
of the report that the citizens of Char
lesion are reconciled to his appoint
ment he CTillman) will keep hands
off"
Friends of Senator Tillman in the
Senate, however are not disposed to
act upon the case without first hear
ing directly from Senator Tillman. The
Senator is now at his home in Edge
field with his wife, who is still suffer-
ing from injuries she received in a
recent runaway accident.
Senator Clay of Georgia, who is a
member of the Postofice Committee
having the Harris case in hand, to-
day telegraphed Senator Tillman for
his views on the pending nomination.
There appears to be no reason for
undue haste in the matter, except that
Postmaster Harris is anxious to be
relieved of the anxiety occasioned by
delay. Pending a reply from Senator
Tillman no action is expected in the
Harris case.
Postmaster Pointer, at Spartanburg,
S. c., was more fortunate than Mr..
Harris. Mr.. Pointer was confirmed to-
day in executive session upon asSur-
ance from Senators Tillman and La
mar that they had no objection to his
confirmation. Senator Tillmans con-
sent was obtained by telegraph.
May Not Confirm Crum.
Opponents of DR.. Crum's conflrna-
ton assert that he will not be con-
firmed by the Senate, even if the
Committee on Commerce is re-arranged
so that his nomination may receive a
favorable report from that commit
tee. There is ore behind the opposi-
ton to Crum's confirmation than APP
pears on the surface.
Everett Gets Consideration.
Representative Hardwick to-day in
duced the civil service commissioners
to take up and reconsider the case of
James NJ. Everett who it is claimed,
was unjustly deprived of the appoint
ment as janitor in the Augusta post
office. Mr.. Hardwick showed that in
spite of the fact that Mr.. Everett, a
white man, passed a creditable exami-
nation and was entitled to go at the
head of the list of the three ehgibles
by reason of disability sustained in
the Spanish War, a negro was APP
pointed.
Mr.. Hardwick conclusively proved
that a mistake had been made in the
arrangement of the eligible list, and
the civil service commissioners agree
to revise the list and placed Mr..
Everett at the top where he properly
belonged. The commissioners will no.
tify the chief clerk of the Treasury
Department, who has jurisdiction over
the appointment of janitors in federal
buildings, that Mr.. Everett has been

World Moves by Resistance.
The lecturer closed with a mastery
peroration on the power of resistance.
The steam seeking it's freedom from
the boilers of the locomotive, makes
it move; the impatient water, angered
at the resistance of the paddle, turns
the mill-wheel. So with life. Desires
unrestrained are useless, curbed and
bridled they become mighty powers.
An eloquent plea was then made for
right living, personal purity, and
Christian manhood.
During the course of his lecture elo-
quent and touching tributes were paid
to motherhood and wifehood, and to
womanly purity. Several times the
lecturer was interrupted by sponta-
neous bursts of applause from the an
eous bursts of applause from the au-
dience, an honest and deserved APP
probation of Il mastery lecture. The
lecture was the first of the series to
be given by the Savannah Lyceum Blu

This is a picture of Mr.. J. H. Waddy,
of Nashville, Tenn, as he looks today,
after being cured by "Blood Wino,"
from siege of nervous prostration
lasting year. Mr.. Waddy was in an
extremely nervous and weak con-
dition, and his friends held out grave
fears for his recovery. This experience
should interest nervous men and women
who fret over domestic and financial
affairs, as it proves that " Blood Wine"
equips both brain and body with
strength and endurance, stamps out
weakness and disease and enables one to
do more work and do itbetter, quicker,
and with less effort. "Blood Wine" is
truly a wonderful medicine. If your
nerves are all unstrung, your appetite
poor and your sleep is broken, Just try
"Blood Wine" and see what 1t will do
for you.
Mr.. Waddy says: 81 desire to make
known the immense benefit which
can be derived from the use of Blood
Wine by persons who may be afflicted

Addressed by Judge Parker and So
Hector Bennett at BIackshear.
Blackshear, Ga, Nov. 17.-An edu-
cational rally was held at the Court
House at IL o'clock this morning. Adj
dresses were made by Judge Thomas
A. Parker and Solicitor General John
w. Bennett The students of the
Presbyterial Institute were marched
in a body to the meeting. Judge Park
er made a strong plea for a more lib
eral education for children of to-day,
and urged the great necessity of bet
ter equipped school houses. His speech
made a profound impression and will
be productive of good.
Mr.. Bennett spoke in behalf of the
McMichael bill as passed by the last
Legislature. In the course of his re-
marks he referred to the fact that he
has kept a record of all criminal cases
prosecuted by him in the seven years
he has been solicitor general of this
circuit, and that that record shows
more than SIS per cent. of the white
persons tried have been the children
of irreligious parents, and that more
than so per cent. of such children
have been reared in ignorance, with
out educational advantages. Com
menting on these facts he said it is
the duty of every parent, If need be,
to make sacrifices in order that his
child may be educated.
There has been a steady improve
ment in the schools in this county in
recent years and the meeting to-day
will give an added impetus.
