women who see only the great open
ditch day after day and week after
week, the hopeful predictions seem
somewhat doubtful of fulilment.
To them it seems that the number. of
men at work in the ditch is still pain
fully inadequate, despite the repeated
assertions that more than half as
many excavators are now at work as
were on the day before the strike be-
gan.
Certain 1t is that there are long
stretches of the ditch in which nobody
mas done a stroke of work for more
than four long weeks; stretches in
which stagnant water has accumu-
lated at the bottom of the trench and
is now giving out the most noisone
smells; stretches in which the wooden
false work is becoming Thoroughly
weather beaten in appearance.
stretches where grass and oats. seed
ed from the nose bags OF the horses
that once hauled earth and broken
rock away from the excavation are
coming up green and iuxuriant' To
those who observe all these things n
seems high time for all concerned 10

and get steadily az work once more.

FARMERS HOPES FOR 12-CENT
COTTON ABOUT TO BE REALIZED
With Prices and Receipts Ahead of Last Year
There Is Much to Be Thankful For

With the average price ranging from
to cents a pound more than last
year, with receipts larger by over a
100000 bales since Sept. l, cotton plant
ers throughout the South have every
reason TO feel happy.
In Savannah conditions have round
ed into what was predicted. This port
looked upon as the pulse to the cotton
belt of the South Atlantic states, has
felt, perhaps, more surely than any
other port. the ebb and flow of senti-
ment as relates to the putting of the
crop on the market. With farmers
holding out for IL cent cotton, it was
expected that the receipts would be a
little behind those for the same time
last year. but such is not the case,
though all other expectations have
been verified.
Nearly two months ago a statement
was made, through the columns of the
Morning News, by several of the most
prominent cotton factors in Savannah
to the effect that cotton would yet pass
the 12-cent mark, and advice was Of
fered to those who still had a large
part of their crop on hand, to hang
to it. That their predictions are about
to be verified, the recent conduct OF
the market is offered in evidence.

At the close of the market last night
an advance of over 100 points over the
last day of last month had been re-
corded, with every indication pointing
to the further rise of the market. The
local market closed in the afternoon
just 3h cents higher than on the same
day last year, and the receipts at this
port since Sept. l were $50, 467, against
675,512 the previous year.
This increase over receipts of last
year is not the result of a general SELL
ing on the part of the farmers, but is
the result of the largely increased ter
ritory now using Savannah as an ex-
porting point. Railroads are bringing
cotton from points that have hitherto
shipped elsewhere. In the early weeks
of the season, too, the receipts here
were much larger than they would
have been, by reason of the labor trou-
bles in New Orleans and other ports.
The reports made some weeks ago
that there was no top crop in the north
ern section of the cotton belt, has been
verified. Already the effects of the
short top crop are perceptible in the
receipts, which have been falling off for
ton is being marketed in the northern
sections of the cotton belt.
Reports from the interior are to the
effect that the faith of those, who have
been holding out for II cents, has been
strengthened recently, and there are
many who are raising their figures.

Plan to Rob Tax Collectors Safe
FOiled-AtIanta Heirs Found.
Atlanta, Nov. 3O.-Chief of Police
Ball says he discovered plot to break
open the safe of Tax Collector A. P.
Stewart, Saturday night. There was
some $4,000 in the safe, which was
taken in after banking hours Satur-
day afternoon.
Tax Collector Stewart was notified
that such a plot was on foot, and two
county policemen were detailed to sleep
in his office near the safe. The burg
lars did not put in their appearance.
The police are working on the case
and expect to make some arrests.
The applica ton of Lee Crib, convict
ed murderer of Douglas, Coffee county,
was argued before the Prison Commits

Aragon Hotel, where she had been STOP
ping for several days.
Hall Appointed Messenger.
James A. Hall of Calhoun, editor Of
the Calhoun Times, has been appoint
ed by Gov. Terrell messenger of the
executive department. This appoint

public buildings and grounds on Jan.
l, but the Governor says this report is
unfounded.

According to story published by an
afternoon paper, seven Atlantans are
among the heirs to real estate in New

Rosser Blackwell, Mrs. Phil Green, DR..
Ira Delamater, Ernest L. Delamater,
Dewitt Delamater and Mrs. ]. H.

TOM CORCORAN WILL
LOSE RIGHT FOOT.
Prize Fighter Cannot Again Appear
in the Ring.

Prize Fighter Cannot Again Appear
in the Ring.
Tom Corcoran, all-around athlete and
boxer, well known in local sporting cir
Giles, will probably lose a foot and will
beyond a doubt be further incapaci-
tated for work in the fistic arena.
Several weeks ago at the wharf Of
the Merchants and Miners Transpor-
tation Company, where he was en-
ployed as a steVedore, while superin-
tending the loading of a bark with
lumber, Corcoran had his right foot
mashed by a piece of falling timber.
He was carried to st. Joseph's Hospi-
tai, where he has since remained.
At the time the accident occurred it
was not thought that Corcoran's in
jurieS were as serious as they have
since turned out to be, and for sew
eral weeks the fighter has been con-
fined to his bed, the condition of his
injury remaining unchanged. The dis
inclination of the wound to show signs
of healing has proven a mystery to the
hospital physicians, and a consultation
between them was held regarding Cor
coran's case.
Although the hospital physicians ar
rived at no definite conclusion as to
what is best to be done, it is their
opinion that amputation of the right
foot, which was mashed. is absolute-
ly essential to Corcoran's recovery
and they are holding off for a short time
at the request Of Corcoran before per-
forming the operation, in the hopes
that the wound will show some signs
OF healing in the next few DAVIS

always called themselves Greene, and
not Green. I have also shown that
the General himself never wrote his
surname without the final e. Mai. Her
bert now says that the facsimile sigma
ture at the bottom of the plate in
THE National Portrait Galley of Dis
tlnguished Americans" is ''Nath Green -
but have just inspected the copy of
the same work in the library of the
Georgia Historical Society, and find the
final as plainly reproduced as any
other letter Of the name. Either the
copy owned by the Major is very de-
fective, or else his eyesight fails him
now, as 1t did in the inspection of the
"Stonewall'' Jackson medal. 1 will be
glad to show that plate with the au-
tograph to anyone who may care to
see it and who will call at the library.
The search for the remains of Gen.
Greene was really instituted at the
request of his lineal descendant, who
had died only short time before the
search was made, as is thus shown by
Col. Asa Bird Gardiner to whom is
due the honor of it's successful re-
suit:
THE Society (Cincinnati) having as
certained that no thorough and syste-
matte search had ever been made for
Gen. Greene's remains, and that the
subject was being discussed in the Sa-
vannah press, determined that it was
their duty, on behalf of the people of
Rhode Island and in difference to the
wishes of their late president, the Hon.
Nathaniel Greene, NJ. D., LII. D., that
proper inquiry should be made which
should be so thorough as to leave no
further doubt"
This DR.. Greene was Col. Gardeners
predecessor as president of the Rhode
Island State Society of the Cincinnati,
and derived his name from his illus
trlous ancestor without doubling that
he had it right.
Maj. Herbert lays great stress up
on the fact that so many writer's have
used the names Nathaniel" and
Green" but do not see why he does
so, l could mention many other SINH
lar cases, but the following will suffice:
The names of both Sir Thomas More
and Hannah More are as frequently
written Moore" as the correct way
1t was only last week that l read
very interesting article in one of the
magazines in which the writer, who
ought to have known better, wrote the
latterS name, more than once, Hannah
Moore. But l can cite an instance
nearer home and one which more near
ly interests us here in Georgia. The
full and correct name of our famous
state rights Governor was George
Michael Troup, and yet his middle name
is frequently given as Mcintosh" and
his surname is frequently made to read
Troupe which goes TO show that no
one can tell why writer's who should
be well-informed will mispell proper
names, .-.---.-4- William Harden

$500 A YEAR FOR READING
DETECTIVE STORIES.
Landvoigt Says That's What Bris-
tovv's Son Got.


Washington, Nov. 30.-W. H. Land
voigt, who was superintendent of the
registry system when the manifold pa
per was introduced there. which mat
ter was part of the Bristow report
in a statement isued tonight, declared
that Mr.. Bristow offers no facts in his
report as a reason for his allegations
against him (Landvoigt), and that
what he does say is not true.
Mr.. Landvoigt declares it is not true
that the employment of his son was
proposed or used in any way to af-
feet his judgment as to the manifolding
paper. IF Mr.. Bristow," continued the
statement, will look into the depart
ment and its dependencies he will find
his own son and the sons of others
quite as prominent in the postal serY-
ice have been drawing salary for serv-
ice that was either not rendered at all or
certainly not an equivalent for the
money received by them.
II cannot quite understand the prin-
ciple by which he would force me to
resign because my son was employed
at Franklin, and yet he (Bristow)
should remain and draw a good salary,
when he knows that his own son, dur
ing the school vacation of 1902 drew
500 year for sitting in the room or
the assistant postmaster at Washing
ton, d. c., reading detective stories"

ARTILLERYMEN MAY PLAY
INSTEAD OF MACONITES
New Arrangements Will Probably
lie Made for New Years Game.

New Arrangements VIII Probably
lie Made for New Years Game.
The football game which had been
arranged for New Years Day between
the Macon and Savannah teams has
been practically called off, and in the
event that the Macon team does not
come to Savannah on that day it is
probable that a game with the Fort
Screven team will be substituted.
The Macon team, according to
letter which has been received in the
city from one of it's members, is prac-
tically disbanded, Manager Pate Stet-
son having been unable to hold the
team together. Treasurer McIntire of
the Savannah team has wired an in
qury to Manager Stetson regarding the
rumors which are afioat and will prob
ably hear from him to-day.
In the last game between the Macon
and Jacksonville teams the Macon boys
barely won out and the Thanksgiving
Day game between the Savannah and
Jacksonville teams, when the locals
defeated the visitors by a score of "A
to 0, seems to have discouraged the
Maconites, causing them to fear the
result of a game with the local team.
Treasurer McIntire is now in corre-
spondence with the manager of the Fort
Screven team. which is composed of
artillerymen, and which is said to be
one of the best football organizations
in this section. and it is probable that
the game will be arranged. In this
instance the game will be more in
teresting for the Savannah team than
if the Macon boys had not beat a
hasty retreat.
The Savannah team is practicing
which is to be the event of the sea-
son.

nen. saying it was understood that he
attempted to use the newspaper men
o exploit his own deeds.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Rubens'
testimony a member of the committee
asked him his opinion of Gen. Wood S
veracity. He asked that the question
be made more explicit, and was then
asked if he would be willing to accept
the word of Gen. Wood in any matter
in which the general had a personal
interest. Mr.. Rubens answered that
ne was sorry to say that he could not
accept Gen. Woods statement under
such circumstances.
Before Mr.. Rubens was called a
statement was made by Maj. Rathbone
to the effect that the rule that wit
nesses should not bring before the
committee any matters that involved
hearsay evidence had the effect of ham
pering him in bringing out the force of
his charges. Senator Proctor announc-
ed that the rule was improperly un-
derstood. and that as chairman, he
wanted to assure the witness that they
should not be unduly hindered by judi
cial red tape.

TO FIGHT THE WEEVIL.
Prominent Men Meet at New Orleans
to Devise Plans.


to Devise Plans.
New Orleans, Nov. 3O.-Delegates
from the parishes of Louisiana gather
ed here to-day to take part in the
boof weevil convention called by Gov.
Heard. The meeting will decide
whether or not the necessity exists
for a special session of the state Legis-
lature to pass laws which will be eff
fective in keeping the boil weevil out
of Louisiana.
Several addresses by cotton growers
were made. John P. Parker, a wealthy
cotton planter of Ouachita parish, de-
clared on the Cotton Exchange to-day
that the boil weevil had invaded Louis
lana. Mr.. Parker exhibited three wee
wills which he said were developed in
Richland parish.
The important papers before the days
session were the opinions of Attorney
General Walter Guion and Judge J. c.
Pugh of Shreveport, chairman of the
Legislative Committee. Both held
that the state had a right to enact
remedial and preventive legislation.
Congressman Breazeale brought a
message from President Roosevelt and
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, an
nouncing their willingness to further
any action taken by the convention.
The various addresses dealt with
the Importance of the cotton industry
to the country. the immense amount
involved and the seriousness of the
threat of the boil weevil pest, which
is steadily spreading, and which, so
far has defied termination. All agreed
that some strong action was needed to
prevent the scourge crossing the Sa-
bine line, and the only difference was
as to the legislation required.
Various committees were appointed
and their reports tomorrow will be
the means Of crystalizing sentiment
and indicating action. The interest in
the matter is shown by the fact that
out of $500 invitations sent out, 1000
answers were received, aligning them
selves with the movement.
