Plenty of Room.
1t having been rumored that accom-
modations were exhausted the com
mittee in charge of this matter desires
to have it stated that there are ample
accommodation yet in reserve for all
who may wish to attend. A great
many intending visitors have secured
their quarters, but hundreds have not
done so and when they arrive they will
be met by committees, armed with
lists of comfortable and pleasant
places. The available space is more
than twice as large as will likely be
needed. The city of Savannah can
easily accommodate a great many
more than $500 visitors, and that is a
liberal estimate of the crowd expected.
Some of Savannah's most beautiful and
commodious homes have been opened
for this occasion and the visitors will
be cared for at very moderate rates
and made to feel at home.
