penalty charge that is effective in Sa-
vannah, taken off at once.
While nothing definite has been done,
it seems likely that the association
will agree to do this just as soon as
building inspector has been elected.
In the event that such an agreement
is reached. Council will take immedi-
ate steps looking towards the creating
of the office that the Tariff Association
insists upon.
This matter is now under considera-
ton, and for this reason members of
the city government did not care yes
terday to comment upon an article pub
lished in the Atlanta News, in which
it is shown what action was about
to be taken in that city when the bust
ness people believed that they were
being imposed upon. The article was
read with a great deal of interest, but
there were no expressions of opinion
just at this time.
The Atlanta article is as follows:
A fight between the city and the in
surance companies belonging to the
Southeastern Tariff Association may
be precipitated shortly. On Sept. 4 a
substantial advance of rates on special
hazards in Atlanta was promulgated
by the association, Whereupon a
lengthy petition was sent Mayor How
ell. signed by a number of affected
manufacturers. The Mayor took the
matter up with the Controller Generai,
and now says there is a law on the
Georgia books to the effect that the
Controller General may revoke the
licenses. of insurance companies in this
state upon proper representation that
thew have combined in the fixing of
rates.
Mayor Howell was about to send
message to this effect to the CITY
Council. with a view of having the in
surance companies disciplined, when
certain of the signers of the petition
asked to have their signatures With
drawn. -.
This has since been explained by
the fact that the insurance companies,
snnrehending a serious fight, have re-
nawed several policies at former rates.
The companies showing this dispos1-
lion to abrogate the lately established
bieh rates, Mayor Howell concluded
to saw nothing to Council at this time,
waiting to see if the same treatment
will be accorded other manufacturing
THE matter would have been sent TO
Council this afternoon but for the IN
dications that the companies would not
irsist on the higher rates. AS 1t u.s.
Mavor Howell will await further oe-
velopments.

TAMMANY'S VICTORY
PLEASED SAVANNAHIANS
Tom Morgan Will Probably Be Well Provided for
Mayor Myers Judgment Got Him Hat

was in the front ranks of the Tam
many forces over the bridge and was
promised a great deal if his party was
successful. He stated to a friend sew
eral months ago, before candidates had
been agreed upon, that he was afraid
Tammany would be unable to win out
but that in the event she did he was
certain to fall into an easy berth. He
worked hard for the faction that he
has been so prominently Unidentified
with since he left Savannah, and his
services are certain to be rewarded.
Fire Chief Mcguire is one of those
who were made happy when the news
flashed over the wires that Tammany
had made a killing. Chief Mcguire
was deeply interested because he says
his friend, Fire Chief Croker, is GER
tain to be once more put in charge
of the New York department. Chief
Mcguire saw Chief Croker at the re-
cent convention at Atlantic City, and
at that time it was all cut and dried
that the famous New York fire fighter
would go back at the head of the de-
partment If Tammany won its fight.
Chief Croker is looked upon as one
of the best fire fighters in the country
and was president of the national as
sociation.
Many bets Made.
So far as is known no large bets on
the election We're made in Savannah,
but several hundred dollars changed
hands in small amounts. There were
the usual number of hats bet, and
enough money changed hands locally
to make the fight intensely interesting
here. 1t was gathered from the ex-
pressions of opinion caught over the
telephones, when the results were an
nounced, that Tammany was a great
favorite in Savannah. But, as was
stated in the Morning News yester-
day, a week ago the opinion of ma
iority of the people seemed to be that
Low would win without much doubt
The sudden change in feeling was not

MARKSMEN WON'T GO
TO JACKSONVILLE,

1t is very improbable that any of Sa-
vannah's marksmen belonging to the
military will take part in the contests
to be held at Jacksonville during the
carnival, now being held in that city.
An invitation to the various compa-
MES to send squads to these contests
was received some time ago. and 1t
was thought probable, up to yesterday
morning, that such a squad. consist
ing of four or five men, would be sent
by Company 3 of the Guards. Yes
terday it was learned that the reduced
railroad rates. on which the men had
counted, would not be in effect on the
day they desired to leave, and so the
idea of the trip was abandoned.

For the last day or two the city has
been gradually filling up with visitors.
and yesterday the registers of the no.
tells were evidence of the influx of peo-
pie from here, there and everywhere,
the larger portion of whom are here
for the events of the next ten days.
I'VE are expecting large crowds" said
a hotel man yesterday: ''in fact, we
are looking out for full houses after
to-day, but no matter how large the
crowd gets nor how great is the de-
mand for beds. you can just rest as
sured that the hotels are going to have
place reserved for their customers.

''I see that Ben Tillman is going to
lecture here soon." remarked South
Carolinian last night. wen, ben

his lecture is worth hearing; that is,
if you like the man or his policy"
Speaking further of the two Tiflmans

ter of whom was recently acquitted of
the murder of Editor GonZales-the
speaker said: mo. we South Caro-
linians can't Endorse Ben Tillman's
whole family, and all his connections,
but we think no less of him for the
role that his nephew has recently been
playing. Fact is" he drawled in
careless tone, "Jim Tillman never was
an idol anyway" 1t is a matter or
interest that Senator Tillman, no mat
ter how much money he can make out
of his lectures elsewhere, will not talk
in his native state when an admission
fee is charged.
1.-THE work that has Deen taken up py
an Atlanta man who proposes to write
a history of the devotion of the negro
to his trust and OF his conduct during
the war between the states, is the
most commendab1e monument that I've
heard proposed in long time was
the remark made in the hotel lobby last
night by veteran drummer who was
also a veteran of the Civil War, and
wore a gray uniform in the struggle
"I've forgotten the name of the man
who is writing that history, but / see
that he is asking for help in the way
Of incidents of the slaves behavior in
those times. The truths that he can
tell are without presidents in history,
and, as history would in this case hard
ly repeat itself, Southern people who
are old enough to remember those days
ought not to forget the part the negro
played in the Civil War"

It's Mcclellan's by at least 1000.


This was told over the telephones in
the editorial rooms of the Morning
News several hundred times last night.
The news that Tammany had won
hands down was telephoned to every
section of the city. Inquiries came into
the Morning News offices over the long
distance lines and the bulletin boards
on Whitaker streets We're watched by
many during the early evening.
There were a few spasmodic inquiries
about Maryland, Kentucky and Ohio,
but chief interest was conferred in the
fight between Low and Mcclellan. A
large number of wagers had been
made and there We're hundreds hungry
for accurate information on the re-
suit. The landslide for Tammany put
Mayor Herman Myers in possession of
new hat. The Mayor has been of the
opinion all along that Tammany would
be successful in its fight.
Had the election occurred in Savan-
nah there could scarcely have been
any more interest manifested. From
men in all walks of life, and from
women, too. came inquiries concern
ing the great battle of ballots that
had been waged in the metropolis. Pol
iticians and business men, and quite a
number who are not in either class,
made the telephone bells ring during
the afternoon and evening. Calls for
authentic information were received
after midnight.

means a good deal for Thomas s. Nor

Valdosta, Gay Nov. 3.-Mr. W. H..
Massey of Hahira wrote here last night
asking that the county's dogs be sent
there at once, as his large barn had
been fired by incendiaries and burned
to the ground. The dogs were in the
lower part of the county and could not
be secured in time. Massey's barn
was one of the largest in that section,
and its destruction involved a loss of
several thousand dollars.
A negro named Charlie Blackman
was arrested here yesterday suspected
Of wife murder. He is a school teach
err and preacher. but he fills the de-
scription of murderer In Alabama so
thoroughly that he was arrested and
held until officials can come here to
see him. He denies guilt.
Mrs. N. A. Mcmillan of Hahira en-
tered suit here to-day against the town
of Hahira for $500 damages for inju-
ries which she sustained from a defec-
tive bridge there during the Masonic

For the Assistance of worthy Girls
at MilIedgeviIIe.


MilIedgeville, Ga, Nov. 3.--The Geor-
gia Normal and Industrial College of
this city will soon come into the pos
session of a fund of more than $1,000,
the interest from the fund to be used
in paying the expenses of worthy girls
at the college. This is in accordance
with the will of the late Mrs. Bette
Harris Lowe of Hawkinsville, who has
generously donated all her property for
the purpose of aiding young women to
secure an education.
This is probably the only instance
in Georgia where an entire estate has
been left to an educational institution.
and this is probably the largest single
donation received by amy college in
Georgia during the present year.
Mr.. r. N. Lamar of this city. secre-
tary of the board of directors OF the
Georgia Normal and Industrial College,
received yesterday a letter giving the
particulars of the will. The letter was
from Mr.. j. B. Mitchell of Hawkins
Vile, who is the executor of the estate.
The will provides that the property
shall be converted into such real estate,
stocks. bonds or other securities as
will be safe and produce the best in.
come, the said investment to be per-
manent, or as nearly so as practicable,
and that the net annual income arising
therefrom shall be used in defraying
the necessary expenses of worthy
white female pupils who are without
the means necessary to defray their
own expenses while attending the Geor-
gia Normal and Industrial College. In
the selection of pupils 1t is provided
that preference shall be given respect
lively to pupils of Pulaski county and
Macon county; but If there are no
worthy applicants from these counties
then help shall be given to pupils from
other counties In the state.

A conference was held yesterday in

garbage cars were under discussion.
Representatives of the city and coun-
ty talked the matter over with Presi-
dent Baldwin and Manager Kidder Of
the Savannah Electric Company.
The county and the city complained
that the cars have not come up to the
contract made with the street railway,
and 1t was this that caused the confer
ence. It was shown that the cars were
not automatic dumping cars. as had
been agreed Upon, and some change
will be made ' in their construction.
They will also be made as near odor-
less as possible and the dump will be
moved further into the woods at the
