CANE GROWERS CONVENTION
To be One of Largest Gatherings of
ITS Kind Ever Held in Georgia.

To be One of Largest Gatherings of
Capt, D. G. Purse, who has been very
busy in various parts of the state for
the past several weeks in the interest
of the Interstate Sugar-Cane Growers
Convention which it is intended to hold
in Macon, May 6, and 8. will leave
in short time to visit the Governors
of all the cane-growing states of the
South with a view of enlisting the in
terest of cane planters and securing a
large and progressive representa- ton
from each state to attend the conven-
ton.
To facilitate this work Gov. Terrell
has given Capt. Purse a letter of in
PRODUCTION to the Governors of each of
the following states: Florida, South
Carolina. Alabama, Mississippi, Louis
lana and Arkansas. This is no small
advantage of itself, but the task of Sc
curing representation of the proper
sort will be rendered the easier by the
fact that Capt Purse, through his
work with the Department of Agricul-
ture, is in close touch with the chief
cane planters of the South.
The coming convention has been
pretty, thoroughly discussed throughout
this state and Florida, but the interest
in it, instead of waning, as is too Of
ten the case with similar affairs, seems
to be growing with the probable re-
suit that the meetings will be attended
by hundreds and will result in wide
spread interest and knowledge that
can not be other than of the greatest
value to the farming interests of the
Southern States.

room of the City Exchange tonight.
Men of. all businesses, trades and pro-

an occasion so suspicious for Savan-

ture.
AS has been stated before the plan
for the Chamber of Commerce was for
appointed for that purpose night

peals to everybody. as it is most lib
eral in it's provisions, comprehensive in
the work mapped out for the future
welfare of Savannah, and yet has
placed the membership dues so low that
they can be bar to the membership
of no one.
The plan for a Chamber of Com
merce was Endorsed yesterday by
committee representing the Board of
Trade which in a verbal report to the
members of that body expressed itself
as favorable to the organization of the
new trade body. 1t was reported that
this committee had objected to the
name Chamber of Commerce as sug-
costing conflicting duties with the
Board of Trade, but Capt. Purse, pres
ident of the Board of Trade, stated
that no report was made except that

RISE IN COTTON

Contracts for Fall Goods Made Only
ut 10 to 10 Per Cent. Increase.
What the continued high price of cot
ton means to the country as a whole is
beginning to be appreciated in local cir
cles other than those directly inter-
ested in the cotton business. The
wholesale dry goods men find that the
price of all manufactured cotton goods
have advanced within the last few
weeks from 10 to Is per cent. above the
former price; and that even in cases
where the goods have been contracted
for away ahead of the selling season. it
is hard to secure deliveries.
Fortunately for them the business or
the present season is about closed, but
the advance came before they had made
contracts for the next seasons STOCK.
and so they were forced in many cases
to buy at the increased cost. The great
demand for certain goods that this
condition of affairs has caused is shown
in the case of the Amoskeag Mills. from
which the entire seasons output OF

FOUND A CURIOSITY.
Instrument Resembling Indian
Spear Head Uneartbed.


Laborers engaged i'm digging out the
excavation for the Germania Bank
building at Bull and Congress streets,
yesterday afternoon unearthed an In
dfan spear-head or a piece of metal
in the shape of such an instrument.
The curiosity is of iron or steel,
about four inches in length, two inches
II the widest part and tapering to Il
point with both edges sharpened, and
being about one-fourth of an inch in
greatest thickness. The one fact
against it having been the property
or instrument of warfare of Hhe Red
Men, is that it had a stem about two
inches long. well threaded and showing
that it had been screwed into a staff
instead of dashed on. 1t is in a good
state of preservation despite the fact
ii has undoubtedly lain in the ground
for many years.
The fact that the butt end is thread
ed the same as if cut by the modern
dies forms the interesting part of the
find, as it is known that at the time
the instrument was in use no such
machines were in use. The point fell
to the possession of one of the work.

Officers Think State shoot Would
be Profitable Investment.
Arrangements are going ahead for
the interstate shoot which will be
held here during the summer. Maj. Co
ney. post adjutant of the Interstate
Military Rifle Association, is in corre-
spondence with the officials in other
states, and is receiving, almost every
day, encouraging replies, in which
their cooperation is promised, and a
large attendance on the shoot assured.
Advertising literature has been sent TO
the various states, in which both the
range and the city are advertised.
1t is the purpose of the officers of the
new association to advertise the city
in every way possible in preparing for
the state shoot. In return for the In
terest manifested by the city authori-
ties and trade bodies on the recent Wis
it of the Governor, they are anxious to
do anything in line with the move
ment recently inaugurated to adver-
tise and upbuild Savannah. AS soon
as it is practica BILE to set the date for
the contest, this advertising will be
general.
The officers are also working in a
quiet way to the end that they may
induce the Advisory Board that there
are sufficient funds available to justi-
fly the holding of a state shoot. They
submit that the cost of the shoot, So
900, is mere trifie compared with the
enormous amount of good which would
be accomplished. This amount is but
little over one-third of the appropria-
ton of $4,000. AS soon as the provi-
siOns of the Dick bill become operative
there is little doubt that a state shoot
will be held annually

SHOT TO BRIGHTEN.
Plea Entered by White Man who
Fired His Revolver.


Protesting that he fired his revolver
for the sole purpose of frightening a
negro who was holding a pistol at the
head of his father in their place of
business at No. 533 Indian street. Joe
Colman, white, was arrested yesterday
by Detectives Murphy and Wall for
assault with intent to murder.
The negro at whom the shot is al
legged to have been fired has not been
located by the police. but is said to be
Edward Jackson, a resident of the
West Side. 1t is not believed that he
was wounded. Because Jackson has
not been found there is only one story
to the ARRAY. Colman says that the
negro had a dispute with his father
and drew a weapon on, him. Young
Colman claims that he then fired one
shot into the ground to brighten the
negro and that Jackson ran away. His
father made the same statement ex-
cept that he related how his son fired
the shot in the air. Colman furnished
bail for his appearance before Record
er Myrick in Police Court this morn

PURCHASED GOLD TOOTH
WITH STOLEN MONEY.
Attracted Attention of Detectives
and il Now a Prisoner.

and il Now a Prisoner.
With money that she is alleged to
have stolen on Monday night from a
resident of Midwife, Ga, near the
Union Station, Nellie Genross. a negro
woman we'll known in police circles,
purchased. among other things, a gold
tooth, and thus attracted the attention
Of Detective Murphy who last night
arrested her on charge of grand lar
ceny.
The woman. Of course. denies her
guilt, but the police say that they have
evidence enough against her to war
rant a conviction. The name of the
prosecutor is Reilly. and his total loss
amounted TO S145. The GenrOss woman
is a denizen of FrogtOwn and the trick
was turned in that district A report
was made at police headquarters that
the Genross woman had been spending
money lavishly during Tuesday, and
had fitted up her apartments rather
nicely. She also added a gold tooth
to her collection of valuables.
The woman seemed rather proud of
her latest possession and, IL is said,
hung around the Union Station with
a grin on her face for the sole purpose
of displaying the gold. This at once
aroused the suspicious of the officers.
It was also learned that friends of the
woman had Jared well. and it was evil
dent that Nellie had victimized an
other countryman. She has given the
police no end of trouble. and the resi-
dent of Midwife will appear against
her in Police Court this morning. In
the meantime the superintendent of po-
lice has issued orders to the uniformed
men to be particularly attentive to the
Union Station and Frogtown, his idea
being to reduce the number of thefts
from countrymen who come to the city
to have a good time
