VETERANS HELP
WINNIE DAVIS HALL

Athens, Ga, Oct. 5.-Yesterday Cobb
Deleney Camp, United Confederate
Veterans, held a meeting and passed
a resolution to provide the money for
the furnishing Of one room in the
Winnie Davis Memorial Hall, to be
known as the "Cobb-Deleney Camp
room" The camp will get up this
money at once and the room will soon
be furnished.
The entertainment given at the Win
ME Davis Hall for the purpose of rails
ing money with which to furnish the
reception room there was a distinct
success and reflected great credit upon
the Young Women of the Confederacy
of this city, under whose auspices it was
given. More than 1925 were cleared for
the purpose. This room will be made
one of the most attractive in the Win
ME Davis Hall.
The Laura Rutherford Chapter of
the Daughters of the Confederacy of
this city will also furnish one of the
rooms at the Winnie Davis Hall. The
members have already contributed the
necessary amount of money for that
purpose,

TRIED TO SQUARE IT
WITH CHOCOLATE CANDY.

She wasn't at all pleased with what
that horrid police reporter had written
about her and she didn't fail to call
I'D the one she was sweet on and tell
him all about 1t.
She knew full well that the other fell
low was only jealous because he didn't
have anybody to call him up and whis-
per sweet nothings. But she would get
even with him even if it cost her a
chocolate tip. She'd show this rude
man that she was not the girl that he
took her for, and papa would do the
rest. oh yes. she intended to pull dad
right up to the editorial rooms and
have somebody licked even if he did
stand in with those common police.
OF course she knew that the one she
was interested in had nothing at all,
oh no, to do with that awful piece.
And to prove that she felt this way
about it she bundled up a nice little
box of home made chocolate candy and
sent il TO him by mail. The box was
in the shape of heart and it was all
very pretty. There was nothing to
show who sent the sweets, but there
was no doubt as to where they came
from. The heart was opened careful
ly and inspected by the entire force,
but no one would warm up to it. They
all remembered the Molineaux case at
the same time.
But the Office boy was glad enough
to accept the appointment of custodian
of the chocolate. He didn't know any
more about Molineaux than he did
about credit. But for all that he didn't
tackle the harmless black blocks at
once. When he got home he ate it all,
however, aud then told his mother that

INTERCHANGE OF
PASSENGERS.
Agreed Upon by Coast Line and
SeabOard.

SeabOard.
The Atlantic Coast Line and Sea-
board Air Line Railways have agreed
upon an interchange of passenger bust
ness at Savannah and Jacksonville, to
be effective at once.
At Savannah passenger business will
be freely interchanged between the two
lines destined to or coming from points
in Georgia and Alabama and beyond.
and at Jacksonville for business destin-
ed to or coming from points in ting in
terror of Florida.
Under the old Plant System regime,
that part of the Coast Line system
which will be affected by this agree
ment, officials of the Plant System were
very arbitrary in matters of this kind,
and frequently published circulars Civ
ing names of the several lines with
which they desired to give interchange
business, and among those excluded at
Jacksonville and Savannah was the old
Florida Central and Penmsular, which
is now a part of the Seaboard, which
will be mostly benefited by this agree
ment. In those times passengers would
have to rebuy tickets and have their
baggage rechecked. This system has
been maintained up to the present time,
though negotiations have been in prog
ress for some time-in fact, since the
Plant System was absorbed by the
Coast Line and the Florida Central and
Peninsular by the Seaboard, and final
" resulted in the agreement which viii
be of untold benefit and convenience
to through passengers.

FINDING OUT SAVANNAH'S
RELIGIOUS PREFERENCES
Denominational Census of the City Begun Yester-
day by Bible Society,"

A religious census of Savannah is
being taken. Mr.. Willis, representing the
American Bible Society, began yester-
day house to house canvass. The aim
is to learn the UNCONVENTIONAL prefer
ences of every family. All homes in
which there are no Bibles are care
fully noted in order that the churches
may take steps toward acquainting
them with the Bible. When the CEN

people having expressed a preference
for certain denomination are given to
the pastors of the churches represent

they may call upon the families.

ADMINISTRATOR SUED
BY BRYAN'S ORDINARY,
Two Suits Instituted Against james
G. Chitty in City Court.


G. Chitty in City Court.
Two suits were filed in the City
Court yesterday by Ordinary Bragg Of
Bryan county, who sued for the use
of certain parties who have hereto
fore obtained judgments in his court
against Charles G. Chitty, administra-
tor of William H. Hagan. In both
cases the compliments seek to recover
from the principal as well as the sure
ties on his administrators bond, M. f.
Carter and c. L. Chitty.
The first suit is in favor of Mrs. Hat
tie Lucas one of the four heirs of
the estate of Hagan, who obtained
judgment against the administrator for
$1369 in Bryan county; the second suit
is in favor of l. Epstein & Bro. who
sues on a judgment obtained in the
City Court of Savannah for $446.43.
Both suits recite that Chitty was
appointed administrator in March, 1902
and that despite their opportunities
he has refused to pay their claims.
The administrator gave bond for the
faithful performance of his duties in
the sum of $4,000. Travis & Edward

isterial Association at once, though he
had visited but a few homes in the
short time he had been working, from
that number he found several who had
nd Bibles. He called attention to
the work that is waiting to be done in
religious lines among many of the
families which he had visited.
Mr.. Willis is working without assist
ance and it will necessarily take some
time before he can canvass the en-
tire city. He is enthusiastic in the
work and his long experience makes
him particularly fitted for carrying it
to a successful elimination. 1t is ex-
pected that a complete report on the
religious standing of the city can be
made within comparatively short
time.

HIS PLAY WENT;
AND YET 1T DIDN'T.
Hard Luck story of Leading Man
Possessed of Gaming Fever.

Possessed of Gaming Fever.
Jack Campbell, who was in Savan-
nah last week, as leading man. with
the Hoyt plays, "A Stranger in New
York. and "A Trip to Chinatown"
was victim of one of the hardest
of hard luck incidents.
Campbell and the company were
scheduled to leave Savannah at
o'clock Saturday morning, and being
possessed of the fever that common
ly attacks those who have had a taste
of the destinations of the faro table
the leading man decided to spend the
intervening hours between the close of
the evenings performance and the
time for the departure of his train in
wooing the tickle goddess. Armed
with a fat bundle of the soft stuff"
he went where checks are sold from
SO to $50 per doz, and was soon cop
pering the odd and playing the even
for the limit. After an hours play he
found he had placed the ma jority of
his coppers wrong. and had been sep
arated from all the money he had
with him. 1t was yet some time be-
fore his train would depart, and he
wrote an order on the cashier of the
company for more money. He backed
off the customary distance from the
table and prepared to wait for the re-
turn of the messenger.
The dealer suggested that he resume
play, telling him he would issue him
what checks he wanted under the condi-
ton, that If the money came the play
was to go, and If it did not, the play
did not go. In other words if Camp
bell was $500 winner when the money
came the checks would be redeemed,
but that if the money did not come
the checks would be returned to the
rack or that if Mr.. Champbell lost the
checks and the money came he was
to pay for them, but if he lost and the
money did not come he owed moth
ing.
Of course, the leading men believed
he would win. All men with the gam
ing fever do. He got two stacks of
checks at twenty-five per and was soon
spreading them over the lay out He
couldn't lose a bet. If a copper fell off
a bet he would let it stay, and the
card would win. If he carelessly drop
per a copper on a bet the card would
lose, and he would win again In a
short time he was some $500 winner,
but still the messenger had not put
in an appearance with the money from
the treasurer. The leading man look
ed at his watch. and saw it was only
a few minutes before train time He
waited few minutes longer and when
there were no signs of the messen-
gers return he pushed his checks to-
wards the dealer, and made a run for
hack to catch his train. Just as he
drove out of sight the messenger an
peared-and he had the money.
