GREATER GEORGIA
DRAWS ATTENTION.

New Yorker Plans Colonization
Scheme for This Section.
How excellent a thing for the state
the Greater Georgia movement may be-
come is shown by the fact that though
still in it's inception it is even now at
tracing the attention of persons in dis
tant localities who are sufficiently in
terested to seek further knowledge of
it's scope and plans.
This is shown by a letter received
yesterday by Maj. j. Ferris Cam, ad-
dressed to him as chairman of the Sub
scription Committee of thirty. and stat
ing that the writer, Walter Church, of
New York, is interested in plan to
invest in lands in this section, with a
view of colonizing on them farmers,
gardeners and agriculturists of all kinds.
coed people and desirable citizens, and
that some land will be wanted soon
and in few years probably several
thousand acres will be needed.
Mai. Cam will investigate the re-
sponsibility of the writer and see what
can be done in the way of encouraging
the plan should it prove what Is claim
ed for IT..
Such advertisements as this given 10
Georgia by the Greater Georgia As
sociation and followed by Savannah
with special information will, Maj.
Cam thinks, result in great good to
the state and a material increase of
population and progress. That his
faith in the movement is shared by
others was shown at the latest meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce when
Col. Estill indorsed all Maj. Cam had
said in favor of the movement, and
started the subscription list to raise
Savannah's share of the required
Greater Georgia Fund.
Maj. Cam will hold a meeting of the
Subscription Committee next week
when the work of canvassing the city
to secure the remainder of the re-
uuired amount will be actively taken
up. Mr.. J. P. Williams is one of those
most heartily in favor of the move
ment. In a letter to Maj. Cam he
stated that he believed the work will
result in great good not only to Sa-
vannah but to the state and that he
will contribute to the fund when called
on.

MARRIAGE RECORD BROKEN.
over Two Hundred Persons Re-
ceived Licenses from Ordinary in
April.

ceived Licenses from Ordinary in
April.
The record in the number of mar
riage licenses issued in the clerks of
flee of the Court of Ordinary in
single month was broken yesterday
when at the close of office hours 1O2
licenses had been issued, making the
number far in excess of that of any
previous month this year. and register
ing the high-water mark in the history
of the court.
All licenses are issued by Clerk
Joseph Molina, and it is singular that
during his first month of service, a
new record should be established. The
number of licenses issued during the
day was nine, which is itself about
three times the average number. The
tiymeneah inclination seems to have
been curtaiIed none by the record made
in the Superior Court the previous
month, when the unusual situation ex-
listed of having granted divorces in ex-
cess of the number of licenses issued.
While the clerk of the court was
looking up the date of an old darkey' s
marriage, away back in the seventies
yesterday, for the purpose OF furnish
ing him with information to be in
corporated in a petition for divorce, one
of the same race but of a later gene
ration, came in to make application for
a marriage Incense. The incident did
not suggest itself as, out of the ordi--
nary to the clerk, who has during his
long term of service in the court be-
come accustomed to the inconsistencies
in human nature and the obliging ma
ture of the divorce and marriage laws.

WOman's Euchre Club,
All the pretty tokens of summertime
marked the entertainment of the Mar
ried Woman's Euchre Club, given yes
terday afternoon by Mrs. Thomas S.
Wylly-or1e of the most charming in
the history of the club. Roses, pop
pies and lovely flowers of every sort
had been used in profusion in the dec
Grafton of the drawing rooms, and in
the background, in effective contrast
was the glossy green of palms, and
rubber plants and ferns.
The warm, sunshiny weather had
been sufficient excuse for the wearing
OF summer frocks, and when the guests
were seated at the card tables Their
fresh light gowns seemed a natural
part of the surrounding beauty and
added to the charm of the scene.
Most appropriately to the season, the
favors and prizes We're all fans. Minia-
ture fans marked the games, and small
fans were used to count the ten hands
larger fans for those of twenty.
The first prize was a sandalwood fan.
This was won by Mrs. Harris Cope,
Mrs. Charles H. Strong received the
second, a pretty fan with ivory stocks
The lone hand prize, also a fan, fell
to Mrs. w. w. Rogers.
Among those present were Mrs.

BAER TELLS MORE
ABOUT THE COAL ROADS
Readings President Gave Further
Evidence Before the Commission.

Readings President Gave Further
Evidence Before the Commission.
New York, April S0.-President Baer
of the Philadelphia and Reading Rail-
road and the Temple Iron Company re-
sumed testifying to-day before the In
terstate Commerce Commission. AL
luding to his testimony yesterday that
ne would try to put the price Of coal
up until 1t reached SIS, he said sales at
given price meant delivery within
the month when the order was placed.
There has been a steady increase in
the consumption of coal since 1897"
said Mr.. Baer in reply to a question
whether the increase in the production
Of coal since 1898 had not been enor-
nous.
Mr.. Baer said the coal road and coal
companies developed an agreement for
mining and distributing coal In sum
mer from all mines on a percentage
basis. The owners of mines were will
ing to restrict the output so the coal
road agreed to carry all coal in sum-
mer as soon as mined. but in no case
when it found the market would take
more were the cars refused Mr.. Baer
said:
1.-The Reading Coal and Iron Com
pany has power to restrict the output
OF its mines. AS head of the corpora
ton, have the power to close mines.
There is no percentage agreement that
no mine should mine more or less,
though there was as to the distribution
of cars in summer"
Commissioner Prouty asked Mr.. Baer
If in raising or reducing the coal traf-
fic of his road for a certain month he
did not take into consideration the traf-
fic percentage as regards other coal
roads, of the month or months preYi-
GUS Mr.. Baer denied that he did. HIS
only concern was about his own prop
critics independent of all others.
Replying to further questions by va
rious members of the commission, Mr..
Baer said the average royalty paid by
his company in mining coal was 80 to
SO cents a ton.
"The cost of mining our COAL" he
said, has been running at 81 96 a ton. .
To reduce the freight rate on hard
coal to that of soft coal would destroy
the. Reading Railroad.
Mr.. Baer said there had never been
any meeting or agreement to make I'M
form freight rates for anthracite on
the coal roads. Railroad charges, he
said, should be such as to enable roads
to earn profits. representing percent
age equal to the prevailing rate of In
terest, lie said the capitalization of
the Reading is fair and honest; that
the stockholders are entitled to a fair
return on their investment: that the
Reading could not reduce its hard coal
freight rate, and hope to earn that re-
turn It was the hope of his admin
istration, he said, to enable the Read
ing Company within a year or two to
pay per cent. on it's first and second
preferred stock.
