made in the afternoon. The board, the
first to inspect the historic old fortifi-
cations in many a day, made a thor
ough inspection of the fort and the
premises. They were shown about by
the ordnance sergeant, who is in
charge of the post. This inspection was
made mainly with view to ascertain
ing the condition Of the fort, and
whether it could be used as store
house for military supplies in this dis
trict.
The officers were much interested in
the fort and spent nearly two hours IN
the inspection. They declined to say
what recommendation they would
make. After leaving Fort Pulaski the
officers returned directly to Savannah,
reaching the city before dark.
The members of the board leave this
morning on the Angler for Fort Free
mont, which will be inspected to-mor-
row. They will go next to Charleston,
where the two forts, Moultrie and Sum-

PROVED POPULAR.
Excellent Company Attracted Many
on the Opening Night.

The opening of the Casino last night
was in every way a success. Every
feature on the programme was well
received by an audience that was. I'M
usually large even for an opening
night.
Magic and Adams, in the first act
presented. were very clever. The Jug
Cling and club swinging was especially
well received. 1t was of an unusually
high order. The Lehmans next pre-
scented a comedy sketch. The audience
was kept I'm a laugh from the first in
this act. The famous Crotty trio, in
their singing and dancing stunt,
proved the best feature on the pro-
gramme. The singing was far above
that usually heard on the vaudeville
stage and the dangling was all that
could be desired. In the clog dance
the three appeared especially at home
and were rewarded with a generous
amount of applause.

RICH LUMBER SECTION
TAPPED BY CENTRAL

FIOraIa to BE Shortly Largest Lum-
her Center of South-CIeared Land
to Be Developed.
Besides bringing big industries to
the South the Central Railroad is de-
veloping the country by improving the
lands which it is opening up by the
building of new lines
The Central is extending the Chat
tahoochee and Gulf Railway from
Sellersville, Ala, TO Florala, in Cow
ington county, Alabama, distance of
about twenty-four miles
Florala is located near the state lire
that divides Alabama from Florida,
and is most beautiful and pic
turesque spot. The town is located on
the north side of lake from two and
one-half to three miles in length and
about three-fourths of a mile in width
1t is fed from springs and the water
is as clear as crystal, averaging from
fifteen to forty feet in depth. There
is but very little drainage into the
lake and but one outlet, consequently
the water is clear at all times.
Two miles west of Florala, the

over 5000 acres of fine timber land
has erected a large saw mill plant
When completed it will be the largest
industry of the kind in the South, ca

feet of timber a day. The lands own
ed by it are covered with virgin tim
Der and have not been invaded by ma
val stores men or lumber men until
the present time.
This lumber company claims ii has
timber enough on these lands to run
its mill for at least twenty-five years
The company has constructed a very
extensive plant, large commissary
stores, brick dry kilns and houses for
their officers as well as for their oper-
atives. These when completed they will
have cost at least $500 900. They have
their own locomotives and cars for
hauling their logs, and will have from
thirty to forty miles of railroad, which
will be used by their logging trains.
The persons composing the Jackson
Lumber Company are men who have
been engaged in the lumber business
in the Northwest and are of national
reputation.
In addition to this lumber plant, Mr.,
Hughes, who is located at Florala, has
a large plant, capable of cutting from
$4,000 TO 100000 feet of lumber a day.
He also owns large quantities of tim

DOWN ON BROWNE.
Legislators Do Not Like His Con-
nectiOn With Key West Armory.

Legislators Do Not Like His Com
nection with Key West Armory.
Tallahassee, Fla, May 1S.-The i'm
preston is that Mr.. Browne, chair
man Of the Railroad Commission, has
lost some of his popularity because of
the charge that he was to have a per-
centage of the purchase price of the
arn1ory at Key West, provided the
state purchased it. According to the
story he was to have the bill passed
to sell it to the state and was to have
10 per cent. of the amount received.
The bill was prepared and intro
duced by Mr.. Knowles, one of Mon
roe's representatives. 1t passed both
branches of the Legislature, without
any opposition, authorizing the pay
ment of $4,000 for the armory. (mak-
ing Mr.. Brownies commission $1,000.
The facts in the matter leaked out,
and so exasperated the members that
bill was introduced making it I'M
lawful for any state officer to accept
compensation for assisting measures
through the Legislature.
This transaction is looked upon by
politicians as a blow to Mr.. Brownies
hopes to occupy the Governors chair.
When he became a candidate for mem
Der OF the Railroad Commission. IL
was rumored he was only doing so to
make 1t stepping stone to the execu-
tive office.
Ihat the members of the Legisla-
ture are greatly incensed over Mr..
Browne's action is evidenced by the
introduction and passage in the House
OF a joint concurrent resolution to
provide for the appointment of a com
mlttee to investigate his connection
with the armory matter.

40 MEMBERS OF MILITIA COMMAND
MUSTERED IN
WILL HAVE BOAT DRILLS.
CUTTERS ORDERED FOR RECON
NOIssANCE WORK ON RIVER.

Strength of Naval Militia Now
Greater Than at Any Time Since

vision Was Raised Through the
Efforts of Lieut.. Commander II. s.
COIdinE and Lieut.. GiRnilliRt-C.
w. saussy Elected as Its Com
mander-Uniforms and Equipment
Will Soon Arrive.
The new torpedo division of the
Naval Militia, G. S. T., was mustered
in last night, with a total strength of
forty men, by Lieut. Commander H. S.
Colding. under order from Adjt.
Gen. Robertson. The strength of the
naval militia is now greater In Sa-
vannah than at any time since the
Spanish American War, at which time
the enrolment was 120 men.
It is expected that within a few
weeks the two local divisions will repre-
sent a greater numerical strength than
did the two divisions prior to the late
war. The new division was raised
through the efforts of Lieut.. Command
er Colding and Lieut.. Gignilliat, by per-
mission of Gov. Terrell a short while
ago.
Renewed Activity.
There is much activity and interest
in naval militia circles in Savannah at
this time, and it is the desire of the
officers to get the militia on as good
a footing as it was five years ago,
when, after some MISUNDERSTANDING
and difficulties, internal dissension re-
suited in the disentegration of one of
the commands. The new division will
be armed and equipped as soon as pos
sible and will add greatly to the
strength of the naval militia in the
state.
Though the uniforms have not yet
been ordered, and could not be until
the muster was finished, the division is
on a working basis and will begin reg
ular drills, under their Commander
elect, Lieut.. c. w. Saussy, at once
The newly elected officers were COM
missioned as boatswain's mates some
time ago, so that while waiting for
their commissions to arrive they would
lose no time. Lieut.. Saussy is chief of
mates.
To Have Boat Drills.
In addition to the requisition for uni
form and equipment which will soon be
made, a requisition has already been
made for two cutters, with sails and
oars, to be used by the men in boat
drills and reconnaissance work on the
river These cutters are thirty feet in
length, and their acquisition will, the
officers think. add to the interest in the
naval militia in this section.
The inspection began at $3.50 o'clock.
The men were lined up. and the oath
of enlistment read TO them by Lieut..
Commander Colding. Each of the men
subscribed to this, and enrolled his
name on the muster roll. Officers were
then elected. The election was presid-
ed over by Lieut.. Commander Coiding,
and Lieut.. Gignilliatt and Lieut.. Carter
were sworn in as election officers.
The names of those who were elected
are:
Lieutenant-C. w. SaussIy
Lieutenant, Jr. Grade-Victor H.
