KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
MEMBERSHIP
Considerably Increased Since First

Considerably Increased Since First
of the Year.
The membership of the Forest City
Lodge, No. /, knights of Pythias shows
a gratifying increase since the first
of the year, and the local officers are
much pleased over the showing that
has been made by the lodge. Since
January there have been ninteen new
members received through limitations
and cards, and the far greater part
of this number has been by initiation.
At this season Of the year the an
nual reports of the lodges throughout
the state are being received at the
Office of the grand keeper of records
and seals and though the totals have
not yet been computed, owing to the
fact that all of the lodges have not
yet reported, the indications are that
the increase as noted in the Forest City
Lodge is indicative of that which is be-
ing made throughout the entire state,
and an enlarged enrolment of Knights
is practically assured.
The grand keeper of records and
seals, Mr.. William H. Leopold, is in
New York looking after some business
interests there, and will be absent from
the city for ten days or two weeks.
During his absence the duties of his
office are being carried out by Mr.
Charles ]. White, the past chancellor
of the Forest City Lodge.

A THOUSAND DOLLARS
READILY SECURED
Soliciting Committees for Fair Are Meeting With
Great Success

The members of the various sub
committees of the Savannah Racing
Association which were appointed to
assist in the raising of money to de-
fray the expenses of the fair in No
vember are meeting with continued
success and the indications are that
the desired amount will be raised in a
very short time.
Yesterday the members of the
Broughton street subcommittee made
another effort in the money-raising
line and though they worked but half
an hour, they succeeded in securing
$500. They secured $3.50 Monday,
thus making the total amount raised
by this committee alone $1,190.
When the members of the other COM
mittees were asked concerning their
success they reported that they found
all whom they approached ready and
willing to contribute and that they
had succeeded in raising considerable
sums, though the exact amounts were
not given. The project is being re-
ceived with enthusiasm and the con-
tributions are very liberal. The en-
tire city is taking a decided interest in
the fair, and is doing all in it's power
to make it a success and to extend ev-

cry aid to those who have the arrang-
ing of the details in charge.
A prominent member of the Racing
Association said, in speaking of the
fair:
The committees have not been ask
ing for cash, but simply for pledges in
case we are compelled to call upon
them to help defray the expenses of
the fair. From the outlook we are
confident that we will not be called
upon to ask for any of the money. and
at most for not more than a fraction
of 1t. The outlook is very promising.
and we will be considerably disap-
pointed if we do not clear expenses
easily.
THE expenses of the fair this year
will be considerably lighter than they
were two years ago. Then there
were several expenses incurred
which were absolutely necessary,
but which will not confront
us this year. Besides this,
there will be a considerable reduction
in expenses through our dispensing
with certain things which were
thought necessary, but which we find
that we can easily arrange for in 9TH
err ways, thus cutting down ito a con-
siderable extent. Everything points to
most successful fair and we believe
that the merchants of the city will be
greatly benefted by the project, as
considerable money will be spent here
by those who come to attend it,"

From Augusta and Atlanta comes
stories of dissatisfaction by the return
ing soldiers from the state shoot at Sa-

burden Of their song-seems to be that
the food was poor. Capt. Austin, post
quartermaster of the shoot, when asked
regarding these statements, said:
1.-The men who did the greatest
amount of bowling were those who
were used to nothing better. l am free
to confess that it would have been pref
cradle to have had more style; to have
had few napkins or perhaps a finger
bowl or two, but as far as the food it.
self is concerned, must say the COM
plant is unfounded. The same meals
are being served to the gentlemen who
are attending the interstate shoot, and
l have not had a complaint. On the
other hand, l have been told by many
of them that the meals are excellent.
1T is very hard matter to please
some people; and a still more difficult
task to please everybody. l notice one
of the Augusta officers, in an interview
with one of his local papers, complains
that the ice tea got cold before his
men were ready for it. We can't please
such people.
1--WE made an earnest and conscien-
tious effort to give the men good, sub
stantial food and plenty of it, and
while know that there have been some
complaints, am glad to say that there
are many who appreciated our efforts
and who agree with us that the howl
which has been raised in some sections
is unWarranted."

the forty passengers by Kuyler Swamp
mosquitoes of an extraordinary size,
with pincers that would penetrate the

railroad company publishes a certain
schedule for the benefit of the public,
but their employees seem to take pleas
ure in ignoring the same when it
suits their convenience and they do not
hesitate to leave Sa ldf1y Station, en-
route to the city, from Isle of Hope,
even with the Montgo merry car in sight
leaving the passenb ers on the latter
line to amuse thems elves repelling the
assaults of the denizens of the sur
rounding swamps, without any means
of even making themselves comfor-
table, other than on railroad crosst1es
and stills 1t would be hard to find a
more disappointed and angry crowd of
passengers than those who left Mont
gomery at 1853 p. m. Sunday night,
getting to Sandf1y just in time to see
the connecting Isle of Hope car pull
ing away from the Thunderbolt switch,
about 300 yards from Sandf1y. We hope
that this condition which has existed
for some time past will soon be correct
ed by the able and efficient manager of
the company, who is fully conversant
with all of said conditions, except those
acquired by actual experience.
