SEPTEMBER CLOSE
TO AVERAGE MONTH.

Weather bureau Reports shows 1t
Was About Right in All Respects.
September was, in nearly every re-
spect, close to the conditions of the
normal month as compiled from the
weather statistics for the last 80
years. The greatest difference was
in the fainfall, there being an excess
recorded of 2.T0 inches. In respect to
temperature there was a slight falling
off and one more day of sunshine was
recorded than the average month call
ed for.
The normal temperature for Septem-
Der is rs degrees, while the mean for
last month was only rs degrees, a fall
ing off of degree. The hottest day of
the month was Sept. 6, when the mer-
curry reached SO. This is not, however,
the hottest day ever recorded for Sep
TENDER, the mercury soaring to 81
Sept. 1, 1898.
The lowest temperature for the month
was SO degrees on the 23rd. This was
considerably above the lowest tempera-
ture ever recorded on a September
day, that point being reached on Sept.
2126, 1897, when the mercury dropped
down to 46 degrees. The greatest daily
range for last month was rs degrees on
the oath and the least daily range was
degrees on the 18th.
The average month, compiled from
the record Of the past thirty-two years,
called for ten clear days, eleven part
ly cloudy, and nine cloudy. A gain was
made of one clear day last month, the
record showing that eleven days We're
clear In regard to partly cloudy days
last month and the normal month
were even, each registering eleven of
that nature. The cloudy days Fast
month were eight in number, the nor
NAL month calling for nine.
In rainfall there was a large diff
ference. The normal rainfall for Sep
TENDER during the past thirty-two
years has been 5.67 inches, while last
month S.45 inches fell, an excess of 2.70
inches. The greatest amount of rain
for any twenty-four consecutive hours
occurred on the 14-15th, when 2.27 inches
fell Though this amount is large yet
1t does not equal the record for heavy
rainfall, the highest amount registered
for like space of time being on Sept
Z, 1882, when 400 inches fell.
The wind directions and velocities
were practically like those expected
The prevailing direction was from the
northeast, though the maximum veloci-
ty acquired for five minutes was a
wind blowing from the southwest on
the 18th, which blew for that length
of time at the rate of 81 miles per hour
Thus, with the exception of the rain
fall, last month was very close to
what the normal would predict.

LARGE ENROLMENT
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Increase of More Than Two Hun
dred Scholars Over Last Year.


dred Scholars Over Last Year.
Reports of the number of children
enrolled in the public schools of the
city have been given to Supt. Otis
Ashmore by the different teachers, and
the reports show a total enrolment
Of S,765 white children. This report
does not include the number enrolled
in the High School. Principal H. F.
Train not being able to hand in his
report yesterday.
The gain in the enrolment OF white
children this year over the enrolment
Of last year is sixty-nine, the total
number reported for the opening day
last year being 1886. The increase will
be even larger when the exact num-
Der in the High School is reported.
Though these figures were not given
in with the reports in the grammer
grades, Snpt. Ashmore stated that
there Is an increase in the High
School. which will swell the totals
considerably.
In the colored school Of the city,
2,231 children have been enrolled as
against, 2045 last year This makes
white and colored, 1896 as against
5,741 last year. This shows an increase
Of more than 200 children, and is
strong evidence Of the increasing popu-
larity of the public school system.
This morning Supt. Ashmore will
take UP the work of adjusting the
different grades, and will also en-
deavor to accommodate those children
who could not be assigned seats when
i rrtry fhAv
The teachers reports showed that
there is still room In some of the
grades of the city for, a few more
pupils and a transfer system will be
put in effect which, it is hoped, will
enable all the children who have been
placed on the waiting list to find
seats in some of the schools.
1t has been learned that there are
still several children scattered
throughout, the city who applied for
cards of admission to the schools after
esoay last. The office of the super
intendGnt in Chatham Academy will
be open from 9 to II O'Clock this morn
ing, and cards will again be issued
to those who apply. All children who
have not vet secured their cards must
apply this morning between the hours
mentioned, in order that their names
may be secured before the work OF
readjusting the schools is completed.
Those children who have received
their admission cards but who were
placed on the waiting list, owing to
lack of room in the different grades,
are not expected to report at the Of
flee this morning Supt. Ashmore al
ready has their names and the grades
in which they belong and they will be
assigned seats as rapidly as possible.
It is those children who have not yet
received their admission cards who are
to report at the academy to-day.

80 Years of Continuous Success.

Just think what that means. Thirty
six long years in business, each year
more successful than the previous one,
with never a backward movement, all
ways growing larger, ever increasing
in popular favor. How many that were
doing business thirty-six years ago are
even in existence to-day? Very, very
few. In this age of development and
fierce competition, a concern must do
business right, treat it's customers right
and sell what is right, to even hold its
own, much less advance. To do other
wise means that the concern of to-day
is likely to be out of the running to-
morrow. The graveyards of business
failures is full to overlooking. But thir-
ty-six years of continuous success and
still growing. Think of it! How has it
been accomplished? In just one way.

rect from our own distillery to the con-
sumner, saving him the enormous profits

AGENT WENT TO TYBEE
TO SECURE AFFlDAVITS.
Representatives of Insurance Com

Representatives of Insurance Com
pnnies at Work on Love Case.
The special agents employed in mar
shalling evidence relative to the disap-
pearance of w. S. Love from Tybee
July spent a busy day yesterday and
much evidence was gathered. This evil
dence Is being reduced to affidavit form,
and is typewritten and attested, so
that it will be incorporated in any suit
which might be instituted or used in
the trial of the case. While it is not
known that there will be litigation. it
is a natural inference to suppose there
will be when the zeal Of the parties in
terested is taken into account.
The special agents say their mission
is merely to gather information which
will aid them in determining the value
of the claim against them. Whether
this be so or not, the affidavits so far
secured by them are favorable to the
companys side OF the case. Mr.. Love
has already secured such affidavits as
he desired, and attached them to his
demand for payment, which he made
ii
Special Agent Garrison of the New
York Life Insurance Company spent
most of the day yesterday at Tybee,
where he secured numerous afftdavits.
1t is said that the dispositions of many
who have not heretofore figured in the
case have been secured. Among those
gotten are those of Mr.. Charles +. Gra-
ham of the Hotel Tybee and Mr.. Wood,
ticket agent at the Union Station.
These went to show the peculiar actions
of Love while in Savannah. Mr..
Woods affidavit related mainly to the
departure of a man, fitting the de-
scription given of Love, after the time
the drowning is alleged to have taken
place. This information was printed in
the Morning News at the time.
Nearly all of the affldavits so far Sc
cured by the agents relate TO the Pc
culiar actions of Love. While Agent
Garrison says that the affidavits do not
bear out any particular theory, 1t is
known that they are favorable to the
contentious of the insurance companies.
Mr.. Garrison left last night for the
country. He will return tonight. and
it is probable that he will spend all of
next week in preparing his report to
his company. The other agents are also
actively at work, and will probably re-
main several days longer.

MOONS PROFANE TONGUE
WILL COST HIM HIS JOB.
After Fireman Was Fined by Mayor
He Behaved Badly.

After Fireman Was Fined by Mayor
He Behaved Badly.
After having been fined $25 by Mayor
Myers, Fireman Pat A. Noon went
to the Central Fire Station on Ogle-
thorpe avenue, where he had been To-
Gated, early yesterday afternoon, and
cursed out the department, from Chief
Mcguire to Foreman Toshach, who was
in charge
The obstreperous fireman was
promptly knocked off" and will be in
vited to face the Mayor again to-day.
Whether he Will attend his own de-
capitation at noon cannot be told I'M
til that hour but he was on the verge
of being discharged before his trouble
at the Central Station.
Noon was arraigned before the May
or for improper conduct, for which Of
Tense he was fined $40 During the
trial the fireman used language to-
wards Foreman Rogers that did not
please the Mayor, and an additional
fine of SIS was imposed. Noon was not
at all pleased with the way in which
the trial ended, despite the fact that
it was not his first appearance before
the Mayor.
The fireman later asked the Mayor
not to have the fine taken out of his
salary for September explaining that
he had been knocked off and scarcely
had anything coming to him. Mr. My
ers gave Noon no decided answer and
short While later the trouble on
OglethOrpe avenue occurred The
Mayor had been informed that Noon
had boosted that he would not pay
the fine imposed, but inasmuch as the
city has the money it is not likely that
it will not be collected. When Noon
used profanity in the presence of Fore
man Toshach he would have been ar
rested and sent to the police station
house but for the fact that he left the
station.

FIELD MANEUVERS ON

First Regiment Decides Also to
Have Exhibition Drill Feb. 10.
One of the best schools of instruction
ever held by the First Regiment of
Infantry was held at the armory last
night. The attendance was unusual
ly good, especially considering the
lateness of the notices, the time of
month"; and the fact that it is the
beginning of the drill season.
The instruction covered almost the
entire manual of guard duty, and the
replies of the men to the questions
that they had spent some time in
preparation. Guard duty will be TAX
en- up in all of the companies Monday,
night, and on the following Monday,
night the men viii be practiced in
what is known as straight column and
square formation, which unemployed
in the event of riot duty.
The regiment will soon start to pre-
pare for an exhibition drill to be given
on Lees birthday. On Washington's
birthday field exercises similar to
those held last year will be held, ex-
cept that they will not be so cut and
dried in their nature. 1.-THE companies
will try to out maneuver each other,
the contest to be decided by competent
judges. This will give the officers an
excellent opportunity to display their
knowledge of the tactics and their
natural ingenuity. ..
Maj. Walter K. Coney, on his return
from the army manuevers in the West,
will render a report of what he saw,
accompanying it with set of rules
governing the movements in the field,
and explanations regarding what con-
stitutes a capture, a flank, etc. This
information will be vastly beneficial
10 the men, and will be employed by
them fin the exercises, which they
have in contemplation.
The regiment expects to do some
hard work during the coming season.
The zeal and interest manifested indi-
Gates strongly that a high degree of
efficiency will be attained. and the
regiment, now one of the best in the
state, win be easily the peer of all.
