rules of the general conduct OF the
game.
The crowd of 5000 forsook its furs
and overcoats to settle down to COM
fotable enjoyment of the struggle, oc-
casionally to be aroused by a pretty
run or a small bit of line breaking.
The first thrill of alarm went through
this great gathering of enthusiastic
supporters of the Blue and White al
most with the first Shrek of the ref
eree'S whistle. After Cornwall had
sent the ball sailing well into the
Gold and Black territory, Dodge re-
ceiving 1t without gain, Hogan Yancy
made bis first bow to a Savannah foot
ball audience.
Bob Kennedy's whining chant of the
elaborate series of signals had almost
been forgotten when the ball was final
ly snapped. The sturdy quarter SEEM
ed hold 1t interminably long, while in
front of him the struggle between the
two lines was going on as though the
play were being sent crashing through
every art.
Crouching low, waiting for the su-
preme moment when the coast seemed
clear Hogan Yancy finally received the
delayed pass and went crashing
around Savanhah's right end for fifteen
yards clean. and but for a fast. hard
tackle by Landsberg. he was in a fair
way TO play hare to the hound in
chase for the coveted goal. Then there
was a true realization that the task
for Savannah was no easy one.
Punting "A Feature.
Great in line charging, magnificent in
grazing tackle and circling the end.
Worth YancV, the real all-Southern
fullback, was wonderful in the consist
ency of his punting. No less than
seven times was he called on in the
first half to kick. and each time he
measured out from forty to fifty yards.
Capt. Cope was not up to his usual
punting game. once falling to get the
ball on fair catch in a try for field
goal. The kick was blocked before
he finally got it away.
The sensation OF the game was Ho-
gan Yancy's run from Savannah's ten
yard line to a touchdown. Nothing
like II has ever been seen on a Sayan-
nah field, and even among the most
loyal Savannah rooters too bad" found
free expression when the referee sus-
tanned claims of "out of bounds" as
Yancy was crossing the thirty-yard
line.
Twice Yancy carried the ball across
the goal line with no one near him
only to lose the touchdown on going
out of bounds. That this was not a
fault of his was evident. His interfer-
ence carried him too wide in each in
stance.
savannah in Second Half.
In the second half the blue and white
flashed down the field without seeming
opposition. In the tired and bleeding
blue backf1eld there was a new figure,
as vet untried this season, but with
past laurels won on the gridiron to
recommend him as worthy OF the trust
to be placed in him.
To the spectators on the side line
he reminded one of the peerless Har-
mon, and in action he was more like
that whirling, wiggling. ducking.
lodging halfback who has never failed
when called on. Only once from the
sixty-yard line right on down for a
touchdown was he relieved of carry
ing the ball, and each try brought the
play from ten TO twenty-five yards
further down the field.

WANT BRYAN IN NEW YORK
Democratic Leader Needed to
Combat Tom Watson.

Mr.. Bryan, when he was candidate
for president, used to speak of New
York as the enemY's country. He so
designated it because SO many demo
Gratis of that state were opposed to
him. The Indications are that he will
be called there during the present
campaign to speak in behalf of unit
ed democratic party.
The question of asking him to make
a few speeches in New York is being
considered by the democratic national
committee. 1t is announced that Mr.
Watson, the populist candidate, is 60
ing to make special effort to pol! a
big vote 10 that state. He is scheduled
to make speeches in New York city,
Buffalo, Rochester, Utica, Albany,
Troy, Brooklyn and Syracuse 1t Is
thought a few speeches by Mr.. Bryan
would Offset whatever effect Mr.. Wat
sons speeches might have.

BIG FARM FOR CONNECTS.
Mississippi Purposes to Become
Great Cotton Planter.

A Jackson, Miss, dispatch says Gov
ernor. Vardaman and Commissioners
Bradley and McNair have returned
from Sunfower plantation where they
investigated conditions there with a
view of determining whether it would
be wise to put all the convicts on this
farm the first of the year.
1t seems probable that at the next
meeting of the board an order will be
passed to concentrate all the cOnvicts
on this plantation. If the order is
passed it will mean that the state will
rent no more land, but will take the
convlcts ftom the rented places and
put them on the farm.
There are now on the new farm half
the prison population of the state, or
800 men, and there are 5000 acres of
land under cultivation. There are still
about 5000 acres of land on the place
uncleared.
The concentration of most OF the
convicts on one plantation, owned and
oper ated by the state, has been sought
for years by those who have interested
themselves in prison reform in this
state

Alleged Confession of Webster County
Murderer. Says He Was Prom
ised One Thousand Dollars.

Bill Ellis, the slayer of Joe Phillips
at a campmeeting IN Webster county,
has been committed to Jail to await
trial for his crime which, according to
startling confession he is said to
have made, was done for hire.
The negro now declares that he was
to be paid 81 900 for killing Joe Phil

This alleged confession is said to
haYe been made freely and voluntarily
by Ellis in the presence of Sheriff
Montgomery of Webster county, At

Some such confession was rather ex-

mo MORE COMPETITION.
WHAT THE SALE or THE SEABOARD
AIR LINE MEANS TO SOUTH.
Purchase of the Road Connected With
a Syndicate That is interested in the
Other Big Southern Systems.

1t is the understanding that Thomas
f. Ryan and Blair 81 Co. have be-
come the owners of the .Seaboard Air
Line, and that it is to he operated as
al independent property. 1t Is prob
able that it is to be operated lndepend'
emily of any other property, but doubt
less relations of the utmost harmony
will exist between it and the other big
systems of the south Atlantic states.
1t is hardly reasonable to suppose that
Blair & Co. and Mr.. Ryan intend to
hold the entire stock themselves.
Probably there is syndicate inter-
e5ted in the purchase. 1t isn't at all
improbable that men who are holders
of the securities of the Southern,
Central, Atlantic Coast Line and the
Louisville and Nashville are interest
ed in the Seaboard.
What a group of capitalists that have
been acquiring railroad property in
this part of the south for several years
is aiming at Is to harmonic railroad
interests. These capitalists have con-
fidence in the south, and hence have
been investing their money in south
ern railroad properties. They now
seem to control the situation. assuming
of course that those who own all these
roads are acting in harmony, aud, in
| future, we shall haYe no rate wars.
That doesn't mean, however, that
rates will be increased. 1t only means
that rates will be stable, and that the
cost of getting business will not be so
great as it has been. Of course the
highest rate permitted by the COM
missions of the states, which the roads
traverse will be charged. There will
be no competition.

HOW TOGO WENT TO WAR.
Admiral Didn't Bid Wife Good
by, Says American Guest.

Mrs. M. M. Carpenter, who recently
returned to her home at Dunellen, N. j.,
after a nine years residence in Japan,
was a welcome guest at the home OF
Admiral Togo of the Japanese navy,
and brought with her a dagger which
the younger son of the mikado had pre-
sented to her, says the New York
Times. She was q visitor at the ad-
miraHs house after the opening of hos
tilities with Russia.
The admiral, Miss Carpenter says,
left his family without letting even his
wife know where be was going or what
the character of his mission was, and
the admiral's wife did not know of his
movements till she saw his name in the
papers in connection with an early nav
al engagement
Secrecy" added Miss Carpenter,
marks ali the movements of the Japa-
nese warriors Here in war times we
enthuse and arouse the patriotism Of
the people with pageants Of soldiery
going to the front to do battle. But in
Japan the soldiers are carried through
the country and the cities in locked
cars, windows closed so they cannot
be heard, and curtains drawn so they
cannot be seen. And yet patriotism is
intense everywhere. Rich and poor
alike at the first intimation that war
must come even put their most precious
heirlooms in pledge for the govern
ments aid and contributed many mil
lions of money to the nations war
fund"

The fire insurance tariff associ-

complete that there is no choice

destroyed competition. 1t seems
to us that there is a federal law as
