FOR INLAND
WATER ROUTE
NEW YORK TO SAVANNAH.
CONVENTION HAS BEEN CALLED AT
COLUMBIA DEC. %.

Delegates Invited from South Allan
tic Cities and Trade Organiza-
tiOns-Mr. Edward B. Taylor Here
I'm the Interest of the Movement.
Statistics VIII He Presented by
Chamber of Commerce Showing
Savannah.
Mr.. Edward 3. Taylor, chairman of
the Committee on Inland Water Route
of the Columbia Is. c. Chamber of
Commerce, spent yesterday in Savan-
nah in the interest of the movement
for an inland waterway from New
York to Savannah. The matter has
been before the Savannah Chamber of
Commerce some time. It was pre-
scented by Congressman John H. Smith
Secretary Donlon has prepared a re-
port on the commerce Of Savannah
that would be benefited by the pro-
posed improvement.
The Columbia Chamber Of Com
merce, representing the inland cities
On navigable streams. has called a
convention in the interest of the
movement to be held at Columbia
Dec. %. The convention will be COM
posed of delegates from cities and
lantic coast. Savannah, Charleston,
Georgetown, Wilmington, Newbern,
Norfolk and Baltimore are expected to
send delegates from their trade bodies
and from their city councils. Mr..
Taylor will visit the entire Southern
territory to be benefited by the inn
provement, with view to securing a
large attendance at the convention.
Congressman Small, who is the faith
er of the movement in Congress in an
interview this week. said
"a rivers and harbors bill will, in all
probability be passed at this session of
Congress, and it is my earnest hope
to have incorporated in the bill an ap-
preparation for the commencement of
work on the proposed inland water
way"
The district represented by Mr.. Small
comprises that large area in Eastern
North Carolina through which the
inland waterway will run, and he is.
therefore, in the interest Of his con-
stituency who will be directly bene-
flied, vitality anxious for the success
full prosecution Of the project, but, as
he stated last night, 'it is not alto
gether selfishness on my part which
causes my intense interest, because the
construction of this waterway will be
of far greater benefit to coastwise
commerce in general from Florida to
Philadelphia than it will be to the peo-
pie of my district.
I'm fact, while have their interests
naturally at heart, the benefit they will
derive is a mere incident compared
with the large benefit which will be
derived. When one is familiar with
the conditions existing along the coast
from Philadelphia southwark and
realizes the fact that commerce by
small steamers and barges is practical
ly out of the question. on account of
the hazard in running between Capes
Hatteras and Lookout on the outside,
it becomes hard to realize that the gov
eminent has not long ago taken up this
question and cut the waterway.

thorough study of the question I'M

fee and cigars. After the guests had
enjoyed themselves of the good things
Mr.. Leander Butler called the gather

remarks introduced Mr. Remer l.. Dem
mark, noble grand of Live Oak Lodge.
Mr.. Denmark welcomed those present.
and made an earnest plea for a more

CHARLESTON PAPER EXERCISED
OVER CAPTAIN SIBERT'S CHARGES
Post Says Papers Here Are Trying to Excuse
Team Which Will Be Defeated.

Charleston had the better team, was
better on the defensive, better on the
offensive and showed superior general
ship. This statement was made in the
Morning News Just as he said it.
Charleston players were not denounc-
ed as "a set of rowdies and toughs,'
but the tactics of several of the play
ers will allow each person to draw his
own conclusion. charleston is de-
termined to defeat Savannah on New
Year by fair means or not at all" the
Posts says. So says Savannah, and
the very tactics which provoked the
"disgraceful scenes which occurred in
Savannah two years ago. if repeat
ed would be certain to call forth just
resentment here.
The Posts historical satellite cites, as
proof of inconsistent statements here,
that in the baseball season umpires
were supported in every instance
against opposing teams. If he will re-
fer to the last series of games ne will
find that the worst howl" of the sea-
son went UP against Burke for eX-
hibiting his tendencies as a homer"
In the Fourth of July game, when all
Savannah saw the bad decision, which
Mace afterwards acknowledged, when
Pratz hit a foul and scored the VIM
ming run. it was cautioned that UNI
pires were liable to err, which, of
course, did not lessen the feeling of
resentment here at the loss of such a
holly contested game on such fuke.
Charleston may have the best team.
Charleston may win, but Charleston
will have an argument on New Years
Day.

YALE AND HARVARD
GET IN. FINAL TRIM.

New Haven, Nov. 1.-THE Yale foot
ball team was put through a stin
scrimmage this afternoon with the
subs and came out of it in excellent
shape It was hardly expected that
the men would line up again before
the Harvard game, and when the gates
were thrown open to the public the
prised when they saw the two teams
battling on the 'Varsity's ten-yard line.
Down at the Pequot Club house al
Morris Cove. where the Harvard team
Is quartered, there was an air OF bust
ness this afternoon when late IN the
day the Varsity was given a long sig
nal practice. None OF the men showed
any signs OF physical defects and they
ran through the signals in fast order

no engineering feats to be surmounted;
that a sixteen-foot channel could be
cut for $10,000000 and that $150,0O0 a
year would maintain it.
Impartial data collected by myself
and others in the cities of Baltimore,
Norfolk, Wilmington, N. c., Charles
ton, Savannah and other cities On the
coast, showed conclusively that there
would be a commercial saving of at
least $2,000,000 year in coastwise traf-
fic. So" declared Mr.. Small, sit east
ly proves itself a commercial neces-
sity, not to speak of the governmental
necessity in the event of war, for the
inland movement of the gunboats and
other small craft of the navy
The Rivers and Harbors Commit
tee will meet in Washington on the
22nd of this month to map out the
work to be done on the bill, which
will be presented to Congress, and Mr..
Small took time by the forelock by
introducing bill during the last ses-
sion, carrying an appropriation of $780,
900 for this work, and will appear be-
fore the committee at the earliest pos
sible date in the advocacy of this bill.

IL we have one at all we will con-
tract for 1t right away, and there
will have to be a binding contract, so
that our schedule will not be spoiled,
as it was this year. We expect to
have fully as good team next year as
we have had in the last four years.
We lose Heston and Carter, but all the
remainder of the team will be here,
and this should insure a strong one,
especially as Mr.. Yost will remain to
coach it."
Yost and Baird not only refuse to
talk about the teams that will be ap-
preached for Eastern games but de-
cine to say that schedules will be
mentioned.
Il have curiosity to see the big
teams of the East play" said the
coach, land maybe l can pick up
some pointers. You know football is a
business you have to keep studying all
the time, and we do not want to get
INTO a rut. | know nothing about any
ef1orts for Eastern games, although I
would like 1t very much if we could
arrange one. Mr.. Baird has control of
all that business. however"
Yost is not as downcast as the body

that the victory was we'll earned from
the strongest team Chicago has had

LIVE OAK ODD FELLOWS HOSTS
AT A DELIGHTFUL OYSTER ROAST
One of the Most Enjoyable Social Sessions Held
in Some Time

The officers and members of Live
Oak Lodge, 1. o. o. F., were hosts at
an oyster roast at the old Norman
Beckett place, Isle of Hope, last night,
some hundred guests being present to
participate in the excellent things
prepared for their enjoyment.
The tables were laid in the yard.
Scores of Japanese lanterns shed their
soft light over the scene. while an or

tail had been overlooked, and the sue

Ann Arbor, Mich, Nov. 17.-Before
Coast Yost left for the East Wednes-
day to see the Harvard Yale football
game arrangements for his retention
at the University of Michigan were
completed and he and Manager Baird
will be free to negotiate for an Eastern
football game next year. That Yost
would be at Michigan for another year
at least was positively stated by a
member of the Committee of Athletic
Management of the University to-day.
While Yost and Baird both an
nounce that their reasons for going
East are solely for the purpose of see
ing some of the big games, it is gen
orally understood here that they in
tend to return with an ironcIad agree
ment for a big game. They are de-
termined that there will be no such
fasco as there was this fall, when CO.
lumbia was permitted to back out of
the tentative agreement for a game
and which cut Michigan's schedule un-
usually short. If any agreement is
made at all it will be one that is
binding on both teams.
This point has been settled by con-
1erences of the athletic authorities In
The last two weeks and followed the
agreement on terms between the uni
yersity and Mr. Yost for his services
Tor another year at least. 1t is not
known whether Yost was given an in
crease in salary or not, but if he had
demanded it there is little doubt thar
ne would have received it. Fitzpatrick
IS also to remain at Michigan as
trainer.
Yes, 1t is true that we want an
Eastern game next year." said one of

HARVARD BLUE OVER MEIER's INJURY.

Cambridge, Mass. Nov. 17.-Grave
doubts are now arising as to whether
Ted Meier, the regular right tackle on
the Crimson team, will be able to go
into the Yale game Saturday.
Meters arm was slightly paralyzed
by blow in the Dartmouth game and
was hurt again in the Pennsy game.
1t had been very slow in recovering
and the big tackle, who is considered
the best man in the Harvard lire, will
probably be kept out OF the Yale
game. Meier was also injured in the
Dartmouth game last year and was
unable to get into the Yale game
In order TO get team together that
could play without Meier. the men IN
line were shifted all about to-day.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is infam-
ed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed con-
dition OF the mucous services.
