Mayor Myers and Judge LathrOD
Held n Conference.
A conference was held yesterday be-
tween Mayor Myers and Judge La
throp, the chairman of the Board of
County Commissioners. relative to the
garbage question about which there
have recently been so many complaints.
Both Judge LathroD and the Mayor
agreed that the present mode OF nan
ding the garbage is very objection
able and must be remedied. President
Baldwin of the Savannah Electric
Company, will be seen one day next
week, and arrangements will then be
made to do away with the present OBJ
jectionable features.
Mayor Myers SAID he was satisfied
the evil would be remedied within a
few days. Both the city and county
officials oppose the present plan and
changes are to be made. When ii
was inaugurated it was not known that
it would prove Objectionable. The route
of the garbage cars in getting out
side the city is to be changed, and the
dumping ground is to be moved.
The present dumping ground is too
close to the regular street car line, ana
to some residences. 1t will he placed
further over on the county farm, it is
thought. Mayor Myers is certain the
matter will be remedied within the
next week.

Work of Inspectors i'm Savannah
Ended for Present Tour.
Inspections of the Savannah militia
were finished last night by the inspec-
ton of the Georgia Hussars, Troop A,
First Regiment, Cavalry, Georgia State
Troops.
1t was a rigid inspection. but one
that the troop stood well. not only in
attendance, but in the condition of
armory and accoutrements, and in the
mounted drill that formed a part of
the work through which the troopers
were out.
The men were first inspected dis
mounted in the armory, and then taken
to the Park Extension for mounted
drill. This was watched by a large
number of spectators. Out of an en-
listed active strength of forty-two men
and three officers, the troop turned out
thirty-nine men and three officers. OF
the absentees each had been called
from the city on important business.
To-day the inspectors, Col. William
G. Obear, inspector general, Georgia
State Troops, and Maj. F. H. French,
United States inspector, Georgia State
Troops, will inspect the Liberty Troop
and the Liberty Guards. at Hinesville.
Capt. A. Gordon Cassels, Of the Lib
erty Troop. left yesterday for Hines
vile, where he had summoned the
members of his command to gather
at the arnory last night, and to spend
the night there. He is determined to
have a good attendance, and says that

Life Guards.

The Life Guards are two regiments
of cavalry forming part of the British
household troops. They are gallant
soldiers, and every loyal British heart
is pround of them. Not only the
Kings household. but yours, ours,
everybodys should have it's life guards.
The need of them is especially great
when the greatest foes of life, diseases,
find allies in the very elements as
colds, influenza, catarrh, the grip, and
pneumonia do in the stormy month
of March. The best way that we
know of to guard against these dis
eases is to strengthen the system with
Hoods Sarsaparilla-the greatest of all
life guards. 1t removes the condi-
tions in which these diseases make
their most successful attack, gives
vigor and tone to all the vital or
gans and functions, and imparts a
genial warmth to the blood. Remem-
Der the weaker the system the, great
er the exposure to disease. Hood S
Sarsaparilla makes the system strong

Mr.. Gordon Saussy, who announced
a short time ago his intention of form
ing a Grover Cleveland club in Sa-

of organizing the club, because of the
pressure of other matters, but hopes to
be able to call a meeting within a
short time now. 1t had been an

From the interest that has been
evinced in the mere announcement of
the plan and the assurances of hearty
and unsolicited support that Mr.. Saus-
sy has received from various sources,
he is satisfied that the sentiment in
Savannah, as well as in other parts of
the state, is strongly in favor of Cleve-

Mr.. Cleveland has positively announced
that he is not a candidate and that
he IS now regarded as an impossibility
by many, will not prevent the or

since large number do not believe
Mr.. Cleveland could refuse to make
the race if nominated.

TEARING UP OLDEST

Started.
Preparatory work was started yes
terday on the paving of Whitaker
street. Park avenue and Abercorn
street have almost been completed,
and the work on Whitaker will be
pushed at a rapid rate now.
The old cobble stone pavement on
Whitaker street, which is being torn
up to make way for the vitrified bricks,
is the oldest pavement in the city. 1t
was put down in the EARLY fifties and
caused a great deal of discussion then.
Strenuous objections were made to
putting down the cobble stones, it be-
ing stated by those opposed to the
pavement that the stones would sink
into the sand"
In spite of the many objections the
pavement was put down by Capt. r.
d. Walker who was then an alderman.
He had made observations of pave
ments in Charleston and knew just
what could and what could not be
done. He convinced a sufficient num-
Der of the people to allow the paving
to proceed. How we'll he did his work
is shown by the long time that the
pavement has lasted.
After the paving of Whitaker street,
West Broad and the other streets that
have been passed upon by Council

For this improvement and number

do not think the tax rate should be
increased and the money could be
raised just as easily on the bonds. For
bridges and for school houses, / would
favor the issuing of a limited amount
of bonds.
1.-The benefit from these improve
ments will be received in the future
and the future could thus be made to
pay for them. A permanent bridge
across the Great Ogeechee would be
of vast benefit to Savannah. Chatham
county and the adjoining counties. 1t
should be built by all means. If the
money cannot be raised with the pres
ent tax rate, l think bonds should be
issued, as / believe firmly in low taxes
for state, county and city
There would be no trouble at all to
get bill through the Legislature au-
thorizing the issuance of bonds. In
this way the money could be raised
without it's falling heavily on any one,
as the bonds could be paid off gradu-
ally in the years to come. Such an
issue need not be large and the bene-
fits that would be derived from the
construction of this bridge and from
other needed improvements would be
inestimable.''
