THREE MEN NARROWLY
ESCAPED DROWNING.
Thrown Into River by Capsizing of
Sail Boat.

Three white men narrowly escaped
drowning last night at IL O'Clock. But
for the prompt and effective service
rendered them by two of the watch
men at Rourke's Foundry at least one
of the men would have lost his life and
possibly all three.
The watchmen. Peter Aiken and Will
liam Riley. were watching a small sail
boat coming across the river toward
the city, when. apparently, something
became the matter with the mast, and
one of the men climbed it, with the
result that the boat capsized, and all
three of its occupants were thrown into
the river.
The boat was pretty close to the
dock at the time of the accident, and
the watchmen were able to go to the
aid of the men at once in a small boat
that was tied to the wharf. They were
none too soon with the help, for one
of the men had drifted under the
boat and had assistance come to him
even a few minutes after when it did,
he would have been drowned. AS it
was, the rescued men were merely
wet and very tired because of their
struggles. After they had rested they
started for their homes in cabs.

Savannah, Ca, March 26th, 1904
Read what a well-known travelling
man has to say: Mr.. M. M. Eason,
the veteran salesman, who has been
with George w. Tiedeman, wholesale
grocer, for seventeen years. holds the
record of having been longer on the
road than any other salesman travel
ing out of Savannah. His genial, cour-
teous disposition and fair dealings to-
wards his customers have made him
many friends throughout the Savan-
nah territory, and there is no place
without a welcome and an order for
Uncle Mike wherever he goes. He
adds his testimony to many others,
praising the wonderful curative prop
critics of White Stone Lithia Water:
Messrs. Dougan & Sheftall Savan-
nah, Ca: Dear Sirs-For some time
past my daughters have been drinking
your White Stone Lithia Water with
such excellent results that l was in

JOHN DYAL WILL BE
ADMITTED TO BAIL.
Attorneys Could Not Agree on the
Amount.

Bail will be allowed John Dyal, ac-
cused of the murder of Leland Murray,
section boss. The defendant was rep
resented by Judge Norman, and Messrs.
Norman & Way, at the hearing before
Judge Seabrook yesterday. Col. p.
w. Meldrim looked after the interests
of the state and the railway company.
No attempt was made to fight the
application for bail, Col. Meldrim
stating that he did not wish to hold
the man in any unnecessary punish
ment, but he contended that the bail
be made sufficiently large to insure
DyaPs appearance at court.
The defendants attorneys called at
tention to the extreme poverty of the
defendant and asked that he be al
lowed bail in the sum not greater than
$1,000. This Col. Meldrim stated he
did not think high enough, and sug-
gested that it be fixed at $4,000. There
was no chance of an agreement be-
tween the attorneys. and as result
Judge Seabrook took the evidence
brought out in the Liberty County
Court, and stated that he would de-
termine the amount and notify both
attorneys by mail.

CHATHAM MAY
BREAK ROTATION
FRICTION SEEMS LIKELY.
EFFINGHAM MUST SELECT MAN
AGREEABLE TO CHATHAM.

Under the Rotation System 1t Is Eff
Angham COunty's Turn to Name
the Senator-Chatham Politician
Say They Are willing for This
System to Continue but That IVA
ciIIatfng" Man Must Not BE
Named - This County Can Name
Senator Any Time.
There appears to be a chance of
Chatham county kicking out of the
| traces, as it were, and refusing to con-
/ tinue the rotation system in the selec-
ton of a state senator from the First
District.
Under the rotation system IT is Ef-
fngham county's turn to name the
senator, but a man suitable to those
in control in Chatham will have to be
selected, or the rotation system may
fall. Chatham controls the senatorial
convention with six votes in ten, and
can, at any time, say who shall be
senator from this district.
Col. Morgan Rawls and Mr.. John
E. Foy are the candidates in Efing-
ham, and Col. Rawls claims the coun-
ty. He has asked that the other coun-
ties keep hands off, and let Effingham
settle the question, and he will be sat-
isfied. But the claim is made by some
of the followers of the administration
forces in Chatham that Col. Rawls
ham can at any time break the rota-
ton system Efingham should select a
man who will be perfectly satisfactory
to this county.
Must Choose Proper Man.
1--WE are perfectly willing to have
the senator come from Effingham, and
don't want to be forced to break the
rotation system" said political light
in Chatham yesterday, but we want
a man who will be in harmony with
US, or at least a man we can tell
something about.
1--WE would much prefer to have Eff
fingham make the choice, but we must
insist that the proper man be chosen.
We simply like to know just where a
man stands, and it makes no differ
ence to US If such a man is named
by Effingham. But it Is my opinion
that if Effingham county makes a mis-
take this time the rotation system will
be thing of the past.
Interest Centers on Senator.
Outside of the senatorial race, the
coming primary is not exercising the
Chatham county politicians any, but
in the matter of selecting a senator
they have simply decided to take the
bull by the horns If Effingham does not
lame the proper man, as they see
him. Chatham county will not vote
for a senator at the primary election,
but will name delegates to the con-
vention which will chose the senator.
Outside of the candidacy of Mr.. T.
]. Davis for receiver of tax returns,
no opposition has developed to any of
the county officers. 1t is not general
ly believed that there will be any op-
position, and interest at this time is
centered in the senatorial fight, and
the race for the congressional nomi-
nation.

BoILERMAKERS STRUCK
FOR A SHORT TIME.
Called Out by One of Their Number
Who Had Been Discharged.

called Out by One of Their Number
Who Had Been Discharged.
strike among the boilermakers and
their helpers employed at Kehoe's Iron
Works took place yesterday morning
at O'Clock.
They were called from work by one
of their number, who had been dis
charged, but later asked to return to
their business and have been granted
permission to begin again tomorrow
morning.
Mr.. William Kehoe in discussing the
matter, said the men were at work on
repairs to the steamers Clifton
and the Cynthia No. 2, when
one of their number was
found to be in a condition that pre-
vented his properly attending to his
work. He was discharged. He prompt
ly induced the other men, about seven
boilermakers and some nine or ten
helpers, to quit, unless he were rein
stated.
Later the men found out why the
discharge had been made, and asked
to be allowed to return to work. 1t is
probable that all of them will be given
back their former places. The boiler
makers are white. Some of the helpers
are white and others colored.

INJUNCTION AGAINST
T0M0CHICHI CLUB
Asked for by the Savannah vOIun-
teer Guards.

Asked for by the Savannah VoIun-
teer Guards.
In the Superior Court yesterday an
application for temporary and perma-
nent injunction against the Tomochi-
chi Club was asked by the Savannah
Volunteer Guards. The process was
served on the Tomochichi Club, with
an order to appear at the next term
of court and show cause why the in
junction should not be granted.
It is alleged by the petitioners that
they have rented certain property to
the Tomochichi Club for the purpose
of their use only. In the lease no
privilege of sub-letting is given. 1t is
alleged that the Tomochichi Club is
about to sub-let certain portion of the
quarters rented them to another party
and that such will work to the great
damage of the Savannah Volunteer
Guards.
For these reasons the Guards ask
that a temporary injunction be grant
ed and that the defendants be COM
PEELED to appear in court and show
cause why the temporary injunction
should not be made permanent.

Larceny After Trust.

Was Arrested on Warrant Charging
Larceny After Trust.
Robert White. a colored jeweler do
ing business at No. 610 jefferson street
was arrested yesterday on warrant
sworn out in Justice Naughtins court
by Harry J. Freeman, charging him
with larceny after trust.
Freeman charged that he gave White
his watch several days ago that 1t
might be repaired. HeAwent for it at
the appointed time, and was told that
it had been sent to Chicago. After
waiting a reasonable length of time
Freeman decided to have White arrest
ed and swore out the warrant.
When the officers arrested White
twenty pawn tickets for watches,
clocks and jewelry were found, and 1t
is believed that many other complaints
similar to that made by Freeman will
be preferred against him.

II You Wanted to Buy a Horse,

And couldn't go yourself, but sent a
friend, giving him a sum of money,
you would naturally expect that after
paying for the horse he would bring
you back the animal and the change.
Suppose you had similar transaction
every year, would you join others who
had similar business, all of you agree
ing that your friend keep the change"
every year for twenty years, and that
each of you will buy horse, paying
the same amount every year during
that time and that he is not to give
any of you an accounting of his trans
actions so far the surplus goes, and
that should you fail any year to buy
horse, or die before the end of the
twentieth year, then you forfeit all the
surplus in his hands? If, however,
you live TO the end of the time as
agreed, and have purchased a horse
each year, paying the same amount,
then you are to get such settlement
as he chooses to make you at that
time. You are not to see the books,
but must take his word as to how
much or how little is coming to you.
Would you make a business deal of
this sort? Hardly. Yet this Is analo-
gous to "Tontine" life insurance, some
times oalled Deferred Dividend"
'Survivorship Dividends" etc. Tontin-
ing the dividends has no more to do
with life insurance than the keeping
of the change has to do with the horse
trade. 1t (Tontine) Mas been called a
gambling scheme.
The best way is to get your dividend
every year, then you will know
where you're at"
The Massachusetts, Mutual writes

HEAVY REGISTRATION
is ANTICIPATED.
Books VIII Soon Close and Rush Is
Looked for Now.

1t is probable that this week will be
tration Clerk Powers. The books will
close on April 9, and those who do not
get their names on before that time
will not be permitted to vote in the
primary on April 20.
Upon the registration that is now
going on great deal depends. I'm
less voters qualify at this time they
will not be permitted to vote for a con-
gresham, as well as state and county
officers. Because of this fact it is eX
pected that the registration this week
will be unusually heavy. There ap-
pears to be no doubt that the regis
tration will go over the 5000 mark.
Clerk Powers will be on duty during
the week, from o'clock in the morn
ing until 2 O'clock in the afternoon.

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH SUBWAY PLANS?
Is What the City OmciaIs Want to
Know at Once.


Know at Once.
City officials are beginning to get
uneasy about the Gwinnett street sub
way plans, which were turned over
to the Savannah Electric Company
for approval just one week ago yes
terday.
Nothing has been heard from the
officials of the company and Mayor
Myers before leaving for Macon Fri
day telephoned to President George ].
Baldwin to ask about the plans. No
decision had been reached and the
Mayor asked that as much haste as
possible be used.
Alderman Grayson, who has been
very much interested in the subway,
since it was first suggested, had prev
iously had a conference with the
Mayor about the matter. It is very
likely that some decided action will
be taken by the city officials il the
plans are not heard from within the
next few days.
