Improvement"
In his report to Mayor Collins of Bos-
ton under date of December 4th. 1902, Mr..
Harvey s. Chase. public accountant and
auditor. said:
Actual improvement in efficiency of
municipal labor can be expected only
when city foremen and superintendent
have fun authority over the men under
them and when sufficient inducement is
offered to the efficient officer, in the
shape of a substantial recognition of
work wen done.
The fundamental necessity is. there
fore. that the results of the work in each
department and division in very city.
should bo made plainly evident. and
should be published by means Of standard
and uniform schedules. so that COMPARE
Sons can be easily and accurately made
by any intelligent citizen. These COM
pauies must include corresponding re-
suits in the same departments in other
cities. IN ;tis way a capable employe
can establish a reputation for effective
ness which should be rewarded with
service and adequate pay. On the other
hand q department ineficiently carried
on can be detected Immediately. as there

Commonly, the first symptom of "cold !"
Is a chilly feeling, accompanied by sneez-
ing. or tickling in the throat. The most
frequent of external causes are draughts,
wet or cold feet, or going from hot rooms
suddenly into cold ones. More frequently
there is an inner cause--namely the stagna-
ton of the blood caused by constipation or
biliousness. Almost the first symptom IS
the feeling of cold in the feet and increased
discharge from the nose. -,
No one ever takes cold unless constr
pated, or exhausted and having what we
cali mal.nutrition, which is attended with
iu1poverished blood and exhaustion OF nerve
force. Tonics consisting OF large portions
of alcohol iron or cod liver oil do not bring
the desired changes in the blood, because
thew do not enter the system and are not
absorbed into the blood, with the exception
of the alcohol, which shrivels up the req
blood corpuscies when it does come IN
contact with them. We recommend the
botanical extract of DR.. Pierce because It
contains no alcohol, and offers reasonable
and scientific method of treating the olooo,
by improving the nutritive functions OF the
patient. The "Golden Medical Discovery
Accommodates this, by first restoring the

National political sentiment is cry

proaches.
Sam Jones will, during his lecture
at the Savannah Theater, on May "a,
deliver what promises to be interesting
opinions on the approaching conven-
ton. Mr. Jones will discuss Democ-
racy and it's prospects as they ap-
pear from a survey from his stand
point shortly before the convention
meets at ST. Louis.
This promises to attract as much, or
more, attention than the utterances of
any other Southern man, for Mr.. Jones
has already talked on conditions and
prospects for the Democracy in a way
that has interested the leaders, who
recognize that he is close to the voter
in this section, and his travelling among
them enables him to gather facts thar
makes his opinions the more signifi-

formed. The new regiment was order
ed to Richmond. Va, and placed in
Gen. Wade Hampton's command.
The Seventh Georgia Calvary took an
active part in a number of the most
disastrous battles fought around Rich
mond during the war and suffered
heavy reverses. 1t started out num-
boring about one thousand officers and
men. and lost heavily in killed, wound
ed and missing. Company B, of which
Capt Fleetwood was a member, suf-
fered perhaps more than any other
company in the regiment. All the Off
GERS and three-foUrths of the enlisted
men of the company were killed or
wounded and the company was dis
banded, the remaining members being
assigned to other companies.
When Lee surrendered there were
only thirty-nine officers and men of
the Seventh Georgia Cavalry left, out
of the original regiment of 1000.
After the surrender at AppomattoX
Capt. Fleetwood returned to Savannah
and re-entered the pilotage. He
was given his full branch and also a
masters certificate for the Atlantic
Coast and was engaged on the various
steamships plying between this port
and Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York

captain on the following tug boats:
Starlight, Winpenny, Leon, Charleston,
Stevens, Ajax and Christiana- He has
commanded the following steamers:
Water Lilly Carrie, Katie, David
Clark, City of Bridgeton, Advance and
Progress. The last two named steam
ers were built under his supervision in
Augusta
During his career as a pilot Capt.
Fleetwood has served on the pilot
boats John R. Wilder, H. F. Willink,
c. A. L. Lamar, Sophie Surprise and
Sprite He was captain of the Wilder
and the last three named boats.
While serving on the Lamar Capt.
Fleetwood rescued seven men from
drowning on Tybee bar and while cap
tain of the Sprite he rescued five men
from a capszed boat in the Savannah
river
Capt. Fleetwood piloted the cruiser
Philadelphia into Tybee Roads during
the May celebration in 1892 and piloted
her out to sea when she left here. Dur
ing the Spanish-American War he pi-
loted the first and largest transport,
the Minnewaska into the Savannah
harbor and moored her at the Ocean
Steamship wharves.
Capt. Fleetwood is still one of the
most active pilots in service. He
