SAVANNAH'S CLAIMS
AS CONVENTION CITY
Borne Out by Number of OrganiHa-
lions That Are TO Meet Here.

Borne Out by Number of organiza-
lions That Are TO Meet Here.
The choice of Savannah by the
Grand Council, Royal Arcanum, as the
place in which to hold its next annual
meeting is but another proof of this
city's advantages as n place of meet
ing for all organizations, because Of
the many and excellent facilities for
reaching it, and the many and varied
ways of entertaining such visitors after
they arrive.
Wherever these advantages are
known an invitation from this city has
only to be extended TO be accepted. In
the case of the Royal Arcanum this in
vitation was extended by Mr.. w. de-
Bruyn Hops, who was the delegate
from Savannah to the Grand Council.
Another Savannahian present was Mr..
r. II. OConnor, who was elected to
fill the high position of grand guide,
an honor the more marked as he was
the only officer promoted, the remain
ing members of the board retaining
their former positions.
Mr.. Hops, in discussing the coming
of the convention TO Savannah, said
yesterday that though the number of
visitors will be small in comparison
with the number to be brought by
other conventions, yet the personnel
of the officers and delegates, in fact of
the entire membership, is such that a
visit to Savannah by the convention
viii be of great benefit TO this city.
The convention will be held in the lat
ter part of April and will be attended
by probably eighty-five persons.
This consention is but one of many
that will meet in Savannah during
the coming summer and next year.
Within a few weeks now the Freight
Claim Agents Association will meet
here, the Elks will also gather in
force during the coming month, while
next spring the Southern Machinery
and Supply Men will hold their an
nual meeting here, through an invita-
ton extended by Mr.. George V. Denny,
and there is every likelihood that the
National Convention of the T. p. A.
will also be secured.
The invitation to the, last named body
was extended at it's convention of 1903
by Post A of the organization, and
supplemented by invitations from the
City Council, and the trade bodies,
particularly the Chamber Of Com
merce, which paid the expenses Of one
of it's members to Indianapolis for the
express purpose of setting forth Sa-
vannahs advantages, and it's desire
that the body meet here in 1905.
The invitation was so well received
that the convention practically pledged
itself to select Savannah. The prob
ability that 1t will do so has been
greatly strengthened recently by the
visit of President Donham to this city,
when he not only expressed his desire
to have the convention come here, but
promised his support in having it do
so. The T. p. AS are not relying only
on promises, however. for to-day they
will hold a meeting at which plans for
securing the convention will be dis
cussed and the first steps toward as
surfing it's coming here will be taken.

ASKED TO WITHDRAW
HIS RESIGNATION
Lieut.. c. G. Anderson, Jr., to he
Head of Republican Blues.

Lieut.. C. G. Anderson, Jr., to he
Head of Republican Blues.
Capt. Joseph NJ. Dreyer of the Re
publican Blues, who recently resigned
his place as the head of that organ
ization. was waited on yesterday by
a committee of the members of the
company and asked to withdraw his
resignation.
Capt. Dreyer explained that as his
action has been dictated by business
reasons, and as the conditions that
made it necessary still obtain, he would
be unable to comply with the wishes
of the committee.
AS was stated in the Morning News
at the time the resignation was given,
there is little question that First
Lieutenant C. G.. Anderson, Jr., will
be elected to succeed Capt. Dreyer and
that he, in turn, will be succeeded by
Second Lieutenant A. ID. Harden.
These gentlemen will probably be elect
ed Monday night.

NEW GRAND JURY LAW
HAS NO EFFECT HERE.
As Far as Setting Aside Any Cases
Is Concerned.

As Far as Setting Asiue any
Is Concerned.
Considerable interest was aroused by
the dispatch printed in yesterday
Morning News concerning the effect Oh
the new grand jury law on cases heard
in the Putnam County Court.
By the provision of the new law II IS
Illegal for a grand juryman TO serve
for two successive terms. Because TINS
provision was not lived up to in the
Putnam courts twenty cases were set
aside.
The members of the Chatham coun-
ty bar were generally interested in the
effect OF the law. especially as a num-
Der of important cases were pdsseu
upon by the grand jury now serving
Had the law not been lived up to, the
convictions would have been necessa-
rily set aside, as secured upon illegal
grounds Owing to the carefulness with
which Clerk ]. K. P. Carr has pre-
pared his lists. no such effect Oh the
law will be felt here.
THE grand Jurors now serving,
said Mr.. Carr. did not serve on the
grand jury of the previous term OF
court. Especial care is taken to pre-
vent such an occurrence.
Gan alphabetical list OF the grand
Jurors is kept in a book, especially tor
that purpose. AS each name is drawn
from the grand jury box, comparison IS
made with this list. If the juror
name on tha list is marked with nav
ing served on the previous list, the
name drawn is placed back in the box
and a new juror chosen. In this way
no juror can serve on two successive
grand iuries.
The new law applies also to petit
jury panels, and not to the grand jury
alone. The same precautions are taken
to prevent a case being thrown out OF
court through an Illegal petit jury as
are taken in regard to the grand jurors.
AS result, no cases heard in the Chat-
ham courts will be affected by the law.

NO CORNER STONE
CAN Be FOUND
IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER.
FOUNDATION OF CITY EXCHANGE
REMOVED, But NOTHING FOUND.

Yesterday Morning the Work of Dig
ging Down at Northeast Corner of
Old Exchange Was Started, and
Was Continued Until the Bottom
Was Reached-Ohicer Has Been
Watching Place for Three Weeks
and 1t Was Decided to Hurry Mat
ters Up.
The very bottom Of the northeast
corner of the foundation of the old City
Exchange has been dug up, yet no
corner stone has been found.
The foreman in charge of the work
does not now believe that a corner
stone will ever be found.
For almost three weeks a patrolman
has been detailed by order of Mayor
Myers to watch the old Exchange to
keep the corner stone from being
stolen.
The superintendent Of police thought
the search for the corner stone was
being drawn out entirely too long, and
yesterday morning he requested the Sa-
vannah Contracting Company to dig
hOWH at the GOI bGIs
the corner stone was supposed to be
located, so that the suspense of the
public and the officer might at once be
removed. This was done and all of
yesterday. laborers worked on this
corner.
No Trace of stone.
Later yesterday afternoon, the very
bottom of the foundation was reached,
but no corner stone was found. For
hours Patrolnfan Scully, who was de-
tailed to watch for the stone and see
that no one made way with it, stood
over the hole and watched the negroes
work.
Use about to get it now, boss" one
of the laborers would announce from
time to time.
yes, it's just under that next layer
of brick" Scully would reply. dig
away, boys"
And they would dig. Because of this
watchfulness on the part of the officer
and the urging of the foremen, the
laborers worked for dear life The bot
tom was reached, but no cornerstone.
Was There stone.
well, it's just as WELL" said the
darby, who had been working like
mad for hours. Il couldn't have got
any OIL mat money anyway. But II GER
tainly am disappointing to do all dat
digging and den find nothing. How
does you know dey am any corner
stone, any way, boss?"
Boss didn't know. And that has
been the trouble all along. According
to all the records there was a corner
stone and it was in the northeast cor
ner of the building Only a few feet
either way from the corner have been
dug out. The stone may not have been
in the exact corner and it may yet be
reached. Still, those who have been
watching for the stone for weeks now,
have about given up hope.
The search will still be kept up, I'M
til the very last of the foundations
have been removed.

HOW TO GET RICH.
Lesson 2. Chapter 2.


Yes, that old man once earned good
wages Cor received a handsome salary.
He was foreman for Mr. So and So Tor
cashier for Messrs. Whatyoucallem).
He is now getting dollar, and pays
half of what he earns for house rent.
He had a chance to be well-to-do. He
will tell you all about 1t if he has
chance between Jobs to do so. 1t is
the old story of what he could have
bought such a piece of land, or such a
lot for when he was young man, and
what it is worth now! But, and it is
but with a big, big B, he didn't buy.
He bought something else that he did
not need and which has long since
gone to the rubbish pile. or he kept a
horse and buggy, or he patronized that
great absorber of earnings, the sa-
loon. His old wife. if she hasn't al
ready died of hard work and disap-
pointed hopes, is doing the cooking,
the washing, and the scrubbing; and
the boys and girls--well, some of them
are doing well, but they don't help the
old father and mother, and are not
over affectionate. If the old folks had
a house and lot they would not only be
living a comparatively easy life, but
some of the boys and girls would be
staying at home, and helping with
board money with an eye to some
thing that may be left to them in the
'by and by" To-day there are men
doing Just as this old man did. and
their old age will be the same as his,
if they don't look out for the future.
A good savings bank is a lot, and a
better one is a house and lot Buy a
lot on Thirty-ninth street, east, or
elsewhere Paying the installments
will be an anchor to windward" for
old age.-ad.

COL. QUINN IN CHARGE
OF DIVISION ONE YEAR.
Succeeded Capt. Gillette One Year
Ago Yesterday.

AkO
Just one year ago yesterday Col
James B. Quinn, United States engin-
eering officer, took charge of the South
Atlantic division. extending from Will
mington, N. C.. to Key West, and the
Savannah District. He succeeded
Capt. Cassius E. Gillette. Yesterday
Col Quinn was receiving the congrat-
ulations of the friends he has made
during his stay in the city.
During the short time that he has
been in charge of this division and dis
trict, Col. Quinn has done much to pro-
mote the welfare of the division and
district. Extensive Improvements
have been made at Wilmington,
Charleston, Jacksonville, Cumberland
Sound, and along the inland rivers. The
Georgia rivers have been given espe-
cial attention and only the lack of an
appropriation from Congress prevented
further Improvements being made.
Locally much has been done. The
harbor has been deepened, through the
work of the dredge Cumberland and
other agencies to a uniform depth of
twenty-eight feet. A survey has been
made of the channel and the cost of
deepening to 30-feet at mean low wa
ter accurately estimated. Improve
ments have been made in the harbor
in many other ways.
Fort Screven has come in for its
share of improvements. An appropria-
ton has been secured for the erection
of six new buildings, including the
building and equipping of a gymna-
SUM. Arrangements have been made
for perfecting the service there and to-
ward leveling the mortar-pits, etc, for
the purpose of making possible more
accurate workmanship.
Only on Thursday were the plans
prepared by Col. Quinn for the cree
ton and equipment of two signal sta
lions costing $4,000 approved by the
special board sent out by the War De-
partment. This was fitting climax to
the years work. Col Quinn served as
president of the board.
Every aid possible has been extend
ed to the Chamber of Commerce and
other bodies having for their object
the betterment of Savannah, and
through the united efforts of such or
CARNATIONS, and Col Quinn, much has
been accomplished.

PACIFIC COASTS
GREAT PROSPERITY.
Former snvRnnahiRn, Vice Presi-
dent of Three Banks There.


Mr.. Frank B. Anderson, a former
Sayannahian, now vice president of the
Bank of California and the Mission
National Bank of San Francisco. and
vice president of the D. o. Mills &
Co. Bank of Sacramento, is in the
city visiting his mother, Mrs. George
w. Anderson, on Harris street.
Mr.. Anderson was formerly connect
ed with the American Exchange Ma
tional Bank of New York. He went
to California, and is greatly pleased
with the West. He said last night that
the Pacific coast is now in a prosper
Gus condition and that the outlook is
bright. he said. The seasons have
been as good as could be asked for, and
the people are looking forward to pros
perity and plenty.
Among the most prominent and pros
porous business and professional men
in the state of California, Mr.. Anderson
says, are Southern men. They
are in every walk of life and as a
rule are very successful. The great
majority, he says. went to California
just after the war.
MIR. Anderson left Savannah in 1882
and went to New York and accepted
position in the American Exchange
National Bank. His promotion was
rapid and when the directors of the
Bank of California were looking out for
the right man to assume the
important post of vice president of
that institution they settled on Mr.
Anderson, and he was persuaded to
leave New York and go to the Far
West.
When the Savannah delegation to
he I2apkars' AsQocjatiOp
went to San Francisco last fall they
were shown every courtesy by Mr.. An
derson and We're enabled to gain
better knowledge of conditions in Cal
ifornia than they could possibly have
obtained otherwise. Mr. Anderson is
being warmly greeted by his many
friends in Savannah.
