a view to examine more critically
final proofs offered. This is some
thing which did not originate in this
Office, the department at Washington
having taken it up of it's own motion.
We must follow out the course laid
down for us.
Must Notify Applicant.
when application for final proof
is sent in to us we are required to
write the applicant informing him that
the taking of proof before an officer
other than the local land Office may
cause delay, as the special agent
may wish to be present at the hearing,
special agent gives us dates when he
can visit the various United States
commissioners of this district, of
whom there are 10, and doing business
at points far removed from each other.
Said special agent has too much to
do and canont get around as often as
is desirable for the convenience of
all concerned. But we must set final
proofs to suit his plans. This will
explain why advertisements do not
appear promptly when we are ready to
order same.
1T is causing us not a little extra
work and annoyance, and l am aware
that it causes worry and much trou-
BILE to you and your clients, but l see
no remedy until more help is furnish
ed to the special agent.
Personally we have no desire to
force people to come to the local office
to make their proofs. That would on
ly increase our labors here. Those
wishing to make final proofs should
apply some little time before hand,
SO that proper arrangements can be
made. And I wish to say that those
who have complied with the law have
nothing to fear from the Investigations
Of the special agent, but a safely
proceed to make proof before you.
please accept this explanation and
inform your patrons of the true sit
uation."

May Deem Themselves Governors.
In the United States Court yesterday
Mr.. Walter G. Charlton asked that a
case in which he was counsel be post
poned until next week. Judge Speer
announced that he would set the case
for Wednesday.
Mr.. Charlton objected to this date,
claiming that he, with the other mem
beers of the commission, would go to
St GATHERINGS Island on that date.
He asked that the case be set for
either before or after Wednesday.
Judge Speer, in reply, said: well,
l will set the case for before that date.
1 fear that if it should not be assigned
until after the commission returns,
they might come back believing that
they were governors of the island"
The commission was appointed to
inspect the land on st. GATHERINGS Is

CITY HALL BIDS TO.
BE OPENED AGAIN.
Georgia or WinnsbOrO Granite Is
the Question Now.

the Question NOW.
Will Georgia or Winnsboro granite
be used in the construction Of the new
City Hall? This is the question that
is now under discussion with refer
ence to the new building.
Bids will be opened in the Mayors
Office at noon tomorrow. The bids
are to be opened publicly and the
contract will be awarded as soon as
possible. The specifications have been
cut down to only two possibilities, so
that deciding the matter this time VIII
be nothing like the task that it was
before.
There will be only three or four
bids on the building, 1t is thought,
so the matter may be easily deter
mined. In view of the recent trou-
BILE after the award of the contract to
S. S. Leonard, it is thought there will
be no deviation from the rules laid
down. The only parties who have so
far announced their intention of put
ting in bids are absolutely reliable.
and the contract will be let to the
lowest bidder.
Still. the award will not be alto
gether without incident. Though
there are only two specifications to
choose from, there will probably be
some trouble in deciding. Both speci-
fications are practically the same, ex-
cept one calls for Georgia granite up
to the top of the first floor on Bay
street, and the other calls for Wins
boro granite to that point.
When bids were opened the last
time, the aldermen decided they want
ed the Winnsboro granite. During the
last few days a strong sentiment in
favor of the Georgia granite has an
peared. There are others who still
favor the Winnsboro granite. On this
point the aldermen will probably have
some trouble agreeing. The decision
will depend in a measure on the
prices

NEW TURPENTINE PLANT
FOR SAVANNAH
Is Being Planned by Philadelphia
Men Now in This City.

Is Being Planned by Philadelphia
Men Now in This City.
Another plant to secure turpentine
from pine tree stumps may shortly be
started at Savannah, or in this neigh
borhood. Two gentlemen of Philadel-
phia are now in Savannah seeking a
site for such plant. They are Mr..
W.. B. Howard of the Howard Supply
Company, dealers in crossties, and Mr..
Il. V. ID. johnson, mechanical en-
glneer. There is also one Savannah
ian interested in the new industry.
The promoters of the plan claim that
they have a process for securing the
absolutely pure turpentine from the
stumps, and that they will not extract
nor will they bother with the other
by-products, such as creosote, rosin
oil, etc. They want the turpentine
only, and believe that their proposed
plant will give them a plenty of it,
and of quality that will command as
high a price as is paid for the very
best grade that is secured in the US
ual way. Should the first plant prove
the success that is anticipated others
will be erected at other points in this
state and Florida.

After the Expiration of the Time
That Was Given Him.
Having been released from the police
station only five or six days, Shorty"

police, returned yesterday and asked

Recorder, was given thirty days. He
was put to work around the yard and
buildings at police headquarters. Three

on Convicted Gambler.
In the Superior Court yesterday
Judge Cam imposed a sentence Of
$3.50 and costs or six months in Jail on
doc" Rosenthal, convicted of gaming
Col. Robert L. Colding, counsel for
the defendant, asked the court for a
light sentence for his client. who had
taken an affidavit never to gamble
again in Chatham county. The attida-
Wit was presented to the court just be-
fore sentence was pronounced.
In sentencing Rosenthal Judge Cam
called attention to the serious and
fatal result which followed gambling.
He stated that, in view of the fact
that Rosenthal was not armed on the
night in question, and in view of his
promise to reform, that he would i'm
pose light sentence. A fine of $3.50 was
then imposed. In case the fine is not
paid Rosenthal must serve six months
in the county Jail.
Col. ColdinC filed a motion for a
new trial with Clerk Carr. The
grounds brought forth are that the
verdict is in conflict with the law and
with the evidence Judge Cam set
the argument on the motion for April
2. 1t is not generally believed that
Rosenthal will again go to trial for
this offense.

Miller did not deny writing the
orders charged against him. He asserts
Miller & Co. is a firm and that his
brother, w. j. b. Miller is also a MEM
Der of the firm. This is the same
statement that he made in Jacksonville
more than two years ago, when arrest

Savannah firms for small orders. After
