They All Do 1t.

Said the grocer man to the butcher
man, it is sin that you buy your salt
on the wholesale plan and don't let
me handle any of the tin. He then
hied him back to the grocery store
and quickly an order was sent for a
few choice hams for the family use
and box of fish for lent. Said the
clothing man to the hardware man,
you certainly don't do right when you
order your suit of an eastern house
with my stock in stock. But the
clothier wanted new steel range,
and it came, as the neighbors know,
in box he tried to hide in the barn
marked Sears, Roebuck & Co. The
business men then called a meeting
to see where the trouble lay, and
agreed twas the editor man and not
the devil to pay. Why don't he roast
the department stores and peddling
fakirs they said, and stand by those
that patronize him and give him his
daily bread. So they drew up con-
tract loud and strong for the editor
to peruse, and waited on him with
aspect grim as he solemnly dug for
news. But the editor laughed with
big horse laugh till the gang all
took to the woods. The contract was
written on axle grease letter heads
that had come with bill of goods.

Lockjaw or Tetanus.

Let us trust that the glorious
Fourth of July will leave in its trail
no cases of lockjaw or tetanus. This
dread disease frequently follows
wounds caused by the toy pistols and
cannon crackers. According to high
medical authority, every case that
develops in five days is certain death.
Ninety-fye per cent of the cases de-
veloping in nine days will be fatal,
and of the cases taking longer than
nine days to develop, 60 per cent will
prove fatal.
The first symptom of the disease is
the beginning of the death agony,
and it is the most horrible death
known to medical men. The mere
closing of a door will send the patient
into the most awful commissions and
ray Of light will have the same eff
feet. NoDase of hydrophobia is worse
and it is always more virulent in chill
dren than in grown persons. There
were over AGO cases of tetanus, nearly
all children, in the United States last
year, and these cases were due to the
use of explosives.
Tetanus. or lockjaw, is due to a
micro-organism, shaped like rod.
This bacillus exists practically every
where, and is practically prevalent in
| Pennsylvania. 1t is most active in
warm weather, though it is not affect
ed by the cold, and even boiling will
not kill it. Carbolic acid or mercury
do not affect it for hours, and the
bacilli will live ten years on splinter
of wood, The only place in which it
will not flourish is in the open air.
The facSthat air is not good place
for the development of the bacilli is
what makes the germ particularly
harmful in wounds caused by blank
cartridge or cannon cracker. Such
wounds usually are made in the palm
of a hand which is grimy, and the

road is having built at the Pullman
shops at Chicago, an observation car
which will be installed in about a
month, and be run in connection with

CELEBRATED!
You Bet We Did. A Good Time
Had by Everybody all Day.
The Kids Had the Time of Their
Lives. Parents Also Pleased,

Ely did celebrate, but the festivities
| were arranged for the benefit Of the
children and the little ones were
happy all day. Their pleased man.
ners and smiling faces were conveyed
| to the older ones and in consequence
all were happy.
When it was ascertained that the
grouchy ones failed to respond
| to a celebration by which they
would be benefitted,a few of the enter
prising citizens decided to raise few
dollars and give the children day.
1t only took few hours to do this
with the understan ing that it was
to be all for the "Kls." Some 5000
were subscribed in a short time. A
band was engaged and the festivities
began.
The Star Spangled Banner played
by the band at daylight was the sig
nal for hosting the flags and the
beginning of the cannonading.
There was no sleeping after this and
soon the streets were filled with
people bent ON having good time.
| From this time on until late at night
it was the same and it is safe to
assume there were lot of tired little
heads in Ely that night. The COM
mittee had changed the cash all into
small money for the various sports
and the program was strictly arranged
for the little ones. Race upon race
followed all day until eight O'Clock
and every child running the course re-
ceived its share. Twenty and more
went the course at each time, graded
as to ages and size and each and all
| received prize as soon as they passed
| the tape. AS fast as as one "bunch"
was off another was lined up all day.
The 600children had most glorious
time and their parents were cores
pondingly happy.
After the cash was exhausted and
just before retiring, the little ones
went together and sang patriotic airs,
a most fitting wind-up. Visitors
from outside the city who were pre-
sent, said it was the first time in
their memory where so much real en-
joyment was manifest at celebration
where the customary parades,
speeches, and mems sports were not
at hand and complimented the people
and the committee on the complete
ness of the affair. Not an accident
happened all day to mar the occasion
Notwithstanding the fact that all the
sports took place on the principal
streets where teams and rigs were so
thick that it was somewhat ola puzzle
to pass. The squaws also came in for
a share Of the sports and several races
were arranged for their benefit. AL
together the celebration was a
"beaut" and Grant McMahan, John
Glode, M. E. Gleason and Thos Jury
who acted as committee and those
who furnished the money deserve
much credit.
At Fall Lake the best of sport
and fun prevailed all day. The
lengthy program was warmly contest
ed and the best of feeling was mani.

!, busy between here and there all day
The celebration wound up with g

The Tower celebration also caught

most enjoyable time. The celebra
tion passed off without a hitch.

Work at Fort Screven Quarters VIII
BE Commenced Within short Time.
Capt. Davidson of the United States
Army Quartermaster Department is in
the city and registered at the De Soto
Capt. Davidson came to Savannah for
the purpose of experimenting the
work of erecting the six new buildings
at Fort Screven, an account of which
has been previously given in the
Morning News.
A visit was paid yesterday to Fort
Screven and the ground was carefully
looked over, and the plans gone over
with the fort quartermaster. Capt
Davidson has not yet selected an office
but will do so as soon as he receives
his orders from the quartermaster
general at Washington.
He will be in Savannah for at least
eighteen months experimenting the
work, and it is probable that before
the present work is completed, that
Congress will have authorized the
erection of the additional buildings
and the making of the changes which
are so earnestly desired.
Capt Davidson is a skilled officer and
has served in different parts of the
country with efficiency and distinction.
He has only recently returned from
the Philippine Islands, where he was
in charge of work there going on un-
der the quartermasters department.
The selection of Capt. Davidson as the
officer to take charge of Fort Screven' 5
new buildings insures that they will
be erected in the most modern and ap-
proved manner.

MARINE RECRUITING
OFFICE HAS RE0PENED

Recruits VIII BE Sent to Charleston
Navy Yard Instead of Port Royal.
The marine corps recruiting office
has reopened in the Custom House
building. The Office is in charge of
Sergt. William Montair and Private F.
A. Warner.
Both marines were busy yesterday
arranging their office and attending to
some of the applicants who appeared
and were DESTROYS of gaining further
information regarding the service. In
speaking Of the marine corps service,
Sergt. Montair said:
We have opened again and believe
that we shall be even more successful
in gaining recruits than we were be-
fore. There have been some changes
since the former office was closed. Ow-
ing to the appearance of diphtheria at
the Port Royal station. all recruits
Will henceforth be sent to the Charles
ton yards. The most courteous and
hospitable treatment is accorded the
marines by the people of that city and
officers in charge of the station are do
ing all in their power to make the life
enjoyable for the recruits.
THE marine service offers greater
opportunities, perhaps, to the untrain-
ed citizen than any other branch of
the military of the country. The law
provides for the promotion of worthy
nom commissioned officers to second
lieutenants, thus offering chance of ad-
Vancement.
THE term of enlistment is for four
years, three of which are supposed to
be served on board 'sea-going' ships
of war, or in Porto Rico, Manila, or
Guam. Opportunities are thus given
to visit all parts Of the world, and this
in itself, is a liberal education. The
chance for being stationed in the Far
East is very good. as there are con-
slant calls for men in the Philippines,
and the corps there are being con-
stantly changed. The fourth year of
the enlistment term is served in bar
racks at different stations in the United
States.
1.-The pay is from $13 to $43 per
month, according to rank and length
of service. The class of men who are
entering the marine corps represents
the best families III the country We
are instructed to take only men of good
standing in their respective communi-
ties, and unless applicants can furnish
references they will be rejected.

which offers equal opportunities to

day charged with desertion from the

had been in the army for several years
and was stationed at Fort Screven on
Tybee Island. but left, it is claimed
before his time was out. 1t is thought
now that the two officers who spent
some time here just before Christmas
for the purpose of enlisting new re-
cruits, were here not so much for re-
cruits as for locating deserters, and II
is believed that through their informa
tion Sheriff HENDRIX was ordered 10
