BUTCHERS WANT ABUSES
ABOUT MARKET CORRECTED.
Petition City Council to Enforce
Ordinance Defining Privileges.

Petition City Council to Enforce
Ordinance Defining Privileges.
A petition, signed by twenty-eight
butchers who do business in the City
Market, has been filed with the Clerk
of Council, praying that the city take
some action to protect their business
from the inroads made upon it by the
green erocers of the city.
The specific complaint is that the
provisions of the MacDonell code reg
ulating the business of hucksters is
violated and that Confederate veterans
who are granted free licenses, do not
run such business themselves, but
farm out the privileges to others.
They also complain that the country
men who come to the city with pro-
duce are not allowed to reach the
market, but are beset by middlemen
who buy up all their produce and then
resell it,
TO this end the petitioners ask that
the ordinance regulating the selling in
and about the market be enforced and
that green grocerymen having a Ii
cense to do business outside the mar
ket be required to keep the same hours
as the men at the market. Attached
to the petition is a table showing that
the receipts from the market have de-
creased steadily since 1882. 1t is said
that at least fifty-two green grocers
are doing business on licenses obtained
from Confederate veterans.

DR.. J0RDANS EXPERIENCE
IN A KENTUCKY VILLAGE.

Rev. DR.. j. d. Jordan, pastor of the
First Baptist Church. tells an inter-
esting story of an experience which he
had in a Kentucky village fourteen
years ago, when he was preparing for
the ministry. He was attending the
seminary at Louisville and would oc-
casionally be sent out to fill a country
pulpit. 1t was while he was on one
of these trips that he visited a village,
and was met at the station by the
proprietors of the two hotels in the viii
lsge.
The first hotel man to solicit the
young minister's patronage, said: "You
are a new man in this territory aren't
you? Well ] want you to stop with
me, / have the only first-class up-to-
date hotel for drummers' in this town.
and l will make the rates right" The
young preacher promised the hotel pro-
prietor that when he returned TO the
village he might stop with him. While
he was waiting for his stage the sec
ond hotel proprietor came up and in
troduced himself, and gave the preach
er a cordial invitation to stop at his
inn.
Before the young minister had time
TO explain to the hotel man that he
was not a travelling salesman, but a
minister of the gospel on his way to
fill the pulpit at a country church in
the mountains, the man shot about SIX
questions at him without giving him
time to put in a word edge-wise. He
wanted to know what house the new
drummer" Travelled for, where the
firms headquarters were located, what
line Of goods he was handling. when

MORE THAN HALF INCH
OF RAIN FELL.
Mercury Was Low and Reversed
Usual Conditions.

Mercury Was Low and Reversed
Usual Conditions.
Yesterday was one of the most dis
agreeable days that Savannah has ex-
perienced in some time. 1t rained al
most continuously, and this fact cou-
pied with a low temperature, made
being out of doors extremely uncom-
Portable and disagreeable. In all .6S
of an inch of rain fell, and though the
rain had ceased at 10 o'clock last
night, the skies We're still cloudy.
AS though the rain were not suf-
GENTLY disagreeable, mercury perform
ed some surprising feats. The maxi
mum temperature, which usually oc-
ours between 2 and o'clock in the
afternoon was recorded at 8 o'clock
in the morning, when mercury stood
at 40 degrees. 1t then began falling
steadily until the minimum, 49, de-
grees, was reached at the hour at
which the maximum is usually record
ed, 3 o'clock in the afternoon
Under ordinary conditions mercury
begins slowly falling after 4 o'clock in
the afternoon, but yesterday it rose
slightly and by 10 o'clock had crept
up to 81 degrees. This made SO de-
grees the average temperature for
the day, a deficiency of Is degrees.
During the night mercury is expected
to drop close to the freezing point and
to-day will probably be chilly.

WORKING FOR FUND TO
REPRODUCE SWITZERLAND"
Correspondence Between Gov. Terrell and Gen.
McGIashan Being Put in Circular Form.

NAL request from Gen. McGlashan,
Gov. Terrell brought the matter before
the commissioners, and the consent of
that body was quickly obtained. In
reply to the letter printed above the
following letter was sent to Gen. Nc
Glashan:
we have your esteemed favor of re-
cent date and have given it our most
careful consideration. In case the ad-
ditional fund to meet the increased
cost can be raised II will afford us
pleasure to grant this request. We
feel sure that it will appeal to every
citizen of the state of Georgia and all
our Southland. We are gratified to
have this opportunity of aiding in
building an everlasting memorial to
one who did so much to honor our
stata.
"Of course it will take a larger sum
to erect Sutherland" than it would
for Liberty Hall" However. we feel
that this matter being presented to the
different Camps Of Confederate Vet
Grams, Sons of Veterans, and Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy. that there is
not a member of these ORGANIZATIONS
nor a citizen in Georgia who would not
gladly contribute at least 81 towards
honoring the memory of Gen. Gordon
in this manner. We will request you
to issue a communication TO edcH one
of the camps on this subject"
The above letter is signed by Gov.
Terrell. Commissioner General Dudley
NJ. Hughes, and Commissioners o. B.
Stevens. Glascock Barrett and Hugh
V. Washington.
Gen. Evans Endorsement.
The project has been heartily in
dorsed by Gen. Clemant A. Evans,
formerly in command of the Georgia di-
vision of United Confederate Veterans,
but now in command of the Depart
ment of Tennessee. Accompanying
The note from Gen. McGlashan the
following Endorsement was sent by Gen.
Evans;
This movement to still further honor
the memory of Gen. Gordon will have
the full sympathy of every Confed-
crate, son Of Confederate, and Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy. 1 hope it
will succeed"
The three communications printed
above have been issued in circular
form and a copy will be sent to the
different camps of veterans, and to
private individuals throughout the
state Gen. McGlashan has already
called upon the camps to do what
they can for the movement and moth
ing will be left undone to erect
Sutherland"
