DAY OF AT0NEMENT
WILL BEGIN AT SUNSET
One of Most Solemn and Impressive
of Hebrew Holy Days.

One of Most Solemn and Impressive
of Hebrew Holy Days.
At sunset tonight will begin one of
the most solemn and impressive in its
significance of all the Hebrew holy
days, the Day of Atonement.
Special services will be held in both
the Synagogue Mickva Israel and at
B'nai Birth Jacob. The services at
the former will be conducted by the
pastor, Rev. DIR. George Solomon. The
first service will be held at $50 o'clock
In the evening and a second service
at 10 O'Clock on Monday morning.
Similar services will be held at B. b.
Jacob
The Day of Atonement is one OF the
most solemn in it's significance of all
the special holy days. 1t is the day
set apart-the tenth day of the sew
enth month-on which the priest shall
make an atonement for you, to cleanse
you, that we may be clean from all
your sins before the Lord" So holy
was the day that under the old LEVITT
cal law it was stipulated This shall
be a statute forever unto you: that
in the seventh month, on the tenth
day of the month, We shall aff1ict your
souls, and do no work at all; whether
1T be one of your own country, or a
stranger that sojourneth among you"
Under the old observance, when the
Hebrews were wandering through the
wilderness on the Day of Atonement,
the high priest, after having washed
not only his hands and his feet. as
at common sacrifices, but his entire
body, dressed himself in plain linen,
like the other priests, and without
wearing his royal purple robe, the
ephod. or the pectoral, because he had
his own sins to expiate also, he, in
opening the solemn rites, first offered
a bullock and a ram for his own sins
and those of the priests.
Afterwards he received from the
princes of the people two goats for
sin Offering and a ram for a burnt
offering, to be offered in the name of
the whole nation. 1t was decided by
lot which of the two goats should be
sacrificed and which be set at liberty.
The goat which had escaped death by
sacrifice was then carried into the
desert and turned loose, or thrown
over some precipice, after the priest
had blessed it.
With the passing of the burnt offer
ings, of course these old symbolic rites
ceased also. To-day the day is OBJ
served with fasting and prayer and
the priest and the people unite in pray
ing for forgiveness of sins.

at a. m, he designated two COM
panles of the battalion as his rear
guard, in orders, and posted the bat
talon in the most exposed place on his
line of defense.
In his second march from the camp.
he designated, in order, the battalion
as advance guard of his brigade and
gave orders to open the engagement
on his lines. This we did by forming
line of Skirmishers behind a rail
fence, and moving forward across a
wheat field in conjunction with the
skirmish line of the First North Caro-
lima, in an adjoining field. The ad-
vance was made in the presence of a
notable gathering of umpires, observers
and foreign attaches, who had gathered
with Gen. Barry.
Gen. Thomasson, of Georgia, VINO
was in the group, stated afterwards
that the movement was beautifully
made and was favorably commented
on by the observers, particularly by
one of the commanding officers of the
Canadian militia
Almost the entire brigade was held
in support or reserve of the battalion,
which pushed on in skirmish line over
fences, through woods and fields, for
over mile and a half and finally
struck the Blues at Wellington, about
two miles from their camp, evidently
surprising than considerab bly,, as the
North Carolina company had engaged
them in a different direction. The re-
suits were the capture Of a number Of
prisoners, the shooting up a Blue COM
pany which tried to drive the Browns
out, and fired many times into troops
OF Blue cavalry in plain view. In
the midst Of it ALL two field pieces were
rushed up to the battalions' support
ana commenced to shell the enemy. UP
to this time we were in danger of cap
ture, as we We're well within the en-
emy's lines, but with the guns to back
us we felt secure.

though the men had already marched
nine miles since a. M, they trudged

miles, bringing up at Wellington again.
after helping Gen. Bell lick Gen. Grant,
and took the troop train for camp.
On the forced march by which Gen.
Barry saved the day for Gen. Bell
in the first battle problem. the com
posite battalion marched at the head
of the regimental column. Lieut.
Frank P. McIntire's work as battalion
adjutant, was excellent in every re-
spect. Lieut.. Griner, the battalion
Quartermaster, was confined to his tent
during a portion of the time in camp,
but performed all his duties faithfully.
DR.. Green, the surgeon of the battal-
ion detailed from Atlanta, was an in
valuable asset, but had little to do. He
reports that the battalion had only
two to be sent to the hospital, the
smallest number of any of the battal-
ions in the regiment. Sergt Maj
John E. Schwarz was not called upon
to hike much, but his good humor was
inspiring

Elaborate Decoration and New Pipe
Organ Installed.
The improvements which have been
under way for some time at the Syna-
gogue Mickva Israel, Rev. DR.. George
Solomon, pastor, have been completed.
Ever since the contracts were let, sew
eral months ago, work has progressed
steadily, and the temple now presents
a beautiful appearance.
Under the direction of the committee
which had the work in charge an
elaborate system of interior decora-
tons and frescoeing has been carried
out. The figures on the walls and
ceiling of the synagogue are so ar
ranged that they naturally form into
groups, and the groups unite to make
up the general scheme. In beauty and
i'm the elaborate scale on which the
work has been carried out the decora
tions Of the temple now equal that OF
any Of the religious edihces Of the
city.
While the frescoe and decorative
work has been going on. another force
OF workmen have been busy installing

larger than the old one and musicians
who have played upon II state that It's

was built especially for the Mickva
Israel congregation. II Is one OF the
largest and handsomest IN Savannah.

LOCAL FACTORS AGREE WITH
JORDAN IN ADVICE TO FARMERS
Believe That 1t Is Good Policy to Hold Cotton
if Possible
If Possible

Local cotton brokers and exporters
agree with President Harvie Jordan,
of the Cotton Growers Association of
the South, in his advice to the farmers
to hold their cotton.
In speaking of the advice offered
by Mr.. Jordan a leading F. o. B.
dealer said yesterday that he thought
his position was well taken, and that
if the planter could hold out it was
easy to see that the market would
advance.
Mr.. Frank r. Blakemore, special
representative of the brokerage firm of
Ware & Leland. Of New York. has
been in Savannah a few days after
a trip through Georgia, Alabama and
Mississippi, where he has been study
ing consumption as well as supply of
cotton. He says as a whole the crop
is in good condition. Damage is re-
ported, however, in some sections from
caterpillars and other causes. Crop
conditions are very uncertain now, he
says. If frosts are late he believes
there will be satisfactory yield.
MIR. Blakemore said that he found
many mills bare Of cotton, and all
We're eager for stock, and he believes
that all conditions point to better
