TO SEND MEMORIAL TO
MAYOR AND ALDERMEN
Regarding Cleaning of Monument to
Confederate Soldiers.

Regarding Cleaning of Monument to
Confederate Soldiers.
At the meeting of the Confederate
Veterans Association last night it was
unanimously voted that a memorial
should be prepared and sent to the
Mayor and Aldermen of Savannah,
asking them to aid in the cleaning of
the monuments at different places in
the city, erected in memory Of Con-
federate heroes. The veterans will act
in conjunction with the Daughters of
the Confederacy who have already
taken steps.
At a recent meeting of the camp
Capt. Dillon was instructed to present
the matter to the city officials, and ask
them to- have the monuments cleaned.
Particular attention was directed to
those in Chippewa Square to Gems.
LAFAYETTE McLaws and Francis S.
Barlow. Children have written on the
monuments, and they are otherwise
dis1gure6 The monument to the Con-
federate dead, which stands in the
Park Extension, is also in need Of
cleaning.
Capt. Dillon reported that he had
seen Mayor Myers and that he had
referred him to Chairman Daffin of
the HdTk anu Tree SOliilIllSSlOll. NIL
Daffin informed him that he could do
nothing in the matter as the money in
his budget would not justify the nee
essary expenditure, those who do such
work asking S340 for the service. I'm
less he should be authorized to take up
the work by Council. Chairman Dattin
felt that he could not do so.
A determined effort will be made to
have the monuments cleaned at once.
1t was the sentiment at the meeting
last night that these monuments are
in such condition that they are dis
grace to the city. AS points of inter-
est to visitors, it was argued they
should be kept in good condition, and
not allowed to become covered with the
scribbling and the drawings of school
children.
Besides this business only routine
matters were carried out. Several
communication from various societies
and from other camps were read and
received as information. Capt. Dillon,
Capt. Thomas Screven and Comrade c.
Barnwell were appointed committee
to draft resolutions on the death of
Comrade John Reilly.

THE MAN AND THE SOIL
CITY LIFE COMPARED.

TT is a fact that our cities are being
over crowded with young men
Il coming from the country to earn
their livelihood in the cities. Our
cities are growing so rapidly that only
about one half of our population is
now living in the country. 1t is great
crime, says DR.. R. V. Pierce, speaking
Of the wrong of shutting men and
women up in factories and forcing them
into occupations which keep them in
doors at all times. There is plenty of
land and opportunity in the country,
and a better chance for making money
for the ordinary brain and body, sufi-
cient to give every human being liveli-
hood and longer life. The farm yields
an income greater than almost any other
industrial enterprise, being about az %
on invested capital and the income of
the average farms in the West for 1903
was about 80 per cent. greater than pre-
vious years. For years our people have
been wandering away from nature. The
time has now come when people in the
cities are looking with longing eyes to a
life in the country. The suburbs and
rural districts about our great cities are
fast filling up, trolley lines, the bicycle
and automobile are helping in this. Peo-
pie are learning that the fresh air, sun
shine and exercise is what sustains life
and makes it wholesome and adds years
to our existence. There is also tonic
value in cold air or heat is enervating.
The city man who works indoors in
a sitting atmosphere, filled with the
germs of consumption and many other
diseases, or who is compelled to ride in
badly ventilated street cars, filled with
the germs of pneumonia, grip, typhoid,
who eats lunchs at race-horse speed, is
not as happy as rule as man living
closer to nature in the country, in the
fresh air, and a chance to be close to
nature in the woods and fields. At the
same time, the farmer wears out, spite
of exercise and fresh air. One days
work on the farm would tire many a
trained athlete. Why does not the far
mer treat his own body as he treats the
land he cultivates2 He puts back in
phosphate what he takes out in crops, or
the land would grow poor. The farmer
should put back into his body the vital
elements exhausted by labor. If he does
not, he will soon complain of "poor
health" The great value of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is in its vital
izing power. 1t gives strength to the
stomach, life to the lungs, purity to the
blood. 1t supplies Nature with the
substances that build up the crops.
Sweet butter cannot be made in sour
churn. The stomach is a churn. A
foul stomach fouls the food put into it.
When the food is foul the blood made

STREET FIGHT
DREW BIG CROWD
RESULTED IN TWO ARRESTS.
DRUNKEN MEN TRIED TO DRIVE
OFF IN ANOTHER's BUGGY.

r. e. Merchant and John RahilIy
Took Buggy Belonging to A. Cor
don CasseIs and Fought Owner
when He stopped Them-Several
Hundred People Gathered in
NeighbOrhOOd-Two of Mr.. CasseIs'
Clerks Went to His Assistance
and Fought Men Until Arrival or
Police.
Charged with disorderly conduct, be-
ing drunk, attempting to drive off in
q buggy belonging to another, and then
assaulting the owner, when he appear
ed on the scene. r. E. Merchant and
John Rahilly, two young white men
who have before figured in Police Court
cases. were yesterday afternoon ar
rested and carried to police headquar-
tiers.
The affair, which resulted in their
arrest, took place just in front of the
store of A. Gordon Cassels, at Barnard
street and Bay lane. The mixup which
followed the buggy episode was i've
" one, and several hundred people
gathered about the place.
It was with difficulty that Patrolman
B. S. Bryant made his way through
the crowd and took charge of the men.
Patrolman Clancy was also rushed to
the scene from police headquarters, sew
eral telephone messages acquainting
the desk sergeant with the fact that
there was trouble and officers were
needed.
The two men got into Mr.. Cassels'
buggy, which he had left standing in
front of his store, and then took in a
boy to drive for them. The youngster
nlayed a minor part in the affair, how
ever, merely driving off at the mems
direction. When the trouble was pre-
cipitated the small boy very sensibly
got out of the way.
As the buggy was started, some one
on the street, who had been watching
the men, called Mr.. Cassels. He ran
out of his store and told the men to
stop They stopped, but, 1t is alleged,
began to curse Mr.. Cassels, and then
assaulted him. A lively fight ensued.
Mr. Cassels' bookkeeper and cashier
ran out of the store and took charge
of one of the men, while Mr.. Cassels
handled the other alone. Both men
were held until an officer arrived.
Mr.. Cassels got his man down on the
pavement and gave him several stiff
punches His right hand was badly
bruised, where the pavement had been
hit several times instead of the man.
Upon the arrival of Patrolman Bry-
ant, Merchant kept quiet and agreed
TO go without trouble, but Rahilly
is alleged to have cursed the officer
and was rather hard to handle. The
men were confined at the station
house until last night, when they were
released on bond. They will appear in
Police Court this morning. Mr.. Cas-
sells said at police headquarters that
4 he did not care to make ii hard for
the men.
