CAVALRY MAY NOT
GO TO MANASSAS.
Ordinary Cattle Cars, without
stalls, Have Arrived Here.


Stalls, Have Arrived Here.
The South Georgia Cavalry is having
a hard time in the matter of getting
its horses transported to Manassas, and
| may not make the trip.
In the first" said Capt. w. w.
Gordon. Jr.. last night, the govern
ment turned us down in the matter of
supplying horses. or paying for horse
hire. Consequently, each man will
have to pay from SO to $25 for horse
hire for the Manassas trip"
Early in June Capt. Gordon inter
viewed Col. S. r. Jones. chief quar-
termaster Of the Department of the
Gulf of the United States army at At
lanta, and in the presence of Capt.
Wilson, Capt. Gordon states. Col.
Jones promised that the volunteer cav
airy going to Manassas, would be fur
nished with palace stock cars. eighteen
horses TO the car. The railroads put in
requisition for these cars early in Au-
gust The cars have arrived and in
stead of being palace cars, they proved
to be ordinary cattle cars without stalls
Of any kind.
It has been asserted that there were
i'm the South to furnish the Southern
troops; and yet it seems that the horses
from Chickamauga will be carried to
Manassas in the Arms Palace stock
cars.
The palace cars designated for the
Savannah cavalry have been approved,
IT is said, by Col Jones. A number of
the horses of the Savannah contingent
are very valuable, and the men agreed
to go to Manassas only on condition
that palace cars he furnished. Capt.
Gordon has sent a telegram to Col.
Jones, protesting against carrying the
horses of the troops for such a long
distance in such inferior cars, and in
addition, has informed the Adjutant
General that unless proper cars are
furnished Troop A. will he unable to
attend the maneuvers at Manassas.
The army regulations authorize the
use of Pullman cars for officers, but
only emigrant cars will be furnished
for the Manassas trip. However this
is a minor consideration" said Capt.
Gordon. "as compared with the matter
of inferior cars for the horses"
The officials of the Seaboard Air Line
are making every effort to remedy this
serious condition of affairs. and are
preparing to build stalls at their own
expense; but they are practically help

"Wooten, Colonel.
The decision to ask to be relieved of
the trip to Manassas was made by
Col. Wooten with extreme reluctance.
He had taken much interest in getting
the regiment ready for the trip, and
had gotten them in splendid shape. The
regiment will land in fine fettle and

ELECTRIC LIGHT
POWER EXPLAINED.
Is Necessary to Get on Four Sides
of a Light to Get Full Power.

Is Necessary to Get on Four sides
of a Light to Get Full Power.
A 1000 candle power electric light
is not a 1900 candle power light at
all. but a 300 candle power light.
This, of course, is not very lucid to
the layTnan, but such is the statement
made by man who is in a position to
know. His explanation is simply this:
The lights are called just four times
what they really are, because they
throw the same candle power light in
each of four directions.
The increase in power in fixing the
name grew out of the fact that the
lights are usually hung at the inter
section of two streets and light is
thrown in the four directions in equal
proportions. Thus a 200 candle pow
er light throws 300 candle power in
each of four directions.
AS an alderman expressed it yes
terday, to get the entire candle power
you must walk all the way around
light.
The lights on Savannahs streets are
what are known and rated as 1,2OO
candle power lights. The contract
with the city calls for 500 candle pow
er lights. The whole question in re-
gard to the light situation now de-
ponds on whether the 500 in the con-
tract refers to four sides or one. If
only to one, then the lights furnished
the city are only half as great candle
power as the contract calls for. If
the 500 is used, as the electric COM
pany people use it, to refer to four
sides, then the city is getting about
twice as strong a light as is called for
in the contract.
There were no developments an
nOunced yesterday in the light situa-
tion, except the explanation offered as
to candle power.

DAMAGE SUITS FOLLOW
AUTOMOBILE COLLISION.
Man and Woman Seek to Recover
from Driver of Auto.


from Driver of Auto.
AS result of a collision between an
automobile and a cab on the day of
the automobile parade during the
meeting of the League of Georgia
Municipalities, two suits were entered
yesterday in the Superior Court by the
occupants of the cab.
In one case damages are asked to
the amount of $500. and in the other
$1,000 is asked. Twiggs & Oliver are
attorneys for the plaintiffs in both
cases. Mr. Charles Seller, who was
driving the machine, is the defendant
in each case. He is charged with run
ming the automobile at a high speed
and in a reckless manner.
Dorothy Parsons is the plaintiff in the
suit for the larger sum. The petition
states she was driving on Estill ave-
nue. with James Quinn, and that their
cab was on the right side of the road,
negro driving.
While driving along at a moderate
rate of speed, the petition alleges, the
automobile of Mr.. Seller ran into the
rear of the cab at a high speed. The
cab was overturned and thrown against
wire fence with such violence that
the post was broken. The horse was
so badly cut by the wires that the
animal was killed subsequently.
The woman suffered severe bruises,
it is alleged, her back being sprained,
abdomen injured, with cerebral pain
from the nervous shock. Other in
juries were also inflicted.
James F. Quinn, the other occupant
of the cab as a passenger. asks for
$1,000 damages. He was thrown from
the cab and his right shoulder struck
and bruised. A diamond valued at
$3.50 was torn from it's setting in a
ring and lost, the petition alleges, dur
ing the smash-up. 1t is charged, as
in the first petition, that the gross
negligence of the defendant was re-
sponsible for the collision.

SAVANNAH'S TAX RATE
AS LOW AS ANY,

The story sent out from Atlanta
showing that Savannah has the larg-

although the rate was not incorrectly
quoted
In Savannah a 10 per cent. discount
is allowed and payments are made
quarterly, instead Of all at once. as is
the case in other cities. In reality Sa-
vannah's rate is as low, or lower, than
the other Georgia cities, when the dis
count and quarterly payment plans are

md as Mayor of city Also.
Many of the bills passed yesterday
by Council had to be signed four times
by Alderman Dixon, this condition of
affairs growing out of the number of
different position Mr.. Dixon has been
filling during the absence from the city
of other officials.
AS Acting Mayor, it is necessary for
him to sign all of the bills once. AS
chairman of the Finance Committee.
he has to sign them again, and as
acting chairman of the Committee on
Accounts. Alderman Wright being out
of the city, he has to sign them II
third time. While Alderman DaVant
was out of the city, he was acting
chairman of the Streets and Lanes
Committee also, so the bills that were
made in that department during Capt.
Davants absence had to be signed four
times by Mr.. Dixon.
The schedule of bills for yesterdays
meeting was not very heavy one,
something over $4,000 being the total
amount but even with the light sched-
ule the Acting Mayor had to sign his
name several hundred times.
