WATERFOWL JOTTINGS

The large attendance which wei comed the opening number of the pro- gram at the social dance last evening gives conclusive evidence that the dances given by the Athletic club are becoming more and more popular among followers of the light fantastic. Large delegations from Oakvflle, Wa terbury, Thomaston and Woodbury were present and each and every one who attended went away thoroughly satisfied with the cordial treatment extended to them by the members of the club. John Cams popular or chestra rendered the music in a high ly satisfactory manner, so much so that even the most exacting must ad- init that the selections were rendered in manner pleasing to all. Between twenty and thirty numbers comprised the program and each number re- cefved tremendous applause. Sort drinks were served in the refreshment room and on account of the extreme ly warm weather the clerks of this department were kept very busy. r'he last number on the program was fin ished at 2 a. m., after which those of the previously large crowd who had remained retired to their homes, to dream of the enjoyment they obtanaed at the most successful dance ever held by the Watertown Athletic club.
 Maurice Rowland, who for the past six weeks has been enjoying an outing along the coast of Maine, returned home yesterday.
 The dedication of the Woodbury chapel will take place tomorrow at 10:3O For this reason the masses at St Johns church will be held at z a. m. and 8:30 a. m.

Atlanta. Sept 12.-The Statesboro
court of inquiry is in session here. The
meeting to-day was held in the room
of the president, Col. w. e. Wooten,
at the Piedmont Hotel. The court is
busily engaged in preparing its report
which. it is said. will be made to
Gov. Terrell tomorrow afternoon.
After reading the report the Governor
will turn it over to the adjutant gen
eral with the request that he make
a recommendation as to the course to
be pursued.
Col. Wooten said to-day that the
court had reached a decision regarding
the action of the troops at Statesboro.

after it had been placed in the hands
of the Governor. Col. Wooten stated
that the court would go thoroughly in
to the evidence and would formulate
report that would cover every feature
of it,
While the matter is still in the hands
of the court of injury the general be-
lief was expressed at the Capitol to-
day that as a result of its investiga-
tions q court martial would be order
ed, and If such is the case there is no
doubt that the court will sit in Savan-
nah.
Gov Terrell is going to Rome Wed
nesday to attend the veterans reunion
and it is not thought any decision will
be reached by him until his return
ris will consider the report and write
his recommendation upon it, Should a
conrt-martfal be decided upon, 1t is
said it will probably investigate the
conduct of all the officers who were
stationed at Statesboro, with the ex-
ception of Lieut.. McTntire.
When questioned as to what action
he would take if the, court found there
has been a dereliction of duty, Gov.
Terrell stated that he would follow the
usual military course, meaning that
he would appoint court-ntartial.
The Governor stated that while he
had the power to act in the matter
himself and have any officers who
might have failed in their duty, under
go such punishment as might be pre-
scribed under military rules, such as
dismissal from office or reduction to
ranks, he would not do this, but would
appoint a court-martiali to try the men
inI the usual military fashion.

were given by the two Masons theni-

AMERICAN COMPANY TROUBLES
...s INTEREST LOCAL TRADE
Mr.. Gardner E. Dickinson Believes Round Bale
Has Come to Stay.

old-fashioned gins, IL was forced to go
a step further and buy the cotton out
right, just as it was picked. and gin
and sell It on its own account. The
fact that the great majority of the
trade refused to handle the bale pre-
scented another knotty problem that
the company sought to solve by estab-
fishing its own selling department, with
headquarters in New York, and the
placing of agents at many of the chief
points in Europe to interest the spin
ners on that side of the Atlantic.
Even this was not altogether sue
cessful in results for though some Of
the TRANSATLANTIC spinners have
been brought to use the round bale the
market has not been at all times large
enough to absorb the offerings of the
company, with the result that at times
a part of the receipts have been placed
on consignment, rather a risky thing
to do VITA an unsettled market, and
often an expensive one because of the
storage insurance and similar charges
Two of the advantages of the round
bale lay in the fact that because of
the density of compression and there
fore its approach TO immunity from fire
a cheaper insurance rate could be Sc
cured on ii and. because OF the small
Ter space required for ii in shipping, a
lower freight rate was secured IN ship
ping IL across the Atlantic, These adj
vantaees applying only TO exports the
company made the effort TO dispose of
ali OF It's cotton in this way IN order 10
reap the benefits of these advantages,
refused 10 sell to Southern spinnera
where their bale would have offered lit
tie IL any advantage over the square
bale and in this way antagonized the
Southern splnners.
The ease Of handling in shipping and
the better condition OF the cotton when
II reaches the spinner and the facility
with which the peculiar construction OF
the bale makes II lend itself to the first
part ot'the process OF manufacture 20.
before are all things that will eventu-
ally. in the opinion OF Mr.. Dickinson,
cause It's merits TO become recognized.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-09-13

Developments in the financial
troubles of the American Cotton Com
pany are being watched with interest
throughout the country, but probably
in no section with greater interest than
in Georgia, for one branch OF the COM
panys business was conducted in this
state and Savannah is one of the ports
where the product of the company's
gins was collected for export. This
last season amounted to 95,S52 bales,
counting as 1892 square bales. 1t is
stated that the company owns or con-
trolls nearly 200 cotton and ginning
plants. A number of these are located
in Georgia. The one nearest, Savannah
is probably that at Dublin.
one Of the reasons for the present
troubles Of the company as given in an
article dealing with the receivership
into which its affairs have been put,
says:
southern planters, spinners and ex-
porters have become accustomed to
the use of the square bale and the
prejudice against any innovation is set
down as one OF the reasons for the
collapse of the American Cotton Com
pany, as well as the fact that num-
Der OF the cotton interests are f1nan-
cially interested in the square bale. 1t
is reported that some of the Southern
railroads are also interested in the
square bale process. Persons In close
touch with the affairs OF the company
stated Yesterday that the receivership
may only prove to be for brief pc
rlod. II Is asserted that the placing Of
the property under the protection of
the court, which action was a friendly
one. will facilitate the proposed reor-
ganization plan OF the company. In
other words. the appointment OF re-
ceivers IL said TO be part OF the pro-
rraune in connection with reorganiz-
ing the finances of the company"
Mr.. Gardner e. Dickinson, OF this
city. who IL thoroughly familiar with
the history OF the company, believes
that the round bale has come TO stay
as Il has many merits that commend
n 70 both the trade and 10 the spin
ners. though In order 10 make tho
business a success he is or the opinion
that either the reorsanized company
or the successor 70 the present con-
Germ win have 70 conduct ste business

'JIGGERS" INVADING =
CITY OF SAVANNAH.
Have Even Attacked the sanctuln
of the U. 5. Marshal.

of the U. 5. Marshal.
In various parts of the city, espe-
cially in the business section, there is
woe and lamentation, and sudden grabs
and scratches at various parts of the
human anatomy. The trouble is the
festive little digger" travelling under
the scientific name of "chigre." He
has made his presence felt everywhere
he lights. .ensa
Many of the warehouses and some of
the business houses have been over
run with the little insects. He has
found his way into dignified law off,
ces, into newspaper sanctums; and
seems to take special delight in wend-
ing his path among empty dry goods
boxes and other places where tired
humanity is prone to rest. His prirci-
pal object In life seems to be to make
that rest impossible.
His audaoity reached its hight when
he made his appearance I'm the halls of
justice and calmly, unquestioningly,
took up his abode in the Office of the
United States marshal. At first there
seemed to be only one of him. Then
two appeared, then three, and then
gradually the NUMBER SWeileo until ne
cannot be counted. He asked per-
mission of no one; red tape and Of
fetal applications were abandoned; he
used no force to enter and he scorned
persuasion. He just came.
And now! In the quiet office Of the
marshal peonage is forgotten. shan
ghailng is relegated TO the rear; postal
frauds and false pension claims have
been abandoned; musty volumes OF
law have been hidden away and the
criminals go abroad in the land un-
checked. The one question that reigns
supreme I'm the minds Of the deputy
marshals is How shall we get rid of
the 'jgger?'
Thus far he has not gone across the
hall and tackled the clerks and the
sanctum of the commissioner Is still
inviolate. But how long It will last 10
a point that Is not yet settled. Advice
is pouring In on the officers, but no
effective method of Kidding the ONCE
of the pests has yet been hit upon. Al
present the sleuths Of Uncle Sam are
coaxing the jigger to one block OF
wood and then, while he rests unsus-
pectingly there, they hit him with
another block. This is effective as tar
