Annual Meeting of the Troop Held
In Its ArmOry Last Night.
The annual meeting of the Geor-
sia Hussars was held last night. The
report for the last year, submitted by
Capt. w. w. Gordon, Jr., showed that
the organization had prosperous year,
and that it is now in fine condition.
One of the matters of chief interest
in the report was a statement in re-
gard to the repairs and refurnishing
that were recently begun in the club
house. These, which are of a most
thorough and elaborate character, are
practically finished and will result, it is
anticipated, in making the club one of
the handsomest in the city, If not in
the South.
1t is intended that when the rooms
are finally turned over to the House
Committee to celebrate the occasion
with house warming of some sort,
but the date for this function has not
yet been settled. though the chief OBJ
stacle that now prevents the compile
ton of the work, is the lack of furni-
ture, only a part of that ordered hav-
the front parlor, and one that is much
admired and appreciated by the mem
bers of the organization, was recently
received from Mr.. Chas. w. Ladd. a
former member of the organization,
but of recent years a resident of the
North
Capt. Gordon's report showed that
the troop now has an active member
ship of forty-five, that during the year
thirtY-nine drills and parades were
held, and that the percentage of
craftsmanship of the troop increased
from 1857 in 1902, to AT in 1903. 1t
was announced that the new carbines
and new khaki suits for the troop
have been received.
The chief committees for the pres
ent year were announced as follows:
Executive Committee. G. Postell,
chairman S. e. Theus, G. B. Pritch-
ard, w. F. Train, Charles Ellis, w. A.
Tennile Jr., p. w. Meldrim, w. G.

Also.
Registration books for all elections
to be held in Chatham county during
the present year viii be opened at the
office Of Tax Collector Thomson Mon
day morning. In view of the impor-
lance of registering this year it is ex-
pected that there will be a rush as
soon as the books are open.
Unusual significance is attached to
qualifying for voting during the COM
ing year as every electoral office in
this county will depend thereon, as
well as the state and national voting.
The opening of the registration books
will be the signal for the development
of political factions, and the opposition
10 those now in office, if there is to be
any. In Chatham elections will be
held for all county offices, and though
the municipal election will not be held
until January, 1905, only registered
voters during this year will be entitled
to vote.
The county primaries will probably
be held in May, though no date has
yet been set by the County Democratic
Committee 1t is the custom, how
ever, to hold these primaries in this
month. At that primary all Court
House officers will be nominated, and
though no opposition has been sug-
gested to the return to Office of any of
the present incumbents. it is possible
that candidates will come from many
quarters, which is almost always the
case, whether much strength be de-
veloped among them or not.
The judge of the Superior Court will
also be elected by those voters who
qualify during the registration period
which commences Monday.
In the fall elections all State House
and national officers will be elected,
and in January, 1905 the municipal
election will be held, and in order to
vote in these elections, and nomina-
lions it will be necessary to register
before April.
Collector Thomson and his assistants
are busily engaged in issuing tax exc
cutions this week, but expect to nm
jsh the work before Saturday in order
10 have everything out of the way for
the rush of voters which will occur as
soon as the books are opened.
Political Clubs Organizing.
There may be or may not be any
significance in the organization of po-
litical clubs which is being done every
few nights. In all cases where pub
licity has been given to these organiza-
tons so far. they have been for the
benefit of the administration, and no
independents or opposing factions are
represented in any of the organlza-
lions
Candidates do not open their thun-
der kegs until the tender blades have
come from under cover and spring time
is at hand, and that season when all
things blossom is being awaited with
interest among the politicians as well
as the husbandryman.

Board of Education Approved An
nual Report of Supt. AshmOre.
AT a meeting of the Board of Edu-
cation, held last night at the Chat
ham Academy, the salaries of the
principals of all the grammar schools
were increased from 1880 to $1,000 a
year.
The following members of the board
were present: President George A.
Mercer, Capt. Henry Blum, Capt NJ.
A. O'Byrne, Judge ). B. Adams, Mr..
P. A. Stovan and Mr. r. ]. Davant.
Capt. J. r. f. Tattnall was reelected
treasurer of the board for the ensuing
year without opposition. President
Mercer reported that he had visited
the Thirty-eighth Street School during
the past month and found the school
in the best of condition.
Supt. Ashmore submitted his report
for the last year for the approval of
the board. He reported all the schools
in the best condition and submitted
figures to show that there were now
265 more students on the rolls than
for the corresponding period of last
year. After meeting all expenses for
the past year the report showed a bal
ance to the credit of the board of $3.50.
The superintendent reported that
twenty shares of stock held by the
Board of Education in the Southwest
ern Railroad Company had been dis
posed of to help pay for the Maple
Street Colored School, which was pur-
chased and equipped during the past
year at a total expenditure of about
$4,000.
Supt. Ashmore said that to deduct
the amount of last years appropria-
ton which was paid on the purchase
price of the Maple Street School and
not included in the budget estimate for
the year. that the Board had saved
within the neighborhood of $500 OF
the amount appropriated by the Coun-
ty Commissioners last year. The re-
port was approved by the board.
1--WE have exercised the greatest care
in all expenditures and our condition
is most gratifying" said Supt. Ashmore.
II do not believe that the expendl-
lures of any institution in the. country
are more zealously guarded than have
been the funds of the Board of Edu-
cation during the past year. We have
made a much better showing than we
expected"
The principals of all the schools sub
mitted their written reports to the
board, and these reports show that all
the teachers now employed are eff
cient and are giving faithful service.
In accordance with the rules of the
board an application from a citizen
of Effingham county, asking that he
be allowed to send his children to the
Savannah schools, was rejected and the
superintendent was ordered to inform
the petitioner that such action was
contrary to the rules of the Board of
Education. "a -
Supt. Ashmore reported that the
schools had resumed duties Jan. 4, with
a full attendance. He also informed
the board that Miss Dorsett, of the
high school, who has been i'll for some
time. has resumed her work.

in the life of Mother Agnes occurred

arrest of President jefferson Davis. At
lhdI Trying time, when the entire coun-
try was in confusion and none knew
what action would be taken against the
President of the Confederacy, and those

when the entire future was looming
most darkly before her, Mother Agnes
boldly went to her aid. Without the

by all the Catholic bodies of Savan-
nah. Definite announcement concern

BY the accidental discharge of his
own revolver, in the hands of another
party. Lieutenant of Police Walter
Fleming had a narrow escape at police
headquarters yesterday morning.
A bullet from Smith & Wesson

eight inches of his head, ploughed
through the front of a walnut desk
at which he was sitting, and buried it.
self in a drawer. Both the police otti-
Ger and the young man who was hand
ling the weapon were badly frightened.
Lieut.. Fleming was sitting with his
arm resting on the desk when the
young man picked up his revolver and
began an examination Of ii. The po-
lice officer had just taken the pistol
from his pocket and placed it on the
desk. He warned the visitor that the
revolver was loaded when he placed
his finger on the trigger and declared
that it was out of order.
a minute later there was an ex-
pIosion that was heard block away.
The bullet whizzed past the police
officers head and buried itself in the
desk. Lieut.. Fleming's escape was
narrow one and although he was
scared his nervousness was not cir
cumstance to the condition of the
young man who had been handling the
weapon.
A few weeks ago while sitting at the
same desk Lieut.. Fleming had mar
row escape by the accidental discharge
of the same weapon. Upon that oc-
casion the pistol fell from the officers
pocket to the floor and exploded. The
bullet at that time took a piece out of
the leg of the chair in which Lieut..
Fleming was sitting and he has almost
reached the point where he believes
that he bears a charmed life.
