same basis as gas or as water is done
in many communities where the meters
are used. This kind of a service is
said to be more satisfactory to the
company as we'll as the subscriber, for
many reasons.
In this case the subscriber often de-
sires to keep his count of the messages
to compare with that presented by the
company in its bill. In the accom-
panying cut there is shown a mechan-
ical device which is being placed on
the market as a means of dispensing
with the pencil and paper system of
keeping tabs on the messages which
have been transmitted over the instru-
ment. The device and the method of
its application are clearly shown in
the accompanying cut. The register is
locked when the receiver is taken from
the hook. so that it cannot be acct
dentally rung up while the connection
is made. When the call has been
completed and the receiver replaced
the lever of the register is pressed
down until the bell rings.
AT the end of the period for which
the bill is rendered the indicators of
the device may be turned back to the
starting point, if desired.

Boiling of Political Pot
BY "THE DISTURRER.n
OOOOOOOoOOOOOOoOOOOoO

Although the municipal election is
less than three weeks off-the date is
Jan. 10-little or no interest attaches
to it. This is invariably the case when
there is no opposition. But there is
a more potent reason-skirmisher are
out in what is to be a fight to the
death.
The various ward clubs are preparing
for the torch-light procession and fire.
works display that will mark the final
rally the night before the election.
Each club is anxious to Guido the 9TH
er, and the display promises to be On
a more elaborate scale than ever be-
fore.
But beyond the making of arrange
ments for this rally on the eve of an
uncontested election locally, there is
nothing doing in the political field. BY
locally is meant anything that directly
pertains to conditions in Savannah. OF
course there is intense interest in the
fight which has been begun by Hon
W. w. Osborne, and which promises.
before some faction or clique is ami
hilated, to put the entire state into a
turmoil.
Truth viii Come Out.
The battle promises to be long one,
and of great interest to the man up
the tree Il guess the fur is going to
fly before those fellows get through
with each other" was the observation
of Col. Alfred Harrington of Emanuel
county a day or two ago. and those
who are in a position to know say the
battle will be the fiercest that has been
waged on Georgias political field in a
long while. And the people are bound
to know the truth before the final pen
is dipped into ink.
The trouble that was started by Mr.
Osborne in his first letter has scarcely
begun. He says in his interview pub
lished this morning: ut must be UNI
derstood we are maneuvering for posi-
ton" Those who are close to Mr..
Osborne know the manner of fighter
he is. So do those he is opposing
interesting conflict, especially since
there is so much to be told that the
people of the state have heretofore
been able only to surmise.
Excitement Hardly Begun.
Although the papers throughout
the state are devoting a great deal OF
space to the discussion now on, no.
where is there more interest display
ed than in Savannah. This is one rea-
son why so little is being said just
at this time about Council committees

EAGLES GIFTS TO POOR.
Two Delivery Wagons Made Dis
tributiOns Throughout City.

tributiOns Throughout City.
One of the most bountiful distribu-
tions of Christmas baskets made to
the poor yesterday, was that of Sa-
vannah Aerie No. 800, Fraternal Order
of Eagles. The baskets were prepared
at the hall of the Aerie Friday night
by the committee, and early yesterday
morning two delivery wagons were
sent around the city to make the dis
tribution.
On each wagon was member of the
committee who visited personally every
party to whom a basket was given.
The object of this was to ascertain
the most needy people of the city, in
order that the order might help them
out from time to time in the future.
The names OF the people to whom
the baskets were given were furnished
the order by various ladies in the city,
who happened to know those in want.
About two hundred and fifty baskets
were given out and each basket con-
tanned enough fruits and provisions to
last a family several days. The dis
tribution did not end until late in the
afternoon.
The committee in charge was COM
posed OF the following: Messrs. George
G. Schwarz, chairman; T. O. Mcbride,
Joseph $. Walker, L. A. Massart, G..
Bailey, Charles Toussaint, A. j. Leh-

Entire Force Was On Duty, But Of
tenders Were Few and Far be-
tween-Big Ford Auto Was in
Commission, But Was Not Needed.
Flying Squadron Was AppIauded
as it Cantered Down BroughtOn
Street-TorpedO Sticks Were Used
to Make tho Noise.
Christmas eve was never so quiet
with the police as last night was UP
to midnight, although the entire force
was on duty dragging the net through
every street and alley in search of
offenders.
In anticipation of one of the busiest
holiday tours of duty in years the
police made every provision for
property looking after the in
terests of property-holders and the
safety of all citizens.
Up to a late hour there were no
more than the usual Saturday night
arrests for drunk and disorderly cases.
There were two arrests for firing pis-
tolls on the streets. but both were
turned loose with a warning not to re-
peat the offense.
Flying Squadron AppIauded.
At O'Clock the flying squadron, com
posed of ten mounted patrolmen, in
Guiding Sergt. Murphy, cantered down
Broughton street en- route to Yama-
craW. The holiday crowd applauded.
Although the squadron found it nee
essary to make only one arrest last
Christmas, the good effects of intimi-
dating prospective evil-doers more than
repaid the efforts made to have the
YamacraW district properly patroled.
AT l O'Clock yesterday afternoon the
second day relief was sent out on duty.
and at o'clock last night the night
relief was added to the day relief, and
all the men remained on duty until /
o'clock this morning.
Forty-three patrolmen were on duty
on Broughton street. They were I'M
der the charge of Sergts. Davis and
Woods. To these men special orders
were issued to prevent the firing Of
fireworks, and only the torpedo sticks
We're permitted to be used in celebrat-
ing.
The principal work of the patrolmen
on duty on Broughton was in break
ing up the gatherings of young men
with the torpedo sticks so that shop
pers could pass up and down the
street. The crowd was, in most in
stances, good natured
After 10 o'clock the patrol wagon
was kept busy answering calls to carry
DRINKS and disorderlies. All prisoners
under this charge who were known
were permitted to go on their own
recognizance, to appear at Police
Court Monday morning.
To-day the same hours will be OBJ
served by the force, and also to-mor-
row. 1t is anticipated that things
will be considerably livelier in police
circles to-day.
The big 1905 Ford automobile, fur
nished to the police department by
the Electric Supply Company for use
in emergency cases, was kept in the
sallyport all night, ready to respond
with the plain clothes officers at q
moments notice. Mr.. Ormonde was in
charge of the machine.
