OVER HALF A MILLION
IN BANK CLEARlNGS.
Was Increase of Last Week over
same Period Last Year.

same Period Last Year.
That the fine increase OF business
that has marked trade in Savannah
this season continues is shown by the
bank clearings from week to week
which for the last two months have
been, with very few exceptions. very
much larger than those OF the corre-
spending periods last year.
For the week ending yesterday these
clearings were $2,939. 364.39. as against
S2,262, l5l.l7 for the same period last
year, or gain OF 77.213.22.
With the early opening of the cot
ton season and the continued heavy
business in naval stores and lumber
there Is every reason TO believe that
the volume Of business transacted
through the banks will not only con-
tinue but show even a still further
Increase.

CHINAMAN FINALLY

Man with a Thousand Names Out

Yesterday morning a brandly-smil-

lestial walked out of Chatham county
jail, where he has been resting for
the past three months. He was Lon

of many troubles for he is needed
mere for perjury and in Jacksonville
deportation.
The fight to get the Chink out of
custody has been a hard one. When
he last drifted into Savannah, under
the custody of a United States marshal,
ne was ordered deported. Accordingly
he could not give bond. Therefore
when he was held to the federal grand
jury by Commissioner Hewlett on the
perjury charge he could not give bond.
lie was locked up while his attorneys
began their fight to get him in such d
position that bond could be given
The first step was to get rid of that
deportation order. An appeal was TAX

This was allowed and the way was
open to secure bond, pending the final
adjudication of the case. Then there
was trouble getting bondsmen, but at
last all these little details were at
tended to and bond in the sum of $500
was furnished.
Lon Chang, or whoever he is. was
a1ectionately greeted by his country
men when he stepped out of the bastile.
Ihere was wild jumbling of sounds
and gestures and a copious display of
'chat-chis, "-Chink for "certeffcates''
and then all adjourned to the nearest
laundry to talk it over. 1t is probable
that Lon was roundly lectured by his
countrymen for getting mixed UP in
his surnames, and it is very doubtful

be able to straighten out that woeful
tangle.

WORK OF YOUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN
ASSOCIATION AT UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

tivities of 220 men, and the work has
grown to such an extent that the as
sociation now employs a general sec
rotary and an assistant to organize
and direct his forces.
The association house, attractive in
its neatly furnished parlors., is thrown
TO the use of men at all times. Here
wholesome literature, in the shape of a
good library, the best magazines. and
of daily papers. is always avail
able. During the opening days of last
year 400 men called at the house and
received assistance in some way or
another. The influence of this college
home does not cease. however, with the
opening days for it becomes the reA-
devious of a large number of students
who find the greater part of their So
cial life in the functions provided by
the association.
The employment bureau is another
very helpful feature. Last year 40
men received work directly or immedi-
ately through its assistance. \ num-
Der of these men could not otherwise
have remained at the university. and
hence the association enabled them to
secure a college education.
The work for men is duplicated by
the activities of the Young Women S
Christian association in the interests of
women students. This. too. is one of
the strongest organizations of its kind
in the country. Through its commit
tee force of 200. ably organized by an
efficient general secretary. the mem
bership has increased TO $40 while the
bible study department has enrolled
ISL young women. and the weekly
prayer meetings have had an average
attendance of SIS. The employment
bureau of this organization has assist
ed 90 girls to carry on their studies in
the university.
With this glimpse into the working OF
such organizations, which are only typ
zeal of similar organizations through
ont the country. il is plain TO he seen
that there is less ground for the state
ment so often heard. that there is lit
tie or no religious influence in our
state universities. A prominent pro-
fessor at the University of Illinois has
summed up the situation in these
words: There is no more potent in
fuence by law and order, not except.
ing the faculty itself, than the infiu-
ence of the Christian associations"
