of the center trio and backs. showing them
how an opposing team would break into

at quarterback for awhile and snapped the
ball In splendid form, executing his plays
with hghtning-like speed. The squad lined
up for two fifteen-minute halves, but the
work was marked by ragged playing. ALI
the varsity men were In their regular p0-

team work was sadly lacking. but this Is

Jacksonville Man Sees Judge Twiggs
But is Turned Down.


w. B. Myers, the Jacksonville ma
val stores man, made good his threat
Wednesday by visiting Savannah to
see what Judge H. D. D. Twlggs
meant by stating that Myers had told
him that he had witnessed the shoot
ing of Caesar Young in New York.
Myers appeared at Judge Twiggs'
office with an attorney and demanded
q retraction. This he failed to get.
1t will be recalled that Judge Twigss
said that Myers had told him ne mad
witnessed the shooting, and that Gao
sar Young had killed himself, and Nan
Patterson was innocent of the charge
of murder. Judge Twiggs informed
District Attorney Jeromes office, but
he had to take it back Immediately,
as Mr.. Myers asserted he had never
made such a statement.
Myers and his attorney now threat
en- legal proceedings against Judge
Twiggs, as Myers veracity is declo'
edly \ in question. Jack ShiVers
and Alderman Frank Oliver OF
Savannah have made afidavits bear
ing out Judge Twiggs' statement.

WANTS WEEKLY REPORTS.
Senator Bacon Of Georgia Making q
Fight in Upper House for More
Reliable Cotton Statistics.

A washington special says: South.
ern senators will make strong effor.
to secure greater frequency in depart.
ment of agriculture estimates upon
the cotton crop.
Senator Bacon Of Georgia Thursday
afternoon presented in the senate, and
gave notice that at the proper Lllne
be would move their adoption, two
amendments to the pending agricultu-
raj appropriation bill calling for week
ly reports and semi-monthly summary
reports instead of the monthly reports
now furnished by the department.
At the cotton planters convention at
New Orleans one Of the principal crit
icisms If not the chief one Of the es-
Inmates furnished by the bureau OF sta
tistics Of the agricultural department
was that coming as these do at inter
walls Of a month they operate to dis
turb the market to the detrlment Of
the cotton planters.
When the agricultural appropriation
bill was before the house, Representa-
tive Livingston of Georgia sought to
secure the adoption Of an amendment
looking to reports every two weeks
instead Of monthly, but this amend
ment was voted down.
Senator Bacon has taken up the
fight in the senate and has introduced
two amendments. The first OF these
provides that in the case Of the cotton
crop reports shall be issued on the
Sd, 10th, 18th and 25th of each month,
instead of On the Sd only, as is no"
done. The second amendment pro-
vides "that in the case Of the cotton
crop the secretary of agriculture shall
issue at least semi-monthiJ summary
report Of the information received by
the department upon which the de-
partment shall make the estimate OF
the condition OF the CROP"
This latter refers not only to con-
ditions during the growing season, Dut
the picking season as well, the word
conditions" being used in the amend
ment because it Is used throughout
that portion of the bill relating to the
work of the statistical bureau. While
it is claimed by the department off,
cials that it would be difficult If not
impossible to get reports from their
volunteer agents and representatives
throughout the cotton states more frs'
quently than once month. Senator
Bacon says he sees no good reason
why this cannot be done and ne will
strongly press for the adoption OF the
plan outlined by his amendments

JORDAN ISSUES A CALL.
President of Cotton Growers Associa.
tion Asks Farmers to Assemble in
Force on Dates Specified.

President Harvie Jordan Of the
Southern Cotton Association, has is
sued a cali to TIE cotton planters OF
the south, urging them to organize &c
carry out the will OF tae great New
Orleans cotton convention.
The people OF the cotton-growing
states are aroused to the imperative
necessity TO do something" says he,
and he urges that in accordance with
the plan or organization adopted at
New Orleans the people assemble in
their respective voting precincts, beat
Or militia districts on February the
18th at o'clock, eject precinct
chairman and appoint a committee Of
three on cotton acreage; this COM
mittee to Immediately request the sig
nature of every cotton grower in that
precinct to a pledge to reduce MS
acreage 25 per cent. The farmers will
further at this gathering on the 11th
elect three representatives to county
convention to be held at each county
seat on Thursday, February 18th,

After reviewing the situation and
telling of the work accomplished al
New Orleans and calling for the gath
erings as announced, President Jordan

tion adopted and urges that the farm
ers stand together as one man. From
his call it IS evident thar the Southern

The Subject of an ExpIana-
ton by General Miles.
HE DID NOT SURRENDER
After Lapse Of Forty Years, Northern
Commander Throws Light on Cap
ture and Imprisonment of Pres
ident Of the Confederacy.

A Boston special says: For the first
time in forty years Lieutenant Gene
raj Nelson A. Miles, now acting in
spector general on the staff of Cover
nor Douglas, has broken silence on
the circumstances surrounding the i'm
prisonment in irons Of President JEFF
ferson Davis Of the Confederate
states.
Jefferson Davis did not surrender
when Richmond was captured" said
General Miles. HE did not surren-
der with Lee and Johnson, but it was
his intention, and he admits it in his
own book, The Rise and Fall Of the
Confederacy,' to try a.ad escape across
the Mississippi so that he could join
the Confederate army in that section.
and continue the war.
HE was sent to Fortress Monroe
to await trial for completely in- the
assassination of Mr.. Lincoln. On
May %, 1865, C. A. Dana, assistant
secretary Of war, authorized and d.
rected me in special order to place
manacles and fetters upon the hands
and feet of Jefferson Davis and Glenn
ent C.. Clay whenever it might be
thought advisable in order to render
their imprisonment more secure. Light
anklets were placed on Davis. He
knocked over a strong man who was
helping to do it. The anklets were
kept on Eve days only, while a wooden
door was being removed and an iron
grated one substituted.
"The anklets gave Davis no pain
and did not prevent him from walk
ing. Mr.. Davis at the time was Sc
years old, strong and agile. Letters
to me from Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Clay
prove that I treated Mr.. Davis with
all the kindness that could be shown
him under the circumstances. State
ments that he. was maltreared or his
health impaired as a result OF impris
onrnent are utterly untrue"

CONVENTION is TELLING.
As Result of New Orleans Meeting
Cotton Has Sharply Advanced.

cotton Has Sharply Advanced.
A Brownwood, Texas, dispatch says:
The following signed statement has
been issued by c. H. jenkins OF the
executive committee Of the Southern
Growers Association:
"Since the first call was issued for
the farmers to organize for the pur'
pose of securing a 25 per cent reduc'
ton of acreage and fertilizers, cotton
has advanced $3.50 per bale. Upon the
basis of 100000 bales being still ID
the hands of the producers, this means
a gain of $1O,000,000 to the cotton
growers of the south. If the farmers
and business men Of the south Will
stand by the program agreed upon at
the New Orleans convention, this gain
will amount to $4O,0O0,Ov0 on the crop
in hand by June 1, and the gain on
the next crop will be at least Sl2o''
100000. Can we not afford to pay
something both in labor and money
for such combination as this?
"The essentials are reduction IN the
next crop and holding the present
crop. The present crop cannot be
held economially without warehouses;
therefore. my advice is to build ware
houses and do it now. Let the farm
ers and business men Of every county
get together at once and raise the nee
essary fund to build a warehouse.

CUBAN CABINET GOES OUT.

All Five Members Call on Palma and
Present designations.
A special from Havana says: All
Ave members Of the cabinet visited
President Palma Thursday and pre-
sented their designations. They stated
that they desired, since President
Palma had announced his allegiance
to the moderate party, to open the
way for him to make whatever selec'
tions for cabinet officers he chooses
under the new conditions.
President Palma courteously but en-
nhatically declined to consider the
designations, and added that his join
ing the moderate party was purely a
personal act and did not necessarily
affect the cabinet.

Wide Section of the South
is Tightly Grasped.
GREAT DAMAGE is DONE
Traffic in Many Cities and Towns
Come to StandstilI While Tele-
graph and Telephone Systems
Are Blocked.

Telephone and telegraphic service
over a wide area Of the south was
almost completely crippled by heavy
sleet Sunday and Monday.
Railroad service also suffered and
in the lighting and street car facili
ties were suspended. The tie-u2 was
the most complete in many years,
and although the telegraph companies
and railroads have large forces of
men at work, it may be several days
before normal conditions prevail.
The storm which covered Kentucky,
Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma. In.
dian Territory, Mississippi, Alabama,
Louisiana and Georgia lad prevailed
intermittently for three days, and the
wires broke under the accumulated
ice. The fall of snow and sleet vary
ing from l to inches extended as
far north as Louisville.
For several hours Atlanta and New
Orleans were cut off from the rest OF
the country. All wires were down
from Memphis to Natchez and New
Orleans and the telegraph companies
sent messages for those points to New
York and down the coast, but even
this service was interrupted for a
time. Two hundred poles went down
in Mississippi.
In Chattanooga The streets were
filed with broken wires and line
man was killed by live wire. The
lighting and street car currents were
turned of to avoid further damage
to pedestrians and linemen.
At Atlanta City Electrician T. J.
Harper at O'Clock Sunday night Or
dered the Georgia Railway and Elec-
trio Company to shut down its cur
rent on ell overhead wires supply
Ing the street car system Of the city
and the street lights, except those in
the immediate vicinity Of the center
Of the city, fed by underground wires.
The execution of the order caught a
large number of trolley cars on the
streets, where they were left over
night.
This had to be done because OF
the telephone wires falling and sag.
ging on the arc and incandescent and
trolley wires, and there was constant
danger of residences being set on
fre.
The fire alarm signals were practi-
caIly all out of working order during
the night. Chief Joyner stated that
a number were repaired during the
AFTERNOON, only to break again early
in the. night, and at $3.50 o'clock all
Of the wires were out Of order.
BY order of the board Of education
there was no school Monday.
The slippery condition of the
streets, the absolute lack Of transpor.
tation, and the danger attending walk
ing on the streets because of falling
trees, telephone and telegraph poles
necessitated the order.
The storm impaired the telegraph
service of both companies in the city,
and the long distance service of the
telephone company.
All Western Union wires going
south from Atlanta were in bad shape
all during Sunday, the Birmingham
wire of the Postal company was COM
planned of by the trouble men and the
long distance phone service was prac-
flca1lv ont Of commission.
