TYBEE SEASON OPENS MAY II
Military Bali Is Planned. Hotel Ty-
bee Is to BE Refurnished and
Greatly Improved.

With new furnishings throughout
Tybee Hotel will open for the season
of 1908 on May II, and from the
first will swing the season into full
blast
A military ball will be the first
large social event of the year at the
beach, and plans have already been
started to make it an affair long to
be remembered.
The presence of the Savannah Vol,
unteer Guards in encampment at Ty-
bee, and the presence also of proba-
bly, a regiment from another section
of the state, enables the hotel man
agement to announce the date of the
ball as Tuesday, May 10, two days
after the opening
The encampment will continue
from May 16 for ten days or two
weeks, and it is probable. that sever
al other social affairs will be given
in honor of the officers and men of
the military. Z
For the season Professor Levin of
Raleigh, N. c., has been engaged,
and his orshestra will furnish music
at the hotel on many occasions be-
fore the cold weather drives the
guests away. Messrs. Geo. Keene
and F. B. Stubs, proprietors of the
hotel, announce that the entire build
ing will be thoroughly overhauled,
and that. new furnishings will be in
stalled in readiness for the reception
Of the guests.
The improvements at the Tybee
Hotel will cost a considerable amount
of money, and will include not only
changes at the hotel proper, but in
the other accommodations for the
patrons of the hotel at the beach.
The intention of the management
is to make this year at Tybee the
best it has had, and the islands at
fractions more attractive than ever
before.

past few months has been living on
his farm up in Cherokee. He was
his fathers chief aide in the manage
ment of the State road, and was
largely responsible for the splendid
showing which that road made under
the Brown lease.
1t was his knowledge and expert
ence in business matters, in rate
making and in the affairs of railroads
generally that caused him to be plac-
ed upon the railroad commission. His
ability, his sturdiness, his conception
of duty was shown by the fight that
was made upon him two years ago by
Mr.. Smith and his organ. There were
two other men, both prominent IN
politics in Georgia, on the commits
sion at that time, but neither of them
was thought worthy of passing slap,
though they could have dominated
the commission.

were being passed out to them by an

ALL HELPED THEMSELVES
SENSATIONAL REVELATIONS IN
EX-CASHIER ORR'o TRIAL.
Their Explanation of Why They Took
the Banks Money Is That
They Needed 1t.


The trial of c. NJ Orr, former cash
Ter of the Exchange Bank, has re-
vealed dark chapters in the manage
ment of the finances of the institu-
ton covering a long period of years,
according to Macon dispatch to the
Savannah News.
Long examinations of w. H. Bur
dick, the cashier in charge at the
time of the banks failure, Bookkeep-
ers E. B. Williams, C. P. Bannon and
others who were connected with the
institution revealed large shortages
in accounts of several of the en-
ployes.
Mr.. Burdick was the only man who
said he had never taken dollar from
the bank wrongfully.
Employees who admitted taking
large sums said they needed the mon
ey when they were called upon to ex-
plain.
DistortedA accounts and wilful ir-
Irregularities were piled up as evidence
in large volumes.
One hearing the testimony could
only wonder how the bank existed as
long as it did with the cases Of short
age that existed.
Blocked Effort to Get Cabaniss.
Attorneys for the defense have
blocked every effort of the prosecu-
tiOn to secure some sort OF evil
dence from former president j..
w. Cabaniss of the Exchange
Bank which might lead to clearing
I'D of the disposition of some OF the
funds alleged to have been wrongly
handled by Orr when he was cashier,
Mr.. Cabaniss would not even testify
az to whether he was formerly head
of the institution.
The Manipulation of Figures.
Startling disclosures as to the ma
nlDuidIIOl vi heS OAA ny
have been frequent.
The manager of the Southern Cot
ton Oil Co. was introduced to show
that a draft of $1,000 had been
charged against the account OF the
concern without any authority from
any one. 1t was admitted by wit
nesses who were employees of the
bank that the draft was charged
against the oil concern in order to
tide over occasions wnen the money
was needed.
Sam Mayer, director of the bank,
offered evidence showing that Caba-
Mss and Orr had dealt lightly in cot
ton futures through him. The farms
operated by Orr were discussed by
those who sought to show that large
sums had been expended there.

PRAISE WORK FOR FARMERS
CONGRESSMAN COMPLIMENT THE
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.
Griggs Would Increase Appropriation
for the Investigation of Soils a
Hundred Thousand Dollars.

Congress has had under consider
alton the agricultural appropriation
bill.
The work of the department of ag-
riculture was highly praised by Mr..
Pollard of Nebraska.
Further commentator of the work
came from Mr.. Smith of Missouri,
who strongly advocated the encour-
agement of agricultural education
through experiment stations.
Mr.. Humphreys of Mississippi crit
icised the bill for it's failure to make
proper provision for the bureau of
soils. There were only three sources,
he said, from which the national
wealth was drawn. Those were the
soil, the mines and the forests. 1t
was shame, he charged, land a sin
against our children to hear men in
this new world talk of WORKOUT
soil" The country was burning the
candle at both ends, and he said that
congress should legislate to better
the condition of those who dig the
nations greatness from the soil.
A plea for homesteads for farmers
of three hundred and twenty acres in
stead of one hundred and sixty acres
was made by Mr.. French of Idaho.
Brief speeches by Messrs. Griggs
of Georgia, who gave notice of an
amendment increasing by 100000
the appropriation for the investiga-
ton of soils; by Mr.. Bell of Georgia,
who favored governmental aid to
public roads; by Mr.. Ellerbee of
South Carolina, who also favored in
creased appropriations for soil inves-
tigatiOn.

ing in fire and enthusiasm. Brown
admitted that his opponent had all
of these qualities, that he was a great
orator and a dashing man, but that
he lacked Judgement, " with the
accent on the last syllable. When
the votes were pOlled it was found
that the awkward mountaineer-candi-
date with his inability to make bril-
liant speeches, was elected by more
than ten thousand majority.
His career afterwards was as
unique as was his race for governor.
While the orators were stirring the
impulses of the people "Old Judge

ing the PROSPERITY which was swept
awav in the storm of war. Like Rob
ert e. Lee. he believed in making'the
best of a bad matter-in letting the
embers of a sectional hate die out
rather than keep them alive.
He believed that southern states
mon sbou1d take I'D the work of re-
storing order and not leaving 1t to
the carpet baggers and scalaWags.
For this position he was bitterly de-
nounced by the orators and fire-eat-
ers ofethe day. For several years ne
was almost ostracised, but time
which heals all wounds and rights all
wrongs, showed that he was rlSh1.

members of the Oakland, Cal, bar. He
was here but eight days, leaving on
the Manchura for home on Tuesday.
During his stay here Mr., Reed prob
ably saw more of the island of Oahu
and other points of interest than most
persons. He made tour of the island
in an auto, visited various sugar plan
tations, and at Eva was taken through
the mill by persons connected with the
ownership. He describes his visit to
this mill as one of the educational
features of his "trip. He never imag-
ined that such great mass of machin'

roof for the making of sugar,
