KNIGHTS OF THE GRIP.
IHS DRUMMERS ORGANIZE POST D
OF THE T. P. A.
A Housing Meeting snd a Flourishing
Young Post—A Fraternal Greeting
from Maeon -The Election of Officers
—The Objects of the Association Ex
plained.
About fifty commercial traveler* met at
the Screven house last night for the purpow
of organizing Port D. of the Traveler*' Pro
tective Association. The Travelers Proteo
Ore Association is oompoaed exclusively of
men who sell goods on the road, and the ob
ject of the organization Is principally to se
cure for the traveling men auch advantages
as may be desired in furthering their bu-.
pee interests and promoting their comfort
while traveling.
The organization started only a few years
ago, but so great was the need for *u-’h a
body, and so ready were the drummers to
ally tbamselvea with an .-ueociation that
gave promise from the start of obtaining a
■wonderful power, that already the T. P A.
has grown to enormous proportions, and it
is still growing, if not faster, certainly with
rapidity equal to that of any other organi
zation {n this country to-day.
a promising BtarnOK.
So many of the Savannah drummer* have
become members that they began to feel
that it was time for them to have a post of
their own, and therefore the meeting was
called for last night, and its success was
most encouraging. The parlors of the
Bcyeven House were offered the gentlemen
by Mr. Dub, and in them thev met at S
of clock. Mr. Ed. A. Isaacs, of Macon, the
State President of the Travelers' Pro
tective Association, was present, having
come to the city for the purpose
of organizing the port. After
the meeting was called to order Mr. Isaacs
*u elected temporary chairman, and Mr.
H. M. Bolev temporary secretary. Mr.
Isaacs then called upon all the gentlemen
who were not members, but who dew red to
become members, to do so by signing the
application for membership, arul twenty-five
name* were o-i*d to those of about fifteen
gentlemen woo were members already,
making bt no means a small list for the
post to start with.
THE OBJECT* or THE ORDER.
On motion of Mr. M M. Lilienthal, Mr.
Isaacs was requested to state the objects < f
the association for the information of those
present who were not familiar with them.
Mr. Isaacs said that the objects were to se
cure the repeal of all municipal, county.
State or Territorial laws imposing and en
forcing a license tax on commercial travel
ers; to secure recognition from railroads as
a profession, and obtain as favorable term*
on transportation and lag gage as are
given to any other class of travel
ers. and to adjust all difference*
between railroads and commercial
travelers on a fair, equitable business l<a*is;
to secure hotel aconnmvidation*, commen
surate with the price paid, and to adjust
complaints against hotels, or by them
against commercial travelers; to elevate
the social and moral character of commer
cial travelers aa a profession, to bring about
the better acquaint.).nee of the members,
and to provide pleasant, social amusement
and entertainment to our members on the
road; to secure, through our National Em
ployment Bureau, employment for mem
bers of our association.
These and many other benefits were to
be derived by systematic work as an organ
ized body, which could never tie attained by
individual efforts.
Mr. Isaacs then called upon the post to
proceed with the election of permanent offi
cers, and Messrs. M. M. Lilienthal, 11. Mc-
Leod, D. Hecht, J. Struu*- and Cary Towns
end were appointed a committee to prejsire
a slate. They retired and in a short while
reported as follows: For President, Dean
Newman; First Vice-President, Joseph
Be hunger; Second Vice-President, IX
Hecht, Third Vice-President, Cary
B. Townsend; Secretary anil
Treasurer, H. M. Boley; Directors, Hal A.
Pugiisiey, Jr.. Ben J. Appel, H. A. McLeod,
Jr., and J. Strauss. The elections were by
acclamation, and the gentlemen nominated
by the committee were selected to fill the
respective offices during the coming year.
Mr. Isaac- then expressed Ills hope that the
port would prosper, and delivered up the
chair to President Ne wman, who was loudly
called upon for a speech.
PEOPLE WHO DON'T TALK MUCH.
Up hesitated ;i (uoinetit and ttien said:
“Gentlemen, 1 hardly cxpectad to l railed

In life i* that of u commercial traveler, a
class of men who are noted for not talking
much; but if I must speak 1 will nay this:
I cannot bring to my aid that old
stereotyped expression that your action is
an agreeable surprise. It is agreeable, but
it is not a surprise. When I reached the
city to day I felt as if 1 had learned in a
dream or knew- bv intuition that I would bo
called upon to assume the direction not of
the country at large but of a body politic;
a body of equal interest to us, |ierhupe, with
the country, our T. P. A. When I
was approached by iny friends and
axled if I would a,eept the
position of President I told them certain
ly 1 would, and if I can lie of service to
to you I am prepared to do all that in my
power lies. Anticipating the event, Iha l
thought to prepare mvself with a button
hole bouquet and a brand new walking
stick, but the luck of ail aristocratic na
ture prevented the purchase of the
bouquet and —well, a short purse pre
vented my providing mysolf with
a stock, so I txjught me a $2 2T> hat, lieliev
iug (bat tiuit new hut would add dignity to
the position, the prospective position, and

But aside from all levity, it shall bo my aim
to serve you to the best of my ability,
and in the en<l I hope that niy
services will liave been a benefit
to the post. If it is, my aim shall have
been accomplished, and the mteroft of our
post, our wholesale houses and our business
•hall bale lieeu advanced. I thank you for
your kindness.”
A ERATEKNAL OHEETINO.
After the applause with which Mr. New
man’s remarks were greeted had subsided
the following communication from Post li,
Macon, was read:

Mr Isaacs was then called upon for some
ad hf concerning the financial, and he
Said: *'l will give mu an example When

After w,me discussion the Board of Direc
tor- and the officers were appointed a com
! mittee to visit the wholesale merchants and
j solicit them to become menders.
Mr E A. Weil and Mr H. 8. Gucker.
, heimer were present and were elected

A STATE BOARD OF TRADE.
At the conclusion president Newman
calleii upon Mr. Isaacs to give the post some
instruction in the objects and merit* of the
T. P. A., and Mr. Isaacs said:
"The objects of the association are not
thoroughly understood by traveling men
g-< uI-rally If there was nothing else iu the
world to say for the order this coming
together is of good. and it will soon result
in your making rule* for governing your
self on the rand. The T. P. A. u nothing
more than a’ btate Board of Trade with
local boards forming the pillars
of a structure that is growing
to magnificent proportions and becoming a
power in the land. The Macon post lia*
f>~n organized less than a year, lint it has
done more in Macon than the Board of
Trade, and done work in the interest of the
city that should have been done by the
Board of Trade.'' Sir. Isaacs then briefly
sketched the v.'ork accomplished by the T.
P. A. in the last year, and concluded by
saying:
A BETTER PLOWMAS THAN DRUMMER.
“Hotel men and railroad men ask us what
we care about rates, whether they are high
nr iow; the bouse has to pay th-ra. We do
'•are, gentlemen, and while we are working
in the interest of our employer* we are help
ing ourselves. Two years ago when you ap
plied to a merhant for a position you were
asked what amount of sales you could
guarantee. .Suppose you -aid §50,000, the
merchant would reply: 'Well, if you can
sell soo.'WO worth or goods I will pay you a
solar}’ of §2,0u0.’ The times have changed
since then. Competition has cut down
profit*. and you all know that we have a
hard fight to sell goods at bedrock prices.
Now the merchant does not care what
the amount of your sales is. He takes
the total of the sales and deducts from it
tne cost of the goods, your salary and your
ex| eases, and if the profit does not satisfy
him lie does not hesitate to tell you that you
would make a let ter plowman than vou do
drummor, and that is the reason that we
help ourselves when we cut dowm the ex
penses of the house.”
Mr. Isaacs’ address was listened to with
gTest interest and. at it* conclusion. Presi
dent Newman return'd to him the thanks of
the post for his kindness in organizing the
p-rt and instructing the members in its ob
jects. ■.
The port then adjourned, to moot again
Saturday night, at such place as the Presi
dent and Secretary may select.
THE NEW THEORY PROVED.
The Affinity Between Red-Headed
Glrle and White Horaea Exemplified.
Two of Savannah's nice young men were
sitting in the doorway of a prominent
Broughton street drug *tore yesterday after
noon, and discussing the red-haired girl and
white horse theory. “Now*, I don't believe
there's anything to it,” “aid one, who, for
convenience sake, is called Mr. A. “It’s
only a newspaper yarn and only an idiot
would think of such a thing.”
“W'eU,” said the other, Mr. 8., “just you
watch closely an 1 I’ll wager a soda the two
wiil appear together. ”
“Done,” Raid A . with a smile.
“Ah. there.” said he a few moments later,
“see that auburn-haired angel over there?”
as a young lady with undeniable red hair
appeared coining out of a store opposite.
''Whores your white plug now?” he exult
ingly added with a rapid glance around to
assure himself that he was safe. “Oh, there
he is, all right,” calmly replied the apostle
of the new theory, as he pointed to a white
hor-te appearing around the opposite corner.
“Let’s go and take something,'’ was all the
other could say.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1887.
STILL SEEKING INFORMATION.
Capt Blurt's Answer Does Not Answer,
and Dr. Failigwct is Satisfied
Editor .Morning AVim: The caption
pla-ed over my commamcaUoo in yester
day s News to the- effect that I '•would Sad
my')uest: >n* answered below,” was certain
ly not sustained by the fact*; and as im
fortant public question* are intertwined, I
murt again tak>- the liberty of overhauling
Capt Blun'* position as declared by him
self. The gratuitous slur expressed by Capt.
Blun that “if Dr. Faliigaut washes to in
crease his customer*. Capt. Blun. as agent
of Dr. Bishop> Moore u unwilling to aid
him,” is so characteristic of an animal
teat showrs his teeth and marls
when he we* a biow aimed fairly at him,
that I can well afford to let Cap*. Blun
chew the cad of hi* wonderful wit. Asa
bu.-.ties* fait, every dollar of improvements
r.larei by Col. Screven. Dr. Schley. Dr.
LeHardy, myself and others who are im
proving this section is greatly bevieficiai to
the value of the Catholic Church property
immediately adjacent, and 1 imagine will
be so recognized by every intelligent
churchman, notwithstanding that
Capt. Blun, in “feeling his oats,”
chooses to ascribe to me a motive
which will be readily recognized as having
been the fru.t of his own genius. I
do not believe that Bishop Moore
ever authorized Capt. Blun to do an act op
pressive to poor neighbors. Nor do I be
lieve that Bishop Moore would for a mo
ment indorse any illegal action. The person
1 am after is Capt. Blun, who*© accumu
lated dollars have caused him to “feel his
oats," as I previously expressed it, and to
trample upon thev- poor people living in this
section by shutiug them out from a free
passageway to their home* a right of pass
age which I claim belongs to them.
Now let us revise Capt. Biuns assertions
by producing the facts. Tne. tract of land
between Price and East Broad streets is a
tart of a larger tract purchased by certain
Bishops, and oy them sold to other parties.
Gen. Finnegan purchased the land involved
in our discussion from one of these Bishops
■ Verot, I believe), to whom Bishop Moore
is a successor. Now, Gen. Finnegan sub
divided this tract, including the
laud east of Price street,
which Capt. Blun says has not been
subdivided, and certain lots were gold by
said plat and all of said streettoays arid
lanes by such sales dedicated as streitwny*.
I will go further, and say that the lands
owned by myself and "other gentlemen
above named were laid out in harmony
tfith this plat, and, by a general under
standing with said bishops, to work
together, the facts of which Capt. Blun can
readily obtain from the City Surveyor, and
the results of which appear on the new city
map, the streetways having been named
after various saint* of the church. The lots
and strrets east of Price street are a part
of this dedicated plot. The pretense of
title or right to shut such streetways was
an after thong IU-. and Capt. Blun knows
very well that I and others have protested
against his acts in vain. This is why I have
brought him to the bar of public sentiment,
that he may lie driven to recognize the
rights of the poor residents who purchased
the lots according to the plots, anil acquired
rights of passage along said streetways,
which are now fenced up.
In reference to Capt. Blun’s “oracle” re
garding my motives, I feel it proper to say
this much; that if tiy “customers'" he means
sick persons, he is very well aware that phy
sicians in charge of my case, advised sev
eral years rest from professional work, and
if he means “purchasers of my lots,” they
will be quite as safe in my hands, in their
person and property, as they would be in
his. The captain should stick to the sub
ject, and not dodge or slant off sideways.
Respectfully yours.
L. A. Falligaxt.
A COUPLE OF SUGGESTIONS
Which it Might be Advisable for the
Authorities to Consider.
Havaxnah, Sept. '2o. —Editor Morning
Set vs: The foul-smelling vaults, which
greet one’s nostrils at every lane corner at
night, to which you have called attention,
should be looked after as soon as possible.
They not only annoy and sicken citizens,
but give a bad impression of the city to
strangers who visit here in the winter.
There is quite a number of these vault*
that no amount of cleaning or disinfecting
can greatly improve. They are very old
and are so thoroughly -at united that clean
ing or disinfecting does not reach the parts
most affected. I venture to say, that in a
number of cases the bricks are soaked, and
the ground surrounding the vaults also, to
a distance of four or five feet. In these
cages the only remedy is to remove them,
and build new ones in another part of the
lot.
There is another matter which should also
receive attention from tho same authorities.
I refer to the wells in different parts of the
city. Some of these wells are so near the
sewers as to receive some of tho contents of
them. One on Hall street and Whitaker, in
the Park extension, is very near to the
sewer. When the sewer was built the well
became dry, and it was necessary to deepen
it to obtain water. In doing so tho well
was sunk below the sewer, and then the well
received tho drainage from tho sewer,
through the bottom of the sewer, which is
usually built dry, or without mortar. Quite
a number of people drink the water from
this well as they pass through the Park ex
tension, and do not know that they nre
drinking that which will produce disease
and death. Another well on Broughton
street, between Price and Houston streets, is
in about the same condition, and it is very
naturul to suppose that.the water iu it is
contaminated and dangerous. Tho only
remedy in these cases (like the old vaults) is
to abolish the wells—close them tip. I have
not mentioned all the things to which I
would like tc call the attention of the au
thorities. Public Good.
Consumption, Wasting Diseases,
And general debility. Doctors disagree as to
the relative value of Cod Liver Oil anil Hy
p( phosphites: the one supplying strength
and flesh, t.lie other giving ucrvu power, and
acting us a tonic to the dig*■stive and entire
system Hut in Scott’s Emulsion of Cod
Liver Oil with Hypopbosphites the two are
combined, and the effect is wonderful.
Thousands who have derived no permanent
benefit from other preparations have
linen cured by this. Scott'* Emul
sion is ls'rfectly palatable and is easily di
gested b v those who cannot tolerate plain

junction. The Chancellor, in concluding
his opinion, says: “I have never had ray
attention called to anv fact or circum
stances determining the duration of this
alleged contract, whether it is to last one
year, one month, or until the election. If
this ingredient is nothing in the contract, it
is manifest that the American could not

that the complainants cannot enforce it
against the defendant*. ”

At 4 o’clock on Haturdny morning an im
mense flock of wild geese passed over
Charleston bound south. A gehtleman who
hail just finished a game of “draw,” 25c.

ered the heavens and flew very low, so low
that he thought some of them would strike
the high buildings, and that they made the
night hideous w ith their shrieks.

from B. M. Turner. Superintendent of the

vice, instructing him that the daily mail

Dr. Wil lim H. Emerson. the
Citadel, and Mias Lily Cherry were married
at the Presbyterian church at Tunnel Hill
on Sept. 13.* This marriage is the result
of a romantic attachment, which has ex
isted since the young couple were little
playmates in childhood. They are now at
Tallulah Falls, Ga., but will arrive in the
city in a few days and take up their resi
dence at the Citadel.
On July 18 Postmaster Mowry suspended
the midduy delivery of mails in view of the
fact that tho carrier force had been all but
thoroughly disabled by the excessive heat
from attending to their duties. Five of the
carriers, in fact, had suffered severely, and
it was feared that general ill results would
follow if the full schedule of delivery was
carried out. Postmaster Mowry took the
matter into consideration, relieved the force
of |he deliver}- at midday, the work of
which at the time mentioned was almost
beyond human endurance. The schedule
was, however, resumed on Sept. 1. Binco
this latter date the carriers determined, in
whatever degree they could best, to requite
the kindness of their chief, and gave ex
pression to their feelings in the matter
Tuesday. The carriers called upon him
then in a body and, after expressing their
thanks for his kiud caro of them, presented
him a set of complimentary resolutions,
passed by them at a meeting recently hold,
handsomely trained. The postmaster re
sponded in very lifting terms and returned
thanks for their kind words.

A FARCE ON THE DIAMOND.
Charleston’s Men Don’t Do What They
are Paid to Do.
Memphis, Tr.xjf., Sept. ’JO.—The 500 or
more people who went to the park this after
noon to see a game of ball were treated in
stead to a roaring farce, and left nursing the
biggest disgust of the season. The visitors
began the performance, Hungler throwing
down the ball and retiring to right field be
cause Me A leer, the first batter, was given
his base on balls. The fact is Hungler
has Iwn worked too hard lately, and
he was utterly unable to put the
sphere over the plate. Williams came in
from right field and took his place, and
either could not or would not pitch. He
scut the bail gently within a convenient
distance of the latter, and was of
course, pounded unmereifullv. From
the time he went in. Charleston
made no effort to win and played
like amateurs. Billy Smith, of the
Memphis team umpired and did very
well until it became evident that the visitors
stood no show to win, when he sailed in and
during the last two innings gave the crowd
a realistic representation of the very rank
deals given Memphis in Charleston. His
decisions were purposely absurd and appear
ed to amuse tne visitors as much as the
home team. The score by innings follows:
Memphis 33 6 I 0 1 4 3 o—l 7
Charleston 10 301 1 00 0— 5
BsUteries—McKeough and Baker for Memphis,

Who Runs the Road?
People within a radios of half a mile of
the old passenger depot of the East Tennes
see. Virginia and Georgia railroad, says
Tuesday's Macon Teierjvaph, were startled
and mystified Saturday night, or rather
Sunday morning, by some very loud and
prolonged blowing of a locomotive whistle.
It seems that a freight tram in charge of
conductor Underwood, engineer Viceroy,
brought out nineteen loaded cars from the
vard and to which were added four others.
The train should have left Macon for At
lanta at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, but the
engineer refused, giving as a reason that
there were five more cars in the train than
he should carry, each engine hav
ing been pro-rated by the road on its own
proposition, and furthermore that his en
gine, No. 303. could not pull such a heavy
train to Atlanta. The authorities wired
Atlanta and Engineer Woods came down on
the 10:15 train for the purpose of taking the
train up. When he arrived in Macnu and
found out why Engineer Viceroy would nor
carry it, he also refused. The train, which
had bee n kept on a side track near the new
freight depot, remained there all night,
then all day Sunday and yesterday. An
other engineer came down yesterday from
Atlanta, but lieing a member of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers with
Engineers Viceroy and Woods, lie also re
fused. The brotherhood would not allow
the train to carry the present number of
cars, and the authorities would not take off
the cars, and the result is the train is still
on the side track.
On Saturday night Master Mechanic
Boldridge said he would carry the train to
Atlanta himself, and jumping on the engine
blew for signals to be'put on; but for some
reason he did not take the train.
Yesterday the matter was before the au
thorities in Atlanta, and new develop
ments were made. Train Master Gallagher,
it seems, had made a calculation of the ton
nage of the train, and it proved to bo
even le3s than the amount pro-rated, and
had so figured to the engineers, but they hail
made their own calculation, and in some
way figured too high. The result of the
whole affair is that an engineer was looked
for from Atlanta to take the train as it was,
without dropping any cars.
