8 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 upon for a speech, inasmuch a* my sphere 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 bti of service on the long and dusty road. 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: Todavannnh Post l)., greeting: At n meeting of oar pent, held yesterday, Kepi. 17, we, the un denslgiie.' .'tmiiult tee ren apiiohiteif to forward tb*' follow ing SSM'iliitlo'is, w hich had been en thusin'* icrtlly lul* pled: 0r it MttoUtr'l. • .at: we greet with pleasur - our ud uit sister.

How TO haisk money. Mr Isaacs was then called upon for some ad hf concerning the financial, and he Said: *'l will give mu an example When Maooo Post wa> organized It found Itaelf financially iwbarrAsaed, ||k all new organ ISaUons Tin' Nihmilniis ajajiliswj Vu the ■thnhwa:* last i hauls tu baoume hußurarv members, and pay a fee of not leu* than §5, ; and not more than all they had. and they were very suoceatful in their efforts.

You should pay i nothing but the $2 per annum, the fee which | you must f*v to remain in good standing." 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.

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. THROUGH THE CITY. Items Gathered Here and There by the News Reoortera. No arrests were made by the police yes terday. Magnolia Encampment No. 1, I. O. O. F., meets this evening.

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.

If this ingredient is nothing in the contract, it is manifest that the American could not enforce its terms specifically aguinst the complainants.

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.

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, Williams and Nicholas for Charleston. Base hits— Memphis 17.

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. Skinny Men.
