Went to Sea, and His Friends Think
It la a Put Up Job on Him—CoL Buck
Takee Tea With Collector T. F. John
son and Then Returns to Atlanta.
CoL A. E. Back, the autocrat of the Re-
publican party in Georgia, spent a busy
day In Savannah yssterday, and left last
night well satisfied with his work. He came
to Savannah to find that there were ele
ments of discord among the local party
leaders, and he left them tumbling all over
themselves in a very oestacv of harmony.
DR. BUCK FRB6CHIRKB HARMONT.
There was little if any show of conceal
ment as to the object of Col. Buck’s mis
sion to this city. From sources whieh are
deemed reliable it is learned that the object
of CoL Buck’s visit to Savannah was to fin
ish up tbe work whioh CoL A. N. W ilson of
Atlanta left undone on tbe occasion of Mr.
Wilson's visit to this city two or three
months ago.
OoL Buck immediately went to work on
the party leaders yesterday morning, bis
object being first to harmonise the oppos
ing factions, second to bring them together
and get them to renew their friendship,
and third to remove all opposition among
them for Joseph F. Doyle for postmaster.
CoL Buck’s first labor was with T. F.
Johnson, collector of customs, and in a short
time he succeeded in bringing Capt.
Doyle and Mr. Johnson together and
they shook hands and buried all past
differences. The next step was to bring
Col. Atkins aDd Capt. Doyle together,
which was done yesterday, and they shook
hands and wondered why they should ever
have fallen out.
Before CoL Buck left for Atlanta last
night it was an open secret that he had
fixed upon Joseph F. Doyle for postmaster,
and that early steps will be taken to effect a
change in the Savannah povtoffioe.
PORTER’S FRIENDS SUSPECT A JOB.
The absence of Mr. David Porter from
the city yesterday is thought by his friends
to have !>een arranged before hand, so that
CoL Buck would not be embarrassed by Mr.
Porter in fixing things for the appointment
of Joseph F. Doyle. It appears thae Deputy
Collector Porter, who is a oandidate for
postmaster, had gone down the river on the
revenue cutter Bout well and it is be
lieved by Porter’s frieuds that
CoL Buck timed hl6 visit so ns to be here,
effect his purpose and get out of town be
fore Mr. Porter could return.
An official of the custom house, in dis
cussing CoL Buck’s movement-; here,
remarked that Mr. Porter will be very
angry on his return to learn that CoL Biiok
has been here and shaped matters as they
are at present, and tbe official added
that it would lie very difficult to make Mr.
Porter’s friends believe that it was not a
set-up job to got Porter out of town, so
that CoL Buck could slip to Savannah and
have Porter’s backers withdraw their re
commendations for Porter, substituting like
recommendations for Joseph F. Doyle.
COL. BUCK LOOKING BADLY.
Col. Buck has been in bad health since his
return from Boston a mouth ago, and his
ill-healtb has tended to reduce his flesh,
while dark lines under his eyes show how
severe a spell of sickness he has been passing
through. This did not prevent him from
making the entire rounds yesterday, calling
on the party leaders, urging the Johnson-
Atkins crowd to bury the tomahawk and
tbe Doyle party to throw away tbe shilla
lah. CoL Buck was called on at his rooms
at the Pulaski by Collector Johnson, Dick
Dow, Capt, Doyle and his son, Joe F.
Doyle, CoL Aikius and several of the col
ored leaders of the party.
In the afternoon CoL Buck returned all
the calls, and, also, visited tbe office of the
party organ and the republican headquar
ters in the Doyle block, at St. Julian and
Barnard streets. He had accepted invita
tions in two directions to go out for a drive
about tbe city and to the suburbs, but his
contract to bring together all the discordant
elements here was a task requiring a great
deal more of time than he had bargained
for, and so he had to cancel hw
engagements, promising to return to Sa
vannah before the close ot the congressional
campaign and spend a day or two in visit
ing the city and suburban resorts.
CHANGE IN THE POSTOFFICE IMMINENT.
It is believed by the republican leaders
here that as a result of CoL Buck’s visit a
change will be mads in tbe Savannah poet
ottice in a very short time, and it is under
stood that Joseph F. Doyle has the personal
assurance of Col. Buck that his appoint
ment will be made at an early date. Before
taking tbe train for Atlanta CoL Buck
accepted an invitation to take tea at Col
lector Johnson’s and left last night for At
lanta.
The Republican party is showing consid
erable activity in the district as their
printed circular, appealing for money,
which appeared in yesterday’s
Morning Ntws, attests. It is under
stood that while they recognise
tbe hopelessness of any effort to elect a legis
lative tioket, yet L. M. Pleasanm, J. E.
Whiteman and C. A. Wylly, all colored,
will remain in the Held as candidates for
the House, and an effort will be made to
poll the full republican vote of the county
next Wednesday.
THEIR RALLYING COMMITTEE.
In order to insure a full turn out, Chair
man Whiteman of the executive oommittee
has appointed a large rallying committee
for the polls next Wednesday. The rally
ing committee is wholly composed of col
ored republicans, and is as follows:

yesterday the oolored people of Liberty
county held a large barbecue, at which eu
logistic speeches for the republican candi
date for congress were had.
The republicans have opened out their

A rumor was in circulation on the Bay

of the Savannah Cotton Press Association,
laughed heartily when an inquiry was made
of him if the rumor was well founded.
“ fhere is no foundation, in fact, for such
a rumor,” Mr. Wade informed a Horsing
News reporter last night.

THK CIGARETTE EVIL.
Sapping tha Lives of the Youth in Spite
of the Law
The passage of the law by the last legis
lature forbidding the sale of tobacco and
cigarettes to minors does not appear to have
diminished the sale of cigarettes here.
Savannah youths of tender age continue
to puff the deadly cigarette as freely and
boldly as before the law was passed. A
Morning News reporter taUed with sev.
•ral of the leading retail tobacconists of the
city yesterday upon the subject, asking
them particularly if their sales of cigarettes
bad decreased stnoe the passage of the law.
They all replied that instead of a deareaee
there had been an increase in the sale of
cigarettes and that they could not see that
their trade was affected in tbe least.
A popular retailer said, in answer to the
reporter’s inquiry, tbat he only sold the
better grades of cigarettes and did not keep
the cheap grades, as his trade was almost
entirely among me a, and since the passage
of the bill be bad refused to sell cigarettes
to hoy*. For all that, be says he sees more
hoys smoking now than ever before.
"Do you sell as many cignrettes now a
before the passage of tbe law against selling
them to minors!" asked the reporter of a
Bull street dealer.
“More." answered tbe proprietor. "The
boys get around the low easy enough. They
come in h-re and call for cigarettes for
their older brothers, or their fathers, even,
and it isn’t our business to contra
dict them; or they get some older
person to buy a pack for them. Generally,
though, small boys buy tbelr cigarettes now
from the fruit stands, all of which have
them on sale The boys have no difficulty
in getting all tbe cigarettes they want."
A similar question was put to an t.hor
well known retailer last nlgni, and he said:
"The law doesn’t make any difference. It
is too easv to get around. The boys come
in here with orders for cigarettes for men,
ami, of course, we have to fill the order.
Many of them get their older acquaintances
to write out the orders for them,
but many of them write their
own orders and sign somebody else’s name
to It. Gno little boy comes in here regularly
every day with his order with bis father's
name attached to it lam satisfied the lit
tle scamp writes them himself.
“Very commonly the boys will get a
negro to buy their cigarettes for them, and
most any negro is willlug to do this in re
turn for a cigarette.
“I wish the law oould be enforced,” con
tinued the tobacconist. "There are any
number of boys in this town who are actu
ally killing themselves with cigarettes. The
cigarette has a ruinous effect upon them;
there is no doubt about tnat. It ought to
be stopped, but the law doesn't fill
the bill. The only way to do it is to
pan a law against the manufacture of
cigarettes, and I believe it will be done
within the next two years. TU be glad
when it’s done, too."
It Is safe to say that thero is no city in the
state, in proportion to its population that
has more young boys who are constant
smokers of cigarettes than Savannah. To
an observer on the streets it looks as
if all the boys, big and little,
black and white, use the poisonous cigarette.
That it is injurious is known beyond a
doubt The testimony is too one-sided to
doubt this. “Tobacco-heart” has become a
common disease among boys si ice ciga
rettes oame into popular use.
The present law does not seem to fill the
bilk It is not enforced at any rate.
New York has a law which recently went
into effect that, if enforced, will break up
cigarette smoking by boys. Tbe New York
law makes it a misdemeanor for any child,
“actually or apparently under 16 yearß of
age, to smoke or in any way U9e any cigar,
oigarette, or tobacco lu any form what
soever, in any public street,” place or re
sort." There will, it is said, be a movement
inaugurated to secure some legislation of
this character in Georgia.

Gentlemen—A member of my family
has been nfflicted with asthma for several
years, the attacks recurring from time to
time us is usual with this disease. In May
or June of last year, 1889, these attacks be
came almost continuous, hardly a day or
night passed without suffering from the dis
tressing attacks until 1 became alarmed
on account of the loss of sleep and
the severity of the disease, fearing
a general decline of the health. 1
consulted several ominent physicians in
New York aud in this city, but with no
beneficial results from tbeir prescriptions.
About Sept. 1, she commenced usiug the
Microbe Killer and since that time has never
had a return of the paroxysms, and her gen

THE MORNING NEWS : SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1890.
LA WING FOB THE BOOKS.
A Ball in Trover for tha Books of
Greene Square Ctaurch.
The latest development in the Second Af
rican Baptist church split it a legal contest
just begun tor the pasta Bon of the books < f
the church. The action is begun by the
church clerk who has joined the anti-Ellis
faction, against the acting clerk, Charles B.
Moss, who has tbe books in his posseesion.
Milledge sued out a writ of ball in trover
bof .re Justice Sheftall yesterday against
Moss for the possession of the books. The
writ was served upon Mias and be gave
bond for tbe forthcoming of the books, and
the cswfl will be beard OoL 21, by Justice
SheftalL that being nis civil court day.
The possession of the book* by the El lit
party has been a great advantage to them,
and one of tbe chief feature* of the fight
has been the endeavor of the opposition to
gain possession of tbe oharon records, they
claiming that the books were manipulated
against them by the pastor and bis friend,
Moss, and that the anti Ellis faction were
not allowed to Inspect tbe books.
The way Moss carne into the possession of
tbe books is said to be as follows: M'Hedge
is tbe regularly elected clerk of tbe church,
and has acted in that capacity for some
time, but about the time of the beginning of
tbe difficulty Milledge had occasion to leave
the city for a while, and gave the books
into toe keeping of Charles Moss, who
acted as olerk pro tern. In the absence of
Milledge. On the return of the latter to
tbe city a short time ago, Milledge took
sides agalust the pastor. As clerk of the
ohurch, he asked for the books to be re
turned to him, but Moss refused to do this.
It would have given tbe enemies of the
pastor a big advantage to secure control of
the books. Acting upon the advioe of his
attorney, R. R. Richards, Esa., Milledge
made a formal demand upon Moss for the
books last Thursday, and being refused,
sued out the bail in trover for their re
covery.
The books in question are the church
minutes and the records of the prudential
committee of the church, and their value is
stated at #45. Moss had either to surrender
the books, give bond for them, or go to
Jail. By giving bond the ouse is postponed,
and the books remain In possession of Moss.
This carries tbe church difficulty into the
courts upon a strictly legal issue of a differ
ent character from the affray prosecutions
begun against the members of the opposi
tion by the Ellis party, growing out of the
recent riot la the church. Should Moss lo e
the case it will be certioraried to the supe
rior court. Mnes still holding the book* after
be has given bond.

The examination of applicants for posi
tions as teachers in the public schools of
Savannah took place at Chatham Academy
yesterday, aud was conducted by Commis
sioners Saussy and Blu-i and Hupt. Baker.
The examination begun at 9 o’clock and
lasted all day. There wore nineteen white
applicants and twenty-two colored, all the
applicants being females.
The men seem to have given the field up
to the womeu. The examination was for
the grammar school grade, aud required the
applicants to have only a good c ramon
school education. It was thorough through
out and the applicants wore examined in
geography, English grammar, arithmetic,
spelling, reading and writing. Though not
a very severe test, the questions propounded
were by no means easy, and the average
business man would have been stumped on
half of them.
Supt. Baker informed a Morning News
reporter that as far as he could tell the
papers submitted were very good. Messrs.
Saussy, Blun and Baker will meet at the
academy this afternoon for the purpose of
examining the papers and ascertaining the
result, which will be announced Monday
morning.
There are only a few prospective vacan

cants, even should they pass the examina

ABSOLUTELY PURE
i Hi GEORGIA RAILROAD.
Over Half a Million Dollars of N6t
Warning's In One Year.
President and General Manager Green, of
the Georgia Railroad Company, has issued
hn report for the year ending June 30,1890,
which is in the form of an address to the
lessees. The earnings and expenses for the
year were: Gross earnings, $1,683,088 14;
dividend, etc., $01,176 50; gross income,
$1,744,811 04; ordinary erpoDsea, $970,-
634 39; net earnings over ordinary expenses,
$718,001 75; net income over ordinary ex
penses, $774,177 25; total extraordinary ex
penses, $308,136 61: net earnings over ail
expenses, $504,865 14; net income over all
expenses $566,040 64. Gross earnings per
mile increased $846, and the percentage of
expenses t<> earnings was 70.01 per cent.,
against 67.36 per cent, in 1889. The mile
tonnage was 81,601,022 tons, against 75,185,-
387 tons in 1889. While the earnings show
marked improvement, the expenses have
been unusually large, resulting in decreased
net earnings of $10,042.
During the year $308,136 —included in
operating expenses—was expended for
much needed betterments, steel rails and
new rolling stock forming the principal
items of the account. The steady growth
of the road’s business is full of encourage
ment, and Inspires the belief that after the
present year its net earnings, supplemented
t>y the income from other properties in
which it is interested, will not only provide
for the rental, but make further provision
for gradually refunding the large sums ad
vanced by the lessees. The rolling stock is
In excellent condition. The roadway has
beoA kept in good condition, fiince the date
of the last report 1,800 tons of new 65-
pound steel rails have been laid on the main
line, replacing steel rails in good condition
(56-pound) transferred to the Macon branch,
the second line Atlanta to Clifton, and
the Augusta and Atlanta yards. There
still remain" miles of iron rails on the
Macon and Washington branches, which
must be gradually replaced with steel.
THE BROOK OP BONDS FLAOBO.
A Bynd cate Takes $700,000 Savan
nah and Western Bonds.
Information received from New York
confirms the report published by the Morn
ing News on the eve of Gen. Alexander’s
trip north, that a block of bonds of the
Savannah and Western Railway Company
had been Disced with an English syndi
cate.
Hon. Pat. Calhoun, general counsel of the
company, says that the company has sold
$700,000 of the bonds heretofore remaining
unsold (about $2,500,000) to an English syn
dicate. He deolines to mention the price,
hut states that it Is entirely satisfactory to
the company. In other quarters it was said
that the bonds brought about the same
price as the first block sold, and that the
Georgia Central Company is assured of a
market for the remainder of the issue.
Gen. E. P. Alexander, president of the
Georgia Central, is still in New York, but
will soon return to Savannah. The total
mileage of the Savannah and Western is
438 miles,and the road is bonded for SIB,OOO
per mile. None of the bonds have been
sold for the past two years. The Savannah
and Western stock is all owned by the
Georgia Central.

The Dublin Post says that grading on the
Macon and Atlantic railroad is still going

completed from Bruton to Stillmore, Tatt
nall county, in about another week, and
ties are being placed in position as fast as
possible. It is said that a construction
train will be put on at Bruton and one at
Stillmore in a few days, and that track
laying will begin in dead earnest.
