8 BUCK MEANT BUSINESS. BOW HB HARMONIZED MANY DIB COBDANT FACTIONS Johnson, Doyle end Atkins Shake Hands and They are All for Har mony and Joe Doyle for Postmas ter - Bumors Flying 1 Thick and Fast In the Republican CamD Tnat a Change In the Postoffloe Is Immi nent Porter Adrift Because He 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: John Alston, chairmau; R. R, Jackson, John F. Andrews, James Atkinson, Sol C. Johnson, H. M. Johnson, Isaac Charlton, I. H. King, John H. Coffee, C. W. Lawson, J. Maxwell, Isaac W. Cooper, James Middle ton, Maurice A. Erwin, York M. Milledge, Dennis Farley, A. N. Mordecal, W llliam R. Fields, C. Nichols, Thos. E. Ferrebee, Lucius Porter, Edward Fox, L. M. Pleasants, Jr., A. H. Gaston, W. H. Royall, Honor Grant, Richard Butler, John M. Hollingsworth, John Sneed R. Spencer. Thomas Walker, Samuel Elliott, Lymus Green, William Dolly, William Grant, John Styles, Green Moon, R. F. Grant. RURAL ACTIVmr. The same activity is reported from vari ous portions of the First district. The Liberty county republicans have met and indorsed their congressional candidate, aud 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 headquarters in the third story of the Doyle block, which has been placed in charge of L. B. Toomer (colored). A Billy Canard. A rumor was in circulation on the Bay yesterday that the Central had bought the lower cotton compress plant, paying SIOO,- 000 therefor. Mr. William Wade, president 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. The Democratic Executive Committee Meeting To-n gat. The democratic executive committee of Chatham county will hold a meeting at the office of the chairman, Hon. W. G. Charl ton, at 8 o’clock to-nigbt. It is understood that rallyiug and challenging committees will be appointed for the election next Wednesday. 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. A GOOD WORKING COMMITTEE. Chairman Charlton Announces His Appointments. Hon. Walter G.

Thursday night was the coolest for months, and the need of extra ooverlng for the sleepers was very perceptibly felt. The thermometer fell to 62“ during the night. The mercury rose again yesterday, reaching 84°, the temperature being about normal. No rain fell in Savannah yesterday, though the day was somewhat cloudy. There were heavy showers at Alapaha and Hainbridge in the Savannah district, and lighter rains at Americus, Fort Gaines and Thomas ville. The average rainfall for the Savannah district yesterday was .26 inches. The day was almost fair throughout the south, very little rain being reported out side of Savannah, Montgomery and Wil mington districts. The deficiency of rainfall, which was nearly 10 inches a few weeks ago, has been reduced to 3.93 inches, and the prospect is that there will be fair weather for aw nils.

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. LOCAL. P3BSONAL. Mr. and Mrs. F. C.

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.

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 MAOON AND ATLANTIC. Track Raying to Begin at Bruton and Stillmore Soon. The Dublin Post says that grading on the Macon and Atlantic railroad is still going on at a rapid rate.
