THE MILL A ST RE THING.
THS CHATHAM COTTON FACTORY
ASSOCIATION OHOANIZ-D.
A Board of Directors Elected and
$60,000 of Stock Subscribed—The
Flan of the Organization and Some
of the Men Who are Back of It-A
Committee on Subscriptions Ap
pointed and Books to be Opened at
Once.
The Chatham County Cottrm Factory
Association was organised last night at
Catholic Library Hall upon the mutual co
operative monthly installment plan, with a
proposed capital of $500,000, divided into
1,000 shares of *SOO each, to be paid up In
100 monthly installments of $5 each.
The meeting was opened bv a motion by
H. C. Davis that J. L. Whatley take the
chair, whioh was CarrieL Mr. Whatley
took the chair and called the meeting to
order. About fifty representative business
men were present. Mr. W batley was asked
to state the object of the meeting, whioh
he did, outlining the plan whioh had been
agreed upon by the prime movers of the
enterprise, and which has already been
published in the Mousing News.
IVHAI SAVANNAH NEEDS.
Mr. Whatley reviewed the status of
Savannah's business interests, the iaok of
manufacturing industries s > dispropor
tionate to the immense trade of the city
and its commercial unp> rtanoe. The reason
be said, why Savannah, with its location
aad t ns. neat, has a population of only 41,-
000, Is that there are no manufacturing in
dustries, necessary to maintain a large
population, and that with factories of
various kinds the population of the city will
not be lea, than 100,000 at the next c-naua.
He said the great trouble is that
the money ma ie in Savannah is
not spent here. There are not
sufficient inducement* to invest. The
mutual co-operative plan, he said, has been
agreed up >n as the best by which to raise
tne amount of capital necessary f >r a large
cotton factory. He ha i investigated the
matter thoroughly aud was sat isfied that a
factory will pay here. Heretofore the cost
of fuel has prohibited the establishment of
factories to be run by steam power, but
now ooal can be laid down at leas than $3
per ton. At that figure for coal, steam
power is as cheap as water power aud more
desirable for a number of reasons.
THE COMPANY OBOANIZED.
At the conclusion of Mr. Whatley’s re
marks, E. F. Bryan was elected secretary.
Mr. Bryan moved that the chair appoint
a committee of five to select a name for the
proposed company, and to suggest such
names as would make a suitable board of
managers, eleven in number.
The lollowing committee was appointed:
IV. L. Wilson, J. K. F. Carr, Waring Rus
sell, Jr., George N. Nichols and Grats C.
Myers, to which E. F. Bryan was added.
The committee was requested to meet im
mediately,and a recess w as taken while it de
liberated upon a name and managers of the
company.
It did not take the committee more than
five minutes to make its selections. It re
ported the name of The Chatham County
Cotton Factory Association. The board of
directors named was:
J. L. Whatley, John Schwarz,
Wm. Garrard, R. B. Harris,
J. B. Withers. B. H. Levy,
J. T. Rowland, F. S. L itbrop,
W. L. Wilson, H. C. Davis,
E. J. Kennedy.
The report was unanimously adopted.
Several of the members of the. board
named were not present, but had previously
signified their inteutio i of co-operating
with the enterprise and taking stock.
THE PLAN OP ORGANIZATION.
Mr. Wilson presented the following reso
lution, whioh was adopted:
Resolved. That the board of directors shall
elect a president aud vioe president from its
members, and aleo elect a secretary and treas
urer.
2. That the president appoint from the stock
holders a committee of five, of which he shall
be chairman, to prepare a constitution and by
laws ft r the association—to report at a meet
ing ot tne association to oe called by the presi
dent for action thereon. And that the president is
hereby authorized to tase such steps as he suall
deem nocessary to procure a ctiarter for the
association from the courts.
8. That the board of directors are hereby
constituted a committee on subscriptions to tne
stock of the association, and that books for
subscriptions be opeued at once.
COL. GARRARD’S SPEECH.
The chairman stated that the meeting
was open for remarks upon the object of
the association. Calls were made for CoL
William Garrard, to which he responded,
his remarks being, in substance, as follows:
"1 know very little about cotton factories
except in a general way, but I foel consid
erable interest in tuis project. There is no
reason why a cotton factory should not pay
in Savannah. It has been demonstrated at
Columbus that water power is no longer
desirable where cheap steam power can be
obtained. A steam mill is now being
erected at Columbus by a ootn
pany owuing a water power mill, when
it could just as easily have been built right
on the river bank. Coal is now delivered
in Columbus at $2lO per ton. There is no
reason why it should not be delivered in
Savannah for less thau $8 per ton.
“Cotton can be had as cheaply here as it is
possible to get it anywhere, and from the
immense amount of cotton brought here it
would be easy to select the most suitable
grades at the lowest prices. There
is no reason why a steam
cottcn mill should not pay as well here as
*t Columbus, and the mills there pay fine
dividends. Old mills there are now erect
ing new ones out of their dividend. Im
mense fortunes have been made in Savan
nah, but what good has it done the oltyl
We can all count up numbers of men who
have made fortunes here and spent them
elsewhere. We need manufactures, here to
keep the money at home.”
In conclusion Col. Garrard said he would
do all in his power to make the enterprise a
success.
STARTING THK SUBSCRIPTIONS.
The chairman called upon H. C. Davis.
Mr. Davis said; "Mr. Chairman, I have a
very long speech on this subjeot, which I
know these gentlemen are all anxious to
hear, but I think the best speech I can make
is to move that the subscription book be
opened at once, aud let us begin work right
hare.”
Mr. Davis’ suggestion was adopted, and
the subscription book was opened.
Mr. vVhatley headed the list with a sub
scription of twenty-live shares.
U . L. Wilson came next with five share*,
followed by John Sullivan & Cos., five, and
F. S. Lathrop five.
W. G. Woodfin put down ten.
Mr. Davis carried the book around
among those present and a great many
subscribed from one to five shares each. A
number of others promised to subscribe
later on. Within a few minutes Mr. Davis
announced that be bad received subscrip
tions amounting to |45,000.
NEARLY $60,000 SUBSCRIBED.
A gentleman sitting near the chairman
took the book and subsonbed for two shares
making the total amount subscribed $44,-
500. Tb is announcement was greeted with
applause
A number of gentlemen interested in the
enterprise who were net present at the meet
* have guaranteed twenty-five or thirty
shares more, making the total amount sub
scribed to date $160,000.
A number who subscribed stated that
they would very probably double their sub
scriptions a little later.

CAUGHT IN THS ACT.
Clerks Suspected of Stealing at tbe
, Central Railroad Wharves.
John Waldoer, a white laborer at tbe
Ocean Steamship Company’s wharves, was
caught stealing hats from a vase on the
wharf night before last, and was arrested
by Officer Quinn and taken to the barracks.
On examination before Mayor Schwarz
yesterday morning he was turned over to
the eity court on a charge of simple
larceny.
A case of liquor was found broken open
veeterday morning at the wharf, ai.d sev
eral bottles were missing. On investigation
Superintendent of Terminals Morgan found
that several of the clerks had been drinking
considerable whisky Monday night, and lie
determined to sift mat:ers and see if there
was any oonnection between the clerks,
drinking aad the stolen liquor. He sum
moned four suspected young men to his
office yesterday afternoon, and. after an
examination, exonerated them from the
susoieion of larceny that had been enter-
tained.
During the progress of tbe hearing, how
ever, numerous serious irregularities and
case* of negligence on the part of tne clerks
were brought out that will have considera
tion by the officers of the company at an
tarly day. Tae clerks claimed to have
gotten their liquor up town Monday after
noon.
Many ugly rumors were floating about
the city during t e afternoon in regard to
the matter, one of them being that the pri
vate lockers of the four suspected parties
had been opened by the officers and numer
ous missing articles discovered therein, but
this was denied by Supt. Morgan.

TEB PORT SOCIETY CONCERT.
A Big Crowd In Attendanoe— A Neat
Sum Realized.
Tbe seaman's reading rooms were filled
last night by a floe audience, which enjoyed

paying the expenses of future concerts
during the winter, and also in making nec
essary additi >ni to the reading matter and
furniture of the ro mi.
The programme was varied and highly
entertaining. Nearly every one on the pro

COL. FRANCIS L. DANCY.
Hlb Funeral to Take Place at Palatka
To-day.
CoL Francis L. Dancy, whose death at
his home on the St. Johns’ river, near
Palatka, Fla., on Monday was announced in
the Morning News yesterday, will be
buried in Palatka to-day.
CoL Dancy was in the 85th year
of his age. He was born in
Edgecombe county. North Carolina,
Feb. 6, 1806, and graduated at the United
States West Point Military Academy in
1827, He was later engage lin the military
operations against the Indians in Florida.
He married at Bt. Augustine, Fla., in 1833,
Miss Florida Reid, who survives him. He
resigned bis commission in the army in
1885, and was for a time oommander of the
Florida state troops. Later be was mayor
of St. Augustine, and was surveyor general
of the United States for the state
of Florida for the four years just previous
to the war between the states.
He was a strong supporter of
tbe oonfederacy and an ardent friend
of Jefferson Davis. Since the war

of the orange and lemon, in which he met
with considerable success. He leaves a

two daughters, to mourn his loss.
PAY.NG IN TASKS SLOWLY.
The Rush Not Yet Begun at the Tax
collector’s Office.
Tax Collector J. J. MoGowan says that
tbe taxes are being paid very slowly, and
up to yesterday only a small proportion of
the total amount due had been paid. Very
few of :he large taxpayers have raid, and
only a small number of the business men of
the city are included among those who have
paid.
“They will wait until the last moment
and then come rushing In here in a crowd,
when it will be almost impossible to wait
upon them all," said Capt. McGowan.
The tax ooUector is anxious that the tax
payers should pay up promptly, as the
books close eaily in Deoember, and the time
remaining is just about suffloient to con
veniently handle the largo number who are
owing taxes. According to the law inter
est is charged at the rate of 7 per cent, after
the books close.
Parties who are required to pay poll tax
must pay their taxes now in order to regis
ter and vote in the January election. A
great many are under the impression thut
the poll tax iB only required of those who
wish to r gisier or vote, but this is a mis
take. The law requires the poll tax of
every male resident, citizen or foreigner,
betweon Ihe ages of 31 and 60, as tue tax is
levied for educational purposes.

There were only two arrests at the bar
racks up to 1:30 o’clock this morning. Both
pris ners were colored, and were charged
with the same offense, disorderly conduct.
The total fines in the mayor’s court yes
terday morning amounted to SSO. The
heaviest fine was again-t a negro named
James Britton, who was arrested by Officer
Deignan for creating a disturbance in tiie
store of Albert Dierks, who assaulted and
choked the arresting offioer. The mayor
fined him $22, with the alternative of going
to jail for forty-five days.
The escape gaspipe connected with the
elevator in the Odd Fellows’ building was
shut off last night at 7:15 o’olock to clean
some of the machinery. During the inter
val of fifteen minute* that was occupied in
the work the pipe became filled, and on
opening it the gas rushed out with a loud
noise, resembling an explosion. No dam
age was done, but the noise created con
siderable excitement in the neighborhood
and drew a large orowd of people.
Mrs. Joseph Costnan and Mrao. Ada Pierce

CAUGHT JUBT IN TIME.
A Mao Tries to Pass a ' Raised'' BUI
oo Ticket Agent Brewer.
Assistant ticket agent of the Central
railroad Brewer’s quick eye saved him $45
yesterday morning. He was selling tickets
in the office at the depot for the early
morning train. There was a crowd at the
window when a neatly dressed young man
•lipped in irons the wrong side of tbe rail
ing and asked for a ticket as if In a hurry,
bolding out a bill in bis band.
Mr. Brewer told him to go around on the
other side of the railing and take bis turn.
When it came his turn be called for a
ticket to Augusta and threw down a bill on
the window shelf, saying that be was in a
hurry. The bill was mutilated, the right
hand corner bei ig loro off, which attracted
Mr. Brewer’s attention, and he saw that
while the b 11 bore the figure “59" on its
face on the left hand, there was only a “V"
in the corner. In fact, it was a five dollar
bill which had been raised to a “fifty.”
Mr. Brewer quietly passed out $1 04, the
change for a $5 bid, and save the young
man a look in the face that gave him to un
derstand that be was “onto his little game.”
The stranger picked up his ohafige and
moved off without saying a word.
Mr. Brewer said that he would have
endeavored to have had the man arrest-d.
but there was no ore In the office excent
himself and no pel reman near by. Before
he could have shut down bis window
and gotten out of the office tbe man
would have hod plenty of time to get a way.
Tbo bill was shown to a Morning News
reporter. It made a good appearance at
first sight and '■ as calculated to deceive a
man on such an o casion as that upon which
it was offered to the ticket agent, but it was
really a clumsy piece of work.
The bill was a $5 silver certificate. A
piece of the right nand corner had b en torn
off, leaving just the edge of the “V” on the
corner visibla A cipher had been let into
the bill by tbe side of the figure five
on the left hand side of the bill,
making a very respeotable 50. The
work was not well done and there was a
tbicknes? where the olpher had been let In
and a slit where the jiaste had not taken
hold. A good look a’ the bill, however,
showed very plainly, the “V’s" in the Oor
ners aud the words “five dollars” on the
border. The bill can be redeemel at bank
for the $5 which the agent gave f r it. Tbe
sharper struck the wroag man, and is doubt
less thankful that he is still free.
THE W. O. T. U. CONVENTION.
The Preparations for the Great Gath
ering in Atlanta Next Month.
The animal convention of the National
Woman’- Christian Temperance Union will
bo held in Atlanta Nor. 14 to 18 inclusive.
In view of tbe custom of previously hold
ing a day of consecration and prayer, the
members of the Savannah u ion, both
honorary and active, are s;-eoially invited
to be present at the usual Thursday night
meeting of Trinity churoh, to unite with
the congregation in prayer and thanksgiv
ing for tbe cause.
Members of the union are urged to wear
tbe white i ibbon.
The u ion was invited to meet in Atlanta
by the governor, legislature, editors of the
press and tbe citizens generally, and it is ex
isted that at least 500 representatives will
be in attendance. Each s ate will tie repre
sented by its own delegation, bringing a
suitable and emblematic banner with ap
propriate mottoes. These for South Caro
lina aud Georgia are the handiwrrk of Miss
Lizzie Chapin, and show exqulite taste and
skill.
The South Carolina banner is made of the
finest and heaviest blue silk, about 4 by 3
feet in size, surrounded by a deep gold
fringe. Upon it is beautifully painted the,
palmetto. Above it in gold lettters are the
words: ‘‘South Carolina W. C. T. U.,” and
below ft the motto: “Dam epiro spero,
1862.” The flower emblem is the jasmine,
indicating the sentiment: “We cover
gnarled and scarred trunks with our foliage,
and shed beauty and perfume in lonely aud
desolate place?.”
The Georgia banner is about the same
size as that of South Carolina. It is made
of heavy white satin, upon whioh is painted
the coat of arms of the state, surmounted
by the letters “W. C. T. U. of Georgia,” in
gold, and the motto, “Suavitar in modo,
fortiter in re, 1882." Upon one side clam
bers the Cherokee rose with its thorns,
signifying "Prohibition,” on the other the
cotton plant, Georgia’s great staple.
The notable woman who is president of
not only the national but the world’s great
army of Christian temperance women, Miss
Frances E. VV iliard, is a shining mark for
opponents to their cause, and litely state
ments have been going the rounds of some
of < ur religious papers that she had accepted
a place in the nominations of the Reform
party. She writes under under date Evans
ton, 111., Sept. 6, “I have accepted no place
in the National Reform party. I have not
been invited. ”
Barnum Comes To-morrow.
“The Greatest Show on Earth” is in
Augusta to-day. It will arrive in Savannah
to-morrow morning on five trains over the
Central railroad and will pitch its tents on
the circus grounds on Whitaker street, south
of the City and Suburban railway depot.
The grounds are easy of access, being
reached by both the City and Suburban and
the Belt Lines.
It is not often that Savannah has as big
a show as Barnuin’s. In fact, there is only
one Barman's snow.
Speaking of its immensity the St James
Budget (London) says of it:
“Its true greatness is only to be realized in
the arena. A triple circus, tbe Paris hip
podrome, and all the music halls in com
bination, are tbe merest child’s play to it.
There are five, or, more accurately, three
rings and two stages; aud every ‘turn’
is five turns, all being occupied together.
Naturally, it is impossible to see all at
once. To see It all thoroughly It would be
nocessary to pay five visits, taking a differ
ent seat each time. The simultaneous per
formances are nothing less than bewilder
ing. ihe only hairy dwarf Burmese
elephant riding a tricycle. And this
elepuant ‘turn’ is but one of mauy—all of
which are eye-filling, and most of
which are more disconcerting, through
greater variety in the nature of the per
formance. Scarcely any form of skilled
training is unrepresented. There are per
forming cows, seals, camels, donkeys, mon
keys, bears, dogs, elephauts and pigeons;
there are acrobats, contortionists, wire
walkers, skaters, clowns, boxers. But tne
w. ole list is a fairly staggering one, and
bare-backed riders are as plentiful os om
nibuses. Everything is suprisingly num
erous. The feat of the gentleman, how
ever, who stands on one of five h rues har
nessed together tandem wise, and ridis the
whole party over hurdles at. a furious pace,
is both novel and striking.”

EXCITED PEOPLE AT A FIRE.
They Made Things Lively for a Tatt
nall Street Man.
During the fire Monday morning at No.
88 Tattnall street an amusing incident oc
curred at the residence of Mr. Jooob Rohr,
foreman of the Morning News bindery,
who occupies the house adjoining the one
in which the fire originated.
The smoke went through the roof and
poured out in vo’umes from the windows
of his house, and his friends, thinking that
the place was on fire, rushed in, and
despite Mr. Rohr’s protests that there
was no fire in his house, com
menced to throw his h usehold furniture
into tbe street. One man, in his anxiety to
save Mr. Rohr’s property, picked up a bas
ket filled with crockery and tossed it out of
the second-story window, breaking things
generally. Another one grabbed a cage,
in which was a canary bird, and
sent it flying after the basket of crockery.
Fortu lately the cage struck in the soft
sand, and the bird was uninjured.
Mr. Rohr, however, is very thankful for
the display of friendship, arid he said that
while they did not show much judgment,
he was satisfied their intentions were of the
best character.

Itadam's Microbe Killer Cos., Nashville,

Gentlemen—l will say in behalf of Mi
crobe Killer that my sales, as you know,
are increasing every day, and with the large
amount I have sold, not one person has
been dissatisfied nor said that your medi
cine has uot done what it is recommended
to do. It smply works miracles. It has
cured patients that doctors have given up
to die. It has, to my certain knowledge,
cured consumption, dropsy, catarrh, and .s
--pepsia, rheumatism, asthma, scrofula, kid
ney trouble and b onchial trouble. I will
send you any amou.t of testimonials if you
went them. I think it is the greatest medi

The Appraisers Did Agree.
Editor Morning News: The appraisement
of the land for a right of way, etc., between
George Parsons ana Henry Ambos was
made under a written agreement between
the parties for an exchange) of land. The
agreement provided that a majoritv of the
appraiser* might decide the matter,"and the
appraisers rendered a decision fixing the
difference in favor of Ambos at $6 0. This
matter had been under submission for seven
! months, and tbe appraiser? had to bestow a
great deal f time and attention upon the
matter, their last sitting consuming the best
part of two days, without an adjournment
for dinner. When the dissenting appraiser
declined to receive compensation one of the
other appraisers was heard to jocularly re
mark that perha;s if he was adequate to the
vast possibilities in raising p.tat >e of the
very clever and generous gentleman who
declined compensation be, too, might afford
to be generous. Thunderbolt.

terminate in bolls. While traveling in the south

and to my surprise it helped me so much that I
got six bottles more. and. after taking the full
contents, I felt better than I had since the be
ginning of my trouble, and, while I have no
symptoms of the disease returning, lam still
using the wonderful blood medicine at intervals,
and am fully satisfied that I will be entirely
cured of a disease that for flfieeo years has
troubled me. I cannot express my gratitude to
you for so wonderful a bene.'actor a* your P. P.
