The regatta of the Savannah Yaoht Club
at Thunderbolt was a most successful event
The day was a perfect one, with a fair
wind blowing, and everybody was imbued
with the spirit of the occasion.
Tbs Ocean Queen ran completely away
from all the other yaolits, and won in her
class by two hours, six minutes and ten sec-
onds.
A big crowd left the city on the Eliza
Hancux at 9:30 o’clock, and the steamboat
anchored off tba club bouse for about an
hour before the race began. A band of
music stationed on board discoursed musio
to pass away the time.
The tug Maggie bad on board the judges,
W. I). Simkius, T. P. Bond, J. L. YValthour
and Allan Hunter, and a representative of
the Morning News.
START OF THE RACK.
It was 13 o’clock before things wore
gotten in readiness for the start. At 12:05
o’clock the signal was given by the tug
whistle. Two minutes after the Kldiva
crossed the line, followed a minute later by
the Glance. Ten seconds behind the Glance
was the Ocean Queen. As soon as the first
class boats crossed the line the second class
was started. The Mascotte was first, fol
lowed by the Marie, Zinga and Flying
Dutchman, all bunched together.
The third class came next, with the little
Undine In the lead. The Osprey, Nomad,
Cora and Quickstep crossed the line within
a few seoouds of each other.
The start was a good one and as the
yachts passed down tbe river they made a
pretty sight, with all their canvass set to
the wind. The tug Maggie and the Haucox
followed closely in the wake of the raoers.
THE ELDIVa’k FIN* START.
The Eldiva held a good lead until after
the first turn, with the Glance and Ocean
Queen almost side by side. Tbe superior
seamanship of (apt. Den ere soon showed
itself in the work of the Ocean Queen. She
passed tbe Giauce and Eldiva and cut
through the water almost as fast as
a steamer. In half an hour
she was at least half a mile in the
lead. The Queen continued her remark
able speed, and it was evident to every one
that the race,os far as first money was" con
cerned, was a sure thing for her. At 2:37:10
she rounded the buoy many miles
in advance of her competitors, and started
back on her return voyage. She passed
the Glance and Eldiva struggling hard to
get to the turning point, and was anchored
at the club house before either of the other
two first class boats reached the buoy. It was
the worst beat ever made in a Thunderbolt
regatta.
THE ZINGA A WINNER.
The Zinga of the second class closely fol
lowed the Ocean Queen and rounded the
buoy at 2:51:20. Bne is a very fast boat,
and it looked for quite awhile as if she
would beat even the Ocean Queen.
The Marie of the second c.ass also passed
tbe Glance and Eldiva, but she had a bard
time In getting arouud the bnoy. Twice
she got within forty feet of it, bat had to
put about each time and take on anew
tack. Finally she headed straight out tbe
sound and managed to round it by a long
•weep at 4:00:30.
THE GLANCE IN SECOND.
The Glance anil the Eldiva were now left
alone to battle for second prise. The latter
had a good lead, but as the boats neared the
buoy the wind di?d out, and the Glance
gained on her. Soveral times each tacked
for the buoy, but couldn’t nuke it. Both
followed the tactics of the Marie, but they
bad a much harder job on hand. Several
times they almost fouled each other in try
ing to get to the buoy. Finally, tbe Eldiva
swung across the bow of the
Glance to get to the buoy, but
the Glance met the movement by putting
about and rucnlug alongside. The excite
ment tjow began to run high, both vachts
were slmoet even, but tbe Glance had the
best of it on account of being inside. They
began drifting back when near the buoy,
and everybody looked for one to foul the
other.
THE COMMODORE’S YACHT.
Commodore Lathrop, who was sailing the
Glance, however, kept a close watch on his
rival and prevented anything of the kind.
The wind freshened up about this time and
the Glance shot ahead of the yacht
which up to that time had
led her with a rapidity
which was unlooked for. As soon as she was
well clear of the Eldiva she put about and
passed the buoy at 4:42:40,2 hours, 5 minutes
and 80 seconds behind the Ocean Queen.
The Eldiva rounded at 4:44:25, with the
Glance leading a quarter of a mile. An ex
cellent wind was blowing on the return
trip, and the crew of the Eldiva put forth
their greatest energies to catch up with the
Glance, which had been behind her up to
the time of reaching the buoy. It was all
to no purpose, though, for the Glance never
lost a foot of the advantage which she had
fought so hard for.
The race back to the olub house was a
quicK one. The Glance crossed the line at
6:19:35 and the Eldiva at 6:22:20. The
former won second place by 10 minutes
and 20 seconds.
The third-class race was won by the
Undine. The little craft never lost the
lead from the start to the finish. At one
time she ran for quite a distanoe with the
craft of the second-dugs, and her remarka
ble speed attracted the attention of all
the spectators.

THE“.NEW PUBLIC PUILDING.
The Government Wants Proposal* to
Sell It a Site.
Tbe first step toward the seleotion of a
new site for the public building is tbe ad
vertisement in the Morning News to-day
for proposals for the sale of a site. A corner
lot, approximating 186 feet front by 136
feet in dimensions, is preferred. If not a
corner lot the propertv must approximate
22J feet front by 136 feet in dimensions, or
containing superficial area equivalent
thereto.
Each proposal must be made with the un
derstanding and agreement that, if it is
accepted, the building* and all improve
ments on tbe property are to be retained
end removed within thirty days by the
vender, end that all expenses connected
with furnishing evidence ot title and deed*
of oonveyanco are to lie paid by the vender.
Each proposal must be sccompanied by a
properly drawn diagram, giving the metes
and bounds of tbe property, and showing
the streets around the blook in which the
property is situated; also, by a written
statement In regard to the grades, character
of ground for foundation, etc.
A commission will open the bids and will
recommend a site to the treasury depart
ment.
.SONS OF THE REVOLUTION.
A Society Organized in Savannah
With Col. John Screvan President.
A number of gentlemen met at the Guards'
armory last night pursuant to a call to or
ganize a state society of the Patriotic Sons
of the Revolution.
Dr. J. G. Bulloch was oalled to tbe ohair.
It was resolved to organize under the name
of the Society of the Sons ofthe Revolution.
It was decided to elect only a president and
secretary at tbe meeting and postpone the
election of tbe other officers to a subsequent
meeting.
Col. John Screven was unanimously elect
ed president and William Harden was
elected secretary. Tbe constitution of the
general society of the United States was
adopted.
Tbe meeting adjourned subject to the call
ot tbe president.
Tbe promoters of the movement have se
cured a number of namee for membership.
They are confident of obtaining a large
membership for the society here, as
there are a great many people in Savan
nah, who, by reason of their descent from
ancestors who served In the army, navy or
oivil service of the American states during
the revolutionary war, are eligible to mem
bership.
OBJECTED TO BEING ARRETTED.
Pat Lynch Gives Two Officers a
Lively Tussle.
A lively fight took piece on Congress
street, near Whitaker, last night about 6
o’clock, between Deputy City SherifT Con
stantine, Constable Jake Nathans and Pat
Lynoh, a Montgomery street grocer.
The fight was a bloody one. Under an
attachment issued in favor of Ehrlich Bros.
Nathaus levied upon the stock of grooeriea
in Lynch’s store yesterday, and, being in
formed that Lynch was making preparations
to leave the city, his bondsmen gave him
up. Deputy City Sheriff Constantine was
sent out to arrest him. He met Lynch on
Congree* street with a member of tbe
Ehrlich firm. Lynoh did not want to go
with the offioer, and made some resist
ance.
Constable Nathans came to the deputy
sheriff’s help, and a lively fight ensued.
Lynch it a powerful man, but tbe officers
managed to subdue him, and he was taken
to ths barracks and put in a cell for the
night.
AT THE COURTS.
Items Picked Up Gere and There In the
Court Rooms.
Deputy Sheriff P. L. Constantine levied
upon the stock of Charles Hollander &
Sons, on Congress street, opposite the
Chatham Dime Bank, yesterday morning
under an attachment sued out by Alexander
C. Rogers. An officer was placed in charge,
but the firm was not prevented from carry
ing on its business. A boud was soon given,
and the officer was withdrawn. A auit is
the probable result.
The superior court will adjourn to-day
for tho term.
The cases of the Sunday law violators was
postponed yesterday until Tuesday morn
ing.
A STORM OFF THE COAST.
The Signal Bureau Hoists the Infor
mation Signal.
A storm is threatening off the coast. The
following telegram was received from the
central signal office at Washington at 10:30
o’clock last night:
Ilolst “Information’’ signal at 10:30 o’clock
p. m. Havannah, Savannah section: storm ap
pears to be developing off the Florida coast.
Dangerous for vessels sailing south.
The Free Night School.
The free night school will close next Fri
day night. Supt. Baker said last night that
the school has been a moat gratifying suc
cess. The teachers have worked hard, and
they have baen rewarded by seeing their
efforts appreciated. The school, which had
at one time an attendance of 150, has
drop;ied down now to about 100. Many
boys who were able to attend the school
two mouths ago are not able to attend
now. The results of the school show how
the teachers’ and board of education’s ideas
have been taken hold of.
Sunday School Plonic.
The annual picnic of the First Presby
terian Church Sunday school will take place
on Friday next. Wilmington Island has
been selected as the place, and no prettier
spot could haTe been found. The Crescent
City has been secured and will leave her
wharf at 9 o’clock, and connect with
Thunderbolt trains. The advertisement
elsewhere will give particulars.
Luna's Eollpae To-day.
A total eclipse of the moon will take
place to-day—the day of the May full moon.
The eollpse is not visible in this latitud e
although it is quite generally visible
throughout the western part of the Pacific
ocean, Australia, Asia, Africa, and
the time of the total eclipse one hour auu
twenty minutes.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1891.
JOLLY KNIOSTB OF PYTHIAR.
They Give Oen. r a-nsbsn a Warm
Welcome to Savannah.
Maj. Gen. Carnahan of Indianapolis,
commander of the Uniform Rank of the
Knights of Prthias of America, and Su
preme Representative J. B. Braytcn of
Rhode Island, arrived in the city yesterday
et noon from Jacksonville. They were met
by a committee of the local knights, and
were escorted to the De Soto.
The visitors were allowed a short time to
refresh themselves, after which they were
taken in hand by a party consisting of CoL
R. F. Harmon, R. R. Richards, Esq., Capt.
G. P. Walker, Capt. John Juchter and T.
J. Davis, and shown tbe city and suburbs
They were taken to tbe Ocean steamship
wharves, at the magnitude of which they
expressed surprise, through tbe parks, with
which they were delighted, and out to
Thunderbolt, where the usual hospitalities
were extended.
The meeting last night at Knights of
Pytnias hall was -Nell attended. Col. Har
mon had tbe battalion drawn up in liue in
front of the ball at 8 o'clock, and when
Gen Carnahan and Mr. Brayton arrived,
a short while later, under the escort of R.
R. Richards, Esq., tbe battalion seated.
The salute was returned by Gen. Carnahan.
The battalion then returned to ths hall and
was seated on the left of the presiding officer,
the ununiformed members being seated on
tbe right.
Grand Chancellor W. T. laopold pre
sided. Gen. Carnahan was introduced by
the grand obauoellor. He spoke for above
half an hour. He said that he had visited a
good many cities uefore and since his con
nection with the Knights ot Pythias, but
tbe hardest fellows to get away from were
the Georgians. When he got to Atlanta
he was taken in hand by the Knights of
Pythias men there. He was in Atlanta in
1864 iu company with a number of other
gentlemen from his section, and he iiad in
tended to look up some of the old holes
around there where he used to hide, but he
never had time to look up any of them. He
had heard a good deal of Brunswlok and
expeoted to take a thorough survey of the
little city, but he wes taken In hand by the
crowd there and he never saw anything of
Brunswick at all except ths line of
knights between tbe Oglethorpe hotel and
tbe Knights of Pythias ball. He thought
he would see Jacksonville while be was
south, but the same experience wee repeated
there. A party of Georgians and Floridians
met them at the train, and took them in
charge until about 2 o’clock that night.
They got up at 5 o'clock the next morning
to take the train for Savannah, reached
here at noon, were met by a delegation of
the Knights of Pythias and bad been in
their charge until the time for the meeting
almost.
Gen. Carnahan said ha had heard a great
deal of Savannah, but sinoe coming here
and seeing Us beautiful streets and parks,
its elegant residences and fine bueiuess
buildings, and seeing how far appearances
had exceeded all expectations, he could say,
as the Queen of Sheba once said on a certain
occasion, that the half had not been told.
Gen. Carnahan sp ke very encouragingly
of the future proepecta of the order, and es
pecially of lte prospects for the younger
men who are connocted with it. He said
that the Knights of Pythias had done
more than all the churches and ail the
preachers, more than all the newspapers
and more than all the congresses, to bring
together the people of this country and units
them in ties of friendship. The Knights of
Pythias, iie said, was an organization com
posed neither of the rich nor the powerful,
but of the great middle class, the suDport
and mainstay of the country.
Gen. Carnahan spoke at some length upon
the good work of the order. He said that
the organization hod spent some 816,000,000
in its work since it was first organized in
1867. He very strongly advocated the uni
form rank.
Supreme Representative Brayton was
next introduced by the grand chancellor,
and delivered a lengthy speech upon the
principles and workings of the order. He
said that the Knights of Pythias was an
American order, and afterward,in explana
tion, he said that it was a white man’s
order, and no connection or affiliation with
the negro was desired. He said that the
the negro bad neither the intelligence nor
the capability necessary for the proper con
ception and execution of the principles of
ths order. He recommended that the pre
tensions of those oalliug themselves the
colored Knights of Pythias bo entirely
ignored. Hi* remarks were received with
applause.
Grand Chancellor Leopold was called
upon, and spoke a few sensible words.
CoL R. F. Harmon was oalled for, but
did not respond.
Lieut. Charlee A Cox responded to a call,
as did several others of the officers of the dif
ferent lodges.
The next meeting of the grand lodge and
annual conclave of the uniform division of
tbe Knights of Pythias will meet in Savan
nah. CoL Harmon said last night that he
expected to have a brigade present
then, instead of a regiment, as at Bruns
wick. Ho has been promised uniform divis
ions from Waycross. Bainbridge, Albany
and Amerlous. The uniform rank Is grow
ing in popularity, and CoL Harmon may
count upon a brigade at the next conclave
with some degree of assurance.

STILL HANGING FIRE.
THE CENTRAL’S LEASE A THING
OF THE FUTURE YET.
Gen. Alexander fays It Will be Some
lime Before it is Perfected—The
Centra.’b Plane for the Chattanooga,
Rome and Columbus—No Immediate
Change In the Road's Management—
Tte Work on the Wrlgbtsville Cut
Off-The distance Between Bavan
rah and Macon to be Shortened
Thirty Miles by It.
Geo. E. P. Alexander returned yesterday
morning from New York. In reference to
the Central’s lease to tbe Georgia Pacific,
he said it has not yet been completed.
“A great deal of work was done toward
that end during my stay in New York,”
Gsd. Alexander added, “but there are a
number of details to be completed
yet. There are to many differ
ent interests at stake and so
many representatives of different
lines aud different boards of directors, all
of whom must have tbe matter fully ex
plained to them in order to reach a satisfac
tory understanding, and to many arrange
ments to be mode that it will be some time
yet before the lease is completed.”
“It will be made, will it not?”
“The lease will certainly be made; I can’t
say exactly when, but it will be made.”
“On the same terms?”
“Practioally tbe tame terms that have
already teen announced.”
The lease, as was announced some time
ago, is by the Richmond Terminal Company
through the Georgia Pacific, the Richmond
Terminal Company guaranteeing the pay
ment of all bonds and 7 per oent, interest
on the stock.
TH* CENTRAL’S NEW PURCHASE.
In reference to the Chattanooga, Rome
and Columbus railroad, Gen. Alexander
confirmed its purchase by the Central. Tbe
road was bought by the Savannah and
Western and will be made a continuation of
that division. The terms wars the same as
published several days ago, the Central pay
log 8400,600 for the stock and Income bonds
which control the road and indorsing an issue
of about 82,240.000 of bonds. There has
been no change in the management yet, tbe
road being run by President John D. Will,
iamson and ths same officials as before tbe
purchase.
President Williamson will probably con
tinue with the road, either as superintend
ent or general manager.
The Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus
will be under the direct control of the Cen
tral, just the same as any other of its lines.
The Central now has a line ot its own into
Chattanooga only a few miles longer than
by its connections.
TO BE NEWLY EQUIPPED.
Gen. Alexander said that as soon as the
new route has been put in good order the
Central’s traffic from Chattanooga to
Savannah will be brought via the
Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus.
The Savannah, Griffin and North
Alabama railroad, which is the con
necting link between the Central and the
Chattanooga, Koine and Columbus, needs
relaying with steel rails. A through
passenger schedule from Savannah to
Chattanooga will also be arranged as soon
as the road baa been put In good condition.
It may be some time before these arrange
ments are completed, but in a few months
at most Savannah will have direct freight
and passenger conneotion with Chattanooga
and lhe west.
THE WRIOHTSVILLE CUT-OFF.
“What about the building of the road via
Wrightsville to shorten the Central’s line
to Macon?” Gen. Alexander was asked.
"That has been tbe plan of the Central
for some time,” he replied. "It is our In
tention to build a line from Ellabel, ou the
Havannah and Western, to Oconee, on the
main line, a distance of about eighty miles.
This will shorten the distance between
Savannah and Macon about thirty miles.
Part of this line has already been surveyed
and graded, and is now ready for the rails.
This portion will be completed shortly. A
survey will soon be made of the remainder
of the line.
“This line,” said Gen. Alexander, “is tbe
shortest line that can be built from Savan
nah to Macon, and will not deviate from an
air line ten miles at any point. It will
make the distance to Macon about 160
miles, instead of 192, as at present.
WILL BE THE MAIN LINK.
“After its completion it will naturally be
come tbe main line of tbe Central between
Savannah and Macon. Its building will not
be very expensive, as it runs parallel with
the rivers and obviates the necessity of
bridging. At Oconee, where tt will join
the main line, it will have the use of the
Central bridge over the Oconee river.
“A short fine to Atlanta could thus be
built,” said Gen. Alexander, “from Ooonee
to Milledgeviile aud from Eatonton to
Atlanta.”
Gen. Alexander said the work upon the
Wrightsville short line will be pushed, but
he could not tell how long it will be before
it will be completed.

SPRINGFIELD'S COMMENCEMENT.
Closing Exercises of Effingham
County’s Academy.
The closing exercises of Prof. Thomas
Walsh's pupils at the Springfield
academy came off this week, and were one
of the most delightful entertainments given
for many years at this old Institution.
The entertainment was held in the Effing
ham county court house, which was densely
packed, and the audience was enthusiastic
in its appreciation of the pupil’s efforts.
The length of the programme precludes a
separate notice for each participant. It was:
Music by the entire school.
Little Emma Berry, "The Blue and the Gray.”
Bowman Wingard, "I Can't and I Can."
Bong by the school, finely rendered.
Willie Wingard, "The Open Bose.”
Jessee Usher, "How to Cure a Cold.”
Miss Nettie Ilinely,piano solo.
Music by the scuool.
Daisy onearouee, "How a Song Saved a Soul.”
Miss Ollie Hinely. “Little Jim.’’
Jerome Shearouse, "After the Battle."
Flag drill by a dozen young misses.
Music by the school.
Bessie Kerry, “Katie and Willie Gray."
Arline Basher, “Daughter of Herodias."
Ralph Shearouse, “How to Go to Sleep.’'
“Ba Be.” the school.
Lula Berry, “Maude Muller.”
Miss Anna Keiffer, “Independence Bell."
Mamie Wingard, “The Widow and Her Only
Child"
Walter Nease, original speech.
Music by the school.
Hattie Shearouse, "Naughty Girls’ Life at the
Hotel.’'
Miss Florence Keiffer, address; good.
Miss Luclle Shearouse. "Guilty or Not Guilty!"
Miss Fannie Hagan, “How Girls Study.”
George Usher, speech of Patrick Henry.
“Father of His Country," by the school.
Little Lonie Hinely, recitation.
Rowland Secinger, "As Washington's Son."’
Robert Tebeau, speech.
One of the moßt interesting features of
the evening was the oontest for the medal
offered by Prof. Walsh for the best elocu
tionist. The committee, composed of Col.
Wright, Prof. Bird and Mr. Reisser, after
consultation, awarded the prize to Ralph
Shearouse, a bright young lad, a son of C.
W. Shearouse, Esq. The committee, in
making the award, stated that when all
did so well it was by no means an easy
matter to arrive at a just conclusion.
The following young misses deserve
special mention for the prompt and efficient
manner in which they performed their
several parts: Misses Mamie Wingard,
Fannie Hagan, Arline Dasher, Lucile, Daisy
and Hattie Shearouse, Lula, Bessie and
Emma Berry, Ollie and Laura Hinely;
Masters Walter Nease, George Usher. Ralph
Shearouse and Rowland Secinger.
Prof. Walsh was most happy in the selec
tion of the pieces and was untiring in his
efforts to give the people in and around
Springfield an entertainment worthy of his
best efforts. He was assisted by Mrs. A. J.
Shearouse, a lady of many accomplish
ments. Mrs. J. J. Hinely presided over the
refreshment tables and was in demand on
all sides.
When the programme ended it was at a
late hour; still the crowd did not show any
signs of fatigue, so interested had it become
in the songs and recitations.
At the close of tbe entertainment Judge
Pittman, in a neat little speech, presented
the medal and took occasion to commend
the professor and the school. In the ex
aminations during the day the pupils dis
played great proficieuoy.

The Camden, (N. J.) Post gives the follow
ing account of the launching on Monday of
the new sohooner building in Camden for
Savannah trade: “Hundreds of people
witnessed the launch of the Jennie Thomas,
at Morris & Mathis’ ship yard. The launch
occurred at 11:10 o’clock at high water. The
vessel’s deck was packed with people from
among the best element of the town. All
the pennant signals known nautically,
floated in the zephyrs from the heads of
stays ereoted for that purpose, and a large
pennant with the vessel’s name floated over
the deck, while the stars and stripes waved
over her stern. Mrs. J. C. Doerphlev
christened the vessel with a ribbon-decorated
bottle of wine as she slipped off the ways
into the choppy Delaware. Cheers
arose from those on board
and the mass on the shore. A number of
nautical men from Philadelphia and else
where were present at the lauuch. The Jen
nie Thomss is a four-masted schooner, 145
feet keel, 36 feet beam and 16 feet hold.
Her tonnage is about 1,000 tons.
She Is built for Capt. Townsend Young and
is owned by Savannah parties and the
builders, the Messrs. Morris & Mathis.
She is to be used for the general coasting
trade and will carry lumber between Phila
delphia, Baltimore and Savannah. The
oost of the vessel is $40,000.’’ The vessel will
be brought here about the middle of next
month.

Rail and crosstik
A case docketed years ago will come to
Atlant next week. The case is that
of Gand and Reaves et. al. versus the North
eastern railroad. The plaintiffs represent a
large number of stockholders of the North
eastern railroad and bring the suit to have
a large amount of the bonds of that rail
road invalidated. The point at issue is the
validity of $815,000 of bonds of the North
eastern railroad and $75,000 of floating
debt. The Richmond and Danville leased
the Northeastern and now operates it.
Sinoe the combination of the two roads,
these bonds were made by tbe Northeastern
the floating debt also created. Tbe
plaintiffs claim that if it were not
for these illegal bonds and floating
debt the earnings of the road are
such as to increase the value of the
stock and make it pay dividends. There
fore they bring the suit and ask that the
bonds and debt created and made since the
combination of tbe two roads be declared
invalid. The defendants claim on the other
hand that the bonds and debt are perfectly
fair and legal. These are the leading ques
tions to be tried. The parties defendant to
the proceedings are tbe Northeastern rail
road, the Richmond and Danville railroad,
the West Point Terminal Company, and
the Central Trust Compauy of Now York.
The East T ennessee may not withdraw
from the Southern Passenger association
after all. In fact, it looks os if the officials
of that road did not know their own minds
in tho premises. Official notice from Vico
President Fink has been served on the asso
ciation, extending the time of withdrawal
thirty days. A circular has been sent out
from Commissioner Slaughter, announcing
the fact that the East Tennessee had a-ked
that its withdrawal from the Southern
Passenger Association be postponed for
thirty days. The circular created some
thing of a sensation in railroad circles. It
was freely discussed, but no body seemed
to understand what it meant. The East
Tennessee’s original notice of withdrawal
from the Southern Pasaecger Association,
which was served on April 2*3 last, was
from the first the subject of considerable
speculation. Several rumors were afloat that
it was simply a bluff on the part of the
East Tennessee to gain an entrance to the
union depot, and other rumors of similar
caliber were freely circulated among rail
road gossips. But all charges of bluffing
were promptly denied by tbe East Tennes
see people, who said they meant business;
that withdrawal from the association had
been contemplated for some time, and that
the notice was given after duo considera
tion. Another theory was that the notice
of withdrawal had been served because of a
difficulty or misunderstanding of some sort
in getting oertain rates which the East
Tennessee wanted to put on.
J. D. Watkins, Blakely, Ga., writes; “Old
sores covered my entire person and itched
intensely night and day. For several
months I could not work at all. I com
menced the use of Botanic Blood Balm and
began to grow better the first week, and am
now sound and well, free from sores and
itching, and at work again.’’—Ad.
