FIXING UP THE TICKETS.
The Factions Getting Themselves
Ready tor the Primary.
Chairman Charlton Waiting- for the
Resignations of the Oommitteemen-
Elect From the City Districts—The
Gubernatorial Delegates—Col. Les
ter Solid.
The political pot which has been only j
slightly bubbling for the last several |
days will begin to boil in earnest again ,
this week. Both factions will put in con- ;
siderable,work in selecting their tickets
and the tickets will probably be ready for
publication by the end of the week.
There is a good deal of curiosity to
know who will compose the tickets for
the two sides. It is safe to say that the
majority of those who were candidates of
the respective factions at the mass meet
ings will be upon the tickets for the pri
mary. As there are only twenty-livo
places upon the executive committee un
der the conference arrangement, as
against thirty-three under the old ar
rangement. somebody must be left off,
and there are likely to be some heart
burnings on both sides. It is a question
with the factions whether it will be wise
to have any name appear twice on the
same ticket. Some of those who were
candidates for members of the executive
committee will be candidates for other
offices at the primary. As their strength
was relied upon to a considerable extent
to pull the ticket through, it will be a
nice question for the factions to decide.
WAITING rOR THE RESIGNATIONS.
Chairman Charlton has not yet received
the resignations of either the Tammany
men or the candidates of the Citizens
Club, who claim to have been elected
members of the executive committee at
the mass meetings. Each side appears
to be holding back and waiting for the
other to hand in its resignations
in order to make sure that no
trick will be played upon them
by their opponents. The resignations of
both factions’ candidates will probably
come in a bunch this week however, as
soon as each side feels sure of the good
faith of the other. Both dubs will hold
meeting this week at which the questions
of the resignations will be acted upon.
The chairman has already received the
resignations of all the country members,
albof whom were actually elected mem
bers of>tho committeo and could have as
serted their rights had they been in
clined to do so.
HEN. EVANS’ RETIREMENT.
The retirement of Gen. Evans from the
gubernatorial race removes one issue
from the primary. Each side, however,
will nominate its own men for guberna
torial delegates, and it will be merely a
question of which set of delegates the
voters prefer to have cast the vote of the
county for Mr. Atkinson. A compromise
ticket for gubernatorial delegates com
posed of three from each side has been
spoken of. but does not meet with favor
from either side. This will be a club is
sue entirely.
The registration list has been carefully
gone over by representatives of both fac
tions since it was issued, and the strength
of each side calculated upon. The result
is as might have been expected. Each
side is confident, or claims so, that It has
a safe majority of the registered voters.
The Tammany men who have been
going over the list appear to be
very well satisfied with what they found
there, and their opponents of the Citizens
Club, say the same thing. The actual
status of the two factions will not be
ascertained until after the primary.
ALL LESTER MEN.
The delegates to the congressional con
vention upon both tickets are likely to be
pronounced Tester men. No doubt there
are a number of gentlemen who would
like to step into Col. raster's shoes, but
none of them have felt strong enough to
make their desires manifest. As the time
that will elapse before the primary is
held is brief, there is not much chiince
for an opposition candidate to get into
the field and rally enough strength to
capture the delegation.
It has been suggested that a meeting of
the democrats of the county should be
called either before or after the primary
to express Chatham county’s choice for
state house officers. Hon. William Clif
ton would get a hearty indorsement for
secretary of state from the meeting and
so would doubtless Hon. K. T. Nesbitt,
the present commissioner of agri
culture, who Is a candidate for re-elec
tion, and who appears to be a favorite in
Chatham county. The congressional del
egates would also be instructed for Col.
Lester as a matter of form. As the pri
mary gives no means of expressing such
preferences, a mass meeting is thought by
some to be the proper thing under the cir
cumstances,
THE FARE TO TYBEE.
Holders of Certificates May Make a
Two Years Test of the Property.
There seems to be more than ono side
to the Tybee railroad fare question, ac
cording to one of the gentlemen who was
financially interested in the rebuilding of
the road.
“I don't understand it,” ho said yester
day. “I can’t see that the fare of 50
cents for the round trip is otherwise than
reasonable, and under the circumstances
I think the patrons of the resort should
be willing to pay that fare. The figures
last year show that the road was not run
on a paying basis. Tho facts are that
about $22,000 was taken in for fares and
on freight, while the operating expenses
were about $39,000 and the fixed charges,
which of course could not be paid, were
$12,500 more. Jt can readily be seen
under the circumstances that for every
person who paid a35 cent fare, it cost
practically 75 cents or $1 to carry him.
“It is on account of this deficit of the
earnings from operating expenses last
year, which amount had to be made up
from the fund in the hands of the re
ceivers of the Central railroad, that a
claim is now being urged for an issue of
sls ,000 receivers' certificates to reimburse
the receivers of the Central for this
money expended out of the general fund.
Whether this claim will stand I do not
know, but there would be no means of
making up a deficit should one occur this
year.
“At one time the people were So en
thusiastic over the road that they were
talking of rebuilding it by popular sub
scription, but now some of them protest
against paving s< cents for 80 miles
of transportation. When it looked as if
the road would not be rebuilt this sum
mer five of the bondholders agreed to
take the certificates and build the road
themselves. They had enough adverse ex
perience with the bonds, which now
have very little value. The certificates
are due in two years, and they expect to
run the road for that time as an experi
ment. If there is a deficit, and the inter
est on the certificates cannot bo paid, the
course they have discussed and will prob
ably pursue, will be to sell the property
to realize the amount of these certifi
cates, which could easily be done inde
pendent of the road itself, as tho engines,
cars and terminal property are of consid
erable value. They have discussed this
matter among themselves, but. of course,
they would rather soe the road pay so
well that no such step would he neces
sary. The operations of the road will be
well tested within the next two years,
and fierhaps on that result, to some ex
tent, will depend the future of the prop
arty.”
A VALUABLE FIND.
Dr. Nichols Discovers Some Old
Stamps Which May Prove of Great
Value.
Every now and then some old chest nr
trunk, which has remained closed for
years, discloses some valuable relic that
! brings the discoverer a small fortune,
i Such finds are not numerous, and they
are always interesting.
The most recent discovery of this kind in
Savannah was made by Dr. E. H. Nichols
a few days ago while looking through an
old che3t, in which were stored relics of
a former generation of his family. The
find in question was a collection of about
500 valuable stamps, which were col
lected by his brother, Frank B. Nichols,
between 1865 and 1870, about thirty years
ago.
Among the stamps are several rare va
rieties which command high prices. The
stamps are all Old varieties, as they were
collected just a few years after the use of
stamps became general.
The stamp collecting fad began about
lSfd. when school boys and others hero
and there began to collect them. Now
there is a society founded to promote the
work of collecting stamps, it is tho
American Philatetic Association, and has
1.000 members. All this may serve to give
some idea of why it is that canceled
postage stamps, and especially scarce va
rieties have value. The most famous col
lection in tho world is that of Phillipe de
Perari. of Paris, valued at #500,000.
Among tho rare varieties in tho collec
tion found by Dr. Nichols is one of the
first stamps issued by the English gov
ernment. It is the black one penny va
riety of 1840, which is valued at nearly
S6O. He has also some very old issues of
Prussia, Bremen, Holland, Switzerland
and New Brunswick. Some very rare
varieties of United States stamps are
found in the collection. Among them are
the 25-cent varieties, with Franklin’s
head, of the 1847 issue, the entire set of
the issue of 1861-1800. and some very rare
United States envelope stamps.
Among the most valuable stamps to be
found in the collection are those of the
confederate states. The two local stamps
of Charleston and New Orleans are very
rare, and bring good prices. Another
curious stamp is the 30-cent green, that
was cut in two pieces diagonally, each of
which was used fora 10-cont stamp. The
10-cent blue and rose of 1804 are
also rare varieties. Several United States
local stamp used before the earliest issues
will command large prices. Among them
are the Pony Press stamps of tho Wells
Fargo Company, Boyd’s Penny Post and
others equally 7 rare.
He has two Hawaiian stamps of the
1852-issue belonging to a set of four,
which collectors value as high as $1,500.
The two will probably bring a good sum.
The one and four penny triangular
Cape of Good Hope stamps, some of the
1800-issue of British Guiana, and one of
the Suez canal are among other rare
varieties. The book has been stored
away about thirty years and was
accidentally discovered by Dr. Nichols a
day or two ago. Several other interest
ing relics were discovered at the same
time. He has not yet obtained a catalogue
or prico list, but believes that he has a
collection, which though a small one, will
prove of great value.
THE MURDERERS CAUGHT.
All of Jackson’s Slayers Believed to
Be Under Arrest.
The Morning News had an account
several days ago of the arrest of two ne
groes at Oliver on suspicion of being con
nected with the murder of Mr. John A.
Jackson, of that place, about three weeks
ago. One of the negroes was found with
Mr. Jackson’s pistol in his possession,
which he claimed to have bought from
another negro, who was also arrested.
Word has been received in the city from
a resident of Oliver that It is now felt
certain that the guilty parties, or all but
one, are under arrest. It will be remem
bered that it was at first thought that the
murder was committed by tramps who
were in the vicinity at the time, but this
theory was not substantiated and was
abandoned.
Tho information received in Savannah,
said that It is now certain that the mur
der was committed by parties residing in
and near Oliver. The murderers, it is
said, were three negroes and a white
man. The three negroes are now under
arrest, but the white man has left for
parts unknown. The arrest of the negroes
lias been kept quiet In the hope of appre
hending the white man, who
is believed to have been the
chief actor in the terrible tragedy. No
clue to his wheroabouts has been dis
covered, however, and there is little hope
of his apprehension. Tho information
was from a very reliable citizen of Oliver.
It is stated that a lynching bee was not
at all unlikely, as the citizens of Oliver
still have a very vivid remembrance of
the brutal murder of Mr. Jackson.
THE PANDORA.
A Bright Annual Issued by the Uni
versity Boys.
The Pandora, published annually by
the fraternities of the University of Geor
gia, is one of the brightest and most in
teresting college publications to be found
in the south. The Pandora recently is
sued for 1894 is certainly one of the
brightest that ha7e appeared in years. It
has been prepared with excellent literary
taste, and is an attractive and complete
manual of life and conditions at the uni
versity. It is handsomely illustrated,
and its stock of college jokes,
while not all of newest feature,
are at least new in form, and much talent
Is exhibited in the arrangement as well
as the poetic features.
Mr. G W. Beckett, of Savannah, a son
of Mr. Isaac Beckett, was one of its ablest
editors. He represented the Phi Delta
Theta fraternity. The editors were
Charles R. Tidwell, of Atlanta and Noel
M. Moore, of Augusta; the business man
agers Paul L. Fleming, of Atlanta and
John D. Htelling, of Augusta. The other
associates besides Mr. Beckett were L. D.
Fricks, qf Rising Fawn ;W. P. Harbin, of
Calhoun, and Henry-Brown,Jof Augusta.

THE SCHOOLS’ FINAL WEEK.
Graduates in a Flatter of Preparation
for Commencement.
I The Grammar School Honcra De
cided by Lot—The Graduates-Pro
gramme of Thursday Afternoon’s
Exercises—Arrangements for the
Day—More Girls Graduate Than
Boys.
This week cJoses the school year of
! 1893-04. Vacation time is near at hand.
The examinations in the schools are prac
tically concluded and to-day, to-morrow
Rnd next day will be occupied chiefly in
arranging for the exercises to be held
Thursday and Thursday night.
The exercises of the grammar school
pupils will bo held Thursday afternoon
at 5 o'clock in Hunter hall at Chatham
Academy. Each one of the seven gram
mar schools will be represented by
one of Us graduates. The exercises
will consist of recitations and decla
mations by the representatives
of the schools, together with music by
the children under the direction of Prof.
W. N. Smith. Kaon school is represented
by its first honor pupil. As there could
be no distinction made where all were
first, the places of salutatorian and vale
dictorian were drawn for by the princi
pals of the schools. Principals Hartridge
alTd O’Hara were the lucky ones, and the
representatives of Chatham School No. 2
and St. Patrick's School respectively
will fill these places.
THE SCHOOL COLORS.
The graduates of each school will at
tend in a body, wearing their school col
ors. The colors by which the different

Thero are 145 graduates, and they will
fill fully one-half the hall, leaviug the
other half for their parents and friends.
The preponderance of girls over boys
among the graduates is something aston
ishing, thero being ninety-three girls to
fifty-two boys. Either the girls have
been smarter than tlw boys
this year, or they must have
largely outnumbered them in the highest
grado. perhaps both. St. Patrick’s is the
only school which graduates a larger
number of boys than of girls. Tho num
ber of graduates of each sohool Is as
follows: Barnard street, 5 boys, 14 girls,

COTTON VERY MUCH IMPROVED.
The Recent Rains Hava Been Benefi
cial to Its Growth.
Reports from different sections in this
state show that rain has fallen pretty
generally throughout the cotton districts
during the past week. The growing crop
has been greatly benefited, but there is
considerable complaint that the yield
will not be up to the average on account
of tbc recent freeze and continued
drought.
The following arc the reports of corre
spondents received yesterday.
UPLAND COTTON.
Tennille. Washington County. June 28. 1
—Cotton throughout this section is de
cidedly backward. The moisture gave j
out before the rains came, and there has 1
been but little rain yet, and the result is, |
that the plant is more backward now !
than at the dose of the first week in
June, and the conditions have reduced to
a certainty Qie fact that a single crop is
all that can be made, whereas, in former
years bottom and top crons have been
made. The estimate of the condition last
week, therefore, wiH not hold good now,
for the plant has fallen far behind what
was expected of it for the last ten days of
June, but if conditions favor the plant
from now until the middle of July, thero
is room yet to get up to an average crop.
Cultivation has been ample and the fer
tilizers are not exhausted: therefore, it
cannot bo judged, with all these facts,
what the results will finally be.
Amcricus, Sumter County, June 23.
The distressing drought that has pre
vailed over this section for the past two
months was relieved Thursday by re
freshing rains. A few localities were not
favored, Dut indications point to more
rain soon. Cotton is not more than half
its usual size for this season, and con
servative farmers estimate that not more
than half a crop can be made.
Bailey, Appling County, June 23. —For
the last two days this section has been
having fine weather and plenty of rain.
The cotton crop is very fino, and if good
weather continues there will probably be
the largest cotton crop ever made in this
county. There is considerable increase
in the acreage planted this year.
Lumpkin, Stewart County, June 28.
There have been partial showers in this
county during the week ; however, there
is a large area that is suffering for want
of rain. The cotton crop looks healthy,
and while not as large as usual at this
season, with good weather there is no
reason why an average crop should not be
mado.
Midvllle, Burke county, June 23.—This
section has been visited with good rains
the past week and cotton is looking much
better. The first planting that stood the
cold weather in May is now very well
fruited. The replant is also doing well.
Bartow, Thomas County, June 23 —The
dry spell has been broken by light, but
refreshing showers. Crops in the main
are doing well. Cotton is growing nicely
and looking healthy. Prospects for more
rain are very promising.
Abbeville. Wilcox County, Juno 23.—A
good rain visited this locality Monday
night, tho first that has fallen here tor
more than a month. It is probable that
it was general throughout tho county.
In some parts of the county the
drought has extended over a period of
three months. Farmers in town to-day
from different localities are still hopeful
of a fair harvest.
SEA ISLAND COTTON.
Pembroke. Bryan County, June 33.
Sea island cotton is growing rapidly and
looking as prosperous where the recent
rains have fallen as could be expected. One
half of this section has not had a shower
of rain in five weeks, and in thosq parts
cotton is suffering considerably. It is
very probable now, however, that rain
will soon be had, and then taking into
consideration the whole circumstances, it
is evident the cotton crop will not be re
duced more than one-third, as stated in
last week’s report. Exceptions obtain
In many enses, and some farms are in a
better condition than they were this time
last year, while others are a complete
failure. This is the consequence of the
location of some cotton fields.
Eden, Effingham County, June 17.—Ex
treme dry weather, with cool nights, is
damaging cotton very much. Tho crop
will be cut off fully one-half.
June 23. —Recent rains have caused cot
ton to improve but ths plant is small.
Hazlehurst, Appling County. June 23
Rain has been abundant during the past
week. The condition of cotton has been
greatly improved. Outlook is very good.
Cotton will fall below the average, in pro
duction this year, although the acreage
was about the average; the freeze and
draught caused some very bad stands.
Abbeville, Wilcox county, June 23.
Recent rains have greatly improved the
growing crops and farmers consider pros
pects very promising in sea island cot
ton.
Homerville, Clinch county, June 23.
Very little rain yet; cotton lookiugjbadly.
CITY BREVITIES.
Andrew Ilaupt is still in the barracks
for beating his wife. Ho will be given
a hearing to-day.
About 200 people came down from Au
gusta and along the Central on yester
day's excursion. About one-third of them
went to Tybee.
The local weather forecast promises
another rainy day. Showers probably
attended by thunder-storms is to-day’s
outlook, though it may not be carried
out as per programme. The maximum
temperature yesterday was 87° and the
minimum 72°.
RAIL AND CROSSTI .
Gonoral Passenger Agent Haile of tho
Central railroad, returned yesterday
from Atlanta, where he has been to ar
range for low rates from interior points to
Tybee. The rate of $5 for the round trip
from Atlanta to the island will probably
be announced in a few days.

yesterday morning in full season. He
has twenty-one men with him, and, to all
appearances, instead o l going under, he
seems to have one of the strongest clubs
in tho league. He seemed much sur
prised and put out about the report sent
to President Nicklin that his team had
disbanded, and he repudiates the state
ment in no unmeaning terms.
SAYS IT WAS CHARLESTON.
Sullivan asserts positively that the
Charleston team was disbanded Saturday
night after President Passailaigue hail
paid the men.
‘•Tne Charleston club quietly and sneak
ir -ly disbanded.” said Sullivan, “and
then wanted to make it appear, for some
reason, that it was Atlanta that had dis
banded. It was what I call a mean, ma
licious piece of business. Tho team not
only disbanded, but most, of the men had
other offers and left the city Saturday
night. Ollie Beard and McFarland went
to Minneapolis, while Klopf and Fields
went to Indianapolis and others to differ
ent destinations.
“I don’t understand why It was they
wanted to put this thing off on Atlanta.
1 have no stock company behind the team, I
but am running it myself, and I am in the. 1
league to stay Just as long as I can get tho I
clubs to play. After the throe games '
with Savannah, if thero is any other club !
to play, I will certainly play it. The '
whole burden Is on m.v shoulders, but I
have come here to fill my honorable en
gagements, and if they all live
up to contracts ae well as
Teddy Sullivan the league would be all
right.
“I don’t look upon the situation as
being so serious as it is made out. I be
lieve ttie league Could pull through all
right with six towns, but then, the thing
to do. is to bring in Montgomery ana
Chattanooga and play it out that way.
They are both good towns and I would
like to see them back in the league.” '
NICKLIN IN A STEW.
From all acoounts President Nicklin,
of the league, is in a stew, and is just
waiting for the Montgomery meeting to
got out of the muddle. The following dis
patch received last night will give some
idea of the situation;
Chattanooga, Teun., June 24 President
Nicklin is more bothered and more at sea
over the Southern League situation to-day
than ever, because of the receipt of the fol
lowing telegram from Ted Sullivan this
morning: • Charleston dlst.anled owing me
money. I want you to understand that At
lanta is in the league.” President Nicklin
cannot see why Joe Ohl sent him the first
telegram Saturday, stating that Atlanta had
gone under, any more than he can see why
Sullivan wires as aDove. He is all the more
surprised at Sullivan's statement to the
effect that Charleston owos him money. He
asserts that Passailaigue is not that kind of
a man, but.says with a sigh that it will all be
settled Tuesday.
From all tho conflicting accounts, it is a
hard matter to tell just where the league
stands.
it is A FACT.
The following dispatch from Charles
ton last night fully confirms the report
brought over by Sullivan:
Charleston, S. C., June 24. The
Charleston team was paid off and dis
banded late last night.

Orleans’ Defeat.
New Orleans, June 24.—Jack Fanning
never pitched a more effective game than
he did against Memphis to-day, but on
account of poor support, he was beaten.

sharply and deserved their victory. Ball,
tho second baseman, had to retire on ac
count of sickness in the eighth inning.

Texas.
Sequin, Tex.—Messrs. Lippman Bros.,
Savannah, Ga., Gentlemen—l have tried
your P. P. P. for a disease of the skin
usually known as Skin Cancer, of thirty
years’ standing, and found great relief; it
purifies the blood and removes all irrita
tion from tho seat of the disease, and pre
vents any spreading of the sores.
I have taken five or six bottles and feel
confident that another course will effect a
euro. It has also relieved me from indi
gestion and stomach troubles. Yours
truly, Capt. W. M. Rust. Attorney-at-law
