Farmers Plsrusa the Outlook at
the Truck Grower** Meetlutt.
The truck planters. It seems, did not suf
fer to any extent from the cool weather
night before last. Some of them noticed
a light frost yesterday morning, while
others say that none was perceptible.
Some of them had covered the more ten
der crops and u-ere prepared for severer
weather than that experienod.
Maj. Ryals said he noticed a slight frost
on his place, but he had everything of a
tender nature well covered, and nothing
was hurt. Mr. M. L. Exley said that none
of his crops had been damaged even In the
slightest degree, and he had no reason to
fear that they woud be last night. Mr.
Zittrouer, who came down from
Monteith. said there was a slight frost
there but nothing was hurt. One of the
truck planters, who had just set out a j
large number of tomato plants
day before yesterday morning cov
ered them all up that after
noon, and they got through all right. No
damaging weather is looked for at this
se4son, and the truckers are of the opin
ion that they have had more than a
eultlelenry of it already.
The crest of the cold wave, which was
central night before last In Eastern Tex
as, moved eastward yesterday, and last
night was off the South Atlantic coast.
Il was slightly cooler on the Georg,* and
South Carolina coasts, and In Eastern and
Southern Florida. Elsewhere It was
warmer. The Indications were that It
will be much warmer to-night in this
section.
Eight frosts were reported yesterday
morning at Augusta, Jacksonville,
Charleston and Meridian, Miss., and In
the suburbs of Savannah. The tempera
ture at Atlanta wpnt to 34 degrees, and at
Kalcigh, Charlotte and Knoxville to freez
ing. The lowest that the mercury went
here was 43 degrees, and the average for
the day was 9 degrees below the average.
The monthly meeting of tho Chatham
Cdunty Truck Growers’ Association was
to have been held at the court house
yesterday, but at the time the meeting
wa called there was not a quorum pres
ent, and after waiting about an hour for
Just one more member to show’ up. the
president ami secretary gave It up in de
spair.
The truckera present spent the time
discussing the effects of rain and cold
weather, and the condition of the crops
generally. Maj. Ryals had some Impor
tant letters to submit to the association,
and so did Secretary Exley. but tinder
the circumstances they could not be acted
on.
Maj. Ryals is in receipt of a letter from
Commissioner of Agriculture R. T. Nls
bett, who said the state had made provis
ion for an exhibition of her resources
at the Cotton States and International
Exposition, to be held in Atlanta in the
fall. Being charged with the duly of
getting up this exhibit. Commissioner
Ntsbett wrote to ask Maj. Ryals and oth
ers Interested in the trucking and farming
business In this section to lend him all the
assistance In their power, and to pre
pare their crops with a view to exhibit
ing at the exposition and competing for
premiums. The letter stated that the
agent of the board W'ould be here soon,
to take hold of the work in this section,
and it was requested that all the assist
ance possible be given him.
Another letter of the same tenor was
received from Dr. Qeorge F. Bayne, the
state chemist, who Is also Interesting
himself In this work. He writes that this
Is Georgia’s golden opportunity to adver
tise her resources, and urges that every
possible effort be made to present a
creditable display from this section.
Maj. Ryals said he Intended to refer
these letters to the association and
consult the members as to what action
If any might be necessary in order that
this section might have some representa
tion.
It’s a bad time of the year for the truck
farmer to try to exhibit anything,” he
said, "as there Is very little stuff in the
ground in the fall. We may succeed, how
ever. in getting up u creditable display fur
this section.”
The truckers have another matter of in
terest which they are to consider and It
may be to their Interest to do so. The
Louisville and Nashville railroad is en
deavoring to work up a business In this
section, especially among the trucking
Interests, and to this end letters have been
addressed to several of the largest plant
ers. Secretary Exley had one of these
letters which he intended to present to
the association for discussion
Each of these letters was accompanied
by a long list of the western commission
houses such as handle potatoes and other
Vegetables, and It stated that special at
tention would be given to the rapid and
safe transportation of such shipments.
The general southern agent, Mr. J. A.
Sams, agrees in case of such shipments
to give them the best of attention, and it
Is stated that there is a good market in
the west for southern vegetable products.
Th truckers will undoubtedly go a little
easy about seeking anew market. They
have been shipping to the eastern markets
so long, that they thoroughly understand
the trade and know just what to expect.
They arc unacquainted with the western
ers, and doubtless before they tamper witli
anew market they will look about for
some assurance of results. These matters
will be brought up for discussion and
action at the next meeting.

DIDN'T FAVOR A R EDI (TTO V
i C 01. (iurraril I rgrr-d That Ike Troop*
liel 7S Cent* Per Diem.
Col. William Garrard request.* the Morn
ing: News to state that the per diem of
50 cents adopted by the military advisory
hoard for the state encampment tnis year
was not favored by him.
**l opposed the 50 cents per diem," said
Col. Garrard yesterday, "and urged that
the per diem be made the same as last
year—7s cents. Failing in this I urged
a compromise between 50 and 75 cents in
which I was also unsuccessful. While It
is true the Guards reduced their actual
living expenses In camp last year to 49
cents per man per day, this Incudes only
living expenses and does not allow for the
numerous and v&rioiis other expenses
incurred by every command attending
camp. The per diem of 60 cents will not
cover all the expenses of the commands
attending camp. Considerable outUV is
always necessary for every command at
tending camp, even when the command is
already well equipped. The men must pro
vide themselves with flannel shirts and
other various necessaries of camp life.
Cooking utensils must be bought and
hired cook* carried along to do the cook
ing. Kasins, towels, soap and various
other things must he purchased. Right
fully all this expense should be borne by
the state, but as it Is now the men of the
various commands must go down in their
pockets and pay for these things th*/n
--sclves. While a p*r diem of 50 cents will
cover the actual living expenses of the
men. a per diem of 75 cents would be suf
ficient to cover the various miscellaneous
expenses necessary to every command en
tering camp, and for this reason I urged
that the per diem should remain at 50
cents.”
The announcement of the encampment
this year was not received with unmixed
satisfaction by the fflen of the First reg*
Iment. At a meeting of the officers of the :
regiment held last week to discuss the ■
subject of an encampment, the majority
of the officers present expressed them
selves as opposed to an encampment on
account of th* smallness of the state ap
propriation, which they know, from past
experience, would not be sufficient to cover
all the expenses of the companies attend
ing camp.
Cos!. Reilly, It is said, was non-committal
on the subject, and some of those present
were surprised to find him strongly ad
vocating an encampment before his de
parture for Atlanta. Members of the First
regiment who were seen yesterday were
not over enthusiastic on the subject of
the encampment. The Increased expense
to the companies by reason of the small
per diem is the reason for their dissat
isfaction. The regiment has never been
found lacking yet, however, in the mat
ter of encampment, and can be relied upon
to go into ramp with full ranks as usual
this summer.
M ILL HA\ E TO PAY THE TAX.
The World’s Fnlr Exhibition Con
sidered Nnbjeet to It.
A telegram was received from Attorney
General J. M. Terrell yesterday in an
swer to a letter from Mr. John Sullivan
Bchley with regard to the exhibition on
Broughton street called the World’s Fair
Miniature, stating that it was subject to
the specific tax of SSO levied on side shows ,
under the law', and that the tax would
have to be paid.
Tax Collector McGowan then took steps
to have an execution against the show
issued and a levy made. Judge Falll
gant was applied to for an injunction to
restrain the levy temporarily, until it
could he determined by the courts whether
this came under the meaning of the stat- ■
ute, but he refused to grant the order,
and it seems that the special tax will
have to be paid by those in charge of It.
Mr. Schley’s contention was that this
exhibition was in the histronlc or elocu
tionary class, it being more on the or- j
der of an illustrated lecture than of those |
exhibitions which are subject to such a
tax, and he wanted this question specific
ally passed on by the court. The show !
consists of representations of all the build
ings properly located, and it is accom
panied by a lecture from the manager. !
It seems, however, that the officials have
taken the other view of the matter and
the tax will probably have to be paid.
THE OIIVIIX ARY SI STAINED.
Wiley Brown Not Permitted to Share
In Hi* Wife’. Estate.
The sealed verdict in the matter of the
application of Wiley Brown to be allowed
to share !n the estate left by his wife was
opened in the superior court yesterday
morning. The verdict of the jury sustain
ed the caveat as did the decision of the
ordinary, and denied Brown’s right to pur
ticlpato in the division of the property,
holding that the marriage was null and
void as she was of unsound mind at the
time.
Sarah Jane Brown left an estate valued
at about $7,000. This was in charge of
Capt. J. F. Brooks as her guardian before
her death, and afterwards he was ap
pointed administrator of the estate. Mrs.
Brown had been adjudged a lunatic in the
court of ordinary, and It was held that
Brown knew of her insanity at the time of
the marriage. The property will go to the
minor children of Mrs. Brown by her
former husband.

WITH THE HOTEL HELP.
Two Fast Flying Trnins Trying to
Unit Ench Other to AVusiilngton. ’
The Plant System and Florida Central
and Peninsular hotel help trains passed
Savannah on tholr way north from Florida
yesterday shortly after noon. Both of
them left Jacksonville promptly at 10
o'clock by railroad or 90th meridian time,
and they arrived here within a few min
utes of each other.
The Plant System train left Jacksonville
with 135 passengers. It arrived at South
over junctiop at 1:28 o'clock p. m., making
the run of 172 miles In a total time of
three hours and twenty-eight minutes.
The train had considerable trouble with
hot boxes and had to stop twice, at Way
cross and at Walthourvllle, on this ac
count. the delay from this cause amount
ing to forty-six minutes, which make a
running time of two hours anil forty-two
minutes for the 172 miles, or more than a
mile a minute for the entire distance. In
some places the train ran as fast as sev
enty-five miles an hour, and the last thirty
one miles were made In Just twenty-eight
minutes. The train left Southover Junc
tion at 1:35 and arrived at Charleston at
3:61 o'clock p. in., making the 115 miles In
two hours and sixteen minutes. The fast
mall of the Plant System carried 145
passengers north, and had to put on an ex
tra coach to accomodate the crowd.
The Florida Central and Peninsular fly
er arrived at the Junction just outside the
city at 1 o’clock, making the run of 128
miles In Just three hours. It had aboard
167 passengers, and a stop was made at
the Junction for dinner. The train left
Savannah at 1:19 o'clock and arrived at
Columbia at 4:11 o'clock. The train is
making quite a rapid run. And had no
trouble at all between Jacksonville and
Columbia.
There Is no doubt that tins two trains
are In close competition for a record.
The officials of both lines say they know
nothing about a race, but the Indications
all point the other way. The Plant sys
tem trains reached Washington first last
year, and the Florida Central and Pe
ninsular will no doubt endeavor to win
the race this time If there is any way to
do It. Each train carried rive cars, four
coaches and a baggage car, and the fare
for the trip from Jacksonville to New
York was sl4. The race practically ends
at Washington, as both of them have
to go over the Pennsylvania railroad from
that point, but the first arrival In Wash
ington is liable to get into New York a
little ahead of Its competitor. The result
will no doubt be watched with much
interest, as other special trains of the
same kind are to be run within a few
days.
CITY' BREVITIES.
All petit jurors of the superior court
have been discharged by notice until
Monday morning at 10 o’clock.
Mr. Gilbert Domus has sent to the
Morning News a line head of lettuce
grown by him on the Remion place, on
White Bluff road.
C. J. Wall and Isaac Golden were in
dicted by the grand jury of the city court,
yesterday, on the charge of illegal hunt
ing. They .are charged with hunting and
trespassing on the lands of Mr. Gugie
Bourquin in the close season.
In the court of ordinary, yesterday, let
ters dlsmlssory were granted to Cather
ine A. Stiles, guardian of Romesita Tel
fair. Agnes C. E Kobbe filed an applica
tion for letters of administration on the
estate of Rebecca S. C. Kiskamn.
The hands on the court house clock
went awry yesterday morning, and the'
dock was stopped from 8 until after 12
o’clock. It seems that the action of thr
wind and weather caused the screws
holding the hands on the south dial to be
come loosened, and one end of the hour
hand caught In the frame work of the
dial. It w-as fixed and running all right
again about 12:15, however, and in spite
of this lapse of time, the courts went
on with their work as usual.
Allen C. top peel go Dead.
The friends of Mr. Allen Coppedge will
regret to learn of his death
from consumption, which occurred at
the residence of his father, in Americus,
Ga. Mr. Coppedge was born In Bartles
ville, tn., and was about 27 years of age
He came to Savannah in
held a position in the Morning News com
posing room until January, when his
health became so mtieh impaired that he
was compelled to give up |,|„ position
and seek rest In the country. It seems,
however, that the relief he obtained was
merely transitory, and he died or con
sumption, as above stated. Mr. Cop
pedge made many Mends during hts
stay Its Savannah. The deceased leaves
a wife and child, besides a large family
connection, ills funeral will take place
at 11 o'clock this morning at Sylvanta.
MAY SOT t*R %%T IT.
Commluiuncra lo Art on. thr Request
of the Military to (Irar the Xf*
Range.
There will be a special meeting of the
board of county commissioners this after
noon at 4 o’clock for the purpose of con
sidering the report of the committee on
drainage in the matter of the request of
the military commands of Savannah with
regard to the proposed new rifle range to
be established in East Savannah.
It is not known just what the report
of the committee will be. but from the in
dications It is somewhat doubtful if the
request of the militiamen will be granted.
They appeared by a committee before the
board at its last meeting, and asked that
the county aid them in preparing the
range by detailing a number of convicts
to properly clear off the ground and drain
it. The matter was referred to the com
mittee on drainage and the county en
gineer, slaj. R. A. Rlandford, was called
on for a report with regard to the matter.
After an investigation he has come to the
conclusion, it is understood, that It will
take a force of twenty-five convicts near
ly six or seven weeks to do the work, and
this is probably more than the commis
sioners could afford to do at the present
time, on account of the fact that they
are now engaged In having the drains
around the city cleaned out.
Then, too, a gang of twenty-five con
victs is to be sent to Tybee Island for the
purpose of putting the drainage there In
order, and this is another matter on
which some definite action will probably
be taken this afternoon. It may be, how
ever. that tlie commissioners will be ready,
some time in the near future, to answer
the military more favorably, or that they
will consent to assist in the work if the
military will agree lo have part of it
done themselves.
The budget committee consisting of Com
missioners Oiaplin, (.’arson and Kehoe,
will hold a meeting to-night for tlie pur
pose of making up the budget for the
ensuing >ear. This committee will report
to the commissioners at the regular meet
ing next Wednesday, and the budget will
then go before the grand jury for its ap
proval.
CATCH IAG CAR KOIIIIEHS.
Detective Uaseh's Experience With
Thieves.
Detective Si Basch was in the city yes
terday. Si spend* most of his time catch
ing thieves along the Central railroad,
car-breakers being his specialty.
His last capture of importance In this
line was that of Charlie Williams, w'ho
robbed a freight car at Gordon last month
of three cases, containing seventy-two
pair of shoes. The shoes were good ones,
but Williams started peddling them
through the country at anything he could
get for them. Ho had disposed of nearly
all the shoes when caught.
The detective tracked him up and ar
rested him Saturday at Massey’s Mills,
seven miles from Mycon. He had one of
the shoe cases with him, but had sold all
the shoes out of the box except one pair.
One of the cases from which he had taken
only one pair of shoes was found near the
scene of the robbery. Williams, when
asked why he had left that case behind,
said that he didn’t like those shoes.”
After securing Williams Detective Basch
started out in company with* Deputy
Sheriff Arthur Jobson of Maccn to gath
er up the shoes which Williams had dis
posed of through that part of the country.
Basch said that this was one of the most
ludicrous experiences he has ever had.
They found men and women plowing in
the fields, wearing the shoes. They were
stopped, made to sit down in the furrow
and pull the shoes off right
there. It was a pretty cold
day, too, to go home barefooted. Nearly
every pair of shoes sold by Williams was
found.
Williams was jailed in Macon Tuesday
morning Detective Baseh left Macon with
Williams for Irwinton, the county seat of
Irwin county, in which the robbery oc
curred. He arrived at Irwinton at 1:30
o'clock, and went before the grand jury
at once. A true bill was found at 2 o’clock.
At 3 o’clock the prisoner was arraigned
before Judge Hart, plead guilty to burglary
and was sentenced to live vrars in the
penitentiary. He is doubtless' wearing
stripes now. Williams claimed to be from
Long Branch, N. Y., but it was found
that he belonged to a colored Masonic
lodge at Gordon.

TO SHUT OUT QUACK DOCTORS.
THE STATE LAW RERI IRES ALL
NEW PHYSICIANS TO REGISTER.
Tlir, Must First Hr Examined by
One of the Three Examining
Boards and Then Register Their
Nantes With the t’lerk of the Supe
rior Court—Tlie Purpose of the Luxv
to Dispose of Incompetent Practi
tioner*.
The Macon doctors appeared to have
discovered a mare's nest, judging by the
prees dispatches sent out from that city.
The dispatches state that the physicians
of the Central City are all In a stew be
cause half of them have failed to com
ply with a law passed by the last legisla
ture, requiring all physicians to register
with the ordinary on Jan. 1, and providing
a severe penalty for those practicing with
out having registered.
Ordinary Ferrill was asked about the
matter yesterday. He said there Is no
law requiring physicians to register with
the ordinary. There is a law requiring
them to register with the clerk of the
superior court, he said. Clerk Carr was
seen and said that a law was passed by
the last legislature, providing Tor state
boards of medical examiners and requir
ing that parties passing examination be
fore a state board and receiving a cer
tificate from the board, must register
the certificate with the clerk of the su
perior court of the county iri which they
begin practice. He referred to the pub
lished acts of the last legislature.
The act relating to doctors provides for
three boards of medical examiners, one
for each of the three scr.ools, the regular,
the eclectic and the homeopathic. It Is
the duty of these three boards to meet
once a year In Atlanta to pass on the ex
aminations of graduates of the medical
colleges of their particular schools. A
second tegular meeting is also to he held
at such place as muy he fixed by the
board and special meeting may also be
held when deemed necessary. If the ap
plicant passes his examination success
fully he Is given a certificate to this effect.
This certificate must be registered with
the clerk of the superior court of the
county In which the graduate locates for
practice. There Is a penalty for failure
to comply with this requirement.
The act also applies to graduates from
Institutions outside of the state and all
others coming Into the state to practice
medicine. It went into effect Jan. 1. The
act does not apply to regular practitioners
who were engaged In practice In this state
prior to Jan. 1. The act is evidently in
tended to protect the people of the state
from quacks and incompetent medical
students, who have failed to pass their
examinations or to take the full epurse at
the medical institutes. The act specifies
that no person is eligible to apply for ex

QIIZZKD IN FRENCH.
Frof. Muzznrelli’s Examination of
His Classes.
During last week the normal class In
French, conducted by l'rod. Muzzarelli at
Chatham Academy has been undergoing a
very strict examination, both oral
and written. The average ob
tained by the class was 78 per
cent., which Is very high, taking into con
sideration the fact that the class has been
operation not quite three months, and
that only two hours a week have been
devoted to the work of instruction. The
average of several of the pupils was much
higher than 78 per cent.
The examination showed that the teach
ers are not lacking In an aptitude for
French. Prof. Muzzarelli al3o held an ex
amination of his Juvenile classes, the
showing being remarkably good. One of
the classes, consisting of thirty pupil3,
reached the high average of 75 per cent.
Prof. Muzzarelli was much pleased with
the results of the examinations, as In
deed he has good reason to be. He has
lately introduced anew feature In his In
struction In the shape of quotations from
the French ports and prose writers In or
der to give his pupils some Idea of the
beauties of French literature.
