Trie Georgia State Horticultural Soci
ety will convene in Savannah to-morrow

make its headquarters at the De Soto,
and the meetings will be held In the ban
quet room of the hotel.
The horticultural exhibit will be made
at the Guards’ hall. Mr. A. C. Oelsehig is
In charge of the exhibit, which is ex
pected to be one of the most extensive in
th-‘ history of the society. Individual ex
hibits are already being received by ex
press, and it is expected that a large num

w ill see to it that Chatham county’s capa
bilities in the production of fruits, plants
and vegetables are fully portrayed.
The society will be called to order by
President Berckmans; and after the in
vocation by Rev. W. C. Schaeffer addresses
of welcome will be delivered by Mayor
Meldrim and Dr. George H. Stone, chair
man of the park and tree commission.
Prof. H. N. Starnes of the Georgia ex
periment station will respond in behalf
of the society.
The Horticultural Society was organized
in 1876 by a few public spirited citizens,
who have faithfully labored since to pro
mote the fruit growing industry of Geor
gia, and to aid In the higher education
of its people. In advancihg the aims and
objects of the society, they have paid
with their purse and person, not only
freely giving their labor, but paying for
the publication of its proceedings, which
have been distributed free of charge
wherever they could serve the aims of the
society. The only revenue of the society
is derived from the annual membership
fc. s, and as this is limited the society is
hampered in its scope.
The past work of the society has caused
a wonderful development of the fruit
growing industry, which of late has given
several sections of the state a most rapid
increase in land values, as well as an in
b iligent class of settlers from other
slates. The annual catalogues of the so
ciety are now the recognized reliable
guides for the fruit growers of Georgia,
and have had a most wonderful influence
in developing the fruit growing interests
of the state.
An attractive programme of essays from
eminent scientists and horticulturists has
been prepared.
Among the papers which will be pre
sented are the following:

, obscure doc
tor, when a young wife complains of being
nervous, fretful, despondent and troubled
with headaches, pains in the back and sides
and abdomen and “shooting pains,” attrib
utes these bad feelings to stomach, liver or
heart trouble. If, by a lucky chance, he
hits upon the right cause, which is most fre
quently weakness or disease of the femi
nine organism, he will insist upon the
offensive examinations and local treatment
from which every- modest woman shrinks.
When a woman suffers in this way she
should consult, in person or by letter, some
eminent physician who has the wisdom and
experience to know that these troubles are
easily cured by the right remedy, without
offence to modesty. Dr. R. V. Pierce has
been for thirty years chief consulting phy
sician to tlie Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical
Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., one of the lead
ing medical institutions in the world.
Many thousands of women have used his
“ Favorite Prescription ” who were physi
cal wrecks and who are now happy wives
with happy husbands. Honest druggists
will not offer something else in place of
the famous “Favorite Prescription.”
"After having been married nine vears, having
good health generally, and no children, I con
sulted you in regard to my case," writes Mrs,
Virginia A. Thornton, of Halloca, Chattahoochee
Cos., Ga. “I received prompt reply, with direc
tions for using your medicines, which I followed.
After taking ien bottles of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription. I happilv found mvself in an ex
pectant state, and in diie time gave birth to a fme
baby girl. She is two years and-a-half old now,
and is healthy and fat."
Constipation? "Biliousness”? That
means ‘‘ danger ahead. ’ ’ Dr. Pierce’s Pleas
ant Pellets are a sure cure.
HAS A COSTLY HATH.
An Angnutn Man boat a Hound Sum
at Tjbee,
Mr. R. B. Robertson of Augusta
is short a handsome diamond pin,
valued at SBS; a fine gold watch and s3l in
money, as the result of his Sunday visit
to Tybee. Some sneak thief is just that
much ahead for the present at least.
Mr. Robertson is in the furniture busi
ness in Augusta, and is also the proprie
tor of a loan office in Savannah. He ar
rived here last week on his way to New
York, intending to sail yesterday by the
Tallahassee. He very naturally went down
to Tybee, and like hundreds of others in
dulged in a surf bath. He secured his
bath ticket at the bath office of the Hotel
Tybee and checked his valuables in the
usual manner, leaving them with the
clerk and receiving a small brass check
in return. He placed the check in one ot
his pockets and after getting into his
bathing suit carefully locked the door ot
his bath room and fastened the key to his
bathing suit,) When he came out of the
surf about dusk he was surprised to find
the door of his bath room open.
Naturally hie thought of his check at
once, and made a search for it, but with
out being able to find it. He reported at
the bath office and inquired if his valua
bles were still there. He was Informed
that the package had been given out some
time before on the presentation of the
check corresponding to the one with the
package. The young lady in charge of
the office could give no description of the
party who presented the check, a number
of parties having applied for and receiv
ing checks during the interval.
Mr. Robertson at once reported the mat
ter to Proprietor Graham of the hotel,
who gave him every assistance in the ef
fort to locate the thief. Chief Prendible
was notified and an investigation was
made, but without obtaining any clue.
All the parties are pretty well satisfied
that the theft was the work of a white
man, as no bathing tickets are sold to
negroes, and if a check for valuables de
posited at the office, had been presented by
a negro the fact would have been remem
bered.
Chief McDermott of the Savannah police
was on the Island and was eating supper
at the time in the dining room of the
Hotel Tybee. Proprietor Graham was not
aware of this, however, and though ef
forts were made to find the chief he took
the 7:40 train to the city without having
been notified of the robbery. Later he
received a telegram notifying him that a
robbery had been committed on the Island
and requesting that the detectives meet
Mr. Robertson at the Tybee depot. The
detectives did so. and secured a descrip
tion of his valuables from Mr. Robertson.
So far, however, no clew has been discov
ered to their whereabouts.
The robbery is likely to bring up a
very neat point of law. Mr. Robertson
has announced that, acting upon legal ad
vice, he will hold the hotel responsible
for his loss on the ground that he had
complied with all the precautions required
and the fact that the door of the bath
room assigned him was capable of being
opened with other keys than the one which
he had in his possession. Mr. Graham, of
course, takes the opposite view. His po
sition is that of hotel men generally In
■uch matter, that the check given Mr.
Robertson for his valuables was the lat
ter’s receipt, which It was his business to
preserve and upon the presentation of
which the office was bound to deliver the
valuables. AV’hcn such a number of checks
are being Issued, hotel men say. It Is out
of the question that the bath house clerk
should remember the faces of oil those
who had secured checks. Mr. Robert
son did not sail last night on the Talla
hassee. but will leave to-night on the Kan
sas City.
KNEW UV A I'IIIVATE MARK.
A Stolen lllcjole Iteeovereil by Hull
In Trover I'roeecillngs,
A bicycle, stolen June 23, came to light
yesterday and was recovered by the own
er In an unusual manner. The wheel be

ing. Returning In a short while he found
the wheel had disappeared.
Mr. It. V. Connerat's collector found a
bicycle at the Central press which Mr.
VV. G. Fairchild wished to have repair
ed. The collector took the wheel to the
■hop and there one of the workmen dis
covered by a peculiar mark on It show
ing that It was the one which had been
stolen from Mr. Wade.
The workman had repaired the wheel
once or twice l>efore It was stolen, and
readily recognised It. Mr. Fairchild was
notified that the bicycle had been stolen
and he ref,lied that he had bought It
som time ago from a stranger who was
hard up and wanted to leave town. The
former owner cmne by Mr. Connerat’s
and was told of the wheel. Finding that
ha would have to Institute leg,* proceed
ings t" re. over possession. M. Wade
went before Justice of the Peace Waring
Russell, Jr., and took out a bull in trover.
This was served übJ the wheel was se
cured. ,
