Cam. M'. A. A. Lawrence, end Mr. G o go
T. Cann will represent Chatham courty at
the State ConvenUcn to Ire held in A'la.'.fa
In June. They were named ye-ste dry at
the meeting of Democratic Executive
Committee, coiled by the chaiiman for tho
purpose of consol dating' the returns of the
primarv election and certifying to the re
sult.
One of the duties Imposed upon the
County Executive Committee by the St-Jt?
Committee was that of selecting: delegate.-?
to the convention from among the frione's
of the successful candidates. For a time
it seemed as if a rather broad construction
were to be placed upon this section of th?
rules and delegates to the convention nam
ed without regard to the factional lines up
on w hich the primary of Tuesday was
fought.
The committee met at the Court Home
at noon, a majority being present. After
the returns had bene consolidated and the
results announced, Mr. Waring Russell,
Jr., offered a resolution proposing as de>*
gates to the convention: Col. P. W. Mel
drim. Col. A. R. Law ion. Col. J. H. Ffltill,
Hon. F. G. dußignon, Hon. Pope Barrow,
and Hon. W. G. Charlton.
The Citizens members of the committee
were evidently taken by surprise by this
resolution and none of them wmed 10
know w'hat to do. Col. M. W. Dixon, who
was present though not a member of ihe
committee, remark* and that the majority cf
the gentlemen named in the resolution
were not known os supporters of the suc
cessful Candida tesin the primary and under
the rules laid down by the State Commit
tee he did not think they were eligible for
appointment. He suggested as more sat
isfactory to the successful candidates:
Hon. F. G. dußignon, Hon. Pope Barrow,
Col. M. W. Dixen, Mr. J. Ferris Cann. Mr.
A. A. Lawrence, and Hon. Herman Myers.
Mr. Adolph Leffler offered the names
suggested by Mr. Dixon in a substitute
for the resolution of Mr. Mr. Har
ry Willlnk pr in tly objected. He po.nted
out that the del gates to the State Con
vention were intended to represent the
sentiment cf the county with regard to the
state tickit and that the solicitor gentr
alship fght was a side issue, the resolu
tions for the state primary providing
that the vote f r Ju .g sand solicitors
shall be certified by the County Executive
Committees to tie chairman of the Sate
Convention, the names of the candidates
re elvlnpr the highest votes to be placed
up: n the stale ticket. It c uld not he con
t nried that the gentienun named by Mr.
Russell were not active supporters of the
state ticket.
Mr. J. F. Su’llvan said hat the major
i y of the c rnmitt e ought to have some
repre sent a l* n on tho delegation, and that
the oti.er side ought to be willing to di
vl e the and egatlcn, even if they hod won
t to victory in the primary, all being Dem
o-rats and equally interested in the work
of ttc* 3•at*' Cement! n.
The C tiz.rs members c.uld not see the
ratur ii this light, however. On motion
of Mr. W 11 nk the committee t ok a ten
minutes’ recess to caucus over the mat
ter. It developed at the caucus that the
majority of the* committee thought that
a-; the Ci ize s sire hid won the v'c ory
ih- y rri.hl as well be allow,'d all the hon
ors. Seme cf the committee, however, Mr.
V.'iliink among Hie nurtfber, entered per
sonal object ons to Mayor Myers a a
member of :h * delegation. His name was
a cordingly withdrawn, and that of Col.
George T Cenn substituted. This arree
ir.e t was lallfled when the committee re
convened.
As delegates to the senatorial convention
iba following friends of |4r. J. Ferris
Cann were named: James M. D;xon, Hal
H. Bacon. J'hn Juclxtcr, George T. Cam.
Samuel Rfyn-Ids *nd H. F.. Dreeson. No
Issue was raised in the s 1 ctlon of tho
senatorial delegates.
The selection of delegates to the Coti
gresHonal Convention to be held at Statee
boro next month was left to a committee
of three, consisting of Messrs. Harry Wil
llnk. Ambrose Ehrlich and Ben. T. Wells.
Mr. A. Loftier laised the question of the
further existence of the Executive Com
mittee by suggesting that ns the commit
tee had discharged all of the duties im
peded upon i It should resign. No one
else seemed to be in a resigning humor,
however. Ohnirman Meldrim sai l that he
could not prevent any member of th** com
mittee. resigning who wished to do o. but
that the committee could not resign as a
body. Provision would have to Ik; made
for the election of anew Executive Com
mittee, he said, but with the memory of
the recent primary still fresh In the minds
of the voters it would be well to defer the
matter for tho pr. s nt.
The BUgeg9tion that some of their lead
ing opponents should bo named ns dele
gates to the State Convention was nit rel
ished by the aupport?rs of Mr. Osborne,
some of whom characterized as a remark
ably nervy exhibition afar the sweeping
defeat to which the op. o it lon had Just
been subjected*
Col. M eld rim, when asked about tho
matter, pointed out that the rule-* of the
state primary distinctly provide that the
candidates on the state t| ket shod I be
voted for by name, and that delegates fa
vorable to successful candidates should be
selected by the Ex* eutive Commit! e. This
evidently referred to state candidates
only, a separate provision being made
for certifying the vote as to judges and
solicitors ga.eral. “In a spirit of fairness,
however,” Col. Meldilm said, * L was well
to permit the winning sllc to enjoy nil the
fruits of victory. As chairman of the
meeting I would not h ive permitted the
consideration of my name.”

HAD A GLORIOUS TIME.
Everybody Enjoyed the Bine*’ Pic
nic, Drill and Ball Game.
The officers of Republican Blues es
timated the crowd that went to their pic
nic at Tybee yoaterday at somethin!? be
tween 1,200 and 1,500. By trains, begin
ning with the first in Ihe morning, the
crowds taken to the island were figured
at 200. 150, 500 and 500.
Everybody had a good time. All en
tered enthusiastically into the spirit of
the outing, and the Blues were popular
for having arranged so pleasant an af
fair. Various forma of entertainment
were to be enjoyed, and there was not a
dull hour spent by any.
Financially, too, the picnic was a suc
cess, and the company added consider
ably to its funds for the proposed trip
to Louisville to attend the reunion of
Confederate veterans. It was earnestly
desired that this might be done, as the
command did not have in hand the
amount that will be necessary to defray
the expenses of the trip.
A feature of the afternoon was Ihe
game of baseball between a team from
the Blues and one from the garrison of
regulars on the island. This resulted in
a victory for the garrison team, the score
being 11 to 10, It had been agreed to
play only seven Innings, but the score
ftood 8 to 8 /at the end of the seventh,
so it was jjticided to play two more in
nings. At) error by the Blues in the
ninth inning, when they' were two runs
ahead, gave the game to the artillery
men, who made three runs.
The prize drill was held in the evening
in the pavilion at the Tybee Hotel. It
was very successful, the men who en
tered acquitting themselves well. The
Judgcw were Capt. James M. Rogers of
the Savannah Volunteer Guards, Capt.
J. T. West of the Savannah Cadets and
Capt. Walter E. Coney, adjutant of the
First Regiment.
Corpl. Joseph N. Smith won the first
prize, the company medal and a gold coin.
The second prize, a gold coin, was won
by Sergt. James E. Rooney. The prizes
were presented by Capt. Rogers.
Dancing was enjoyed by the crowd after
the drill. The last train left the Island
at 11:30 o'clock with some 6CO aboard. It
was met at the depot by street cars, and
the happy crowd scattered for various
homes.
photography or eclipses.
Explained to Camera Club by Mr.
Otis Ashmore.
Mr. Otis Ashmore gave an Interesting
talk at the Camera Club last night on the
photography of eclipses. Mr. Ashmore
will be one of the corps of observers at
the United States Observatory at Barnes
vllle for the total eclipse of the sun. May
2S, and has given a goed deal of study to
the methods of observation. The attten
tion of the observers at Barnesville will
be directed to the corona, which will be
both photographed and sketched with as
much care as it can possibly be done in
the ninety seconds' duration of the total
eclipse.
Mr. Ashmore explained to the Camera
Club, so far as possible, the ways of pho
tographing the corona and read at some
length from the reports of the United
States naval observatory the results of
former photographic observations cf
tcllpse3 and the instructions as lo the
ben plan to photograph the coming
eclipse. As an encouragement to amateur
photographers, he said the best general
photograph of the corona In the eclipse
of 1895, was secured by an amateur with
a home-made camera.
Mr. Ashmore illustrated his talk with
black board sketches and Illustrations
from various works on the sun.

JOCKEY CLU3 SEEMS A GO.
PROBABILITY OF WINTER RACE
MEETINGS FOR SAVANNAH.
Committee of Eleven, With Gen. \V.
\V. Gordon am Chairman, Appoint
ed to InvenllHrntc Hegrnrdlnmr nn
OrßiMiizatlon and Race Conme and
Iteport to n Subsequent Meeting:.
Opinion NYns General That Many
Hornes Would Be Drought to Sa
vannah Daring the Win tern by- the
Establishment of a First-class
Track and quarter*.
Winter race meetings seem to be a de
cided probability for Savannah. No well
defined plan has yet been even outlined,
but a number of gentlemen met last night
at the De Soto, end their expressions were
heartily in favor of the re-estabdshment
of the Savannah Jockey Club and the con
struction of a race course, stables, grand
stand and other facilities for race meet
ings.
The action taken was the appointment of
a committee of eleven to investigate all
matters bearing upon th© establishment of
a track and quarters at Savannah, to re
port at a subsequent meeting. Gen. W.
W. Gordon is chairman, and the other
members are Messrs. H. M. Lofton, W. W.
Starr, L. J. Maxwell, George W. Owens,
W. J. Deßenne, J. K. Garnett, C. E.
Stults. R. W. Powers, John R. Young and
Dr. William Duncan.
At the meeting, which was held In the
gentlemen’s parlor of the De Soto, were
Messrs. George W. Owens, H. M. Lofton,
Herman Rosenheim, William Duncan, L.
J. Maxwell, W. W. Starr, D. F. Jack, B.
H. Levy, J. K. Garnett, Joseph Doyle, Ed
ward Doyle, Saunders of South Carolina,
James C. Shaw, B. W. Wrenn, W. J. Wat-
Fon, Lawrence Lippman, Mills B. Lane,
W. J. Peßenne, W. W. Gordon, C. E.
Stults, W. G. Lee. R. W. Powers. W. T.
Burch, C. A. L. Cunningham, Frank M.
Butner and W. E. Wimpy.
On motion of Mr. Owens, Gen. Gordon
took the chair, and, on motion of Col.
Wrenn, Mr. Maxwell acted as secretary".
The chairman stated that the meeting
was ready to hear from any of those
present relative to its purpose. Mr. Starr
stated someihing of the advantages that
would accrue to Savannah from the es
tablishment of a first-class race course
conducted by reputable persons under the
sanction of a circuit association.
Under proper auspices, Mr. Starr said,
there is no question that the leading rac
ing people of the country could be in
duced to come to Savannah for winter
meets. Indeed, they would be glad to take
advantage of a good track and good quar
ters, for with such Inducements there
would be everything to benefit them. The
city would be thoroughly advertised by
thdse people and the great crowd that
follow’s races, and money would be spent
freely, helping all branches of business.
Advantages of climafe and rail and ocean
rates are Savannah’s that would be at
tractive to owners of stables of racing
stock. Mr. Srarr also upheld the dignity
of the sport, of horse racing, when con
ducted honestly and upon an elevated
plane, there being nothing about it, he
said, that should not make it far prefera
ble to the sport of football or baseball.
The horse© themselves, he declared, enjoy
V, and it is free from anything like cruel
ty to man or beast.
Mr. Deßenne added his indorsement of
a race course to what Mr. Starr had said,
declaring it his opinion that the city
would derive great benefit from the estab
lishment of a course here. Not only
would it be a good thing for the city,
but for the racing people as well, as
they are in need of such a place as Sa
vannah for wintering and holding winter
meets. #
Wealthy owners of reciog strings at th*
North Tvhcm Mr. Garnett knows assured
him that they and others would be glad
to send their horses to Savannah for the
winder if races were to be he'd. rre
fer th’s city to others believing it is well
adapted. New Orleans Is too distant, and
th re is the additional objection of the
almost cons*ant rains that fall there dur
ing tho w nter. Mr. Garnett said he
thought there would be no difficulty in
filling 1,000 seal's with the best horse?.
Mr. Saunders was called cn. and his
views wore much the same as others who
had spoken. He has been engaged in rac
ing for many years, and Is thoroughly fa
m: Hr with everything pertaining to the
rpori v£ kings.” Many owners of
strings In the North and East, he said,
are looking for just such a pace as Sa
vannah to winter their horses. The time
D ripe for the establishment of a course,
and about patronage, Mr. Saunders
sa’d, there will be not Ihs slightest ques
tion. Owners are now struggling with the
difficulty of getting as far away from
h?me as New Orleans, the only winter
racing town in the South, while San
Francisco is too far away to ba consid
ered.
A discussion as to th* money New Or
leans makes out of its race meetings th*n
ensued, Mr. Saunders being asked if he
knew w hat amount is regarded as that
derived by the c ty f om the stay of the
many virltors and hers *8 during one sea
son. He answered that more than sl/00,-
009 has been sealed upon \s an ertlmate
* f the revenue the city derives, while Mr.
Maxwell dfclnr and t % at the Ttmes-Demo
crat had computed $1 500,(00 as the amount
the city made during the last meeting in
New Orleans.
For every horse quartered et the coirs'*
during a meeting, Mr. Saunders said. t
least $3 a day could be co~>id*'ed as tha
expense of maintenance. whll> the owners,
stablemen and followers of race mee in*;s
may bo counted upon to spend any an. unt
of money. It Is not only to animals iu -
ning In races that a club may lcok or ex
penditure?. for the owners hive ccl s a. on?
that they work out in prepnratl n f>r
spring meetings elsewhere. The e cost just
a? much ns the racers.
Mr. Owens, to get down to something
practical, called attention to the old T*n
Rroeek course west of the city. He
the property Is now* own'd by the Agricul
tural and Mechanical Association, that It
1* in good condition and could be securel
by a club upon the expiration of ihe pres
ent lease in August. The track was for
merly regarded, he said, as cne of tho
best in the South.
Mr. Lofton said he could see no rorsm
why a Jockey club should not be rucce'f?-
ful. with the right men at the head to In
spire confidence, ond he proposed that a
committee be appointed to consider all
phases of tho matter and report to a sub
sequent meeting. The motion was adopt and,
Mr. Starr offering the amendment iha'
the chairman of the meeting be the elev
enth member and chairman of the com
mittee.
After n talk by Mr. L. J. Maxwell, who
said he thought something like 123,000, or
$30,000, might be needded for the enterp i e
and that revenues from a good, well-or b r
ed race course would insure a paying In
vestment for those who put in their mon
ey, the ccflnmlttee wns named. The -
in* then adjourned, rubject to the cai! of
the chair. All who ntemdei seemed t *
agree thoroughly with th* speakers in
their views of the race track question, nn i
the prospect for winter racing in Savannah
Is bright.

CIO Council’* Brief. Rot Well At
tended Sexulon.
The City Council held a very short
meeting last night and transacted tho
smallest amount of business of any dur
ing the present admlnis ration. Another
feature of the meeting was that every
member of the board was present, some
thing that has not happened before In sev
eral months, owing tn the absence from
the city cf members, or iilness on tho
part cf themselves or members of their
families.
The fact that Mayer Myers had invited
the entire board to accom; any him to
the Masonic fair doubtless had something
to do with the br vity of the meeting.
The chief buslno s of lnterts: transact
ed, perhaps, was a resolution authorizing
the Mayor to contract with the Georgia
Telephone Company to furn'sh all the
city phones Tots is underload to mean
that the telephone t now in use will be
taken out. The matter was discussed in
caucus by the Aldermen and the conclu
sion In favor of th Georgia Company is
said to have boon iasrd on the tdea that
the city should encouraßO home enter
rrires. Mr. J. Fe ris Cann aptea"cd be
f >re the coirrai tec reptesenting the Geor
gia Telephone Company. It Is also under
stood that the city vyi.l economize by us
ing the new 'phones at reduced rates.
A resolution was adopted Instructing
the Director of Public Works to adver
tise for bids for the cld lamp posts, either
as they stand or after removal by the
city.
Superintendent Ashmore's suggestion
that ihe city Invite the -National Educa
tional Association.which will hold Its an
nual s sslon In Charleston in July, to visit
Sovar.nah. was r ferred to the Mayor
with power to act. The Invitation will
doubtless be extended.
An adverse report was made by the
Committee cf the Whole upon the petition
of certain owners of office property on the
north side of Bay street against the use
of locomotives on River street, the com
mittee holding that the apprehensions of
the petitioners were unfounded.
A petition was race ved from the Retail
Clerks’ Association asking for the in
dorsement by Council of the early closing
movement tn the lnt, rest of working girls
and men. The petition was referred to the
Committee of the Whole.
The Georgia Infirmary petitioned to be
relieveu of the payment of taxes upon
property In the Dasher ward, and also of
a paving assessment against the same
property The petlon was referred to the
Committee of the Whole.
Fiumbing Inspector Franw W. Campos
petitioned for an increase in salary of $25
a month in order to be able to maintain a
horEe and buggy to be used in tbe per
formance of his duties. The petition was
referred to the Committee on NVater with
power to act.
Mr. J. R. Saussy was present for the pur.
pose of obtaining information os to the
fate of a petition, which he put In some
time since, asking the city os to certain
of his clients' titles to certain lots in
Springfield plantation, on the ground
that the present titles do not properly de
scribe the property. He was Informed
that his petition had been adversely re
torted upon at the previous meeting. To
this Mr. Saussy raised the point that he
had not been given the opportunity to ap
pear before the committee to which the
matter was referred. Mayor Myers replied
that as he had made a statement of the
matter to Council at the time of present
ing the petition, it was not supposed that
he had anything further to say in the mat
ter. Mr. Saussy aroused the laughter of
Council by replying that It would be very
unusual indeed if a lawyer could not find
something to say in behalf of his client.
Council seemed indisposed to reopen the
matter. It being mated that the commit
tee’s reports was based upon the opinion
of* the city attorney, and Mr. Saussy inti
mated that he would seek redress in the
courts.
A delegation from the labor unions was
present at the meeting, expecting to hear
something from tho petition presented at
the previous meeting, urging upon Council
to adopt the n'.ne-hour day for all Its city
work, to employ only union labor on pub
lic works, and to specify in all contracts
that only union labor should be employed
on city work. No report was made uprn
the petition, however, somewhat to the
surprise of the delegation. Someone re
marked that the union men had evidently
overlooked the fact that the election was
over.

Hartrldge’s Majority in the Fourth
District Only <l2 Votes—Citizens
Rolled l p Heavy Majorities tn the
First and Second Districts and Did
Very Well In the Third—The Col
lins-Russell Episode Still the Sub
ject of Much Discussion —Mr. Col
lins Thinks He Was Badly Treat
ed In the Rnnks of Ills Own
Faction.
The County Executive Committee met
at the Court House at noon yesterday
and consolidated the returns from the pri
mary election. The official figures differ
but slightly from thoce given In the
Morning News and the few minor changes
were not sufficient to hold out even the
slightest degree of hope to any of the
defeated candidates.
After the vote had been consolidated
and the result announced by the chairman
the secretary was instructed to send a
certified copy of the returns, showing the
vote given for judge and solicitor gen
eral, to the office of the state chairman at
Atlan<a as required by the resolutions
providing for the state primary.
Trouble was not taken to ascertain the
exact number of votes polled, but as there
were 6,156 votes in the boxes just a few
minutes ljefore the polls closed, and as
at least one of these boxes showed an in
crease of three votes. It Is fair to put
the total at 5,160. A glance over the
list will show that no candidates received
the full vote, every one of those having
no opposition being scratched to some ex
tent. The two candidates for solicitor
general together received 5,108 votes, so
here were at least fifty-two voters who
did not vote for solicitor general. An
addition of Ihe votes of the opposing can
didates for each office will show that this
ratio wrfs preserved throughout. In fact,
it was a common thing in counting the
split tickets to find that the voter had
chosen not to vote for either of the can
didates for someone of the offices. These
favors were pretty well distributed, how
ever. The legislative candidates were
more frequently slighted in this respect
than any others.
An analysis of the tabulated vote shows
that the Citizens' strongholds were in
the First and Second districts, though
many of their candidates received good
votes in the Third district. Mr. Osborne
received a majority In every district ex
cept (he Fourth, and in this district the
majority of his opponent was only 62. In
the First Mr. Osborne’s k majority was
440; 111 the Second, 344, and In the Third.
174. All the Citizens’ candidates received
heavy majorities tn the First and Second
districts, with the exception of Mr. Col
lins, whose majority In the Second was
small. 1
The Third district displayed considerable
independence in its vote. It gave young
Waring Russell a majority over Mr. Col
lins, and Whelan a slight majority over
Horrigan. It gave Major Schwarz 200 ma
jority over Colonel Brooks, but also gave
Captain Dilion 70 majority over Marcus
Baker. It gave Dr. Keller a good ma
jority over Coroner Goette, and favored
Waring Russell In preference to Mr.
Thompson. The Fourth District came
nearer splitting even than any of the
others. The Fourth had been regarded as
the Liberal stronghold, and its failure to
show the expected majorities for the Lib
eral ticket was one of the surprises of the
day.
Waring Russell. Jr., led the ticket in
the Fourth with 276 majority, and Captain
Dillon came next with 234. Coroner Goette
got 142 majority there, but Major Schwarz,
on the Citizen's ticket, received 873 votes
for Sheriff, as against 806 for Colonel
Brocks. The vote, both for County Com
missioners and for representatives In the
Fourth, was very close.
The defeat of Captain Dillon by Mr. M.
S. Baker for tax receiver, and the defeat
of Mr. J. S. Collins by Mr. Waring Rus
sell, Jr., for Clerk of tho Ciiy Court, were
the two features of the election most dis
cussed yesterday. Captain Dillon's defeat
was explained on the score of the unex
pected landslipe in favor of the Citizen's
ticket, but Mr. Collins’ failure to land with
his ticket is another matter. That Mr. Col
lins was badly knifed in his own ranks Is
a matter of public notoriety. In fact, in
no other way could his defeat be explained.
The Citizens' leaders are a!! expressing
their regrets that a man who had labored
so unceasingly and so effectively for the
sueccess of the ticket throughout the
campaign should' have failed of election
under such circumstances. This does not
soothe Mr. Collins’ wounded feelings, and
has not hesitated to express himself on the
matter with the intimation that he has
a knife up his sleeve for the peo
ple who did the work. It Is truo that the
wide personal popularity of Mr. Russell
would have enabled him to run ahead of
his ticket anyway. Mr. Russell did not
hesitate to make use of hts personal In
fluence to secure votes for himself from
the opposition, and being a popular mem
ber of several of the secret orders, his ap
peals were not without effect. Mr. Collins
could overlook all this, but the fact that
some of (he principal workers on tho Citi
zen's side conducted an organized move
ment against him, especially in the Sec
ond District, Is what hurts. While Mr.
Collins does not-tntertaln the highest feel
ings of regard for some of his own party
at present some of the Liberal leaders are
saying hard things about Mr. Russell, be
cause of the manner in which he got out
end hustled to the neglect of the rest of
tlie ticket.
