Savannah, Ga., Oct. 31.—The meet
ing of the Savannah Chapter of the
D. A. R. which is to be held tomor
row at noon at the home of Mrs. J.
S. Wood, the Regent, is awaited with
great interest In Savannah because
of the fact that the question of en
dorsing a candidate fcr Vice Presi
dent General of the organization is
to come up at that time. This ques
tion has already had a most emphatic
•ffect upon Lachlan McIntosh Chapter
and there is much concern to know
just what is going to happen when
Savdnnah Chapter comes to consider
It.
It appears that there has grown up
In Savannah two factions in the mem

and the other Mrs. S. B. C. Morgan,
of Savannah. Lachlan McIntosh

recommend its re-modeling or tho

our opinion, seriously militate against

e, the Peoples League, believe
and maintain that the future 6f Way-
cross is absolutely dependable upon
fair and equitable representation and
an administration of our civic affairs
that shall represent every phase of
our citizenship.
Therefore, be it resolved, that the
Peoples League enunciatq as their
principles and platform their unswerv
ing support to an economical busi
ness administration of the civic af
fairs of Waycross, believing in a gov- j
eminent for and by the people with
out regard to wealth or influenc*.
We advocate the liberal encourage j

from the curses of pestilence, of fam- j cross that will tend to develop her

I the City should be rr-JIstricted, thus
j giving all the residents of our City
j more ’representation on the board of
aldermen..
I 2. We believe that the City should
at the beginning of each year make
a' careful estimate of the needs of
each department and appropriate
from the income the amounts neces
sary, and each department should be
of Waycross.
11. We advocate that immediate
steps be taken for the pavement of
ihe sidewalks of our City, especially
in the besiness section, and the grad
ual, permanent improvement of our
streets as rapidly as funds will per
mit.
12. We protest against convict
labor being used in any way in an
tagonism to free labor, or for private
individuals, or enterprises, and insist
that they be solely employed in work
on public highways.
13. Wo favor a more efficient sys-
‘cm cf sanitary inspection for the pro*
tecticn of the public health, a re*
O! gor.l:atlon of our system for collect
ing and destruction o.' garbage, and
favor the rigid enforcement of all or
dinances pertaining to health.
H. We believe that the present
City Hall can be re modeled to meet
the present needs of the city, and be
lieve that the funds of the City can
be employed for more necessary Im
provements, and oppose a large ex
penditure for a new City Hall at this
time..
15. We favor , the board of aider-
men taking ltftpfflUafe steps- to en

Mayor's salary from (600.00 to $300.00
per annum and the establishment
at ns earlier date as possible of
a Recorder’s Court to handle the crim
inal business now coming before the
mayor,

Vnldosta, Ga., Oct. 30.—Tho mystery
surrounding the disappearance of
Samuel M. Clyatt from a point be
tween this city and Haliira, which wa» ■
reported on Saturday last, remain*
unsolved. More than 200 friends of
Mr. Clyatt from Vnldosta and Haliira
spent yesterday and today in a fruit
less search for him In the section bo-
tween here and Hnhlra. The wood*
distance of 10 miles were scour
ed, while others drag god the river In
the belief that ho had been murdered
and his body thrown into tho stream,
hut absolutely no trace was found of
tlie missing man.
The buggy which ho was driving
when last seen, was found lodged
against a telephone pole near the
Crawford bridge across the Wlllacoo-
cbeo river, but Mr. Clyatt was seen
in the buggy by one or two parties
at a point 6 miles north of there, and
it is evident that the horse turned
around and went some distance after
Mr. Clyatt left, or was taken from
the vehicle. The horse finally ran
against the telephone pole and pulled
loose from the buggy.
Mr. Clyntt's coat and hat were
found in the buggy, and It Is reported
that his shoes wore also found on a
stump by tho side of the road. How
ever, when Sheriff Gornto, from Val
dosta, reached the scene, neither coat,
lmt nor shoes wore to be found. The
officers have not yet been able to
learn what became of them.
No greater mvstery than the Msap-
pearance of Mr. Clyatt has over oo*
curred In this section. There waa
numberless conjectures udvanced, but
the general impression Is that he waa
made.

ditures of the city should be careful-
