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 bership of the D. A. R. One repre sents Mrs. W. L. Peel, of Atlanta, and the other Mrs. S. B. C. Morgan, of Savannah. Lachlan McIntosh Chapter held one meeting and endors ed Mrs. Peel and held another and endorsed Mrs. Morgan. Now the contest is to be carried Into the Savannah Chapter an. » is expected there will ue an Interesting time no matter which two of the ladies idorsed for the place.

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.

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. 3.
