20 TO BE TEACHERS O\E HUDRED AND THREE APFLI CA.VTS FOR EXAMINATION. OVER NINETY OF THEM WOMEN RE SILT OF EXAMINATIONS TO BE KNOWN JULY' 14. Appointment* to Varnncle* In the Public School* to Be Made From Those Who Passed the Best Exami nation and Whose Experience, General Ability and Appearance Make Them Eligible*—The Number of Applicants the largest In Re cent Years and Their General Ap pearance the Best. One hundred and three applicants for teachers' positions in the public schools of Chatham county were examined yes terday at the Chatham Academy by Supt. Ashmore, and a committee from the Board of Education. forty of the applicants were white an i 63 were colored. It was the larg est number that has ever applied at an annual examination in Chatham countv. There were but ten men in the list. The examinations began at 9 o'clock in the morning and continued through the day, some of the teachers finishing at 3 o'clock and others taking the en tire day, until 7 o'clock at night. The questions were in arithmetic, English grammar, geography, history, spelling, reading and writing, In addition to which the applicants were graded in experience in teaching, professional preparation, health, voice and general personal appearance. In that respect it was the best class of teachers that has ever appeared for examination. In •very way the applicants so far. as appearance, training and general quali fications could be Judged, were far above the average. The examination was conducted by Supt. Ashmore, As sistant Superintendent Ferguson, Col. Mercer, president of the Board cf Education, and Commissioners Blun, Saussy and Dunn, and the principals of all the schools. The examination papers were sub mitted to Superintendent Ashmore and will be passed upon by committees at once. The result will be announced at the next meeting of the Board of Education July 14. From the general appearance of the applicants and the manner in which they undertook the examination, which in itself, was more difficult than those of former years in view of the purpose of the board to elevate the standard of ability of the teachers in the Chatham schools, the percentage which will pass success fully will he greater than heretofore. In scholarship the minimum percen tage i 75 to 90. The usual number which passes is about one-third. While there are at present no vacan cies In the schools, it is likely that there will be eight or ten before Oct. 1, the opening of the next school year. The record of the applicants for places will stand indefi nitely. If any desire to enter future examinations, however, with a view to obtaining a higher standing they will be entitled to do so. In fact a number of those in the examinations yester day took last year’s examinations. One noticeable fact this year was that none of the applicants abandoned the ex amination. It is seldom that several do not drop out. Superintendent Ashmore said last night that so far as he was able to Judge, without having any knowledge of the papers themselves, the exami nation had been the most satisfactory that had been held since he has been superintendent. BY ARMY OFFICERS. Irish Jasper Greens Will Be Judged in Tlielr Prise Drill. The Irish Jasper Greens’ prize drill at Bohan's Pavilion at Tybee Island on July 1 will be judged by Capt. Cruikshank, Lieut. Gilmer and Lieut. Bunker, the same officers of the army post at Fort Screven, who judged the regimental prize drill held at the Guards’ Hall a few weeks ago. The great exactness demanded by these officers in the execution of the manual of arms makes a drill that they Judge decidedly interesting. It is probable that the picnic of the Greens and their prize drill will be greatly enjoyed by all who avail themselves of the invi tations they may be fortunate enough to receive. It is probable that a silver cup will be presented to Private W. J. Flood of the Greens by his comrades on the oc casion of the picnic. Private Flood won the regimental medal, and the company wants to do something hand some for him in return for the honor that he did the command. Such a presentation would be a pleasing fea ture of the drill and picnic. COLORED MASON'S TO MEET. The Grand Lodge to Convene in Americas on Tuesday. The thirty-second annual communi cation of the Most Worshipful Union, Grand Lodge of Ancient. Free and Ac cepted Masons, will be held In Ameri cus, commencing on Tuesday morning. The Grand Lodge is composed of over 200 lodges located in various parts of the state; seven of them are in this county. The Grand Lodge has just finished the erection of a commodious three-story brick building to be used for a schol and orphanage. The coming session is expected to be a very interesting one. and much leg islation for the good of the order* is looked for. Among the Grand Lodge officers who will attend from this ciy are Past Grand Master John H. De veaux, Past Grand Master Alexander Harris and Grand Secretary Sol C. Johnson All of the lodges will send representatives. Savannah Boy In Philippines. Lieut. George J. Barthelmess of the Bepublican Blues has received a let ter from his friend. Private George \V. Rees, who is a Savannah hoy serving In the Philippines with Company K of the Second Infantry. Private Rees •was formerly a member of the Blues. He writes that he is standing the Philippine climate much better than most of the American soldiers, and that his officers marvel at his health fulness. Special Prtigramr of Music. The Christian Church has Just se cured anew organ and to-day a ■pedal programme of music will be given at the morning service Miss Meta Fretwell will play two organ number*, and will accompany Mr John H Banks in two solo numbers The McArthur A Son* Company, from whom the organ was purchased, has given a small Cbapolatt* organ to the holiday-school. ! TEACHERS CHOSE OFFICERS. An Election Closed the State Con vention at Tybee. The Georgia State Teachers’ Asso ciation adjourned yesterday morning, after having been in session three days at Tybee Island. The next conven tion will be held during the summer of 1903 at Cumberland Island, the date being left to the Board of Directors. Chief in interest at the concluding session was the election of officers to serve for the ensuing year. This re sulted as follows: President—J. Henry Walker, Griffin. First Vice President—N. E. Ware, Hawkinsvilie. Second Vice President—Miss Jessie Snyder, Milledgeville. Treasurer—D. C. Barrow, University of Georgia. Secretary—G. F. Oliphant, Barnes vllle. The following committee was named to continue the efforts of the teachers to have the Legislature order the State University to remain open during the summer for the instruction of teachers in normal work: J. C. Woodward. At lanta; L. B. Evans, Augusta; W. C. Wright, Macon; J. M. Slaton, Atlanta, and G. F. Oliphant, Barnesville. But one paper was read during the session. This was by Dr. Theodore Toepel, in charge of the physical cul ture of the Atlanta schools. This dealt at length with the subject of physical exercise for school children, holding that it is a means for the relief of tired mentality and rendering the children better able to profit by their instruc tion. Most of the teachers came to the city after the last session, but quite a number remained over. Intending to spend several days longer at Tybee. Afternoon and night trains were taken at Savannah by teachers for their homes. They had a pleasant stay at Tybee, and all feel that they have been benefited and their instructive powers Improved by their intercourse. FAILURE OFPOTATO CROP. Snbject of Track Growers' Dlscns sion at (oort House. A meeting of truck growers of Chat ham county was held in the Superior Court room at noon yesterday. The meeting had been called by Maj. G. M. Ryals, at the instance of a number of the growers, and had for '♦.s purpose the discussion of the cause for the fail ure of the potato crop in this section during the present year. Mr. C. E. G. Fell was chosen chair man of the meeting, which was at tended by thirty-five or forty of the leading truck growers of the county. It was a secret gathering and its de liberations were not given to the pub lic. It is known, however, that the fail ure of the potato crop formed the principal subject of discussion. Many of the growers ascribe the failure to a certain brand of fertilizer that they used, very much in the nStbre of an experiment during the last season. Others had other explanations of the disastrous results. No decisive action, it is learned, was taken at the meeting, but it is be lieved that legal proceedings are not at all unlikely in the near future. It is claimed that some of the fertilizer sold failed to come up to the guaran teed analysis furnished by the sellers. MEETING OF STATE BAR. Savannah Lawyers to Attend Gath ering nt Warm Springs. The meeting of the Georgia Bar As sociation, that will fie held at Warm Springs on July 3, 4 and 5, promises to be an occasion of great interest and value to the members of the legal pro fession in Georgia. An elaborate pro gramme has been prepared and ad dresses will be delivered by some of the most prominent lawyers in the United States. The programme has already been published in the Morning News. In addition to addresses on legal prob lems of magnitude and importance it includes discussions of matters of spe cial interest to the legal fraternity In Georgia, and as a matter of necessity, to the people of the state at large. A number of members of the Savan nah bar will attend the meeting, among them being Judge Pope Barrow, of the Superior Court, Col. P. W. Meidrim, Solicitor General W. W. Osborne. George W. Owens, Esq., and several others. The delegation from Savannah will probably be considerably increased by the fact that Judge Barrow him self will attend the meeting and that the Superior Court, therefore, will rot be in session. PYTHIAN'S’ DRILL AT TYBEE. Uniformed Rank Picnic and Prize Drill To-morrow. Georgia Circle, No. 1, Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias, will have its an nual picnic and prize drill to-morrow at Graham's pavilian at Tybee.

PLANT SYSTEM’S AUDITING HEAD WILL BE A. C. L.’S CONTROLLER. Officials Expecting the Circular to Be Issued This Week—Will Believe Uncertainty—This nu Longer Ex ists for Some—Coast Line. Alter the Consolidation. YV 111 Be Operated as Tno Divisions—Mr. Denham and Mr. Myers to Be General Superin tendents—Mr. Hayloxv Will Me. main-Report That Mr. Craig Will Be General Passenger Agent Will Not Down—Schedule Changes and Traffic Changes July 1. The situation will be cleared for Plant System officials this week. The uncertainty under which most of them have labored for some weeks, tn fact, ever since the announcement of the acquisition of the Plant System by the Atlantic Coast Line, will be relieved. This Is the view they take of It, and they are eagerly awaiting the official announcement that they expect will be made very soon by circular. "This circular,” said a Plant System official yesterday, "will probably be is sued from Wilmington, and will be dated as of July 1. We look for It, however, a little sooner than July 1. It may make its appearance here this week." In the meantime, however, informa tion that they will be retained In the service has been reaching some of the officials. Controller H. C. Prince of the Plant System will be made con troller of the consolidated system. This will mean the transfer of Mr. Prince's headquarters from Savannah to Wil mington, the general headquarters of the Coast Line. Mr. Prince has many friends here. He has been controller of the Plant System since Mr. Morel, having come originally from the Louis ville and Nashville. He is an experi enced and capable railroad man. General Superintendent W. B. Den ham of the Plant System will be a gen eral superintendent of the Atlantic Coast Line, which will be formed into two divisions. The exact line of divi sion is not yet known, but it is not im probable that it will be Charleston. The Plant System will constitute the Southern Division, and the Atlantic Coast Line, as it now exists, will be the Northern Division. Though they will exercise supervision over divisions, the authority of the general superin tendents will be much greater than that of division superintendents, being, in fact, as great as it is in the present operation of the two properties. Mr. J. F. Divine, general superin tendent of the lines of the Atlantic Coast Line south of N. C., will probably retire upon the consolida tion, possibly being made a vice presi dent of the company. Mr. Divine is a veteran in the service of the Coast Line and a stockholder. The authority of Mr. E. T. D. Myers, superintendent of the lines north of Weldon, will, it is thought, be extended as far south as Charleston. He and Mr. Denham, in that event, will be the two general su perintendents, reporting to General Manager J. R. Kenly. No changes will be made In the oper ating or mechanical departments of the Plant System upon the consolidation. Superintendent of Transportation W. J. Haylow will continue in that ca pacity, and the other officials will be retained. General Freight Agent James Men zies, as the Morning News has re ported, will be general freight agent under the new regime. The Morning News published a report that Col. B. W. Wrenn, passenger traffic manager of the Plant System, W’ould leave the service, and that General Freight and Passenger Agent A. J. Craig of the Charleston and Western Carolina would take charge of the passenger department here. This report Is still persistent. It is almost positively de clared to be the way the event will show. Mr. Craig Is now with a road that is owned by the Atlantic Coast Line. While it Is the avowed policy of the Coast Line not to displace any offi cials of the Plant System that it could retain, it is held that Col. Wrenn was not inclined to accept what was offered him. This meant that an open ing would be presented, so it is main tained that Mr. Craig will come to Sa vannah to be general passenger agent. The report is given credence among Plant System officials, who say, how ever, that they do not know officially that It is true. That, in fact, is their position upon all the places except those of Mr. Prince and Mr. Menzies. Trackage rights of the Southern Railway from Hardeeville to Jackson ville will be effective on and after July 1. This will mean a changed condi tion in the railroad situation. The Coast Line and the Southern Railway will be warm competitors for through business. Under the present contract between the Plant System and the Southern, the Southern's, trains are handled by the Plant System south of Savannah, and the Plant System gets the revenues. Under the new con tract, the Southern will run Its own trains from Hardeeville to Jackson ville, paying for the right. While the Southern will do neither local freight nor local passenger business between Hardeeville and Jacksonville, there will be plenty of through business over which it and the Coast Line can fight. Six passenger and four freight trains a day will be the Southern’s. Four of the passenger trains will be via Sa vannah. while two will be via Jesup from the West. The Jesup short-line will he used by the Southern's through trains 1 , the Coast Line continuing to run via Waycross a part of its trains. Next winter, however, the Coast Line will operate its through vestibule trains via the short line. Changes in sched ules will be made on July I. TO INDEX CITY' RECORDS. Mr. Thninas Hnlllgnn Is to Be Ap pointed to Do the Work. It is said that Mr. Thomas Halligan Is soon to be appointed to the tempor ary position of Index clerk. Under a resolution passed some time ago, a committee of the City Council Is em powered to employ some competent man to Index the records. Mr. Halli gan was spoken of for the place, but the appointment hung fire. It is now understood that he Is soon to be ap pointed. as there is a growing need for the proper Indexing of the records.

Frank Fitts Charged Belore Jury With Murder of Newsome. The trial of Frank Pitts, known otherwise as Frank Jones, for the murder of Willie Newsome, was begun in the Superior Court yesterday morn ing. oAing to the difficulty experi enced in securing a Jury the exam ination of witnesses was not begun until after 12 o'clock and at 1 a re cess was taken until to-morrow morn ing. The killing occurred on West Broad street, over a year ago. There has been one former effort to determine the merits of the case, but on that occasion the jury could not agree, and a mistrial was declared. Pitts has been in Jail ever since. The only witness examined yester day was Garrett Newsome, a brother of the man w"ho was killed. He testi fied that he and his brother, -Pitts and several other negroes had started out on a serenading tour on the night of the killing and that all were drink ing. A quarrel had arisen and wea pons had been freely used. In the melee the witness had been cut twice with a razor and Pitts, who the wit ness stated had been the inspiration of the row. had been rather badly beaten. Then Pitts wandered away. A half hour afterwards Garrett and Willie Newsome were standing on a corner of West Broad street, when Pitts rapidly approached. The witness swore that without any notice of his Intention and without any provoca tion being given, Pius shot and killed his brother. Mr. Frank M. Oliver, who appeared for the defense, endeavored to secure from the witness an admission that upon Pitts’ appearance he was greeted with cries of, "There he is. Kill him! Kill him!" and others to the like ef fect, but Newsome could not be shak en in his statement first made. After the introduction of this evi dence It became apparent that that case could not be concluded during the day and in order to prevent the jury bring tied up on Sunday and to give its members a needed rest, Judge Bar row continued the case until to-mor row. To this course counsel for the state and the defense both consented More than twenty Jurymen, placed upon the voir dire, went off for cause. It was the general, if somewhat un charitable opinion, that the fact that the next day was Sunday had some thing to do with the extraordinary sen sitiveness of the jurymen’s con sciences. CONGREGATIONAL MINISTER. The New Pastor to Conduct First s-rvlcc To-day at His Church. Rev. Thomas B. Lillard, the recently elected pastor of the First Congrega tional Church, colored, arrived in the city on Friday. He will conduct serv ices for the first time at the church this morning at 11 o’clock and again at 8:30 o’clock to-night. Rev. Lillard comes to the church highly recommended. He is a gradu ate of the* Maryville (Tenn.) College, which, until recently, allowed co-edu cation of the races. Rev. Lillard was the last colored student to graduate before this plan was abolished. After graduating from college, Rev. Lillard entered the Hartford Theological Seminary, Hartford, Conn., from which he graduated with honor. The Congregational Church is one of the largest of that denomination in the state, and has among its member ship some of the most prominent and intelligent colored citizens. The former pastors of the chuich have all been able men, and from the recommenda tion that the new pastor brings with him it would seem that he will be in line with them.

DIETER’S ROBBERS GROVES, MAHLEY AND WATERS OS TRIAL THIS WEEK. CONSPIRACY OF HIGHWAYMEN. MANY CRIMINAL CASES ASSIGNED IN SUPERIOR COURT. W. C. Grove*. E. H.

This will be a week of interesting and important criminal trials in the Supe rior Court. Beginning with to-mor row. for which day a number of cases have been assigned, every minute of the court's time will be occupied until Thursday in determining the guilt or innocence of the alleged criminals who now wait trial. There are half a dozen cases assigned for trial to-morrow, the most import ant being that of Henry Mitchell, charged with robbery. In addition to his case there are others, of burglary and assault with intent to murder, to occupy the attention of the court dur ing the day. Tuesday will witness two trials of marked importance. W. c! Groves, E. H. Mahley and Joe Waters, who are charged with an attempt to rob Joe Dieter, a butcher in the market, will face a jury for this offense. The incidents of this somewhat re markable case are locally familiar. According to the evidence given at the preliminary trial before the recorder and to the grand jury there was a well-laid and thoroughly concocted plan to rob Dieter of the large sum of money he was accustomed to carry home from the market on Saturday nights. Everything was in readiness for the immediate execution of the plan and Dieter was only saved from becoming the victim of the conspira tors by his decision, made at the last moment, to go home by another route than tha't he usually followed. He never was Actually held up. but as the conspirators were only prevent ed from accomplishing their purpose by an unforeseen contingency, the state believes it will be able to make out a good case. Groves, who is charged with being the principal offender and the brains and inspiration of the in tended crime, has been in trouble on various occasions and for the commis sion of various offenses during the past eighteen months. In addition to the solicitor general. C. T. & J. F. Cann will appear for the prosecution, and the trial will be interesting beyond the question of a doubt. DeChrlst’* Cane. The second interesting case is that against James DeOhrist, a young white boy against whom the grand jury re turned an indictment for assault with intent to rape at its last session. Ac cording to the indictment DeObrist's intended victim was Deanie Wentz, a young white girl living at Thundernolt, but according to the testimony of the witnesses there are at least three or four other cases ot' exactly the same character that could properly and legal ly have been lodged against the ac cused. It is impossible, of course, to state the true facts of the case in ad vance of their development on the wit ness stand at the trial, but the wit nesses who have heretofore made state ments have pictured DeChrlst either a sexual mono-maniac or else a tery fiend in human shape. Tha boy is only about 17 years old. For KeretvlnK Stolen Goods. On Wednesday Dennis Leonard, E. A. Leonard and Richard Brown will be trieii for the offense Of receiv,ng str!<-n Ko.'ls. knowing them to have been staler., The case springs from that against Charles Kimball, a negro, who at the last term of the court was tried and convicted of burglary. He had broken and entered the foundry of John Rourke & Sons, and stolen a large quantity of brass, which was after wards sold by him to the Messrs. Leonard. The grand jury has declared that this brass was received by the defend ants with the guilty knowledge of the fact that it had been stolen and it will be for a petit jury to determine ulti mately the question of their guilt or innocence. Both the Leonards are well known and popular young men, E. A. Leonard being captain of the Emmet Rifles. Richard's Mnrder Trial. Sherman Richards will be tried on Thursday for the murder of Hagar Robinson. This will be the second trial of the case. At the first trial Richards was convicted and sentenced, but the Supreme Court granted anew trial. The woman Richards killed had been living with him for some time, and the evidence for the state showed he shot her in a fit of drunken jealousy or en nui. The defendant claimed that the shot had been fired accidentally, while he and the woman were playing with the weapon. No cases have been assigned for either Friday or Saturday, but it is al together probable that some of the cases now under assignment for days earlier in the week will toe passed and reassigned for these days.

Mr, Ben Foster bought a home on the installment plan in 1879, paying $25 per month and interest; at the same time he took an endowment policy of life insurance for $3,000 in an old line company. He felt that in event of his death before he had finished paying for the house, his family would not have to sacrifice it. In the same year his friend, Sam Dean, moved into a house across the street, paying S2O a month rent. He laughed at Fostqr for buying property, saying it was “cheap er to rent!” Dean also insured his life for $3,000, but claimed that he could invest his money better than any one else, so he took the cheapest assess ment insurance he could find. He rent ed his home and rented his insurance, each by the month and at actual cost, and “had his money's worth,” so he said, as he went along. Foster and Dean are now over 50 years of age, and in talking over old times, said Foster: “I have just had an offer of $6,000 for my house; I don’t like to sell it; it has been my home for twenty years.” “No,” replied Dean, “don’t do it. We are getting old and a house is a pretty good place to go to. I wish I had done as you did. Here I have paid out in rent during all these years nearly as much as you are of fered for your house, and have nothing to show for it.” “Yes,” said Foster, "and I paid the last premium on my policy last year and now it is worth $4,000 in cash.” “That is where I have made another mistake,” answered Dean. “My insurance is costing me four times what it did at first, although the agent said the rate would never increase. I would drop it now if I could get into a good old line company, but since I had the grippe I cannot pass the examination. If I had only looked at the end instead of the be ginning I would be better-off to-day.” There is no need to say more—send your age and address to Harty & Ap ple. managers for Georgia, the Massa chusetts Mutual Life Insurance Com pany, 117 Bay street, east, Savannah, Ga. —ad.
