TYBEE GAYETY.
nanrr Night at the South End Pa
vilion Attracted Many from Town.
The magical influence of the moon
combined with delightful weather made
i as t evening at Tybee an ideal one. It
l„ almost the first Thursday night this
summer that the weather has been all
that it should be, and the young peo
ple who went down for the dancing at
the South End looked up at the cloud
less sky and were duly grateful.
There were many pleasant parties,
down early In the afternoon for a bath,
arriving later to enjoy a fish supper,
and gathered afterwards on the pa
\lllon for dancing, or strolling on the
beach in the moonlight. Altogether the
attendance was the largest of the sea
son.
The excellent music furnished by
Rosenfeld's orchestra this year at the
South End forms a particular attrac
tion on Thursday evenings when the
late train is put on for the conven
ience of city folks, and the quiet life
of town is pleasantly forgotten In the
gayety that is made possible by the
cool, fresh breese* that blow from the
ocean Tybeewards.

Atlanta Xews Notes.
Atlanta, July 2.—The Railroad Com
mission to-day rendered its decision in

cent., on certain classes of freight, just

NEWPORT’S SOCIETY LEADER.
New York. July 3.—Society writers
are trying to agitate the question as
to who will be leader of society at
Newport this summer, and seem much
inclined to fasten that high honor upon
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, the younger,
who was Miss Grace Wilson. It is
urged in her favor that she has money,
the looks, the manners and the savoir
faire to make her the logical candi
date. Mrs. William Astor is too old,
Mrs. John Jacob Astor is in mourning,
Mrs. Ogden Mills 1s too indifferent,
Mrs. Pembroke Jones too new' and so
on through the time-worn fol-de-rol
that one hears at this time of year.
Then there are those who point as ri
vals of Mrs. Vanderbilt, her mother
in-law, the handsome Mrs. Burke-
Roche, clever Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish,
Mrs. George Peabody Wetmore and
Mrs. E. J. Berwind. All have their
strong points and particular following
and only time can solve the important
question.
HOI,EIIO EFFECTS.
Summer gowms for house and street
wear show a firm adherence to the
bolero in one form or another. An
effective illustration of this idea is
shown in a frock of ipauve linen, or at
least the skirt and bolero are in this
fabric. The underbodice i composed
of white broderie anglalse, the skirt
being W'orked to match witji white em
broidery and insertion. Completing the
toilette Is a flat plateau hat, the brim
ruched with roses.
TAX COLLECTOR HAD
FUNDS TO PAY TAXES.
Odd Tarn Taken by Registration
Investigation—Aagnsta News.
Augusta, July 2.—At the investiga
tion by the supervisors of the registry
lists this evening, a number of persons
on trial stated they had not paid their
taxes before registering, but when the
tax collector was questioned, he replied
ln each case: “My books show that his
taxes are fully paid."
The tax collector further states that
he had about $2,000 in his hands for
paying these delinquent's taxes. Pre
sumably this money was put up by the
candidates.
The remains of Buzhardt, the young
man who was accidentally shot by his
friend, Weiseger, at the Isle of Palms,
were brought to Augusta to-night
from Charleston. The funeral will take
place at the family burying ground
near Hephzibah to-morrow.
Allen B. Mette, the Socialist candi
date for Mayor, got his permit from

A secret order is being organized
among the negroes to be known as the
Twentieth Century Club. Its ostensible
purpose is the elevation of the race.
Its specific aim is to regain the negro's
place in politics that has been lost by

STORM AT DOUGLAS.
Rain Wne the Heaviest Ever Re
corded—Damage That Was Doae.
Douglas, Ga„ July 2.—Douglas and
vicinity at 4 o’clock yesterday after
noon was visited for one hour by one
of the greatest downpours of rain ever
known here. It was almost equal to
a cloudburst, accompanied by wind.
The streets and walks are so badly
washed that it will take a large force
of hands several days to repair them.
The wind did no damage, only flatten
ing growing crops. Streams are all
out of their banks, and still rising,
rendering travel almost impossible.
Saw-mill and turpentine operators
are greatly set back in getting raw
material from the woods.
Dr, W, F. Stbbett lost his fish dam
just north of the city, and five or six
years accumulation of fine fish, with
several hundred dollars damage.
The unprecedented hard and con
tinued rains have cut off the corn crops
in Coffee county 33 1-3 per cent., and
cotton fully 50 per cent. Sugar canc,
sweet potatoes, and peas are the only
crops that are up to the standard
Material is being placed on the
ground for the erection of Sweat &
Vickers’ brick block and opera house.
Douglas continues a steady growth
on home capital, new buildings are
going up all over the city.
105 Years Old.
Romeo, Mich.. July 2.—Among nil
the so-called "oldest women in
America” it is to be doubted if few
if any of them have really reached
the age of Mrs. Clarissa LaVene of
this village, who to-day celebrated her
105th birthday. Mrs. LaVene waa born
in Paris. France, ln 1798, and came to
America at the age of 20. She is the
mother of seven children, the eldest
of whom is past TO years of age. With
the exception of n_slight deafness, Mrs.
LaVene retains all her faculties, and,
remarkable as it may seem, her eye
sight is so good that she has never
had te resort to the use of glasses.

VISIT TO FORT SCREVEN
BY SENATOR BACON
May Be Made Next Friday to Decide on Needed
Improvements.
With the object of inspecting Forj
Screven and recommending a number
of improvements, Senator A. O. Bacon
will reach Savannah next Friday and.
in company with Col. R. E. Lester and
a committee from the Chamber of
Commerce, will visit the fort where the
party will be the guests of Lieut. Col.
A. C. Taylor.
Col. Taylcr desires as the first im
provement the filling in and leveling
of the low' ground between the fort and
the Tybee railroad, and also
more barrack room for the men.
The latter is an absolute necessity,
as some of the men now at
the fort are forced to use a building
intended for another purpose because
the regular quarters are not large
enough for their occupancy. It is also
desired to have a better w'harf con
structed and a broad and substantial
board walk built to connect it with the
fort.
Col. J. H. Estill and some others have
been working in a quiet way for some
time to secure not only these improve
ments to the fort, but also to have the
garrison increased from, its present
TO TEST MATERIALS.
Government Will Gnaril Itself
Against False Supplies.
Washington, July 2. —Asa result of
the alleged Irregularities in connection
with the seed contract of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, Secretary Wilson
has taken steps intended to protect,
not only his own department, but oth
ers as well. He has issued an order
establishing in the Bureau of Chem
istry of the Agricultural Department
a laboratory to be known as the con
tracts laboratory, in which all mate
rials to be purchased by the Depart
ment of Agriculture are to be examined
to determine their purity and compli
ance with specifications.
In addition to this, the Secretary has
placed the facilities of the laboratory
at the disposal of other departments,
and it is proposed to have all tests of
articles purchased by the government,
as far as possible, made by it. It is
expected that most of the tests made
for other departments will be chemical
tests. The tests to determine the
strength and other physical qualities
of materials used for public buildings
will still be made as heretofore by the
supervising architect, in the Treasury
Department, and tests of ordnance ma
terials and shipbuilding materials will
of course be made by the War and
Navy Department as heretofore.
Outside of those special tests, that
have already been made by the various
departments, there ary many investiga
tions into the character of supplies
furnished to the government that can
advantageously be made in the new
laboratory. It is proposed to have the
specification for materials of all kinds
drawn with great care and to reject
all that,do not come up to the require
ments.
The determination of the contracts
laboratory in every case will be final.
It is the expectation of Secretary Wil
son that the government will save large
sump of money every year as a result
of this more careful examination of
materials before their acceptance. A
great deai will necessarily depend
upon the extent to which the heads of
the various departmeats avail them
selves of the benefits of the new labora
tory. _
SHOT THROUGH HEART.
Accidental Death of Edgar Rnrt,
Who Handled Pistol.
Columbus, Ga., July 2—Edgar Burt,
the 16-year-old son of James Burt, a
prominent planter and saw mill man
of Hurtsboro, Ala., was accidentally
killed last night at the Hurtsboro oil
mill. He went over to the mill to see
the watchman, Roy Torbett, 'a friend
of his. While examining Torbett’s pis
tol, the weapon was discharged, the
ball going through Burt's heart, kill
ing him almost instantly.
It is said that the boy’s father ob
jected to his going to the mill, but
that other members of the family saw
no harm in his making the trip.
Proceedings Dismissed.
Brevard, N. C., July 2. The proceed
ings instituted against the Toxaway
Company asking for the appointment
of a receiver, have been dismissed. The
action was brought by two stockholders
who have been dissatisfied with the
management for some time. These par
ties have sold out their interest and
withdrawn the ciomplaint.

size, three companies, to six, ten, or
more. The matter w'as also brought
up in the Chamber of Commerce meet
ing some weeks ago, as was reported
at the time, and Col. Estill then an
nounced what had been done and what
it was hoped to do.
It had been planned to have both
Senator Bacon and Senator Clay, Con
gressman R. E. Lester, and others
visit the fort and see for themselves
how greatly it could be improved, en
larged and beautified at the outlay of
comparatively a small amount, and it
is still possible that another party
mav be planned for a visit of inspec
tion a little later in the season.
It was in response to the number
of communications that have passed
between Cos!. Estill and Senator Bacon
on this subject that the Senator yes
terday notified Col. Estill that it would
suit his convenience to make the pro
posed visit to Savannah and the fort
Friday. He was immediately notified
that he would be expected on Friday
and that arrangements for the inspec
tion of the fort would he made.
It is thought the government is fa
vorably disposed toward making the
improvements that will be suggested,
but to impress it the more with the
need for them it ia possible that a
resolution indorsing the plans may be
presented the Legislature of the state.
WILL RE-ELECT DIAZ.
Financiers Would Like to Nee gome
Other President of Mexico.
City of Mexico, July 2.—The unani
mous nomination by the Liberal Union
Convention of President Diaz as a can
didate to succeed himself and his re
election to the presidency, which is a
foregone result of the general election
which takes place this month, while
it could not be otherwise than satis
factory to the people of Mexico gen
erally, is still a cause for some anxiety
in the minds of those who have the
welfare of the republic sincerely at
heart, and who lonic' forward to the
time whan the “jnftker of modern
Mexico” is no more.
The decision of President Diaz to
stand for re-election was somewhat of
a surprise even to his most intimate
political associates. His advanced age
—he was born in it>3o—makes it imper
ative for the nation to look about for
an able successor to take up the reins
of government when death causes the
hand that has so long and so success
fully guided the car of state to release
its grasp.
It is publicly known that the finan
ciers of Europe desire the retirement
of President Diaz solely because they
wish the matter of the succession to
be arranged during his lifetime. This
has been one of the conditions the
Rothschilds have made when appealed
to for a great loan to place Mexico on
a gold standard. They fear that the
President will die suddenly with the
result that the country will be plunged
in confusion and that a soldier will
then seize the presidency, that civil
troubles will ensue and in which case
the bondholders would be the princi
pal sufferers.
Diaz has hitherto been known to ad
mit that he fully realized the force of
this argument in favor of his retire
ment and was willing to sacrifice him
self to the situation. Consequently his
decision to accept another term of of
fice is all the more surprising. The
three other candidates mentioned for
the honor were Limantour. Menas and
Marlschal, but now that Diaz has ac
cepted the renomination they have quit
the race in favor of the incumbent.
It is well understood that those who
have large financial interests in Mex
ico would like to see J. Ives Limantour
secure the presidency, as he is consid
ered by far the most able financier and
diplomat the republic has yet produced.
He was acting president of Mexico
during the visit of President Diaz to
the United States in 1901, and ha* al
ways been considered the choice of
Diaz for his successor, although he is
run close in that respect and in the
favor of the Mexican aristocrats by
Gen. Bernardo Reyes, who was Secre
tary of War and head of the army,
has strong claims to the place. Gen.
Reyes has a more engaging personality
than Senoy Limantour, but he has lost
some of his popularity by showing too
plainly his aspirations for presidential
honors. In the event of the death of
Diaz while in office the presidency
would devolve temporarily at least on
Senor Marlschal, the present Secretary
of State, and w’ho would serve until a
general election could be held.

AMERICAN “HENLEY”
ON THE SCHUYLKILL.

Philadelphia, July 2.—The first Amer
ican "‘Henley," under the auspices of
the neivly organized American Row'ing
Association, was held this afternoon
over the national course on the Schuyl
kill river in Fairmont Park.
The regatta to-day was not as fully
representative of American oarsmen as
the stew-ards of the association had
hoped it would be. The greatest in
terest was manifested in the eight
oared shell race between the Argonauts
from Canada, Yale Freshmen, a mixed
crew from the University of ‘Pennsyl
vania and the Union Boat Club of Bos
ton. The Canadians won easily by
four lengths.
In the first, single sculls, Ernest
George of Boston defeated Robert P.
Blake, also of Boston.
The closest race of the day w'as be

and the Aerial Boat Club of Baltimore
in the four-oared shell event. The
Aerials lost the contest by two feet.

AROUND THE WORLD
IN FORTY SECONDS.
New York, July 2.—Arrangements
have been completed by the Postal Tel
egraph and Commercial Cable Com
pany for President Roosevelt to open
formally to-morrow morning the new
cable to Manila. He will send a dis
patch from his home at Oyster' Bay
to Gov. Taft, congratulating him and
the people of the Philippine Inlands
on the fact that at last they are to
enjoy the benefits of direct telegraphic
communication with the United States,
nnd his message will convey to the peo
ple of the islands a sentiment appro
priate to the Jay.
Further interest will be attached to
the feat by Ihe fact that Gov. Taft's
reply will be sent by way of'the East
ern route, thus completing the circuit
of the globe. The message from the
President win go from New York to
the Pac’fio coast by the land lines of
the Postal company and thence to Ma
nila by the new cable line. At Manila
it will be taken up by the Eastern Tele
graph Company and hurried on to Lon
don. where it will again be turned into
the lines of the Commercial Cable Com
pany for transmission under the At
lantic.
The officials of the telegraph and
cable companies are desirous of es
tablishing anew record for speed and
express their hope of having the mes
sage circuit the world in the remark
able time of forty seconds. To make
the time calculated upon there will
have to be Instant communication be
tween the vurlous relays. Arrange
ments to this end were completed to
day and If all goes well Independence
Day this year will mark an epoch in
the history of the development of the
world's telegraphic service.
