Eleven Will Keep Their Record.
Sustained for Three Years, Clean,
and AVill Fight Against a Score.
Arrangements have been perfected
thereby a special train will carry Sa
vannah rooters over to Charleston on
New Year’s Day, when the blue and
white eleven goes over to play the all
star team that the Charleston Athletic
Association will get together.
A number of well known citizens,
anxious to see as many Savannahians
go over to cheer the boys on as possi
ble, got together yesterday and agreed
to charter a special train for that day,
end to put the rates down so low that
,n f erybody that could get away from
business could go over, and the pros
pects now are that nearly 500 people
will be carried. The round trip rates
will be $3.50.
Capt. Cope said yesterday that It
had been finally decided that there
would be no change in the Savannah
team from that which lined up against
Georgia on Nov. 14. All of the men
who have worked with the team, and
have helped to make it what it is will
be gijen the preference over all others.
Georgia Mach Interested.
Mr. Frank Mclntire, who spent sev
eral days In Athens assisting in
coaching the Georgia eleven for the
Auburn game, said that the game be
tween Savannah and Charleston was
discussed as much as the Georgia-Au
burn game, and it was there that Mr.
Mclntire learned of the engagement of
a number of the star players on the
Clemson team to play with Charleston
against Savannah on New Year's Day.
Coach Dickinson, who has seen Clem
son play, and has had the Georgia
team up against that aggregation of
ball players, said that he believed that
Savannah would win, and that with
the benefit of the games that the blue
and white eleven will have had when
she meets Charleston that she could
defeat the Clemson team as a whole.
Much interest Is felt in Atlanta also
In the outcome of the Savannah-
Charleston game. Letters are being
received here daily making inquiries
as to the Savannah prospects, etc. A
large delegation from Athens will go
to Charleston to witness the contest,
and also a number from Atlanta, and
it is superfluous to say that they will
all root for the Savannah eleven.
Cope and Mclntire Will Be Ready.
Capt. Cope and Frank Mclntire, who
were forced, from injuries received in
the Georgia game, to stay out of the
game with Jacksonville, are rounding
into shape rapidly,and will line up with
the team on New Year’s. It is hard
ly possible that Capt. Cope will run
the risk of being injured again by go
ing into the game with Macon Christ
mas. The Macon game is looked on
as a foregone conclusion that Savan
nah will win easily, and the only real
exertion will be to keep the visitors
from sporing.
Savannah'* Record.
The team which Savannah now
boasts of was practically organized
three years ago. and in that time has
not been scored against. Eleven
games have been played with some of
the best teams that dates could be ar
ranged with, and in the eleven games
Savannah piled up 193 points.
The strong team that Jacksonville
had in 1900 was the only one that ever
prevented Savannah from scoring, both
teams playing a no score game on
Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The following is Savannah’s record:
1900—
Thanksgiving—Savannah, 0; Jackson

Christmas—Savannah, 0: Jackson

QUESTION NOW ARISES “WHO
IS CHAMPION OF THE SOUTH?”
Sewanee, Vanderbilt, Clemson and Cumberland
All Claim the Title.
"We have defeated Sewanee who beat
Cumberland who beat us. Therefore
we are the champions," says Vander

“We have beaten Cumberland who
beat Vanderbilt who beat us. There
fore we are champions,” says Sewanee.
"We have beaten Vanderbilt who
beat Sewanne who beat us. Therefore
we are champions,” says Cumberland.
“We have tied Cumberland who beat
Vanderbilt who beat Sewanne. There
fore we are tied with Cumberland for
the championship.” says Clemson.

the football championship of the South

MILLER AND WHITE
FOUGHT A DRAW.
Said to Have Been an Excellent Ex
hibition Before a Charleston Au
dience.
Herman Miller and Cub White re
turned from Charleston yesterday, after
having fought a twenty-round draw
before the Charleston Athletic Club the
night before.
Those who witnessed the go said that
it was much faster than any that the
men engaged in in Savannah, though
White was doing all the forcing, and
seemed to have the better of Miller. A
return bout has been arranged between
the two, to take place in Charleston
next Friday night.
BILLY FARREN WILL BE
OUT IN A FEW DAYS.
Popular Welterweight linn Bad a
Hard Time of It In the Hospital.
Billy Farren, the popular welter
weight from Philadelphia, who has
been confined at the St. Joseph’s Hospi
tal for the past two months, has al
most entirely recovered, and will be
able to be out in a few days.
Farren says he is willing to enter
the ring again as soon as he is strong
enough, and his friends are anxious
to see a go between he and White.
Both of these men have shown some
fast work in the ring, and a contest
between them would no doubt be of
considerable interest.
IVES BUYS MONTE CARLO,
PAYING SOME $20,000.
New York, Nov. 28.—Brayton Ives
to-day purchased of Munroe Salisbury
the bay trotting gelding Monte Carlo,
2:07)4, for the largest price that has
been paid in years for a road horse.
The exact amount was not made pub
lic, but it was said to be about 320,000.
Mr. Ives will, it is understood, with
draw the noted campaigner from the
turf and drive him on the speedway
and in the amateur wagon races of
the New York Driving Club.
COURSE FOR THE CUP
Hus Been Chosen by the German
Automobile Club.
Berlin, Nov. 28.—The German Auto
mobile Club this evening decided unan
imously to hold the race for the James
Gordon Bennett cup next year, over a
course from Saalburg to Limburg,
thence to Ober, Ursel and back to Saal
burg.
This action was taken after a com
mission appointed for that purpose had
thoroughly examined the course, in
connection with prominent foreign au
tomobilists, including Fournier, who
won the race from Paris to Berlin in
June, 1901. These experts are of the
opinion that the course selected for
next year's race is far superior to the
Irish course, over which the race was
run this year.
Fournier thinks the course highly
suitable, the roadway being firm and
well ballasted.
IMMORALITY CHARGED
And the Defendants Plead They
Practiced Erotic Mysteries.
Paris, Nov. 28.—The trial of the so
called Baron DeAdelsward and Count
DeWarren on the charge of immorality,
which has ben before the lower courts
for a long time, reached the superior
civil tribunal to-day and attracts
some attention, as the accused seek to
show that the immoral acts were in
cident to the performance of erotic
mysteries, including the worship of
idols, skulls and cross-bones, symbolic
of the devil. The prosecution claimed
it was a simple case of depravity, the
mysticism being feigned in order to
shield the acts of immorality.
Doctors testified that the accused
were mentally degenerate.
Bainbridge News Notes.
Bainbridge, Ga., Nov. 28.—Mr. T. J.
Spearman of Oxford will establish a
marble yard in this city in the near
future to be known as the Bainbridge
Marble Works. Mr. Spearman has
been traveling for the Marietta Mar
ble Works of Marietta for several
years. This will make two marble
yards for Bainbridge.
The grand jury at the last term of
Superior Count recommended that
the square that the old Court House
stands on be never sold by the county
except for the purpose of a park or
public building. It also recommended
that the commissioners be elected by
the people, instead of appointed, as
they now are, and asked that the rep
resentatives introduce a bill in the next
Legislature to that effect.
RUSSIANS AND ROBBERS
Met in n Fight, With Honors for the
Ito libers.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 28.—Dispatches
received here by a semi-official agency
report that a collision between Rus
sian troops and a band of Chunchuses,
the notorious robbers of Manchuria
and Southern Siberia, has occurred at
Tachichao, in which five Russians
were killed and nine severely wounded.
A report from Slnwendao says that
the troops of Gen. Ma have appeared
in that district and are plundering
friendly Chinese villages.
Devery, “There ain’t none.” Vander
bilt Sewanee, Clemson and Cumber
land are all champions. Four better
teams have never been developed in
the South and any one would wear
with grace premier laurels.
But as a matter of fact there can
be no champion this year. Vanderbilt,
Sewanne and Cumberland have an
equal right to claim the title.
The writer would rank the teams of
the South in this way:
First Class—Vanderbilt, Sewanee,
Cumberland and Clemson—tied In a
hard knot.
Second Class—Texas, North Carolina
A. and M., South Carolina, Davidson
and Georgia, In the order named.
Third Class—Mississippi, Mississippi
A. and M., Alabama, Tennessee and
Auburn, In the order named. (Au
burn's great strength In the final game
of the year alone gets the team Into
this class).
Fourth Class—Tech, Louisiana and
Tulane, In the order named.
Others, of course, may differ with
this ranking, but it is the writer’s
choice after a careful study of every
game played in the South this year.

A NEW CANDIDATE
FOR HONORS.
A1 Limerick of Buffalo, who so suc
cessfully handled Jack Munroe, the bur
ly miner, in the squared circle some
time ago, is the latest aspirant for
championship honors in the heavy
weight class. The New York Telegraph
describes a meeting between Jeffries
and Limerick as follows:
King Jeffries I, like all truly great
monarchs, tempers his cold dignity at
times with the warmth of condescen
sion.
If he will not give audience to sub
jects that are dingy of skin, and keeps
the plebeian Miner out of the suburbs,
still he can be approached by others.
A 'timid youth, not registered in
Pugs’ Peerage, craved admission to
The Presence. When his card ran the
gamut of the Lords in Waiting and the
First Front, it bore the following mod
estly appealing gem:
“I am a young man from Buff'lo,
And all that i want is a show.
Tom says I’m a hummer,
And if I’m a ’comer.’
King Jeffries will give me a ‘go.’
“A. Limerick."
There was something so artlessly
artistic in this that the poetic soul of
the king was touched. He is strong on
poetry himself, having written that
stirring ballad, ‘‘When the Frost Was
on the Freckles.”
-•Show Me His Work.”
“Let the young man come in,” said
the king.
The young man came in.
He was of a goodly growth and fair
ish width of front. Nor was he unat
tended. His natural hesitancy of
speech before the awful majesty of
the World's Master was patched by
his chaperon, Sir Thomas O’Rourke.
Sir Thomas is not of the pug’s king
dom, and has no fear of kings.
"An’ it please you,” said Sir Thom
as, “I would like to get this youth em
ployment with your august seif.’ ’
“An* what has the youth done to
deserve aught at my hands?” quoth
the king.
"Nothin as yet, your majesty," re
plied Sir Thomas. “But he has hopes.
He is now engaged in a coming joust
with one Jack Munroe, your majesty's
arch enemy. Should he be victorious
in the lists with this Munroe, will not
your highness take him on?”
“Nay, not so fast, good Sir Thomas,”
said the king. “Y'ou are running at
a Lou Dillon clip. Put on the brake.”
"Muj He Something; Doing.”
“But,” expostulated Sir Thomas,
“there is no other man to give your
highness exercise. You have outbattled
them all, even twice for each. This
young man has never yet met defeat.
If he shows his metal, an’ it have the
true ring, why not give him suflfrance?
The great Coon of the West, he they
call Jack Johnson, you have- ”
“None of that, sirrah!” cried the
king, impatiently taping the table be
fore the throne with a forefinger, there
by breaking the glassware. "Don’t
wander on that lay, an’ you would not
anger me.”
“Indeed, your majesty,” said Sir
Thomas, bowing, “I had no intention of
ruftling your feathers. But I
thought ”
“Let this, then, be that thought,”
broke in the king. ”If, perchance, the
youth chases a few of my former vic
tims off my kingdom's map, then I
may look him over, and who knows—
there may be something doing.”
Negroes Are Antis.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Nov. 28.—A mass
meeting of a large number of the bet
ter class of neg Toes was held here to
day and an anti-whisky party was
formed. The platform will contain
planks urging the Legislature to pass
laws against the use of whisky and
cocaine and to regulate the domestic
life of the race. This step is some
what in advance of any that has been
taken by the race in any part of the
country.
WINTER |S coming

Brsry snfTerer from Catarrh dreads the coming of winter, for with the first breath of

symptoms come back. With every fresh cold the temperature begins to rise,
the skim becomes hot and dry, the head aches almost to the point of bursting, the eyes are

watery, gradually become thicker and yellow and often exceedingly offensive. The throat

INSPECTED COURT ROOM.
Judge Emory Speer at Valdosta.
News Notes.
Valdosta, Ga-, Nov. 28.—Judge Emory
Speer, accompanied by Attorneys Ak
ernian and Winbish, reached the city
last night. The main object of Judge
Speer’s trip was to examine the quar
ters which are to be furnished for his
court, and to make such recommenda
tions as he might see fit. He was shown
several places, including the Elks' lodge
room, which can be easily converted
into a court room, with adjoining rooms
for jurors, etc.
Judge Speer expressed himself as
much pleased with this arrangement,
and stated that he expected to hold the
first session of court here after Christ
mas. He stated that the government
should erect a building here to cost
from $300,000 to $400,000. He said that
so many mistakes had been made in
erecting the public buildings too small
that he thought the government would
profit by these and build for the fu
ture.
Judge Speer and his party went to
Mineola to-day on a hunting trip and
returned to Macon to-night.
There came near being a serious fire
here this morning, the alarm being
sent in from Fender’s mill. The large
planing mill was on fire, and the
flames were spreading rapidly when
the firemen arrived. By hard work
they succeeded in subduing the flames.
Hon. F. R. Simians of Clinch coun
ty has issued a card, announcing as
a candidate for the state Senate from
Clinch, Ware and Coffee, it being
Clinch’s time to furnish the senator. It
is understood that he will be opposed
by Mr. R. B. Johnson, the present mem
ber of the Legislature from Clinch.
Both have served 111 the upper and
lower houses. Mr. Sirman’s is an ex
tensive farmer and capitalist, and is
the wealthiest man in that county.

SIGNAL TO ANNOUNCE
DAWN OF NEW YEAR.
Washington, Nov. 28.—The officials
of the naval observatory are arrang
, ing to send a New Year's gieeting from
Washington to all the countries of the
civilized world by the employment of
a series of signals to all points to mark
the exact second of the beginning of
the new year.
A similar plan was employed suc
cessfully last year in the case of the
United States, and it is now intended
to extend the service this year to cover
the continents of North and South
America, the distant Insular posses
sions of the United States and all
points of the world having the neces

REPORT ON REVENUE.
Washington, Nov. 28.—John W.
Ycrkes, commissioner of internal rev
enue, in his annual report to the Sec
retary of the Treasury, shows that the
total receipts of his bureau for the fis
cal year ended June 30, 1903, were $230,-
720.925. at a cost of collection of 2.07
per cent., a decrease of about $41,000,-

bates on all original or unbroken fac
tory packages of smoking and manu
factured tobacco, snuff and cigars held

amounted on Nov. 1, 1903, to $3,110,-

Tokio, Japan, Nov. 28. —M. Olspl,
former Minister of Commerce and Ag
riculture, who lately visited Manchu

public speech agatnst the Incessant in

to resort to an appeal to arms.

The entire day was given up to the
testimony of Emil Menard, a druggist,

The dyspeptic club recently formed

number, mostly Americans, are plainly

actions of different foods must be duly
estimated. Pie and pain, buckwheat
and bloat, sausage and suffering, pickle
and pang, cabbage and colic, ham and
heartburn must show their proper re

business is that each culprit must con
fess to his weak will and his mis

Shnalder-Blade .Sensations.
From the New York Press,
One of the familiar figures between
cars thus explains how he Is enabled to
guard against squeezing, humping,
knocking, pounding and crushing with
out looking behind him: “I have de
veloped at aura. I don’t know how big a
diameter it has, but It stands out be
hind for quite a little distance. My
shoulder blades have become extra
ordinarily sensitive. Each ray of my
aura is like an electric wire, or. better
than that, like a cat’s whisker, or like
the feeler of a lobster. My shoulder
blades tell me when a car or truck is
getting too close Just as well as if they
had eyes. Did you ever have a fellow
to run after you in the dark with a
stiletto or pistol and have your back
twitch with the prospect of getting an
ounce of lead or seven inches of cold
steel? Well, that’s the same sensation
that prevents me from being banged
about by these street cars.”

Team Were Injured and Had to Be
Carried From the Field—Poorest
Exhibition Ever Seen on Franklin
Field.
Philadelphia, Nov. 28.—1 none of the
most tiresome and uninteresting foot
ball games ever witnessed on Franklin
field, the West Point eleven to-day de
feated the Annapolis team by the score
of 40 to 5.
Two miserable fumbles in rapid suc
cession gave the navy their only scorei,
Asa football game, it was a dismal
failure, but as a society function lit
was a glorious success. Seated In
boxes around the field were Secretary
Root, Secretary Moody, Lieut. Gen. S.
M. B. Young, Maj. Gen. and Mrs.
Chaffee, Maj. Gen. Brooke, Gen. Miles,
Maj. Gen. H, C. Corbin, and many
other persons prominent in army and
naval circles.
The army occupied the south stand
and the navy the north stand. During
the intermission between the halves,
Secretary Root and Gen. Chaffee cross
ed the field to the navy side and were
given a warm reception by the cadets
in the center section.
Navy Made Only Score in First Half.
The navy won the toss and chose the
west goal with a slight wind at their
backs. In less than ten minutes play
they had scored their only points. Graves
kicked to the navy’s fifteen yard line
and Howard returned the punt. A
fumble gave the navy the ball on
the army's forty-five yard line. After
two attempts to gain through the West
Point line Howard kicked to the army's
fifteen yard line. On the first play
there was another fumble in the army
line, and Strassburger fell on the ball,
Chambers was then called upon to try
a goal from placement for the navy.
It was a difficult angle, but the ball
sailed straight between the posts and
the cheering section of the navy stand
simply went wild. Caps, danes, mega
phones and almost everything mov
able within reach was thrown in the
air while on the opposite side of the
field the army boys were very quiet.
Their gloom was soon dispelled, how
ever, for within a few minutes the army
had crossed the navy’s goal line.
On an exchange of kicks, West Point
secured the ball on the navy’s thirty
yard line on a fumble. The heavy
West Pointers then tore big holes in
the Annaimlls line, and soon pushed
Hill over for a touch down. Graves
kicked the goal. Three minutes Hater
West Point again got the ball on the
navy’s eight yard line on a fumble by
Strassberger. Davis was shoved over
for the second touch down, and Thomp
son kicked goal. There were several
exchanges of kicks and West Point se
cured the bail on the navy’s fifty yard
mark. On the next play Prince broke
through the Annapolis line, and by
beautiful dodging scored a third touch
down. Doe kicked the goal and th
half ended a moment later.
The Second Half.
In the second half the army went
through the lighter line of the navy
almost at will. In every scrimmage
there was some Annapolis man laid
out, and Capt. Soule and Left Guard
Chambers were so badly Injured that
they had to be carried from the field.
A few minutes before time called Doe
dropped a pretty goal from placement.
