Closed Meet* With Fa vor—Would

Better Footing—Some Have Sug
gested Making an Attempt to
Bring State Fair Here— Meeting of
Direetors Not Y et Called.
Although the matter has not yet
been taken up by the directors of the
Savannah Racing Association, it seems
likely that Savannah will have a fair
during the present year. Nearly all
of the merchants say that they were
benefited by the last fair and favor
the holding of another.
A number of the merchants were
seen yesterday and expressed them
selves as being in favor of holding an
other fair. With changes in the date
and bettering of one or two minor de
tails they thought it could be even
more of a success than last year.
With but few exceptions the mer
chants said they had been directly
benefited by the fair, as it attracted
many to the city who would not have
come for any other reason.
"Bulloch County Day was the most
conspicuous example of this." said one
merchant. “To each of the tickets
sold at the reduced rate a coupon was
attached which admitted the holder to
the fair grounds. If these coupons
were not presented at the gate they
were taken up by the conductors and
by them turned over to the Racing
Association.
"On Bulloch County Day there were
about 3,000 coupons taken from rail
road tickets, yet scarcely one-third of
them were secured at the fair gates.
These figures show that the majority
of the visitors stayed in Savannah and
visited the stores, making purchases
which they were unable to do at their
home towns. What held good for Bul
loch County Day was noticeable on
other days, though the number of
visitors was never so large as on that
special day,”
Merchants Want Another Fair.
Mr. Sig Gardner, secretary of the
Retail Merchants Association, said,
while he hud not asked any of the
merchants about the matter, he had
heard nothing which would lead him
to believe that they are not ready to
support another fair, and do what they
ran to make it a success even greater
than last year's. "Immediately after
the fair closed they were all in favor
of another one. and 1 believe they
still hold that opinion.” said Mr. Gard
ner. “Personally I want to see an
other fair and believe that such pro
jects are good things for the city in
every wav.”
"I am in favor of holding a fair
here, and will do what I can to help
the management along,” said a promi
nent Broughton street merchant. "The
fair last year benefited me in many
ways and my cash sales were greatly
Increased. This was due to the small
army of people, who came to the city,
attracted by the cheap rates on the
railroads, and desire, for a gala day
and plenty of amusement. By all
SAVANNAH'S FUR TRADE INCREASING
Over $75,000 Worth of Furs Shipped From Here
Abroad Annually.
Few people probably are aware that
the fur trade of Savannah approxi
mates between $75,000 and SIOO,OOO an
nually and that It is Increasing In mag
nitude.
The principal furs sold in this market
are raccoon, otter, mink and opossum.
The mink is caught in South Carolina
and Georgia. During December and
January the racoon is brought in. These
skins are shipped from Georgia, Ala
bama and Tennessee. The otter, which
is caught in the Savannah river and in
the rivers of Florida and South Caro
lina, but Florida produces the finest
specimens.
The ’possum is caught almost any
where, while fox skins come princi
pally from Georgia, South Carolina and
Florida.
A peculiar feature of the South Car
olina fox skins is that they are head
Blood Troubles
Blood troubles £l#
Bad blood is the source of numerous aches and pains jw
and the cause of nearly all stubborn, long-continued dis- Rfe-,
eases. When the blood gets out of order, disease germs

means have another fair this year, but
it would be best to start planning for
It earlier, and to correct certain er
rors which were unavoidably made."
Other merchants who were asked
seemed inclined to Indorse the project
and were confident it could be made
a paying one in every sense of the
word. Several plans were suggested
by which different ones thought the
fair could be made more of a suc
cess, and none wished to do or say
anything which might be construed as
Intended to hurt the project.
Favor a Circuit Plan.
Shortly after the close of the last fair
Mr. A. J. Garfunkel stated that he be
lieved that greater crowds could be
brought to the fair—lf another was
held—if arrangements were made with
other cities to avoid conflicting dates.
The plan suggested by Mr. Garfunkal
was to hold a meeting of the represen
tatives of those towns which hold fairs
annually and arrange a schedule of
dates, so that there would not be two or
three fairs going on at the s-'ame time.
This would put them on a kind of cir
cuit and avoid conflicts of all kinds.
This plan has met with the hearty
indorsement of all to whom it has been
presented, and many see in it the way
to overcome certain difficulties which
last year seemed insurmountable. When
the nfatter of holding another fair is
taken up by the directors of the Sa
vannah Racing Association, the plans
will probably be formally presented by
one of their number.
Another plan which has received
some support is to make an attempt to
bring the State Fair here this year. The
majority of the merchants seen appear
to be in favor of a local fair.
BULLETS MET IN MIDAIR.
One Missile Pierced tlie Other With
Great Apparent Ease.
From the Newark, N. J., News.
While on duty at the butts at the
rifle range at Sea Girt a short time
ago Capt. Andrew B. Byram, a bat
talion adjutant of the First Regiment,
picked up two bullets, one of which
had pierced the other and remained in
it. Capt. Byram says he has picked
up many freak results of the shooting
at the range, but never one as curious
as this. He gave it to Capt. Albert
C. Gasser, Mayor Doremus' private
secretary, who keeps it one his desk in
the City Hall to show to visitors.
The bullets were fired from Spring
field rifles, and, according to the the
ory of Capt. Byram, met in midair.
Capt. Byram believed that one ball
must have been shot from the 500-yard
range straight at the target and the
other from a gun in the hands of a
soldier practicing on the skirmish line,
the fire from which crossed that from
the 500-yard range diagonally. Shot
from rifles at the same instant the two
bullets sped on. coming together in
the air. The force of one must have
been somewhat greater than the oth
er, he thinks, and this one pierced and
stuck in the slower-going piece of lead.
There must have been some queer
pranks when the contact was made,
Capt. Byram thinks, and the two bul
lets. fused together, probably whirled
around in the air until their combined
force was spent.
Neither of the bullets reached the
target at which it was aimed, for Capt.
Byrain picked them up in the sand
some distance short of the butts. They
had struck on a stone in falling, or per
haps had darted downward forcibly
into the earth, which accounts for the
battered condition of the pierced bul
let.
One ball struck the other about in
the middle and a little above a line
passing through the long axis. It
pierced It completely, going a little
more than half way through and then
lodging. Persons familiar with the
Sea Girt range say they never remem
ber seeing or hearing of such a freak
there. Where such shooting is going
on and where lines of fire cross it is
not uncommon, it is said, to have bul-;
lets meet above the earth. But in
nearly all cases they are fused into
an irregular muss, one forming part
of the other, so that the two carjnot
be distinguished. -
Turning Gray.
From the New York Press.
Tall yarns are told from time to time
about people turning gray in q. night
from fright or excessive nervous ten
sion, or possibly reaction from shock.
The only instance of rapid hair bleach
ing from internal excitement that ever
came under my observation was of a
youngish man who lost $5,000 In Wall
street on a bad tip. He had pinched
for fifteen years to save that money,
and when it went in an hour some
thing in his blood corpuscles changed.
On Monday his hair was dark brown;
on Saturday it was as white as snow.
less, as the state pays a royalty of 25
cents for each fox head shipped to Co
lumbia.
Several years ago the Legislature
passed a law putting a bounty on the
fox's head in order to exterminate, so
far as possible, the species.
Skunk furs of the variety contiguous
to this section, are not of much value,
as they are striped, and only solid
black skins are In demand for the ex
port trade.
Squirrel and rabbit skins have no
commercial value.
Savannah is a growing market for
all of these furs.
In the last three years the price of
furs has been abnormally high, which
has discouraged buying both in Eng
land and America. Just now the mar
ket is from 10 to 25 per cent. off. The
prices of the leading skins sold here
are as follows: Otter, $lO each; fox,
20c to 75c; mink. 75c to $1.50; raccoon,
10c to 26c. Nearly all of these furs
sold here are shipped to London and
I the continent.

SOUTH MUST SUPPLY
WORLD’S COTTON NEEDS.
Cotton Men Say Every Available Acre Will Be
Used This Year.
“The present high price of cotton,
and the general tide of prosperity that
it has brought to all sections of the
South," said Mr. Gardner E. Dicken
son yesterday, “is the most certain in
fluence toward the use of every avail
able acre of cotton land next year.
The only obstacle that confronts the
Southern planter is that of labor. With
favorable weather, and a sufficient
number of hands in the fields there is
every reason to believe that the new
crop will be the largest ever produced
in the South.
“That the world's annual product will
have to reach higher figures than ever
before in order to meet the next years
normal increase in consumption is also
agreed on every hand.
“Already,” continued Mr. Dickenson,
"England's King has thrown down the
gauntlet and in this speech from the
throne yesterday has urged the culti
vation of the staple in all parts of
his Kingdom, giving as his reason the
insufficiency of the supply of raw ma
terial.
India’s cotton belt is already grid
ironed with railways. West Africa is
now being experimented on by the Brit

cess perhaps awaits the upper Nile

SALUTATION “KUNGHI!”
ON CHINESE NEW YEAR.
Devotions to Omito Fab, Yuh-Hnniig
Sliangtl, and Tau in Savannah.
This is the day when the devout
Oriental who has not become impreg
nated with the scepticism of the Occi
dent, prostrates himself before the an
cestral shrine or does obeisance before
the sanctuaries of Omito Fuh, Yuh
hwang Shangti, and Tau.
■ All debts are settled and all accounts
with heaven are balanced, and the salu
tation, “Kunghi!* Kunghi!’ will be
heard everywhere. For it is New Year
in China, and the faithful of the Celes
tlul Kingdom in Savannah will let their
minds wander back to the Orient and
will bless each other and praise the
deeds and liv-s of their ancestors.
In the different laundry shops, little
tables will be prepared on which Will
be placed small slips of red and gilt
paper. And the visitor or customer
should sit at the table and write some
appropriate words upon it, even though
it be only the word “fuh,” the word
which means happiness, and which car
ries with It good wish.
On the doorposts and lintels of the
dwellings and shops of the devout will
be pasted the little slips containing
the prayers, that the five great bless
ings of the world may descend upon
the proprietor. The five blessings are
longevity, riches, health, love of vir
tue. and a natural death. • It is the
birthday of the entire nation and meet
that good wishes should start each man
on the new year.
Over all the doors of the faithful,
whether followers of Omito Fuh, Yuh
hwang Shangti, or Tau, will be pasted
the prayers that the soul may be made
cleun, and thut it may come at last
to dwell with the spirits of the de
parted ancestors whose deeds brought
them eternal happiness. All of the
prayers are written upon re i pa* *r.
ed many facts independently of the
magnitude of the season’s crop. It
is agreed on every hand that under
no circumstances can cotton enough
be produced this season to provide for
consumption equal to that o- a year
ago.”
The revised Ellison estimate of the
season 1902-1903 figured out 10,830,000
bales of American cotton used in the
world’s manufacture of that season.
This was slightly more than the act
ual yield of the season, and much more
than any accredited estimate assigns
for the yield of the present season.
Whether the ginners’ report will show
9,500,000 or 10,700,000 bales is it admit
ted that not enough cotton was grown
this year to provide for consumption
of the scale of a year ago.
Up to 1897 the largest amount of
cotton ever consumed by the manufac
turing world was-figured at 11,800,000
bales, which included all cotton grown
in the world. Last year the estimate
was 14,339.000 bales.
That thej great American boom
which began with 1897 has been a
leading influence with the subsequent
production of cotton the figures clearly
indicate. Out of the 2,500,000 bales in
crease in the world’s annual use of cot
ton since the middle of that year 1,300,-
000 bales must be credited to the in
creased American consumption.
Mr. Dickinson further said: ‘The
world needs more cotton and an ever
increasing population demands it, and
the real increase of cotton supplies in
the near future will almost certainly
come from the United States.”
edged with gilt, for it Is meet that
all should know the piety which is
within. But If death has come to the
household during the year, then a
blue slip will be pasted amongst the
red, that the spirit of the dead may
see it and know that it is not for
gotten. But no Savannah Chinaman
has died during the year.
In Savannah the Celestial will not
hold any elaborate services. He will
give gifts to his most favored custom
ers, and will paste his prayers over
his doorposts and lintels. But the fire
crackers will be banished, and the gods
will be propitiated quietly within the
home, each man saying his own prayer
to his own god. They will salute each
other with "Kunghi,” which means “I
wish you well.” Debts will be settled
and quarrels made up. But all will
be done quietly and unostentatiously,
that the “foreigners” may not "smile!
and make sport of the gods."
The Henllhf.il Fp-HIU Walk.
From the Medical Brief.
The best way to get oxygen into the
blood is to walk a mile up-hill two or
three times a day, keeping the mouth
closed and expanding the nostrils. This
beats all other methods. During such
a walk every drop of blood in the body
will make the circuit of the lungs, and
stream, red and pure, back to its ap
pointed work of cleansing and repair
ing worn-out tissues.
Health boards, we are glad to see,
are beginning to take up common-sense
me.thods of caring for the health and
preventing sickness. Recreation piers
are coming into use at seaports and
people are being advised to use bal
conies and fire-escapes in the fresh-alr
treatment of consumption. The up-hill
walk, as a prophylactic and curative
measure in many chronic ailments de
pendent upon a weak condition of the
heart, lungs and blood vessels, would
prove Invaluable.

ROAD WORK FOR
COMING YEAR
BUDGET BEING PREPARED.
TWO IMPORTANT THOROUGHFARES
TO RECEIVE ATTENTION.
Tile Newly Acquired White Blult
Road, Now Wylly Avenue, Will Be
Widened, Straightened and Put in
Condition—The Finishing Touches
Will Also Be Put on Lathrop Ave
nue and to Complete This Work
It Will Require Nearly the Entire
Time of the C'haingang—Good
Roads Scheme Heartily Indorsed.
In the annual budget, which will be
made up by the special committee
appointed at the last meeting of the
County Commissioners the allowance
to be set apart for road work during
the coming year will be confined, to the
paving of the recently acquired White
Bluff road called Wylly avenue, and
the surfacing of Lathrop avenue. It
is believed by the commissioners that
with this work to be looked after, and
the amount of reparing that will be
necessary on other roads, the chain
gang will have all the work it can do.
The work to be done on Wylly aven
ue will take nearly the entire time of
all the prisoners on the county gang
for twelve months. The avenue will
be throughly repaired, widened and
resurfaced. It will also be straight
ened and ditches dug along the
sides. This road is seven miles long,
and with fair weather it is estimat
ed that it will take 300 working days
to put it in shape.
On Latprop avenue there is much to
be done. This road is only partly
surfaced, and allowances will be made
in the budget for 1904 to complete
this work and put the avenue in good
condition.
The Good Ronds Scheme.
Chairman Lathrop said yesterday
that he thought the scheme re
cently suggested at the meeting
of the Chamber of Commerce
an excellent one, and if all of the
adjoining counties could be persuaded
to take the matter up Chatham county
is readv to do her part.
"In this county there would be very
little to do, as nearly all of our prin
cipal roads leading out of the county
are paved to within four miles of the
county line, and if the other counties
will agree to meet us in this matter
I have but little doubt the other mem
bers of the board would be glad to
have the present roads extended to
meet those of the neighboring coun
ties.”
It is hardly probable that the mat
ter will be taken up at the next meet
ing of the commissioners, which will be
held next Thursday, as there will be
many other matters to occupy the at
tention of the board.
One member of the board said
he did not think the matter could
be properly taken up unless there is
organized movement among the other
counties to complete their roads as
near the county lines as Chatham have
already done. "If the other counties
will show their good faith by com
pleting their roads within as near the
county lines as we have done,” said
the commissioner, “we can then take
the matter up and go ahead and Join
them.
“The Louisville and Augusta roads
are paved ten miles out of Savannah,
which is within four miles of th“
county lines, and if Effingham will ex
tend its part of the continuation of
these roads up to the county line, suit
ably paved, we will join them. I be
lieve, however, that this is a matter
that should first be handled by the
Chamber of Commerce.”
The annual budget for 1904 will be
submitted to the grand jury during
the March session.
NEW THEORY’OF
EARTH’S ORIGIN.
Prof. Chamberlain, of Chicago, Re
pudiates the Nebular Hypothesis.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Chicago, Jan. 25.—New theories of
the origin, formation and growth of
the earth, of thermal distribution, and
of the formation and action of vol
canoes are advanced in anew book on
geology, written by Prof. Thomas C.
Chumberlain, head of the department
of geology at the University of Chi
cago, and Prof. Rollin D. Salisbury,
of the same department.
Dr. Chamberlain repudiates what is
known as the “nebular hypothesis” of
the earth's origin and advances in its
stead anew hypothesis, startlingly
different from the first, which might
be termed the “accretion hypothesis.”
According to 'the nebular hypothesis,
the earth was once in a gaseous state,
passed thence into a liquid, and later,
cooling off. became solid.
According to the view held by Prof.
Chamberlain the earth started a mere
speck in space, and was built up grad
ually by the infall of matter, bit by bit,
at such a rate “that though each little
mass became hot as a result of its fall,
it cooled off before others fell on the
same spot. Under this view the inter
nal heat of the earth arose chiefly from
compression due to the earth’s grav
ity.
“The incoming bodies must probably
be assumed to have fallen in promis
cuous order, and hence to have been
indiscriminately mingled in the grow
ing earth. As they became buried
deeper and deeper and their tempera
tures and pressures were raised much
recombination, chemical and physical,
may be presumed to have followed.
"The accretion hypothesis i*sumes
that the internal heat was gradually
developed from the center outward
as the earth grew and the internal
compression was progressively devel
oped. The heat, therefore, continued

After All Other Remedies Failed
Pe-ru-na Saved Coroner Phillip's Life
Suffered With Catarrh of the Head and
Throat for a Number of Years—
Pe-ru-na Cured Him,
Deputy Coroner of Winnebago gjif WLtlp^Ji
County, Wisconsin.
E. T. Phillips, Deputy Coronet, Win
nebago Cos., from Menasha, Wis.,
writes;
“I have been troubled with a very
serious case of catarrh of the head
and throat for a number of years,
and l tried many prescriptions from
good physicians hut in the end I
found myself no better. On the ad
vice of a friend who had used Peruna
with good results I purchased a bot
tle, and the effects from that one bot
tle were so encouraging that I con
tinned its use and I think I used
about six bottles in all which I am
glad to say cured me completely of
this troubli'soinc disease.
“I can, therefore, conscientiously
recommend it and am a firm believer
in the power of Peruna to effectually
cure catarrh in all its forms.”—E. T.
Phillips.
A GREAT many remedies to
temporarily relieve catarrh
have been devised from time to
time, such as sprays, snuffs, creams
and other local applications, but, as
a rule, the medical pro/ession has lit
tle or no enthusiasm in the treat
ment of catarrh.
It is generally pronounced by them
to be incurable.
It therefore created a great sensa
tion in medical circles when Dr. Hart
man announced that he had devised a
compound which would cure catarrh
permanently.
The remedy was named Peruna, and
in a short time became known to
thousands of catarrh sufferers North,
South, East and West.
Letters testifying to the fact that
Peruna is a radical cure for catarrh
began to pour in from all directions.
Thousands of letters similar to the
following are on file in the office of
The Peruna Medicine Company.
Rev. E. Stubenvoll, Pella, Wis.,
writes: “I feel obliged to extend you
to rise at the center as long as com
pression continued.”
In a chapter on volcanoes the au
thors advance anew theory to explain
the existence of volcanoes. According
to the old view, volcanoes were but
pipes leading down to a molten mass
within, or outlets for reservoirs of mol
ten matter. The new theory ussigns
the outflow of deep-seated heat as the
cause of volcanoes.
"By hypothesis,” says the book, “the
interior of the earth is composed of
various kinds of matter mixed as
they happened to fall in. Hence, as
temperature rises, the fusion points
of some of <theSe constituents will be
reached before those ot others. The
gases and volatile constituents in the
mixed material would naturally enter
largely Into the liquefied portion. As
the liquefied parts rose by fusing or
fluxing their way, the pressure upon
them became less and less, and hence
the temperature necessary for llque
fleation gradually fell, leaving them a
constantly renewed margin of temper

case in point:
“Mr. J. W. Fuller, President of the

city for seventeen years out of the
forty-five that he has been engaged in
business. Concerning his experience
with Peruna he says:
“I was troubled with catarrh of the

photomicrographs) is In the possession
of Wilson A. Bentley of Jericho, Vt.
Mr. Bentley has been making a special
study of snow crystals during twenty
years. He has photographed many
hundreds of them, and has now in his
collection more than 1,000 photomicro
graphs, no two of which are alike.
The forms vary according to the
wind, the hight of the clouds, the de
gree of cold, the amount of water in
the air, etc. Crystals formed in cold
weather or in high clouds are usually
columnar.
Those formed in moderate weather
and light winds or In low clouds are
apt to have frail branches and to be
of a feathery type; mixed forms grow
partly in low and partly In high
clouds. High winds give broken
and irregular forms, and much mois
ture the very granular crystals.
Heavy granular covered crystals ara
peculiarly a product of the lower or
intermediate cloud strata, and espe
cially of moist snow storms. In intense
cold they are rare, while the columnar
and solid tubular then become com
mon.
About four-fifths of the perfect
forms occur within the west and nprth
quadrants of great storms.
The most common forms outlined
within the nuclear or central portions
of the crystals are a simple star of
six rays, a solid hexagon and a circle.
The subsequent additions assume a
bewildering variety of shapes, each of
which usually differs widely from the
one that preceded it and from the
primitive nuclear form at its center.
By bearing in mind the fact that crys
tals evolved within the upper clouds
tend toward solidity and the crystals
formed in lower clouds tend toward
open branches and feathery forms, it
is possible to trace the history and
travels of a great many of the cry
tals.
