Charleston, S. C., Sept. 9.—Charles
ton defeated Savannah here to-day by
a batting rally in the ninth. Owing
to the bad offside decisions made by
Grim in yesterday's double-header, the
Charleston people were disgusted, and
the crowd to-day was consequently
small.
Savannah scored Burt in the first In
ning, and pushed Mullaney over the
plate in the fourth, otherwise they
were unable to score.
Charleston's hatting rally in the
ninth was the result of a sudden spurt.
Smith drove a two-bagger to the field,
Donnelly flew to Oyler and Mitchell
died at first. Barbour then . put one
just over Holmes’ head and Smith
scored. Childs smashed out a two
bagger. and Rosson singled, scoring
Barbour, Hayes singled and Childs
crossed the pan with the winning run.
There will be a double-header to
morrow, which will no doubt draw a
larger crowd. Grim is very unpopular
here as a result of his work In the sec
ond game Thursday.

HARMON RETIRES
FROM ATHLETICS
BROKEN ARM IS THE CAUSE.
WILL PLAY NEITHER BASEBALL
MIR FOOTBALL AGAIN.
Doctor* Sny it AVill Re Twelve
Month* Before Hi* Arm Will Be
Strong Again—Hi* Absence Will
Seriously Weaken the Savannah
Football Team This Fall—Accident
Wn* One of the Most Peculiar
Known—Handsome Watch Was
Presented by Admiring Friend*
in IlrnnswieU.
Weyman Harmon, perhaps the star
amatuer all round athlete of the state
will retire forever from athletics of
all kind.
This decision is a direct result of
the accident at Brunswick last Satur
day, when he broke his arm, while in
the act of delivering a ball to a bat
ter.
This announcement will be receiv
ed with regret by all admirers of Mr.
Harmon, and his loss will be serious
ly felt by the Savannah football team
in the hard games that will be play
ed this fall. Even though he desir
ed to do so, he would not be able to
play football under twelve months
time, as his physician states that the
broken arm will not be strong again
In less than that time.
The accident was of a most pecu
liar nature. As was at first stated
the arm was not broken in actually
delivering the ball, but snapped just
as it was raised above the shoulder
for the final swing. In other words
it was the "winding up" which caus
ed trouble. Mr. Harmon said he first
thought his arm was dislocated at
the shoulder as he swung it above
his head, and he had no idea the bone
was broken until he had been exam
ined.
Asa testimonial of the esteem in
which he is held by the baseball en
thusiasts in Brunswick. Mr. Harmon
was presented with the handsomest
watch obtainable in that city, and he
wears it with much pride and appre
ciation.
Just who will be available to fill
Mr. Harmon's place on the football
team this year is not yet known. It
will be a difficult matter to get a
man who will he his equal in strength,
speed and understanding of the game.
The place will hardly be filled this
year.

BRADSTREET’S ON TRADE.
Development* of the Week Were
Generitlly Favorable.
New York, Sept. 9. —Bradstreet's to
morrow will sav;
Trade, crop and industrial develop
ments have been generally favorable
this week. Distribution on fall and
winter trade account has enlarged at
most markets. The corn croD has
progressed another week toward final
maturity, which, however. this year
is later than usual, and several in
dustries hitherto greatly depressed or
operating on short time have resumed
running full.
The industrial situation is slightly
less strained than it was, and the
beef strike is now ended. In iron and
steel, past and prospective, price re
ductions have encouraged inquiry, con
sumption has finally overtaken pro
duction, and stocks of crude material
are smaller. With the beginning of
the crop movement, which is reason
ably heavy for this period, have come
improved collections and better rail
way earnings returns. August results
point to a 6 per cent, increase in gross
receipts over a year ago.
The stubborn strength of prices is,
perhaps, the most notable feature in
the entire situation. Bradstreet's gen
eral index number shows a very small
percentage of increase on Sept. 1 over
Aug. 1, with provisions and groceries,
fruits, hides, leather, oils and bread
stuffs showing most strength. The
general level of prices at present
marks an increase of 7.7 per cent, over
June, 1901, a decrease of 3.8 per cent,
from February, 1900, but a gain of
37 per cent, over the low water mark
of July. 1896.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending Sept. 8
number 144, against 165 in the like
week in 1902.
MERGER OfTeXAS LINES.
Oillcinl* anil Clerk* Will Be Thrown
Out of Employment.
Houston, Tex., Sept. 9. —Announce-
ment will be made to-morrow of the
intention of the Harriman management
in Texas to consolidate and operate
as one line the freight departments of
the Galveston, Harrisburg and San
Antonio: the Houston and Texas Cen
tral; the Houston, East and West Tex
as roads; and the Galveston, Houston
and Northern. The Texas and New Or
leans, being considered by the Rail
road Commission as competitive with
the two last named lines, will not be
included in the proposed merger. The
merger will involve the displacement
of a number of officials and clerks.
This is believed to be preliminary to
merging all departments of the roads
named.
COLUMBUS’ WATER PROBLEM.
Connell Keeking to Determine the
Best Step* to Take.
Columbus, Ga„ Sept. 9.—The Frank
Sutter Company to-day made a proposi
tion to the Columbus City Council to
build a plant that will furnish the city
3,000,000 gallons of artesian water daily
for $125,000. Under the proposition, the
water is to be conducted to the city
limits and the city will lay the dis
tributing system of pipes. Council re
ferred the proposition to the Columbus
Waterworks Commission.
Propositions were received from L.
B. Clay, of Bartow, and C. F. Pekor,
of this city, to bore artesian wells, and
the city will probably have a number
of test wells sunk.
MR. BLOUNTS INJURIES
AT MANASSAS.
Macon, Ga., Sept. 9.—Mr. John
Blount, traveling passenger agent of
the Central of Georgia Railway, who
was severely injured by being thrown
from his horse while reviewing troops
at Manassas, arrived in the city last
night and was taken to his home on
Forsyth street. His injuries consisted
of an arm broken in two places. He
says that he was riding a horse that
was rather wild and th'at the bit was
not of the kind by which the animal
could be controlled.
Telephone Line for Entonton.
Eatonton, Ga., Sept. 9.—The South
ern Bell Telephone Company will en
ter the city in a few days. The work
of placing poles and wires is nearing
completion. This will give the town
connection with Milledgeville, Macon,
Augusta, Savannah, Atlanta and inter
mediate points.

The championship season of the
South Atlantic Baseball League vir
tually closes to-day. Only one more
game will be played, that between Ma
con and Jacksonville, ~in Jacksonville
to-morrow.
So far this season the league has
been successful beyond the fondest
hopes of the promoters. That it will
be stronger and faster next year is in
dicated by the preparations that are
being made by all of the managers now.
Each club will have a nucleus of re
serve players around which to assem
ble the clubs that will make the race
for the pennant, which guarantees the
league being at least 25 per cent,
stronger at the opening of the season
next spring than it was this spring.
All Club* Mnde Money.
Every club in the league made
money the first year. Augusta was.
perhaps, the most unfortunate, but the
owners of the franchise will come out
about even. Counting the money that
Strouthers took away from Augusta
the club really made money. In at
tendance Jacksonville will undoubted
ly be found to be leading when the
official attendance is announced.
This is largely due to the Sunday
games and perfect weather. Jackson
ville has not missed a single sched
uled game at home on account of rain.
Savannah will come second in point
of attendance, with Charleston a close
BULLOCH COUNTY’S NEW
RAILROAD A CERTAINTY
All Interests Harmonized and Road to Be Built
at Once.
Statesboro, Ga., Sept. 9.—Another
meeting of the new railroad promot
ers was held yesterday. It lasted for
several hours and resulted in a com
plete understanding and agreement of
the compromise that first began nego
tiations.
The Statesboro and Savannah Rail
way people had a conference here last
week with the Statesboro and North
ern propioters. which did not settle
matters altogether. Yesterday Messrs.
J. A. Coleman, H. I. Olllff, George
Rentz and Cols. R. J. Williams, J. A.
Smith and Price of Swalnsboro, and
Dr. J. A. Jones of Summltt came over
for another conference with the
Statesboro and Northern men. The
latter was represented by Messrs. J.
G. Blitch, J. A. Brannen, G. S. John
ston and Cecil Gabbett. Mr. Gabbett
was made chairman of the meeting
and Mr. Blitch secretary.
After lengthy presentations of the
several interests at stake and argu
ments pro and con it was agreed that
the applications for the two charters
now being made for the Statesboro
and Swainsboro and the Statesboro
and Northern railways, be withdrawn
and that anew application be made
for the Statesboro and Northern to
go to Wrightsville via Summit! and
Swainsboro. Wrightsville being repre
sented by the Statesboro delegates.
A committee of three each from the
four towns interested was then ap
pointed to meet in Swainsboro next
SUNDAY-SCHOOL INSTITUTE
In Session In Statesboro's New Dap
list Church.
Statesboro, Oa„ Sept. 9.—A Sunday
school institute is being held at the
Baptist Church. It was opened this
morning by Kev. B. W. Spillman of
Nashville, Tenn. Field Secretary of
the Soutnern Baptist Convention, and
will continue until Sunday night. All
the Sunday-schools throughout this
section were invited to have represen
tatives at the Institute, and many of
them have responded. Two sessions
are held dally.
Prof. W. H. Kilpatrick of the Mer
cer University chair of mathematics,
and acting president of the college, lac
lured to-night on education.
A number of prominent Baptist min
isters are present, among them State
Field Sunday-school Secretary Rev.
Lawrence of Atlanta, and Kev. B. J.
Singleton ->1 the Mlllen Buptlst Church,

portant games of the season were post
poned on account of rain.
Longer Season Next Year.
The sentiment among club owners
is to lengthen the season next year,
opening at the same time the South
ern does and closing at the same time.
This will give about three weeks more
plav.
Owner Boyer of the Savannah club
says that he will assemble his team
next year in March, and will make
an effort to arrange a number of
games with the New York and Phila
delphia teams, both of which will
probably return here for their spring
practice.
Eleven umpires have been used up
in the pennant chasing, which speaks
for the stubborn contest that all teams
have put up. The umps staff up to
date has been as follows: Mace, Mc-
Namara, Connors, Brandt, McGrath,
Bailey, Torrence, Black, Burke, Kelly
and Grim. The last four are still in
harness. ,
Boyer’* Good Work.
Much of the success of the league
Was been due to the administration of
President Boyer. He was and is still
the most available man for the posi
tion in the Southern country, and
would be re-elected without a single
dissenting vote were it not for the
fact that he is owner of the Savannah
club.
Even in the face of this, the manage
ment of the different clubs would vote
for him were it not for the fact that
public sentiment seems to be opposed
to the president being interested in
any of the clubs. President Boyer
has announced that he will not again
be a candidate for the position. Just
who will be, it is hard to forecast now.
The league may be expanded into
an eight club circuit. Sentiment on
this subject is divided. Columbus,
Tampia and Charlotte will all offer
clubs with substantial backing, and
It is believed that two of these will
be taken in.
Objection has been offered to Tam
pa for the reason that it is too far
out of the circuit. Those who are
anxious to put in a club at Tampa
will offer to make the guarantee there
large enough to offset any extra trans
portation, and with Sunday ball there
and In Jacksonville, it Is believed that
taking in such a good ball town as
Tampa will be good business judg
ment.
The meeting of the league directors
will be held about Sept. 20, at which
time all of these matters will be de
cided. and officers for the coming year
elected.
Thursday to perfect organization. They
are as follows: From Statesboro,
Messrs. J. G. Blitch, J. W. Olliff and
J. A. Brannet; from Summitt, J. A.
Jones, J. T. Roberts, and B. L. Roun
tree; from Swainsboro, J. A. Cole
man, G. Bell and A. Herrington. At
this meeting a president vice president,
general manager and board of direc
tors will be elected to serve perma
nently.
The money is in sight with which to
begin operations. In fact, enough
subscriptions have been pledged to
build the first ten miles, and work will
be commenced just as soon as possi
ble, beginning at Statesboro. When the
grst ten miles have been constructed
bonds will probably be issued with
which to complete the line.
Two civil engineers, Maj. Blanford
of Savannah and Capt. Roberts of Ma
con, were at the meeting, and during
the day looked over the proposed line
as 9ar as was practicable. There are
three routes out of Statesboro under
consideration, and it is not known
w'hieh one will be selected. A line
has already been surveyed as far as
Garfield, on the Millen and Southern
Railway, which can be used to within
a few miles of Summitt.
The building of the road means a
great <leal to Southeast Georgia, for
it will eventually be the shortest line
between Macon and Savannah —if con
tinued in that direction beyond
Wrightsville. But there is some dis
position to deflect to the right after
that point is reached In order to tap
the great cotton belt between Macon
and Augusta.
