F9R FIRE DRILLS
. IN THE SCHOOLS
OF EDUCATION VOTES.
WILL BE QUICK-DISMISSAL DRILLS
AT IRREGULAR HOURS.
Ordinance Was “Received a* Infor
mation” by Board Reaolatlon
Then Unanlmonnly Adopted—Reno-
Intlon Provides That Present Dis
missal Drills. Which Have Been
In Force for Years, Re Held nt
Least Twice a Month at Irregular
Honrs as Fire Drills.
The fire-drill ordinance recent
ly passed by the City Council was
taken up last night by the Board of
Education and was “received as in
formation.”
Immediately afterward a reso
lution was passed .directing
Superintendent Ashmore to ar
range the quick-dismissal drills now in
effect so that twice a month they
should be held at Irregular hours and
“shall be fire-drills.” This resolution
was unanimously passed, Alderman R.
J. Davant, a member of the board not
voting, he requesting that he be ex
cused owing to his membership in
the City Council.
Those at the meeting were Presi
dent George A. Mercer, Col. J. H. Es
till. Judge Samuel B. Adams, Capt.
M. A. O'Byrne, Capt. Henry Blun, Mr.
Lee Roy Myers, Mr. P. A. Stovall, Dr.
M. F. Dunn, Dr. T. J. Charlton, Mr.
R. J. Davant, and Supt. Otis Ash
more. The principal feature was the
fire-drill ordinance, and after routine
business had been disposed of this was
taken up.
The ordinance as passed by Council
was first read to the board, making
the presentation official. President
Mercer, after a motion had been made
by Col. Estill that the matter be re
ceived as information, asked for re
marks.
The Hoard Divided.
The sentiment was apparently
somewhat divided. A number
took the position that it was on
usurpation on the part of City Council
of the rights and powers of the Board
of Education, and therefore it should
be ignored. Others, while taking the
same position if it was such an usur
pation, held that the action of Council
had called attention to the need in the
schools and that as such it should be
heeded.
Opinion as to the legality of the or
dinance was then expressed. It was
stated by one member of the Board
that the legal members, and especially
Mr. J. R. Saussy, were of the opinion
that the ordinance would not be up
held by the Supreme Court. It was
stated that he had carefully examined
the question before reaching this opin
ion. Col. Mercer took a similar stand.
After discussion, the sentiment of
the Board seemed to crystallize itself
Into the opinion that no interference on
the part of the city with the rights and
powers of the Board under their char
ter should be tolerated, but that each
should keep to its own province. Asa
good thing for the schools, however,
opinion seemed to be that the fire
drills should be instituted.
Resolution Adopted.
After the motion that the ordinance
be “received as information” h*ad been
passed the following resolution was
offered and unanimously adopted by the
board:
“Resolved: That the superintendent
df public schools be and he is here
by directed to so arrange the quick
dismissal drills now in vogue in the
several schools so that twice a month,
or oftener, du tng the school y<:'ar. said
drills at irregular hours shall be fire
drills in the sense and for the purpose
Intended by the ordinance recently
passed by he Mayor and aldermen
of the city of Savannah."
The quick-dismissal drills, which have
been in force in the Savanrtah schools
at least during the time, Mr. Ashmore
has been superintendent will now be
held at least twice each month dur
ing the school year at Irregular hours
and held as fire-drills.
OFFICER STOOD GUARD
WHILE POLE WENT UP.
Germania Bank Oniclnl Objected to
Its llcine Moved.
Objection was made by an officer
of the Germania Bank to the erecting
of an electric company pole in Congress
lane, by the side of the bank build
ing. yesterday morning, 'and a uni
formed man from police headquarters
toad to stand on guard while the pole
was being put up and the wires were
being strung.
When the patrolman put in an ap
pearance the bank officer announced
his intention of securing an injunction,
but no legal action was taken. The
officer remained on guard until the pole
had been planted in the ground, and
the wires had been transferred. The
wires are used for lfghtlng the Wank
building and the moving of the pole
was necessitated by the excavating for
the National Bank building. The pres
ence of the officer while the workmen
were putting up the pole attracted con
siderable attention on Bull street. A
permit for the work had been given by
the city.
TIED HORSE TO TREE;
FINED ONE DOLLAR.
For hitching his horse to a shade
tree on Anderson street east, Albert
Ward was fined 11 by the Recorder
yesterday morning. Mr. Ward admitted
having tied the horse to the tree.
As It was his first offense and as the
case was the first that had been made
tinder the ordinance protecting the
trees, the Recorder Imposed only a
nominal fine. The case was made by
Mounted Officer W. H. Smith. The
police have been Instructed to make
cases whenever a violation of the
ordinance Is discovered.
LARGER CAPITAL FOR
ELECTRIC SUPPLY CO.
The Electric Supply Cos. of Savannah
has, because of Its largely increased
business found it necessary tc increase
Its capital stock from 125,000 to 137,500.
The favor with which this company Is
regarded by Investors Is shown by the
fact that not only was all the money
for the additional capital received with
out any effort, but the amount was
actually over subscribed within two
days. The Electric Supply Cos. has not
only enlarged Its k>ci| business to
the extent that has made necessary
the enlargement of Its present quarters,
has also greatly tncreaasd its out-
AfMawn business.
BURGLAR APPEARS AGAIN
ON PARK AVENUE, EAST.
Lady Fired Three Time* at Him,
But lie Made Ilia Eacape.
A burglar entered the Pate resi
dence on Park avenue, east, early last
night, only a few doors from the home
of Mr. J. H. Lynah, in which a bur
glar recently drew a pistol on Miss
Eloise Lvnah.
The discovery of the robber caused
the wildest excitement in* the neigh
horhood and a lady fired three shots
at him as he was running from the
premises.
A telephone message was sent to
police headquarters and mounted men
and detectives were hurried to the
scene, but the burglar had made good
his escape before their arrival. In
getting away the negro dropped his
coat and this was carried to police
headquarters by the officers.
Quite a number of persons got a
good view of the burglar as he left
the house In which he was discovered.
He ran out of the house, jumped the
yard fence and fled down the lane.
By the time he reached the lane two
shots had been fired at him and
many people ran out of their houses
to see what the trouble was.
The firing of the shots and the ap
pearance of a number of uniformed
men threw the neighborhood Into an
Intense state of excitement. For half
an hour the officers searched every
conceivable hiding place without suc
cess. The members of the Lynah fam
ily were very much agitated because of
the close proximity of the burglary to
their home.
NORTHEASTER DELAYED
SOUTHBOUND SHIPS.
City of Atlanta anil Merrimack from
Ten to Twelve Hour* Late.
From ten to twelve hours late the
City of Atlanta, of the Ocean Steam
ship Company, from New York, and
the Merrimack, of the Merchants and
Miners Line, from Philadelphia, ar
rived last night after an exciting ex
perience with the storm which raged
up the coast Sunday.
The City of Atlanta reached port
shortly after 6 o'clock, about ten hours
late. The trip down from New York
to this side of Hatteras was rough,
but the weather was nothing to com
pare with the storm which was en
countered Sunday morning at 3 o’clock,
and which raged with unabated fury
for twenty-four hours.
The storm was accompanied by rain
and hail, making it almost impossible
for the ship to make any headway.
The ship, which had its first experience
with a storm, behaved beautifully, and
at no time were the officers uneasy.
Capt. Fisher was in command, and put
to sea as soon as the force of the storm
was felt.
The Merrimack, from Philadelphia,
encountered the storm shortly after
leaving the Chesapeake, about 4 o’clock
Sunday morning. The ship carried an
unusually large passenger list, and
there was much uneasiness among the
passengers as the ship was butfeted
about by the wind, which blew from
fifty to sixty-five miles an hour. The
steamer reached Savannah shortly be
fore 11 o’clock.
CAR ROBBER CARRIED
EACK TO COLUMBIA.
Special Agent lllsliop I,eft With
Mnrphy’s Prisoner* Yesterday,
George Mack, the car robber arrest
ed by Detective Murphy several days
ago, was carried to Columbia yester
day by Special Agent Bishop of the
Southern Railway, whose headquarters
are in Columbia. There are three clear
cases of robbery against the negro, all
three of them committed in South Car
olina.
Yesterday a large amount of goods
that had been pawned by Mack, were
recovered from the various pawn shops
of the city. Many of the articles were
not stolen during any of the three rob
beries that the officers know of, and It
Is certain the negro is implicated In
other thefts.
Mack will be prosecuted in Carolina.
He has admitted two of the robberies,
but these two took place in different
counties, one of them at Columbia and
one at Blackville. The negro will
probably be prosecuted only in Colum
bia.
Special Agent Bishop was pleased
with Detective Murphy’s catch. He
believes the arrest of Mack will break
up a gang that has been robbing the
Southern Railway for months. Oth
ers implicated in the robberies will
probably be caught.
CONTRACT FOR MARINE
RAILWAY DRY DOCK.
Mr. William Kehoe Cla*ed With
Boston Film While There.
Mr. William Kehoe has just returned
from Boston, where he went to close
the contract for the building of the
dry dock for the new marine railway
which will be constructed by his com
pany.
The work will be done by Crandall,
Sons & Cos., of Boston, and will begin
Jan. 1. This is us soon as the lease
can be secured on the property. It
Is exoected that the railway will be
complete early In the summer.
"I was in New York election night,”
said Mr. Kehoe, "and it was a great
sight. The crowds were immense on
Broadway between Madison Square
and Herald Square. There was a great
deal of excitement in evidence.”
SCHOONER FOR A RUDDER
Will Be Used by Steamship Finance
on Trip to New York.
The disabled steamer Finance which
reached this city last week will In all
probability start for New York this
morning. Arrangements were per
fected yesterday to make the start.
As now planned the W. F. McCauley
and the Dauntless will tow the ship,
which in turn will tow the lunrfber
laden schooner Margaret A. May. The
idea of towing the May is that the ves
sel can keep the steamer headed In the
right direction, acting in this capacity
in the place of the lost rudder.
FIREMEN’S COFFEE WAGON
TO BE STARTED AGAIN.
The cofTee wagon for the firemen is
to be put Into use again. Miss Meg
Cosen* called upon Mayor Myers ye*,
terday In regard to the matter and will
ask the city to make a small appro
priation toward* Its maintenance.
The Mayor assured her It would re
ceive the city’* support. It is necessary
for the men to have some stimulant
while fighting extra hard fires, and
cofTee Is thought to be the proper thing.
Council will probably make a small
appropriation at its next meeting.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 15. 1904.
CLUB ALL RIGHT,
WITHOUT LIQUOR
GAMBLING ALSO TABOOED.
VOLUNTEER GUARDS HELD MONTH
LY MEETING LAST NIGHT.
Speaker* Tolil of Glorlon* Achieve
ment* of Organization In Last
Hundred Year*, and Were Cheered.
By-Law* Amended to Include A
aoelate Member*—Maj. IV. B. Steph
en* Treated the Crowd With
lunch and Lemonade.
All classes of members in the Savan
nah Volunteer Guards Joined last night
in throwing wide open the beautiful
home of the organization, in which
there will be no drinking or gambling.
Stirring talks by former officers
aroused the enthusiasm of the
men, and the speakers were
frequently interrupted with applause
as they told of the achievements of
the Guhrds for more than a century.
Maj. W. B. Stephens, the newly com
missioned commanding officer of the
battalion presided at the regular
monthly session of the Guards, the
meeting being the first since the or
ganization took over the rooms former
ly used by the Tomochichi Club.
In addition to the four companies
of the Guards, there were present a
number of distinguished military of
fices and civilians ‘as guests, among
them being Gen. W. W. Gordon, Maj.
W. W. Williamson, Lieut. Col. Gray
son, Judge Cann, Capt. Henry Blun,
Jr., Mr. W. R. Leaken, Mr. S. B.
Theus, and Mr. Frank Battey. The
visitors and guests were received by
Maj. Stephens.
At the stroke of a gong the four com
panies marched in twos Into the ar
mory hall and were seated In each of
the four divisions of chairs. Behind
them were 'the members of the classes
other than active, and the visitors.
Cheer* for Maj. Stephen*.
The entrance of Maj. Stephens was
the signal for all outburst of applause
which was prolonged. After calling
the meeting to order, Maj. Stephens
requested the reading of the minutes
of the previous meeting. The reading
of the order naming Maj. Stephens as
battalion commander, provoked an
other round of applause. A letter was
read from Maj. W. W. Williamson,
thanking the battalion for its resolu
tions expressive of regret at his resig
nation.
The report of the committee appoint
ed to redraft the by-laws of the
Guards was called for. Lieut. Adams
of the committee, stated the report
was ready and filled over twenty pages
of type-written matter, and said he
would summarize its features, as the
by-laws had to be posted for thirty
days, and could not be voted on until
the next meeting, in any event.
The principal change of Interest to
the public was the provisions for as
sociate members, who desired to enjoy
the privileges of the club and the pres
tige of the organization.
The control of the club’s affairs whs
vested in a Board of Governors, to be
composed of three officers, three pri
vates and three associate members.
The fees for associate members will be
sls per year in advance, or $8 semi
annually.
Not a Sunday-School.
Following the business of the meet
ing, Maj. Stephens made a short talk,
expressing his appreciation of the
honor shown him and his hope that
he might measure up to the responsi
bility of the position. He hoped, he
said, to make the organization con
tinue in the future what it had In the
past.
The speaker took occasion to reply
to a criticism to the effect that a
Sunday-school was to be run, meaning
that the banishment of liquor selling
and gambling was taken that way by
some. “We -are simply eliminating
that which every young man who
would succeed needs to have elimi
nated,” said Maj. Stephens. The
statement was greeted with applause.
Col. Garrard, formerly oommander
of the battalion, was called on by
Maj. Stephens, and responded to the
command, as he expressed it, of a su
perior officer. He spoke of the glo
rious achievements of the corps, which
had been organized in 1802. He thought
the social features would prove of
great benefit.
Gen. W. W. Gordon, an honorary
member, spoke of an Incident of the
Spanish-American War and the part
the battalion took In quelling a dis
turbance almost by its name. “I trust
that in the future the high ideals of
the Guards will be maintained with
the same success they have in the
past,” he said in conclusion.
Clnb Without Temptations.
Judge G. T. Cann urged that the
corps profit by its past history. The
citizen-soldiery, with high ideals. Is
what protects the country from danger
from outside foes, he said. He com
mended the club idea which banished
drinking and gambling as being the
first move of the kind undertaken.
“You have a where manly,
honest and upright men can come to
gether and meet in social intercourse
without the temptations usually a part
of club life,” said Judge Cann,” "and
where young men of limited means
can make their home. It is hot neces
sary that a man to be a manly man.
should be a drunkard, gambler, or one
who will not pay his depts.l think this is
a most auspicious event, one whose re
sults will be felt not only by the corps
but by the community.”
Mr. Walter C. Hodges, who had en
listed as a private, paid a compliment
to the commanding officers of the
Guards since its organization, and
said the future was In the hands of the
men.
“Long Live the Kina."
Maj. W. W. Williamson, whose res
ignation as commander of the battal
ion was followed by the election of Maj.
Stephens, was called on. He was giv
en an ovation when he arose. He
bespoke the same loyalty for the now
commander as had been given him,
and with this the future of the bat
talion would be secure. “The King is
dead: long live the King,” he said In
conclusion.
Maj. Stephens then announced that
the meeting would stand adjourned and
stated he had prepared “a bite to eat”
for everybody, which would be served
at once.
In the dining room sandwiches and
salads were served, while in the hall
lemonade w<as on tap for everybody.
After lunch many lingered in the read
ing room* of the club, which were kept
open until a late hour.

G. P. WALKER PRESIDENT
OF COTTON EXCHANGE.
Headed Ticket on Which Wright
Hunter Wn* Vice President.
The annual election of officers for the
Cotton Exchange was held yesterday
between 10 a. m. and 2 p. m., with the
result that Capt. George P. Walker,
the former vice president, was elected
president, and Capt. Wright Hunter,
formerly chairman of the Committee
on Information and Statistics, was
made vice president.
Two tickets were in the field, one
hS” * V' •' ,
CAPT. G. P. WALKER.
headed by Capt. Walker and the other
by Mr. J. B. Holst, the president prior
to the election. On the second ballot
Capt. Walker was named to continue
in the place of vice president. Eighty
five votes were cast and they were
overwhelmingly in favor of the ticket
elected.
The directors elected at the same
time ednsist of Messrs. John' Flannery,
W. K. Steedman, John Nisbet, W. F.
McCauley, C. G. Bell, H. Weber, J. C.
Harris, W. L. Wilson and R. P. Canon.
The inspectors of election for the next
term, also chosen at the same time, are
Messrs. A. J. Ritch, P. T. Haskell, Jr.,
and W. R. Crum. The inspectors yes
terday were Messrs. R. P. Canon, A. J.
Ritch and J. N. Esteve.
Capt. Walker is a member of the
firm of Strachan & Cos. and one of the
best known business men of the city.
He has long been prominent in the af
fairs of the Cotton Exchange and is
well equipped to make a success in
his coming term as president.
Capt. Hunter, the head of the firm of
Hunter & Cos., will prove an able aid in
the place of vice president. He has
rendered during the last year most
valuable services to the Exchange as
the head of the Committee on Informa
tion and Statistics, one of the most
Important of the standing committees.
The change in the administration
will take place Thursday, when the
former directors will meet and ad
journ. and the new directors meet to
consider any business in hand. It is
probable that at this meeting Presi
dent Walker will announce the new
committees for the coming year.
MUST ATTEND DRILLS
OR GIVE A REASON.
Companies of First Regiment Are
Divided Into Sauiid*.
Last night marked the opening of
the winter drill season with the com
panies of the First Regiment. A letter
had been sent by Col. Gordon to each
captain, calling attention to a number
of things to be observed by the com
pany officers and the men.
Hereafter absence from company
drills will not be permitted, except for
good and sufficient reasons. The cap
tains were instructed to divide their
companies into squads for the purpose
of stimulating interest in the prizes of
fered. This is in line with the new
rules and regulations, which empha
size more than ever the squad forma
tion.
Notice was also given that officers,
non-commissioned officers and four pri
vates from each company would be ex
pected to attend a school of instruc
tion Thursday night in the quarters of
Cos. K.
In line with the letter, the command
ing officers last night divided their
companies into squads, and directed
the attention of the men to certain
parts of the rules and regulations, and
to order No. 19.
THE STRENUOUS WIfT
BROKE UP THE HOME.
Love Held Out Only Six Week* Un
der Unuanal Condition*.
In the case of W. R. Ivey and Em
ma Ivey love lasted but six weeks aft
er the marriage knot had been tied,
according to papers filed in the Su
perior Court. At the end of that time
the husband came to the conclusion
that the much-vaunted connubial bliss
was something of a mere poetic dream
and he lit out. Yesterday, through At
torneys Clark & Hill he filed suit for
absolute divorce.
According to the petition of the li
bellant the cause of the failure of love
to work out all problems was due to
"the high and ungovernable temper,
and the cruel treatment on
the pa,rt of the defendant.”
He claims she would do all
manner of stunts when she didn’t
get her way, and even got Into the
habit of "slapping him.”
He stood this treatment for Just six
short weeks and then decided it was
time to look for other pastures and
left his home. The husband states
in the petition he does not know where
she is living at the present time.
Neither of the parties holds property.

WARMER WEATHER COMES.
Warming Up Prove** Will Probably
He Slow.
The storm and practically all of Its
effects have passed and yesterday,
despite its somewhat low temperatures,
was a delightful contrast to the day
preceding.
The sun shone during the entire day
and there was scarcely any wind. Fair
to-morrow and gradually rising
temperatures is the prediction. The
warming process will In ail probability
be slow, but nevertheless steady.
As compared with other parts of the
country Savannah eoinparatlvely
escaped the severe weather. Heavy
snows are reported in many places,
especially In the North and East. As
stated yesterday Atlanta had a light
snow-fall. At Washington the fall was
vsry heavy and for a time cut off all
communication with the outside world.

CITY TO EMPLOY
TUGS FOR FIRES
WILL* PAY REGULAR RATES.
MAYOR MYERS HAS PLAN HE WILL
SUMMIT TO COUNCIL.
Want* to Make Tng* Subject to Call
of City for Water Front Fires and
Pay Tliem So Much an Hour lor
Time They Work-Hoie of Tug
Dauntless* May Have Been Cut
During Seaboard Fire and Re
ward* Have Been Offered.
Because of the excellent work done
by the tugs at the Seaboard Ail Line
warehouse fire Saturday night, the
city will probably make an agreement
with the owners of the tugs for them
to serve at all fires on the river front.
Mayor Myers approves the plan and
will bring It to the attention of Coun
cil at the next meeting.
The Mayor thinks the city can well
afford to pay the tug owners reason
able rates for their services. The way
they pumped water into the burning
warehouse showed what excellent
work they can do. The Mayor’s plan
is to arrange with the owners to pay
each tug so much an hour for services
in case of a fire, and to have them
subject to\he call of the city for all
river front fires.
Reward* for Hou Cutter.
The hose from the tug Dauntless
was cut during the Saturday night fire,
It has been charged, and on this theory
both the city and Mr. W. A. Bisbee
have offered rewards for information
leading to the arrest and conviction of
the party or parties who cut it. if it
was really cut. Mr. Bisbee has offered
SIOO reward and Mayor Myers offered
the same amount for the city.
There is considerable doubt as to
whether the hose was cut or simply
burst. When the hose was given to
the firemen, the negro who brought It
from the tug stated it had been
gnawed by rats. It was encircled in a
“hose jacket” before it was used.
The superintendent of police and the
superintendent of the fire department
both made an examination of the hose
during the day. Both thought the
hose had been cut, but they had not
then heard the rat story.
The fire chief ordered the section of
hose sent to fire headquarters and will
make an examination to-day. He can
not tell until this examination is made
whether the hose was cut with a knife
or gnawed by rats. A hose jacket was
used on some of the tugs though, the
chief says, which shows it was in bad
condition when it went into service.
Equal* Another Station.
So far as the river front is concern
ed, the regular employment of the tugs
to fight fires will be equal to the es
tablishment of another fire station.
The plan which Mayor Myers has
outlined Is practically certain to be
approved by Council and the arrange
ment will then be made.
The tug owners who have heard of
the plan approve it and say they
would be gfad to enter such an agree
ment with the city. It would great
ly aid the regular department In fight
ing fires on the river front.
GENERAL PROSPERITY
DEFEATED JUDGE PARKER.
United State* Attorney Believe* Too
Many Faction* Among Democrat*.
When asked what he thought of the
recent election, Mr. Robert A. How
ard, who is in Savannah in the inter
est of some claims against the gov
ernment, said at the De Soto last
night, that he attributed the result to
the generally prosperous condition of
the country, as well as to the personal
popularity of Mr. Roosevelt.
“There seems to have been too many
leaders in the Democratic party,” said
Mr. Howard. “While Mr. Bryan, Mr.
Watson, Mr. Hearst. Mr. Hill and
others were wrangling among the par
ty, Mr. Roosevelt and old "General
Prosperity” came along and captured
the presidency.”
Mr. Howard said he believed from
Information obtained in Washington,
that the South Is In better financial
condition now than at any time since
the w r ar.
COAL STORAGE^YARD _
FOR ELECTRIC COMPANY.
The Savannah Electric Company has
just completed anew storage yard
for coal next to the power house.
The yard Was a capacity of about
2,000 tons, and was built by reason
of the large contract which the com
pany recently made with the Dixon
Lumber Company for a year’s supply
of coal.
Under the contract the coal Is to
be delivered from time to time during
the year. It was found to be more
convenient, though, to get it in larger
quantities at a time than has hereto
fore been done and the storage yard
was accordingly built.

sistance of the police, without financial
aid from the city. He did not decline,
however, to give the aid, but requested
Miss Cosens to reorganize the society
and to then file a petition with Coun
cil asking for aid.
iMiss Cosens immediately adopted the
suggestion of the Mayor before asking
for aid from the city, and invited the
Mayor to become the first member un
der the reorganization. He agreed tp
join and other city officials later did
the same. Miss Cosens thinks she will
be able to get 75 or 100 members within
a week, and will put in a petition at
the next meeting of Council.
Her iplan 1s to have every member
pay a small membership fee, which
will be used in the care of injured ani
mals. Some veterinary surgeon will be
paid a salary to look after all the ani
mals turned over by the society. All
cruelty to animals will be prosecuted,
and Mayor Myers has offered to use
his influence to pass any additional or
dinances the society might decide
would aid in its work.
BRICK MEN WANT CONTRACT.
Sealed Bid* Will Be Opened at Noon
To-day by Committee.
There will be a lively contest for the
big brick contract, which the Streets
and Lanes Committee of Council will
award to-day. The sealed bids will be
opened at noon by the committee In
the presence of the bidders.
Several prominent brick men arrived
in the city yesterday to look after the
interests of their companies. Among
the number were D. F. Jack, Esq., and
Capt. Frank Clark of Augusta, Mr. T.
H. Halsey of Chattanooga and Mr. H.
S. Matthews of Birmingham. Others
will probably arrive this morning.
Capt. Clark is president of the Augusta
Brick Company, and Mr. Jack, who
was at one time with the Plant System
here, is with the same concern.
The contract is for 50.000 square
yards of vitrified brick. It is as large
as any brick contract the city has ever
let and there is keen competition
among the brick men to secure it.
