The resolution expresses the confidence of Post A. in the judgment displayed by Capt. Hitch, and sets forth that his dismissal from the service of the state was a mistake which should be recti fied. A considerable degree of enthusiasm prevailed when the resolution was read by Mr. Maurice F. Mever, the secretary.

Resolved, that Post A, Georgia Di vision Travelers’ Protective Associa tion of America, hereby expresses its confidence in the judgment displayed by Capt. R. M. Hitch at Statesboro on Aug. 15 and 16, during the riot at that point. . , .. Resolved, further, that it is the sense of this post that we believe the action of the Governor In dismissing Capt. Hitch from the Georgia State Troops was unjust and unwarranted by the facts, and in our opinion, should be rectified, if not by the Governor, then by the next Legislature. Resolved, that a copy of these reso lutions be transmitted to the Governor by the Secretary of this post, and that additional copies be sent to Capt. Hitch, the state committees of the Travelers’ Protective Association, and to all the other posts of the state. National Meeting Plans.

WHAT SULPHUR DOES For the Human Body In Health and Disease. The mention of sulphur will recall to many of us the early days when our mothers and grandmothers gave us our daily dose of sulphur and mo lasses every spring and fall. It wag the universal spring and fall “blood purifier,” tonic and cure-all, and mind you, this old-fashioned rem edy was not without merit. The idea was good, but the remedy was crude and unpalatable, and a large quantity had to be taken to get any effect. Nowadays we get all the beneficial effects of sulphur in a palatable, con centrated form, so that a single grain is far more effective than a table spoonful of the crude sulphur. In recent years, research and ex periment have proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use is that ob tained from Calcium (Calcium Sul phide) and Bold in drug stores under the name of Stuart’s Calcium Wafers. They are small chocolate coated pel lets and contain the active medicinal principle of sulphur In a highly con centrated, effective form. Few people are aware of the value of this form of sulphur in restoring and maintaining bodily vigor .and health: sulphur acts directly on the liver, and excretory organs and puri fies and enriches the blood by the prompt elimination of waste material. Our grandmothers knew this when they dosed us with sulphur and mo lasses every spring and fall, but the crudity and Impurity of ordinary flow er* of sulphur were often worse than the disease and cannot compare with the modern concentrated preparation of sulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium Wafers is undoubtedly the best and most widely used. They are the natural antidote for Uver and kidney troubles, and cure constipntlon and purify the blood In a way that often surplses patient and physician alike. Dr. R. M. Wilkins, while experi menting with sulphur remedies soon found that the sulphur from Calcium was superior to any other form. He says: “For liver, kidney and blood troubles, especially when resulting from constipation or malaria. I have been surprised at the results ob tained from Stuart’s Calcium Wafers# In patients suffering from bolls snd pimples and even deep-seated carbun cles, I have repeatedly seen them dry up and disappear In four or five days, leaving the skin clear and smooth. Although Stuart’s Calcium Wafers Is a proprietary article, and sold by druggists, and for that reason tabooed by many physicians, yet I know of nothing so safs and reliable for con stipation, liver and kidney troubles and especially In all forms of skin dis ease as this remedy.” At any rale people who are tired of pills, cathartic* snd so-called blood "purifiers” will find In atusrt’s Cal cium Wafers a far safer, more pal atable and effective preparation. SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 27. 1004. BAPTISTS HOME FROM CONVENTION SPEAK IN HIGHEST TERMS OF WORK DONE AND HOSPITALITY EXTENDED DELEGATES. The Munificent Gift of Mr. W. W. Brooka of Rome to the Cause ot Mtaaiona AV mm the Feature of the Convention Reaolationa Adopted Condemning the Action of Parlia ment In Placing the Sehoola ot England Under Control of Estab lished Church. The Savannah delegates to the Georgia Baptists annual convention, which has been in session during the last week at Columbus, returned yes terday morning. Those who attended were Rev. Dr. John D. Jordan of the First Baptist Church, Rev. Robert Van Deventer of the Duffy Street Baptist Church, and Messrs. Kirkland and Newiand and Mesdames Williams and McNeil of the Duffy Street Baptist Church. All of the delegates who were seen spoke in the highest terms of the work of the convention and of the hospital ity shown by the people of the city in which the convention assembled. The doors of all the homes were thrown open to the visitors and everything possible done .to make their stay in the city an enjoyable one and one which would be long remembered. There were more than 600 Baptists in attendance at the gathering ai.d the work of entertainment was no little one. Yet everything was carried out withou? a hitch and only commenda tion is heard from the committee which had charge of this important feature. “There was nothing transacted by the convention,” said Rev. Mr. Van Deventer, “that was especially local, as far as Savannah is concerned. No changes were made in the pastors and only commendation was heard for the work that has been done in the Sa vannah Baptist churches during the year that has Just closed. All of us left the convention with the Intention of doing all in our power to make the coming year even better than the one that we have just closed.” The Missionary Work. All of the delegates speak in the highest term of the enthusiasm shown for the missionary work of the church, both at home and abroad. The feature of the convention was, perhaps, the magnificent gift to the missionary cause made by Mr. W. W. Brooks of Rome. This gift, as stated in the telegraphic dispatches of the Morning News, came as a complete surprise and created more or less of a sensation. Several enthusiastic talks on the subject of missions had been made, and especial attention had been called by the lead ers of the movement to the fact that the Baptists had made no large indi vidual gifts to the missionary cause, as they had to the educational cause and to the development of their home churches. Following one of these addresses Mr. Brooks stated he believed one of the greatest sins of the people was the quenching of the spirit of giving. In closing he stated he wished to person ally present the board of missions with a gift of $5,000. The effect was highly dramatic. For a few minutes there was a tense silence in the hall, and then, under the leadership of Mr. Wil liam D. Upshaw, the entire assembly began singing “Praise God, from Whom All Blessings Flow.” Other Action Taken. One of the things of general Interest transacted at the convention was the offering of the resolution condemning the action of the British Parliament regarding the control of the schools of England. The resolution was adopted practically unanimously. The action to which the Baptists ob ject is the placing of the control of the free schools of England in the hands of the Church of England. This is construed to mean that only the doctrines of that church would be taught to the children. All non-con formists, whether or not they believe in the doctrines of the established church, are compelled to support these schools, and such action is looked upon as unjust by the Baptists, and other non-conforming deqpminattons. SAVANNAH DAM WILL SOON BE COMPLETED. The work of organizing’ the Savan nah dam of the Independent Order of Beavers Is progressing rapidly, over half a hundred having already signed application blanks. The dam will soon be established. Mr. Tripp, state organizer, and Mr. Zimmer, Southern organizer, say a dam In Savannah Is now assured, and they hope to have over 100 names of repre sentative men on the roll before the end of the coming week.

Copyright v 904 by Hart Schaffner & Marx ENTERTAINMENT AT NEW KINDERGARTEN. A pleasant entertainment was pro vided for the mothers and friends of the little ones attending the kindergar ten conduoted by Miss L. McCarthy at Drayton and Taylor streets during the latter part of last week. The enter tainment was In the nature of a Thanksgiving programme, and marked the close of the week In the school. The usual work of singing, physical drills, manual training and other sub jects taught In the schools were gone through with, after which all joined In informal merry-making. The occasion was made a delightful one, and one which will long be remembered by the mothers of the children and the friends of the school who had gathered there to assist In the celebration. The first year of the kindergarten promises to be an unqualified success. This Is almost solely due to the energy and untiring efforts of Miss McCarthy, who have given her entire time to the work and to its upbuilding. THREE SENTENCED TO BE HANGED. Drntb to be Visited Upon Murderers at Rome. Rome, Ga„ Nov. 26. —Judge Henry to-day sentenced three men to be hang ed—Jack Bone for killing Z. T. Hall, to be executed Dec. 19; Courtney Bac ker for killing his wife at Cave Springs: Bob Sutherland, for killing three negroes at a dance, the latter two. negroes, to be executed Dec. 20. Motions will be made for commuta tion of sentences to life imprisonment, but as all three went to the Supreme Court, It is almost certain that none will be granted. CONSCIENCE STRICKEN SENT CHECK FOR 5750. Oolnmhnt Insurance Company Cred its “Conscience” Knnd.j Columbus, Ga., Nov. 26.—The Georgia Home Insurance Company of this city to-day received $750 In New York ex change from some unknown person. Accompanying It was a note stating that the writer desired that the money be added to the company’s "conscience” fund. The check was on the Bank of Com mence, New York. The money is evi dently from some person who had re ceived fire insurance money to which he was not entitled. The letter waa dated New Tork city. INTERESTING, IF TRUE. You Can Try It Fop Yourself and Prove It. One grain of the active principle In Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 8,000 grains of meat, eggs or other wholesome food, and this claim has been proven by actual experiment which anyone can perform for him self In the following manner: Cut hard-boiled eggs into very small pieces, as it would be If masticated, place the egg and two or three of the tablets in a bottle or Jar containing warm water, heated to 98 degrees (the temperature of the body), and keep It at this temperature for three and one half hours, at the end of which time the egg will be as completely digested as It would have been in the healthy stomach of a hungry boy. The point of this experiment Is that what Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will do to the egg In the bottle it will do to the egg or meat In the stomach, and nothing else will rest and Invigorate the stomach so safely and effectually. Even a little child can take Stuart’s Tablets with safety and benefit If Its digestion Is weak and the thousands of cures accomplished by their regular dally use are easily explained when It Is understood that they are composed of vegetable essences, aseptic pepsin, diastase and Oolden Seal, which min gles with the food and digest It thor oughly, giving the overworked stom ach a chance to recuperate. Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neither do pills and cathartic medi cines, which simply Irritate and In flame the lnteetlnee. When enough food Is eaten and promptly digested there wilt be no constipation, nor In fact will there be disease of sny kind, because good di gestion means good health In every organ. The merit and success of Htuart'a Dyspepsia Tablets are world-wide and thtr *r* *ld at tk moderate price of ■# #|a for full sized package In ev ery drug autre In the United State* and Canada, as wall as In Europe. THE “WACO PLAN” NOT INDORSED BY SAVANNAH BANKER. FRAME CRITICISM OF IT MIDE TO PROMOTER BY MR. M. B. LANE. Believe* Planters Should got Be En couraged to Speculate, and If They Will It la Better They Sell Their Crop of Colton and Speculate In Futures—lf Farmera Hold Cotton Until Mill Men Can Slse Dp Crop Formers Will Be Forced to Con tinue Holding Until Mill Men Are Ready to Buy. The ‘‘Waco Plan” of building cot ton warehouses throughout the cotton producing territory of the South has become more or less familiar since the plan was Inaugurated by the Bus iness Men’s Club and the Farmer’s In stitute of Waco, Tex. Those behind the movement are now trying to secure expressions of opinion as to the feasibility and practicability of the plan from bankers, cotton men and merchants In all parts of the country, and to this end have re cently sent letters and specifications of the plan to several of the bankers In Savannah. The literature accompanying the letters set forth the present grievances of the producers of cotton in the poor marketing facilities now afforded him, and the necessity of disposing of his cotton so soon as it shall be In condi tion to market, instead of holding it until such time as he can get what he considers a fair price for It. To Bnlld Warehouse*. The Waco Plan proposes to remedy this by the construction of warehouses at all such points as the yearly re ceipts of cotton shall warrant, to have these structures owned and operated by a company that shall ha organized for their building, and which It is pro ' posed shall be composed of fanners, merchants “and bankers, those direct ly Interested In the cotton crop. Various advantages are claimed for such a plan, and these are set forth at length by those promoting It. But they do not meet the views of the Savannah men who have given the matter their attention as the letter from Mr. Mills B. Lane to Judge Eu gene Williams, of Waco, yesterday, sets forth. Mr. Lane says: "Referring to letter received from W. W. Seley, president, Waco State Bank, and other hankers of Waco, the writer begs to advise that he does not see why such a warehouse system as outlined In your circular letter should be organized, for the following rea sons: Why Flan Would Fall. "Planters should not be encouraged to speculate, and If they do speculate, it Is best for them to sell the crop and •peculate In futures, as carrying charges then amount to nothing, and the money received from cotton could be put In a savings bank, or lent out, and he bringing in some revenue to the planter. There are sufficient ware houses throughout the country that are operated by merchants and bankers to hold all the cotton that should be held In the country. “Should the planters make more cot ton than the trade demands. It would be a mistake for them not to sell as soon as the crop has been gathered and put In condition to he marketed, as there is always some doubt as to what the crop will he until the plant ers have had time to market at least half the crop. The cotton mills are afraid to let too much cotton get out of sight before they buy their stock, and fn that way pay good prices for cotton during the harvesting season; but If the cotton Is carried over until spring, and It Is known ther# Is suffi cient cotton to meet all demands, the mills will force the planters to carry the cotton until they need It, saving the carrying charge*. Money Market’s Effect. “Many times a little stringency In the money market causes banks to call for more margin, or call the loans they may be carrying on cotton, and In that way, the market could be forc ed lower than it should go, and lower than It would have gone had the plant ers sold the orop during the harvest ing season, making the mills hold the bulk of th* stork of cotton, rather than themselves ’ After mills buy sottoo at high prices THE DRESS SUIT is a social index.

Full Dress Suits (Coat, Vest and Fonts) $30.00 to $40.00 Opera Hats, 8.00 Full Dress Ties, 25c to 50c Men's Business Suits in black, blue and the new est fancy effects.

It is to tha interest of the mills to keep the market up, and if they have bought considerable early in the sea son, when there is some doubt as to the size of the crop, and paid good prices for the same, it would enabln the planters to get a good price for their entire crop. Farmers' Alliance Fiasco. "Several years ago the Farmers' Alli ance throughout tho country organized stores and warehouses to carry on a business similar to the plan you sug gest, and it was <a complete failure. “The farmers lost ell they put into tho business and a few sharkers reaped a little benefit for a short period, and the warehouses are now owned by pri vate individuals. "At the time the Farmers' Alliance was organized cotton was worth 10 cents a pound, and the alliance was formed to fix a price of 12 cents for tho value of the cotton crop, and It was only a few years after that time that cotton was down to 6 cent*.” AUGUSTA ¥ANTSA NEW CITY HALL Bat Is Having a Hard Time Locating Jt. Augusta, Nov. 26.—The question of a site, and many persons with a piece of land to sell, have held up the pro posed city hall, and there Is every in dication that it will be some time be fore there Is any let up In the agi tation. Some monthß ago, about the time the city officials had a good opportu nity to see the new municipal home Savannah is getting, there was talk of a similar structure here, on Broad street, about where the present Planters Hotel is located; then the matter dropped out of sight, though It was not dead—only slumbering, lulled to sleep by the fact that every body realized that after the paving of Broad street, another such undertak ing was a big financial proposition. Lately, the decision of the United States Supreme Court against the railroads and their holdings of bonds, caused the city to again have hope. There was money enough In sight to build a fine city hall from the taxes thus obtained. Council had, meantime, been work ing quietly, and the Finance Com fnittee, to which the matter had been referred, had appointed a sub-com mittee to select a site and to report back, the choice then being referred to Council for Its ratification. Here the trouble begins. The Mayor says the ordinance, or resolution, thus dis posing of the matter, was loosely worded and that there might be room for complaint on the ground that the sub-commltee had the right of final selection, Council’s ratification being a merely formal one. The commit teemen say that they knew they had to have their action confirmed and that they were not agents In any pur chase for the city. But, at any rate they picked out a lot on the property facing the new depot and agreed to buy It for 840,000, If the sellers would take the city’s notes for the amount, at 5 per cent. Interest. The agent of the company accepted, and It waa giv en out to the public that the depot site had been chosen. Instantly tehre was a great hue and cry raised. Others with sites for sale were up In arms about It and said the committeemen had exceeded their au thority. In defense, these gentlemen said It was perfectly understood by the selling agent that the act was not binding until Council confirmed It. An extra meeting of Council to-night re fused to do any such thing. It had to listen to petitions galors and finally postponed action. The City Hall Is still a vision of the indeterminate future. All Augustans are hoping to have It constructed, but no matter on what spot It is located, there will be many who will believe until their dying day that the City Council made a bad choice. Meantime, the lot of the councllmen la not an enviable one. The amount of urging they have to undergo, for one loca tion or another, would cause many a man to sicken at the task. If he was not an Inveterate politician. STEAMER RAN AGROUND IN ST. JOHNS RIVER. Deland, Fla.. Nov. 2*.—The steamer De Barry, coming from Hanford to Jacksonville, stuck In Ooxetter bend in the Ht.

RUNAWAY TEAM WAS ATTACHED TO A HEAVY ICE WAGON. So Terrific Wa* Collision That Pole of Heavy Vehicle Penetrated Sevi eral Feet Into Side of Car—Alniot a Miracle No One Wa* Herlonsly Hart—Accident Occurred at West Broad and Margaret Street*. A runaway team of mules attached to sn ice wagon of the Knickerbocker Ice Company, crashed into a closed car on the West End line of the Sa vannah Electric Company, early yes terday afternoon.'Almost by a miracle the three passengers sitting on the side of the car struck by the pole of the wagon, were not seriously Injured. The car was in charge of Motorman W. F. Gill and Conductor E. T. Bevt ans, bound for West End, Just after the car was passing Margaret street on West Broad the frightened team came rushing down the street, charg ing directly Into the side of the car where Lucinda Scott, Mary Sinsteg and Isaao Lane, all colored, were sit ting. The pole of the wagon struck the middle of the car with such force that It was driven several feet Into the sides, the concussion knocking the passengers from their seats into the middle of the aisle. So terrific was the collision that at first It was thought at least one of the passengers had been killed, but they were soon able to get on their feet. They proceeded on their way to West End, where Dr. George M. Norton at tended to their Injuries. It was with much difficulty that the wagon pole was extricated from ths side of the car, the mules having to be cut out of their harness before this could be accomplished. The driver of the lee wagon was thrown from his seat by the fores of the collision, but was not hurt. Those who witnessed the accident declare It was a miracle no one was seriously hurt. There were a number of passengers on the car at the time, find the utmost confusion reigned. MABRY WAS KILLED BY HIS OWN PISTOL Wa* Raised by a Friend When He Brew tlie Weapon. Toccoa, Ga., Nov. 26.
