All Practice* Will lie In Secret.
With Savannah's fighting blood fair
ly aroused the first practice since the
great Thanksgiving battle, held last
night, drew out many new faces and
sturdy forms, which will fight for the
honor and glory of the Blue and White
on fields yet to be won.
Capt. Cope has settled down to
work with the magnificent material
now at hand, to perfect a team which
will not. know what the word "quit"*
means. There will be no more pain
ful absence of that old Savannah fight
ing spirit, which was so noticeable in
the play of some of the men in the
games already played this year.
When Savannah played the Florida
State College the excuse for the slug
gish work of the men was that it was
not necessary to play hard. The Bume
story was advanced in the Fort Screv
en game, but this would not suffice
in the Jacksonville game, and there
will be a general shaking up in the
Blue and White line.
No sooner had the announcement
been made that Highatns, the stal

FOOTBALL SENTIMENT FAVORS
MORE OPEN GAME IN FUTURE
Mass Plays in Football Must Go, Say the East
ern Critics.
Before the echo of the last cheer for
the final ’Varsity game has died away
there is a unanimous demand from
every source for more open football
In the future, says a special from New
York.
At no time since the rules have been
the subject of controversy has the sen
timent been so wholly one-sided for a
departure from the scheme of the
game as it is played at present.
Experts in Harvard, Princeton and
New Haven—critics who have followed
the game as closely and with as much
interest as its progenitors—are to a
man demanding that something he
done to eliminate the constant heavy
mass plays which render the contests
dull and stupid and which are but the
evolution of a type of play fostered
rather than frowned upon by the rule
makers.
Slight modifications, in deference of
public opinion, and because of the re

Joined the Jacksonville team to be
ready for the game Saturday with
Charleston bets were offered freely
here that Jacksonville would win.
The addition of Smith and Council,
with Bridges already in Jacksonville,
makes a line up that compares in ev

Council hears the reputation of being

HUSSARS SUSTAINED LAST

numerical strength from the Guards.
In the ten-team contest the Hussars
won by about fifty pins. In the five

winners by a much larger margin.

Xew Men Were Out.
Both Joe Rossiter and Joe Black
failed to attend the practice in uni
form last night, but both stated they
would attend from now on. Rossiter
ran through some of the plays, and no
one doubts he will do his part.
Three new figures in uniform were
Launcy, who is trying for either an
end or half back position; Seely and
Strong, who are trying for guards.
Launcy weighs about 140, but is fleet
as a deer and undei stands the game,
which counts for much. Seely is the
most powerful man who has ever been
an applicant for a position on the
team. Six feet and two inches in
hight, weighing 216 pounds, with not
an ounce of surplus flesh, he is a
veritable demon in action.
Paschal Strong is the other appli
cant for a guard position. Strong is
six feet three inches, weighs 190
pounds, and runs like a deer. Capt.
Cope says the two men are unusually
promising, and hopes to develop them
in time for the Christmas game.
Cornwell a Fullback.
Capt. Cope made several changes in
the line up for last night’s practice.
Lansberg, Hicks, Highams and Futch
were absent. Monsees was sent in at
center. Strong and Seely at the guards,
Johnson and Artly at tackles, Short
ridge at quarterback. Harmon and
Sullivan at halves, Cornwell at full
back and Cubbedge and Doty at the
ends.
Cornwell may be used altogether in
the back field. His punting is a strong
factor, and as the teams which will
oppose Savannah have unusually
strong secondary defenses, Capt. Cope
will put as much weight behind the
line as possible. Johnson will go hack
at tackle, and Rossiter will play a
tackle position, Artly possibly being
switched over to an end. In fact, there
is little certainty about the positions
as they will be finally given out. There
has been a disposition on the part of
some of the men to shirk their work
in games as well as in practice, and
no matter how valuable a man is, this
will not be tolerated.
suits of the extreme conservatism of
the rule makers, have been made In the
last two years in the regulations, but
a more radical departure is demanded.
Both the Princeton and Harvard
games with Yale were finished this
year with not more than three Inci
dents out of the ordinary. The re
mainder of the time it w r ag simply an
exhibition of brute strength which be
came so wearisome that people yawned
over It.
College men exclaimed: “For heav
en’s sake, why don’t they do some
thing?"
Later this sentiment was expressed:
“The rule makers should get in and
accomplish something which shall
make It possible for a man at least to
run with the ball once In a while, and
not expect that he must catapult a
line with a forlorn hope of making at
least one yard.”
It has been suggested that each
member of a team be compelled to play
his posh ion; in other words, no tack
les be brought back or guards to run
the ball.
It is said of him that whenever he
tackles a man in the open he has to
be dug out of the field with a spade
and pickaxes.
Kirby Smith, while not the star of
the Sewanee team, is almost equal to
Phillips as a ground gainer. Bridges
was on the all-Southern team every
year that he played college football,
and is without an equal in the South
at guard.
A large number of Savannahlans
will go down to Jacksonville to wit
ness the game.

ANNUAL DINNER
ST. ANDREW SOCIETY’S 154TH
ATTENDED BY ONE HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY-FIVE MEMBERS
AND GUESTS.
Hot Scotch and Haggis, Scotch
Speeches and Songs, the Piping ot
Scotch Airs by a Scot in Highland
Costume and Scotch Good Fellow
ship and Good Cheer Made the
Dinner One of the Most Enjoyable
In the Society’s History.

has done at every St. Andrew’s dinner
for the last five years.

The occasion was one of more than
ordinary interest. The assemblage was
a brilliant one. the speeches were both
characteristic and eloquent, the music
was patriotic and inspiring, even the
pipes, the menu was excellent, and
good cheer and fellowship prevailed
until the last lines of Auld Lang Syne
had been sung and brought the dinner
to an end.
The dining hall of the De Soto was
decorated with bamboo and vines, and
the tables were covered with flowers.
Wiegand’s Orchestra played during the
courses of the dinner, and between the
speeches patriotic songs were sung.

High Class Druggists
AND- OTHERS.
The better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity,
who devote their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and
purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians’ prescriptions and
scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but
always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines.
They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes
all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and
best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances.
The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits
conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest
reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of
Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they
are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest
remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full
name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package.
They know that in case3 of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and
of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or
over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as
Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction.
Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the
immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are
individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles
of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate
to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit Such preparations
sometimes have the name—“ Syrup of Figs”—or “Fig Syrup” and of some piratical concern,
or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of
the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations
should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations
they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes
off on a customer a preparation under the name of “Syrup of Figs” or “Fig Syrup,” which
does not bear ihe full name of the California Fig Syrup Cos. printed on the front of the package,
he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his
establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and
and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of
physicians’ prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness.
Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand
for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every
where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions
exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return
any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company—
California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the
article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of
druggists who will sell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonable prices.
in all of his acts that have been re
corded, and his attention to all the
little details of the daily life. All
of these distinctively Scottish traits
were humorously dwelt upon. -The dry
humor of the Scot was illustrated with
a dry humor worthy of a Scot
born in the land of the thistle. The
thriftiness and attention to detail
were illustrated by a series of stor
ies that touched the humor of the ban
queters and brought out hearty laugh
ter and generous applause. The de
sire for pre-eminence was shown and
then followed a brief enumeration of
the different stations, which the apostle
had been given in the different paint
ings of note. He closed with a splen
did tribute to the fidelity to his mas
ter and to his master’s cause that was
shown by the apostle and in this con
nection eulogized these characteristics
so prominent among Scotchmen, loyal
ty, fidelity, and a firm faith that in
the end the cause of right and justice
must prevail.
"The King,” all standing, was re

hall ring with “God Save the King."
Tile ■ ‘■-cxlilt-n t of tile United State*.
Col. James B. Quinn, division chief
of United States Engineers, responded
to the toast, “The President of the
United States.” The speaker handled
the subject in a masterly way. Only
the office was treated, and all person
alities were carefully avoided. In a
clear and succinct manner he brought
out the difficulties which always con
front the chief executive of the nation.
The candidate of one political party,
the target of the shafts of the opposi
tion, as soon as he is sworn into office
he must lay aside his political affilia
tions, must forget all save that he is
the representative of all the people of
the nation. Briefly. Col. Quinn com
mented on the problems that arise to
confront each executive and the care
ful manner in which he must approach
the solution of each one of them. In
closing the speaker exhorted all to re
member the difficulties surrounding the
President, the danger hovering about
him from the assassin, and to refrain
from harsh criticism of the man. The
mention of the name of William Mc-
Kinley brought a round of generous
aonlause.
Following the toast, Mr. W. T. Dix
on sang verse of "The Star Spangled
Banner," the entire assembly Joining
enthusiastically in the chorus.
“The Lund o’ Cake* and Bobble
Barn*.’’
To the toast "The Land o’ Cakes
and Bobbie Burns," Mr. H. W. Wit
cover responded in an eloquent and
polished effort. The sturdiness of
Scotch character was eulogized, the
faithfulness of the devotion to a cause
the land had made its own; the hero
ism that stood firm against all the
oppression of the monarchs of the
world; the deep influence of the sturdi
ness, thriftiness, the loyalty of Scot
tish character, all were brought out in
vivid word pictures. The toast
abounded in eloquent and- thrilling
prose-poems, eulogizing the character
of the Scot; paying tribute to the part
Scotland and her sons have played in
the history of the world; giving the
homage due to the great men of the
land, to the songs of Bqrns, and the
sword of Wallace. In rapid sketches
he pictured the deeds of her great
men on the field of battle, in the forum,
in pleadings for the cause of human
ity. He pictured the part the sous
of Scotland have played in resent
years, standing always leal-hearted
and undaunted for their homes, their
nation, and their God. The entire ad
dress was filled with word-paintings

of power, in striking similes and met
aphors, and in a prose-poetic wording
that held the assembly without the
slightest seeming effort. A generous
applause followed the conclusion of
the response.
Scottish Dance and Ballad.
Following Mr. Witcover’s response,
Mr. Donald Cameron, the piper who
had discoursed sweet music at appro
priate intervals throughout the even
ing, entertained the banqueters with
a characteristic Scotch dance.
Mr. John S. Banks then completely
captured the gathering with the beau
tiful Scottish ballad “Lassie Jean.”
Well-merited and generous applause
followed the solo, and it did not cease
until the well known singer had re
sponded with an encore, the number
selected being “Good-bye, Little Girl,
Good-bve.”
Our Sister Societies and Invited
Guests.
To the toast. “Our Sister Societies
and Invited Guests.” Rt. Rev. Benja
min J. Keiley, Bishop of Savannah, re
sponded. The keen, scintillating wit,
the dry, but rollicking humor, and the
swift play on words, that have made
Bishop Keiley a speaker always de
sired at public functions, character
ized the remarks of the distinguished
Savannahian. With rapier-like swift
ness and accuracy the thrusts of the
speaker’s wit struck in all directions,
yet the genial, kindly, warming, hu
mor healed all possible wounds ere the
wounded were aware of them.
The characteristic of touching light
ly on each subject and 'then flitting
swiftly from it to another marked the
response, a characteristic that always
makes a toast delightful, abounded
throughout. Stories with varied set
tings, hits at the bagpipe und the
plaid, scores on the shamrock and its
wearers, all classes, all peoples, and
all religions, fell under the speaker’s
wit, and though the reference to each
brought forth a hearty laugh and the
applause of appreciation, nothing was
said that could have in the least in
jured the feelings of even the most
sensitive. The response of Bishop
Keiley was one of the features of the
evening and the applause that followed
was well merited.
Mr. W. T. Dixon followed with a
rendition of "That Bonnie Lass of
Mine" that took well with the assem
bly and was vigorously applauded.
“Georain, the Stale We Live In."
Judge Samuel B. Adams followed,
after a selection ,by the piper, with a
response to the toast, “Georgia, the
State We Live In.’’ With the elo
quence that has made the speaker a
power in the courts, Judge Adams
spoke of the Georgia motto, "Justice,
Wisdom and Moderation.” In no un
certain terms he scored lynchlngs,
characterizing it as "the crimes of
crimes," and stamping the lyncher as
the brother of the anarchist and the
enemy of the law and of the state.
“Politically and ethnologioaliy," said
the speaker, “I am sound and ortho
dox according to the Southern pattern,
and to no man do I yield In my love
for Georgia.”
Then followed a eulogy, almost pas
sionate Jn its enthusiasm, of the laws
of Georgia and the Georgia courts. In
scathing words he denounced the
mob as cowards, condemned the spirit
which seeks to take the punishment of
the guilty out of the hands of the
tribunals of Justice, and closed with
an appeal to Georgians to stand for
the law and the administration of
the courts. In the appeal was all the
fervor of the eloquent attorney, all the
erudition of a Kenyon pleading for
Justice, all the argument of a Mar
shall, and yet, running through the
scathing denunciation of tho mobs of
Georgia and of the spirit of the lynch
er, was the love of a native Georgian
for his state and his state's honor, a
spirit that begged the true Georgian
to stand by his state and save It from
the disgrace that the passions of the
mob sought to heap upon it.
The address was learned, eloquent,
and teeming with the spirit of the pa
triot, and it justly drew forth hearty
applause.
Following this came the solo "Angus
McDonald," delightfully rendered by
Mr. George W. Bfckott.

“A’ the Bonnie lai antes.”
To that toast which reaches in its
very name the hearts of all, “A’ the
Bonnie Lassies," Rev. Charles H.
Strong: responded in his usual happy
manner. The subject was fully im
proved by the eloquent Savannnah rec
tor. The influence' of woman on his
tory of the world was briefly sketched.
Whether as Lorna Doone, Kathleen
Mavourneen, or the more modern Gib
son girl, she sways the masculine heart
and he goes forth in her name to con
quer odds that had been insurmount
able.
The incarnation of weakness and yet
the very element of strength itself,
Mr. Strong characterised her as the
most divine creation, the masterpiece,
the crowning element, of God's work.
"All the jewels of heaven,” he said,
"were robbed to make woman the most
brilliant, the most wonderful, the sub
limest work of an infinite intelligent."
Then followed a series of brilliant
word-paintings, veritable prose-poems,
sketching in rude outline and yet in
tender beauty that touched all hearts,
the history of each man, a history
common to the entire race. He pic
tured the boyhood sweetheart, the pas
sionate love of young manhood, and
the consummation in manhood's love,
takes to itself one woman from a uni
verse of women and calls her queen
of all he holds dear this side of the
grave, and bows in awe-struck won
der before the most divine thing on
earth, wifehood made sublime In moth
erhood. A beautiful tribute to woman
hood, wifehood and motherhood closed
the toast of the eloquent pastor, a
fitting climax to an evening of unmit
igated Dleasure.
It was 2 o’clock when “Auld Lang
Syne” was sung and the dinner, one
of the most enjoyable in the recent
history of the society, was ended. To
the fftewards, Messrs. L. G. Armstrong,
H. G. Strachan and Charles W. Saussy,
much of the success of the dinner was
due.
