From Charleston comes the news
that football rooters will journey Sa-.

a plan now being on foot to charter
the Planter, a boat which plys the wa
ters in the vicinity of Charleston, to
bring the rooters over.
Final announcement of the Charles
ton line up has been made, and will be
the same as that used in the Jack
sonville game. Cheney is at center
with a knee still suffering from a se
vere wrench in a recent game, accord
ing to the News and Courier. Chaney
and Sapp are at guards. Sullivan and
Smith at tackles, Sumter and Gunter
at halves, Tutweiler at quarter, and
Hanvey at fullback.
Will Be Line SmtiMhing.
This line up will present a game in
marked contrast to the one played here
Monday. When Charleston has the
ball the play is certain to be of that
order that has little interest for the
spectator, line smashing, when both
teams evolve into one grotesque heap
of arms and with one struggling ath
lete sometimes breaking off in front
for few yards gain with the ball.
Savannah's effort will be to make
speed tell against strength and weight.
Savannah’s average weight will be 162
pounds against Charleston’s 183 pounds
average. Whether the light team can
PRESIDENT BOYER IS DUE TO
ARRIVE TO DAY OR TO-MORROW
Has Already Prepared Schedule for Next Season
to Submit to Directors.
President C. W. Boyer of the South
Atlantic League is expected to arrive
in Savannah to-day or to-morrow, to
look into the matter of arranging a
park for next season and to look over
league matters generally.
Since he left here in October. Mr.
Boyer has been devoting his time to
his personal affairs at Hagerstown,
and to signing players for the Savan
nah club during the next season. He
completed the league schedule for the
coming season some time ago and will
submit it at the annual meeting to be
held some time in January.
In Jacksonville there seems to be
a spirit of dissatisfaction at everything
that is not done by the secretary of
the Jacksonville club. The latest howl
from the Florida metropolis is that a
schedule offered by Mr. Boyer will not
be accepted by them, and at their own
expense they are employing Mique
Finn to prepare a schedule to submit
at the annual meeting. From the spir
it which has heretofore been exhibit
ed by the Jacksonville management it
is presumed that should Mr. Boyer
and Mr. Finn happen to make sched
ules that were exactly alike Jackson
ville would again be in the market for
a schedule maker.
Boyer's Lust Sohednle.
So far no objection to the schedule
which President Boyer prepared last
season has been offered. That schedule
was approved by Jacksonville. No
schedule can be adopted unless by a
three-fourths vote of all the clubs.
It Is true that there were some allow

JUNIOR TEAMS WILL BATTLE AT
BOLTON PARK MONDAY MORNING
Charleston College and Columbias of Savannah
to Star the Ball.
In addition to the football game
Monday afternoon between the reg
ular Savannah and Charleston teams,
another game will be played at Bolton
Street Park Monday morning between
the Charleston College team, and the
Columbias, of Savannah. These teams
are composed of young men between
the ages of 15 and 18 years.
The Columbias are being coached by
Mr. Robert Williams of the Univer
sity of Virginia, who umpired Mon
day's game between Jacksonville and
Savannah, and who will umpire the
game between Charleston and Savan
nah Monday afternoon.

Charleston’s weight is evenly distrib
uted, not a man on the line up being
below 145 pounds and only one less
than 165.
According to the News and Courier
several hundred spectators will come
over to witness the contest and to take
all bets offered. Numbers of Charles
tonians, who witnessed the game be
tween Savannah and Jacksonville re
turned to Charleston and made the
statement that they believed Charles
ton would win Monday, but that it
would not be a walk over.
Yniirv Picks Charleston.
Since his return to Jacksonville Ho
gan Yancy has made a statement in
which he picks Charleston to win the
game Monday. Yancy looks for both
teams to score, but says that the
weight and endurance of the Charles
ton team will tell before the game is
over.
Capt. Cope and his men are still con
fident and are working like beavers
this week to have everything in per
fect shape 'before going on the field
Monday. The team was more badly
bruised than was at first supposed
after Monday’s game. To show what
the men went through. Cubbedge lost
six pounds during the game. Mclntire
lost five, Lansberg five, Harmon four
and others in proportion.
Wednesday night's practice was con
fined to light exercise to get the kinks
out of the men's muscles, but last night
the regular hard work was settled
down to, and there will be no let up
until the day of the game. The same
spirit which has always pervaded those
in the Blue and White line still exists
and if courage and perseverance will
win the game Savannah will again
triumph over the ancient enemy.
Seats Going Fust.
Over 500 seats have been disposed of
so far, and it is announced that the
sale at Israel's will positively be dis
continued at 12 o’clock on Monday.
Those who did not get their seats in
advance for the Jacksonville game
suffered serious inconveniences.
Mr. Israel announced last night that
his offer of a box of cigars to every
man who made a touchdown still holds
good in the Charleston gfme and he
hopes to give away at least six boxes.
The Charleston team is expected to
arrive some time Sunday, so as to
have a good rest before the game. It
will be quartered at the Pulaski
House.
necessary by the fact that the inter
ference of the Mercer baseball sched
ule with the regular dates of the Ma
con club made it impossible to make
a perfect schedule.
If negotiations that are now pending
go through, President Boyer will dis
pose of the Savannah Franchise, in
which event there is no doubt that
he would be elected president of the
league. President Carter of the Au
gusta club has already come boldly
forward and declared for Boyer wheth
er he disposes of the Savannah fran
chise or not. So far no outright op
position to Boyer has developed any
where but at Jacksonville. Even there
no charges have been made that he
was not the best president available,
or that his conduct last season was
such as could be criticised.
Made Efficient Official.
Personally, Mr. Boyer is not as popu
lar in Savannah as he might be, but
as an official at the head of a base
ball organization it would be a dif
ficult matter to find his equal at the
salary which the league can afford.
The chief cause of complaint, so far
as can be learned from Jacksonville,
is Mr. Boyer's interest in the Savan
nah club and <the alleged partiality
which he showed to this club. In Sa
vannah all the season the baseball
loving public complained that Mr. Boy
er leaned a little too far the other way
In trying to see that all clubs got what
was coming to them. The umpiring
staff was as good as the salaries al
lowed would command. Two of the
poorest on the staff have been signed in
the Southern League—Joe Burke and
Joe Black.
So far Billy Oyler and Lee Staley
are the only two youngsters to sign
with the Savannah club. Manager
Boyer has just announced, the signing
of a Pathfinder contract by these
youngsters, both very popular here.
The line up for the Columbias has
not yet been definitely settled, but
from the present outlook the men will
appear In the first half as follows:
Launey, full back; Mcßride, left half
back; Spencer, right half back; Cann,
quarterback; Clark, right end; Caro
lan or Beckman, left end; Taylor, right
tackle; Lodge, left tackle; McCarthy,
left guard: Jones, right guard, and
Ames, center.
Tickets for this game have been put
on sale in Charleston and Savannah,
and can be secured at Israel's pool
room. As the Savannah team hag
guaranteed the expenses of the vis
• itors they are hoping that a large
crowd will turn out to witness it.
Both elevens have been practicing hard
for the event.

MYERS NOW DENIES
THAT HE SAW SHOOTING.
gays Statement to Judge Twiggs
AVa* Misunderstood.
Mr. W. B. Myers, the Jacksonville
naval stores man whose name Judge
H. D. D. Twiggs sent to Attorney A.
Levy, counsel for Nan Patterson, as a
witness who saw the shooting, now de
nies that he ever stated he witnessed
the tragedy. Mr. Myers goes even fur
ther and says he was never in New
York in his life, though he states he
has alway r s been anxious to visit that
city.
Mr. Myers was seen in Jacksonville
yesterday by Mr. John H. Shivers of
this city, a gentleman who tvas pres
ent when he made his statement to
Judge Twiggs regarding the witnessing
of the Young shooting. Mr. Shivers
questioned the Jacksonville man about
the affair, and was surprised when the
latter denied having witnessed it.
“I remember distinctly," said Mr.
Myers, "of talking with you and Judge
Twiggs in Savannah, and the circum
stances under which we met. I never
said, however, that I witnessed the
shooting of Caesar Young, nor did I
even so much as intimate that I knew
anything about it. I had never been
in New York in my life, and could not
have made such a statement. I am
very sorry I was misunderstood. It
does seem somewhat strange that both
you and my friend, Judge Twiggs,
should have understood me to say the
same thing, but I am positive I never
told any such story.”
This turn in the affair puts a differ
ent light on the matter. Opinion is di
vided as to just how to take the two
statements of Mr. Myers. It seems in
credible that both Judge Twiggs and
Mr. Shivers should have both misun
derstood the Jacksonville man to make
a statement exactly contrary to that
which he claims he made.
THIEVES RAIDED
TIFTON STORES.
Got Awy With n Wagon Goad ot
Goods.
Tifton, Ga., Dec. 29.—Two male shop
lifters were caught in Tifton last night.
Soon after supper Mr. I. W. Bowen of
the firm of I. W. Bowen & Bro., no
ticed two white men loafing In his
store. He remembered that they had
been around town for several days,
and their actions were a little sus
picious. As they walked out he saw
that each had large bundles concealed
under their coats. He called Chief
Bowen's attention to them and the
men were watched. They were seen to
go behind the store of Churchwell
Bros., and into the new E. P. Bowen
building. Later, one of them, a small
man, named Lon Martin, was arrested
as he was in the act of putting some
goods into a one-horse wagon belong
ing to B. K. Fort, a farmer, who lives
about five miles from town.
When arrested Martin had a bolt of
checks, a lady's skirt and some other
goods concealed under his coat and a
lot of spool thread in his pocket. He
said that his companion, named Silas
Smith, had stolen the goods and asked
him to carry them to the wagon.
After the arrest several mechants re
membered that the men had been loaf
ing around their stores for several
days, and this morning a party with a
search warrant visited the house in
which the men lived, a small log house
on the Tift-Snow place, about a mile
and a half from town. Here a wagon
load of goods were found. Cloth, cloth
ing, shoes, hats, skirts, shirts and a
variety of notions and novelty goods.
The merchants who have so far iden
tified goods as from their stocks are
Bowen & Bro., Shapire & Cos., Duncan
& Stubbs, Churchwell Bros., and R. N.
Poston & Cos. Smith and Martin were
locked up, and a warrant was sworn
out against Fort. The men are in jail
awaiting a hearing.
BY WATER*AND RAIL
The steamship Frederick left yester
day for Baltimore with eighteen first
class passengers.
Mr. A. W, Towsiey, assistant to the
president of the Seaboard, with head
quarters in Portsmouth, Va., was in
the city yesterday.
Mr. S. L. Parrott, district passenger
agent of the 'Frisco system, with head
quarters in Atlanta, called at the rail
road offices yesterday.
Mr. William B. Clements, traveling
passenger agent cf the Ocean Steam
ship Company, has returned from
Portsmouth. Va.
The New Orleans Is due to arrive this
morning with twenty-two first-class
passengers.
Greater regularity attended the ar
rival of the trains at the Union Sta
tion yesterday. The expected delay by
reason of storms East did not mate
rialize. and the officials think that with
the passing of the holidays the trains
will begin to arrive on better time.
On Jan. 4 and 5 the Atlantic Coast
Line will run a personally conducted
excursion to Cuba from points along
the system. To properly get this ex
ceptional opportunity before the pub

RAILWAY BUILDING IN 1904
FELL OFF 25 PER CENT .
The Total Mileage of Railroads in the United
States Now 212,000 Miles.
Railway 'building in the United
States for 1904, according to the Rail
way Age, shows a falling off of about
25 per cent, compar ed with 1903, when
5.786 miles of new road were complet
ed. Official returns foT the current
year, not yet complete, show that 4,168
miles of first track have been laid since
Jan. 1 last on 299 miles in forty-three
states and territories. That there would
be a decrease in new mileage this year
was a foregone conclusion on account
of the general business situation.
There is a large amount of new work
projected, much of which is still await
ing financing. The revival of business,
however, since the presidential election
has given an impetus to railway build
ing which promises greater activity in
1905. While the*day of parallel rail
road - building is practically over, there
are many extensions and feeders pro
jected which are needed to develop new
territory, and much important work
designed to shorten main lines and re
duce grades and curves is planned.
In Georgia 115 miles of new road was

Chancellor Hill's Address.
Jacksonville. Fla., Dec. 29.—The
Southern Educational Association and
the Florida State Teachers' Associa
tion met to-night in Joint session at
the Duval Opera House. Walter B.
Hill, president of the Southern Educa
tional Association and chancellor of
the University of Georgia, called the
joint convention to order, and after
prayer Rev. W. A. Hobson, an
nounced that Capt. George M. Lynch,
president of the Florida State Teachers’
Association and assistant commandant
of the East Florida Military Institute,
would preside.
William N. Sheats, state superintend
ent of public instruction, delivered the
address of welcome in behalf of the
state. Mr. Sheats spoke of the remark
able advancement of Florida in educa
tional lines since 18S0. He quoted sta
tistics which showed in that year that
the total enrollment of the public
schools approximated 39,000, with an
average attendance of 27,000, and an
annual expenditure of $114,000, while at
present the attendance is 123,000 out
of a total of 186,000. children of school
age, and the average attendance is
84,000, and the amount appropriated
for the current year is $1,078,000.
Gavel for Lynch,
After Mr. Sheats had finished his
speech, Cadet Baxter of the East Flori
da Seminary presented President
Lyn-ch with a gavel.
Mrs. Alexander Sabal favored the au
dience with a solo and D. U. Fletcher
delivered an address of welcome in be
half of the city.
O. B. Martin, superintendent of pub
lic Instruction of South Carolina, de
livered a humorous reply to the ad
dresses of welcome, after which R. B.
Fulton, chancellor of the University of
Mississippi, read the report of the
Committee on Aims and Objects of the
Association, of which he is chairman.
The proceedings of the first night
sessions of the associations closed with
the addresses of their presidents.
President Hill devoted his attention
to a discussion of the Morrill educa
tional bill and compared it to the Blair
bill, advocating federal aid for educa
tion, especially as applied to higher In
stitutions. He said;
The Morrill Bill v*. the Blair BUI.
"In December, 1903, at the meeting of
this association in Atlanta. I had the
honor to deliver an address In which
federal aid in education was discussed.
The line of thought was then limited
to the proposition that the causes of
the present educational problem in the
South, si*., slavery, its abolition and
the Inadequacy of the Southern treas
uries, were causes national in their ori
gin, influence and operation, and that
for these reasons the South has an In
disputable right to have this burden
shared by the nation.
"On Feb. 12, 1904, President Eliot, In
an address, delivered in New York,
strongly asserted the same right; and
on Feb. 23, 1904, Dr. Charles W. Dab
ney, in an address in Atlanta at the
National Educational Association, ad
vocated the same view. These utter
ances were taken in some quarters as
suggesting a revival of the Blair bill
and the idea of federal aid in educa
tion has been scouted as anew and
startling proposition. The fact is just
the reverse. Federal aid to education
has been the settled policy ofthe coun
try for forty-one years. Its constitu
tionality and its wisdom have been
practically foreclosed by this early
adoption and long acquiescence. The
original measure has been twice sup
plemented and strengthened by na
tional legislation. This Jeglsiation may
be generally described under the term
the Morrill bill. The original bill was
Introduced by Senator Morrill and be

completed by 9 lines; in Florida 51
miles by 7 lines, and in South Caro
lina 7 miles by 2 lines. Missouri leads,
with 372 miles of new line, and Texas
is second, with 312 miles. Six other
States show over 200 miles each, as
follows: Minnesota, 271 miles; West
Virginia, 237 miles; Mississippi, 229
miles; Pennsylvania, 220 miles; Ne
vada, 215 miles, and California, 201
miles; while Illinois is near the 200-
mile mark, with 196 H miles.
It is apparent that the Southern and
Southwestern states are still the scenes
of greatest activity. The states west
of the Mississippi river have added 2,-
446 miles and the states south of the
Ohio and east of the Mississippi 1,021
miles, making a total of 3,467 miles.
The states in which no new mileage
is reported are: New Hampshire, Ver
mont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, Delaware and Nebraska.
According to the last edition of
Poor’s Manual, the railway mileage of
the United States at the close of 1903
was 207,784 miles. The addition of the
track laid during the past year makes
the total main line mileage of the
country in round numbers 212,000 miles.
amendment was adopted in 1890. The
Hatch act of 1887 is practically but an
amendment or supplement to the Mor
rill bill, for the original bill contained
a provision for investigation and ex
perimental farms.
I pon Well Defined Principles.
“Not only has federal aid to edu
cation been therefore recognized as a
national policy for nearly a half cen
tury, but the analysis of the acts
above stated showed that it has pro
ceeded upon well defined and satisfac
tory principles, which may be summed
up as follows: (1) National aid is con
ditioned on response or contribution
by the states, such as furnishing and
repairing of buildings: (2) State con
trol in management is recognized, the
distribution being through local ma
chinery. (3) Visitorial power is retain
ed in the federal government in the
requirements for reports and the res
ervation of the right to examine dis
bursements. (4) Separation of the
races is accepted, but equal provisions
made for both. (5) The nature of the
education provided is democratic, the
emphasis being placed on agricultural
and industrial education. (6) Equal
ity of need is recognized as the basis
for distribution. From this principle
it is a just corollary that in those
sections where industrial and agricul
tural educations are most needed, the
distribution should be in like propor
tion.
How the Morrill Bill Started.
“The Morrill bill began with colle
giate education. This was well, be
cause the movement in education has
always been from above downward,
and for the further reason that when
the Morrill bill was first passed there
was riot In existence any large body of
scientific knowledge relating to agri
cultural and industrial education, and
the knowledge in existence had not
then been reduced to pedagogic form.
This is no longer true, and the time has
now come for the extension of the pro
visions of the Morrill bill to the sec
ondary and primary school, so that
all the people of all the states may re
ceive more directly and immediately
the benefit of this national fund. In
such extension, the principles above
mentioned would be observed. The
trustees and faculties of the agricul
tural and mechanical colleges would
be the medium through which the en
largement would be carried out. The
President in his message recently re
ferred to the Department of Agricul
ture ‘as a faculty of 2,000 experts.’
The work of these experts and of the
colleges and experiment stations in all
the important literature. This however,
is necessarily stated in scientific
terms. The people will not get the
immediate and direct benefit of it un
less it is brought to their doors—pop
ularized and reduced to general com
prehension by the work of trained
teachers and specialists. The chief
difficulty in the way at present is in
the want of teachers. Provision might
be made for this by organizing in each
college of agriculture and industrial
arts a normal department. Teachers
trained so to disseminate in the rural
districts the results of scientific in
vestigation in the state colleges, ex
periment stations and the national
Department of Agriculture might
itinerate, as they are doing in Can
ada under the provisions of the Mc-
Donald gift. If we can anticipate a
time when the provisions of this wise
national legislation have been extend
ed from the college grade into the sec
ondary and primary grades we may
confidently look forward to a future
when the prophecy will be realized
that ’the waste places will be made
glad and the desert blossom as the
rose '' ” „ . ,
Lynch Arraign* Rowdyism.
The most Interesting and striking
feature in the address of Capt. Lynch
was his severe arraignment of rowdy
ism in colleges and universities. Capt.
Lvnch said in part:
“It is the sheerest folly to appeal to
business men and tax payers in the
name of sentiment and affection un
til we can show them that we have
an honest, straightforward, practical
plan of making honorable self-support
ing, intelligent citizens. They have
not the time nor the desire to enter
into scientific researches and discover
ies of the different parts of a boy’s
mental machinery. The plain, blunt,
interesting question to them is:
'Do you know how to manage that
mysterious mechanism so as to make
it turn out a solid, substantial pro
duct.’
"Answer this question by your school
work. Let your pupils reflect in their
nature and dally life subordination to
law and authority; habits of industry:
perseverance and persistent determina
tion; the love of whatever beautifies
and expands 'the character; regard for
the rights of others—in a word, make
them many men and womanly women,
and nothing on earth can defeat your
claims for recognition."

—Any New York woman would be
read out of the Four Hundred should
she have anything to do with “trade”
while at home, but when they go
abroad they easily overlook such be
havior on the part of their titled sis
ters. Just at present Gotham is
chuckling over the experience of a
fashionable matron of that city while
in London recently. She is of the utra
exclusive. While in the British capi
tal she wished greatly for presentation
to the Duchess of Abercorn. who sells
butter, cream and eggs, but found it
impossible to win the goal of her am
bition, the Duchess calmly declining
the honor.
—Miss Ascum—"Do you know, I often
wonder why a ship has to weigh its
anchor every time It leaves port?”
Mr. Dumley—“Why—er—the weight is
constantly changing, you know, be
cause of the —er—binnacles and things
that accumulate on the anchor."—
