CANDIDATES AT THE MASS MEET
INGS WILL PLEASE RESIGN.
Mr. Charlton Will Resign, and has
Already Declared Himself Not
Elected—Because the Conference
Agreement Authorizes Him to Call
the Primary the Old Committee is
Def unct—Th i nks all the Recent Can -
didates Will Resign, and if They do
Not it Will be a Knotty Case.
Chairman Charlton of the democratic exe
cutive committee will order a general primary
for July 10.
This is the decision that he reached this
morning. He was seen at his office by a Daily
Dispatch man, and talked pleasantly and
freely, which is one of his traits of character,
answering all interrogations that were pro
pounded.
Mr. Charlton was asked if he intended to
issue a call for a primary next month, and he
replied that that is his intention. He was next
asked if he would require the resignation of
all the gentlemen who offered for election,
district committeemen as well as committee
men at large.
WILL BE NO KICK.
“Yes, sir,l will request all the gentlemen to
resign, and I have every reason to believe that
nobody will make any objection,” said he.
“Mr. Charlton, do you consider the old
executive committee a defunct body?” asked
the reporter.
“I do think so. The committee were elected
to serve until their predecessors were elected,
and consequently they are no longer the execu
tive committee,” was Mr. Charlton’s reply/
Mr. Charlton was then reminded that no
body had been elected.
THE RESOLUTION RESPONSIBLE.
To this he replied: "But the resolution un
der which the general primary is to be held,
and which was indorsed by the political clubs,
says that the chairman of the party shall order
a primary, hence the committee is no longer a
committee.”
Mr. Charlton said that in the event of any
gentleman, who thought he was elected, re
fusing to resign.it would prove a knotty ques
tion,which could only be decided when made
an issue.
HE HAS RESIGNED.
Mr. Charlton certainly holds an unique
position, to say the least of it, as he is chair
man of a committee that he claims has no ex
istence at all, and was also, and may still be,
a candidate for committeeman at large.
“To whom will you tender your resigna
tion?” asked The Daily Dispatch.
“I will tender my resignation to myself,”
said Mr. Charlton with a smile, after which he
added, “I have declared myself not elected,”
and the chairman of the Democratic party
laughed.
The recent letter from the judge of awards
on baking powders at the Chicago World’s
fair, exposing the fraudulent claim of a
western house that its baking powder had
received the highest award for strength,
purity, excellence, etc , is a scathing rebuke
to those manufacturers of cheap baking pow
ders who have no regard for the truth, but
habitually seek, in their public announce
ments, to deceive consumers. The judge of
awards states that no such awaid was given
to the Chicago concern, and has notified it
that it must cease publishing his name in
connection with its false statements.
A Savannah Naval Cadet.
Rockwell Davis, a Savannah cadet at the
Annapolis Naval Academy, has finished his
course at tue academy and a like term at sea
and can now accept a position as midship
man in the navy, if there is a vacency, if he
so desires. If there is no vacancy, he will be
entitled to SI,OOO to enable him to go into a
business or profession, and he will also be
entitled to an honorable discharge from the
navy.
Mr. Davis will come south on a furlough
during the summer, and will be welcomed by
his many friends hero and at Atlanta, as he
expects to visit there before coming to this
city.
Valuable Helles.
Mr. E. Schmidt, treasurer of the City and
Suburban railway, has in his possession a
thirty dollar bill issued by the state of Georgia
in May, 1778. It was printed in Savannah
by W. Lancaster, and numbered 5175. The
bill bears the signature of several persons,
among whom are R. Wylly and N. Wade.
Mr. Schmidt has another relic in the shape
of a silver dime, and was enclosed in an en
velope bearing the Tollowing inscription :
“No. 54 ; Julia Domna, died of hunger, 217,
A. D.”
A World's Fair Honor.
The attention of The Daily Dispatch readers
is called to the handsome full-page advertise
ment of the Price Baking Powder Company,
w hich appears in this issue. This well-known
company may well feel proud of its success,
for it carried away from the World’s Fair the
highest award for leavening power, keeping
qualities and the general excellence of its bak
ing powder.
Go to Macon and Atlanta via the Savan
nah, Florida and Western and East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia; splendid connection.

Especial attention is called to the announce

HE DOES AWAY WITH FURNITURE
AND STOCK.
Mr. Kavanaugh Tells His Colored Ser

He Carries Out His Instructions and
Keeps the Proceeds—Fine Cows Dis

hind the Bars.
Zeke General, a negro who bad been in
the employ of Mr. John Kavanaugh when
that gentleman resided at Abercorn and
Gwinnett streets, was arrested to-day on a
warrant sworn out before Justice Patterson
charging him with larceny after trust. Zeke
is charged with having stolen goods to the
amount of $275, the date of the larceny
going as far back as 1892. General has
been a trusted servant of the Kavanaugh
family for years past and no member of it
for one moment questioned his honesty.
LEFT HIM IN CHARGE.
In the summer of 181)2 Mr. Kavanaugh,
whose health was bad, was advised by his
family physician to go to North Carolina
This, of course, caused the breaking up of
the Kavanaugh household. Mr. Kavanaugh
at that time was living in the Roberts’ hou-e,
which faces on Reynolds square. Mr. J. S.
Harrison, the well-known stenographer, was
rooming in the house at the time, and’ Mr.
Kavanaugh notified Mr. Harrison who was
out of the city at the time, that he was go
ing away and that he had better get his
trunk.
MR. HARRISON’S TRUNK.
Mr. Harrison, however, did not get his
trunk before the Kavanaughs left so. North
Carolina. Here’s where the story grows in«
teresting. Zeke General was left in charge of
all the household effects of the Kavannighs,
with instructions to sell them at a stipulated
price, a copy of which was furnished him, it
being the intention of Mr. Kavanaugh to take
up his permanent residence in North Caro
lina. His health improved sc much, tl 0 rgh,
that he decided to return tc Savannah, and
JlAieturn in February of this year.
NEARLY EVErTtHHW( GONE.
When Mr. Kavanaugh and his family re
turned they immediately proceeded to refur
nish their house. But there was little to start
this work, as nearly everything that had been
left in General’s care was missing, as also was
Zeke. Here are some of the articles left in
Zeke’s charge which have disappeared: A
lounge, refrigerator, valuable Boyton range,
perfectly new gas stove, 31 gas shades, two
baby carriages and two Jersey cows.
COULD NOT SETTLE.
Mr. Kavanaugh sent for General and asked
for a settlement, which, however, Zeke was
not prepared to make, as he would give no
account of the disposition of the things en
trusted to his care. When he was cornered
and threatened with arrest, General, in an en
deavor to hide his rascality, told one of the
worst cock-and-bull stories on record. He
said that a man came for Mr. Harrison’s trunk
and gave him a letter, taking the trunk off in
a wagon with “for hire” on it,but Zeke could
not show the letter.
SOLD THE COWS.
This yarn did not work,and Mr. Harrison,
whom the Kavanaughs thought had I.is
trunk long ago, had General arrested, but
subsequently released him. The two cows
were supposed to have been on a place
owned by General’s father, near the Mov
nello place, on the Ogeechee river. Zeke
was asked to bring, he cows to the city
but he failed to do so. Then he told aii
another yarn. He claimed to have sold the
31 gas shades to a man named Sanders on
West Broad street.
SENT TO JAIL.
Sanders, alter buying the shades and having
them delivered to him, moved away, General
says, and he was in the soup to the extent ot
’ s3l, the price Mr. Kavanaugh placed them at.
It became evident that General was playing a
deep game and Mrs. Kavanaugh had a war
rant sworn out for his arrest Officer Lilien
thal captured General on Broughton street this
morning, and he admitted that he sold the.
cows, so officer Lilienthal says. General was
1 sent to jail.
Macon To Stay In,

Closkey this morning from President Nick fin

account of this but will be materially

A Baby In a Newer.
The decomposed body of a white baby was
found in a sewer at Anderson and Barnard
streets yesterday. A rope was around the
neck and the body was covered with rocks
and dirt. It is evidently a case o( murder, and
the police are at work to-day trying to un
ravel the mystery. The baby had two teeth
and was well developed.
