SAVANNAH'S MOUTH WATERS FOR RUM I M' ' * Vessel Ca s With 100,000 *W^llofis of the Demon ?i ;-1 ,M W V : Aboard. ? ' Jh'tvi . >.s . A Thfclr v i s cbtisKibilibl^ excitement ye:-te:\.i..v ,..;ernovii when it wit.* leaincd tl.o steamship Arukaka# which clocked at uie Churchi.l L.ne sl.p, had iu her hoid 100,000 gallon.* of rurti, valued probably at $500,000, says The Savannah Morning News According to the ship's papers she curries only a partial cargo and will load cotton here for Liverpool. Hawever, one wit casually remarked that a ship with 100,000-gallons of ru.;. aboard was pretty nearly full. Also it might be wondered how the good ship managed to negotiate the channel, ana aiso again how she will find her way to Liverpool with tfii that -inn ahrr.ivl. Then there are some very important personages, who will endeavor t*. see that the rum stays aboard for 100.000 ga lor.s of rum lying just on the edge of u d y, dry town is indeed a sore temptaiton. So sore in fact that yesterday Capt. Uiley, not caring to take any chances, took bond instead with the custom house at the rate of $2.00 per gallon, which totals the sum of $260,000. This is done to insure the governmental authorities the rum will stay on board the s". * . until after the Arakaka sails , and the custom house men are rather squeamish about it. It is estimated at the present prices in Europe the partial cargo ot' rum is worth $.">00,000. Chief of Police Meldrim was on the job shortly after the boat docked and it was feared lor a time that the entire drayage system of Savannah might be called into service by the police to cart the rum to the little red building- just back of the police station, where so much booze has gone before. Hut Chief Meldrim discovered Capt. Riley had prepared himself for such emergencies and had taken out the large bond. Chief Meldrim also looked up the law on the interstate shipment of liquor and said last night that shipments of liquor consigned to some place out of the State where prohibition laws were not in effect could be taken from ships here and forwarded to its destination. He intimated, however that if such a procedure should come to pass the police would have watchful eye on the stevedores to see that all the liquor so consigned went through the State and did not linger here. . mi. i * - - - - ine Dig snipment ot rum, which is one of the largest probably that has ever lingered at this port, came from Georgetown, British Guinea, which is in South America. As only a partial cargo could be obtained at that port the Arakaka came here to load up with cotton for Liverpool. Speculation is rife concerning what may happen to the Arakaka if she should meet up with a German submarine on her way to Liverpool, or rather what may happen to the ocean in those parts should she meet up with the submarine and the said 100,000 gallons of rum be filtered trickling through the torpedo holes into the ocean. Father Neptune might get a wonderful jag on. Anyway no one in Savannah will tage a Bacchanalian flight because the rum happens to be lying alongside the Churchill Line slip. There are too many reasons why it will remain there until the ship is ready to leave port. There will be many sighs of regret when the Arakaka departs from hence. o NOTICE.

CARNIVAL SHOWS FOR COUNTY FAIR i Herbert's Greater Shows came into l/^i * ^ 1 ^onway last Sunday evening, the special train arriving here about ? o'clock in order to unload early or. Monday morning for the County Fair. These shows are the same that had been engaged for the fair at Marion, and spent last week in that town. An idea of the size and number of these carnival shows may be gained from the fact that it took a train of ten cars to hold the people and their equipment, including the horses for the wild west shows, the Me^rv-sro-round. and the various? smaller appliances used in this business. The men and women connected with it number about 150. It was with some difficulty that rooms were secured for all of the various classes of these people on Sunday night. The shows began moving their things to the Fair grounds early Monday morning, and their tents were soon up in readiness for operations by Monday night. This aggregation is one of the cleanest and best shows of its kind on the road at this time. The manager has the appearance of clean and square business methods in conducting the shows.

A suitoblr stand was prepared in thohfair building and at 1 o'clock on Tuesday the Governor addressed the people making an eloquent speech to a large and attentive crowd. Mr. E. j. Watson, commissioner of agriculture who was to have been here with the governor found it impossible to keep the engagement. o | AT HOTEL GRACE. Among the late arrivals at Hotel Grace: H. P.

MORE MEN THAN WOMEN HAVE APPENDICITIS Surgeons state men are slightly . more subject to appendicitis than women. Conway people should know that a few doses of simple buckthorn ? ? DarK, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Adler-i-ka, often relieve or prevent appendicitis. This mixture removes such surprising foul matter that ONE SPOONFUL relieves almost ANY CASE constipation, sour stomach or gas. The INSTANT, easy action of Adler-i-ka is surprising.
