POLITICS WARMING UP.
PETITIONS CIRCULATED IN FAVOR
OF THE REGISTRATION BILL.
Tboea Who Oppose tbs BUI Also Want
a Hearing Before Gov. Nortben.
MaJ. Schwarz Not a Candidate—Bar*
mon, McDonough and Falllgant Can
Fight It Out, Unless a Dark Horse
Arrives—Aldermanlc Timber Scarce.
Politics are warming up somewhat, or
polities is warming up, just a* the reader
prefers. The plural term would appear to
be preferable in view of the mixed up and
diversified state of politics which now pre
vails.
With eounoil discussing eleotion bills snd
the mayoralty question looming up more
distinctly every day, while Russell and
anti-Russell factions are fighting over the
county election and slates of oounty com
missioners are made and broken every day.
It may be fairly said that politloi, plural ly
■peaking, are getting warm.
COUNCIL AND THE REGISTRATION LAW.
The proposed registration law and the
action of the council thereon was much dis
cussed among the politicians and citizens gen
erally yesterday. Of coarse, the politicians
are divided Into two classes on the subject,
one favoring it and the other opposing.
Those who favor the biU were not In a mood
to let their opponents have everything their
own way and set about yesterday morning
to get up a petition to Gov. Nortben to sign
the bill. The petition could not be boated
by a Moenino News reporter, but it is said
to have bad numerous signatures from all
classes of people. Toe fact that the petition
was Ming gotten up was telegraphed to the
governor and he was asked to reserve bis
decision until the petition coaid be sant to
him.
The provisions of the bill are not very
familiar to most people, but one of ltt chief
provisions is in reference to the hours of
registration. As is well known the hours
under the present law are from 9 a m. to 2
p. m., with tsro Saturday nig: u set apart
for the benefit of workingmen. The new law
proposes to give from 9 a m. to 2p. m., as
at present and from 8 a m. to 8 p. m.
VIEWS or THE OPPOSITION.
Those who oppose Ice bill contend that
the present lew u amply sufllaient for ell
purposes, end if it is e good lew they see no
reason why it should be changed. They
challenge those who favor the proped
law to thow wherein the workingmen ie
discriminated against. That point was
raised in council by Alderman
McGuire. Mr. Charlton asked him csfald
he make a specific stetement as to whether
any workingman had been discriminated
against by the present ls and Mr. Mo-
Goire said that he could not.
It appears from what the opponents of
ths new registration lew say that it was not
devised so mnob for the workingmeu as
pretended, but rather to help out a political
faction, it is charged that the keeping
open of the books at night Is to get in some
dark work. In fact, tnal statement was
made in council by Alderman Charlton. Be
this as it may, the fact ie that one faction,
as a rule, favor the change, while the other
oppose* IC.
This la really the bottom of the whole
fight, though ou the lurfeoe nothing of the
kd i* eeoa. Those who favor the bill deny
that their lntentiooe are not of the purest
kind, but contend that the bill is a good
one In many particulars, especially that
feature of it which prevent* th* ballot*
from being destroyed. It i* charged that
thi* has beea done, and that in case of ac>y
dissatisfaction it had been Impossible to ar
rive at a proper conclusion owing to tbs
faot that tbs ballots bad been destroyed.
ATTENTION OF VOTBRB ATTRACTED.
The action of oounoll in tending a com
mittee to oppose the bill was the first thing
that called the bill te the attention of voters
generally who had given but little, if any,
thought to the question. Now that it has
been the cause of arraying the two factious
against each other more prominently, every
body will await with interest tbs govarnor’a
decision in the matter.
MAJ. SCHWARZ OUT OF IT.
Maj. Schwarz may fairly be considered
out of the raoe. In faot, it has been quietly
understood among his frisnda for sevsral
days that Maj. Hchwara had given up the
idea of making the race. He so announced
to a friend last night. This leaves the field
to Alderman Harmon aad Dr. Falligant,
both of whom have rolled up their sleeves
and are working at hard as possible for the
prise, and probably Mayor McDonough.
There it very little doubt but what
Mayor MoDonough will be a candidate
for re-eleotion. It has been sug
gested that be might step
aside at the last moment to give way to
Alderman Charlton, who would make the
race as representing the same principles as
those upheld by Mayor McDonough. The
Sreseut indications are, however, that
layor MoDonough will make the race him
self. There are various rumors of dark
horses, but nothing definite as yet.
WHO SCHWARZ FAVORS.
The greater portion of Mayor Bohwarz’a
following is claimed bv Dr. Falligant, but
this of oourse will be disputed. Mayor Mc-
Donough, it is said by some, has made
strenuous efforts to get Maj. Boh wars out of
the race, while on the other hand others
claim that be made every effort
to bring him out as a candidate. Alder
man Harmon and his supporters wers un
mistakably anxious to eliminate Maj.
Schwars as a possible candidate for the
mayoralty. Maj. Schwarz should congrat
ulate himself on being able to make so
many people happy.
BOHR TALK ABOUT ALDERMEN.
Ho new candidates are heard of for
county commissioners, and material for
aldermen is coming forward slowly. It
must be remembered that the next board will
eontain six to eight and perhaps nine new
tUdermen. None of the present board seem
particularly anxious for re-election to the
position, a rather unusual state of affairs
Alderman Mills is a mayorial possibility
and is not particularly anxious about being
re-elected as aldermun, though if Mayor
McDonough is a candidate for re-eleotion
Mr. Mills’ name will be on his ticket.
Alderman Haines does not desire a re
eleotion, and even attempted to resign from
the present board. He is mentioned for
county commissioner. Alderman Bailey is
a candidate for the city court clerkship and
will probably be successful. Alderman
Conn is not positive as to wbat he will do,
but will probably stand for re-election.
OUR ASPIRINO ALDERMEN.
Alderman Carson is a candidate for
county commissioner, and may be consid
ered as certain of electlou.
Alderman Haines is a candidate for post
master, Alderman Harmon is a candidate
for mayor and 'Alderman Myers is not a
candidate for anything. Alderman Myers
has done good service on the board, but he
says there it too muoh politics in it for him.
Alderman McUuire it not a candidate for
re-election, but Alderman O’Brien, from
the First, and Alderman Retd, from the
Fourth district, are candidates.
Alderman Charlton may step Into Mayor
McDouough’s shoes, or, if the mayor is a
candidate for re-election, he will be on his
ticket.
The present councilmen have served their
apprenticeship in the public service and
are now awniting the invitation * ‘good and
faithful servants, step up higher.” Most of
them are already candidates for promo
•loo of on® kind or othor.
At the outside only five members of the
present board will be candidates for re
election.
TWO or THE NEXT BOARD.
William Kehoe it mentioned as a good
man to represent the Fourth district, and
he is wllUug to make the raoe is sure of
election.
Capt. Thomas Screven is mentioned as a
man who would receive the support of both
the Third and Fourth districts, and who
would prove satisfactory to both. Capt
Screven has been urged to allow his name
to be used, but baa not yet given bis con
sent. Gaps. Screven is popular with both
young and old, and his vote would be
among the highest cash
John F. Lube will probably be elected an
aldertnan from the First district.
No other names have been prominently
mentioned as yet.
Alderman Dixon, the latest addition to
the board, may he counted upon as a mem*
her of the next board.
THE TRAVEL SOUTHWARD.
The Botela in Savannah Beginning to
Fill Up Already.
Travel from the north to Florida and
other southern winter retorts has set in in
earnest now. Every train brings in its
crowd of northerners. fleeing from the cold
to the more gentle and sunny weather in
this Motion. While a larger proportion of
them have Florida as their objective potnt
still many stop in Savannah, not ooly to
take a look around the city, but some oome
to spend the winter. It sometimes happens
that a tourist with the intention of going to
Florida decides to spend the winter here
after so joying for a day or two the un
rivaled climate of this oity.
The hotels are beginning to feel the re
sult of this travel. This Is especially the
cose with the De Soto. That hotel is the
stopping point of many of the wealthier
class of these travelers, and It was stated
there yesterday that more people had corns
in that day than any prsvlous day of ths
season. This is taken as an omen of much
heavier busmen, later In the season, and all
information obtainable on the subjeol
seems to justify the belief.
WAITING FOR MB. WADLEY.
Everything Quiet and Serene Among
the Railway Operators.
Another week has oome and gone and still
there has been no strike on the Central rail
road, and from present appearances there is
not likely to be. Mr. Tobie of the telegra
phers feels confident of having an amicable
adjustment of the operators’ grievances as
soon as Mr. Wadley returns. He expresses
himself as being confident that no strike of
the operators will take plaoe. In the mean
time the situation is exaotly the same as it
was a week ago. The operators are simply
waiting for ilr. Wedley to return in order
to have a conference. It is not definitely
known when the latter will oome back to
Savannah, but it is reported that he will be
here Monday. Until he dose oome there
will be uo new developments hs far at the
operators are concerned. None of the com
mittee exoept one has received official notice
of bis deoapitatlon and that his place bad
already been filled. The discharge of tbe*e
men will probably cause more friotlon than
anything else.
INSURANCE RATES.
Progress of the Work of the Associa
tion's Agent.
The queetion of fire insurance rates in
this city is one in whioh everybody ie Inter
ested, especially property owners. The
Southeastern Tariff Association controls
these rates, and one of toe representatives,
Mr. Williams, has been in the oity for the
past few weeks rating the different build
ings. Mr. Williams says that he has about
oompleted Ray. Ht. Juliau, Congress and
Bryan streets, but be does not expeot to fin
ish until about Christmas. The ratings will
not, however, be made publio until some
time in January. Until that time he it not
at liberty to say whether they have been
raised or lowered, or give out any informa
tion on the subject Mr. Williams, in in
specting buildings, makes suggestions to the
owners os to oertain alterations which would
baveeffeoton the rating, but the owners
ere at liberty to follow or reject his sugges
tions as they may see fit.
A BOLD SNEAK THIBF.
Ee Steals an Overcoat From a Oourt
House Official.
It seems somewhat straDge that thle es
■hould ply their trade in the oourt house,
the very plaoe where justice is meted out to
people of that olase, but they will some
times invade even tbe temple of juttioe.
Deputy Clerk White, of tbe oity court bad
an experience with a thief yesterday. He
left the offioe to go into the oourt room
leaving the offioe door open and a nioe
overcoat hanging on the wall. He woe not
gone more thAn fifteen or twenty minutes,
but when he retained his overooat was
gone. He suspected that it bad been stolen
and would be pawned, which proved cor
rect. It had been pawned by a negro
named George Wilson for $1 to a pawn
broker and Mr. White had no trouble in re
covering it.
THB TRUCKING TRADE.
One Seed House sells Seven\Oarloads
of Reed to savannah.
Few people in Savannah in all probability
realize the Immensity of the trucking in
terests in and around the city. They have
vague and indefinite ideas os to the amouot
■hipped away from here, whioh is
very large. A drummer for a Chicago seed
bouse was in the city yesterday and made
the statement that his house annually
shipped to Savannah seven carloads of seed
for truok planting purposes. This is an im
mense amount in itself, but it is by no
means all the seed sold here. Other whole
sale and retail houses do a big business in
that line in Savannah, which will run up
the grand total much more than seven car
loads. From these figures some idea can be
formed of tbe immensity of the business*.
A Little Book Worth Having.
The Baldwin Fertilizer Company is
•ending out iu yearly grouting in tbe form
of a “memorandum, cash account aud
diary” for 1893. The little book has quite a
number of useful facts in it and also on
“identification” and “How easy it is to for
get” pages, or things that are easy to for
get, aud yet the verv things that ods should
know about oneself. It ie a little book
worth having.
The King of Quinces.
A monster quince weighing 1 pound 15
ounoee hoe been received by the Morn ino
News Fruit Bureau from Mr. R. C. Zlt
trouer. It was grown on a tree on Mr.
Zittrouer’s farm near Way’s Station, Lib

INFESTED WITH BEGGAR- 1 .
They Are in Savannah in Great Force
Juet Now.
Savannah is evidently a very popular
winter retort for beggars, onpples, the halt,
lame and blind, and every species of human
deformity that oaile for the sympathy and
each of the average citizen. Just now she
is full of them and the air during the day
Is resonant of the sound- of squeaky band
organa grinding out the threadbare, but
onoe popular tunes of the day.
Chief among them, and the most persist
ent of them all, are some blind people, or,
et least, they appear to be blind. They roll
their eyee back until nothing bat the whites
■how, and some people are akeptioal enough
to think they are fake*. There are four of
tham,including one women. They take their
stand on some prominent corner and grind
away at tbelr little organs, never forgetting
to hold their beads high in order chat the
passer by cannot fail to note their effUo
tion.
The eoheme works most successfully, and
their little tin cups Jingle all day with the
nlokeie, dimes and quarters that
sympathetic women drop in them. Most
of the contributors are ladles, though, of
course, now and then a man’s heart is
touobed into sympathy. These people may
or may not be deeervlug of charity, but the
fact is, thev have one of the "softest snaps’’
going. If they keep on at the present rate
they will soon be able to retire from buei
nese oa a nice little ompetence. They are
never eeeo together, but as they all began
' usiness in Savannah about the tune time
it is supposed they are confederates and di
vide up the spoils between them. Outside
of their real or funded affliction, these peo
ple are pretty fair specimens of manhood.
Tfcay have evidently not recently suffered
from the pangs of hunger, for, to all ap
pearances, they live on the fat of the land.
Beside* these there are many beggars of
another class who infest the fronte of
hotels aDd other* publio resorts. They
have been blown up In an explosion,
lost a leg in their country s service, or have
been cut up in a railroad accident. They
have a nioe little story to tell and they re
peat it 100 time* dally without the slightest
variation. Unless their feceor their breath
give* them away and shows that they are
two-thirds full of liquor, their ltttie etory
brings a quarter or some other small
amount. These fellows haven't been hungry
lately anyway to judge from tbelr sleek
appearance.
Then there is the regulation bum and
dead beat. He is, if anything, more numer
ous then the rest He wants whisky, and be
wants it had. No matter in how great a
burry on* may be he stops and half way de
mands enough to "get something to eat.”
He doesn't look like bo it hungry, and he
isn’t, but hie thirst it beyond computation.
Only a very green man woull give him
anything, but there are evidently maDy of
that class, for this style of beggar is always
full and somebody must give him tLe
money to buy it.
Then again one sometimes runs across a
fellow who is honest. He frankly say* that
be wants a drink and asks for the price of
it. One is more luolined to give him some
thing than to the other class who lie about
their real wauts. As may be imagined
this specimen la a rara avis and is not often
seen. There are others with other schemes
and stories, but the above are the principal
classes seen now on the streets of Savannah.
W hers they all oome from and where they
all go is a mystery, but the faol is they are
here now, and more abundantly, too, than
for a long time.
THE DEMOCRATIC) SHIP.
Tha Story of tha Lata Campaign Dona
in Oil.
Last week R. Sella*, who keeps a fruit
stand at the corner of West Broad and
Perry street lane, finished a painting in oil
that is worthy of a real artist. Mr. Bellas
is a native of Souppales, Greece, and is
about 25 years old. Hs is a sailor by pro
fession, but upon his arrival in this coun
try, went into the fruit business. The sub
ject of his painting is a mariner’s view of
the late presidential election, and will be
enjoyed by every democrat who see* it.
The painting la about two feet square and
represents the scene of a rocky seashore and
the entrance to a harbor. To the left is a
light house with the keeper’s cottages nest
ling near its base. A large wind mill U
also eeeu near the cottages, and everything
on the shore pictures happiness. In the
foreground is a large fall rigged American
ship with every Uioh of canvas spread and
bedecked witb tbe German, Arabian and
Greek colon. At her spankor gaff flies a
large American flag, and on tbe sides of tbe
vessel ie gold letters ie tbe name President
Cleveland. The orew on board appear
happy, tbe water near the ship looks placid,
and all is going well aboard this ship, yhe
is entering tbe harbor for a safe anchorage.
In the background to tbe right is seen a
wrecked vessel, with the broken masts
hanging over the sides, the waves dashing
over her from stem to stern, showing that
she bad been guided by a poor pilot and run
upon a reef. Her appearance shows that
she wlil soon be broken up into drift-wood,
to be scattered alODg the beach. This vessel
is named President Harrison.
Mr. Bellas is very proud of his pioture
and takes great delight in showing it, os he
is a stauob democrat. Tbe democratic
■hip is a perfect vessel, every line and block
on a ship being in lte proper plaoei. Being s
tailor, Mr. Hellas knew the subject he was
handling and made it as near perfect as pos
sible. The pioture is not for sale, but will
be used as an ornameDt to his store os well
as an evidence of his skill with the brush.

WHEELMEN'S TRACK ASSOCIA
TION AND WHAT IT IS DOING.
Savanuah Will Boon Have the Finest
Bicycla Club, Racing Track and
(-'porting Grounds In the South.
SIO,OOO Stock Subscribed and the
Grounds Now Under Construction.
To Be Completed by February and
Opened With a Grand Foot Ball
Match and Blcyole Meet on Wash
ington’s Birthday.
Savannah will soon boast the finest ath
letic grounds in the south, and which will
ootnpare favorably with any in the
country.
Prof. C. 8. Richmond, president of the
Wheelmen’* Track Association, speaks very
entertainingly of the track and olub house
now being built by his association and
gives some information that will he read
with interest, not only by lovers of the
sports in Savannah, but in this and ad
joining states.
THE QBOUNDS DESCRIBED.
••We have purchased," said he, “a lot of
reran acres ab ut two miles from the city
at the intersection of the Thunderbolt shell
road and the Electric railway line. The lot
faces 350 feet on tbe shell road and 650 feet
on the railway line, whioh is also a 40-foot
■helled boulevard connecting with EstUl
avenue.
"The lot will be nicely fenced, end one
of the finest bioycies tracks and athletic
grounds oonstruc ed in the south. The
traak will be the Guest in the United
States, and the oniy one of its
kind, there being only one other
in the world, and that in Parle. It will be
well sodded and rolled, and of concrete,
quarter mile lap. It will be fifteen feet wide,
whioh will be increased to thirty feet at the
curves and tbe home stretch. It is five feet
below tbe level and very smooth.
headquarters for field sports.
“Besides the track, the interior will be
used for sports, and one of the finest foot
and base ball grounds in the south will be
made. Besides there will be a lawn tennis
court, a 200-yard rifle range and other
spurting grounds within the inclosure.
“A grand stand capable of oomfortably
aeatiug 1,500 persons wiil also De erected
and fitted out in the best manner.
‘ ’Our club house will be a model of its
kind, and the most commodious in the city.
It will be a 2-story wooden building with
brick trimmings, and will oocupv a space of
60x60 feet. It will c ntaln about ten large
rooms. The ground floor will lie the dining,
dressing, bath and reception rooms, also the
kitchen, while the second floor
will contain the game and
smoking rooms. It will have pool and bil
liard tables, cards and reading. The whole
will be lighted by electrioliy. and artesian
water will be oonveyed to the rooms by a
windmill.
TO BE LIGHTED WITH ELECTRICITY.
’’One of the moat notable features will be
the lighting of the track by a number of
eleotno lights, which will make it as light
at night as in the day and it will not De un
common to have races and games at night.
"The entranoe to the grounds will be by
Estill avenue, which will be shelled from its
intersection of Bull street.
“We propose to open the grounds on Fsb.
22, at thioh time there will probably be a
game of foot ball between tbe C. •L. A.s
and Atlanta team. It is also probable
that there will be other games, including
raoet, etc.”
THE WHEELMEN’S TRACK ASSOCIATION.
The Wheelmen’s Track Association was
organized last month by the members of the
different bicycle clubs, and is capitalized at
S 10,036, divided into shares of ¥25 eaoh.
Tbe stock la owned principally by memliers
of the different bicycle clubs, although a
great deal is taken by outsiders.
It is very probable that the annual meet
of the wheelmen will be held in Savannah
next year, and the managers are trying to
get the Southern League to use their
grounds. It tbe different northern clubs
carry out their intentions of coming south
to practice, Savannah will get a great num
ber of them with such Inducement as the
new grounds offer: and with the different
meets of the local bicycle clubs, there will
tie plenty of attractions on the grounds.
At present there are six bicycle clubs in
the oity, and they can get champion riders
to race on their tracks add have some inter
esting meets.

The City and Suburban railway has a bill
bofore the general assembly amending its
charter so as to give it the privilege of using
its surplus electric power for general light

to plants needing it.
The Belt Line eleotrio plant has been out

are being run by the power of tbe City and
Suburban railway. The latter company’s
outfit ie capable of running the cars of all
the lines in the city and its own at the
same time.
From what seeme to be satisfactory evi
dence it Is stated that the body of the man
found in the river a few days ago was not

Tax Collector J. J. MoGowan gives notice
that the digest is now open for tbe collection

to 2p. m. Tbe digest will only t>e open a

they must pay their taxes for this year.
The members of the Beth-Eden Baptist
ohuren, of which the Rev. A. Ellis Is pastor,
have arranged for a fair at their chapel, on
St. Julian and Whitaker streets, to begin

proposed a most interesting programme
and they hope the publio will help them.
The money they make will be added to the

Solomon Pinckney, a young colored boy,

(culored) at the market last Digbt about 10
o’olook. He dashed down Bryan street with
Rloe in fail pursuit crying, “Stop him,
police” at the top of bis vnioe. A couple of
young white men stopped Pinckney’s oareer
near the corner of Whitaker street and
turned him over to Officer Crimmine, who
gave him a ride to the barraoka. A pistol
was fouud in his pocket and the charge of
carrying ooncealed weapons will likely
prove more serious than that of theft.
Attention is again called to the fact that
orders for Stein way pianos for tbe holiday!
should be plaoed immediately to save dis

demand and our wareroom stock, while
very oomplete, is goiug very fast.

Tramps on the Increase Here.
Savannah seems about to be overrun
with tramps. Ths faot that large number*
of them have been in the oily has already
been mentioned, but tbe supply ehowe no
diminution. They are coming in from the
north in droves. Friday night a party of
twenty of them built a fire and camped ont
at tbs 4-mile bill. The next morning they
broke into smaller parties and entered ths
city. The ooid weather of tbe past night or
two has driven many of them to seek shelter
at the barracks, and last night six of them
were given lodging there. They of course
deny being tramps, but say they are look
ing for work in Savannah. It if not prob
able that they are looking very hard or no
doubt they would get something to do.
I have used “Antimigraine” and it af
fords me great relief. John T. Broiherton,

THE USUAL CHRISTMAS PUZZLE
SOLVED.
Appropriate Christmas Presents and
Where to Get Them.
The time for the acquisition of Christ
presents is short, if we oun tern plate a
careful and leisurely selection. Every year
the ami old "poser” arises:
“What shall I get l ”
"Where shall I get itl”
Sternberg’s jewelry palace solves tbe rid
dle tide season by offering a display of
Tamable goods seldom equnied end never
surpassed in tbis latitude. In fact Stern
berg carries by far the largest and most
varied stock of any similar establishment
in Savannah.
Grand displays of the products of the fine
metals, precious stones, and exquisitely ar
tistic creations are oommunly paralie.ed, by
way of comparison, with tbe noted “Tif
fany’s” of New York, and Sternberg’s ex
hibit ie certainly a most oreditable parallel
with the famous New York house, of course,
on a more moderate scale, bit
in quality and wide range of selec
tions, Che result is harmonious ami oomplete.
Diamond and gold jewelry, unique designs
in silverware, ornamental and decorative
sets, and single piece*, novelties in silver,
watohee. ehains, charms, cuff buttons,
•tods, earrings, diamond pendants, gold
and sliver optical goods, gold-headed canes
and umbrellas, onyx and brass stands and
tables, piano and banquet lamp*, chests of
silver, nicknaoks and trinkets in silver and
gold, etc,
Sternberg’s striking window display
mildly Indexes the beauties and varieties
within, and a most cordial invitation is ex
tended to every one to drop in, look over
the stook and compare prices and quality.
Sternberg's prioee will complete the oon
queet begun by charming goods, and will
be found in keeping with the stringency of
the time* and tbe requirements of patrons.
A visit or visits may be made without re
gard to purohaeiug, and the treat involved
■hould bring all In search of Christmas,
wedding or other gifts.—ad.
Vanderbilt and His $200,000,000.
Vandetbilt started in the world a poor
man. He invested judiciously in real es
tate and beoame a financial king. C. J.
Hull, lately deceased, of Chioago, died leav
ing an estate worth many millions—in Sa
vannah alone his estate In suburban and
city property is worth a million or more—
its value having inoreased daily and is con
tinually increasing.
Those who have invested in stocks and
like securities have frequently become poor.
But the judicious man who first purchases
a lot and tbeu another and continues to
place hi* money in real estate must and
will grow richer and prosper. This has
been true in the past and will ever be so
in the future. Buy then, while you oan, a
lot at West Savannah for $250 or $300; pay
$lO cash and balauoe $5 a mouth -take ad
vantage of the opportunity before the
fince is advanced and you will make a
arge profit on your investment.
Consider tbe rapid improvements going ou
in this seotlon for the pest eighteen months,
and now the new electrio car line, whioh is
a guaranteed certaiutv, and tbe benefits of
twenty-six feet of water, which tbe United
States government is now at work putting
into tbe Savannah river as far os the old
water works. Look ot the great industries
now goiug on along the river banks for two
miles up! Factories, mills, wharves, eta,
where thrse years ago was nothing but
farms. Man must have homes for their
families, and West Savannah is the plaoe,
and the only plaoe, where thev can buy
them with a oash payment of SSO and the
balanc# on ten years time, with only 4 per
cent, interest, payable in monthly install
ments. No stock, no fines, no oity taxes:
but eleotrio oars, artesian water and their
own homes In a good healthy locality, with
the money they Would bave thrown away
for a stack of rent receipts.
Tbe fifty lota advertised at S2BO and S3OO
—slo cash and $5 a month—are goiug last.
Call at onoe and eecure your lot while you
can do ao at this prioe.
