MELBOURNE BIDS
FLEET FAREWELL
SOUTHERN TO BRING
BACK ITS MONEY.
Atlanta, Sept. 3.—It Is reported that
the Southern Railway will probably In
the near future bring Its bank depos
its back to Georgia, even though the
Legislature at Its regular session fail
ed, on account of the press of other
business to amend the state garnish
ment lav*. It was the fact that these
laws permitted the funds of the rail
road company, to be tied up by litiga
tion without reason or necessity that
led the company to take Its money out
of Georgia. Although the law. Has not
been amended, it Is not believed, In
the face of overwhelming public senti
ment against It, that the railroad com
pany would be seriously molested
should it bring Its funds back.
Fire about 9 o'clock last night de
stroyed the barn at the old Quarter-
man place on the corner of C and
Quarterman streets. The place was
located considerable distance outside
the water limits, and there was little
tie firemen could do toward extin
guishing the blaze. No one was oc
cupying the Quarterman house at the
time of the fire and there Is every
reason to believe that It was of
incendiary origin. The loss was
about $200. The place Is owned by
Mr. J. B. Deen.
Melbourne, Australia, Sept. 4.—At
the farewell banquet In honor of tn
officers of 'the American fleet Iasi

world. There was great enthusiasm,
The fleet will sail tomorrow for Al

this afternoon. ,

calaboose wating trial before Mayor's
court tomorrow. The cases were
called by Mayor pro-tem J. A. Lott
this morning, but in order to give the
negroes time to employ counsel, the
hearing was postponed until tomor

were captured In the raid and* will be
used as evidence against the negroes

be of great aid to the committee at
the present time. It will enable the
association to put a roof on the build
ing and prepare at least part of the
structure for use within the next two
or three months.
A short time ago a few citizens of
the city met and raised $1,000 by sub
scribing certain sums to be paid each
week, and this has enabled, the build

Trust Company of Birmingham, Ala.,
opened a branch office at 913-14 Nation
al Bank Building. The Company be
ing a national concern, was not un
known to the Informed public, and
from the first met with liberal patron-
ape. Every month has shown an In
crease In business, and their manager
hero stateR that they have construct
ed over $450,000 through this office
alone, and loans to the amount of $35,-
000 have already been granted In this
state.
The object of tho Standard Trust
Company Is to make loans to purchase
homes, pay off mortgages, and to Im
prove real estate. Those loans are
made at 5 per cent, simple Interest
per annum, payable monthly. This com
pony brings money from centers where
loaning rates are low, to a common
center, for distribution to points where
rates aro higher; It furnishes u safe
and profitable system for Investing
money In both large and small sums
In a manner which will assist and en
courage saving.
The following extract from a pam
phlet issued by the Merchants' Asso
ciation of New York, emphasizes the
plan of the Standard Trust Company.

Savings Banks from lonns range from

was 6.56 per cent, and upon lot loans
5.38 per cent. The present return
upon these classes of loans Is 4 1-2 to 6
per cent, since 1800. ; Savings Bank do-

Why? Because the banks and trust

SNIPE HUNTING
Mr. H. Welsser, the well known
watchmaker, was this morning pres
ented with the following certificate:
"This Is to certify that Mr. H. Weis-
Her has fully qualified as a “Snipe Hun
ter” and especially a “Sack Holder,"
and should he make application, Is
eligible to membership In the “Baca
Holders Union."
Signed,
A. W. Lang*,
W. B. Ellington,
E. H. Crawley,
H. L. Andrews,
Dell Salisbury.
Judging from the presentation or
the above certificate Mr. Welsser is
considerably wiser today, and Is ev*
dently better acquainted with the
swamps and sloughs on the outskirts
of Waycross. It Is said that the young
man discovered numerous wild ani
mals, never before supposed! to have
existed In this section of the country,
and that he now knows enough to fill
several books as to the ins and outat
of “snipe hunting."
Last night's hunting trip carried Mr..
Welsser through the wilds of Pierce
county, and what be didn't learn isrft
worth knowing.
