The project of Alderman Dixon for the
opening of Abercorn and Barnard street.-*,
(.trough some or sli of the squarre around
which they pass, continues the subject
of constant discussion The opposition to
tne project Is pron*>unce*l. und certainly
wd) not be erwWl even If the
grants the re*iulred authority arxl Coun
cil the ordinance In question.
A prominent member of tlie Savannah
bar liscus.-x‘l the question yesterday with i
manifest and expr*--s*d Indignation, de
claring that th accomplishm*nt of the
project would do the city an irreparable
Injury. He said further that the Iy*gisla- j
tura could not give the city authority to j
destroy the symmetry and beauty of the j
square und tn.it any owner of property,
which abuttal on the squares, might **h
tain an injunction against the change.
"It's a crying shame that such * plan ,
Is even contemplated." said the lawyer.
"Thare are title* everywhere that would j
give almost any amount of money for j
the square* that ornamen. and benefit
Huvannah. and that their beauty should
lx* destroyed, to serve a purpose purely
utilitarian, aid Ihe a- ompiishm* nt of
this pur|ose even la not guaranteed or j
lik< ;y to follow, is an out rag* The plan
ought lo be opposed by every good tdti
sen.
"It H sold that even after the streets
nr*- opened the area of gra*** will !••• .is
larg* a.** is th* ' *.*-e now. Tnt* argument
la -vorthieea, for it is noi tlo number ol
sqttar** i** t In gras.- that gives !*•>• stjuar*-
their Ix.n ty. hut th* ir aha •• tlx it s>n
nte'ry, the fact thnt the angularity of •>**
plan of ilie **it> I* relieved nt intervals
by thee© circles of *xhll-*1 lawn nl wav
ing trees, that, approached from whatever
siarxl|Htlnt. present an apjx .train - equally
beautiful.
"Iti further support of Ah** plan it Is
contended that th? change would Increase
the value of the trust lots. This Is another
fallacy, founded only on mere a.-senlon.
How the v.Uu- of a lot can lx* Increased
by taking away the approach to Its front,
passes the imagination of th*- ordinary
individual I>xk at Wesley Monumental
Church, for Instance, or Trinity Church.
If tho streets intersecting the squares
were dosed, as Is contemplated, Ah*- car
riages for a wedding or a funeml could
not again approach the doors of either o(
th*se edifices and constant Inconvenience
would lx* the result. Take the case of
the Telfair Academy of Art- nnd 8 xnres
and a similar state of affairs would U
produced. Look at the residences* on the
trust lota and consider th Inconvenience
•o those who live in them.
"And even if it were true, which |t isn't
tmt the value of trust lot property would
)e improve*! by the change, what rlgiil
has the city to permit such an argum-nt
to control Its action? The squares are
the common property of all the people,
and no more belong to trust lot owners
than they W> to the owner of any other
piece of land within the corporate limits
Council has no right to advance the In
terests of on** set of proper t> owners at
the expense of the people generally.
“The city squiires are th*- distinguishing
characteristic of Savannah's beauty, and
they should he retained as they are. It
Is a pity that the square system was n*u
followed in opening streets in the south
ern section.
“Moreover," aald (hr lawyer, "even If
the legislature gives Council the right
to make the change aqd open sirects
through the squares and even If Council
should make us** of the authority so
granted. It would not serve to accomplish
•he intended purpose. Any owner of prop
erty affected by the change could obtain
an injunction against it and the highest
courts of th** land. In my opinion, would
sustain the Injunction's validity and make
It permanent. Clearly to take away from
a man tlx* right to drive up to the door
of his own house is taking or damaging
his property without du* process of law,
und the constitution of the state and of
the United State* alike forbl 1 tt. With all
deferem*© to A Herman Dixon nnd to
Council, they will have to obtain a
chang** of sentiment, as well n* a change
in the law. before they will lw In n posi
tion success fully lo accomplish the de
struction of the squares' beauty."
These expressions of opinion are typical
of those constantly used by th*- opponents
of the proJt**t to open streets through the
squares It Is undoubtedly true that the
opposition to the project is very strong
and that those who ore In opposition now
will fight out the fight to the lust ditch.

for their output. Th** delegation is head
id t> Mr Haul Pritchard, formerly of

The pain of the syndi ate has been fully

The .-cheme is generally look*d upon by

•lmii(el that It would be u r-wd thimr
for th' planters If the combination did all
that it promises to do. Tn*> planters are
fearful, however, that l: might take tnejr
crop for the first year, breaking up the
brokerage business and after that It
would have them a? Us mercy. A guar

Tfx* statement was recently made that
th*- syndicate expects to control 7f per

>**s(erday that hi le impossible for the
reason that fully one-half of the crop has
already l*een marketed. The March und
April plantings have been thrashed out
and sold. The Mly and June plantings
still remain, and It is for these that the

An QRuislng spectacle occurred Fatut*lay
night at Oglethorpe avenue and Drayton

was trying to tow a heavy wagon from
which th*- hors** hid lx-en for aomc* rea
son unhitched. Ho struggl'd manfully
for awhile to g*t the wmkoii In mo.ion
without getting off his wheel, but the
heavy vehlcl** refusid to budge. Then
he conceived the idea that if be could
once get the wagon going and then exert
his pull from the bicycle he might suc
ceed In his attempt, and he spent another
ten minutes trvlng that. First he gave
the wagon a good shove forward and then
hastened to get on the bike. hut. alas,
th* wagon was not ball-bearing, and the
Unix*mix of each shove was exhaustet long
before th** t*>> could get his wheel In
position lx-twen the shafts.
.-'till he wood to? give up. but after a
go-1 <l*al of profanity, and a little rogl
• a lon. induce*! another colored boy to
giv*- th* wagon a start, aft* r he. on his
wheel, had got between the shafts. Th**
wagon was on n slight down grade when
th* first start was made, and by the

enough to nl ow the hoy to congratulate

a as for “the plans of mice and men." the

Need*.
"Home Things Pavannsh Nerds" was the
subject upon which the pastor of the
First Itaptist Church. Rev. John D. Jor
don. addressed his congregation last
night. It was not. he aald, in a fault
finding way ator |>e*simlstic.il!y that he
desire*! to consider those things, but only
in the hop** that a consideration of the
|x>ints upon which he would dwell might
result in a* me improvement to the city
and its people.
Church-gomg Is commended by Dr Jor
dan. who recognize* that Ihe habit Is not
indulged in Savannah to the extent It Is In
many other cities. S.ivannuhtans are too
prone to yield to any slight excuse, with
the result that congregations in attend
ance upon holy worship, are, as a rule,
smaller than the ministers would like to
meet.
The pastor prefaced hls sermon with a
story of tho conversion of a Boston boy
whose life thereafter was such as to
make hls name uo'able among those that
are embraced in modern eocleMjhtlc.i. i is
lory. This buy had worked hard for six
days, but on the seventh, though tired
and Sleepy aft* r his w< * k ia:*ori*, he h I
gone to church, where, overvome by r**-
o* llioim nature, he nod fallen asleep, only
to awak'-n with the concluding words of
the prayer, "For Christ's sake, amen,"
which Impressed themselves upon hi*
mind, brought about hla convcr.-ion and
were hls wat.towords through life That
boy was Dwight L. Moody, "and yet,"
Bald I>r. Jordan, "there are probably 8.-
vann.ihlans who wou.d say that the boy
should have remained at home, rather
than go to church, if he felt worn out
from hls work of the week "
Charitable, art and literary institutions
In Savannah, mild Dr. Jordan, are either
dead, stagnant or decayed. "Yet I am In
form#*!," he continued, "that more than
JOu saloons flour sh In the city, that a large
number of gamtdmg rooms are #lulng well,
and that the elites tire frequented by
many young men. All the while that
money is being so fr#*ely expended in sa
loons. nt the gaming tables and In the
clubs, those institution* that show .1 be
nurtured and cherish* and are allow -d to
languish for lack of It. many of them be
ing forced to 'nsolvency through the with
holding of funds that should b*- willingly

suffer from this neglect, while the poor
and needy lose the aid that they would
receive were the Institutions <-*<:ubllshed
for their aid and maint#*nslice sustained
in th** Cbristly work in which they .r**
engaged”
Dr. Jordan referred to the straits in
which some of th** public charities of the
city hive fallen through th* Indifference
of those upon whom they have been de
pendent for support. One or two ha\e
been forced to discontinue their work,
selling out their property in order to me**t
their obligations to creditors. "While
baser tningx flourish. ** said Dr. Jordan,
"these noble institutions wither and d!*v
It is a state of affairs that forces one to
exclaim with the prophet. 'Brethren, these
things ought not so to be.* "
A charitable association tvn* commend

nah i* most sorely m ne*-d Dr. Jordan
eaki the work of aiding the poor has de
volved utn the pastors n*J congrega
tions of the churches that care to assume

turning *v~zy the unworthy.
"Pastors,” said hr. Jordan, "receive
many applications for charity, but prcach
i ers are not able to care for all who want
their aid. There are those who seem to
i think that they should direct all who
nr in need to the , reachers. in the mis
taken idea that church funds, destined

; as a rule, draw large Mil tries, yet the\
| y.ive more to the |xor of what they make
than docs any other class of men. when
the pioix*r;ion of the money earned l
considered."
Much of the charity that Is indulged in
by business men and others in Savannah,
the pastor went on. Is misdirected, being
given to tho*<- who are unworthy of It. A
nlekle may be given to a mendicant to be
expended around the nearest corner for
opium, morphine or whisky, and this is
an abuse of what there Is of the sweet
spirit of charity in Savannah that has an
evil effect.

i public mind, deploring its nee* I of rultl

An Incident of hls own recent experience

The firemen at No. 3 engine house have

distinct and clear, she Is a thing of beau

young specimen of the latter animal.
Chrtwtlw, however, has attained her
growth, being more than three years old
She ha* been t Savannah three years,
having come from Ecuador from .Mr
Perry DeLeon, who was then consul for
th# I’nited States In that country. The
ocelot was addree.-cd to Augusta, by Mr

Savannah Instead, and Mr. DeLeon finally
deckled to present the animal lo Foreman
