to Work—Hull, Farm, River and

Greater Portion of 825.1100 Appro
priation Hus Already Been Spent.
Director George M. Gadsden of the
public works department left yesterday
for a short vacation in the East. Mr.
Gadsden will return to Savannah by
Sept. 1, when the Gwinnett street sub
way is to be started, and paving oper
ations are to be resumed.
The early fall will be a busy time in
the public works department, as Mr.
Gadsden will have to watch the con
struction of the subway for the city, as
well as look after the regular work of
his department.
Hall, Fn.rni and River Streets,
Most of the $25,000 paving appropria
tion for this year has already been
spent, though there are still a number
of streets yet to be paved. Much of
the material that is to be used has al
ready been purchased, so the cost to
the city will not be as great as usual.
Hall, Farm and River streets have
all been passed by Council and will he
paved early in the fall. Most of the
brick for paving Hall street has al
ready been distributed along that thor
oughfare. This will be the first street
paved when the work is resumed in
September.
Farm and River streets are to be
paved with cobble stones that the city
already has on hand. There is an ordi
nance before Council now for paving
State street from Bull to Jefferson.
This ordinance will he pased Wednes
day and the work will be done along
with the other before the new year.
Streets Pa.ve*l This Year.
Though the appropriation for paving
this year was less than the year be
fore, a great deal of work has been
accomplished. Park avenue, a short
portion of Abercorn street, part of
Habersham, Thirty-first, Thirty-sixth.
Whitaker and West Broad have all
been paved.
The paving of Lincoln street from
Oglethorpe avenue to Bay is now be
ing agitated. If there is enough mon
ey left when the work already passed
is finished, this street will probably
be paved this year. Those in favor
of paving this street, say it is badly
needed. There is no paved street con
necting Bay street and Oglethorpe ave
nue between Drayton and Price streets.

TO GET CAR EQUIPMENT.
Last Failure Charged to Matiiiinln
tlon on Part of Railroad..
The lumbermen of the Georgia In
terstate Sawmill Association have not
given up their fight to have the Geor
gia Legislature pass a flat car equip
ment bill, despite the fact that after
several years of effort to secure such
a measure, it is still a thing of the fu
ture. The bill was reported on ad
versely by the Railroad Committee of
the House on the last day of the leg
islative session just ended.
Mr. William B. Stillwell of the
Southern Pine Company, and one of
the chief officers of the Sawmill As
sociation. who has been most tireless
In his efforts to have the bill passed,
was in Atlanta during the last days of
the legislative session, but has returned
to Savannah. He is still satisfied that
the desires of the lumbermen as set
forth in the measure they championed
are so just that it is but a question of
time when they will secure the law
they want. Discussing the matter
yesterday, he said:
“Yes. we failed to get our bill

advantage. It is needless to talk
meantime, except as our purpose may
suggest and require.
"We will say that our bill was not
killed in this Legislature by the ad
verse report of the Railroad Commit
tee, but by manipulations of the rail
roads that delayed this report to such
time as made it impossible for us to
get a vote on the bill in the House.
We feel sure that had the report been
promptly made we could have gotten
a vote and have passed the hill in the
House over an adverse report of the
committee, just ns we did in the Sen
ate.

strong point and our weak ones, and

SWINDLING is "CHARGED
BY NEGRO WOMAN.
Upon Her Affidavit Warrant Was Is
nned for Employment Man.
On a warrant charging cheating and
swindling, under unusual circum
stances, It. H. Wandell, proprietor of
an employment bureau, was requited
to give bond yesterday morning for
his appearance in the City Court.
The warrant was issued by Justice
Isaac Nathans on an affidavit made
by Ella Brown, of No. 47 Maple lane.
Ella swore she had been swindled out
of $1 by Wandell. She alleges he
charged her $1 and promised her a
position in New- York, which she has
not yet been given.
According to the story told by the
woman, she made several trips to
Wandell’s office and was told each time
that she would get the place when he
could get it for her. Justice Nathans
had refused to issue warrants in simi
lar cases, he says, because of the fre
quency of the complaints determined
to send the matter to the City Court
and have Judge Norwood ascertain if
any offense against the state had been
committed.

Macon, Aug. 13.—The cloud of mys
tery which envelopes the identity of
the guest who committed suicide in
the Park Hotel last night by taking
opium, is still dense. Although he
traced his name on the register as
Harry E. Mitchell of Richmond. Va.,
telegrams to the police authorities of
that city have thrown no light on the
situation.
On account ni the dead man trying
to sell a ticket to San Antonio, Tex.,
and because of the name of an Atlanta
firm on his hat, messages have been
sent to both of these places without
results. The body is still here. He was
about 30 years of age and appeared to
be a man of refinement.
Sues Central for $5,00A.
Macon, Aug. 13.—Claiming that she
was rudely pushed off the platform of
a train in the Union Depot on Aug. 8
by having the porter slam a door
against her and that she fell to the
ground and had her arm broken in
three places, Mrs. Mary Davis filed a
suit to-day in the City Court against
the Centrat Railway for $5,000. The
plaintiff alleges that she is employed
as a mill operative and earns 75 cents
a day.

The Size of
Our New Oarage
struck 'the visitors. They
could hardly understand
how such an immense build
ing was necessary for the
automobile business in Sa
vannah. Rut when they
saw the parade line up and
the 41 all in evidence it was
easy to understand why the
garage Is needed. See the
photographs now on exhibi
tion and note the number
of machines bearing the
banner “Brvon.”
Just aj^Explanation.
SoWfany have asked us if
the Canopy Top Touring Car
now exhibited by us is an
other $4,500 machine. We
beg to say it is
The Olds Touring Car,
with Canopy Top,
And the price is
$1,100.00.
The mistake is quite nat
ural, as the car is a wonder
in looks, performance and
laieoomimodaition. We have
just received the second car
load of
Olds Touring Cars.
Those also resemble the
$2,500 fellows, but are sold
at the Olds low figures,
Unquestionably the Olds ma
chines are wonders In
money value. The second
car of Olds Runabouts will
be here this week.
Cadillacs
Are ready for Immediate
delivery. The Cadillac tells
its own story. Look at it
anywhere and you’ll discov
er a 'real good thing. Re
cent records from the Endur
ance runs show that our
imuertlnes, THE TOLBIh $
OLDSMORILH and CAD
ILLAC, are always at the
front and always do credit
to themselves. Come by
and see the figures. Now
let us sell you a machine.
Now is the time to enjoy
one, and of course, you will
enjoy it more if you buy
it here.
We are THE IT
in Repairs and Storage.
Our men are the best ob
tainable and we have had
the experience. The boss,
too, knows a little something
about the business. Try us
and you will be pleased.

“By Their Works
Shall Ye Know Them”
As they were known in the pa
rade last Wednesday. Every
body was on the lookout for the
handsome “Ford” car put ouit
by this company, and they were
readily recognized by their
quiet, easy running and lack
of vibration—no signs were re
quired to tell wihat make they
were or where they were from—
everybody knew. Moat peoole,
however, mode the miotake of
thinking they were electrics, on
account of their following our
“Waverley" electrics and mak
ing but little more noise.
The “Ford” cars were ac
knowledged by all to be the fin
est appearing automobiles In
line, .o.nd excepting the '‘Wav
erley” electrics—the most com
fortable. The “Ford" cars
were among the very first to
a rive at Bethesda and the Coun
ty Farm, and every "Ford”
reached Thunderbolt and Savan
nah on time—and all together.
We were not kept busy that
night and the next day towing
in wrecks—-we had none.
The “Waverley” Electrics
were a great surprise to every
body—they carried their ton
nage nicely, kept tight up with
the gasoline “Red Devils"
throughout the entire trip, and
were without a doubt the most
comfortable vehicles in. the pa
rade.
The Visiting Mayors
only disappointment In Savan
nah was that 'there were not
enough Fords and Waverleys
to carry them a.ll, although we
had 26 in line, a pretty good
showing for a (4-mlnths-old)
baby company, everybody
must admit.
4 “Ford” Cars
have been sold by us since the
parade to some of those who
were fortunate enough to ride
In our cars and enjoy their de
lightfulness, and we “have a
feeling” that we are going to
sell three more Monday. Why
not come and take a look at the
cars; they are all “falling over
themselves” to htty. If you
have the slightest idea, of buy
ing an automobile, that idea
will crystalize into action when
you have seen and rode in the
Ford.
The “Pope Waverley”
Electrics
continues to give satisfaction—
they cannot help it, it’s part
of their make-up. They are
built for that purpose, and they
“make good.” Day or night,
rain or shine, they are always
ready to take you wherever
you desire to go and bring you
back again without loss of
time. They do the work of two
horses, with much more satis
faction and at less expense.
Sundries, Storage,
Repairing, Etc.
Our stock of sundry supplies,
parts, renewals, etc., is com
plete and our prices are right.
Our facilities for storing and
caring for machines of ail
makes is all that could be de
sired and we guarantee satis
faction in every particular. Our
facilities for repairing gasoline
and electric machines, charging
clcctlrics, overhauling storage
batteries, etc., are unequaled in
the South. We employ good
men, use good materials, do
good work and give good satis
faction, and our charges are
reasonable.
