Wheel* Wfre Locked and Mn rhine Had to He Lifted From the Burning Earth—Hud Used Kero sene Oil to Fill Tanks, Believing They Were Empty—Party Resened l>y AY reeking; Machine. A story was brought In by a local automobile dealer, who also does a general wrecking business, rescuing dis abled autos on the road, last night, in which a number of prominent gentle men and two companions figured. Shortly after 9 o'clock the party left the city for a ride through the moon light to Thunderbolt. The trip to the popular resort was attended by no further incident than the frequent stops for the proper enjoyment of re freshments. The owner of the ma chine was acting as “shover," and piloted the party safely. After an hour's enjoyment at the Casino, the party started on the re turn trip. The night was made merry by the songs and jests of the elated quintette. The whirring wheels and regular “chug, chug' 1 of the motor kept accompanyment to the song, &nd the throaty notes of the signal horn punctu ated, as with laughter, the funny stories. Indeed, it was “awfully jol ly.” Shadow Frightened Driver. Suddenly across the road ahead there appeared a shadow, resembling through the wine mist which ob scured the “shovel's” view, a fallen tree. It was nothing more than a depression in the road. Just as the machine got to the spot the driver threw on the emergency brake, clamp ing it down so hard that the lever broke. This accident, however, es caped the notice of the driver, and all members of the party who were not thrown from the machine piled out to see what was the matter. It was discovered that the driver had be come frightened and thought he was about to run over a fallen tree. All laughed merrily and there was much joking. When all had clambered aboard and the engines had started, the driver put on the clutch. The machine re fused to budge. Again and again an effort was made to get the machine in motion, but when the clutch was Jammed on the engines stopped and someone suggested that the gasoline had given out. A consultation was held, and a searching party was sent out to get gasoline. No gasoline was to be found, but several gallons of kerosene were secured at a negro's house and hastily poured into the tanks. More efforts were made to get the machine in motion, without avail. In the befuddled brain of one of the members of the party, a happy Idea took birth—to telephone for a wreck ing outfit. The rescuing car arrived in due time, and the attendant at once saw what the difficulty tvas. There was kerosene mixed with the gasoline in the tanks. He quickly emptied the tanks, to put in more un adulterated gasoline. The adulterated contents of the tanks had been spilled all over the ground immediately un der the machine. OH Burned Fiercely. Someone struck a light that the work of the expert might be conducted with due expediteness. The match burned short, and was hastily thrown to the ground. In a moment that por tion of the ground underneath the ma chine resembled, in mild form, the eruption of Mt. Pelee. The rescuing machinist had his eyebrows singed off, and hastily scrambled from under the machine. It was apparent in a moment that the machine would be burned If It was not moved. Every member of the party put a shoulder to the wheel, fig uratively, and commenced shoving. The machine would not budge. The wheels were locked by the emergency brake. The situation was gnowing serious. What Sulphur Does For the Human Body in Health and Disease, The mention of sulphur will recall to many of us the early days when our mothers and grandmothers gave us our daily dose of sulphur and molasses every spring and fall. It was the universal spring and fall "blood purifier,” tonic and cure all, and mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was not without merit. The idea was good, but the remedy was crude and unpalatable, and a large quantity had to be taken to get any effect. Nowadays we get all the beneficial effects of sulphur in a palatable, con centrated form, so that a single grain is far more effective than a table- Bpoonful of the crude sulphur. In recent, years, research and ex periment have proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use is that ob tained from Calcium (Calcium Sul phide) and sold in drug stores under the name of Stuart's Calcium Wafers. They are small chocolate coated pel lets and contain the active medicinal principle of sulphur in a highly con centrated. effective form. Few people are aware of the value of this form of sulphur In restoring and maintaining bodily vigor and health; sulphur acts directly on the liver, and excretory organs and puri fies and enriches the blood by the prompt elimination of waste material. Our grandmothers knew this when they dosed us with sulphur and mo lasses every spring and full, but the crudity and impurity of ordinary flowers of sulphur were often worse than the disease, and cannot com pare with the modern concentrated preparations of sulphur, of which Etuart’s Calcium Wafers is undoubt edly the best and most widely used. They nre the natural antidote for liver and kidney troubles and cure constipation and purify the blood In a way that oft"n surprises patient und physician alike. Dr. R, M. Wilkins while experi menting with sulphur remedies soon found Unit the sulphur from Calcium v/as superior to nny other form, lie #nv "For liver, kidney and blood troubles, especially when resulting from constipation or malaria, I hHve l*en sorpilsed si the results obtained from Ftuai t's Calcium Wafers.

Personal abuse don’t answer it. Let us see. “Speaking of the charge of corporate domination, the Atlanta Journal edi torially says; 'But true in the sense that the little inner ring, which by hook and crook has managed to keep on top so long, is absolutely under the influence of such corporate domi nation, and is evidently under agree ment to whip the rank and file of the popular representatives into line for the corporations whenever possible.” “In the Savannah Press of Dec. 21, in an editorial upon my interview', we find this language; 'The farts are, however, about as Mr. Osborne has stated them at the opening of the last Legislature.’ “I believe to-day that Democracy's sole danger is from the inside —from the mercenaries who by their acts make possible to-day a division of the white people of the state as a protest against their selfish manipulation. People AVill Knotv All. “Is not the harm incalculable that attends the presence in party lines of one who, if public opinion would per mit an advertisement of his business, would send out a card reading like this: “Bill Jones—Mercenary— “Legislative bills drawn, pigeon holed. amended out of all semblance, delayed, strangled or killed. "Democracy fooled, bam-boozled, teased, betrayed or steered up Salt Creek and left without a paddle. "Either side taken— Political influence bought, sold and exchanged. “Terms: Annual salary preferred, but will work by the job.” “The thing horrifies when one is plain-spoken. Don’t it? “So far this is as far as I have gone. But I am prepared to go further. I purpose to take the people into my confidence and reason it out with them. I say now that the question asked me by Morris relative to the conference in Mr. West's interest is pertinent and material. That Midsummer Conference. “But the story never excites inter est when you commence In the middle of the book. In a spirit of perfect fairness to the public. I suggest to Mr. Morris that we commence at the be ginning. and publish the whole story as a serial. “This story properly commences at a mid-summer conference in the year 1902. Mr. Morris will doubtless recall it very promptly when I remind him it was the conference w r hich resulted in the retirement of Mr. Steed from the speakership race, and the concen tration behind him of the forces that made his election possible. An in cident of this conference, I am relia bly informed, was the apportionment of certain high offices for years thence next ensuing. “Let us start the story here and I assign Mr. Morris to write the first chapter. I assign him to the task, because I was not present at the con ference. He was. The public is en titled to have the story first hand. I will then edit his remarks, take it up where he left off and bring it dow r n to the present time. “The first chapter should contain: First. The names of those present at the conference if it is deemed advisa ble, but the interests represented will answer Just as well. Second: The reasons advanced at this conference why Mitchell should be beaten. Third: The promises made Mr. Steed to pro cure his retirement. The article should be written in an open, frank dignified manner, and be free from abuse, in ordef to command respect and attention. Make It Lingering Death. "I shall not hurry Mr. Morris In his literary effort. I Intend to take a couple of short trips off during the holidays and will be otherwise engaged until the middle of next month. So I give him until JAn. 15, 1905, 'to do his part. “If he does not do so by that time, in the full acknowledgement that the great jury is to pass upon this ques tion is entitled to the facts, I shall myself write the chapter from in formation that has leaked out. I am in no hurry for a further reason. I don’t want the mercenaries put out of their misery too quickly. Let the punishment fit the crime. Make it a lingering death. “It will be observed that in this in terview I do not attempt to correct the many grave Inaccuracies which go to make up Mr. Morris’ tirade of personal abuse. The sole excuse is that this Interview is already too long. I must not tire nor becloud the issue with collateral matter. “I am waging an offensive warfare. Mr. Morris is not strong enough to put me on the defensive. “I content myself for the present with the statement that never at any time have I ever received a penny as a reward for political influence. This for my own satisfaction only. With the recognition tWat It does not ab solve me from my duty to the public and to myself to answer specifically at a later day. Truth Will Leak Oat. “Any matter personal to myself Is at present of minor consideration. When the shrill cry of the sentinel Is heard upon the still night air, warning the sleepers of the danger that menaces. It is not necessary nor is It safe to stop and eye critically the one that warns. If the danger impends, safety steps are the first consideration. “For the purposes of this controver sy It Is sufficient, if it be admitted, for the sake of the argument that all Mor ris has said about me be true, and all that has been said about Morris In the last year be true. If two such get to lighting it at once becomes interest ing to the honest country folks, for if the adage is true they are near com ing unto their portion. That is all they really care about. ‘T like Morris’ comments upon turn ing states’ evidence, thy ugh there is nothing forceful In his application. When a stink smells to the highest heavens, so as to become a common nuisance, It is not 'turning state's evidence’ to make a eusuVil comment It, even though ll (hies St tr Up trouble. I am reasonably sure the public will observe the first instance of turning state's evidence, when Mr. Morris gives up the inside of his con ference. flrnrllt to Profile, "Now to wh-it purpose is all this?

This is the gist of the whole business. “Let the People Awake.” “Let the people awake. Let them in quire who are the candidates? What are their records? “With whom did they 'train’ dur ing any legislative careers they may have had? “Who are the supporters of each candidate? And, lastly, who do the mercenaries want? “Then let them select someone with no entangling alliances. I shall then be content. "But they say I am actuated by selffish motive: I do this to gratify political ambition. "Maybe I shall believe so myself whenever one of those I attack point out a case in history from the day when the Master bore his own cross up to this present time, where one ever posed as a reformer to his per sonal material benefit. “Until then I shall allow such abuse to pass me by as harmlessly as a summer breeze.” SHALL BILBO CANAL REMAIN AN OPEN DITCH? Editor Morning News: I read with considerable interest Dr. LeHardy’s let ter relating to Bilbo canal, and I Have also read your editorial in this morn ing’s News, upon the same subject. Both Dr. LeHardy’s letter and your editorial would be on the proper line, provided your basis of argument were sound, but as a rrfatter of fact neither of you seem to have taken into con sideration that there is a large por tion of the city of Savannah without house drainage which must of neces sity use Bilbo canal. Take all of the southeastern portion of the city of Savannah lying east of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad tracks and there is no house drainage, except what leads Into Bilbo canal, and this would be sufficient to maintain a nuis ance and a menace to health, which Has been so often discussed. The great difficulty about a mktter of this kind is that the average citizen does not inform himself before giving expression upon so important a subject. Many years ago a committee of citi zens was appointed by the Mayor and Aldermen to act with a committee from Council looking to a means of getting rid of Bilbo canal. The committee met from time to time, made a very thorough investigation and submitted its report. The report is no doubt to day in the files of the clerk of Council. I was a member of that committee, and I am quite well informed as to what i\As done. When the city provided for house drainage it left out the south eastern portion, upon the theory that it would be necessary to use a pump ing station if that section were in cluded; hence we go on from year to year and nothing IS done, and every time the subject is mentioned or brought to the attention of the citizens, some one attempts to deal wit.i the matter but faiiS to base his aiguuients upon conditions as they exist; hence people are In almost every agitation of the question unintentionally misled. There is a wide difference of opinion as to whether Bilbo canal is more dangerous open than closed, but let this be as it may, it is a disgrace to any city of the importance of Savannah to allow an open sewer such as Bilbo canal flow through a section of the city over which nearly every man, woman and child passes sometime dur ing the year. Nearly all the suburban resorts are reached via Savannah Electric Company, which crosses the most objectionable point of this open sbwer, and unless Council takes some notice of the matter and makes a sub stantial move to remove the nuisance by closing or otherwise, It will of ne cessity do in the future what it has in the past—deter the growth and up building of the southeastern portion of Savannah, to say nothing of the effect w’hich it has upon the entire com munity. The danger from Bilbo canal as far as health is concerned effects in a very slight degree the health of Collinsville and the Meadows, or any portion of the city lying east of the canal, for the reason that In warm weather, when the danger Is greatest, the winds are from the southeast and drives the odor which Is so objectionable west of the canal; hence a very large portion of the city, and especially the eaatern portion, west of the tracks of the At lantic Coast Line, suffers much more limn that portion lying east of the tracks. It Is a crying shame nnd dis grace to permit thla open sewer to re main open longer. I fully appreciate the fact that It takes a considerable outlay to do the work; hence the Mayor end Aldermen hesitate to make the expenditure. Slid yet there is no work of more linpoi ianen to the coininuiilly, It has lieeu a long time aline | have raised my vole* to deal with this question, be (autie I have felt from year ta year ttrat the authorities would see the Im pel tain’* of giving the matter their at ientPHi, hut unless nan* move Is made 1 apprehend that matters wiU go oil in the futuia aa they have In the peat - that ta to say, about the time oris Mayor and Council l(**aifamiiter sHb nastdllkots they are euis-eeded by another, and all of the argument* have to b# renewed and all tire rogdlUmrs MUSINGS OF A BARBER. “I suppose I have shaved about twelve acres of face," remarked a Bull street barber to a customer a day or two ago. “I have been shav ing ten years and I base my calcula tion on an average of a little over an acre of face a year. “Yes. that may seem a peculiar way to count what I've accomplished in the shaving line. Now, as to the com bined length of neck I’ve shaved and trimmed I reckon if stretched out in a straight line they would make about twenty-five miles. I do not mean to say that a man with twelve acres of face would necessarily have twenty five miles of neck. Necks are as dif ferent as can be imagined. “The amount of hair that has fallen Into my clutches would weigh I should Judge about two tons. No, I throw it away, though, perhaps, you are right in saying I might make some thing extra by selling it for plaster. Shampoos and massages I have never calculated. Nowever, they should be measured by horsepower. One mas sage, not electrical, which would be counted by the watt the resistance of one ohm, I reckon, as representing one-tenth of one horsepower.” “If a face as large as the compo site of all I’ve done in the tonsorial way had presented itself at the out set of my career for attention my la ter feelings would have been spared. I certainly would have been fright ened out of the calling.” bethesda'boyTare - NOT FORGOTTEN. The chairman of the stewards of the Union Society, Mr. A. S. Nichols, has received through Mr. H.

But it is perfectly feasible, and I think proper for Coun cil to provide for doing this work by degrees. Let it have plans prepared for the covering of this canal and do a part of the work each year until it is finished. In this way the work can be paid for without any increase in taxation and ultimately would get rid of what I consider a disgrace and nuisance, If not a menace to -health. I have hesitated to write upon this subject for the reason that it is a weli known fact that I am personally in terested in the southeastern portion of the city and have not wished to be placed in the position of advocating any public work, and have my acts misconstrued to mean that my efforts were simply in the' interest of the property which I own east of the Bil bo canal; but one thing is certain, the taxpayers and citizens living east of the Atlantic Coast Line tracks are entitled to some consideration at the hands of the city fathers. If the cost of a house drainage sys tem is greater than that of covering Bilbo canal, then the city authorities should not hesitate to cover the ca nal and thus give a safe method of sewerage, else they should proceed without delay to give to the people living east of the Atlantic Coast Line tracks a house drainage system. At present about the only house drainage In that section of the city is that which I. as president of the real estate com pany, put down and paid for and that when I sold the streets and lanes to the city of Savannah, passed into the control of the city. Other than this there is no drainage of any character, so that you will see that when Dr. LeHardy or yourself touch upon some of the important points connected with this agitation for the covering of Bilbo canal you have failed to note the most Important condition. I am in no sense disposed to com plain of the city authorities for not having dealt with this matter long ago. because I am well aware of the fact that there is no one alderman in a dozen who ever gives this matter more than very little thought. The fact is they know nothing about It ex cept in a passing way, but as I am confident that It Is your purpose to present every public matter In the proper light, I determined to give you the facts as they exist, and trust that you will give space to this commu nication, Jacob S. Collins. PURCHASED NEW PACK OF HUNTING HOUNDS. A neiv pack of hounds has Just been acquired by the Chatham Hunt Club from a gentleman In North Georgia.
