A BIG CORNER LOT
r lhe secret of a successful real estate venture is to obtain a large
amount of frontage. '1 hen, when your land increases in value so much
per front toot it amounts to something.
We are offering the corner of Washington and Fair streets, 192 1-2x227,
*‘* r 000. r i his figures up about $155 a front foot. An increase in value
or $;>(».00 a foot would amount to nearly SIO,OOO protit—a substantial sum
ot money
Is such an increase to be expected? Trinity church paid $3lO a foot
for the corner of Washington and Trinity.
1 he property we offer is unencumbered, and we can make easy terms.
It ns one of those rare opportunities that occasionally confront a buyer.

SAVANNAH, GA.. Nov. 3". Today's
sess t >n of th- South Georgia .Methodi-t
conference was enlivened by the report
of the committee on temperance and
social reforms. Rev. c M. Ledbetter,
chairman, which paid its respects to the
divorce evil, the white slave traffic and
the illegal sale of intoxicants.
The report was drastic in its recom
mendations to ehurch people to check
the growing tendency to divorce and
the corresponding lowering of the moral
tone of the country, anil called upon
the congress of governors and the
Southern Socirdogical congress to use
their influence in having a law passed
by the national congress regulating the
granting of divorce.-; in all the states.
The report also dealt without gloves
with the traffic in girls and young
women, and held the parents in part re
sponsible for the downfall of their
daughters because of the hesitation in
informing them of the dangers they
face. The report denounced automobil-
Ing as leading tn the wrong direction,
tile fascination for this amusement
causing girls to go out with strange
men. It also denounced the acceptance
of unknown and untried men into the
social life of the homes.
To Accept Blackshear School.

BOARD APPROVES
REFORMATORY
FOR KN
Advanced System of Caring
For Female Criminals and
Juveniles Agreed Upon.
A refonnutory plan for female an i
juvenile offenders which will rival the
most advanced system of its kind in
th" United States was agreed upon ten
tativ, ly b> a majority of the members
of the Fulton county commission todaj
The s. ond step in the new reforma
tory system was taken by the commit
tee ( ,n public works this morning, whet
it was decided to acquire land for ar.
adult reformatory’ to be modeled on th
cottage -ysiem. While the site for til'
proposed institution has not been se
lected, <'ommissioners Anderson, Smith
and Waters unanimously agreed that
the establishment of such an institu
tion had become a necessity.
Judge Calhoun Upheld,
Marion Jackson. John J. Eagan and
Philip Weltnei. representing the Men
and Religion Forward movement, ap
peared before the commissioners and
explained that under rite county’s penal
system there was no place to house
. adult female offenders.
"Judge Calhoun,” said Mr. Jackson
“lias r,-lused time and time again to
send women criminals to the stockade
, and he is right. A judge who would
send a. white woman there should be
impeached."
He called the commissioners' atten
tion to the fact that Judge Calhoun re
cently gave a woman a twelve months
. sentence and then went before Govern
or Brow n and asked for a commuta
tion because there was no place In Ful
ton county to send her.
No Place for White Woman.
Under the present system, the county
has an institution for negro women
near the Fulton county almshouse, but
no similar place has been established
for white women. The Men and Re
ligion Forward movement and the va
rious corrective homes have been car
| ing for women given suspended sen
tences, but have, been unable to look
after the incorrigibles.
By the action of the committee the
commission has settled upon a. definite
; policy , ami the land for a female re
. formatory will be acquired as soon as
possible.
! The alms and juvenile committee re
cently bought 43S acres of land for c
i i eforimitory tor negro boys sent up
from the < hlldren’s court. The county
already li.i.s in operation a reformatoryr
. for white boys, and it is understood
. that an effort will be made to establish
t a reformatory for white girls.
QUITS SECOND WIFE
TO PERMIT HER TO
TAKE NEW HUSBAND
NEW YORK. Nov. 30.-—Robert M. Ul
mer. a traveling salesman, made the
i “amende honorable” in the supreme
court by testifying that he had two
. wives, so that his second wife, Mrs. Eva
J. Ulmer, could obtain an annulment of
their marriage and marry’ another man
rimer testified that in 1893 he mar
ried Miss Otelia Reed. After a shore
married life they separated. The de
fendant said lie heard that Mrs. Ulmer
No. I had left New York. He wrote her
letti s. but never received a response.
Then Ulmer concluded that his wife was
- dead.
Ulmer became acquainted with the
young woman who appeared as the
plaintiff in 1904, when she was sixteen
years old. They were married in Ho
boken, and lived together happily until
1909 Then one day they were out
walking, when a young woman bowed
to Ulmer. "Who was that woman?”
asked Mrs. I Imer No. 2. “Oh, tiiat was
my first wife. I thought she was dead "
