Real Estate For Sale.
A BIG CORNER LOT i
The secret of a successful real estate venture is to obtain a large
amount of frontage. Then, when your land increases in value so much ;
per front foot it amounts to something.
V\ e are offering the corner of Washington and Fair streets, 192 1-2x227,
lor $30,000. This figures up about $155 a front foot. An increase in value
of $50.90 a foot would amount to nearly SIO,OOO profit—a substantial sum
of money.
Is such an increase to be expected? Trinity church paid $3lO a foot
for tin; corner of Washington and Trinity.
The property we offer is unencumbered, and we can make easy terms.
It is one of those rare opportunities that occasionally confront a buyer.

CHURCH DEMANDS
SOCIAL REFORMS
South Georgia Methodists De
nounce Divorces, ‘‘White
Slavery” and Other Evils.
SAVANNAH. GA., Nut. 30 Today's;
I sesson of the South Georgia Methodist
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 Church people to cheek
the growing tendency to divorce and
tlie corresponding lowering of the mora l
tone of tlie country, and called upon
the congress of governors and the
Southern Sociological congress to use
their influence in having a law passed
by the national congress regulating the
granting of divorces in all tlie 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
tng as leading in the wrong direction,
the fascination for this amusement
causing girls to go out witli strange
men. It also denounced the acceptance
of unknown and untried men into tlie
social life of the homes.
To Accept Blackshear School.
The board of education recommend
ed the acceptance on the part of the
conference of the offer of the Presby
terians of their institute, at Blackshear.
7he offer was made to the Waycross
district. The conference accepted tlie
school by a unanimous vote. Tlie prop
erty is wortli $60,000. It will cost the
conference about $25,000.

For Female Criminals andw

\ i ...x plan for female an
juvenile offender- which will rival th.-
ine-t. advanced system of its kind in
th I ni'..: Stares was (greed upon tel.
taiix. Iy by a-majority of the member,
of the Fulton county commission today
The . .>ml step in the new reforma
' tmy system was taken by the commit
I te. on public works this morning, wile'
it wa' decided to acquire laud for a.:
adult n orinatory to be. modeled on th’
cottage . stem. While tlie site for the
proposed -titution has not been se
lected. -i.-shnieis Anderson, Smith
and AVaters i nanimously agreed that
the establishment of such an institu
lt.i"n had becom.. a necessity.
Judge Calhoun Upheld.
.Marlon Jackson. John J. Eagan and
Philip Wellner, representing the Men
and Religion 1 n-ward movement, ap
peared before the commissioners and
explained that under the county's penal
system there was no place to house
adult female offenders.
"Judge Calhoun,” said Mr. Jackson
"baa refused 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
eently gave a woman a twelve months
sentence and then went before Govern,
or Brown and asked for a commuta
tion because there was no place In Ful
ton county to send her.
No Place for White Woman.
I nder the present system, the county
has an institution for negro women
near tlie 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 loot
after the incorrigibles.
By the action of tlie committee tin
commission has settled upon a definite
i policy, and the land for a female re
. formatory will be acquired as soon a:
possible.
! 1 lie alms and juvenile committee re-
eently bought 438 acres of land for o
