terestlng to know that so capable a
leader as Mr. Dixon is at the helm of
Savannah's new newspaper.”
Mr. A. R. Sharton, publisher of the
New York Journal of Commerce, lead
ing financial and mercantile news
paper of the East < ffered: "My sin
cerest b:st wishes to Mr. King Dixon
and his pap.r for a prosperous and
distinguished career. Newspapermen
and advertisers the country over will
undoubtedly be pleased to learn that
the historic but progressive city of
Savannah is now being served by a
new evening journal. I sincerely hope
that The Times will carry with it th?
loyal support of the readers of Sa
vannah.’’
John G. Ryan, news editor of News
dom, weekly organ of the newspaper
industry’, said: ‘‘Newspapermen will
be gratified to learn of Mr. Dixon’s
new venture. It Is an undeniable sign
of improving times and one which Mr.
Dixon has shown no hesitancy in tak
ing advantage of with a true pioneer
ing spirit. More than this, it is an
encouraging symbol to all members of
the craft to know that in an era of
consolidation and mergers when ven
erable dailies are fast vanishing, it is
possible in an important city of the
mtlon to start afresh, bringing new
ideas and talent to bear on th: many
local and national problems confront
ing us today. It is a pleasure to con
gratulate The Tim:s and Mr. Dixon
on taking their places with leading
newspapers and newspapermen all
over the country.”
Dr. Henry Bailey Rathbone, chair
man of the department of journalism
at New York university stated: “In
this age of high-sp ed news activity it
is especially gratifying to learn of the
inauguration of a new daily compe
titive newspaper in a large city such
as Savannah. The benefits of a new
conscientious and al rt newspaper will
no doubt stimulate the local situation
and the city of Savannah will as a
result be the gainer.”
Called Sacred Trust
Mr. G. C. Lucas, secretary of the
National Publishers’ Association, said:
“I wish Mr. Dixon and his newspaper
all possible success. America c.nnot
have too many good newspapers in
times such as these. The people of
the country look to their newspapers
for clear and intelligent interpreta
tion of the news of the day and it
has been the sacred trust of newspa
pers to fulfill this obligation. I sin
cerely trust that The Savannah
Times in living up to the best tradi
tions of a precious heritage will bring
distinction not only to itself but to
the city it now serves.”
Dr. Fredericks B. Robinson, presi
dent of the municipally operated col
lege of the city of New York, said:
"A new newspaper is always very
much on trial during its early stages.
There is the tremendous responsibil
ity of moulding public opinion, of
exposing corruption, of providing
readers with good, clean and instruc
tive material. There is no doubt that
Publisher Dixon knows very well
what he is doing and that the citi
zens of Savannah may expect their
new dailj' to fill the dual roll of com
munity chronicle and beacon."
The advertising club of New York,
of which Grover A. Whalen, the
city's “official greeter” and chairman
of the World’s Fair committee is a
prominent member, stated: “The ad
vertising club of New York is interest
ed in learning of the entrance of
The Times into the daily evening
‘field in Savannah and takes this op
portunity of extending felicitations to
the management.”

Mrs. T. Morgan was fined $2 on
the charge of driving an automobile
without a city permit and dismissed
on charges of reckless driving of a
car at Live Oak and Victory Drive,
thereby running into and injuring
Mrs. Peter S. Deßoberts, and leav
ing the scene of the accident.
According to the testimony. Mrs.
Deßoberts was riding a bicycle on
Victory Drive and Mrs. Morgan was
driving a car on the same thorough

hit Mrs. Deßoberts’ bicycle throwing
the cyclist to the street as both ve
hicles turn'd into Live Oak street.
Mrs. Deßoberts’ suffered a slight in

and the Morgan car stopped a short
distance from the accident. Queries
of attorneys developed that Mrs. De-

pletely e’estroyed a vacant four-room
frame dwelling, owned by the Estate
