ture has been from s. to 100 below normal

vannah district yesterday was S6', which
was several degrees higher than some of
the other districts. The cities reported as
follows: Atlanta 820, Augusta S6', Charles
ton S4'. Jacksonville so, Norfolk 76' and
Wilmington S20.
West Of the Mississippi the temperature
was about normal In the north and west

cotton, will prevent its development and
will prevent anything like a rush to the
market inside the next week.

LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE.

The Morning News Trade Review.
Never in the business history of Savannah
has there been greater necessity for the
coming trade review of the MORNING NEWS
illustrating Savannah and her enterprises
than at present.
Savannah is the great seaport city of the
state 1t is the gateway to the sea. The
products Of vast territory empty them
selves here. Here are the headquarters of
the vast Central railroad system, per-
meating every nook and corner of Georgia,
Alabama and South Carolina. Here is the
terminus Of the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway, bringing all Florida and
Southern Georgia to our very doors, and
now extending itself to the heart of Ala
bama, drawing tribute for the city from
that prosperous state.
Savannah has now a new outlet to the
timber lands and cotton fields lying along
the Savannah, Americas and Montgomery
and Savannah and Western roads. Along
all these roads are cities and towns and
villages. The trade of these should be Sc
cured for this city. Train their merchants
to trade with Savannah. Advertise our
city and ourselves, and let them know what
Savannah merchants can do.
The Trade Review, going everywhere,
finding every village, seeking every bust
ness man, at once introduces the city and
her business men. 1t aids the -ummse on
lis rounds. 1t tells our new acquaintance
in the recently opened territory where we
are and what we are. Such trade issue is
directory, guide.
This is an age of reading. People look in
the newspapers to find what they want.
Cannot our business men, arising to the
hight Of Savannah's bright future, aid in
making this trade review a great mirror,
rejecting to the business world our beautiful
city in all her glory?
This is Savannah's golden opportunity to
turn the tide of travel and trade to her own
doors, and thus secure the advantages which
nature and the sagacity of business men
have given her.
| Every merchant in Savannah should be
represented in the columns of this issue.
The cost is small; the returns great Full
information will be furnished on applica-
ton to the BUSINESS OFFICE telephone, 364.

Captain Blun's Claim for Commissions
Causes a Lot of Gossip.

Causes a Lot Of Gossip.
The difference between Capt. Henry Blum
and the other bondholders OF the Savannah
and Atlantic railway, arising from Capt.
Blun's bill against the railway for 1920
commissions on the sale of the road, was the
subject of a great deal of comment
among the business men of the city yes
terday.
The question whether a broker is entitled
TO commissions for sales made for a com
pauy or association of which he is mem
Der is a very interesting one. Ii all hinges
on whether he sells as broker or as di-
rector or member Of the company.
The other bond holders of the Savan nah
aud Atlantic railway are unanimous in their
declaration that Capt. Blum sold as
director, and that there was no intiination
on his part of his intention to charge
commission. They now regard the resolu-
ton presented by Capt Blum appointing
him TO negotiate the sale as plot 10 entrap
them. The bill was presented against the
Savannah and Atlantic railway when in
reality the railway company had no CON
nection with the matter, and the indebted
ness. If any, is upon the bondho.ders.
The bondholders are positive that they
will not pay Capt. Blum one cent Of COM
missions, and the only thing he can do is 10
sue each and every one of them individ-
ually.
The bondholders have the laugh on Capt.
Blum, because, after notifying the Central
railroad bank that he would hold the
S23. 100 worth of bonds deposited there
responsible for his commissions, he after
ward signei the bond with the other direct
ors indemnifying the cashier in case his
claim should prove valid, aud took his
share of the bonds, which were divided
among the directors. Further developments
are awaited with interest.
