sTATE ROAD BETTERMENTs.

A Probability That the Decision Will
be in Favor of the State.
ATLANTA, GA, May 22.-The betterments
commission met this morning and has been
in session all day without reaching a con-
clusion. The decision drawn up by Chair
man Hammond was read but the commits
sioners have not yet disposed of it. The
conference was held with closed doors. 1t
is stated that the work of the commissioners
will be concluded by o'clock tomorrow

sum allowed for betterments will be small.
The commissioners all decline to furnish the
slightest information as to the probable out
come of the pending conference.

ATLANTA. GA, May 22-Evangelist Cul-

thore was an honest and good man, by
whose decision in regard to his vulgar
lectures he would be willing to abide. DR..
Hawthorne was seen to-day. He said.
alluding to Mr.. Culpepper: az believe that
he committed a very serious and mis-
chievous error in using the language which
he is reported to have used in his sermons
to men only. The language was
not only unbecoming the pulpit.
but the proposition which he
submitted to his congregation was still
more unbecoming a religious service. 1t
wounded the sensibility of the most exem-
plary and devoted Christian people of the
community. Such utterances are taken MP
by foul hearts and filthy lips, aud are used
for the delectation of lovers of vulgarity
and inGecency. / trust that Mr.. Culpepper
will see his error and not repeat it."

BRUNSWICK. GA, May 22.-The article
In to-day's Savannah News criticising the
decision of the judges in the Knights of
Pythias drill has occasioned unfavorable
comment among local knights. The state
ment made by the Savannah knights to the
effect that the Brunswick Times conceded
the first prize to Savannah is incorrect,
the Times having spoken decidedly in favor
Of Brunswick. The judges are men too
we'll known for integrity and honor to need
defense. Their decision was honestly and

FACTS ABOUT LAND.
A REMINDER OF THE PAST.

Frequently in these columns, in the past the
writer has called attention to the low prices at
which lands were selling in this county.
The statement was often made that in cities
of very much less commercial Importance, with
much smaller population and almost no pros
poets for the future, acreage property was COM
handing much larger figures than in this
county.
The prophecy was made that an appreciation
of this state of things would some day illumine
the minds Of parties who would "gobble" up
the land and very decided advance in prices
would follow.
This has happened, aud those who stood aside
and did not invest are realizing what fools tCe
mortals be"
This absorption of lands has been confined to
a circle of but few miles Immediately around
the city Lands outside of that circle have
been as greatly neglected as any other class
ever was in the past.
Individuals and syndicates have gone daft on
the subject of town lots.
They have forgotten that God made the
country and man made the town
No provision is being made for the large class
of buyers who cannot and will not live in the
city.
careful merchant keeps stock assorted to
suit all kinds of demands.
The land company which mixes up with its
town lots a sprinkling of farms and acre prop.
erty must prove the most successful.
The next five years will find more prosperous
small farms around Savannah, owned by men
who do business in the city, than was ever be-
fore known in it's history.
Observation and little consideration will
convince doubters that these are facts.

WHERE Is sT. ANNRl
Is the Question Now Disturbing the Cor
munity

Is the Question Now Disturbing the Com
munity.
The interest awakened by the announcement
that would sell 64s acres of land at the court
house on June shows conclusively that large
bodies Of land are seldom on the market.
The shrewd investors have been literally
securing the woods" and picking up these
large tracts
AS a matter of fact the real estate men can
not supply even small farms or tracts of land
within ten miles of the city
The demand for small farms is increasing
every day. There are many parties who never
expect to farm, yet who would like to own a
few acres, when values are sure to increase.
Just such place is St. Anne. 1t is south by
west OF the city in the section bounded on the
east by the White Bluff road, and on the west by
the Savannah, Florida and Western railway.
The first flag station on this road, about six
miles from the city. is quite convenient to the
and and would be the shipping point for settlers
In st. Anne.
This is grand piece of land to be handled by
small company which would meet the de-
mand for small farms and give easy terms to
purchasers.
This has been done with great success by par
ties all around the city, until the available land
has been exhausted.
There is a very heavy growth Of timber on
portions Of this land which, being SO near the
city, would prove valuable source of revenue.
Only one-third of the purchase money will
be required in cash, while long time will be
given if desired on the balance
