TALKS WITH PIANO BUYERS.
No. Q.

By this time you have probably made up
your mind that you need not let slip the
chance to buy an instrument on account Of
not feeling able to afford the cash outlay.
You have read our Talk No. l and have
satisfied yourself that it is both easy and
so fe 10 buy on the installment plan. Such
beng the case, let Us say a word about the
kind Of instrument you ought to buy.
There are few things about which the BUSH
ness man knows less than The actual merits
of piano. He may be an excellent Judge
of the value Of all household furniture.
may be thoroughly posted in the values Of
real estate, may be able 30 build house
economically, may be quite capable of rem
dering valuable assistance in artistic fur
nishiEg of home, but when he comes TO a
piano he has to confess his ignorance. Still
we beg 20 assure you that his lack OF
knowledge Of this subject is not half as
dense as that Of many of the people who
actually deal in pianos, and whose praise
Of a particular instrument is guaged by the
profit they expect to gain upon it. Please
don't consider us vain when we say that
this is not and nerer has been the case with
Ludden 81 Bates Southern Music House.
We have always considered it essential to
our business success that we have an inti-
mate end expert knowledge Of the musical
and mech snical value OF the Instruments
We Represent, ami We endeovor to give pur-
chasers the benefit Of this knowledge as far
as they will accept Of it. Call and ask US a
few questions. You will find expers
mechanic ready to take o piano apart in
your presence and explain the value of its
construction. You win fad competent
judges Of musical tone quality ready to
give you their assistance in making a selec-
ton, and when you have found q piano to
suit,you will have the express guaranty OF a
business house with reputation to main
tain. that should any possible latent defect
show itself. you will have it made good
promptly and cheerfully. 1t will be safe
for you TO see US before you buy.

oLUBBRO BY a POLICEMAN.
Countryman Beaten Into Inssnsi-

Countryman Beaten Into Inssnsi-
bility at rybee.
The only feature which marred the pleas
ure Of the Fourth at rybee was an assault
made by Policeman Australian" Kelly
upon J. b. Sykes Of Dodge county.
According to the statements Of numerous
eye-witnesses Sykes was lying asleep on one
Of the benches at Lanes Ocean View
pavilion. Kelly went on the platform and
began beating the sleeper on the soles Of
bis feet to awake him. Sykes jumped up
and threw his hands above his head. As he
arose from the bench Kelly dealt him a
blow on the head and followed it quickly
with another. The victim Of the assault fell
unconscious and bleeding to the floor
Quite crowd of people witnessed the as
sault and started toward the scene. Kelly,
seeing the crowd coming toward him, made
himself scarce In a hurry. Sykes was picked
up and carried into the hotel office, where
several ladies bathed bis head to stop the
flow Of blood. This result would not have
been obtained but for the assistance of a
physician, who shaved the mans head and
closed the wounds with plaster. Sykes vas
unconscious for over an hour. and whom
seen by MORNING News reporter about
q O'Clock he had considerable fever and
seemed 70 be suffering much pain. He was
brought to tina city for treatment.
Kelly did not deny the assault when ques~
toned, bur claimed in extenuation of his
conduct that Sykes punched him in the side
when he awoke him. This statement was
denied by witnesses Of the affair. They said
the nan made no attempt TO strike the
policeman.
Justice Reynolds, who vas on the island.
issued warrant for Kelly, charging him
with assault and battery. The warrant was
Issued at the instance Of Proprietor
Lane Of the Ocean View. Officer Dunno
arrested Kelly. but he was released on a
bond Of $500, given by one Of Tybse's alder
men.
The assault was the topic Of talk on the
/ islr.nd during the afternoon. So indignant
| were the people that fund OF over $50 was
raised in few minutes tp employ counsel
to assist Solicitor General Fraser
in the prosecution of Kelly. Thomas S.
Morgan, Jr., ESQ.,, has been employed, and
he will prosecute the policeman. Mr.. Nor
gan was on the island when the assault took
place.
II is understood that charges Will be fled
with Mayor Ulmer against Kelly, and a
request will be made for his dismissal from
the force.

TIE BEACH RACES.
The Flyers Make Quick Time on the
Sand.

The Flyers Make Quick Time on the
Sand.
The races we're big drawing card. Al
though tie time Of day at which tue events
to k place was exceedingly warm, crowds
of people, including many ladies, stood on
the beach and watched the exciting sport
with enjoyment.
The first event called was the free-for-all
trot Susong and Claymore we're the
starters. Susoug won Ia three straight
heats. Claymore acted badly, and did net
give SusOng a race in any Of the heats
The running race-quarter- heats
was next on the card, and proved most ex-
citing. Red Jim, Dandy and LaTcsca we're
the contestants Red Jim won
easily and established himself as one
Of the best running horses in
Savannah. Before he fell into the hands of
Jemes Furlong he was the property Of the
well-known hOrsemau, Thomas McMurray
Of Jacksonville, Fla. La Tosca became I'M
manageable, and, throwing the negro rider.
took TO the woods at two-ninute gait. 1t
was over an hour before the horse was re-
captured.
The most notable event Of the day was
the battle between the two favorites Pat
Fatl1n and Minnie s. These two PAGERS
showed up in fine form. w. T. Burch was
pebluu rhAlOu ana minnie D Da1 James II.
Furlong in the sulky. Fallon won the first
heat without any trouble. Minnie y.
captured the second This heat
was hotly contested and furnished
one Of the most remarkable contests that
has been seen in long time. The finish
was close and exciting. Many thought it
was going TO be dead heat In the last
hundred yards both drivers gave a fine OK
hibition Of craftsmanship. Burch might
have won If he had begun TO drive sooner,
but be waited too long and Furlong landed
Minnie S. IN frolt by neck.
This heat seemed to settle the mare, as
Pat won the two next heats easily and the
race. There is no question now but Fallon
is the king Of the Savannah
turf. The title is his beyond dispute
Fallon is owned by Proprietor Powers Of
the De Soto, who is a great lover Of horse
flesh. He has had Falloa for several years,
and the stallion has steadily increased his
speed since coming to Savannah.
W. NJ. Burch and A. p. Doyle. who man
aged the events at the island, deserve con-
siderable credit for the varied and interest
ing entertainment furnished tho people.
