A PAYING BusINzs s.

Truck Gardeners Making Big Money.
A scarcity OF Land limits the In
dustry.
Potatoes at $40 per barrel, beans at S.
Der crate, Strawberries at 20 cents per
quart, and all other truck products at
equally good prices, cause the farmers to
wear a very genial smile. These prices
mean increased wealth for Chatham
county, and decided increase in the float
ing currency.
The real estate men report constant in
CURRY for garden lands from persons living
in different portions Of this and adjoining
states and from the west and east
There seems to be very little land Of this
Character on the market. Syudicates have
given what seem to be- high prices for the
truck farms Immediately around the city
and made building lots of them. The
truck farmers have been obliged to go a
little beyond for farms. This sort of move
ment has absorbed much of the available
land. Syndicates, not satisfied with this
ABSORPTION OF lands near the city, are push
ing out and trying to anticipate the demand
for farming lands, which is growing
greater every year.
Chatham county is bound to become a
great producer Of early vegetables, and of
certain fruits which do well here certain
and frequent transportation is a necessity
with truck growers. No portion of the
south enjoys such excellent Shipping facili-
ties as We have here. Very soon there will
be daily line of splendid ships to New
York, the line being now ri-weekly-be-
sides the ships to Baltimore, Boston and
Philadelphia.
Our rail facilities cannot be excelled.
Every day in the ear truck can be shipped
by ventilated cars to any point In the east
and north and as far west by direct aud
close connection to Cincinnati and kansas
City.
1t Is astonishing that with such soil aud
such climate aud such facilities that men
should plod behind counters and at desks
when such chances are open to them. There
is no country in the world where living
and chances for wealth are to be had with
so little exertion.-Ad.

Issues Of Life and Death.

Probably few people reallze that the arti-
cles used in prescription departments are
applied much more directly TO the issues of
life and death than any other class of mer-
chandise, and that no matter how much sx-
pert skill is exercised by the physician it
may be defeated by inferior quality of
drugs used, by deterioration of good quality
through long or careless keeping, or by
want of care or skill on the part of the dis
penser. Il Is therefore for the interests of
patients and physicians that their medical
supplies should be of standard quality and
sklllfully compounded. In an interview
with Mr. Robert A. Rowlinski, pharmacist,
Broughton and Drayton streets, he strongly
presented the above and claimed to sub
serve these interests by dispensing that only
which he has verified by personal tests Of
identity and purity, by frequent renewals
OF stock. and by giving the compromising
OF prescriptions his personal attention; so
that everything is sent out in the best pos
Siole condition, and the too frequent does
not look like the mixture | had at
trs" is entirely done away with.
Attention was particularly called
to the triplicate prescription check,
lnsuring every customer the receipt
OF the proper medicine handed in to
be compounded, and a new feature of hav-
ing all poison contained in an electric
alarm cabinet, under lock and key. was
shown his analytical laboratory outAt-a
necessity in every well conducted phar~
macy-the most complete in the city, and
also several ASSAYS of medicinal preparations
under process, and the results obtained by
past tests and assays. His prescription and
analytical balances we're of the latest and
most delicate pattern, one, a Becker bal
ance, weighing accurately the three-hun-
dredth part Of grain. Especial attention
Is given family prescriptions and recipes
whose medicinal value depends entirely
upon the quality of the material and the
care exercised in the combination. He car
ries in stock rare chemicals aud pharmaceut-
ical preparations. all the standard patent
medicines, high grade foreign and domestic
perfumes, soap and powders. toilet ac-
cessories, etc. His telephone is 465.

Caps the Climax.

During the past few months the carriage
builders Of this city have been trying
themselves" Many handsome vehicles
have been turned out, and the streets are
filed with elegant carriages and wagons,
the results of home manufacture, and prom
inent among the grand display Of wagons
and trucks may be seen the familiar trade
mark Of "P. Barrett, Builder" Whenever
ones attention is attracted by an exception
ally fine vehicle, it generally bears the
name OF Barrett. The very latest pro,
duction of Barrett's, establishment is q de
livery wagon which was turned out yester-
day for Hermes' 20. K" bakery. This
wagon is "thing of beauty" There is
not vehicle of the kind anywhere that
will touch IL" in workmanship and finish.
The very best materials are used in its con-
struction and the painting is superb, being
beautifully decorated in pleasing colors and
tasty trimmings. The lettering is in gold
with carmine background, and the effect
is very striking. When it comes to hne
work P. Barrett takes the lead.-Ad.

THE CITY TAXING HOLD.
a Reform in Progress in the Drainege
Department.


Inspector Desyergers of the Citizens
Sanitary Association, in his report to the
committee on public health, says that more
attention is now being bestowed BY the city
authorities upon the drainage around the
city than has been for a number of years.
IL IS evident, he says, from the work done
since the appointment OF Mr.. Carmichael to
the superinteudency of drainage that a more
Intelligent and energetic management Of
the drainage department has commenced,
and that the city authorities have secured In
him an official who will not only advise them
intelligently as TO conditions, but who will
also see that efficient work is done in his de-
partment.
The inspector says the chairman of the
committee on drainage is evidently the
right man for the position, and the outlook
il that the city will now not only do It's part
toward keeping the low lands in a sanitary
condition, but 1t will also enforce on the
part OF individuals or corporations who are
responsible for the sanitary conditions of
lands under their control, proper attention
to drainage. and will also compel remedia
work wherever the drainage has been I'M
wsTrantably interfered with.
The chairman on drainage has had
thorough inspection made by the superin-
tsndent Of Hutchinson Island, and the COM
pany which recently purchased the cityis
propsrty on the island has been notified to
at once put it in a sanitary condition, or it
will be done by the city at the company's
expense.
The inspector in his report also called
attention to the fact that excavations have
been made In the city in a number of places
since April, for the purpose Of effocting the
removal of the obstructed sewer pipes or
their contents, aud that no disinfectans of
any kind is applied either to the soil
thrOTn out or the foul matter
taken from the pipes whilst the work
Is going on, and he says that the committee
on public health Of the association has suR-
gssted the expediency OF requiring the same
permits and precaution in matters of this
kind as in reference TO excavations for
sewer connections. lie also reports that he
has noticed that in the application Of lime
TO tho earth thrown out during the con-
struotion of street railway tracks the
quantity applied is hcmeopathically in-
fnitesimal.
The inspector 10 bis report also refers to
the condition Of the cemeteries. He says
that while Laurel Grove presents evidences
of being well kept, the old cemetery still
presents an aspect Of sad neglect and desola-
ton. Wandering among the scattered
fragments of its broken vaults
and tonbstones are several sheep,
who gaze wistfully through the
bars Of the iron gate to the entrance
at the goats complacently browsing on the
sward without, seemingly sensible Of
the discriminative legislation which permits
the goats to frisk about the streets and
over the public squares, luxuriating on
sprig and bud and flower, while they are
in the desolate nIacA

SUED FOR A $1,000 SUBS oRIpT.oN.
The Tybee Hotel Company's Suit
Against Capt. Henry Blum.

Against Capt. Henry Blum.
The city court was in session last night
until o'clock in the trial of the suit Of the
Tybee Hotel Company against Capt. Henry
Blum to compel him to pay a subscription of
$1,000 to the stock OF the hotel company.
Mayor McDonough, Alderman Herman
Myers, Maj. Jordan r. Brooks, J, G. Row
land, William Kehoe, G. II. Prsndergast
and James r. Sheldon were among the wit
nesses examined.
Capt. Blum claimed that he subscribed to
the stock of the hotel company VITA the
understanding that the hotel was TO be
erected on certain lots near his residence,
and when change of site was spoken of he
informed the board that IL the change was
made he would withdraw his subscription.
The gist OF the testimony for the hotel
company went to show that Capt Blum
acted with the board in the matter Of chang
ing the site, was with the committee when
the present location was picked out, knew,
or ought to have known that the hotel was TO
be erected thereon, and practically waived
all objection by his actions.
Col. George A. Mercer. Esq, who repre-
sented Capt. Blum, made az appeal to the
jury i'll behalf OF the rights of bis client.
and was followed by K. R. Richards, Esq,
In regard to the rights Of the hotel com>
pany.
At the conclusion of the arguments Judge
Harden announced that he would charge
the jury tomorrow morning, and dis
charged 1t until that time, with instructions
to the members to neither talk of or allow
themselves to be talked to about the case.
A good deal of interest Is being mani
tested in the suit, as it will establish prece-
dent. There was quite an attendance of
business men during the trial.

WHERE rRE CROWDS ASSEMBLE.
Saturday is "Up-Town" pav.

S"NAN@S 40 ~ AVN lay
The market was crowded with people
yesterday, though all the crowd was not
there. If B. H. Levy &c Bros big store
opposite the market had the same capacity
we think it would run that trading place a
close race for first place as a human bee
hive. 1t was Saturday, and while the
market draws well always on Saturdays the
great attractions at Levy's drew nearly as
we'll "Leyy's Saturday" was the pro-
gramme, and cheap clothing the magnet.
When we say 'cheap" clothing we mean to
convey the idea that the adjective applies
TO the prices and not to the quality. Suits
loorth S12 were sold for 81 50, and SIS suits
went fer $40, and when the business of the
day was stopped, purchasers-late Corners
were still on hand. In other words, tired
out by six days hard work, the remaining
crowd had to be shut out. With their char
acteristic iberality. however, B. H. Levy &
Bro. announce on our fifth page this morn
ing that Saturdays phenomenal bargains
will be repeated all tins week for the benefit
of those who were unable to get served on
Saturday. And the fact thai they offer
ttrst-cldSs, fresh, this seasons suits at less
than others are asking for shop-lUorn old
stock, will doubtless cause Saturdays de-
mand to be repeated all this week.-Ad
