The Habersham mills are the only ones
in the United States that bought what Is
called the Mckinley patent, and they have
kept these machines TO this day as they
stand down in the mill yard, with i'm
provements made by the patents Of the
Tiltons. Mai y. o. Tilton patented in
1915, a ring Improvement which revolu-
tionized milling at that time, and his son
Nat, lately in charge OF the mills as miller

which in the opinion of the best experts,
is the finest milling arrangement exist
ing. Rice which the best mills of Nc
Kinley in New Orleans take nifty minutes
to pound, can be pounded by these patents
in about half the time. The invention Of
the Mckinley mortar is said 70 have been
due to Mr.. John Ravenel Of Charleston,
from whom Mckinley, il is claimed, got
the idea This patent was in the form Of
a short rod working upward through the
bottom of the mortar that held the rough
rice, with great rapidity. Ever since an
Client times pestles for milling were made
of wood lifted by enormous wooden revolv-
ing shafts which raised and dropped the
pestles in the mortar, and were called
drop pestles. What these old pcstles took
one, two and three hours to do, the Nc
Kinley patent did generally in twenty,
thirty and forty minutes. The No. mill
was mainly Instrumental in developing
the Mckinley machines and the engine

the Henry Clay, and was in the original
No. l mill. Fire destroyed the old No ?.
and No. mills, and they were rebuilt, but
with the great falling off of the rice indus
try two of the mills were recently disman-
tied.

Don't.

Don't imagine that by neglectlng to
insure your life you are yourself carrying
the risk of your premature death, you are
only throwing it on your (possibly) help
less wife and children. Don't persuade
yourself that it will be as easy to insure
your life later as it is now. You may
lose your health tomorrow. Don't say
If your income is meager your depend
emit ones need the protection all the
more Don't say that because you are
comfortably fixed you do not need life
insurance. When you shall be too old
or too much broken in health to insure
your riches may vanish, ana if they do
not, the money from a policy may sup
port your family while your estate is
being settled may pay urgent claims,
and save your property from being sac
rifced. Don't forget this: A life insur-
ance contract which meets all contin-
gencies is the best the more clear and
concise its terms the better. The poll
cies of the Massachusetts Mutual Life
Insurance Company, of which Harty &
Apple, 80 Bay street, are general agents
for Georgia, meet all tests; liberality and
equity are their distinguishing features.
Now. please remember this also. Every
policy is, after the payment OF two pre-
miums, subject to the cash and paid up
value laws of Massachusetts. This law
does not, and cannot, apply TO compa-
MES chartered by other states. The Mas
sachusetts Mutual pays large cash divi-
dends annually.-ad.

suggestions for Thought in the
Minds of E,nterprising Citizens.
Did you ever look over line of sam
pies shown Won by a representative of a
"slop shop" tailoring establishment, and
order suit of clothes which you thought
was cheap?
Did you ever have the suit arrive, and
after trying it on, find that it needed
making over by a local tailor?
Did you ever wear suit of that kind
and wish every day that the man that
made it was near by so you could punch
him2
Did you ever become thoroughly dis
gusted with that coat and finally give it
to the coachman?
Did you ever become convinced that it
is better to give your order to a local
tailor who employs the very best class of
artists, to make your suit, and who has the
finest fabrics and lin ings-goods that you
will not he ashamed to wear?
Did you ever stop to think that the
local tailor is always on hand, right among
his trade-and cannot afford to gull you
that his reputation is at stake in every
suit he produces?
Did you ever compare the two-the en-
terprising home tailor and the "slop shop
botcher?"

THE BANK CAsE SETTLED.

the Building.

The suit Of Mrs. Jane ". Anderson. ad-
ministratrix Of the estate of f. c. Ander-
son. vs.. the Citizens Bank. was dismissed
in the superior court yesterday, the mat
ter having been compromised Mrs. An
derson sought an injunction against the
bank to prevent It from erecting its
building at the corner OF Bryan and Dray-
ton streets. according to the plans de
cided upon. on the ground that in doing so
the adjoining property on the north be-
longing to the Anderson estate would be
injured. and the bank building would tres
pass upon the property of the plaintiff
The matter was amicably adjusted,
however the bank agreeing to pay
a certain amount of the damages
TO the adjoining property by
reason Of cutting off an alleyway and
portion of the south rooms of the ac~
joining building. 1t seems that the An
derson estate was the original tresspasser,
but by reason of long occupancy had ac-
Quired a right or easement TO the space
occupied by Its building. The work OF
erecting the bank building win go right
ahead now. The building will have
sixty-foot frontage on Bryan street and

There's a scramble for offices under the

them all.

In speaking with a business man yester-
day, he said that there was some tank of
offering the position of chief of police
clerk of council, or marshal, or perhans
city attorney to H. Logan, as he seemed
to be an enterprising citizen, who was en-
deavoring to advance the city's interests
in giving life to the community.
But he don't want anything in the line

'Logan's whole life and attention is
wrapped up in his business. It takes time

Since the Election.
Savannah is almost accustomed to
surprises" but still. there are some
that come with amazing unexpected
ness. The cat is out of the bag" how
ever, and they do say that there are
people in town who don't like it. They
have axes to grind. and another fellow
has the grindstone. That's always the
wa3, though. Let a fellow get to the
top of the tree, and somebody" wants
to shake it. but in this instance the fell
low at the top, as usual, is there to stay.
But the earthquake we started out to
tell about was Levy's-Levy's own spe-
cial ground-swell-mad to order, and
guara nteed to make things rattle. You
saw the announcement in ali the city
papers of course, and while you were
not urorised by its being "Levy's," You
certainly were amazed by their daring
act.
It's common knowledge that b. II.

good news than to listen TO mournful
