sAvANNAH's TURKISH BATH.
How 1t Was Established on Enter
prise and Little Capital.

A man who has a good nerve will never
starve anywhere. Mr.. Joe Morris, who is
conducting the new Turkish bath estab-
lshment on Drayton street, has demon
strated this fully. A few weeks ago Mr..
Morris struck Savannah with less than a
dollar in his pocket and little prospect of
getting any more. To-day he is the proprle-
tor of as complete a Turkish and Russian
bath establishment as can be found any
where in the south.
Not having the money to take himself
and wife to New York where he desired
to 90, Mr.. Morris decided to see what he
could do in the way Of making a living in
Savannah. He is succeeding very well Just
now with the prospects Of greater success
in the near future. Being man of bright
mind IL did not take Mr.. Morris long to
see that one Of the things most needed in
Savannah just then was a Turkish bath es-
enlistment. Other men with bright
minds have perceived this before, but none
of them had the energy TO put the idea into
practical working condition.
Mr. Morris made the acquaintance of the
men whose services he knew that he
would need and impressed them with his
idea. He first succeeded in getting a lis'
of subscribers at 81 each to the Turkish
baths and aided by good nerve and a
straightforward manner he collected $3.50
of this in advance. He next secured a
lease on the house at No. q Drayton
street and proceeded to fix up a bathing
establishment in the most approved style
Morning News reporter took
In the establishment yesterday af-
ternoon from the front door TO the
hot room in the basement and back
to the cooling room on the top floor A
number of other persons were going
through the same experience, and all seem
ed to enjoy It. Some of them had had ex-
perience with such establishments in other
cities, and all voted that Morris was as
well equipped to give the baths as any
place they had ever patronized
From the dressing room the bather goes
below to the steam ROOM where he is first
well steamed. Next he goes to the warm
room, where the temperature is only 14O
degrees. After ten minutes stop here he
goes TO the hot room, where the thermom-
eter stands at 10 degrees in the shade.
