THE MINORITY's PLANS.
The Mutual cooperative Association
Fight.

The committee appointed al the meeting
or the minority stockholders of the Mutual
Cooperative Association Saturday night
with instructions TO take steps to prevent
the dissolution Of the companies met yes
terday.
10 decided to employ Messrs. Barrow &
Osborne as counsel. Some legal step in op-
position to the dissolution will probably
De taken this morning. but exactly what
is not known. 1t is understood. however,
that it will not be a petition for a receiv-
or, and that this step will not be taken
until IT. is seen that no compromise can be
effected.
Mr.. j. r. Mcguire. chairman Of the mi
nority committee. said yesterday that ne
had legal advice that solvent concern Of
the character Of the Mutual Cooperative
could not be dissolved without unanimous
consent Of the stockholders.
The Mutual Cooperative Association
has been one Of the best paying institu-
tions ever organized in Savannah. II was
Incorporated Nov. II, 1SS6 and has declar-
ed a dividend Of 10 per cent. per aunum
regularly since it began business. in addi-
ton 10 rebates on purchases to stockhold-
ers varying from 2i2 TO % per cent. each
quarter. At the close Of the last quarter,
a dividend Of 2i2 per cent. on stock and a
rebate of Is per cent. on purchases was de-
clared. In addition 10 this there was
division Of the surplus last June amount
ing to a dividend Of 2J0 per cent, or SO on
each share Of par value Of so
II Is estimated that If the assets Of the
association were disposed OF at fair val
uatiOn each stakeholder would receive
about S3j per share, or another profit of
go per cent, in addition to the return of
the original investment. The resolution
declaring in favor of dissolution speci-
hes that no bid for the property shall be
accepted which will not net S25 to each
share of stock in addition TO the quarter
ly dividend due Jan. 30 which shows that
the stockholders have very good opinion
OF the value OF their assets.
These figures furnish an argument for
both sides. the majority arguing that un-
circumstances which are likely to de-
crease the business of the association IL
Is best to close IL, out while IL can be
done to such advantage, and the minor
ity arguing that with such a showing of
the healthy condition of the association
no valid reason can be advanced for wind
ing up its affairs.
A Morning News reporter was informed
last night that bad debt collecting agen-
cy had obtained the names Of the sixty
young men, who became stockholders Sat
urday afternoon for the purpose of vOt-
ing at the meeting Saturday night, and
that the stock of many of them will be
proceeded against by the agency on ac-
count of bills, which have been placed
with the agency for collection. This will
be "a dOuble-edged Joke, If IL works

THE ADVANTAGES OF DISEASE.
Rev. DIR. Vass' sermon ON "But He
Was n Leper."


Rev L. G. Vass preached at the First
Presbyterian church yesterday morning
on The Advantages of Disease" taking
his text from II Kings, V. 1, But he was
a leper."
He spoke of the conquests of Naaman,
the great Syrian general, who was afflict-
ed with leprosy, and whose condition. he
said, reveals an instructive history as to
Gods dealings with men. 1t is shown, he
said, that nothing human is perfect. An
other point he made was that difficulties
should not stop the usefulness of people,
as leprosy did not stop Naaman from serv-
ing his country. He spoke'of the infirmities
of many great men, which had been rather
a blessing to them than a curse. Attic
tons. he said, open the doors to ascensions
and to blessings, cares create cures and
diseases often bring delights. He exemDli-
fed this idea with instances showing that
many of the greatest products of genius
were the results of or were incident to
cares or ailments.
In concluding DIR. Vass made a brief
statement in which he said he supposed
everyone knew that the presbytery had
dissolved the pastoral relation existing
between himself and the church, and that
his resignation was to take effect in three
months. He said he trusted that all the
members of the congregation would en-
gage much in prayer and that they would
endeavor to do their Christian duty faith
fully, and attend upon all the church SER
vices.

for Them.
Savannah may not have water meters
after all A Morning News reporter was
so informed yesterday by member of
council who is in a position to know what
he is talking about. The subject was dis
cussed at a meeting of the committee or
the whole of council last week.
The water commission, it will be remem-
bered' petitioned council at its last meet
ing for an appropriation of 5000 in order
to enable il to make a beginning of the
meter system by furnishing a limited num-
Der of meters free of cost to the property
owners. After much discussion the com
mittee decided by a majority of one to
recommend an appropriation of So 500 for
the use of the commission I'm putting in
free meters This report will bring the
matter before council at its meeting We'd
nesday night, and there is a lively fight in
prospect. Several of the aldermen have ex-
pressed themselves as decidedly opposed
TO the meter system on these conditions
ton
ut will cost the city an immense sum
OF money TO put in the meters" said one
OF the aldermen opposed TO the appropria-
ton. There are 1909 water constmers in
this city. and If the city undertakes to
put In meters for all of them it will make
g good-sized deficit in the city treasury
Some OF the aldermen who have favored
the meter system heretofore have not
looked at the subject in this light, and l
think by the meeting of council Wednes-
day night there viii be a majority op-
posed to the appropriation"
what viii he the effect II council does
not make the appropriations" he was
asked.
There will be no meters" he replied
The commission is evidently not dispos-
ed to 50, ahead and put in meters at the
cost OF the property owners, and If council
does not make an appropriation there will
be an end of the matter"

Tho Story of


Prof. Dixi Crosby, NJ. D., LII. D.,
who for thirty-two years was at the
head of Dartmouth Medical College,
belonged to the famous Crosby family
of physicians, which for several gener-
atoms has furnished more distin-
guished medical men than any other
family in America. His father was
DIR. Asa Crosby, of Dartmouth, who
procured the charter Of the State
medical society, of which he was for
thirty years conspicuous member;
one brother, DR.. Josiah Crosby, in
vented the invalid bed and the method
of making extensions of fractured
limbs by adhesive strips; another
brother, DR.. Thos. r. Crosby, was
chief surgeon in Columbian College
Hospital during the war, and later
professor of animal and vegetable
physiology at Dartmouth College;
while DIR. Dixi Crosby himself was
the inventor and discovercr Of various
important improvements in medicine
and surgery, including a new and
unique mode Of reducing metacarpo-
phalangeal dislocation, opening of alb
scess at hip joint, etc., etc.
At the early age of twenty-four his
extraordinary skill and successin over
coming disease had already attracted
the attention of medical men through
out the world, and won for him the
highest honors. His greatest achieve
ment was the discovery OF an original
method for perfecting and compound
ing in permanent form what has be-
come known as his "prize formula"
and which, under the name OF Puri-
tana, is legally protected.
The foundation of this remarkable
medical discovery consists of simple
New England roots and herbs, and the
original family recipe for it has de-
scended to the long line of Crosby
physicians from their Puritan ances-
tors. Its peculiar vegetable compost
ton rendered it necessary to brew it
whenever needed in the early days of
its history, and after the scattering of
the Puritan families to remote locali-
ties, where the necessary ingredients
were not to be found, many attempts
werc made to put it up in permanent
form, all of which failed until DIR. Dixi
Crosby discovered means and methods,
the result of which is: Natures Cure
compounded in the laboratory of
Common Sense.
