PAVING MEN ON THE HUSTLE.
WILL BE A LIVELY COMPETITION
FOR DRAYTON STREET.

The City COunciE Will Probably Con-
denim the Present Pavement Next
Week-Ordinance Providing For
New Pavement to BE introduced.
Asphalt Advocates to Make a
Strong Effort to Secure the Com
tract.
1t is understood that resolution will be
introduced at the next session of the city
council condemning the Drayton street
pavement on account of it's unsanitary
and unsatisfactory condition.
This will be followed by an ordinance,
either at the same session or a later ses-
sion Of council, providing for the improve
ment of the street. The material to be
used will depend upon the offers and
guarantees made by the manufacturers
of the various paving materials. Asphalt,
vftrifed brick and asphalt block are the
materials between which the competition
is most likely to lie. The use of Belgian
block or any similar material would be
strongly objected to by the residents on
Drayton street. With the amount of traf-
fic on THAT street the noise from Belgian
block pavement it is claimed, would be
property. The manufacturers of block as
phalt will make a special effort TO secure
the contract for the purpose of introduce
ing their material in Savannah. The
sheet asphalt people will also endeaver
to show that their materials are capable
of standing the heavy traffic to which
the pavement on Drayton street is sub
jected
The present cobblestone pavement has
been down for a number of years, and
has never proven satisfactory. Within
the last two years the cobblestones were
given a surface of shells, the i'll success
of which experiment is well known. On
this account some of the property own
ers on the street may object to paying
for two pavements in such close success
sion. The case is covered however, by a
decision of the supreme court, in which
it is held that a city government can or
der a new pavement laid upon street
whenever in its judgment 1t becomes nee
essary to do so, and that the property
owners can be required to pay the assess
ments for the pavement. AS Drayton
is narrow street, the assessments
against the individual property owners
will be small 1t is recognized that the
paving material selected for Draytoh
street must combine a maximum Of dura-
bility with a minimum of noise produce
ing characteristics.
1t is believed that the council has deter
mined to undertake the Improvement Of
Drayton street this year. After South
Broad street has been paved it is very
likely that Lincoln street will be paved
north to Broughton, and perhaps to Bay
street to relieve Drayton street of some
of the traffic which now seeks that street.

WORK OF THE LUTHERAN SYNOD
Missions and Education Discussed
by the Delegates.

by the Delegates.
Rev. w. C. Schaeffer, ID. d., of the Luther
an church of the Ascension, returned yes
terday from Plains, where he has been in
attendance at the meeting of the Georgia
synod of the Lutheran church.
DR.. Schaefer says the work Of the synod
was tremendously conducted and was Of
such a nature as to be greatly beneficial
to the church..
The synod began Wednesday morning,
and ended Saturday afternoon. Its work
was chiefly along the line of missions and
education. The college supported by the
synod of Georgia is located at Newberry
S. c.. and the theological seminary there
is also supported by the southern church.
The Georgia synod supports missions at
Atlanta Fitzgerald and Taliapoosa, Ala.
Another of it's estimable works is the
education Of several young men, whom it
supports at the theological seminaries.
The reports of the pastors showed a
healthy condition and a considerable addi-
ton to the membership OF the church.
The synod adjourned to meet next No
vember at Rincon. The old officers were
reelected

REV. BOswoRTH AS PASTOR.
His Inaugural Sermon at the Church
of Christ.

HIS lnauEurni SeTmOA ~ INC NhNAN'A
of Christ.
Rev. f. A. Bosworth preached his first
sermon as pastor of the Bolton Street
Church of Christ yesterday morning to
a large congregation. His subject was:
Gods Ideal Man"
Mr.. Bosworth took his text from
Matthew, S;17: "And 10, voice from
heaven, saying: This is my beloved son,
in whom I am well pleased
Men are like children" said the preach
er; "they learn by illustration as well as
by precept, and often more perfectly and
quickly by the former than the latter.
That we might have a perfect picture
Of what He would have us to be. He
gave us His son TO reflect the divine at
tribute on earth
Mr.. Bosworth spoke of the tender sym
pathies Of the man Jesus and the ease
with which the sorrows of others would
move him. MARY and Martha mourned
their dead brother, but their grief was
but short, for with faith in his power,
they We're given Him back from the grave.
The outcasts, the most lowly and the
broken In body, never appealed to him
that they We're not given the consolation
that His divine power might bestow."
The evening services We're well attend
ed, and the congregation listened to an
ablo sermon preached by Mr.. Bosworth
on Divine Retrlbutiou"

REFERRED TO THE ELECTION.
Rev. Charles II. Strong Drew an EN-
ample From 1t.

Rev. Charles H. Strong preached last
night at st. Johns church on Standing
Up for Principle" He took the text for
his sermon from Acts 4I9-2O: But Peter
and John answered and said unto them,
Whether it be right in the sight Of God
to hearken unto you more than unto Goo,
judge ye; for we cannot but speak tho
things which we have seen and heard"
Mr. Strong pictured these bold disciples
standing, unlearned and obscure, in the
presence of the Sanhedrim, and courage
ously responding to the dictates of con.
science. Though threatened, still they ad-
hered to their principles. Peter first
played the coward with his convictions,
but he atoned for his denial
Mr.. Strong referred to the recent no
tional election as an example of the SUP
ject he was treating. He said that many
men went against their principles to stand
by their parties and that many others
had made their sense of right paramount
to every other consideration and regard
less of the reproach or censure they might
receive had supported the doctrines
prompted by their estimate of the rgh..
1--WE Americans care altogether loo
much for money" said Mr. Strong, ana
to this he attributed much of the respon-
sibiIty for the departures from the path
that principle points out He referred to
the common saying that every man has
his price, as evidence of the estimate
in which moneys hold over convictions
Is held. And 1t is sometimes stated still
further he said, as a belief that there is
no virtue. Though some assume this vir-
tue, it is said it is not true for their
price has not yet been offered
christians to-day" said Mr.. Strong
should adhere to principles, for with the
launching off of some to theosophy and
others to Christian Science and agnosti-
cism, il is imperative that believers should
stand up in the assertion of faith in
supernatural revelation and the crucihx-
ion and what it betokens.
why do men fail to stand up to princi-
ples?" he asked. 1T is because they are
afraid Of what the world will say. The
politician, If he follows his conception of
right, fears for the result among his con-
stltuents; the merchant sinks his ideas
of the right for fear of a decrease in his
business, and the minister weakly gives
no ear to commands of his conscience to
preach on certain questions for fear of
the wounded sensibilities of his congre-
cation. When a man is given the great
opportunity to respond to the suggestion
of principle what a pity 1t Is that the
manifestation of right is deserted because
forsooth, he is afraid"

TO PUT ON THE STEAMERS.
MIR. JOHNSTON HERE MAKING AR
RANGEMENTS FOR THE LINE.

VIII Open an ONCE i'm Savannah the
Early Part of Next Week-1he
Intent of the Plan, MIR. johnson
Says, Is to EquaIize Rates Through

the FaciIities-Said He Does Not
Know of n Place which Presents
More Natural Advantages.
Mr.. William Johns on, of the firm OF VIM
Johnston & Co.. of Liverpool, Eng, is in
the city, having come here to confer with
President H. NJ. Conner Of the Central of
Georgia Railway Company with regard to
the line of steamers to be put on from sa-
vannah to European ports.
Mr.. Johnston was in conference with
President Conner yesterday, and also with
Capt A. f. Churchill Of Brunswick, from
which port he also expects to put on a
line Of foreign steamers. During the day
Mr.. Johnston, in company with President
Conner, visited the wharves of the Ocean
Steamship Company, where the steamers
he is to send here VIII get their cargoes.
He expressed himself as very much pleas
ed with the facilities offered.
Mr.. Johnston was not inclined to discuss
the plans of the Georgia Export and I'm
port Company for putting on a direct line
of steamers, but he said he had noticed the
accounts in the Morning News and they
were full and complete. He would perhaps
be better able to give an account of the
companys plans, he said. after the details
had been arranged He was asked about
the idea of putting on lines of steamers
from all the South Atlantic ports.
1.-The idea is to equalize the rates
through all the ports" he said. Here
tofore at times, some of the ports have
had too many ships, and others have had
too few, and vice versa. This has some-
times led to a cutting of rates on the
part of some of the railroads or shipbro
kers, and the consequence is the exporter
was not always in a position to know
what he could depend on. If it is fixed so
that these rates are all equal there will
be no trouble on that score
Mr.. Johnston said his firm intended to
open an office here the early part of next
week, and to begin business as soon as
possible. The manager of the Savannah
office has not been decided upon as yet,
he said, and as the details had not been
arranged, he was not ready to say any
thing about them.
"Savannahs advantages are unique"
he said, speaking of the port and the
Ocean Steamship wharves, which he had
visited. Il don't know of any place that
presents the same natural advantages
that Savannah does. The facilities are
all that could be wished for"
Mr.. Johnston will remain in the city
to-day to arrange in part the details of
the plan for putting on the steamers from

TO MEET IN VALDOsTA,
Ministers of the south Georgia Get

Methodist ministers everywhere in
Southern Georgia are getting ready for
the annual meeting of their conference,
which begins at Valdosta Dec. g. The bust
ness affairs of all the churches and of The
ministers themselves are being straight
ened out and by that time the ministers
will all be in readiness to leave their pres
ent charges or return to them, as the con-
ference may dictate.
Ministers who have country circuits are
now preaching their last sermons at some
of their churches, for where there are
four, FIVE or six churches in circuit,
they will have to so to conference before
they again get around to the churches
they have just left or those which they
may preach at next Sunday. There Is
nothing specially notable coming before
the coming South Georgia conference. ex
cept such as comes before every confer
ence, the great question with every minis
ter of the church, and one which Is not
left for him to decite-where will he go?
This question is one, too, which con-

them go, though they bow to the dictates

Savannah Man RumOred to he I'm

Considerable talk was created yester-
day by the following advertisement in the
Morning News of the raising of stock

'All persons are hereby cautioned
against trading for scrip No. 1891 for nine
teen shares of stock of the Southwestern

The advertisement was much discussed
IN the clubs and by business men. Ru-
mors connecting the name OF a Savannah
man with the affair flew thick ana fast
and by night il became general talk.
1t is understood that a warrant was
issued for the arrest of the party to whom
the forgery was attributed, and that a
constable or deputy was placed in charge
of him.
The rumors connected one of the banks
with the transaction, II being said that
une raised stock certificate was hypotn-

the extent of about 5000. The president

A PENSION DEPARTMENT.
Ordinaries Asking to Intercede For
Pension Legislation.


Pension Legislation.
Judge Hampton L. FerriH has received
a letter from Secretary Richard johnson
of the state executive department, calling
attention to that portion of the governors
message which relates to the matter of
pensions, and asking that he see the SEN
ator and representatives from this district
with view to securing their aid in be-
half of some legislation for the purpose
OF relieving the executive department.
Gov. Atkinson devoted several pages of
his message to the legislature to the sta
tus of pensions in Georgia, with a view to
showing that the business has grown to
such an extent as to make it larger bur-
den upon the executive department than
it should be made to bear. He urged such
legislation in this direction as would pro-
vide for separate department for hand
ling pensions, in charge of a commis-
sioner of pensions, or at least some change
in the present laws by which the executive
tent of this burden.
Thousands of dollars are handled and
turned over in small amounts to pension
ers, and as the ordinaries aid in the dstri-
button of the fund they have some idea of
the amount of labor connected with it. 1t
is for this reason, perhaps, that the gov
ernor, through his secretary, has had let
ters sent to the ordinaries of the different
counties of the state, asking their iniiu-
ence in behalf of some legislation along
this line
