ing to BE Exactly Like the old One.

The New savannah Grocery Build
ing to BE Exactly Like the old One.
Mr.. l.. T. Gibbs of the Wilcox & Gibbs
Guano Company said yesterday that the
work of rebuilding the store of the sa-
vannah Grocery Company will begin Just
as soon as the work of clearing away the
rubbish, now in progress, is completed. A
large force of hands is at work clearing
away the ruins and it is expected that
this work will be completed by the middle
of next week.
The building will be rebuilt exactly as
II was before, said Mr.. Gibbs. 'HThe com
tract has been given out and the CITY Der-
init secured for the work"
Ihe cost Of restoring the building will
be in the neighborhood of $23 900. Mr.. Gibbs
said that he had heard some street talk of
opposing the rebuilding of the building
across River street, but he did NOT ex.
pect any opposition from council on this
line.
'"The insurance adiusters." he said
have assured me that they considered the
building perfectly good risk, and that
they are ready to insure it again"
me question as to who Is to pay for
cleaning up the rubbish from the bnrned
building is not yet settled The imme-
date expense falls upon the Wilcox e
gibbs Company. Mr.. Gibbs said that he
thought the expense should fall upon the
the work and so did the Savannah Gro
Gerry Company. The guano company was
then notified by the city that unless the
rubbish was removed promptly it would
be placed upon the docket for maintaining
a nuisance, Consequently the company Is
doing the work under compulsfon The
expense will amount to in the neighbor-
mood OF N,VJO. The rubbish is being taken
down the river on scows and dumped out
side the harbor lines.

however, but ii is expected that such a
request viii be presented this morning in

MIR. FRAsER's ENDORSEMENT.
BY the Bryan Grand Jury After In
vestignting Charges Againt Him.

The charges made before the Bryan coun-
ty grand jury against Solicitor Gen. w
w. Fraser appear in the light of recent
explanations to have very slim founda-
lions. They were based on something that
happened two years and a half ago
About that time cases against three par
ties, who had been indicted for selling rice
beer in the county were nolle pressed, and
the charge made before the grand jury
was that the solicitor general had settled
the cases out of court. As a matter of fact,
however, the matter came up in open
court, the defendants claiming they did
not know they were violating the law
and Judge Fall!gant signed the order by
which the cases were nolle pressed. Only
a part of the costs due in these cases were
paid.
The charges, it is said, were made by a
member of the grand jury, who was OPP
posed to the REFLECTION of Mr.. Fraser as
solicitor general but after the inVestiga-
ton of the charges, the Endorsement of
him was unanimous.
In the court of ordinary yesterday let
ters of guardianship on the property of
Mary r. Clyde and Addie Brannen, minor
children of L. J. Brannen, were granted to
w. d. Davis.
A homestead was granted to Joseph H.
johnson, in connection with which Judge
Ferril appointed G. II. Miller receiver to
collect the outstanding accounts of the
applicant in excess of the exemption
amounting to $S5.0S.
