ST. JAMES DIsPENsARY's SUCCESS.
The Institutions First Months Work
Gratifying to the Promoters.

The Institutions First Months Work
Gratifying to the Promoters.
The staff of physicians and surgeons in
charge of the st. James dispensary, at cor
ner of Charlton and West Broad streets,
are elated over the first months work of
the institution, which has just been COM
pleted.
A great work confronts the dispensary
and those interested recognize much en-
couragement, even in the few applications
for medical attention. 1t has done re-
markably well during the month in view
of the fact that there is very little sick
ness in the city just now. There are from
five to ten applicants each day.
The charges are nominal and such as
do not even cover the cost of medicines
When the institution was established for
the helpless poor 1t was with the inten-
ton of carrying it on at least a year and
the medical staff agreed to give their ser.
vices free of charge. Medical attention
to the needy poor is thus assured for a
year, after which the dispensary promot-
ers hope to impress the city with the ne
cessity of permanently establishing it,
Their present quarters are conveniently
situated and well adapted for the work.
Miss Mary Burgess is in charge and at
tends to all applicants.
A staff meeting will be held Monday af-
ternoon to discuss general matters.

FITzGERALD's LAND SALES.
The Northern ExcursiOnists Well
Pleased With the Town.


Fitzgerald, Ca, Nov. 19.-Congressman
Brantley arrived this morning, and was
met by the reception committee and en-
tertained by them until this afternoon at
2:30, when he addressed several hundred
people from the balcony of the Fitzgerald
block. He was here for the purpose Of
obtaining information regarding the plans
for securing the national soldiers home
for this place. He held an informal re-
ception at the close of the speech and
made many new acquaintances.
The auction sale of lots continued to-
day, with rather better results than yes
terday. A large amount of property has
been disposed of during the two days. A
number of private sales were also made.
Col. W. P. Nesbitt, the manager of the
excursion, states that most of the excur-
sionists, who have bought property here,
intend to locate here and build residences
and business of a character that will be
of great value to the city.
The eXcursionsts are the most enthus-
iastic of the many enthusiastic northern
ers, who have ever visited the city. They
were so much delighted with what they
saw that they drew up resolutions stat
ing that they were entirely pleased with
the place and people, and found that the
advertisements circulated by Col. Mes
bitt, previous to their coming h9re, were
absolutely true. This document was sign
ed by large number of the visitors and
presented to Mr.. Nesbitt. The weather
during the past two days could not have
beeen better calculated to delight the Wis
itors.
Fifty Fitzgerald citizens went to T.flon
this evening on the special train with the
comic opera company, who present Eliza
to the Triton people this evening for The
benefit of the Fitzgerald band. They will
return on a special train at midnight.

upturning of the soil in such quantities at
any time, and especially after April 1.
Alderman Krouskoff offered q resolu-
ton that the excavation of the soil should
, cease April l, and be resumed Nov. L
1t was stated that Mr. Delaney had said
that he was willing to accommodate him
self to the wishes of council in the mat
ter, either pushing the work through by
summer or dividing it into two periods.
Alderman Owens favored the resolution.
1t would greatly relieve the minds of
many OF the people to have theswork stop
The contract will probably be signed to-
DAY. Mr. Delaney has expressed a will
llngness to accept the contract upon any
reasonable terms as to time and pay
ment that the city may require. The gen.
eral impression is among all those who
have figured on the contract including
the city officials, that the successful bid
ders have made a very low bid, and that
their profits will certainly not be excess
siye. 1t is further believed that the city
will get tirst-class work, for the reason
that the men who have secured the work
are experienced contractors, ana the fur
Their reason that the work will be super
intended by one of the best firms of en-
gineers in the country
The successful firm is known as the
Jacksonville Chicago combination, and
sonville and Delaney e. Zpf, a Chicago
contracting firm. 1t is interesting to
note that Mr.. Bryan had never
seen either Mr.. Delaney or Mr.
Zipf until he came to Savannah to bid on
the sewerage contract. They met and de-
cided to go in together and the result is
known Mr.. Bryan is one of the shrewdest
young business men of Jacksonville. His
letters from prominent Jacksonville finan
ciers to leading men in the Savannah
world of finance are said by those who
have seen them to be the VeTy best pos
sible to present. These letters proved no
small argument in his favor.
Mr. Delaney is man. of long expert
ence in contracting on public works. He
is square and straightforward and these
qualities have made friends for him since
his arrival here Mr., Zipf, his partner
is young man, but has experience in his
profession as a contractor.
Unless some obstacle is interposed by the
objecting property owners, the work will
be proceeded with as soon as the tools
and materials can be gotten on the ground.
Alderman Krouskoff's suggestion that
the city should make arrangements with
the contractors by which the property
owners who wish time in paying for the
cost of house connections should be al
lowed the same terms as the city secures
from the contractors, the charges, of
course, being lien against the property,
will doubtless be given further considera-
ton. This may have the effect of reduc-
ing the opposition to the work.

guenin plantation in this county, had his
right hand badly lacerated in a cotton gin
yesterday. One finger was severed and
two others split open by the saws.
There is less cotton in the warehouse
here than ever before at this season. Far
mers who held on to a portion of their cot
ton for a better price have nearly all sold
and the season here will soon be ended.
The purchasing committee of the CITY
council has been arragned by two or three
citizens upon the charge of having paid
an excessive price for a boiler purchased
recently for the water works plant. The

the council, and the complainants were
cited to appear before that body last night
and sustain their charges. A large crowd
was present to witness the proceedings.
