HAS NOT BEEN HEARD FROM.
The Anderson Construction Co. De-
laying Its Work on building.

The Anderson Construction Co. De-
laying Its Work on Building.
There are many people here who want to
know what is the matter with the Ander-
son Construction Company of st. Louis,
which was awarded the contract for the
interior hnishings of the new public build
ing.
Superintendent J. J. hewitt received an
announcement from Washington on April
80 Of the acceptance of the bid of this com
pany and was told at that time that 1t
would communicate with Kim as soon as 1t
was ready to begin the work Nearly a
month has gone by, and Superintendent
hewitt has not heard a word from the
company. He does not know what to
make of it.
The Anderson Construction Company
was given until May to complete It's
bond. Whether that has been done or
not is not known here. The work under
the contract SIS to be completed within six
months, but 1t can hardly be done unless
the contractors get at it very soon. and
even then they win have to rush il along.
The unusual delay makes it appear that
there must be some weighty reason for it.
In the meantime Savannahians would like
TO see the work done and the building COM
pleted.

no fire up stairs at all.
The alarm was turned in from box No.

department responded promptly. When
Mr.. Exley discovered that his stable was
on fire his first thought was of his horse
and he rushed out to save him The poor
animal was suffocated and badly burned
when he reached him. In spite OF the fire
Mr.. EXley rushed In and brought him out
but outside the horse fell to the ground
and was found to be so badly burned that
there was nothing to do but kill him. A
policeman was called on and the horse
was shot and carted to the crematory.
In attempting the rescue of his horse
Mr.. Exley was badly burned about the
face and head His left ear was almost
burned off, while his hair was singed as
was also his beard. He was also badly

No Arr0n ScnentS MADE Looking TO

The birthday of President Jefferson
Davis, which by a recent act of the legis-

Georgia, falls on June g. which is next
Friday. So far as can be learned, no
arrangements have been made to cele-

The Confederate Veterans Association
has not discussed the matter, nor do any
of the other societies appear to have taken
much interest in 1t so far. The Confeder-
ate Veterans will hold a meeting Thurs
day night for the purpose of hearing the
report from their committee on the SUBJ

That committee will report as to nominal
tons for officers and other details
1t may be that at that time something
Will be done looking toward taking the
matter up and making the day one to be
remembered annually. The banks will
probably be closed, as well as other instl-

SPANISH FLAG DESTROYED.

AIphOnso's COlors in Plant System
Office window Painted out.
In place of the Spanish flag which, for
some time, has adorned the Bull street
window of the Plant System ticket office,
under the De Soto there appeared yester-
day morning a complete daub of straw
berry-colored paint, which entirely oblit-
Grated all traces of the flag. The artist
had not taken the trouble to remove the
paint can and paint brush but left them
just beneath the window.
The flag was one Of three, Plant steam
ship flag, a United States and a Spanish
flag, the trio representing the Port Tampa,
Key West and Havana steamship line
The Plant people had just decided 10 re-
move it, and replace 1t by a British flag,
representing the Canada Atlantic Plant
Steamship Line, when some enthusiastic
patriot decided that he could stand the
sight of it no longer and completely wiped
it off the face of the earth. Mr. T.. A. Ar
mand, who is in charge of the Office, took
it in a good-natured way remarking that
the artist would have been spared his
pains had he waited a day or two longer.

just what the value of Logan's creamery

save 40 cents on pounds, as compared
with so-called creamery butter, she would
surely always buy the Logan creamery. If

Searching Not Necessary to Acquire
Good Things.

1t may be hard matter to tell where the
Spanish fleet is, and many people keep
wisely guessing and surmising and betting
and discussing and after all they are as
much al sea as is Schley and Sampson.
But, it don't take much guessing or
hunting to find out where you can get the
stuff TO make a good breakfast. dinner or
supper. When that question comes up, the
first thing that enters your mind is a re-
membrance of Logan. AT Logans you get
lots of nice things that you don't usually
think of while at home. The sight of his
stalls, laden with fine beef mutton, lamb,
poultry, corned beef, sweet picked
tongues, and, in fact, everything that the
markets of the world produce, win give
you an appealing appetite and when what
you buy is served you will enjoy tad
