MANY INQUIRIES.
The Porto Rican Excursion Attract
ing Considerable Attention.

The Porto Rican Excursion Attract
ing Considerable Attention.
Many people just at this time would
like to take an excursion to Cuba, Porto
Rico and other points in the West Indies.
Realizing this, an excursion has been ar
ranged for their special benefit
The excursion will leave Brunswick,
Ca, for Porto Rico about Nov. 10. Every
thing for the comfort and pleasure of the
passengers has been planned. For those
desiring to combine pleasure with busl-
ness, a trip around Porto Rico has been
arranged, with stop-over privileges at all
important towns, allowing sufficient time
at all places to make thorough investi-
cation.
This is a rare opportunity and one which
the American people will no doubt take
advantage of.
The excursion company is composed of
leading business men of Atlanta, and
those who take the trip may have the as
surance that every want has been antici-
pated.
The cost of the round trip, including all
expenses, is very small. If you wish to
know fully about the matter, sent 10 cents
to the West Indian Excursion Company,
500 Temple Court, Atlanta, Ga, and they
will take pleasure in sending you a map
of Porto Rico and all particulars con-
corning the excursion.-ad

ANXIOUS ron A CHANGE.

Warsaw Taxpayers Want Commits
sioners in once Elected by Them.
Ex-Mayor Nelson of the town of War
saw believes that the petition for an cleo
ton of commissioners is just one, and
feels confident that when the ordinary has
Investigated the case he win grant the
desired order.
TT is true" said he yesterday, that
Thunderbolt has full board OF commits
sioners in office at the present time but
of that board only the minority were elect
ed by the people. Out OF the FIVE commits
sioners three, or a majority did not re-
ceve their powers from the taxpayers and
voters, and do not represent them or their
Views. Three of those elected by the peo-
pie resigned in sheer disgust at the course
legislation was taking. The taxpayers feel
that under the circumstances they should
be given an opportunity to put In COM
missioners who win lie satisfactory to
them. Thunderbolt has refrigerated
greatly in the past few months, and Is
about in the ruts where Il was five years
ago."
Mr.. Nelson was asked II the town
couldn't wait until the legislature passed
the bill changing the town government to
a Mayor and board Of aldermen with fuller
powers than allowed the commissioners.
Such a bill has been advertised and will
be introduced as soon as the legislature
meets.
I'VE have no guarantee that the legis-
lature win pass such a bill" said he,
land the taxpayers are opposed to delay
in such an important matter. OF course
II the ordinary should decline 10 issue the
desired order, 1t would be necessary 10
walt the action of the legislature"
Mr. Nelson could not say whether the
proposed legislation was entirely satlsfac-
tory to the Thunderbolt taxpayers or
not They would doubtless discuss 1t
among themselves. and II not satisfied, ac-
quaint the representatives. with their sem
timents.

o'NEILL'S LIFE DISPAIRED OF.
HIS WIFE OFFERS TO SEND THEIR
CHILDREN TO SEE MN.

but Said She Would Not GO Herself
o'NeilI Imngincs I'm His DeIirum
That He Is Pursued by His Wife
and Sweat and That They Are
Trying tn Murder Him-His Condi-
ton Critical Last Night.
. Patrick O'Neill. who was stabbed re-
Gently by Harry Sweat, is in a precari-
Gus condition at the Savannah Hospital
and it is reported he cannot survive his
Injuries. For time it was thought he
was improving, but he has taken a turn
for the worse, and all hopes for his recov-
cry have about been relnquished.
When it was reported last night that
O'NellFs condition was much worse, his
wife called at the police station. and asked
an officer to telephone the hospital and
inquire II the Unfortunate man wished TO
see either her or the children. The reply
was that OMEN was Ia a delirium, and
would not recognize anyone He ragged
at times, crying out that he was beng
pursued by his wife and Sweat and that
they were trying TO murder him. The
hospital physician advised that no one
come there.
well, I don't suppose he wants to see
me- said O'Nelns wife on hearing the
conversation the officer had. II just
thought if he wanted TO see the children,
they could go out. Somebody would have
to take them though. as | wouldn't so.
He don't care anything for me, and
think about the same of HIM"
Prior to leaving for the army, O'Neill
placed his two small children in one of
the charitable homes. They remained
there until he returned to Savannah, and
thinking he and his wife could live hap
PLY together, he took them to their home
on Reynolds street. II is reported every
thing moved smoothly until Sweat renew
ed his visits to the woman and entlced
her away. O'Neill was perplexed at this,
but the only satisfaction he sot from
Sweat was a knife thrust into his chest.
Sweat was arragned in the Police Court
and sent to jail on charge of assault
with intent TO murder. lie would probably
be denied bond il he should ask for 1t.

BEAR GRASS IN THE SQUARES.
VIII Keep Pedestrians From Making
short Cuts.

Bear Grass is to be used In the place Of
wire to keep pedestrians Off the corners
of grass plats in passing through the
squares. This grass is a tough species
of evergreen, and when planted thickly
in the corners of plats where pedestrians
have been used to walking. will likely
produce the desired result in keeping
them off. The grass is about foot high,
and will be ornamental as well as use
full.
Chairman Dafin has had a wagonload
brought from the country and Is intend
ing to plant It extensively In the squares.
1t is believed this will stop trespass where
the wire obstruction would not Chair
man Daffin says he would like to gaze
on the man so intent on tramping on the
corner that he would plunge through
tough bear grass a foot high. The ex-
pertinent will first be made in one or two
OF the principal squares, however. It has
already been planted in johnson square.

DISTRESS AT DARIEN.
Contributions Being Asked for the
Flood Sufferers.


Reports received by savannahians from
friends in Darien Indicate that there is
considerable suffering there among the
poorer classes on account Of the floods.
Some are out of homes, while others have
nothing to eat or wear.
Mrs. e. F. Bryan, who resides on Ogle-
thorpe avenue, near Drayton street, has
been asked to get contributions in Savan-
nah to aid in helping the unfortunate at
Darlen, and she has devoted some time
to going among the people. Since the re-
quest was made, however, she has receiv-
ed word not to solicit anything further
Just now, as an appeal would likely be
made 70 the Mayor or charitable associa-
tons for aid. While engaged at this work,
however, Mrs. Bryan secured several con-
tributlons of apparel, which win be sent
to Darien, and VIII help in supplying one
of the main wants of the unfortunates.
