WILL REBUILD THE SOUTH END
TYBEE's NEW HOTEL WILL START
NEXT WEEK.

II VIII BE on the Same Plan as tn
One burned Last August-Several
Cottages Going Up on the Island,
and More VIII Be Built Later On.
The inlet Club Building to BE Re
modeIed-PrOspects for the Coming
Season.
The South End Hotel at Tybee is 20 be
rebuilt. Mr.. W. NJ. Bohan has contracted
for the work, and il wiz be commenced
in week. The hotel win be built much
upon the plan Of that which was destroyed
last summer by fire. One difference win be
that the new hotel win have a number Of
cottages. There will. of course, be a pavil-
ion, bar and bath houses. The hotel will
be OF wood and about the same size as
that burned.
1t was thought some time ago that a
number of new cottages would be built on
the island this season, but il now seems
that there are to be few additions made to
the summer places There was talk at
one time of number of gentlemen who
had Withdrawn from the Inlet Club build
ing cottages, but il is said they have given
up the intention.
The only houses in course Reconstruction
are two by Mr.. j. G.. Butler. They are neat
frame buildings and will be near the post
office station. Another cottage is shortly
to be begun for Mr.. William Kehoe. The
latter wiz occupy his cottage, but those
built by Mr.. Butler will be for rent He
has number on the island, but they were
found insufficient TO supply the demand last
season.
Tyhee cottages nicely located and con-
.venent and comfortable command very
good rentals. The price usually paid dur
ing the summer months are $S5 and $40 a
month This winter and last owners of
cottages have been abe 10 rent them. The
officers and foTemen in charge of the gov
oTnment work on the island have needed
quarters, and $40 a month has been Sc
cured When the owners would otherwise
have been unable to rent their houses.
Property Of this kind is regarded as a
good inves tment on the island now and it
IS expected that values will be enhanced
after the government has completed an
the work now in progress. One attraction
yet to be added is a parade ground. The
tract where the artillery was encampe6
when it first reached the island early last
spring will be cleared and leveled. 1t wiz
then be the post parade ground and the
scene of formations and drills by the
troops that may be stationed on the is
land.
In the garrison at Tybee those interested
think there is a good thing. IL win at
tract visitors and viii be one of those in
ducements that may be embraced in adj
Vertisements Of the island as a summer re-
sort. It-is believed the coming season will
be good one. Last summer there were a
great many visitors. and an even better
season IS now anticipated In building his
new hotel Mr.. Bohan shows he has cen
1ldence in The Island as resort.

LATE STRAWBERRY SEASON.
Blizzard Put Back the Crop Three
Weeks or More.

weeks or More.
Usually at this season of the year tempt
ing displays Of Strawberries decorate the
stalls in the market and the windows of
the grocery stores. BY this time the fruit
mas begun to come in from Florida in ripe
and red abundance.
All this has been changed by the bllz-
gard The berries that were on the plants
were killed. and the plants themselves in
jured by the cold. The whole crop has
been retarded probably three weeks or
more. The berries that have reached this
market are small. few and inferior. and
the prices that have been asked for them
too high to permit of their liberal use.
In the vieinityeof Savannah the crop has
Received a serious setback, and 1t will be
a month or six weeks before strawberries
from this section win be offered in any
abundance. Only the protection afforded
the plants by a liberal use of pine straw
prevented their almost entire destruction.
The growers expect, however, TO harvest
a good crop. if late one. provided the
ifHd and pleasant weather of the past
few weeks continues No better berries
than those from the country around Sa-
Vannah are grown anywhere nor are they
grown anywhere in greater profusion. It
is probable that the higher prices that the
growers VIII receive for their product Will
compensate them amply for the destruc-
ton of part - their crop and the late ar
rival of the other part. Their fields are
again becoming green with the strawberry
leaves, and here and there a berry shows
itself among them.
In about three weeks the berries Will
begin 10 come in from Florida in large
quantities In the mAaer climate of that
region the crop has recovered more rapid
~ from the effects of the freeze, and il is
expected that the growers there will begin
to market the berries within the time
mentioned.

CAN'T SELL PLEDGES,
Justice Decides PawnbrOIxers Trans
fer No Title.


In Justice Klne's court on yesterday a
decision was rendered which, if it is sus-
tanned by the higher courts, will run the
pawnbrokers in Savannah to the wall. A
watch that had been pawned by Mr.. Joseph
Molina with f. Muhlberg was The subject
of the dispute. The time allowed for re-
demption lapsed, the watch was not re-
deemed and the pawn-broker sold it, An
action for the possession of the watch or
its value was instituted by Mr. Molina and
Justice Kline's decision is in his favor
The plaintiffs contention was that the
contract was usur.ous and hence the
pawnbroker could neither acquire nor
transfer a good and vald title. To this the
defendant answered that the contract was
severable and that as one clause of ii al
lowed the pawnbroker to sell after the
expiration of a specified time, he could
transfer valid title that would bar the
plaintiffs right of recovery.
The case will undoubtedly be appealed
to The Supreme Court and until it is decid-
ed definitely will keep the pawnbrokers
in flutter of apprehension. The plaintiff
is represented by Mr.. Lacy Norwood, and
