DEFECTS CURED by GENERAL LAW
Hull Street Sidewalk Extensions
Must BE within Thirty DAYS.

The ordinance recently passed by Coun-
ell providing for the extension of sidewalks
to the curbing on Bull street from BAY
to CASTOR and which was silent as to the
time in which the work was 10 be done
and by whom, in case the property own
ers failed, will not have to be amended.
City Attorney Adams states that the gen
eral ordinance requiring that all public
work shall be done within reasonable time
under the director Of public works pro-
Vdes for these omissions.
Alderman Dixon stated that the omission
was provided for by section 1iGO of The CITY
Code, which says that all sidewalks shall
be laid within thirty days from the time
notice is given by the city. "And any per-
son failing to comply with the above no
tice, within the time aforesaid" the sec
ton proceeds, then the city marshal shall
under the order Of the Mayor and alder
men OF the city of Savannah passed az any
regular meeting cause the same 10 he
done, and return the amount of costs To
the Mayor and aldermen, who shall order
the city treasurer to issue his execution
for the same against the owner or lessee
of the lot, which shall be levied and collect
ed as all executions for taxes and assess
ments of real estate"
Alderman Dixon said ihe ordinance could
be enforced under the above section not
withstanding the fact that nothing is said
as to the time within which, or by whom
the extensions shall be made. The duties
prescribed in the section would properly
fail 10 the director OF public works. how
ever, but It is stated this would not make
any material difference.
city Attorney Adams says that the re-
cent ordinance creating the Office of a.
rector and prescribing its duties, provides
that all city work ordered by Council shall
be done by him unless done by the prop
erty owners within a reasonable time. BE-
fore the extensions on Bull street are made.
II n stated. the director will have 20 re-
ceive instructions from Council az TO the
time 10 proceed. some Of the aldermen
thought the ordinance would have 20 be
amended IN accordance with the provisions
all the others OF this kind contained, but
Il seems. after all, that II has landed safe
" Ia the net Of general provisions.

TRUTH is MIGHTY.
And Sometimes Adds 800 to the
Strength of n Regiment.

And Some times Adds 800 to the
Strength of n Regiment.
II is a time-honored adage that figures
cannot lie, but they can look sometimes
as IL they had stretched out the truth to
a gold-Ieaf thinness. To those who know
them 1t would seem something akin TO
dissertation to couple the slightest sus-
picion of the faintest possibility of rail-
road men even accidentally getting off the
track-but there are things that cannot
be explained"
OF course 1t is expected that railroad
men should boom their own lines. They
would not be worth much to the corpora
tons that employ them " they could NOT
do that. Appreciating the fact, the pas.
senger representatives at Savannah let no
opportunity slip when another man might
get ahead of them and draw credit to his
line that should go another route.
1t is strange how railroad men insist
their lire carried the best part of the sol
diers when a regiment is mustered out al

tives of one of the lines objected to the

MUST PAY IN ADVANCE.
Applicants for Rooms During the
Reunion Must Send Check.

Applicants Tor Rooms During the
Reunion Must Send Check.
Some days ago Mr.. II. N. Theus wrote to
the proprietor of the Charleston Hotel,
making inquiries as to rates and reserva-
May He received an answer from Mr.
w. I. Daviss, proprietor of'the hotel, stat
ing that the rates were S. a day and up
wards, and that a check to cover the num-
Der of days that board was desired must
accompany the application for reserva-
tions.
When seen yesterday Mr.. Theus was
somewhat indignant over this exhibition
of the hospitality of the Charleston peo-
pie. Il expected to be charged a good
price for the room I occupied" said MIR.
Theus, "but I am not accustomed TO pay
ing for board in advance and absolutely
lack experience In the matter of paying
for 1t a month in advance. If the reply
I received is a fair sample of those that
have been sent to other of the veterans
who have inquired regarding reservations,
and from the fact that it is on a printed
form presume Ii is, the attendance at the
reunion will be somewhat less than has
been expected, and the ardor of the vet
Grams somewhat dampened."
"All of us want 20 go, Of course, as 1t
will be only few years before the last
of the veterans will have been laid to
rest, but the old spirit OF Resistance TO up
fairness, oppression ana imposition Is still
sufficiently strong to cause us to stay at
home If we should come to think we are
being unfairly treated. For myself,
have made other and perfectly satisfac-
tory arrangements, but others of the vet
Grams, if subjected~to this treatment, will
stay at home. Most of us are too old
now to endure priyations, and when we
90 away we desire 90 be as comfortable
as we are when we are beside our own
firesides. Letters such as the one I re-
ceived are not the sort Of bait that will
serve to entice US TO the reunion"
There has been considerable talk all
along regarding the probable lack of ac-
commodations in Charleston 90 care for
the throngs that will be in the city while
the reunion is in progress. The place is
historic and teeming with associations
dear 10 the hearts of those who wore the
gray and of their descendants, and for
this reason there is a prevailing fear that
there will be lack of accommodations.
This fear finds voice everywhere.
The reunion will not only be the occas-
ion of the annual convention of the United
Confederate Veterans, but the Sons Of
Veterans as well, and the delegates and
camps of these two associations that will
be in attendance will be sufficient IN them
selves 10 tax the accommoda tons Of the
city. When to this number is added
throngs of sympathizers and curiosity
seekers from every state in the union. Il
will be seen that the fear of over crowd
ing is well founded. Sponsors for every
camp, brigade, division and general head
quarters, with their attendant trains of
maids of honor add a further, albeit,
gracious perplexity TO the situation.

WATCH sTRAYED FROM HIS ROOM
j. b. overstreet Accused Berry Jones
of the Theft.


]. B. Overstreet, a colored resident of
Perry lane, near Randolph street, report
ed to the police yesterday that a watch
valued at $lS5 and s1.1O in money had been
stolen from him. He accused Berry Jones.
also colored, of the theft.
Overstreet's story is to the effect that
Jones, plotting a soldier and woman,
came to his house while he was sitting on
the porch, and applied for admittance and
entertainment for the rest of the night.
He acceded TO Jones' request. so far as 1t
pertained to himself, but denied admit
lance 10 his friends. Jones was given the
KEY and went into the house, where ne
only remained few minutes, coming out
and leaving the neighborhood.
Soon afterwards Overstreet wandered In
and upon looking through his pockets dis
covered that watch and money were MISS
ing He started out on a search for Jones,
found him and demanded the restitution
Of his property. Jones denied ever having
been around OYeFstreets house az the
time the latter charges and Indignantly
disclaimed his guilt.
Oversireot then reported tho matter 10

THE CHRISTIANS PATH.
Rev. DR.. Fairs Sermon at the Inde-
pendent Church,

At the Independent Presbyterian Church
last night Rev Or. Fair emphasized the
thought that Christ always follows in
the path the Christian walks.
The sermon was based upon the Journey
OF the disciples from Jerusalem to EN-
mans, Luke 2iIS This was lonely and
monotonous road, said Dr. Fair. No pic
turesque scenery lined the way; It was up
one hill, down another; they thought they
were alone; far as the eye could reach they
saw NO other traveller on the dreary path,
but as they walked Christ drew near and
revealed Himself in all the reality and
splendor OF His resurrection glory So the
CHRISTIAN path i'm life may seem hard and
ateary, tull OF dun monotony, standing be-
mind the counter all day or bending over
a desk, going down TO the store In the
morning and returning i'm the evening
tred+ or, worse sim, clouds of affection
may gather over the way; he may seem to
be all alone, but it is not so. Christ how
ers over the way betting II around with an
INFINITE ocean of light and comfort and
help, He is not a dead Saviour lying in the
tomb where they laid Him centuries ago.
he Is not far away, enthroned above the
Instant stars, but an ever-present friend,
walking side by side with His people
But we are told," said DR.. Fair. "the
eyes of the disciples were holden, and they
did not recognize Christ. So weakness of
faith or tears or the glare of the world
blind our eyes and we do not behold the
divine majesty by the path. When the
disciples recognized Christ what a differ
ence It made in their feelings. As they
flew back 10 Jerusalem with the
tidings the way did not seem hard or
lonely the hills all vanished and the mo-
notony was irradiated with a glory wor-
thy of the feet of angels to tread or the
chariot wheels of God So IL we could
ever walk with Christ, no life would be
dull or prosaic, but grand and heroic, wor-
thy of kings and queens. This is the Sc
cret of happiness, and when we learn TO
mud Christ in the way we master the art
of living and attain its highest philoso-
ply. This is the true wisdom, better than
the greatest schools OF ancient or modern
times could impart
Let us not look down at the difficulty
of the way" said DIR. Fair, in conclusion.
but ever look up 10 see the assembled
Christ in the heavens that bend over the
way. So will the journey end with Christ
within the open gate OF heaven and He
will stand forever disclosed before us in
all the beauty of His resurrection life.
