on real estate broker 10 buy house.

coveted property. Now 1 know people
who nave deposits in every savings bank

authority for saying that there is a party
who has $4,000 scattered around in such
institutions! His money Is safe OF course;
he can get it whenever he asks for it, but
1t is only paying him 2ih to per cent
year interest. If that party would invest
his savings Ia real estate he could have an
income of at least 5000 a year, and if he
speculated in property he could make $oOoO

books with only dollars and cents in them

ers. Bibles and prayer books have no place
with such a man. After awhile he departs
this life and the boys and girls have a
good time off those savings. The miser is
forgotten; not even house or lot is left
to testify that he once lived The court

generations to prove that he once

to watch your real estate increase, and
build a house or two. That parable Of
making two blades of grass grow where
one grew before" is not altogether an ag-
riculturaI aphorism. It is well to make
hay while the sun shines" Invest your
money in Ninth street lots, build a house
or several of them. Don't keep II bank
books to look at. but use your savings.
I want to talk with people with or with
out bank accounts. about the advantages
of real estate investments. Come when you

The Brunswick naval militia, fifty
strong, under command of Battalion Com
mander Frank D. Aiken and Lieut.. James
S. Wright. sailed to-day on the Prairie
for an eight-days' training cruise. They
will go outside and be drilled in gun prac-

til he hits the target, according to printed
instructions issued by the navy depart

expect to make excellent records.
The reserves were accompanied by a
large number of friends to the Prairie

first time the Georgia naval militia have
ever been off on a practice cruise, and
they are paying the expenses of the trip,
about $3.50, out of their own pockets.

IMPORTANT BILLS PASSED.
Florida House Spent Day Discussing
LIQUOR Question.


Liquor Question.
Tallahassee, Fla, May 1.-THE Senate
disposed of all the bills on it's calendar this
morning the most important bills passed
being the general law for the assessment
and collection OF revenue. providing for
better care of state convicts; exempting
Confederate soldiers and sailors having
less than $500 property from taxation;
Clark's libel law amended and modified.
and one providing for leasing county con-
victs. No new bills were introduced in the
Senate
The House devoted the day to discussing
bills for the regulation of the liquor trait
nc. Two of them were considered, each ex-
citing long and warm debates. The first
prohibits keeping saloons within four miles
of a church Or school house, except within
Incorporated towns and cities The other
abolishes the necessity of petition of cleo
tors for securing a license, and provides
that any man over twenty-one of good
moral character, upon application to the
Board of County Commissioners shall re-
ceive a license, unless charges against the
applicant are made and sustained
The solution of the problem as to what
judicial powers the Railroad Commission
shall be given, is still vexing all legisla-
tors. Nobody seems able to offer a salts
factory measure to harmonic the conflict
ing constitutional provisions.
