AGAIN CARES FOR MANY.
Kings Daughters Creche Recovered
From Fever Effects.

The DAY nursery Of the union Of Kings
Daughters hes recovered completely from
the falling off in its benehciaries caused
by the outbreak Of scarlet fever some time
ago. 1t did not take the disease very long
70 run les course. and it was but short
while before the active measures adopted
were successful in eradicating 1t complete
~
Since the authoritics pronounced the
creche free from all danger 10 the Hite
ones who might be left there in the care
of the good matron whom the King
Daughters have put in charge. there has
been constantly increasing demand for
places. parents being sir0us OF securing
the care and accommodations provided for
children al such very moderate rates Much
gCOJ is accomplished through The mission
the ladies have undt rJaken, and their
hopes OF success have been rea lied. For
a hong while tGey we're unable 10 impress
mothers and fathers with the advantages
offered by the home Tor their children, but
that difficulty has passed. and there is
never any trouble found ia sc ting 8 many
children as the cre0Ae can accommodate.
Mrs. NJ. T.. Taggart. secretary Of the
union. ia common with other Indies, IS
greatly interested in the work, and very
anxious to secure public aid for it, Mrs.
ldHE1IL says "a trained nurse ldQ 10 De
secured 20 care for the children during
the prevalence Of the fever i'm the home.
Her services cost the union slJ a week. so
that quite an inrOad was made in the re-
serve fund the ladies' had in hand. In ad-
dition. here was the necessity Of furnish
ing tempting food for the children and
spending money for Injuries ard comforts.
New clothing and bedding had to be fur
nished, for the supply that was on hand
was burned by the sanitary inspector for
safety.
The fund, AIRS. Taggart says. is drawn
upon every month for regular expenses,
and she believes that, if the public could
understaud the ladies' position, help would
be extended them by subscribers, who
each month would contribute stipulated
amount of money, clothing, food or sup
plies. Such assistance would be greatly
appreciated she says, and IL is her hope
that charitable persons may take advan-
tago Of the opportunity to benefit many
poor people through the means of the
creche. Mrs. Taggart says the institution
is conducted by women Of limited means
who, were they able. would be glad to de
fray every expense. as they regard it as
a labor that should be carried on in Sa-
vannah. As il is these ladies make al
most constant sacrifice to carry on the
creche, but it is impossible for them to
supply its every need.
Mrs. Taggart says any contributions will
be gladly received by the pres dent Mrs
Robert Gibbes, the treasurer, Miss Ken
nedy by herself, or by any member of one
of the circles who Is known 10 the con-
tributor. She asks that nothing be given
indiscrimiuately, as a measure of pTecau-
ton, for advantage was once taken by an
unknown woman of the opportunity to so
licit for the creche without any returns
ever being made.

stockholders Tired of the Existence
of Loan Company of Macon.


There are a number Of Savannah stock
holders of the Merchants and Mechanics
Building and Loan Association of Macon,
who VIII be interested to learn that its
property and effects are In liquidation, and
that 1t stands a fair chance of being
wound up and they a fair chance of real
izing something on their Investment. OF
this they had ceased to entertain any very
firm belief
Through his attorneys John S. Harri-
son of Savannah. and Erwin & Galloway
of Macon, John Dempsey has brought suit
against the corporation and its principal
officers and agents. The plaintiff is a citi-
zen of California, and in this capacity,
brings his action in the United States
Court.
After neciting the nature of the organi-
cation of the association, and the purpose
it was designed to further, il is alleged
that al the last meeting of the stockhold-
ers, that was held in 1895. it agreed to go
into voluntary liquidation. and that the
affairs of the company should be wound
up. and all its loans called in. Since that
time the active control of the company
has been III the hands of Edward Nal
laTy anu JdtneS j. GOOD, respectively the
secretary and treasurer, and president of
the corporation, ana these officers have re-
fused TO wind up the business as contem-
plated aud directed by the vote of the
stockholders.
On the contrary, they have continued
to carry il on actively, in the hope, as IS
charged in the petition, that they might
buy up the shares of the corporation and
thus realize largely on the investment, by
reason of their superior acquaintance with
its assets and liabilities. The plaintiff and
his agents and attorneys have been denied
access to the books and papers of the cor
poration and refused any reasonable eX-
PLANTATION of its standing or why it con-
tinueS in business.
Judge Speer mas granted an order direct
ing that the books and accounts of The
association shall be turned over to the
representatives. of the plaintiff, and that
the defendants show cause before HIM why
the business of the company should not
be wound up.
