FACTS FOR A SHIPYARD.
An Attorney Is Representing North
erners in the Matter.

A young attorney of Savannah who has
represented important concerns has lately
been employed in a work that may result
in no little benefit to Savannah. He was
commissioned sometime ago to ascertain
certain facts and secure certain figures
that were desired by a company in the
North that contemplated establishing a
shipyard in this city.
OF late there has been some talk of the
great need that exists here for a we'll
equipped shipyard and the extreme prob
ability that 1t could be made to pay hand
somely. 1t would seem that the agent for
the parties interested could furnish all
the Information that would be necessary
to induce the establishment of such an
enterprise here, for the general verdict
of those who have knowledge of such
things is that no better location on the
South Atlantic coast could be found.
1t has long been a pet scheme of Vice
President Egan of the Central Railroad,
to bring about the establishment of a
shipyard lie has been in correspondence,
from time to time, with Eastern men
whom he thought might see fit to take
advantage OF the opportunity offered and
invest their money in this way. At one
time it appeared that a New Yorker
showed the proper interest, and it was
believed he would come to Savannah to
investigate the matter.
South OF Virginia there is no shipyard
on the Atlantic coast. Inquiry fails to re-
veal any good reason why there should
not be one here. All the hard woods
needed can be secured within easy reach,
from much nearer forests, in fact, than
the shipyards Of the Northern coast can
manage TO get their materials. Rough la
Dor in abundance could be had, the build
ers needing only to bring their skilled
hands from other parts

THOROUGHLY EDUCATED.
A Graduate at Agnes Scott Can
Claim That Distinction.

While Agnes Scott Institute, located at
Decatur, Ga, which is just beyond the
suburbs of Atlanta, has been established
so many years, yet il to-day is perhaps
the foremost educational institution in the
South for girls and young women lis
thoroughness and the character and abn-
ity Of its teachers have made it second to
none.
The course OF study is of a high char
acter, and when girl graduates there she
Is thoroughly educated. If you have a
daughter to educate il will be well for
you TO write TO DR.. f. II. Gaines, at De-
eatqr. Ca. and ask him for Information.

THE STUDY OF CANCER.

BY the will of Caroline Brewer Croft,
who died in England nearly two years
ago. sum amounting to nearly 100000
was placed i'm the hands Of the corpora
tion of Harvard University to be used
in the investigation of that still mys-
terious disease. cancer.
Although so many diseases have
yielded up their secrets TO scientific re-
searchei in the last decade of this CEN
tury that this may be regarded as al
most the golden age OF discovery in
medicine. cancer remains apparently
one of the impenetrable mysteries says
the Boston Transcript. The methods
and machinery of investigation have,
however. so vastly improved that the
scientific world is now beginning to
turn it's attention 10 this subject i'm the
hope that new study on thoroughly
scientific lines may lead 10 knowl-
edge OF the cause, and thus pave the
way for the treatment or prevention OF
a disease which is so dread an enemy
TO the human race. Systematic re-
searches have been established In Lon
don. in Paris and in Italy, and also in
this country.
Mrs. Croft was the daughter OF the
late Gardner Brewer, a prominent and
successful merchant and a man of
much benevolence and public spirit.
From her father she inherited largely
of these qualities. with a business ca
pacity which made her a most valuable
director in various institutions that
claimed her interest. Her time, her
energy. her excellent judgment. her
generous help and tender sympathy
were freely given to many cases OF
want brought to her notice. Her first
charitable efforts impressed upon her
the horrors of incurable disease, and for
many years prior 10 her death she pri-
vately appropriated large annual sum
TO the same object as this public be-
quest. Her aim was TO strike at the
disease itself, TO discover it's cause. and
thus provide an antidote and remedy
which should relieve suffering human
fty from one OF it's greatest scourges.
Miss Brewers name has long been
associated with the Museum OF Fine
Arts, OF which she and her family have
been liberal benefactors. and 10 which
she has bequeathed many Of her collec
tions, and this latest proof OF her gen.
erosity will not surprise those who
knew her Kindness OF heart and her
broad interest in humanity.

known English artist. she had been alb
