time has not dared to make an effort TO
increase his distance from the scene of

THREE NEW sCHoOLHoUsEs
Are Desired by Residents of Small
Country Communities.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
Board of Education will be held tomorrow
afternoon, when the petitions Of residents
of three localities for new schoolhouses
will be received. II is not known whether
the board will consider itself in a position
to grant the petitions, as the full appro-
priation desired was not secured from the
Grand Jury.
West Savannah. South Newington and
Bonabella want new schoolhouses. The
facilities at those places are not regarded
as adequate. The residents believe they
should have better houses to which to
send their children for instruction. and,
provided financial difficulties are not con-
sidered insuperable, the board will prob
abaly adopt the same view.
Last year there were three new school
houses built in country districts. all of
them being constructed upon approved
plans. 1t is the desire of the board TO
substitute comfortable and convenient
houses throughout the county for those
that are not now regarded as thoroughly
satisfactory. The last three built were at
Isle of Hope seven miles out on the White
Bluff road, and at Bethel. All have given
satisfaction.
Another matter to come before the board
will be the annual report of the superin-
tendent, Mr.. Otis Ashmore.

sHoPLrFTERs PLEADED GUILTY.
Loeb and Hall Sentenced to Six
Years in the Penitentiary


T E. Hall and Ben Loeb, the two West
ern crooks who descended upon Savannah
a couple of weeks ago and placed in i'm
~lediate operation a plan that had for its
object the criminal diminution of the
stocks of certain wholesale merchants,
appeared in the Superior Court yesterday
and entered pleas of guilty to the three
indictments that had been found against
them by the grand jury.
The indictments charged the men with
larceny from the house. of goods over the
value of so in each case They stole a
quantity of fine gloves and silks from the
stores of 1. NJ. Frank & Co, Eckmen &
Netsburg and I. Epstein & Bro. on each
Indictment Judge Falligant passed sem
tence to term of two years in the pen
itentiary, making a total of six years con-
fin, ment which each of the men will have
to undergo
In passing sentence Judge Falligant ad
ministered a little lecture to Loeb and
Hall, saying he trusted the experience
through which they had passed would be
of some real advantage to them and that
they would give up adherence TO the opln-
ion that a career of crime could be ulti-
mately profitable or could result in any
thing but disaster.
The men received their sentences with
stoical resignetion-with the SAVIOR faire
of the accomplished and hardened crooks.
There seems little reason to believe that
the punishment that has been imposed
on them for those of their sins commit
ted in Savannah will have the reformatory
effect that Judge Falligant ventured TO
hone for.
