YOUNG MEN AS CITIZENS.
State Secretary Read Spoke mt Two
Services Yesterday.


Services Yesterday.
Mr.. ]. V. Read. state secretary of
the Y. NJ. c. A, spoke yester lay morn
ing at Trinity Church, and last night
at Grace Methodist Church. On both
occasions he was heard by a large con-
gregation. Mr.. Read confined himself
to discussing the worth of the young
men, and told how they can be made
good or bad citizens. He is an earn
est speaker and his address last night
at Grace Church was attentively fol-
lowed.
More vital to the prosperity Of this
city than the interests connected with
her cotton, her naval stores. her rail-
road and steamship enterprises" said
Mr.. Read, cor her banks. is the char
acter of young men. her most valu-
able assets. Goethe has we'll said,

men and l will tell you the destiny

welcome and good cheer is first extend
ed to him by the forces of evil or of
good.
"A prominent governor has said that
nothing costs the community so much
as bad habits, idleness and immoral
ity, while manhood and character are
real genuine assests in any city, The
forces of evil are wide awake and con-
stantly at work with seductive attrac-
lions to draw the young man their way
and as the ranks of professional and
mercantile life are made up of more
than 40 per cent. of young men, it is
clear that all enterprises rise or fall
with their welfare or misfortune.
can anything of greater Importance
be suggested than that such influences
be thrown around them as will induce
them to forsake the evil and associate
with the good until moral character is
established and connection with church
life is entered into. Nothing, aside
from the guiding and inspiring by the
Holy Spirit, is more needed by the
churches than a larger number of
young men, who shall not only place
their names upon the rolls. but expend
their strength, vigor and enthusiasm
for the upbuilding of the churches
| instead of in the service of Satan
The Young Mems Christian Associa-
| ton is an agency of the churches for
| character building; anchored to them
as closely as any other department of
| their work. and they, in their joint ca
| p&city, reach out after and train in
| Christian service scores and hundreds
of young men who could not be reach
| ed by any other agency of the
churches. This most important insti
| tuition is worthy of facilities for doing
| first-class work. The present building
has done splendid work in it's day. but
has long since been inadequate for the
present membership, and it's appear
ance is such that the public-spirited
citizens of Savannah cannot look upon
| ii with pride. When the building COM
| mittee asks for funds for a new one
| let the response be such as to rejoice
| all in the final result"

TO HAVE FIELD DAY.
Inspector General Has Shipped First
Regiment 5000 Blank Cartridges.

Regiment 5000 Blank Cartridges.
The officers of the First Regiment
who are DESTROYS of having a field day
on Thanksgiving. and who have writ
ten the inspector general to that effect,
have heard from that official, who
states that the project meets with his
hearty appreciation, and, further, that
he has shipped already 5000 blank cart
ridges for use on that occasion.
The exercises of the day will, if car
ried out as planned, consist of prac-
tice marches, to take place somewhere
out of the city limits, and of battle
exercises. 1t is possible that com
mands other than those included in
the First Regiment may take part in
the exercises.
Another plan for an outing that has
been planned. or rather is being plan
ned, is that of a trip to the Interstate
and West Indian Exposition in
Charleston. A letter to the manage
ment of that affair was written sug-
costing Feb. % as a suitable day for
the visit. 1t was a most fortunate
suggestion, for the Exposition has de-
cided upon that date as Military Day
at the Exposition and counts on hav-
ing. as visitors besides the State
Troops the Savannah Regiment and
one from Virginia.

Great sport of Youngsters Ncnr the

Youngsters who live in the neigh

found great source of amusement in
a buttress of the bridge over Gwinnett
street, west. One side of this offers a
steep declivity, about twenty feet
sheer. which has been smoothed with
concrete. Nearby is the site of the old
crematory, where any quantity of old
tin is to be found.

CABMAN CONTESTS ELECTION.
John Kelly Says He Has Writer
Gov. Gambler.

John Kelly. the cabman who OPP
posed Capt. Henry McAlpin for ordi-
nary, stated yesterday that he has al
ready addressed a letter to Gov Can
dler giving notice of his intention to
contest the election of the Democratic
nominee.
Kelly says that he has nothing tc
lose by a contest and that he intends
to furnish some excitement for the To-
cal politicians. He made the charge in
his letter that the names of many per-
sons were voted, when as a matter OF
fact the individuals in question were
either out of the city, or did not go tc
the polls.

WARNED AGAINST SIN.
International Secretary Gates Made
Two Addresses.

TWO AuuFesses'
Mr.. C. L. Gates, international secre-
tary of the Y. NJ. C. A. for the South,
delivered two addresses during the day
on Y. NJ. C. A. matters the first. at
the morning service in the Independent
Presbyterian Church, and the other be-
fore the mems meeting of the v. NJ. c..
A., held at o'clock in the afternoon
in the association rooms.
The subject of this address was the
consideration of four sins, against
which Mr.. Gates impressively warned
his hearers. The first of these is dis
honesty, which. he said. besides being a
cardinal sin of itself, may be said to
be the characteristic of all sin. TOO
often" he told his audience, I'VE are
not given to look at dishonesty as we
should being inclined to consider II
merely a breach of strict business pro-
bity It is a sin, however, and one
that II is needed every day to warn
young men against, for even in every
day social life we are apt to say
things that are not strictly so, and
which, though they be said even for the
sake of friendship, are nevertheless a
sin, because they are dishonest.
Intemperance, the second sin that the
speaker discussed, is by many, he said,
thought to be not so much a sin as a
weakness, but" he continued. the
authority of the Bible is as clear cut on
this question as II is in other cases. and
It is distinctly stated that a man is

HE HURLED A ROCK.
Willie Harris, COIored, Charged
With Felonious Assault.

Willie Harris. colored, was arrested
at an early hour yesterday morning
on charge of assaulting, with intent
to murder negro named Grant. The
arrest was made by Patrolman Hicks
in Gordon street lane, near Barnard
street.
Harris hurled brick at Grants head
with deadly intent and stated after his
arrest that he would have killed the
complainant if he could have gotten
hold to some other weapon. The pris-
oner claims that Grant addressed him
in the foulest sort of language, and
that he was so enraged that he threw
the first thing that came to his hand
at the profane negro. According to the
prisoner, the trouble was over a VIC
man who had passed Grant UP for
him. Harris will be given a prelimi-
nary examination by Recorder Myrick
In Police Court this morning.

DULL WEEK IN COURTS.
Judge SeabroOk Busy on His own
Circuit Now.

Judge SeabrOOl< Busy on His own
Circuit Now.
The present week promises to be a
very dull one in the courts, and there
will be no business of either a criminal
or civil nature in the Superior Court.
Judge Paul E. Seabrook of the Atlantic
Circuit is on his own circuit, and will
be unable to occupy Judge Falligant's
place for some little while.
Solicitor General Osborne is very
anxious to have the case against Louis
M Ashby, the wife murderer, tried,
and an effort will be made to have
Judge Seabrook leave his circuit for a
day, so that the case can be heard.
Judge Twiggs, on account of whose ILL
ness the case was postponed, has re-
covered sufficiently to be out and it
may be that the matter will be dis
posed of next week. There are no other
urgent matters that require the atten-
ton of the judge at this time.

Of the entire state, was unanimously
declared void by the Supreme Court of
Iowa on Friday morning. This decis-

will be held next fall as usual. The
amendment was carried at the election
last fall by majority of about 10000,
but certain fatal omissions in making
proper entry upon the journal of the

GOOD ROADS QUESTION
ABE breaches SOUND DOCTRINE
Advocates More Attention to 0uI
Country Roads, as a Valuable Ad-
junct to Business.

The question Of good roads is one
which does not receive anything like
the attention that it ought to. There
is no one thing of greater Importance
to the town or country than good roads.
The first cars that ran by steam had
coaches similar to the old fashioned
stage coaches and made the phenome-
nal speed of eight miles an hour. Men
of large means saw that it was a good
starting point and could be greatly i'm
proved. The first thing they did was
to build better road-bed and then put
on better cars, until today thousands of
millions of dollars are invested III rail-
roads and each company is endeavoring
to make their road the smoothest, best
and easiest of any. Instead of riding
in an old coach we now ride in palace
fit for king, at a speed of sixty miles
an hour. it's these railroad companies
with their good roads that are the most
important factors in settling up this
great country and developing its vast
resources, and yet hundred persons
ride on wagon road to one on rail-
road. The wagon road is used by ev-
erybody-old, young and middle-aged.
1t is used every day in the year either
for attending church, school or to at
tend to business, and it is amazing that
a subject of no political significance, of
no partisan character, but a mutual
benefit to all should be so little agita-
ted, That good roads are drawing
card is no question.
There are several roads leading from
DecOrah to Ossian, all about the same
distance except one, and that is three
miles longer, but it receives nine-tenths
of the travel between the two towns.
Why? Because it is q good road.
When there is snow or mud blockade
is it not fact that our towns resemble
much more deserted castle of the
Olden time than the centre of lively
trade? Can anyone doubt that good
roads are one great source of prosperity
as well as pleasure? Even the traveller
on foot prefers to walk on smooth
rather than a rough road and pedes-
trians are SO prone to walk on a smooth
and level track Of the railroad that the
companies have to put up signs, mo
thoroughfare; keep offw All of which
should be evidence that good roads are
badly needed. ABE JONES
