THINGS TO BE AVOIDED


Rev. Mr. Hateman then cited some
OF the things which he said he believed
Wore degrading the order. One of these
was the scramble for honors and an
other the rivalry between commander
les in regard to the number of mem
bers in each. new members being Sc
cured in many instances, without a Suf-
licient investigation as to their moral
worth.
II have heard of Knights Templar, =
said he. "Who have been seen to enter
saloons in their templar uniform.
am not one 0f those clergymen who
believe the saloon to he an mmitigatet
curse and who deems the man who ell
ters one to b" past redemption. but
think that the knight who enters, one
clad in tn" uniform of the order. has
forgotten the crucilied saviour and has
forgotten what the cross upon that
uniform, stands for."
lie protested against .the growing
practice OF telling questionable stories
at Masonic gatherings and cautioned
those present TO remember Him who
spoke as never man spoke before AMI
whose words We're all holy"
In conclusion he said that the
Knights templar had before them the
greatest Held of usefulness of any
other organization with the exception
of the Christian church. All other se-
lr"t ANA fraiernai organizations had
rharitably stolen something from The
Knights Tempar.

CITY WON'T PAY FOR IT.
j. s. Collins Discusses the Proposed
Norwood Land Deal.


Norwood Land Deal.
Several. citizens, it was stated yes
terday, intend bringing suit in the
courts to prevent the city buying the
Norwood tract, southwest of the city,
for anything like $4,000. Mr.. Jacob
S. Collins was named as one of the
prospective litigants. He was asked
by a representative of the Morning
News if the report was true.
NO" said Mr.. Collins, 81 have not
said to anyone that l intend going to
law to prevent the city buying the
property at such a price. I do not
know of any others who have declared
such an intention. l will say, how
ever, that the city will never pay any
such price for the lands"
This looked rather like a litigious
threat, so Mr.. Collins was asked if he
so intended it. He replied non-com-
Mutually, saying that any citizen would
nave the right, as taxpayer, to seek
an injunction. to prevent the citys
money being paid for lands for which
an exhorbitant price is asked.
u think 1 know something about
values" said Mr.. Collins, "and the
lands that it is proposed to buy from
Judge Norwood are not worth anything
like the price that has been asked.
Why, would not give $4,000 for the
entire tract he owns, much less the
portion he wants to sell for opening
streets and as a park. I do not be-
lieve the tract is worth so much.
what do they want with a park in
such q, place as that, anyway? If it
were anywhere that it could be reach
ed, there would be some wisdom in
establishing a park. 1t was all right,
for instance, to establish Thomas Park,
but what is the use of putting one
blocks away to the southwest of the
intersection of Forty-secon and West
Broad streets? s
The Mayor was right in saying that
there was no telling what price would
be demanded by property owners when
the city wants lands near Bull Street,
in the remote southern section, for
opening streets. A vast sum of money
would have to be expended to secure
lands for opening streets if the price
asked for portion of the Norwood
tract should be the basis and others
more valuable should be secured.
repeat that the city will never pay for
the lands If 1t agrees to buy them at
any. such price. ="

pretty home wedding took place
at 3 o'clock last night at the residence
of the brides parents. No. 9 Anderson

Clayton of Macon, and Miss Louise NJ.
Reed were married. The ceremony was
performed in the presence of a few in
innate friends by Rev. w. A. Nesbit,
pastor of the Westminster Presby-
terrain Church. Mr.. and Mrs. Clayton
left Immediately after the ceremony
for Macon.
The ceremony was performed in the
front parlor which had been Hastily
decorated with chrysanthemums and
LaFrance roses. The groom entered
with his best man, Mr.. Henry Merkel
of Macon. The bride entered on the
arm of her father Mr.. William G..
Reed, and with her maid of honor,
Miss Katie Crump of Macon, the
grooms cousin. The bride wore
travelling gown of dark cloth, and
white carnations were prettily arrang-
ed in her hair. Young and beautiful
she looked her sweetest.
The bride is a daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. William G. Reed, who moved to
savannah several years ago from
North Georgia. She is winsome- and
charming. and has a large circle of
friends who wish her every happiness
in her married life. The groom. al

Should BE Had After Purchasing n
Cemetery site. the Mayor Says.
No very matured ideas are yet en-
tertained by the members of Council
relative to the proposition to secure a
new cemetery. On one point they
seemed pretty well, fixed, and that is
that there is need for a new cemetery,
and that the city should not lose much
time in securing a tract of land suita-
bic for one. Those who were seen yes
terday, however, did not say that they
had any tract in view that they thought
procurable and, at the same time, suit
able for burial purposes.
Mayor Myers said there is unques-
tionably a need for a new cemetery.
Laurel Grove Cemetery has expanded
upon all sides as far as natural limita-
tions of the surrounding land will ad-
init. Some land was even reclaimed oy
underground drainage for burial pur-
poses, but there is no more even of
such nature contiguous TO the ceme-
terry. IL Is absolutely necessary. the
Mayor thinks, in view of the growing
population, and the very small area
yet unused In Laurel Grove Cemetery,
10 secure another tract.
IL is possible, the Mayor says. that
three or four years might elapse be-
fore IL would be absolutely necessary

WILL TRANSFER BY RAIL.
Railroads To-day Will Abandon Old
System of Tugs and Lighters.

- anu LIZ
The Central Railway, the Plant Sys-
tenn, the Seaboard Air Line and the
Southern Railway will inaugurate a
new system in making transfers of cot
ton, naval stores and merchandise from
the terminals of one of those of an
other of the companies. The change
will become effective to-day, and the
railroads will abandon the use of tow
boats and lighters. which have been
the means employed up to this time
for transfers.
Transfers will be made by rail. The
establishment of the River street line
straight through at connecting link
between the Central and the Plant Sys-
tenn and the construction of the Sea-
board terminals on Hutchinson's ISL
and and their connection by means of
the bridge across the river make it an
easy matter. for the transportation
companies to make the transfers
A great deal of business has fallen
to the Savannah Lighterage and Trans
fer Company through the old system
The company will enjoy il no longer
however, or, If it does, 1t will be in a
restricted degree. The Seaboard Air
Line will still handle local freights to
and from its terminals by means of
lighters. but that business will be
small in comparison with the general
transfers that have been made. The
company's business will be effected by
the change.
No company has. been formed by the
railroads for attention to the transfer
business. One is not regarded as nee
essary. The work will fall under the
supervision of the local agent of each
of the lines, and the present force Of
employees will do It,.
President John NJ. Egan of the Cen
trail was asked about the change. and
replied that it is made as a measure
of economy. The roads have been pay
ing out considerable money for the
transfers, he said, and, as the roads
need the money and see their way clear
to saving it, the new system was de-
cided upon.

TALK OF LlPT0M'S PLAN.
Savannah People Are Interested n
the Biz Enterprise.

The plan exploited in the papers as
entertained by Sir Thomas Upton for
| the establishment of many truck farms
in Georgia, the locating of canning
factories, the purchase from surround
ing farmers of all their produce save
cotton and corn, the erection of cold
storage plants and the putting on of
line of steamships between Savan-
nah and some English port has created
a great deal of discussion in this city,
and the people are interested. They
want to see the plan carried out.
Most people made some reservations
on reading of the plan. They were
inclined to doubt that it would ever
be carried out. The credentials and
the connections of DR.. j. A. Harris of
London, the representative of the Lip
ton company. leave no doubt that he
is duly authorized TO act, but there
are many skeptics who do not think
the project will be developed.
The chief official of one of the rail-
roads in Savannah discussed the pro-
ject to the extent of saying that he
hoped 1t would be tried, and that 1t
would prove successful. 1t would GER
tainly be great advantage to the
state to have such mammoth indus
try carried on, and the people would
be benefited. The transportation lines
would derive revenues from hauling
produce to the port for shipment and
in transporting supplies or immigrants
that might be landed here by the
steamships.
Maj. G. NJ. Ryals was asked if he
thought that the plan was thoroughly
practicable. He replied in the af,irma-
tive, saying that much American pro-
duce is shipped to Europe and that
there is no reason why that raised in
Georgia should not find its way across
the Atlantic, if shipped from Savan-
nah, and land on the other side in a
state of perfect preservation.

RAN A MILE ON DRAYTON ST.
Broughton street Man sprinted On a
Wager.

A mania for amateur athletic stunts,
maybe the result of the pronounced
advocacy of the strenuous life by Pres
ident Roosevelt, seems to have struck
Savannah. Last week a prominent law
yer did heel and toe performance of
a little over seven miles, thereby col
Iaring good-sized pile of cash that
had been put up against him, and yes
terday morning a popular clerk of
Broughton street essayed to make a
mile run on Drayton street in eight
minutes or less in order to satisfy him
self and his friends of his ability to
do so.
The attempt was made early in the
morning before the citizens, or that is
before many of them were astir. The
young man is good runner, and with
pacing or the proper kind of coaching
would undoubtedly have made the dis
lance we'll under the limit. AS It was.
however, he covered the distance in &
minutes and 80 seconds. He won one
bet and lost the other, both of the
same amount. and so is none the bet

Chairman Frank L. Lathrop of the

sioners intend to cut down expenses
wherever there is room for it, with a
view to reducing the tax rate next
year. While the same policy that was
in force during Mr.. Dale's chairman

The County Commissioners have

the Governor would not furnish the

that under the law the points are only
intended for remote places where
smallpox IS prevalent. There is no
smallpox in Chatham county at this
time, say the county authorities, and
the points are wanted for the use of

Governor there was nothing to do but
to purchase the points out of the coun-
