FACTORY IN ABEYANCE.
Nothing Further Has Been Done for
Fertilizer Plant.

The application made by Mr.. Charles
Ellis for portion of the old waterworks
tract west of the city will not result in
the early acquisition OF the property. it
seems. The application was referred to
the Water Committee of the City Council
and likelihood seemed to exist of the city
transferring a strip of the land to Mr.
Ellis and the gentlemen 10 be associated
with him in the establishment of ferti-
lizer factory.
Some difficulty in perfecting an under
standing among those concerned in the
project, it is reported was found, and Mr.
Ellis has not pushed his application He
wanted the matter held up for a few
months, thinking that an agreement
might be reached within that time The
project for a new fertilizer factory, there
fore is not entirely given up. but is only
laid to one side.
1t was thought highly probable that the
plan would be perfected, and that the
city would have the advantage to be de-
rived from the operation near it's borders
OF a factory employing many workmen.
Being anxious to encourage manufs ctur-
ing enterprises, the City Council would
doubtless have agreed upon some small
price for the property desired by Mr.
Ellis had the application been followed up.

DISCHARGED ON MAY !.
Plant System VIII Let Out It's Force
at o. s. S. Co.'S wharves.

The Plant System. will dismiss its force
Of clerks and laborers at the Ocean
Steamship Company's wharves on May /.
CONSERVATION has been created among the
employees by the receipt of notices in
forming them that their services will he
no longer needed after May 1. Many of
the employees are sore because longer than
ten days. notice was not given them. The
announcement came upon them like
thunderclap out of clear sky, for they
had not suspected that there was any
thing of the sort in contemplation.
The business of the Plant System at the
wharves will be hahdled by the Ocean
Steamship Company under the direction
of Mr.. r. g. Irrelevant, agent. The Plant
System has long maintained a special
force of clerks and Iaborers to handle its
business separately. All freight over the
Ocean Steamship Comranys line from the
north, routed. to Its interior destination
via the Plant System, has been received
by the Plant System force, and it is this
system that is now to be changed The
work will be done by the clerical and ia
boring forces of the Ocean Steamship
Company. -e
Economy demands the change in the
method of handling the business. Plant
System officials consider that 1t can be
uoHS just DIS wen ny the SledIHSillp Cofn-
pany's force. Nearly twenty white men
and several gangs Of colored laborers will
be dismissed through the change. The
only exception to the general dsmission
will be the retention of Mr.. Fenwick T.
Nichols in the service of the Plant Sys-
tenn. Mr.. Nichols is assistant agent for
the Plant System, and has had assurance
that he will be provided for by the COM
pany. He has had charge of the Plant
System work at the Ocean Steamship
Companys wharves.

WANTS whitaker PAVED.
An Alderman Believes the Car Track
should BE Removed.

| Whitaker street should be relieved OF
| the abomnable excuse Cor a pavement
that it now has" said an alderman yes
teriay. and some decent one put down
in its place. 1t is a shame that such a
street, affording if it were properly paw
ed such a splendid avenue for traffic be-
tween the northern and southern sections
of the city, should have no better pave
ment than the miserable cobble stones
that now make it positively painful and
destructive to horses and vehicles TO drive
over It,
And that is not all. There should be
some arrangement made through which
the street car track could be removed.
Once taken away. every assurance may
be felt that the city would never again
allow it TO be replaced. II the track
were removed and the street paved With
vitrfied brick, the best and most econOm-
ical material, popular opinion would be
so strong against the establishment Of
another line there that no Council would
ever think of allowing a new track to go
down.
Some arrangement should be possible
by which the track could be removed
without loss to any parties concerned.
believe the Savannah, Thunderbolt and
Isle of Hope Railway would willingly re-
linquish the line, If II might feel that no
other company would ever step in for the
operation Of street cars on Whitaker
street. The line is held by the company
under Lease from the City and Suburban
Street Railway Company, but it seems
to me that the Savannah, Thunderbolt
and Isle of Hope Railway would be will
ing TO give the City and Suburban bond
holders equivalent securities in its own
system and take up the track.
THE Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle
Of Hope Railway would have a system
complete in the Abercorn- Barnard, double
track route, and ! should think 1t would
be glad 10 relinqush the operation of the
Whitaker street line. 1t would get all
the business with the Abercorn- Barnard
line that it now gets with both that and
the Whitaker street line. Those who now
ride on the Whitaker line would ride on
the Abercorn- Barnard line If the Whita-
ker line were abolished. so there would
be no loss in revenue to the Savannah
Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope Railway,
lut, on the contrary. a saving, as the
company would be relieved from the ex-
pense of the operation of the Whitaker
street line.
AS the franchise under which the City
and Suburban Company holds the street
railway right on Whitaker street is in
perpetuity, of course the city can take
no steps in the matter. Anything that is
done will have to be through the agree
ment of the bondholders of the City and
Suburban and the mana cement of the Sa-
vannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of Hone
Railway"
The alderman is by no means alone in
his views upon the necessity for paving
Whitaker street. As ii is. the street is
thoroughfare, but, paved and freed of
the street car line, it would be as popu-
lar a driveway as Dragon street.

SOL USED SHOTGUN.
The Jones-HayvvoOd Feud Is on In
Earnest Again.

Solomon Haywood, colored, was COM
mitted to jail yesterday on warrant
from Magistrate Browns court charging
assault with intent to murder. Tom
Jones. colored. is named as the prosecu-
tor and he alleges that the prisoner made
a desperate effort to blow the top of his
woolly head off with a shotgun.
Fortunately for Tom the leaden mis-
siles missed their mark and Solomon took
to the high bush. The two negroes have
been at outs for several years, and all
because Toms wife Is sweet on Solomon.
All of the parties are well known to court
frequenters and their troubles have been
aired repeatedly in all of the tribunals in
Chatham county.
Those not on the inside have never been
able to discover just what Soils charms
are. He is a small, black negro and re-
sembes to a large extent a rusty stone
crab covered with barnacles. Jones is an
old dried-up individual, while his wife.
who answers to the name of Sallie,
weighs little less than 800 pounds. Hay
wood is partially blind and Jones is thor
oughly convinced that God has afflicted
him for his wickedness. The hearings of
the Haywood-Jones feud cases are al
ways interesting and this one will not be
an exception to the rule. Solomon Is in
variably the defendant and never fails to
have some novel plea for having attempt
ed to take the life of Sallie's husband.

NO MEETING YET CALLED.
Expected, Though, That Fair Di-
rectors VIII Soon Meet.

No meeting of the directors of the sa-
vannah Fair Association has yet been
called. though It is expected that one win
be held to-day or tomorrow for the con-
sideration of the new offer of the Mer-
chants and Mechanics Land Company of
the Dale avenue tract and the reply of the
Agricultural and Mechanical Association
TO the proposition of the Ten Brock
tract made by the Fair Association.
Mr.. J. W. Jackson, chairman of the
Site Committee of the directors of the
Fair Association, has notified President
George w. Owens Of the readiness of the
committee to report again. Mr.. b. II.
Levy, a member of the committee, said
yesterday that he does not understand
that the matter of a site for the fair
grounds is still with the committee, his
view being that the committees report
was accepted at the last meeting of the
directors and that the committee was dis
charged.
In this view, however those having bus
mess with the Fair Association regarding
sites do not seem to concur, for the COM
munication from the Ten Brock owners
was sent 10 Chairman Jackson, as was the
new offer of the Merchants and Meohan-
les Land Company

THE GOSPEL OF MONEY.
Rev. DR.. bowman Preached at Wes-
ley Monumental Church.


The morning service at Wesley Monu-
mental Church yesterday was made pc
culiarly interesting through the sermon
being preached by a former we'll beloved
pastor of the church, Rev. DR.. c. r. Dow
man now president of Emory College, in
Which position he is the successor of
Bishop W. A. Gambler. Dr. bowman was
pastor of Wesley during lS9l-lSs3, and his
visits to Savannah are elways enjoyed by
those who knew him during his pastor
ate.
DR.. bowman drew his text from Luke,
1873 Make 10 yourselves friends of the
mammon Of unrighteousness." The Cos
pei of Money" was the subject he gave
his talk, and he announced money to be
one of the three great factors In the
world the other two being muscle and
mind, muscle representing physical force.
mind representing Intellectual power and
supremacy and money furnishing the con-
nection between mind and muscle.
No view of the possession Of money be-
ing altogether curse was advanced by
Dr. bowman. 1t is easy, he said, to
abuse money, but with that practice he
has no patience. Scriptural warnings
against the love of money are many, but
Dr.. bowman considers that its possession
may be blessing when devoted by its
possessors to purposes that bring about
the betterment of the world.
To make money, DIR. Bowman declared,
is a legitimate exercise of a. God-given
power, but there are limitations In money
making. Men cannot afford for instance,
to make money at the sacrifice of princi-
pie or through injustice to others. OF
the purposes to which money should be
devoted, DIR. bowman said that IL Is made
to be employed in trade or manufa cture,
in developing resources and in doing good
in charitable, religious and educational
work
Men are as responsible for the use of
money as for any other power that is
given them. No longer is the idea tenable
that religion and business are two distinct
things and not to be associated, and the
speaker made an application of the query
What would Jesus do?"
DR.. bowman recalled a conversation he
had in Columbus with Bishop Gambler.
DR.. bowman was then pastor of a Column
bus church, and DR.. Gambler was going
to preach his Easter sermon for him. AS
they walked along to the church, DR..
Gambler remarked that he was on his
way to preach the Gospel to a large con-
gregation. 1t would be listened to by
many, DR.. Gambler said, but a revolu-.
ton would be wrought if they and all
men in Georgia began the next day to
live the Gospel. -
His text, Dr. bowman said, does not
mean to buy heaven with money, but to
SO spend money as to enrich the inheri-
lance of its .possessors there. He dwelt
eloquently upon such works as those of
the founder of Cooper Union, saying that
1t is by such means that the Inheritance
is enriched.

SOONER A PRISON CELL
Than Let His Employer Know That
He Was Even Charged With Dis

order.
Rather than acquaint his employer with
the fact that he had been arrested on
charge punishable only by a police mag
istrate, bright young lad announced
that he would sooner occupy cold and
dreary cell at the station house last night.
He was arrested by one of the watch
men in the yards of the Central of Geor-
gia Railway Company, and was sent TO
police headquarters in the patrol wagon,
because it was alleged that he fired a
revolver within the city limits. A repre-
sentative of the Morning News CHANGED
TO be at police headquarters when the
weeping and youthful prisoner was
brought in. The little fellow stated that
he is an orphan and is earning a living
as office boy for Bay street firm. He
knew of no one who could sign his bond,
unless it be his employer, and rather
than have him know that he was even
charged with a trivial urrense he would
rather be locked up.
The youngster has a pair of honest blue
eyes, and when he told his story, between
sobs and in straightforward manner.
even the heart of the turnkey was touch
ed. He had been west of the city 10
watch baseball game. and was returning
with several companions. A cheap pistol
was in his outside pocket, fully exposed
to view, and as harmless a a stuffed rat
tesnake. A crowd of negro urchins, sew
eral yards away. threw rocks at the white
boys and one of the number grabbed the
pistol and fired two shots, for the purpose
of frightening the negroes. The owner of
the revolver demonstrated with his COM
panion for having fired the pistol and
took the weapon from him.
The railroad watchman's attention was
attracted by the shooting, and he started
in the direction of the boys. They scat
tered in every direction; that is all but
the little owner of the revolver He said
that he had done nothing and awaited the
arrival of the officer and told him what
had happened. tie had the smoking wea-
pom in his hand and admitted that it was
his property. The natural presumption
was that he had fired the shots and be-
cause he did not choose to escape, he
was arrested.
The sympathy of those who heard the
boys story was aroused. and the case
was called to the attention of Superin-
tendent Owen Reilly. The superintendent
has soft heart, and he allowed the
younSster to go on his own recognizance
The little fellow appeared grateful and
promised to be on hand in Police Court
this morning, when his case is called for
trial.
