Yet some men make plans for many
years in the future, not realizing that it
may be their turn next. Other men stint
themselves and their families, depriving
them of many comforts and pleasures
merely to add q few more dollars to their
already well filled bank accounts. Some
go through life well able to enjoy every
comfort and happiness, yet deny them
selves all but the bare necessities. Be
generous and happy and have those about
you enjoy life; at the same time you can
be saving and may provide not only for
those dependent upon you, but for your
own old age. The best way to accomplish
this is to take an adequate amount of
life insurance in the Massachusetts Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company. Organized
1851. It's policies are plainly written, cas-
ilyS understood contracts that provide for
paid-up values, cash surrender values and
extended insurance values for every year
after the third In addition to these it
pays handsome dividends which go long
way towards reducing the cost every
year, or may be applied to increase the
insurance. There are many features about
a Massachusetts Mutual policy which it
would be well for you to be informed on
before taking your insurance. Full infor-
nation and interesting literature sent on
application. Write at once, stating your
age and address. Harry & Apple, mana

COMMISSIONERS TO MEET.
Mr.. David Wells VIII Probably BE
Appointed Tax Collector
Tuesday

Chairman J. j. Dale, Of the Board Of
County Commissioners, has issued a call
for a meeting for Tuesday morning for
the purpose of making an ad interim APP
pointment as tax collector.
Chairman Dale told a Morning News
reporter yesterday that the meeting would
be held unless there was some material
change in the situation, of what charac-
ter he did not state. His manner indicat-
ed, however that change was not likely
and that the meeting would be held.
The indications point to the conclusion
that Mr.. David Wells will be the choice
Of the commissioners for the appointment.
and that he will be elected to fill the ad
interim term. Mr. Wells application for
appointment and that of Mr.. Lester Hub
bell are the only ones that have been
made to the board.
Chairman Dale said that he could not
speak for any member Of the board other
than himself, but he thought Mr.. Wells a
mighty good man for the place. He left
the impression that he would vote for
him.
The matter Of calling an election to fill
the unexpired terms of the late Hampton
L. Ferrill, as ordinary of the county, and
the late James J. MCGOWAN as tax col
lector, viii be considered by the commits
sioners at the meeting, and the election
may be ordered at that time. If it is not
ordered then it viii be ordered at the reg
uiar meeting of the board Thursday af-
ternOon. The law provides that such cleo
lions shall be held after twenty days no

REQUESTED BY Mr.. LESTER.
Northern Capitalists Wanted Fran
chise Matter Settled.

The interests at the North that are
represented in Savannah by Mr.. d. B.
Lester and Mr.. f. NJ. Oliver, in the eff
fort to secure favorable street franchises
from the city for the construction of a
street railway system, are still anxious
to make an investment here. They re-
quested Mr.. Lester to induce the city au-
thorites to take some action as soon as
possible, and it was in response to re-
quest from Mr.. Lester that the Mayor
called the meeting of the Committee of
the Whole that is to be held tomorrow
afternoon at 4:30 o'clock.
1t has been some nine months since the
movement for the new street railway sys-
TEN was inaugurated. All that time, Mr.
Lester said yesterday, the gentlemen at
the North interested in the project, have
been waiting, and they are naturally de-
sirous that the matter be brought to a
conclusion. The president of the COM
pany that is to make the investment was
here, and thought well of the prospect
for new street railway and the money
for the investment is awaiting favorable
action by Council upon the petition for
rights, privileges and concessions.

BURGLARIZED DRUG STORE.
Robber Opened Cash Register and
Took $50 From hvingstOn's
Pharmacy.

IivinCston's De Soto Pharmacy. on
Bull street. opposite the De Soto Hotel.
was burelarized early yesterday morning,
and $50 was taken from the cash register.
The robbery was reported at police head
quarters Immediately upon its discovery,
but the officers have but little hope Of APP
pretending the guilty person.
The robbery was the most daring of
those recently made known to the police,
and the thief occupied much time in get
ting into the drug store. The windows
on the lane side of the building looked
as If they might have been tackled by
Chicago mob Of faith curists, the only
difference being that none Of the drugs
on the inside were nolested. The robber
did not even take any tobacco or cigars,
although he may have had drink or two
Of soda water on the house.
A large glass was broken in the west
ern window, but the thief could not get
in because of the presence of three iron
bars above the grating. A second glass
in the next window was smashed and the
burglar managed 10 crawl through the
opening over the grating. He found him
self in a back room and shut off from
the store by door. A plckaN was used
TO break the door open, and the wood was
cut in several places, but the lock would
not give. The door into the lane was
opened and third glass in a window in
the store proper was broken. This was
only a few feet from Bull street, and
the burglar crawled through the open
ing at the top OF the window. That he
was man was shown by the prints from
his wet shoes left on the store floor.
The cash register was visited and the
contents OF the drawer, go, was taken.
The man left through the side door of
the store. and this was found open by a
passing patrolman at an early hour in
the morning. The burglary was a par
ticularly bold one because of the fact
that cabs are constantly in front of the
hotel just across the street.

CAPT. McGOWAN's ESTATE.
Ordinary Appointed John n. Dillon
Temporary Administrators.

Ordinary Appointed John IA. Dillon
Temporary Administrators.
Administration upon the estate of the
late James J. MCGOWAN was begun yester-
day, when temporary letters of admins
tration were granted to Capt. John R.
Dillon by the Court of Ordinary.
The value of the estate will probably
approximate s35,0OO one-third of which is
real estate. Capt. MCGOWAN died in
testate though he intended to make a
will. He kept deferrng the matter from
time 40 time, untiI IL was too late. The
appointment Of Capt. Dillon was made at
the request of the two sisters of the de-
ceased, Mrs. NJ. ]. Rosis and Mrs. Ellen
A. Mclaughlin.
Capt. Dillon was always a very close
and intimate friend of Mr.. MCGOWAN dur
ing his lifetimei they having been asso-
ciated at one time, in the conduct of the
duties of tax collector. The relations ex-
listing between the two men were more
those Of brothers than friends.
Knowing these facts, Judge Keilbach
confirmed the selection of the heirs by
granting temporary letters OF administra-
tion at once, TO expedite the winding up
OF the official affairs Of the estate Capt.
Dillon will be appointed permanent admin
istrator by the court on March a. next.
The clerks in the tax collectors office
were busted yesterday In getting the
books and affairs OF tho Office In shape.

ately TO the appointee OF the County Com
missioners. IT is believed that within a
day or two after the appointment and
qualification OF Mr. McGowan's successor.

ment between the new officer and the
representative Of Mr.. McGowan's estate.

PRECAUTIONS ARE TAKEN.
In Case of Fire school Can BE Emp
tied i'm Three Minutes.


In the construction Of the three new
school buildings IN the southern section
OF the city, the Henry, Anderson and
Thirty-eighth Street Schools, special at
tention has been bestowed upon the mat
ter of providing quick and easy modes of
egress from the building. This is to the
end that in case of fire the buildings can
be emptied quickly of their living con-
tents.
In the new buildings and the same
thing will be true of che new Chatham
Academy, when 1t is completed, the stair
ways have been so constructed that they
lead directly from the doors Of the rooms
to the door or doors Of the building. They
have been made wide and gradual of
ascent. The doors to the rooms all open
outward, so that there will be no crowd
ing against them in case Of panic.
In many of the Northern schools il IS
the practice to have fire drills for the
pupils, in which they are taught to leave
the buildings quietly asd in order in case
a fire breaks out The question of posi-
BILE danger in case of fire was preached
to Supt. Ashmore a few days since. He
mas iedCHeu the coicIusioh tHdl extra du-
vance precautions are unnecessary in the
Savannah schools.
There is not a school in the city" said
Mr.. Ashmore. that cannot be emptied in
three minutes from the time an alarm is
given. In a building where there are so
many persons it is impossible that fire
should gain any Roadway without being
discovered. and abter it is discovered there
will be no difficulty in getting the chill
dren from the building. In my opinion,
it is quite impossible that a fire in a
Savannah school should result in serious
injury to either pupils or teachers. They
will all be out of the building before the
fire gets dangerous

THE LADIES' PART,
To Make the Enterprises of Savan-

To Make the Enterprises of savan-
nah Grow and Prosper.
There is a part for the ladies of Sa-
vannah to play in pushing and promoting
home enterprises. 1t is left now with
them to say whether Magnolia soap shall
be the leading soap industry of Savan-
nah or not. And in their hands largely
is the fate of the big enterprise looming
up so brilliantly
The manufacturing OF Magnolia soap is
one of the largest enterprises in Savan-
nah. 1t gives employment to more than
500 people. 1t is the first enterprise of
it's kind started here. and the. success 1t
has attained, so far, gives assurance that
Savannahians will take care of Savan-
nah, first last and all the time.
In the hands of the ladies of Savannah
launderers can be compelled to use Magno-
liza soap. The Magnolia brand is the best
product in the market. It's superiority
is apparent after a trial 1t is supplying a
lOng-felt want. Just such soap has been
demanded-one that washes clean, leaves
a good, healthy odor and does not wear
out linen. Inferior soap wear out clothes
quick, and this is a source of annoyance
and much expense to housewives.
These are obviated in the use of Mag
nolia soap. 1t is especially made to re-
lieve this trouble, and it is growing popu-
lar just along this line. Twenty-Five new
dealers were added yesterday to the long
list of those merchants who sell Magnolia
soap.
The manufacturers of the soap offer
three valuable prizes for the greatest num-
Der of wrappers.
The first prize is a lady's gold watch.
Second prize, solid silver manicure set
Third prize, a silver-mounted comb and
brush.
These are shown in the windows of
Hunter & Van Keuren, and are worth try
ing to get. They will be awarded April
l and somebody will secure a pretty pres
ent.-ad.

in arrears for dues and assessments, of
which class there was a large number on
