as Camp Surgeon.
In what is probably the most modern
and best equipped stockade in Georgia,
100 long term convicts, twenty-five Of
whom are white, spent yesterday not
two miles from Savannah. The men
were leased from the state by the Mill
Haven Company, and arrived under
guard from Redwood early Saturday
afternoon.
The convicts are all trained men and
will be put to work this morning. They
had been leased to the PARROT Lumber
Company at Redwood. but that COM
panY went out of business last week,
and the convicts were sent at once to
Savannah. The buildings in which the
men are quartered were put up at a
cost of about $4,000, and the company
has in every way complied with the
requirements of the state.
The use of the convict labor at the
mills of the Mill-Haven Company will
not throw as many men out of employ
ment as was at first supposed. Mr..
Charles S. Heard says that the force
will really be doubled, and that there

ALL KINDS OF FOOLS
DISCUSSED BY REV. w. r. Moor
KLE AT FIRST PREsBYTERIAN
CHURCH.
SCRIPTURAL CLASSIFICATION.
TOLD THE CONGREGATION JUST
WHAT FOOLS THERE ARE.

''The ScripturaI Classification of
Fools" His Subject and Text From
the First Chapter of Paul to the
Third COrtinthians-Many Classes
of Fools Described-Even Wise
Men Are Fools, Said Mr.. McCOrLse.
Scriptures Quoted Proving the
World Foolish in One Manner or
Another.
"Scriptural Classification of Fools"
was the subject of Rev. w. P. Nc
Corkle's sermon last night at the First
Presbyterian Church.. The text was
taken from the first chapter of Paul to
the Third Corinthians, and the sub
ject of fools was clearly defined to the
congregation.
Rev. Mr.. McCorkle gave the Biblical
classification of fools. There are, he
said. agnostic fools, garrulous fools,
scornful FOOLS clustering fools, med
ding fools, boastful FOOLS mischievous
fools and lost fools. He defined at
length each class as taught by the
Scripture.
THE garrulous fool" he said,
and can never be taught anything, or
unwilling to learn anything but the
fool ideas in their head" AS an illus
tration he told of a woman he had in
one of his congregations who was a
good and dutiful housewife, but who
talked too much. Every time he called
on her he was never able to advise her,
because she out-talked him; in fact, she
tried to advise him.
IN Nv do
scribed as ''one who uttereth his own
mind at all times and prys into other
peoples affairs, and minds everything
but his own business" This kind of a
fool, he said, is one of the worst in
the world.
All other kinds of fools came in for
their share of scoring. and the last of
the list, "the lost fool" he classed as
the man who is always grasping and
grabbing for worldly goods without a
thought of the future and the folly of
his life. This kind of a fool" Mr.
McCorkle said, lis lost forever and for
ever, and is simply trifling his exist
ence away"
"a man at 20 is either a fool or a
wise man." said Mr.. McCorkle, "but
in either case he is a fool. No man
can be so wise but what he makes mis-
takes. and a fool of himself at times
Aside from these classifications of fools
there are but two general classes, Gods
| fools and the DEVILS fools. If the mis-
takes of Gods fools We're all put in a
| book. what a book of sorrow it would
| make"
| Rev. McCorkle dwelt upon the wis
| dom of fools and told of several in
stances in which man maketh himself
a fool. and quoted from the Scripture
and Scripture pictures of fools.
The CONGREGATION was small hut those
| who heard the sermon learned Just
what kind of a fool they are, and were
| shown the wisdom and folly of their
| foolishness.

DRANK CARBoLIC ACID.
Little Wallace sippIe's Curiosity
Nearly Proved Fatal to Him.

Nearly Proved Fatal to Him.
Wallace. the 2-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Chas. H. Sipple, nearly lost
his life yesterday as the result of
drinking carbolic acid, of which he ac-
cidently got hold. Mr.. Sipple had
occasion to use some of the poison and
left the bottle containing probably half
teaspoonful on the bureau in his bed
room. 1t is supposed that the child
secured the bottle by climbing up to
the bureau by aid of a chair.
No one was in the room and the first
that was known of the matter. was
when the little victim of his curiosity
himself, announced that something was
wrong by running to his I2-year-old
sister and telling her he was dying.
Mrs. Supple was at once told and doc
tors were summoned in hot haste.
The child's mouth and throat were
badly burned. and in a short time the
body had turned almost black. Drs.
T. p. Waring and NJ. NJ. Saliba used
heroic measures, but for many hours
could offer no encouragement that the
child's life could be saved. Though the
poison was taken shortly after o'clock
in the morning, the remedies applied
showed no effect until about 1 O'Clock
in the afternoon
There was a marked Improvement
after that time. however, and now
there is great hope that the child's life
will be saved. The childs danger was
made known to Rev. Ed. F. Cook and
prayers for it's recovery were offered
at the morning service in Wesley Mon
umental Church. Mr.. and Mrs. Sipple
have the deepest sympathy of their
friends, and their sincere wishes that
the life of the little one will be spared.

LIvINGsToN's PHARMACY.
Now in its Handsome Broughton
Street store.

street store.
Fitted up in modern style. and in
the center of the business district,
there is no more attractive store in
the city than the new place of the Liv-
ingston Pharmacy Company. at No. &c
Broughton street, west.
No expense was spared in making
the store one of the neatest and pref
test in Savannah. 1t is spacious and
inviting, and the fixtures are of the
most elaborate pattern. Special atten-
ton is being paid to the prescription
department. 1t is in full view of those
who enter the store, which is quite
departure from the custom. Prompt
attention is paid to the filling of pre-
scriptions and that cleanliness is aim
ed at can be readily discerned by those
who visit the place.
All of the cabinets in the place are
fully exposed to view. and nothing is
hidden from the public. The tops of
the show cases are of heavy plate
glass and add greatly to the appear
ance of the place. The store is a
veritable glass house. The bases of
the counters are enameled white and
marble. The floor at the entrance is
constructed of marble tile and sets
the store off to advantage. The cigar
department is to the right of the en-
trance, and is nicely arranged. A
speciality will be made of this depart
ment. and the finest brands of cigars
on the market are being kept.
The soda water fountain is located to
the left of the entrance, and is pref
ty affair, with gold embellishments.
Special attention is being paid to the
soda water and ice cream part of the
business. In clean and nicely appoint
ed apartments on the lower floor the
ice cream is made and everything
about the place is as neat as a pin.
The fountain has already grown popu-
lar with shoppers.
Articles usually found in a drug
store are Hastily arranged and display
ed in the store of handsome show
cases. Every department of the bust
ness is being made a feature, and the
House of Glass, as the store might
appropriately be termed, bids fair to
become one of the most popular places
in the city. The companys office is
situated in the rear of the store and
on an elevation of half a story. 1t,
too, presents a handsome appearance,
and is in full view of those who enter
the place. The motto of the Living
stOn Pharmacy Company is seemingly
not to keep anything hidden from the
public.
