PAY UP.

There are many people who
do not pay promptly for their
local paper.
Yet those same people often
ask and receive favors from
the local paper, while none is
received or expected from the
far off journal they pay for.
When they wish to express
gratitude for kindly assistance
during sickness or misfortune.
the local paper is asked to pub
lish a card of thanks.
When they wish To have a
supper or reception of any kind,
the local paper is asked to give
it a free notice.
When a public meeting is to
be held for any purpose, they
want the local paper to give it
; due publicity.

PershIna Arranging Attack.
Manila, Sept 24.-Captain John j,
Pershing, of the Fifteenth infantry,
operating against the Moros in the
island of Mindanao, has found the
Moro position at Macin, island Of Min
danao, to be strong and has delayed
his attack ON it. He must THROW a
pontoon bridge across a swamp and
possibly receive achievements be-
fore engaging the enemy. The cap
tain made a reconnaissance close to
the Moro position and found a fort
on an elevation, close to the lake
shore, fianked by swamps. virtually
making the promontory an island. The
Americans built RATS preparatory to
attacking the Moros and decided to
bridge the swamp and make an attack
from ell Sides. The sultans OF Macin
regard the position as tmpregnRble
an0have refused to treat with Captain
Pershing.
Rrtgadier General Samuel Sumner
will send the Moros an ultimatum de
handing peace and the return Of sto
len property. If his demands are re-
1ected, the place will be assaulted
Captain Pershing has carefully exam
lped the position and its surroundings
and is confident of his ability to cap
tuge it without serious losses.
CAPTAIN Pershing has returned tC
Camp Wears, from whence he reports
that the suitans of Macin alone are
hostile in that section OF the Lane
country.

ANEcRo's LOVE OF HIS MASTER

The following from the Montgomery
Advertiser reeounts pleasing incl
dent illustrative of the abiding a4ec-
ton of the ante-bellum negro for his
own white people.
Editor The Advertiser:
Among the many arrivals in the city
yesterday was an old colored man who
had taken advantage of the convention
rates to visit his childhood home here.
He babe his travelling companions
goodbye at the depot and Immediately
set out to find his old masters chill
dren-not to seek help, for he is fnan-
cially independent-but Just to look
once more into the faces of his town
white folks, before the silent sum
mons comes for him to leave his Texas
home and bow at the feet ofhis eternal
Sovereign
Finding the home of his young mas
ter, William Ell. Rives, he eagerly
scanned the faces of each child to find
some resemblance to either old mas
SER or misses, and then in husky
tones he asked one of the little boys to
go with him to the cemetery that he
might see the graves of those who had
cared for him in his childhood days.
There is much that is pathetic in his
longing for even the faintest remind
ers of the days before the war, and in
the affectionate reverence with which
he speaks of the early religious train
ing that his mistress gave her many
slaves. AS he wanders about the old
plantation, he recounts many story
of the past regime. 1t is a pity that
time has not left many of the Alabama
darkies to tell the tale of kindness
and love which existed between master
and slave in the Old South, form them
We find simple history of the age, en-
riched with many circumstances I'M
known in books.

NATURE NEVER CHANGES.

How often do we hear, especially
from the eminent sage yclept "the old
est inhabitant, what terrible drouths
or floods occurred, or how hot or cold
it used be when he was young man.
1t is belief of many that the win
Fers are growing colder, and the sum
mers hotter, or that there has been a
steady change in weather going on for
an infinite perior of the past, and that
the result will be at some time in the
future a world totally iuninhabitable
by living creatures such as we are ac-
quainted with. Prof. Willis l.. Moore,
Chief of the Weather Bureau, states
that no changes of climate have occur
red for several thousand years In Eu-
rope where reliable records have beeV
kept Of the dates of opening andtclos-
ing Of navigation for 400 years it is
known that no appreciate change has
taken place. There is much in ancient
history tending to show that the world
over climate has remained unchanged
for many thousand years. It is mel
that change, and not Nature, or Ma
lures laws. What has been viii be
and it viii occur about the same tim
every year, every century and ever

RECENT FAILURES 6.

figures in August at $40, involving
s., O6s. 800 in liabilities. August of last
year Witnessed SOB failures with liabil-
tiles amounting to SO, 458, 866. 1t is
the number of failures rather than the
amount involved that is taken as an
indication of the actual condition of
business affairs. Nothing more plainly
indicates the strenuousness of bust
ness pursuits in recent years than the
great increase in the number of busl-
ness failures. Many years ago in the
Southern States, failures were almost
unknown. The great ocean of business
is now dashed into furious waves by
the storms of human effort to acquire
wealth, and none but the staunchest
craft differed by the most skillful nav
igators may hope to reach the land
locked harbor Of success.

THE EMPOWER ED BEVERLEY.
That Are Soon BE opened

Marking a distinctly new departure
in Savannah dwelling houses are the
Beverley Apartments" located at the
northeast corner of Lincoln and Charl-
ton streets, to which the finishing
touches are now being put. From top
to bottom, in completeness and artistic
taste of inner arrangement, they bear
the illnesses of a woman's hand, hav-
ing been designed and planned by Mrs.
W. H. Allen.
Externally the material is of the new
cementine style. Upon the wooden
framework is laid a network of steel
lathing. and upon this is placed Port
land cement that renders the whole
structure practically fireproof, and by
a total exclusion of air, makes the
rooms cooler in summer and warmer
in winter. Beneath, between outer and
inner walls there is an air-space that
reaching to the roof and cornices
guarantee best possible ventilation. On
the Charlton street side the buildings
are of pebble dash finish. The general
color is a. buff tint, relieved by two
arched entrances of russell brown, the
whole being harmonious.
On the front, the balconies and other
woodwork are sand-finished to repre-
sent brown stone. On the white marble
steps of the main entrances in the
other vestibules are heavy cocoa rugs
of special design, tan in color. and
bearing in red lettering, Beverley"

Jack Prince will return tomorrow
from the East with new riders for the
Coliseum, and there will be others in
the races Tuesday night besides Jay
Eaton, Gussie Lawson. Charlie Tur-
vile and Henry Beckett, the local pro-
fessional.
While Bobby Walthour probably will
not come to- Savannah with Prince he
will be seen at the Coliseum a little
later in the season. when he will be
pitted against the Terrible Swede and
other fast ones. 1t is not yet known
just what riders Prince will bring with
him tomorrow. and the card for Tues
day night will not be made up until
the promoters return to the city.
1t will be a free-for-all professional
card. and only motor-paced racing
will go. Mrs. Prince received a tele-
gram yesterday from her husband, who
was in Newark, n. j.. but he made no
reference to the contracts he has clos
ed with the big riders who have Just
ended their season in the East. They
will not all come TO Savannah at the

ing the last races at the Coliseum Law

and could have gone faster. He is in

champion, and will use a more pow
erful motor when the match race is
pulled off. In the meantime, he Is
making record breaking time in train
ing, and Prince will have to bring a
crack to beat him out Tuesday night.
Jay Eaton is fine for short distances
and is training hard now to get in the
best shape for longer runs.
Turville is working hard and is
showing up well. 1t is predicted that
he will be within the money in the
coming free-for-all events. Turville has
been badly handicapped by being fore
ed to follow a poor machine, but ex-
poets to have fast one with him in
the coming races. He is training along
with Henry Beckett. the speedy Sa-
vannah rider, who will also be a factor
in the events. Turville. as we'll as

the local boy, and Beckett is riding in
great shape. He has caught on to the
trick Of tacking to the motor and has
clipped several seconds from his record
