Mayor Myers said that he had visit
ed a number of buildings with Mr..
Ferst and Mr.. Weiss. but so far as
they had gone, there are none adapted
to a cigar factory. A building with am
pie room around it and thoroughly
lighted is required. Mr.. Weiss said
that he had no doubt that within a

would be done by the Cigar Company

talk and the confidence he expressed
in the proposed factory, left little doubt
in the minds of those who were at the
conference that 1t is an enterprise that
Savannah wants.
The meeting to-day will discuss the
question further and a committee will
probably be appointed to arrange
plan for securing the factory. What
ever is done will have to be done at
once as Mr.. Weiss proposition must
be finally accepted, if at all, by next
Monday.

which will be his earning capacity,

to cash some of it in advance. In
short, he wants to make his voice his

There is nothing like having both
feet on the ground. If man should
go barefoot the contact of his bare
feet with the earth and his head pro-
jecting into the atmosphere would
make a perfect electrical conductor
through which the electricity of the

the earth. While no apparent harm
is done, yet being insulated from the
electricity of the earth by wearing
shoes the electricity fails of it's bene-
