LINE To WHITE BLUFF
NEW ROAD TO BE BUILT BY THE
SAVANNAH ELECTRIC COMPANY.
NOW UNDER CONSIDERATION.
WILL BE CONSTRUCTED WHEN
TRAFFIC WARRANTS.

Mr.. George j. Baldwin, President OF
the Company, Makes This An
nouncement-COmp Is willing
TO Lead the Way, II Any Prospect
of Profit VIII Follow the Con-
structiOn of the Line-RetaiI Mer-
chants of the City Have Promised
to Render Efficient Aid-Savannah
Electric Company Wants to TAI
Every suburb of the City-Past Ell
forts Guarantee Results.
The Savannah Electric Company has
under contemplation a project to ex-
tend its lines to White Bluff and this
improvement will be made as soon as
the circumstances will permit. This
announcement was made yesterday by
President George j. Baldwin.
Mr.. Baldwin did not give any def
mite information as to the time the
new line will be built While he did
not predicate it's building absolutely
upon the traffic that would come to
the road between the city and White
Bluff, he made this consideration a
part of his argument.
I'VE are willing and more than will
ing to lead the way" said Mr.. Bald
win but we feel we are entitled to
some evidence of the patronage we
will receive. 1t is out ultimate pur-
pose to connect the city lines with ev-
cry suburb of Savannah, but we want
to be made to feel that each of these
improvements will be at least a not
Improbable investment"
Mr.. Baldwins attention had been
called to these contemplated improve
ments through the intimation made in
the Morning News several weeks ago
that the Retail Merchants Association
would ask the Savannah Electric Com
pany to connect the several suburban
resorts with the city. and would offer
in return the encourage cement and active
support of the association in gain
ing city franchises for the company.
The association has as yet done moth
ing along this line, but that something
will be done there seems to be little
or no doubt. The merchants are as
anxious as anybody can be to open up
new avenues of trade and attract new
buyers to the city, and they will ex-
haust every effort to attain this end
Mr.. Baldwin said these improve
ments will be made by the company
just as soon as practicable. 1t is the
company's purpose to tap every su-
burb of the city and as a matter of
business to increase the patronage of
the company's lines.
I'VE have had no official communica-
ton from the Merchants Association, ."
said Mr.. Baldwin, though have talk
ed unofficially with some of it's mem
bers. When we do hear from them
the city may rest assured we will do
what we can We have built the line
to Montgomery, we have projected the
line to the settlements west of the
city and in due course we will come
to the contemplated improvement to
White Bluff. This line we intend to
build"

NO 6 O'CLOCK CLOSING.
Merchants VIII Not Grant the
Clerks Petition.


Clerks Petition.
A meeting of the Retail Merchants
Association was held at the Screven
House last night. at which a commit
tee from the Retail Clerks Association
presented it's request for o'clock clos
ing during the summer.
The meeting was a large one, nearly
every member being present. Mr.. Leo
pold Adler, president OF the associa-
ton, presided. The Clerks Committee
was composed of Messrs. Baughn, Leh-
valid and Heagarty. There was a
full discussion of the early closing
movement and its effect. both on the
retail trade and the interests of the
merchants and their employees.
The discussion was an amicable one
throughout. and while the merchants
did not see their way to a o'clock
closing, the conference resulted in
measures which, it is expected, will
benefit both the merchants and clerks.
An effort will be made to secure an
absolute closing of all retail stores at
$50 o'clock. whether the proprietors
are members of the association are not.
OF course the members of the associa-
ton will close at $50 o'clock, but it is
the purpose to make the early closing
general throughout the city.

TOOK COMPROMISE MONEY.
COlOred Doctor Charged With Lar

COlOred Doctor Charged With Lar
ceny After Trust of Peculiar Kind.
For larceny after trust under rather
peculiar circumstances, DR.. c. D. tt
son, colored, was arrested yesterday
morning and committed to Jail on a
warrant from Justice Naughtin' s
Court. ,,,,
1t is alleged that Tison took SIS of
$50 that he had collected for an old
woman named Hannah Hopkins, who
lives at Thunderbolt. Not satisfied
with over two-thirds of the amount
collected. DR.. Tison is alleged to have
secured from the woman herself $40
of the S25 that he represented to her
he had collected from the Savannah
Electric Company.
The Hopkins woman went before
Magistrate Naughtin and signed the
warrant herself. She stated that some
time since one of the cars
pany knocked her down and
badly injured her near Thunder
bolt. She claims that she suffered con-
siderable pain and called in DR.. Tison
According to the woman the question
of the liability of the railway company
was under discussion, and the negro
doctor agreed to bring about a settle
ment.
The woman says that she gave him
power of attorney and that he called
upon the railroad officials and laid the
matter before them. She charges that
they agreed upon a settlement, and
that the treasurer of the company
turned over to him $50 for her. Of
this amount DR.. Tison held out the
$55 and related to her that he had been
unable to get the company to pay him
more than $25. This he delivered to
the woman and then put in his bill for
$40, which she promptly paid. Later
she thought the amount rather small
and made inquiries of her own. The
result was the swearing out of a war
range alleging the a hove facts
