A CLAIM IN EQUITY.
Mai. Rynls Thinks Operation of Air
Lift Gives Him One.


Lift Gives Him One.
Maj. G. M. Ryals addressed COM
munication to the Mayor and Aldermen
yesterday, presenting his claim for
damages through the effect of the city's
artesian wells upon the we'll on his
place west of the city. He recites the
belief that he has an equitable claim
against the city, and asks the Mayor
and Aldermen to consider it.
Some years ago, Mai. Ryals says,
he had a we'll sunk on his place. This
afforded a natural flow some seven
feet above the surface, enabling him to
irrigate his lands and enhancing the
value of his place. The city subse-
quently sank it's wells, and the water
in his well was so reduced as to place
the head some distance below the sur
face. This necessitated the use of a
pump, where the natural flow had suf-
feed.
This was no inconsiderable damage
to the place. but Maj. Ryals has a fur
Their grievance that has come with the
installation of the air lift The increased
flow of the city's wells has decreased
the depth of the water in his well, so
that he has had to add lengths of pipe
to his pump. Maj. Ryals asks a hear
ing before Council.
Mayor Myers was asked what he
thought of Maj Ryals claim and if
it were equitable. He answered that,
as Maj. Ryals has a communication
filed with the clerk of Council, he did
not like to express his opinion.

A Few Questions for You to Answer.
What viii You Do About 1t:


Will you fool yourself by telling the
life insurance agent that you will take
the chances awhile longer, when in
reality you make your helpless wife
and children bear the burden of your
procrastination? Don't you know OF
many who intended to leave life in
surance money to their families, but
who really left them a good push to
the poor-house? The poet talks about
mans humanity to man." What
about mans inhumanity to woman
the sin of the uninsured? Life insur-
ance premiums are, or ought to be,
as much a part of the household ex-
will appease the hunger of the pres
ent, the other of the future. Life in
surance premiums paid should go to
a company solid, honest, conservative,
reliable; one that writes a policy with
cash surrender, paid-up participating
insurance, cash loans, premium loans,
extended insurance, installment OPP
lions, and which provides for almost
every contingency. One that returns
annually to policy-holders large divi-
dends to help pay premiums or to buy
additional insurance. Such a company
is The Massachusetts Mutual Life; or
ganized 1851. Harty- & Apple of this
city are state managers, and Will be
pleased to show specimen policies at
your age upon application.-ad.

MERCURYS ANTICS.

and Going Up Again.
The mercury in the thermometer
didn't do a thing yesterday. Having
shown its capabilities in the way Of
high climbing for two days. it seemed
determined to give an exhibition in
quick change" business. and at one
time endeavored to see how low down
it could get.
Unlike Aytoun's, the morning did not
open full darkly: on the contrary it
was clear and bright and, though
few clouds lowered timidly on the
horizon, the sun was doing business at
the same old stand. However, a cool
ing breeze mitigated his severity.
The remarkable part of the perform
ance came in between l and 2 o'clock.
Observations at the Weather Bureau
show that, during the heavy rain in
five minutes, and from 100 to 1875
o'clock, the mercury took a drop of II
degrees. or from "a degrees to 70 de-
grees. About the same time the wind
cndeavored to see what it could do
on its own hook 1t began to squat,
and from 1870 to las blew at the rate
of Sc miles an hour, but soon moder-
ated.
The minimum temperature was
reached at 2 o'clock, and was II de-
grees. From then the trend was up
ward. The maximum for the day was
SO as compared with 102 for Thursday
and SO for Friday. The change was not
confined to Savannah for the other
principal cities of the state reported
declines Augusta having a maximum
of 80, and Atlanta IS. Charleston also
had thunderstorms and a topnotch
temperature of So.
The forecasters do not hold out much
hope of the change being lasting. The
Washington representations sent out
last night say there will be occasional
showers to-day and warmer again to-
morrow. Forecaster Boyer said that
for Savannah there are more thunder
storms ahead, but the GOODNESS does not
promise to be permanent The center
of the heated territory at the time of
the last report was over the Central
Gulf region, with Mobile 90 degrees
and New Orleans and Montgomery
also SO degrees.

Solicitor Harvey ON Hand.
L. Gordon Harvey. Esq, of Savan-
nah, was one of the several whose only
object in being present at the convention
was the interest they felt in it. Mr..
Harvey was a candidate for the sena-
torship, and in Bryan county he ran
Mr. Moore good race. Mr.. Harvey
is solicitor for Bryan, and is well
known to its citizens. He ascribes his
defeat largely to the fact that his resi-
dence Is not now in Bryan, though he
was reared in the county.
When delegates and others gathered
about in knots before and after the
convention they INDUCED in a little
good-natured badinage, the brunt of
which Mr.. Harvey had TO withstand.
He took it all in good part, however,
and seemed to think that there would
yet be chance for him to win the
senatorial honors that had not come
his way this time.
i think you can congratulate your
self on the race you made" declared
one of the gentlemen from Bryan,
You did mighty well, in my opinion.

Mayor Nelson of ThunderboIt Not
Interfering with Air Lift.


Interfering With Air Lift.
The compressed air lift has certainly
caused a diminution in the amount of
water in the wells at Thunderbolt
The Morning News yesterday quoted
a statement from Mayor Nelson that
since the installation of the lift the
water had sunk to lower level and
in subsequent conversation he sub
stantiated this, saying that while he
had not been able to say just how
much it had been affected, the effect
was plainly noticeable.
When asked what he was going to
do about it, he said that there was
nothing that could be done. Eavan-
nah had perfect right to do whatever
it pleased with her own waterworks
and no one had any right to interfere
with her. My remark" he added
was jocular one merely and 1 did
not intend to be understood as making
any threat or objection"
