Homes on Seventh Street.

Seventh street is undoubtedly
the finest street in the southern
section, and one of the finest in the
city; vacant lots on that street sell
from $1,000 to $4,000. and the man of
ordinary means has had mighty poor
chance to get a home on that street,
but now is your opportunity. Look at
the nice two story residence, Thirty
seventh street, near West Broad, brand
new and thoroughly well built; also
look at the new house on Thirty
eighth, near Wells Square, just west
of West Broad, l can sell you these
houses at $3.50 and make the terms
to suit you. If you can pay rent you
can pay for one of these houses. On
the same block l have a nice little
cottage at $1,000, and vacant lots very
cheap; this is a rapidly improving sec
ton, and you will regret it if you
don't buy now If you want something
better, l have that too. John l..

The Grandest Century in the
Worlds History.

Is the title of book by Henry Dav-
export Northrop. which should be
warmly welcomed in every household.
1t is invaluable as a book of refer
ence and for general educational pur-
poses.
The large number of illustrations (be-
ing the best of their kind ever grouped
together in an ordinary priced book
will have a special attraction for old
and young, and are alone worth many
times the price of the volume.
The principal events of the century
in the several fields of art, scenic and
war, are thoroughly and interestingly
treated. The articles on Inventions
being invaluable, and not to be found
together in any other publication.
Finally, it is a compendium of the
worlds history during the century
which cannot be found in any one
book ever published before.-ad.

VOTERS NOT so ANXIOUS.
Falling on i'm Registration During
Last Week.

L0St week.
The people of Chatham county do not
seem to be quite as anxious to have
their names enrolled as voters as they
were two weeks ago. The total num-
Der registered for the past week was
400, while for each of the two preceding
weeks the registration had been so per
cent. higher.
The total Registration to date is 1905,
which includes the names of sixty-th three
voters added to the lists on yesterday.
OF the total number of qualified voters
1868 are white and 142 are colored.
No effort on the part of either poIiti-
cal faction to register voters seems to
be in progress, though both of them are
now represented in the office. Maurice
Buttimer has been loking after the in
terests of the opposition for some time,
and yesterday r. w. Ferguson showed
up and began work for the opposition.
Both are keeping close and attentive
eye on every name added to the list.
Otherwise they seem to be taking no
part in the registration of voters, and
those who are now being qualified to
vote at the coming elections are prin-
cipally of the conservative element,
whose interest in politics is not usually
very fervent and whose political allegi-
ance to either faction not by any means
of the hard and fast variety.
The disturbances in the political at
mosphere seem to indicate that II will
not be long before the warning forces
viii begin to concentrate their ener-
gies on the registration. 1t is a rec
ognized political maxim, in Savannah,
at least, that more battles are won
in the office of the tax COLLECTOR than
in the political meetings that precede
elections or on that fateful day itself.
1t very generally happens that the
election day result simply expresses
what to those on the inside was al
ready foregone conclusion

The tendency of the times is towards
intense individual action. Many a
business owes its success to the brains,
energy and strenuous efforts of the
man at the helm. Without him the
business must fail-matters not how
the machinery may have been perfect
ed. His death ends the directing pow
er, the foresight and indomitable va
that made possible the achievement of
a wonderful success. Even If the man
is spared to reach a ripened age, he
cannot keep alive his indomitable will
his energy wanes with increasing age.
To every man the future Is a sealed
book-no one knows what an hour may
bring forth. This proves beyond ques-
ton the ACCESSIBILITY of having su1fi-
cient amount of good life insurance,
not only as a prudent provision against
death, but as a sheet anchor against
troublesome times. Such insurance is
offered by the Massachusetts, Mutual
Life Insurance Company, whose poll
cies provide for every possible contin-
gency viz: Paid-up participating in
surance, cash surrender values, pre-
MUM loans, cash loans. extended in
suranceA annual dividends, which if
not drawn in cash to reduce the cost
may be left with the company at in
terest to hasten the maturity of the
policy, or used to increase the amount of
the policy each year. Dividends left
with the Massachusetts Mutual cannot
be forfeited by death, or surrender of
the policy.

BURGLARS BOLD WORK.
Stole Under Glare of Lights and mt
Patrol Box.

Patrol Box.
Under the glare of an electric light
and within a few feet of a patrol box
burglars entered and robbed the bar
Der shop of P. Edward Perry at Lib
erty and Whitaker streets some time
Friday night, or yesterday morning.
Seven boxes of cigars and a writing
desk were taken. The robbery was
not discovered until o'clock in the
morning, when one of the BARRIERS
went to open the store.
The man was surprised to find both
doors unlocked, and an examination
disclosed the fact that the cigars and
desk had been carried away. None
of the property has been recovered
and the police are at a loss to under
stand what has become of the desk.
The burglars evidently thought it con-
tanned money, and were probably sore
when they discovered that there was
nothing of value in it. They also
opened the cash register, but found
no money there.
The burglary was a bold one and
those who investigated it are confident
that 1t was not committed by the two
men who have been guilty of the other
robberies. One of the Gamewen boxes
from which patrolmen send in their re-
corner as the barber shop. An electric
light is also on the corner and a light

work in the open. The store was en-

street door and the thieves left with

and the police are confident that the
crime was committed by two men who
We're thoroughly familiar with the bar
Der shop.
Clements grocery store, at Bolton
and Burroughs streets, was also
robbed some time Friday night, but in
manner altogether different from the
other robberies. While the store was
crowded with persons listening to music
the thief cut pane of glass in one
or the windows and took several bottles
OF whlskey. glass cutter was used.
ana the cut was a clean one. When
the store was closed, and the windows
were barred and bolted the broken
glass was not noticed, and the discov-
cry was not made until morning. The
proprietor of the store is quite GER
tain that the crime was committed
while the store was open, for the reason
tndt lhe pars were not touched and
the glass could have only been cut in
the manner described.
Supt. Reilly had another conference
with Mayor Myers yesterday on the
subject of burglaries, but Just what
conclusion was reached was not made
known. The Mayor appeared ANNOYED
at the publicity and refused to saw
what had happened. Strict orders were
issued to the police to remain silent
when they know anything and the SUI
perintendent was instructed to furnish
the Mayor each morning with a report
OF all cases at headquarters. The
Mayor stated that II any Information is
TO be given out he will give f. The
police were given to understand that
the order TO shut up was from the
Mayor.
