GIFT FOR THE GEORGIA.
How the Suggestion Is Viewed by
Savannahians.

hO" FANVNu ny
Savannahians.
II think some gift from the people
of Georgia for the battleship Georgia
would be a graceful Offering" said
Mayor Myers yesterday. Some sub
scription list should be opened in every
county in the state, and opportunity
should be given all to contribute. 1t
would be necessary for none to give a
considerable amount and a few cents
from each citizen would mean a great
sum from the entire state. No, do not
think the present is. any too early to
be engaged upon such a plan, even
though the completion of the battleship
may be distant year or more"
Each of the banks in the city," said
Alderman Dixon, when spoken to about
the matter. should help out as they
did when Lieut.. Brumby was presented
with sword by the people of Georgia.
Savannah came to the fore nobly in
that subscription, and l believe it will
do it again in this plan for presenting
the Georgia with some adequate token
of the pride the people of the state will
feel in so gallant a ship"
Certainly the people of the state
should make such a gift said Alder
man Watson. TT has been the custom
for a state to make some presentation
to a ship when the government bestows
upon it that states name, and Georgia.
would not fail in what had grown to
be recognized as a patriotic custom.
splendid silver service would be a
fine expression of the peoples pride in
the ship"
Il do not see, why the banks should
take that matter up" said President
Mills b. Lane of the Citizens Bank
at least, not yet. There is plenty of
time"
How long is it before the vessel is
to be completed? A year? Then l do
not see any need for hurrying. Wait
until two or three months before she
is to be finished said Mr.. j. p. Will
liams, land then the people of Georgia
can get up the fund for the presenta-
tion. To rush SO hastily into the effort
to raise money to buy a gift for a
ship that is, at last, to have bestowal
of Georgias name, with which a vessel
might long since have been graced by
the government, seems to me to smack
of fawning, cringing appreciation of
what is but our right and due"

tanned through the gross negligence of
the employees of the city.
The plaintiff says he was riding
wheel near the corner of Oglethorpe

he sustained other injuries, which he
claims are permanent and from which
he suffered and still suffers much pain
He paid out 5000 for physicians and
medicine bills and asks a Judgment for
this as well as damages for his in
Juries. He claims the hole in the paw

an unfailing specific in all cases of
dyspepsia and disordered digestion.
Almost everybody's digestion is dis
ordered more or less, and the COM
monest thing they do for it is to take
some one of the many so-called blood
purifiers, which in many cases are
merely strong cathartics. Such things
are not needed. If the organs are in
a clogged condition, they need only a
little help and they will right them
selves. Cathartics irritate the sensi-
tive Innings of the stomach and bow
els and often do more harm than good.
Purging is not what is needed. The
thing to do is to put the food in con-
dition to be readily digested and as
simulated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
do this perfectly. They partly digest
what is eaten and give the stomach
just the help it needs. They stimulate
the secretion and excretion of the di
gestive fluids and relieve the congested
condition of the glands and men,
branes. They put the whole digestive
system in condition to do its work.
When that is done you need take no
more tablets. unless you eat what
does not agree with you. Then take
one or two tablets-give them needed
help and you will have no trouble.
It's a common sense medicine and a
common sense treatment and it will
cure every time. Not only cure the
disease but cure the cause. Goes about
il in a perfectly sensible and scientific
way.
We have testimonials enough to fill

MIR. Pay ne Declines to Take Tn Ath-
ems Case Until He Can Get Better
Posted.
Washington, d. c., Jan. 16.-Post-
master General Payne declined to-day
to take up the Athens postoffice case
on the request of the supporters of
Postmaster Morton. The Republican
organization leaders have been en-
deavoring to hasten action on the case,
and for that purpose called at the
Postoffice Department in force to-day,
but the new postmaster general said
he was not at all acquainted with the
details of the contest, and for that
reason could not grant the request.
He explained that he was new to
things in the big building on Pennsyl-
vania avenue and could not agree to
go into contests until he had a better
grasp of things.
j. G. Harris, postmaster at Barnes
vile, called at the White House with
a batch of papers in his case. He is
being opposed by b. A. Lifsey. who
has the Endorsement of the Republi
can organization. Mr.. Harris says that
Auditor Castle, who handles the post
office accounts, commends him in the
highest terms, and wants to see him
reappointed, and he hopes to get
through on his record. The organiza
ton leaders are, however, confident
that Lifsey will be appointed.
Conyers has a postofiice fight be-
tween Mrs. Melton, the present incum-
bent of the office, and a Republican
named McCullum. Mrs. Melton has
been pos tmistress for a number of
years and has strong Endorsements.
The Republican organization seems to
be considerably divided and the pres
ent indications point to Mrs. Melton's
reappointment.
Two other postoffice contests which
will probably be decided within a few
days are those of Waycross and Eaton
ton. Postmaster McNeel, at Waycross.
has the Endorsement of the Republican
leaders for reappointment Congress
man Livingston has been asked on per-
sonal grounds to interest himself i'm
