TYBEE'S BIG DAY.
Savannahians and ExcurstOnists
SweIIed Tide of Travel.

Savannahians and ExcursiOnists
SweIIed Tide of Travel.
Tybee yesterday had one of the larg-
est days of the season. Two thousand
and fifty people visited the island and
enjoyed the bathing, the breezes and the
music. So large crowd visited the ISL
and, in fact, that the railroad had to
use all of it's resources to handle them.
But it did take care of them and that
with only a slight delay in some of
the late afternoon trains. The greater
part of the crowd went down on the
$3.50 train, which was operated in two
sections. The first consisted of nine
and the second of fourteen coaches,
and they were all crowded.
The exceptionally heavy travel was
brought about by the fact that not
ians visit the island, but very large
number of eXcursionists from the in
terror towns, Atlanta, Macon, Augusta
and Dublin. There were 500 of these
eXcursionists. AS the South End Pavil-
ion of Mr.. w. M. Bohan also was well
patronized, it can be seen that the
crowd was abnormally large.
Tide was suitable for bathing all the
afternoon and hundreds of persons
were in the surf all of that time. A
strong wind made the surf pretty live
ly. The usual fine programmes of mu-
sic were played by the orchestra at
each of the hotels

PARABLE OF THE SOWER.
Rev. BascOm Anthony's Sermon at
Trinity Church.

Rev. Bascom Anthony preached at
Trinity Methodist Church last night on
the parable of the sower, as related in
the opening verses of the thirteenth
chapter of Matthew. The sermon was
a strong exhortation to right living and
high thinking.
Rev. Mr.. Anthony said the parable
represented in it's teaching the four
kinds of men to whom is brought the
word of God The seed that fell by
the wayside represents the reception of
the truth, or rather it's failure to be
received, in the hard hearts of the dis
solute and caEeless; that which fell
upon stony places, the effect of Gods
word upon the shallow Drained and
morally weak, who have not sufficient
stamina to withstand temptation; that
which fell among thorns, the reception
accorded the truth by those whose i'm
pulses are good, but whose lives and
hearts are so filled with worldly hopes
and ambitions that the aspiration that
leads to a life beyond the stars is
choked in it's birth; the seed that fell
into good ground, land brought forth
fruit, some a hundred-fold some six
tY-fold, some thirty-fold," represents
the reception of the teachings and
promises of Christianity in the minds
and hearts and the effect upon the
lives of those who are mentally and
normally able to assimilate and be
benefited by them.
To bring forth fruit, to produce an
enduring impression for good upon the
world, to benefit and elevate human
ity, to serve God and keep his COM
ruandments, Mr.. Anthony said were
the highest aSpira lions that could ami
mate the human breast The ambitions
that tend to worldly success and
earthly preferment We're built upon the
sand-they could not endure; the as
pirations that seek their fulf1lment and
find their ultimate goal in the mansion
beyond the stars, alone will last
through eternity.

MORE MAY Be FIRED
DISMISSAL OF POLICEMEN MAY NOT
STOP WITH SIX.
OTHERS ARE IN DANGER.
MAY GO BECAUSE THEY ARE "PO-
LITICALLY UNSYMPATHETIC.'

OmciaI Notification That Their Ser
vices Are No Longer Wanted VIII
Probably He Given the Men To-day.
DismfssaIs Effective Mt once-Last
Official Act of the Mayor Before
His Vacation Was the Signing of
the Discharges-As other Cities
Follow This Plan, why Not Savan-
nah.
The six policemen who did not hap
pen to be on the right side of the po-
litical fence and whom it was decided
should lose their heads had not re-
ceived their, dismissals last night
Chief of Police Reilly stated to a
Morning News reporter last night that
the men who have been discharged
will be notified of their dismissal to-
day. AS soon as the men report for
duty they will be officially notified that
they have been discharged from the
force and that other men have been
appointed in their places.
Chief Reilly declined to discuss the
matter and would not express an opin-
ion as to the dismissals.
The policemen who have had their
heads taken off would say nothing
about the matter. The reason given
for their silence was that they had
not been notified of their discharge.
The notices will be given out,
beginning with the first relief
going on duty and continuing
until all six have been officially in
formed that they are out.
1t may be that the ak will not be
fashioned into a ploughshare, as 1t
were. On the contrary, its edge will
probably be kept sharp, for it may be
that there are more heads to be Topped
off. An alderman said yesterday that it
is not likely that the decapitation of
politically unsympathetic" policemen
will cease with the dismissal of the
six.
The admission that it was for politi-
cal reasons that the six men are to
lose their places on the force Is very
openly made. The heads of the adj
ministration incline to view that the
old slogan of the victocs and the spoils
should apply. They say too, that they
consider that the best results follow
when every member and employee of
the city government is in thorough
harmony with the administration.
The discharge of the officers was the
last official act of Mayor Myers be-
fore his departure for the North. The
orders for their dismissal were signed
by him.
In some other cities it is a recognized
law that only employees who back up
the administration, instead of oppos-
ing it, are retained. IF other cities
have such a custom, why can't Savan-
nah?" asked those of the administra-
ton.

CROWDS AT THUNDERBOLT.
Three Thousand People Visited Pop
uIar Resort Yesterday.

Yesterday was one of the biggest
days of the season at Thunderbolt and
over 5000 people visited the resort. Ex-
ira cars had to be run to accommo-
date the crowds.
The balloon ascension which was
scheduled to take place did not come
off. At the last moment when every
thing was in readiness and the aero
naut was preparing to go up an acct
dent happened to the initiating apparat-
US. and the ascension had to be callei
off
The aeronaut, however, declares that
he will make another attempt and that
he will guarantee to go up in his bal
loon.
There were many other attractive
features at Thunderbolt yesterday
which compensated for the failure of
the balloon ascension. Many persons
went bathing in the pool and a number
of sailing parties were taken out. The
First Regiment band gave two con-
certs, one in the afternoon and an
other in the evening. Good programmes
had been carefully arranged and the
concerts were much enjoyed by the
crowds.
The moving pictures, displayed on a
large sheet visible from the veranda of
the Casino, also attracted a large
crowd. All of the views shown yester-
day were new and many pleasing nov
elites were introduced

ON OUTSIDE LINES
street Railways Construction For
ces Have Been at Work.

ces Have Been at Work.
The construction and repair forces
of the Savannah Electric Company
have been working for several months
on the outside lines. The result Of
their labors is shown in the great i'm
provement of the roadways. When the
work has been finished, every one of
the suburban lines will be in perfect
condition.
The differences in the physical con-
ditions of the lines since the Sayan-
nah Electric Company assumed their
control is very apparent. Much money
has been expended for betterment. and
the system is far more perfect. 1t is
operated with the view of earning
money, and at the same time affording
the public the best possible service in
return for patronage.
Work is now going on on the lines
between Sandfy and Thunderbolt. This
will be finished within ten days. The
Isle of Hope line has been thoroughly
repaired, and there is not one of the
outside lines that has a smoother or
easier roadbed. The betterment is APP
preciated by Isle of Hope residents
and by the numbers of visitors to that
popular resort.
Proprietor A. NJ. Barbee of the res
taurant and pavilion at Isle of Hope
has reduced the number of his dance
nights, so that they are held only on
Wednesdays. There is always a large
attendance, and the dancers -: on
lockers find great pleasure in their
visits to the pavilion. Mr.. Barbee has
removed the admission price, so that
gentlemen, as well as ladies' are adj
mitted free to the pavilion. There is
an excellent arrangement for bathing
at the pavilion, and both men and la
dies patronize it. Beneath the pavilion
is an enclosed pool, in which ladies
and children find any depth and per-
feet safety. In the river outside men
battle, and the swimming is excellent
A springboard and high-diving stands
are at hand for the convenience of the
swimmers, and spectators enjoy the
aquatic feats of those who are VEN
turesome and expert enough to dive
from the greatest nights. Mr.. BarDee
has made a special concession to
members of the police and fire depart
ment and to street railway conductors
and motormen, to all of whom he rents
bathing suits and bath rooms at half
price.
General Manager G. o. Maggie of the
Savannah Electric Company said yes
terday that the construction forces of
the company will soon be brought to
the city, when a years work on the
improvement of the city lines will be
commenced When this has been DONE
the system will be perfect. This work
will include the construction of the
double tracks where they have been
authorized by Council and the estab-
lishment of additional curves and
switches.
