FOUGHT IN TWO WARS
HE WANTS PENSION.
Aged Veteran Looking for Comrades
of Seminole Fight.

Bent with age. a veteran of two
wars, William P. Crews of Tattnall
county is in Savannah trying to find
two men who served with him in the
Seminole war. He is seeking a pension
from the United States government for
services ne rendered for the states
prior to the Civil War.
In order to secure this pension to
which he is entitled it is necessary
for this veteran fighter to secure af-
fidavits from two of his comrades, and
he is now in Savannah trying to 10
cate them. One is man named John
Farrell. Mr.. Crews called upon Con-
gresham Rufus Z. Lester Saturday,
and yesterday visited police headquar-
ters. The police promised to assist him
in his search for his former comrades,
and every effort will be made to locate
the man named Farrell.
With five other Savannah lads, Mr..
Crews enlisted in August, 1857, to do
battle against the Seminoles, who were
then busy in the Everglades of FIori-
da. During the Indian conflict Mr..
Crews saw much hard fighting of the
bushwhacking sort, and with the other
Savannah lads had many close calls.
He stood the test along with his COM
rades, however. and when the war be-
tween the states started he was one
of the first to enlist his services in the
cause of the Confederacy. He wore
the uniform of the Southern states I'M
til the surrender of Lee, and then 1e-
turned to Savannah. short while
later, with members of his command,
he moved to Tattnall county, and he
has been living near Reidsville since
those troublesome days.
Mr.. Crews is now drawing a pension
from the state for the service he rem
dered the Confederacy but each day
he grows more feeble, and he is anX-
ious to get from the federal govern
ment the allowance to which he is en-
titled. Letters that he addressed to his
comrades of the Indian war have all
been returned to him at ReidsVille I'M
delivered, and he was advised to come
to Savannah and institute a personal
search. This he is now doing.
The veteran who has managed to get
Congressman Lester and the police in
terested in his case is II years of age
and walks with a stick. Age and hard
military service has told on him, and
he is no longer able to earn a liveli-
hood for himself. He knows that three
of his comrades have passed into the
great beyond, and Farrell and a man
named Wright are the only men, so
far as he is aware who would be able
to make his claim on the federal gov
eminent hold good and secure for him
a paltry sum that would enable him to
exist until he joins his comrades of
two strifes across the river, under the
shade of the trees"

GOVERNOR TERRELL HAS
NOT COMMITTED HIMSELF.
So Says Judge Norwood who Re-
turned from Capital City.

turned from Capital city.
Judge Thomas NJ. Norwood returned
yesterday from Atlanta, whittier he
went for the purpose of seeing Gov.
Terrell on matters relative to the City
Court judgeship. Unfortunately the
Governor was unable to give him an
audience, owing to a serious indisposi-
ton, which has necessitated his con-
finement in mis- rooms and his discon-
tinuance of matters official He re-
quested Judge Norwood to remain in
Atlanta until to-day when by the per-
mission of his physician, he would be
able to talk with him. This Judge
Norwood was unwilling to do, because
Of the pressure of business in the City
Court.
Judge Norwood held a telephone
conversation with the Governor, in
which the latter expressed his great
regret at not being able to see him in
person. Judge Norwood assured his ex-
cellency that he would return at his
earliest opportunity. He said yester-
day that nothing definite was accom-
plished by his visit to the Capital City.
He said that so far as he knew the
Governor had not committed himself
in the matter. The Atlanta Constitu-
ton, in commenting on Judge Nor
woods visit, has the following to say:
Judge Norwood has been on the
bench of the City Court of Savannah
for the last seven years. He was first
appointed by Gov. Atkinson, and at the
expiration of his term was reappolnted
by Gov. Gambler. His legal ability is
well recognized, and he has made an
able judge. Judge Norwood has served
In the House of Representative as con-
gresham for several terms, and was
at ore time United States senator from
Georgia. He was also a candidate
for Governor some years ago. He has
had a distinguished political career
ana is also known as an author, having
writer several books which have been
widely read"

Rev. George Solomon was unani-
mously elected minister of the congre-

COMMITTEES FOR THE FAIR.
Sacred Heart Church Has Been Pre-
scented With New window,


scented With New window.
Within a short time now the com
mittees to have charge of the details
of the Sacred Heart Fair will be APP
pointed, and get actively to work.
This fair, as has been stated in the
Morning News, is to begin Easter
Tuesday and continue for some two
weeks. 1t is given for the purpose of
securing funds with which to continue
the work of building the new church
of which the foundation has already
been laid at Bull and Thirty-third
streets.
That the fair will be a success is
not questioned, in fact is assured by
the loyal support that the congregation
always gives any and all entertain
ments that are given in behalf of the
church and its work. Besides the fair
will open at a favorable season and
under excellent auspices. Rt. Rev. Leo
Haid, o. S. B., Bishop of North Car
DINA, will be present on the opening
night and possibly other distinguished
guests. 1t had been intended to have
among these Ri. Rev. Harry North
rop, Bishop of Charleston, but he will
be unable to be present, because of
presiding at similar entertainment
to be given in Charleston on the same
night.
Though the building of the Sacred
Heart Church ceased with the laying
of the foundations, the interest con-
tinues active as is shown by the do
nations that are being received for it,
Among the latest of these is a stained
glass window of which the subject is
st. Boniface, a member of the Order
of ST. Benedict, and the patron saint
of the Germans.
This now gives the church eight of
the ten windows that have been plan
ned for the sides of the church. So
soon as the building is little nearer
completion it is expected that the re-
mainder of these windows as we'll as
the two larger ones to be placed at
the rear of the main altar also will
be received.

Is NOT A REMNANT
OF BIG0TRY.

Rev. RObt. Van Deventer UphOIds
Rev. G. C. Morgan, MOody's Sue

Rev. Robert Van Deventer of the Duff

night upon The Fountain of Life TAX
ing his subject from the first phrase of
the 4th verse, LIST chapter of John,
I'm him was Life" I'm him was life;
and the life was the light of men, reads
the verse.
Rev. Mr.. Van Deventer said in his
introduction that his subject was time
ly in as much as Rev. G. Campbell
Morgan, the successor at Mortified of
Dwight L. Moody, who recently arrived
in a neighboring city of the state, to
take part in a series of lenten services
of a non-denominational character, had
refused to have anything to do with
the services because among it's promo
tiers was a Unitarian preacher who
denied the divinity of Christ.

Deventer in part: Jesus said I am
Not that he only was or would be, but
he was, is and always would be. Eter-
nal. Jesus was always eternal-eVer-
lasting and everlasting. Rev. Mr.. Nor
gan was right. He believed that Jesus
was God and did not see the use of
conducting services with one who did
not believe it. One of the ministers of
our city said in an interview that the
Rev. Mr.. Morgan's attitude was a rem
nant of bigotry. That was probably
the first time this has been said Of
him. The same minister said that
though those to whom the Rev, Mr..
Morgan objected did accept Christ they
lived his teachings. How absurd! If
they do not accept him they deny him
That is the same as saying they can
get along without him. 1t is written
that Jesus said he was the life. the
truth, and the way. If he is the life
how then is there any living without
him? If he is the truth how is there
any knowing without him? If he is the
way how can there be any going with
out him? Christ is everything and I'M
less the path he has outlined is fol-
lowed there can be no salvation. Upon
your relation with Christ, God. de-
ponds your salvation. You must walk

CHAIRMAN DAFFIN FAv0RS
PROTECTING GRASS PLOTS.

The agitation that has. been begun
looking towards adding to the beauty
of Savannah by keeping up the grass
plats, is favored by Chairman 2. u.
Daffin of the Park and Tree Commls-
sion, Acting Mayor James NJ. Dixon
and Col. George A. Mercer.
Residents who will undertake TO
beautify the ground in front of their
homes will receive every encourage
ment, and it can be stated with safety
that if citizens kill off fowls that de-
stroy the flower beds and grass plots
they will suffer no harm. Col. Mercer
is glad that the women of Savannah
have taken the matter up, and is GER
tain that with them behind the move
ment it cannot help but be a success:
Acting Mayor Dixon has expressed
himself as being in favor of assisting
in any plan that looks towards the
identifying of the city. He thinks that
some arrangements should be made
whereby the city would keep up these
plots after they have been once put IN
attractive shape by the property own
ers. Mr.. Dixon realizes that the keep
ing up of the grass plots would ada
much to the appearance OF the CITY
and thinks that it should be done. He
mas always DGen III IdNOT VI 4ldhlhS
Savannah more beautiful.
Chairman Daffin says that he can
be depended upon in every way to as
sist in the movement. He is heartily
in favor of the scheme and declares
that whatever he can do will be done.
He is in favor of the city making Il
special appropriation for the beautify-
ing of all the plots throughout the
city. Mr.. Daffin thinks that this would
necessitate an expenditure of between
$4,000 and $4,000, but feels that it
would be money well spent The Park
and Tree Commission, he says, would
be willing to look after the work. Mr.
Daffin says that in almost every case
rich earth will have to be carted to
the city. and that the plots will have
to be built of muck and heavier soil.
1t is his intention to ask for a special
appropriation for this work again
next year. and to urge upon Council
the necessity for making such a spe-
cial appropriation.
If at this time, however, property
owners can be induced to beautify the
plots in front of their homes the ex-
pense will not be heavy upon any one,
and Mr.. Daffin says that for nominal
amount the Park and Tree Commission
could keep these plots in good condi-
ton. 1t is believed that Council would
make such an appropriation at once, if
the residents would get to work and
plant the plots. Many property own
ers. however, have held back because
of the damage done by fowls. The
killing off of chickens found in the
streets, however, would remove this
difficulty. While on this work of inn
provement Chairman Daffin is partic-
ularly anxious to have Council look in
to the matter of curbing for the
parade ground. 1t is badly needed on
the western side of the Park Extern
sion. Mr.. Daffin also thinks that some
thing should be done with some OF the
walks in the parade ground.
