One of the pleasantest musical con-
certs of the week was given yesterday
afternoon at Ludden & Bates.
The large concert hall on the second
floor was thrown open to the people
and long before the hour for the con-
cert to begin every seat was taken.
And before the closing hour standing
room was hardly to be had.
The programme printed in yester-
days Morning News was carried out
in a highly satisfactory manner. The
selections for the pianola were especi-
ally good and those of the aeolian
were very greatly enjoyed. To vary
the programme Mr.. Banks gave several
songs very acceptably and was called
back more than once.
Mr. Winburn who played Mr.. Banks
accomplishments and who rendered
several pretty instrumental pieces, be-
side, came in for his share of the au-
dience's approval.
Mr. Banks who conducts this DEPART
ment of Ludden & Bates, promises
lovers of music a more enjoyable af-
ternoon two weeks hence. No concert
will be given next week, but each Fri
day afternoon following will be de-
voted to the pianola concert.

SAVANNAH WILL HAVE
A FAIR NEXT FALL.
That Is What the Racing AssOcia-
tiOn Is Working For.

The. directors of the Savannah Rae
ing Association at their meeting yes
terday discussed the question of hold
ing a fair in Savannah next fall, and
the probability is that there will be
one.
The association is in good working
condition, and its fair grounds and
race track as every one knows, are
the best in the South.
The report of the treasurer showed
that the expense of maintaining the
property so far had been more than
met by the receipts.
The members of the board present
were President G. w. Owens, Vice
President A. B. Moore, Second Vice
President and General Manager H. II.
Hull, Secretary and Treasurer Joseph
A. Doyle. and Messrs. Tiedeman, Levy,
Estill and Davis almost a full board.
Col. Estll offered a resolution that
the president appoint a committee of
three to consider the question of hold
ing fair during the coming fall, and
that the general manager furnish a
programme for and an estimate of the
cost of races during the fair.
The resolution was unanimously
agreed to, and President Owens stated
that he would appoint the committee
at once.

EMPLOYING 225
OPERATORS NOW.
Cigar Factory Is Ready to Take on
One Hundred More at Once,

Cigar Factory Is Ready to Take on
One Hundred More at Once.
The managers of the Savannah fac
tory of the American Cigar Company
are adding girls to the operating force
every day. They are now employing
225 girls. Many of the operators are
becoming very proficient and in a short
time the factory will turn out high
grade cigars. More girls are wanted.
One hundred can be used in the next
ten days. Many of those now employ
ed are making from 81 to So a week.
The factory room in which the
tables, at which the girls work, are
placed, is large and well ventilated.
The ceiling is high, there are
many windows which admit plenty of
sunlight, the floor is as clean as that
of a dining room. and the clean white
painted walls and ceiling give the room
a bright cheerful appearance which is
very desirable and conducive to the
comfort of the operators and is quite
different from the prevailing idea of
a factory.
The girls employed are as COM
Portable in every manner as in many
other positions. Strange to say there
is not the expected odor one would
count on finding where there is so
much tobacco but that is due entirely
to the well cured condition of the to-
bacco which is used.

A Tower of strength.

The showing made by the Prudential
Insurance Company of America, whose
home office is at Newark, N. J., fully
entities it to the claim of possessing
the strength of Gibraltar"
During 1902 the Prudential wrote
over two hundred and seventy-two mil
lion dollars of new insurance, paid for,
which amount is the largest ever writ
ten by any life insurance company of
the same age. Its report on Jan. l,
1908, was as follows: Paid-for insur-
ance in force, eight hundred and two
million dollars, on nearly five million
policies with assets over sixty million
dollars; surplus over nine million dol
lars; annual income over thirty-three
million dollars, a total payment to
policy-holders since the foundation of
the company of nearly sixty-eight mil
lion dollars.
This record speaks for itself. Those
who wish to know more about this
progressive company and of it's popu-
lar policies which are adapted to all
ages, and for all amounts from fifteen
dollars to one hundred thousand dol
lars, would do well to communicate
with the Home Office, Newark, N. ].

for the past three years, having sue
ceeded the late H. NJ. Conner resigned
at meeting of the directors held yes
terday. The reason for Mr.. Rauers' res

at the urgent request of the stockhold-
ers he consented to serve again. His
resignation was accepted and a reso-
luton passed appointing a committee
to present in proper form the thanks
of the corporation for his efficient
services.

vent him from attending to the duties
of the Office.

1t was decided to hold a stockholders
meeting for the purpose of changing

S1OO.NO Per RnffIe.

This seems a pretty big price to pay
for a single bottle of medicine, and vet
if you consider the matter rightly, it
is a very cheap price for a bottle of
Johnson's Tonic.
Here is what fixes its value:
First. No man can die of fever who
uses it half way right.
Second. No other medicine can cure
a bad attack of grip.
500 is dirt cheap for this wonderful
medicine, and yet you can buy it for so
cents a bottle.
Don't buy it from substitutors. Your
health and happiness is your business.
and making money out of you is their
business.
Buy the honest Johnson's Tonic. Take
no counterfeit or substitute .-ad.

EX-SLAVES' CONGRESS.
Alleged fraudulent Collections Said
to He Made in savannah.

A rumor has been current the last few
days that the promoters of the move
ment to have the government pension
all surviving ex-slaves of the South, are
gathering money from ex-sIaves in Sa-
vannah, alleged to be eligible to the
pension.
An investigation was made Of the
matter yesterday. but no one could be
found to verify the rUmor. The bet
ter class Of negroes of the city are op-
posed to the movement, which is known
as the ex-slaves congress, as they con-
tend that the scheme is only one OF per-
sonal gain to the promoters, and that
no good can ever be derived from the
proposed movement. even should it re-
solve into action.
A meeting was held during the first
part Of January to perfect a branch
of the congress in Savannah. But few
Joined the movement. and it is now
claimed that the promoters are collect
ing money through agents from those
attending the meeting, as a fee in part
of the expense in securing them pen
sions.
No one could be found who knew
anything about the matter, though sew
eral admitted hearing that agents of
the congress are in the city collecting
money. They are said to have a list
of those who joined the Savannah
branch of the congress, and are doing
their work quietly and collecting con-
siderable money from those believing
in and having become members of the
. congress. No one would take the re-
sponsibility of saying so. but several
prominent negroes stated they had
heard of such collections being made.
The better class of negroes are anx-
lous to put down the movement. which
they claim is nothing but a swnd1e
They declare that such a pension act is
impossible, and advise all common
sense ex-slaves to drop the question,
If they ever entertained it.

Missives VIII BE Received and De-
1fvered at the PostOmce Booth.

mlsSINes VIII BE HeceIVeu anu be-
lfvered at the PostOmce Booth.
Military night at the bazaar was
distinct success, the crowd present be-
ing larger than at any time since the
bazaar opened. From the time that
the doors opened at o'clock until
midnight the rooms were so crowded
that it was a difficult matter to get
about. The various departments were
literally patronized by the visitors.
There were six companies represent
ed by the military men, and every
where could be seen the blue of the
militia and the yellow of the cavalry.
on the arrival of the military they
were ushered into the cafe, where a
most palatable portion of sandwiches
and coffee had been prepared for
them. AS many as sixty of the soldier
boys were seated at the tables at one
time.
Tonight will be known as valen-
tine Night at the fair and prepara-
tons have been made to furnish those
who attend with abundant sport. Val
entines viii be for sale at every
booth. At one of the booths will be
posted and delivered to those who are
in attendance on the bazaar. Other
features will be arranged to-day, and
it is expected that st. Valentine will
be paid due homage
The beautiful $50 clock, which was
donated by Theus Bros, and which
has been so much admired at Mrs.
Theus and Mrs. Hunters booth, was
disposed of last night, the award being
made to Mr.. L. Gordon Harvey. The
clock is an unusually beautiful one,
and many there were at the fair who
had covetous eyes on it. There were
numerous other awards made.
AS result of the soliciting among
the merchants for options on the
automobile yesterday, Mr.. Theus Sc
cured nearly 100 more names. There
is little doubt that all of the options
will be taken before the Elk's Night,
at which time it is desired to make the
award. ss..

TRESPASSERS ARRESTED.
Young Men Who Hunted on County
Farm in Trouble.

F. G. Jaugstetter and H. Luedeman,
the two young white men against
whom warrants were sworn out
Thursday before Justice Nathan by
superintendent Chaplin of the county
farm, charging trespass by hunting,
were arrested yesterday, but gave
bond in the sum of 5000 each.
1t is alleged that the young men
were hunting on the farm about two
weeks ago. They are not the only ones,
1t is said, who have trespassed on the
county property, and warrants are
now in the hands of officers for exc
cution against several other parties of
this city. The county officials have
been annoyed for some time by tres
passing on the farm, but they have
deferred action against the parties,
with the hopes that the same would
be stopped, but finding that the liber-
ties taken increase instead of de-
creased, Superintendent Chaplin was
advised at the last meeting of the
commissioners to proceed against any
and all trespassers on the farm.
