| When this republic was born the rul-

die. During the civil war they hoped
to soon stand by her grave. Three times
they sought to destroy our republic
In 1776 they sent here their red coats
and hired Hessians, put scalping
knives into the hands of the savage In
dams and sent them to rayage and
destroy the wives and children of the
colonists. In 1924 they burned our
capitol in Washington and left it a
pile of unsightly ruins. In 1861-64 their
Alabama and other privateers destroy

When Sumpter fell, guns of English

grown to our present colossal proper

Memorial day address, took his text
from the Second Samuel, chapter 1,

fected King David and his army. They
tasted all day in tears and sorrow.
They mourned for homes made desc

and for the irreparable loss inflicted
upon their country They thought OF
the sufferings of the wounded in battle

of the bodies ofsthe slain. Holy David

Fellow citizens, it Is for Just such

TWO HOUSES STRUCK
LIGHTNING HIT GOVERNMENT RES
ERVATION AT TYBEE.
BABY'S NARROW ESCAPE.
CURRENT PASSED OVER HEAD OF
SLEEPING TOT.

Homes of Lieut.. WinslOw and Lieut..
DOOres Struck at Fort Screven.
Mrs. DOOres Was knocked from
Her Feet, but Was Not Injured.
In Lieut.. WinsIOw's Home Light
ming Passed Through Metallic
Ceiling Directly over Babe in Crib.
Chimney Was Demolished and
Bricks Were Scattered About.
An electric storm of unusual in
tensity struck Tybee Island late yes
terday afternoon and did some damage
on the government reservation at Fort
Screven.
Sleeping in its crib the baby of Lieut..
and Mrs. Winslow had a narrow es-
cape and the wife of Lieut.. Doores
was knocked from her feet in the ad-
joining house. Mrs. Doores was only
slightly stunned and suffered no in
convenience. although she was badly
frightened.
The lightning struck the residence of
Lieut.. Winslow first. passed out at the
chimney and into the home of Lieut..
Doores. The electric current destroy
ed the chimney and sent bricks flying
in every direction. The houses on the
reservation have metallic ceilings and
the current passed through this at Z.
point directly over the baby in the crib.
The current turned sharply and
went out at the chimney, and jumped
TO the adjoining house. There was d
terrific neal If thunder M,.c
Doores fell to the floor She jumped
to her feet Immediately, however, and
was only slightly stunned. There was
considerable excitement on that part
of the reservation occupied by the Of
ticers and for a few minutes it was
thought that the buildings were on
fire.
An examination of the premises,
however, disclosed the fact that beyond
the demolishing of the chimney no
damage had been done to the property,
and that no one had been injured.
Those at the fort were unnerVed by
the shock, however, and a pleasant
party that had been formed to attend
the evening ball at South End did not
make the trip.
The electric storm was accompanied
by a heavy downpour that lasted for
about an hour. On some parts Of the
island the rainfall was exceedingly
heavy. Mrs. Evans, from the signal
station in Martello tower, reported that
the rainfall was heavier for a short
while than she had ever seen before.
Even after the heavy rain the atmos-
phere was murky. During the storm
the, wind was from southwest.
1t rained hard in the city for a
short while and in some places the
streets were badly washed. 1t has
raned much harder in Savannah,
however, and no records were broken
The air was not so heavily charged
with electricity as at Tybee, although
the electrical display last night was
pretty. 1t was threatening during the
early evening, but later the stars came
out and the atmosphere became less
murky.

Jordan and MIR. j. :. Sims.
The Savannah Lecture Course will be
continued during the coming season.
Mr.. NJ. M. Parks, who managed it so
successfully last season. will not be In
charge this year, because of his pros
pective removal from Savannah to
Milledegeville, where he will go to ac-
Georgia Normal and Industrial College,
but the management has been left in
good hands, those of Rev. DR.. j. ID.
Jordan and Mr.. ]. S. Sims.
Mr.. Parks, in discussing the matter
last night. said: 1.-THE future of the
Lecture Course is practically assured;
a large number of subscriptions were
received at the time of the last en-
tertainment and others have since
been received by mail. While my
sever my connection with the course,
yet the organization will continue
without any other change. Rev. DIR.
j. D. Jordan will remain as president
and MIR. j. S. Sims as treasurer.
These gentlemen have assumed the
financial responsibility for the sue
cessful completion of the course and
are now in CORRESPONDENCE with the
various lecture bureaus with view
of making contracts for lecturers next
fall and winter. The prospects were
never brighter for a good lyceum and
l believe the one for the coming sea-
son will be the most successful of re-
conf years.

N,ti't Il Council May Put Matter
on Two Weeks.
1t may be that the resignation of
Alderman w. J. Watson will not be
accepted at the regular meeting of
City Council to be held this afternoon.
Members of the board are very anx-
ious to have Alderman Watson remain
at the head of the Streets and Lanes
Committee and he may be asked TO
reconsider his resignation.
Even though Mr.. Watson should an
nOunce that he cannot reconsider the
step that he recently took it will prob
ably mean a delay of two weeks in
electing successor.

tendent of the Atlantic Coast Line. is
spoken of in connection with the va.
cancy that will exist in the event that
Alderman Watson leaves the board.
This afternoons session of Council
promises TO be interesting and consid-
cradle business will be transacted. A
report will proba bly, be made on the
application of Fire Chief Mcguire to
be relieved of the duties of electrical
inspector. The application was filed
some time ago and in caucus the al
dermen will probably decide to relieve
the first chief of this responsibility.
