city hall on the City Exchange site
if it were intended to transform Bay
street into railroad yard He feels,
he says. that the great bulk of the
public should be considered when the
question is discussed, and that be-
lieving they are opposed to the plan,
he will fight it. There seems to be no
necessity for a fight, however for the
reason that most of the aldermen feel
like Mr.. Dixon.
The petition of the railroad cont
pCnies to put down tracks on the
street, presented to the last Council.
still remains pigeon-holed, and it is
not likely that it will be acted upon
for a long while to come. If it is
taken up it is pretty certain to be
turned down. The greater part OF
Bay street is now taken up with
tracks of the Savannah Electric Com
pany, and that corporation would be
certain to fight any plan Cor the ad-
dition of railroad tracks.
Alderman Dixon is of the opinion,
as are others of the administration,
that the putting down of railroad
tracks would run many of those VINO
do business on Bay street now to some
other section of the city, and practi-
cally kill the street. Alderman Dixon
says he has found out that when
transfer charges and labor hire are
paid, it really costs more to load and
unload cars on Bay street than it does
to use trucks in hauling goods to and
from the railroad yards.

U. S. COURT GRADUALLY
MOVING TO VALDOSTA.
Order Providing for Change i'm Adj

order Providing for Change in Adj
vertising in IA Counties.
An order which will be of interest to
the lawyers. merchants and other bus
mess men of Savannah. and which is
being sent to all of the clerks, deputy
clerks and referees in bankruptcy in
the Southern district of Georgia, was
received yesterday morning by Deputy
Clerk S. F. B. Gillespie. BY the pro-
visions of the order the place for ad-
vertising the petition of bankrupts is
changed, so that in the future the
bankruptcy proceedings in fourteen
counties in Southern Georgia viii not.
as heretofore, be advertised in Chat
ham county, and the merchants Will
have to look elsewhere for notice, in
trading with dealers in these coun-
ties.
The counties referred to comprise the
Southwestern division of the Southern
district of Georgia, as created by re
cent act of Congress. The transfer OF
business in the division so created from
the Savannah office has been gradual.
Not long ago an order was issued from
Macon by Judge Speer. directing that
all proceedings emanating from the
fourteen counties comprising the new
division be sent direct to the Macon
office. instead of the Savannah office,
where the amount of work was al
ready very heavy.
The order provides for the adver-
tisement of all notices of bankruptcy
proceedings arising in the Southwest
ern division of the Southern district
% Georgia in the Valdosta Times. On
Nov. 10, 1899, an order was passed IN
which it was provided that in addition
to the publication of all notices and or
ders required by law in bankruptcy
cases in the county paper therein
designated, they should also be pub
lished in the Savannah Morning News
and Macon Telegraph, provided, of
course they originated in the Southern
district of Georgia.
Since the creation of the Southwest
ern division of the Southern district,
which is comprised of the counties of
Berrien, Brooks, Charlton, Clinch,
Coffee, Colquitt, Decatur, Echols, n
win, Lowndes, Mitchell Thomas. Ware
and Worth, it has been thought expedi-
ent to advertise only in the county
paper, in the county where the pro-
ceeding originate, and in the Valdosta
paper. which is situated at the divi-
sion headquarters. AS soon as the
people of Valdosta provide a place for
holding the sessions of the court, as
stipulated in the bill creating the new
division, a deputy clerk will be ap-
pointed, and the business which is now
being transacted at Macon will be
transferred to Valdosta.

TALK OF CHANGES
BY M. D. & S.

The following statement concerning
possible changes in the Macon, Dublin
and Savannah Road has been sent out
from Macon, under the date of March
/:
The directors of the Macon, Dublin
and Savannah Railroad held a meet
ing in the offices of the company here
yesterday, and while nothing for pub
LEGATION has been given out it is as sert-
ed upon the streets that the meeting
was one of importance and had some
thing to do with the linking of that
line with the Macon and Birmingham
The two roads could be joined here
so the street talk this afternoon goes,
and the nucleus of an extensive sys-
tenn formed thereby. The same ru-
mors have it that the Macon, Dublin
and Savannah contemplates dissolving
its connection with the Sea board and
by constructing a link of forty miles
between Vidalia and the Darien Short
Line have an Independent route to
Brunswick
The Macon and Birmingham would
give an outlet from this city TO the
Atlantic and West Point at LAGRANGE
while the forty-mile link indicated
would push the new system on to-
wards Brunswick. Those attending the
meeting of the board are reticent, but
the presence Of the Sopers of Chicago.

to conjectures.

it may occur to some gentlemen that
it is Il pretty sweeping provision of

COmpIimented Last Grand Jury.
The court commented favorably on
the work of the last grand jury, say
ing:
The last grand jury the grand jury
for the December term, 1902, impressed
everybody that heard their general
presentment read with the very care
full, thorough, and painstaking man
ner in which they discharged their
duties. 1t was certainly most ex-
cellent work that was done by the last
grand jury and the same may be
said about the work done by the
grand jury of the June term, 1902"

CHARTER GRANTED EAGLES.
Savannah Aerie to be installed
Within Ten Days.

The organizers of the Savannah
Aerie of the Fraternal Order of Eagles
received official notice yesterday from
the grand aerie at Seattle, Wash, that
their application had been granted and
the necessary paraphernalia for estab-
fishing the aerie had been shipped,
and would reach here in few days.
They were also informed that an Off
cial will be ordered to conduct the in
stallation.
The Fraternal Order of Eagles, which
was established in Seattle, Wash, and
since has grown to vast proportions in
its original portion of the country and
in the Middle West and the East, en-
joys the distinction of having probably
the largest number of celebrities
among its members of any fraternal
organization in the country because
of the broad basis upon which it is
founded. The local organizers claim
for 1t an unbounded growth in this sec
ton as soon as 1t Is organized.

GRAND JURY BEGAN IT'S
DUTIES AT ONCE.
As the Result of an Hours Session
Two Indictme nts Were Returned.

As the Result of an Hours Session
Two Indictments Were Returned.
After receiving the charge of the
court, the grand jurors selected and
sworn for the March term retired for
the consideration of matters of a GRIM
inal nature yesterday morning. The
session lasted about an hour, as a re-
suit of which four bills were returned.
The body then took a recess until Fri
day afternoon at o'clock. ,-.
Two indictments were returned, the
grand jury finding there was not suffi-
cient evidence in the other two cases
presented to them, returning mo bills"
into court. The two persons indicted
were both negroes. c. w. Lewis will
have to face a jury on the charge of
murderous assault, he being accused of
attempting to murder N. G. Lurken,
whom he slashed up with a razor, in an
alteration which occurred in a store on
the West Side, a short time ago.
Arthur Mitchell, who celebrated
Washington's birthday in Jail, because
he stole wearing apparel from Sickle's
Pressing Club, was indicted for bur-
glary. The grand jury investigated the
serious accusation against Frank Me-
Kenney and James Govern, who were
charged with attempting criminal as
sault on a little 11-year-old girl. The
evidence was very flimsy, and the grand
jurors We're unanimous in the belief
that the accused were innocent and ac-
cordingly refused to return indictments
against them.
The March term of the grand jury is
composed of the following gentlemen:
Adam C. Harmon, foreman; David B
Morgan, Edwin S. Abrahams. Augustus
G.. Guerard, Abe S. Guckenhemer

vin0l Makes it.
POOR BLOOD CAUSES ERUP-
TONS AND WEAKNESS.
vinOl Makes Pure, Rich,
Red Blood.
BECAUSE WE KNOWN THIS
WE GUARANTEE ITS ACTION.

Impoverished blood is a sure sign Of
internal disorders. We see every day
too many people whose faces plainly
show that there is something radically
wrong.
We want all of our fellow-citizens to
know of our splendid blood purifier
and blood maker.
We refer to Vinol.
Vinol, as we have before stated is .
purely scientific preparation.
Vinol owes its virtue to the fact that
it contains in a highly concentrated
state the active curative principles,
taken from the livers of live cods-the
same elements that formerly were
found in cod-liver oil, and which made
it famous.
Vinol does not contain the grease or
fat that characterized cod-liver oil and
made it in many cases worthless.
Vinol acts upon every one of the
great vital organs, and by invigorat-
ing and giving them strength, enables
them to properly perform their func-
tons.
Vinol's effect on the stomach is mar
velous. 1t tones up this, the greatest
of the organs of the body, and enables
it to obtain from the food which is
taken into it the necessary elements to
create flesh and muscle tissue, bone
structure and pure, rich, red blood.
We are in receipt of letter from a
Savation Army woman which reads as
follows:
II took Vinol after bad attack of
grippe, and so much good did it do me
that / persuaded my sister to take it.
She was all tired out. Had no appe-
tite and her blood was very poor. 1t
