BARRISTERS RETURN

After three days pleasantly spent
near Tallulah Falls, Savannah's rep

morning.
The session, which was the TWEEN

of the most pleasantest and harmoni-

The local members of the bar will be
sorry to learn that they will have to
forego the pleasure of entertaining the
distinguished visitor.
1t is expected that all five of the
Savannah barristers who attended the
session will reach here this morning,
with the possible exception of Col. Pc
ter w. Meldrim, who, it is stated. may
go to Cincinnati before returning. The
The Savannah morning news., 1903-07-05

other members of the party are Judge
Pope Barrow, United States assistant
District Attorney William r. Leakin,
George W. Owens, Esq, and Alexander
A. Lawrence.
The friends of Col. Meldrim are
anxious to see him to extend congratu
lations upon his election to the presi-
dency of the association. The honor
besides being a deserved distinction
to Col Meldrim himself, is a pretty
compliment to Savannah. That the
presidency should have fallen to a
city which, owing to its distance from
the rendezvous, was represented by
far smaller numbers than other cities
in the state. is considered an honor
alike to the city and to the president
elect.
Col. Meldrim has been a member of
the Georgia Bar Association almost
from its inception over twenty years
ago. He has attended many OF its
annual meetings, and has always been
one of the principal factors in its
progress and advancement. Largely
through his aid and influence the as
ISOLATION is one of the strongest or
CARNATIONS of its kind in the country.
Col. Meldrim was recently vice presi-
dent of the association, and has served
on numerous important committees.
He Is the second Savannahian to be
honOred with the presidency, Col.
George A. Mercer having been elected
to the post about twelve years ago, on
the occasion Of the eighth annual meet
ing of the associa ton at Tybee.
Col. Meldrim graduated from the
University Of Georgia in 1858, and was

The committee from the Chamber of
Commerce to escort Senator A. o. Ba-
con and Congressman Rufus E. Lester
to Tybee Friday for an inspection of
Fort Screven, will be appointed by Col.
j. H. Estill. president of the Chamber
of Commerce tomorrow. AS has been
stated before Senator Bacon will visit
the fort to get an idea of the additions
and improvements needed at that place,
that he may the more forcibly present
a request for them to the government.
The improvements as outlined by
Lieut.. Col. A. c. Taylor, commanding
Fort Screven. should consist Of the
leveling and filing in of the low ground
between the fort and the Tybee tracks,
the erection of additional quarters for
the men, and the building of a new
wharf and a board walk to connect it
with the fort.
These things are really needed, but It
is felt that at the same time much
could be done to beautify the for,

PORTO RICAN GOLFERS.

Being Brought to Savannah Direct
From New American Possession. 3
Gradually Porto Rico, the new Amer.
lean possession in the West Indies, is
being brought more into close touch
with Savannah, and many articles are
being brought here direct from that is
land.
Mr.. T. Lloyd Owens has recently COM
menced bringing the delicious coffees
that are grown there, and the many
people here who are already drinking
this Porto Rican coffee pronounced it
delicious, with an aromatic, rich flavor
not found in any other coffee.
When in Porto Rico two years ago
Mr.. Owens was so impressed with the
coffee which he drank there that he
made a thorough inquiry into it, Sc
curing much valuable information
about it, and visiting one of the lar

soon thereafter admitted TO the bar.
His success has been marked. He has
not only been a prominent member OF
the Georgia bar. but has served his
city, state and county In various ca
pacities, having been at once Mayor OF
Savannah and representative in the
General Assembly. He was twice
state senator, having succeeded him
self in 1882, after a two-year term.
His election to the presidency of the
Georgia Bar Association is considered
by the local members of the bar as a
deserved mark of appreciation of his
ability and service.
The Savannah aggregation told the
members of the association that they
would be peculiarly happy to enter
tain them on Tybee's strands next
season. The matter is left entirely
with an executive committee. whose
decision will not be announced for
some time yet.

strike while fishing from the wharf.
He will not soon forget 1t.
AT first the strike seemed so slight
as to give the impression that ii was
small reddish. No sooner did the
tarpon feel himself hung, however,
than he leaped directly out of the wat
er, throwing the entire weight of his
huge body against the line. Fortunate
iy the line held. Again he went into
the air with lightning rapidity, but in
vain. Then he seemed to think of
pressing bushes in the direction of

There was no stopping his terrific

was how best to save as much as pos

would make them most attractive. it is
more than likely that an appropriation
for this work will also be asked.
A movement is also on foot, started
by Col. Estill. to have the number of
companies at the fort increased from

to six. ten or more, and to have the
necessary quarters for this number of
men and the officers provided for. 1t
was intended to have not only Senator
Bacon and Congressman Lester visit
the fort. but to have Senator A. s.
Clay and a number of other gentlemen
and officials make the same trip. 1t is
possible that this may be done later,
and that among the visitors may be a
number of the members of the State
Legislature.
Senator Bacon and the party accom-
panying him will be the guests of
Col. Taylor during their stay at the
fort.

Linden explained the presence OF
the hole by saying that short time
ago he was engineer on a merchant
vessel plying between San Francisco
and Australia. On one of the trips,
when near the Fiji Islands. a hurri-
cane drove the vessel ashore, and the
crew fell into the hands of cannibals.
The captain, mate and two seamen
were roasted alive and eaten before
Linden's eyes. He was thin, and the
cannibals bored a hole through his
nose, put ring In 1t and chained him
to a tree to fatten. A native woman
helped Linden escape, and he man
aged to get away from the island by
hailing passing vessel.
Linden Is about 35 years old.

It is from this plantation that a great
deal of the coffee which he will bring
here will come. During the two years
since his return from Porto Rico Mr..
Owens has been getting in this Porto
Rican coffee for private use, and the
continually growing popularity with
which it has met among his friends has
induced him to bring it in regularly
and in quantities, and he has opened

where. this coffee will be kept in stock
and where it may be gotten by those
wishing TO use it.

With gains such as those being
about an average of 100000 a
year, the chances are favorable for
showings hereafter of larger proper
tions.
The gains are largely due to the fact
that Savannah is being steadily recog-
nized as the financial center of the
South Atlantic states. Besides. the
clty's business is gaining all the while.
Money to raise crops. handle large
products. launching enterprises and for
other purposes is supplied locally and
tends to swell the clearings. Every
loan for promotion purposes of. any
kind usually creates a new feeder that
contributes to the clearings. What
ever the explanation of the increase
may be, the gains are the figures that
back up Savannah's clearings OF busi-
ness solidity and prosperity.

A Practical. Illustration.

The information was recently pub
lished i'm this space that the Mutual
Benefit Life Insurance Company had
practical illustrations that it always
leads when minimum cost and maxi
mum guarantees are concerned, when
it announced that it would issue Nine
teen Payment Policies at practically
the same rate charged by all other
reputable companies for twenty pay
ment policies. 1t is not practicable to
publish rates for all ages in this space
at this time for Nineteen Payment
Mutual Benefit Policies and twenty
payment rates Of other companies,
therefore we will use age 35 for the
purpose Of comparison: MUTUAL
BENEFIT 10 PAY LIFE POLICY per
81, 900 insurance, $37.35; Equitable, 20
pay life. 1884; New York Life, 20
pay life, sss:s4: Mutual Life, 2Oopay
life, $36.S7; Aetna, 20-pay life, $36.96;
Prudential. 20-pay life, $36.95; Massa-
chusetts State Mutual. 20-pay life,
$3.50: Phoenix Mutual, 20-pay life,
s37.16; Penn Mutual, 20-pay life, $37.-
25: Union Central, 20-pay life, 1884.
These rates, 1t seems to us, prove that
the man who insures anywhere except
in the Mutual Benefit, provided of
course, the company will accept him,
deliberately agrees to give away one
years premium on his policy. 1t has
been said that Wise men look before
they leap!
