TO BRING INDUSTRIES.
Roy C. Foster Anxious to See savan-
nah Up and Doing for Business.

nah Up and Doing for Business.
BY a peculiar coincidence Mr.. Roy
C. Foster, president of the Georgia
Car Works, who returned yesterday
after visiting various places in Geor-
gia and Alabama, in discussing the
impressions of his trip took exactly
the same views of Savannah's needs
in the way of advertising and efforts
to secure new business, as were ex-
pressed in the reports of the commit
tees called before the meeting of the
Retail Merchants Association.
How one city's interests have been
looked after with conspicuous success
Mr.. Foster showed by saying that in
the first place it has a chamber of
commerce, which is working all the
time and brings to it all the foreign
companies that lit is possible to Sc
cure. Then there is a committee that
looks out for the advertising of the
town as a commercial center This is
done through a secretary for whose
salary and for printed matter setting
forth the facilities and advantages of
the city, $1,000 to $4,000 is spent an
nually.
why can't Savannah do something
vannah," he continued, has the IA
cilities for the biggest commercial CEN
ter south of Philadelphia, almost as
good as those of New York. She has
plenty of water front, deep water, is
close to the ocean, and can easily
reach by land or water the chief cities
not only of this country but of the
whole world.
1T must be-" he continued, that it

ing nobody's business, but we've got
to do something and do it pretty soon
and keep doing it or Savannah will go
backward. We have the place to de-
velop a great and prosperous town; it
must be that we lack the energy that
the other places have; if we do it's
time we developed it. Why, take the
case of Atlanta-she is now fighting to
get the headquarters of the Southern
Railway, while we actually allowed
the headquarters of the old Plant
System to be taken away from us.
Il am originally a Northern man,
but my interests are now in Savannah
it is my home, and want to work for
it and will work for it, but my pride
in it has been pretty badly hurt on
this last trip when 1 saw the excel
lent work, and it's results in the in
terest of other cities and knew that
savannah WITH all HeT SpleHulu du-
Vantages was not at work to secure
new enterprises. and was even allow
ing those we have to get away, as,
for instance, the naval stores bust

Mr.. Foster will be invited to attend
the meeting of the Retail Merchants
Association Thursday and will then,
more than likely, give much valuable
information that he has acquired not
only in other cities of this state, and
the South, but also information gain
ed in some of the large manufacturing
cities of the North.

Valentines day as one could wish to
see was the party given last evening
by Miss Helen Dixon. The drawing
rooms of Mr.. and Mrs. J. NJ. Dixon's
home on Hall street were given up to
the young people, and the spirit of the
feast was suggested by many bright
little hearts of red hung here and there
in the vines of bamboo that were used
for decoration.
Hearts was the game, and for score
cards there were valentines with the
little god of love himself pictured up
on them. The games were counted by
small candy hearts of the old-fash-
toned sort. white, with a motto in red
across them, and each was tied to a
red ribbon.
After the game, when supper was

A DAILY NUISANCE.
A Simple Remedy Which Will Inter-
est Catarrh Sufferers

In its earlier stages cattarrh is more
of nuisance than a menace to the
general health, but sooner or later
the disease extends to the throat,
bronchial tubes and even to the stom-
ach and intestines.
Catarrh is essentially a disease of
the mucous membrane, the local
symptoms being a profuse discharge
of mucous, stoppage of the nostrils, ir-
sneezing, gagging and frequent clear
ings of the throat and head.
The usual treatment by local dou-
ches, snuffs, salves, ETC., often give
temporary relief, but anything like a
cure can only be obtained by treat
ment which removes the catarrhal
faint from the blood and the disap-
pearance of the Inflammation from the
mucous surfaces.
A new remedy which meets these re-
quirements and which so far has been
remarkably successful in curing ca
tarrh is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood and
mucous membranes only. They can
hardly be called a secret patent medi-
cine as they are composed of such val
liable remedies as Blood root, Hydras-
tin, Red gum and similar cleansing
antiseptics, which cure by eliminating
from the blood and musous surfaces
the catarrhal poison.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large.
pleasant tasting lozingers taken in
ternally, allowing them to dissolve
slowly in the mouth, in this way they
reach the throat, fauces and the en-
tire alimentary canal.
If desired, they may also be dis
solved in water and used as a douche,
in addition to the internal use, but it
is not at all necessary to use douche,
a few of them dissolved in the mouth
daily will be sufficient. However,
when there is much stoppage of the
nose, a douche made from these tab
let's will give immediate relief, but the
regular daily use internally of these
tablets will cure the whole catarrhal
trouble without resorting to the incon-
Venience of a douche.
DIR. Bement states that the internal
treatment for catarrh is rapidly TAX
ing the place of the old plan of
touching and local application, and
further says that probably the best
and certainly the safest remedy at
present on the market is Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets, as no secret is made OF
their composition and all the really
efficient remedies for catarrh are con-
tanned I'm this tablet"

Wanted to Srike.

Wanted to Srike.
Because the negro laborers on the ex-
cavation work thought that the laws Of
their union prohibited them working
longer than nine hours, even though they
received wages on the union scale for
regular hours and over time. they
threatened to strike yesterday. A walk
ing delegate set them right, and the
work went on. Contractor Bell simply
required that ten hours be worked. He
raised no question about wages. I'm
ion carpenters and bricklayers will be
employed on the building, he said, and
Savannah mechanics will have first
chance. If any mechanics are brought
here it will be because enough are not
available here.
1t is intended to begin the construc-
ton of piers of the foundation as soon
as possible. Piers will be built while
the work of excavation for other piers
goes on.

of F. A. Schaefer & Co. The presenta-
ton of the report of Superintendent
Bray occupied the larger part of the
time of the meeting. The superintend-

changed conditions in the sea-faring
business, resulting largely in the sub
stitution of big steam freighters for
sailing vessels. the latter always hav-
ing large crews who generally had
plenty of money in hand after being
paid off. The steamers have small
crews, and the latter generally remain
on the vessel while in port.
The resignation of J. B. Atherton as

accepted, much regret being expressed
by the board that this should be nee
essary. Charles Anterior, son of j. b.
