GROUP
JURY INDICATED WARD.
Civil Proceeding in City Court
Which Arose From Criminal Pros
ecutiOn.

Civil Proceeding I'm City Court
Which Arose From Criminal Pros
ecutiOn.
A suit which was hard fought, not
because of the amount involved, but
because of the relations existing be-
tween the plaintiff and the defendant,
was decided yesterday in the City
Court, when a sealed verdict in the
case of Peter W. Schmahl against Hen
ry NJ. Ward was returned. The ver-
dict was in favor of the defendant for
SIPS.
The litigation arose over a certain
lot of plastering which Schmahl did
for Ward. The latter claimed that he
had not only paid the plasterer but
oyerpaid him to the extent of $1.26, and
to this fact he swore some time ago in
an affidavit At that time Schmahl
swore out a warrant against Ward for
perjury, alleging that the facts sworn
to in the petition were false. On a
hearing before Justice Bevans the
warrant was dismissed.
The suit in the City Court was sub
sequently instituted: The finding of
the jury is a complete Vindication of
Mr.. Ward, and a substantiation of his
claims in regard to the plastering. The
plaintiff was represented by Travis &
Edwards and the defendant by Adams
& Adams.

building on President street when an
alarm was sounded from Box 10, on

But for the fact that the fire depart

work from both sides of the building
in hurry, the Savannah Coco Cola

Hall and the Savannah Pressing Club
would have been burned out. The
fire was confined to Virgins repair
department at No. 116 President street,
although the ceilings of the four COM
partments were damaged.
The flames started near a barrel of
paint oil and worked their way upward
to the roof. The building, owned by
the Union Society, was damaged much

This seems pretty big price to nav
for a single bottle of medicine, and vet
if you consider the matter rightly. If
is 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 5o

health and happiness is your business

business.

Chnm Der OF Commerce Receives
Congratulations From Atlanta.
President Estill has notified the Off
GERS and directors of the Chamber of
Commerce to meet Monday afternoon
at 4;3O o'clock, in the City Council
Chamber. He is having the list of
members alphabetically arrange so as
to facilitate the appointment of COM
mittees. As it is proposed to give ev-
cry member who will serve something
to do the committees will doubtless be
large.
There are now about 500 members
enrolled and as the committees were
requested to keep on soliciting names
the membership will doubtless go far
above that number.
That the Chamber of Commerce is
exciting interest in places other than
Savannah is shown by the following
letter received yesterday by Col Estill
from Mr.. J. K. Orr, president of the
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce:
Il wish to congratulate you on the
organization of the Savannah Chamber
of Commerce and to congratulate the
chamber on your election as president.
after some experience in a similar
position here, l know it Will be a sac
rifice to you to give the new organiZa-
ton the time and attention it will re-
quire, and your only compensation will
be found in the satisfaction of doing a
public duty we'll In all communities
a few public spirited men have to 40
this, and / am glad that Savannah has
some of that kind.
Here in Atlanta we are glad to see
such a movement in savannah, because
we know that a Greater Savannah
means a Greater Georgia. Such a
work as you have undertaken must
contribute materially to both ends"
Already the Chamber of Commerce
has received two applications for the
place of secretary, but the president
says the election of d man for this
place will not be made hastily as it
is the intention to secure only a first
class man.

MINISTERS THOUGHT
BANK DISSEMINATED.
COIOred Committee From Union Call
ed Upon President FInnnery.

ed Upon President FInnnery.
A committee of the Colored Evangel-
ical Ministerial Union, representing the
Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian
churches of Chatham county, number
ing thirty-five congregations in all, call
ed upon the president of the Southern
Bank this week with the intention of
learning whether the bank was discrim-
mating against the colored people in
requiring them to make their deposits
at a separate window from the white
patrons. The committee consisting of
Rev. r. H. Singleton, Rev. E. w.
Newton and Rev. j w. Robert, made
the investigation at the instigation of
the union. 1t seems that two WIN
dowS, one for the whites and one for
colored people, has been opened at the
savings department of the bank, and
the colored people began to think that
determinations were being made
against them.> The president of the
bank explained however, that the di-
vision of races was made simply to ia
cilitate the handling of the business and
with no other intention.
1t seems, however, that an association
in New York, which has a savings de-
partment i'll Birmingham, and has been
catering especially to the colored de-
positors there. has had a representa-
tive here, casting about for an opening
to establish a savings department He

tee that the new savings department.
