FOND MOTHER WAITING
FOR SOLDIER SON.
Lad Enlisted i'm Savannah and Went
to Philippines.

to Philippines.
The superintendent of police is in
receipt of a letter from Mrs. E. T.
Davis of No. 507 South Belvedere
street, Richmond, Va. A fond mother
has been waiting in vain for the return
of her soldier son and the police chief
is anxious to help her locate him, but
the plain clothes men have sought
without success. The letter is as fol-
lows:
81 take the liberty of writing to you
to see if can get some information of
a young man who left home and en-
listed in the United States army from
your city. He was discharged in the
Philippine Islands Nov. q. 1902. He
wrote home and said he would be home
in less time than three months. 1 have
written to the War Department and
they wrote me word that he was en-
titled to transportation to his place of
enlistment, that being your city.
have not heard a word from him since
he wrote me word that he was coming
home, and l am almost satisfied that
he has been killed, or died on the way.
IF he had died on the way he would
have had on his person his discharge
papers and inquiries would have been
made in your city about him. 1 would
be glad if you would make some in
quiries about him. His name is AL
bert Dawson, and 1 suppose he gave
your city as his residence, as we
would not consent for him TO join the
army. If he has died 1t has been since
Dec /, 1902. If you will kindly an
swer this you will greatly oblige me.
/ would have inquired about him be-
fore now. only l have been waiting for
some word from him."

WANTED TO SEE
FIREMEN COME OUT.
So BiIIy COtter Turned An Alarm.
He's Now in Jail.

SO HiIly COtter Turned An AInrhs
He's Now in Jail.
'Wunder how de boys I'D like to
trot out in de rain" said Billy Cotter
to himself yesterday afternoon, just a
few minutes before 4 O'Clock. He was
standing near the fire alarm box at the
corner of Bay and Whitaker, and to
decide upon thing and put il into ac-
ton are almos IDENTICAL with Billy.
With unsteady steps, but firm in pur-
pose he approached the pole and,
smashing the glass, pulled the box.
Bong! bong" rang out the bells
and while the echoes of the eight
strokes were still in the air there was
a rush of horses and apparatus from
all the fire stations down town. The
men had come out without waiting to
dress up very much, not knowing that
IL was an exhibition call, and some
were minus hats others without coats,
etc. 1t was raining in good style at the
time, although ii was not in the middle
of the deluge that fell half an hour be-
fore. The laddies we're promptly on
hand and as they turned into Bay
street they looked about for signs of
smoke. The impression was that aft
explosion, if not a fire started by the
lightning.
Reaching the corner of Whitaker and
Bay streets the form of Bill Cotter.
standing by the fire box and applaud
ing as the engines and wagons came
up was amusing, but hardly appreci-
ated by the firemen.
Bicycle Patrolman Christie arrived
at about this time and took Mr.. Cotter
under his protection and rushed him
off to the police barracks. That the
firemen were annoyed by this useless
and very disagreeable run can be inn
agined-but Billy seemed to regard the
whole affair as great sport and waved
cheerily 10 the firenen as he was driv-
en- away in the patrol wagon. The
lark will likely cause him to swear off
drinking anything but water for a
month, as that is the standard bever-
age furnished by the city.

MANY BUILDINGS IN PROGRESS
In Issuing Permits Assessor Lucas
Anticipates "a Banner Year.

Anticipates "a Banner Year.
More building is being done in Sa-
vannah now than at any one time in
a great while. The records in the of
flee of the Board of Tax Assessors show
this, and Fire Marshal George Mouro
has noticed it.
June is forging to the front, and will
help break the record. unless all signs
fail. Assessor Marion Lucas began the
work for the week yesterday by issu-
ing to George A. Mercer. Jr., a permit
to erect five two-story metal roof frame
houses on Huntingdon street, west of
West Broad. in Minis ward.
The present month is ahead of June,
1902, and eighteen permits have been
issued to date. The year thus far is
also ahead of the same period in 1902,
and Assessor Lucas feels confident that
1908 will go on record as the banner
year in SaVannah's building world. The
real estate market is healthy, and the
carpenters have about all that they
can do. During the present year 269
permits have already been issued. In
quite number of cases a single per-
NIT carried five or six two-story dwell
ings.
Within the past few days permits
have been granted to d. R. Thomas to
erect a two-story frame house on Thir-
ty-seVenth street, between Barnard
and Howard streets; to H. c. Cunning
ham. to build a two-story apartment
house on Barnard and Gwnnett streets;
to ]. M. Breckenridge. to construct a
two-story frame metal roof house on
Thirty-third street, near Price; to c.
A. Munster, to put up two one-story
frame metal roof houses on Drayton
and Anderson streets; to H. F. G.
Kramer. to build a two-story house on
Thirty fourth and jefferson streets.
The issuing of the permits for the
building of these houses shows that
the improvements are not confined to
one section of the city, but that build
ing is being done on all four sides,
and that Savannah is expanding in
every direction

that the very first traffic manager was
the wisest man the world ever knew,
and this man was furnished from the
ranks of the passenger department.

tory, in the ancient days about 1000 B.
c. we read that King Solomon in
augurated A traffic department. He
had ships plying between the various
ports of the Mediterranean and Red
seas, and he had many rail, or rather
overland routes. The most important
of these was the overland route in the
valley of the Euphrates. To facilitate
this traffic he built a great caravan
sary or, as we say now, a luxurious
tourist hotel in the midst of the Syrian
desert. and thus was founded Tadmor
