BAPTIST SCHOOL TO
COST MANY THOUSANDS.

Its Location to Be Decided on Mt
Meeting in Jesup July L.
A new Baptist school, to cost at least
$4,000, will probably be erected in
Southeast Georgia shortly. At a meet
ing of a committee composed of repre-
sentatives of the Consolation, Pied
mont, New Sunbury and Smyrna asso-
Citations, held in Jesup recently, it was
resolved that it was the sense of the
meeting that a UNCONVENTIONAL school
should be established at some suitable
place within the bounds of these asso-
Citations and that the bonneville Asso-
citation should be asked to join in the
enterprise.
The committee decided to ask for
bids for the school from the towns in
the jurisdiction of the associations in
terested in the movement, and to meet
again in Jesup July l to select Local
ton for the proposed school. Each
town and section in the limits of the
associations is asked to submit a bid
for the school These bids may be
either sent to John w. Bennett, Way
cross. or may be presented in person at
the July meeting.
The committee states: ION account
OF the growth in population and wealth
of our section, the committee feels it
very important that such school be
established, and it should be establish
ed on practical basis for the purpose
of preparing poor boys and young men
for the duties of life
Further information relative to the
scope of the work and the arrange
ments thus far made may be obtained
of Judge T. A. Parker, Baxley; D. w.

VETERAN FIRE FIGHTER.

Former vnnnahinu who Looks
After Tampa's Department..
Chief Fireman A J. Harris of Tampa
was in the city yesterday on his re-
turn from a meeting of the board of
directors of the International Associa-
ton of Fire Engineers, recently held
az Atlantic City. Chief Harris was the
guest of Chief Mcguire, who is a warm
friend of the Tampa chief. they having
served as volunteers in the Waiver Fire
Company of volunteer days in Savan-
nah.
In. 1885 Chief Harris moved from Sa-
vannah to Tampa to enter the furni-
ture business. Shortly after his arri-
val there he interested himself in the
organization of the fire department,
and after a few years was entrusted
with the work of organizing paid de-
partment. He has been very success
full, and has gained a reputation as a
fire fighter and a chief that has result
ed in Tampa securing lower rates OF
insurance than prevail in majority
of Southern cities. A short time
since. Chief Harris had to contend
with a difficulty seldom experience.
every member of the Tampa Fire De-
partment had gone on strike. He was
equal to the emergency. however, and
before noon had a new force ready for
service. Chief Harris says he slept
little, if any, for over a week. Fires
were frequent and of an incendiary
origin.
But the new men were rapidly drill
ed and soon became proficient in the
discharge of their duties. When ev-
erything was thought to have been set
tied, and the department was consii-
cred to be in a fair condition, what
seems to have been a concerted plan
to destroy the city took place. Eight
fires were started at the same time,
and in different parts of the city. The
department laid within the short period
of one and a half hours $4,000 feet
of hose. The insurance agents and
papers are commencing Chief Harris
for his efficiency and able management
of the department during these trouble
some times. The Tampa department
has been reorganized on civil service

series of twenty conventions of the
state Young Mems Christian associa-
tons, which have been meeting during
the last two months from Peterboro,
Ont, to Lampassas, Tex, and from
New Hampshire to California, is end
ed. These conventions had over 5000
delegates. over $4,000 young men at
tended them and over 1900 addresses,
papers and talks were given.
The convention in Georgia was pre-
sided over by eX-GoV. Northen. Men
prominent in all positions of life took
part in the programmes. Gov. Cum
mings of Iowa, speaking to the men at
the Minnesota gathering, said: Il look
upon the association as an essential
part of the great events which protect
the people of this and other countries
from the disintegration of immortality.
1t is a great deal cheaper and more eff
feCtive TO give to the help of the asso-
citation than to employ policemen"
The themes for discussion which
have elected the largest interest at
these conventions have been, 'EThe care
and culture of growing boys; of their
bodies and morals" In this the asso-
cations are seeking the best men to
be found. At nearly every convention,
action leading to the organization Of
new associations in the counties, has
been taken. The success of this work
by county groups has been demon
strated so that IL will, II is expected

the country in five years. The prog

GET STRONG
vinoI Makes Weak
People Strong.
WE GUARANTEE 1T WILL
DO so.
WE KNOW OF NO TONIC OR RE-
BUILDER LIKE IT.

Vinol does create strength.
We know that and have proved IL in
many instances.
The reason Vinol rejuvenates and
strengthens a person is that it acts
directly upon the stomach, strengthen
ing and toning up this great vital organ
and enabling 1t TO obtain for itself,
from the food that is taken into it. the
elements which are required to make
firm healthy flesh and muscle tissue,
sound bone structure and pure healthy
blood.
Vinol does this in a scientific way
and is enabled to do it because it con-
tains, dissolved in delicate mild wine,
in a highly concentrated state, the act
i've principles of cod-liver oil.
Vinol does not contain any of the
grease that formerly characterized cod
liver oil, hence is free from all the OBJ
jectionable features which made it inn
possible for patients to take or retain
that vile-smelling remedy into their
stomach.
Vinol in its favorable action upon
the stomach and other organs of the
body acts also in beneficial way upon
the nerves and brain, and will be
found to be invaluable to brain workers
as well as body workers.
The following letter is from a we'll
known authoress. 1t reads as follows:
81 wish to acknowledge the receipt
of the Vinol and testify to its great
benefits. Since taking it / am much
improved in health. and during the in
tense heat of last August should not
have been able to continue in nv liter
airy work if it had not been for the
strengthening properties of Vinol.
Yours in gratitude. ELLA STARR, LOG
W. SD ST., n. Y. City.
We wish any one sufferingfrom
weakness, a demoralized con-
dition of the nerves, or a suscep-
tibility to wasting diseases, to
call on us and hear what we have
to say in regard to Vinol.
Try it on our recommendation,
and if you find it does not do
everything we claim for it, we
will gladly refund to you the
amount you have paid us.

BALTIMORE MERCHANTS
WILL VISIT SAVANNAH.

A Merchants tour by sea to Savan-
nah is the name of an excursion that
the Merchants & Miners Transporta-
ton Company is planning. The plan
as now arranged is TO leave Baltimore
March %, reach Savannah on the 18th,
spend a part of Sunday, all of Mon
day and the greater part of Tuesday
in Savannah, sail for Baltimore Tues
day afternoon and reach home early
Friday morning.
In an artistic folder announcing the
excursion. or tour, the steamship COM
pany states: AT the request of many
of our former tourists, we have ar
ranged another Easter trip to the
beautiful Southern city of Savannah,
rich in it's attractions for the tourist.
The Southern climate at the season
when the party will be there is the
most delightful of all the year. being
balmy and invigorating. the foliage and
shubbery in full bloom, and the atmos-
phere laden with the delightful perfume
of roses and magnolias, all tending TO
make a visit to the beautiful South
a pleasure and joy long to be remem-
bered.
The short sea trip going and return
ing is just long enough to give one
the full benefit of the. advantages TO
be derived from sea trip, conducive
to health and pleasure. After the long
siege of a northern winter, there could
be no more delightful trip than the
one outlined in the following itinerary
for rest and recreation, and to put one
self in excellent condition to with
stand the long heated term to come
with the advent of summer. The COM
mittee has engaged an orchestra to ac-
company the party on the ship, making
the hours pass very pleasantly while
at sea.
Those of our party desiring to visit
Jacksonville. St. Augustine. Palm
Beach or other Florida resorts. can
have their tickets extended TO return
on later boat without extra charge"

WONDER OF WORLD
DESCRIBED IN COURT.
Lawyer Told of Human Frenk
Owned by His Client.

Lawyer IOld OF human fFehk
Owned by His Client.
If the litigation is not disposed of in
its preliminary stages, the case of j.
Pierson Smith against the Mayor and
Council of Brunswick. will probably be
one of the most entertaining to come
before Judge Speer in the United
States courts this week. At any rate
the legal joust on the demurrers so in
dicates. An amusing incident occurred
at the very beginning of the
case. when Mr.. Charlton. as attorney
for the plaintiff, convulsed the court in
a humorous effort to tell of the merits
of his clients case.
Mr.. Charlton explained that his client
was suing for the recovery of dam
ages incurred by reason of the failure
OF the city of Brunswick to allow him
TO exhibit a certain show.
What sort of show was this?" the
court asked. This was Mr.. Charlton's
cue to parade the merits of his eli
ent's exhibit, and he did it in inimita-
Bile style.
Why. your honor, it was Christie
Mile. the Carolina twin. the two
headed lady and double-tongued
nightingale. of which 1 presume your
HoiIoT mas HedFu, she DeluE the elEnIn
wonder of the world, the puzzle of sci
ence and the despair of doctors, the
duel unity, the most wonderful crea-
ture alive" Mr.. Charlton seemed full
OF his subject and would no doubt
have told the court of the manner in
which the little lady" conversed with
her two mouths at the same time to
different persons in four langua ges,
had not the court interrupted to sug-
gest that perhaps the people of Bruins
wick feared the moral effect which the
exhibition of the freak would have up
on the community.
Mr.. Smith. the owner of the freak
claims that he was damaged at least
$4,000 by the action of the authorities in
refusing to let him exhibit, after he
had procured a license and made all
arrangements. There are numerous
nice sharp outlets of the law to be in
voked before the case comes to trial on
its merits. If it reaches this stage it
will do doubt be very interesting.

TICKET sCALPING BARRED.
Railroads Have Won Important

Railroads Have Won Important
Cases Against Cut Rate Men.
In a recent issue the Chicago Rec
rd-Herald says:
There will be no ticket scalping in

chase Exposition. BY enjoining II
Judge Woods has conferred an ines
timable benefit upon both the exposi-
ton and the public. His decision is 10
the effect that it is illegal TO trafhc
in the return portions of excursion
tickets, and the injunction issued
against it is permanent. The case was
one in which the Wabash and other
railroads began suit TO enjOin certain
ticket brokers from dealing in unused
portions of special form OF nom
transferable, personal contract rail-
road ticket issued for World Far
purposes.
In giving his decision, which was
sweeping one in favor Of the railroads.
Judge Woods incidentally sustained the
right of the railroads TO meet and agree
upon reduced rates for such occasions;
that even if the sherman act had pro-
hibited such agreements the ticket
brokers could not set il up as de-
Tense TO their own illegal acts, and
that dealing in tickets of the charac-
ter under consideration was forgery
and punishable as such. A similar in
junction was issued by Judge Hagner
a Washington, in connection with the
Grand Army Reunion, and the two
decisions are the elimination of a ten
years war OF determination by which
the railroads have almost eliminated
the scalper from the transportation
world.
Judge Woods decision is tanta-
mount to n substantial financial con-
tribution to the fair, because it in
sures the granting by the railroads re-
duced rates which will not only en-
able but will induce people to visit the
exposition. In making rates for the
fair the railroads will not be con-
fronted with the element of unknown
loss of revenue by depredations OF
scalpers. which operated against the
Buffalo Exposition. Should the same
emergency arise at St. Louis as arose
at Buffalo the railroads will be in posi-
ton TO make any rate concession
necessary 10 get the people there and
thus prevent the financial failure of
the project. The decision also has the
merit of being on the side of public
morals and public policy, for it offers
absolute protection 10 visitors against
