WHAT KIND OF A WALL is IT?

Contractors TO Determine What Sep
Hrntes Low and JaudOn Buildings.
There is a difference between the Ger
mania Bank, Mrs M A. Jaudon and
Youmans & Diamonds. as to whether
the division wall between the old Low
building at the corner of Bull and Con-
gress streets. now being removed to
clear site for the new Germania Bank
building, and the adjoining building,
is party wall or is part of the Low
building.
The Low building was sold by the
Geimania Bank to Youmans & Dem
mond. Mrs. Jaudon is the owner of
the adjoining building. AS the work
OF tearing down the Low building pro-
crossed and neared the partition wall,
IL occurred to the agents of Mrs Jau-
don that If the wall were solely the
property of the purchasers of the Low
building and should be torn down. the
entire east side of the Jaudon building
would be exposed. Accordingly.
through their attorneys, they began to
investigate. The attorneys of the other
parties also took hand. No legal ac-
ton was taken however, and by agree
ment the wall has been left intact for
the present
The situation will take a turn one
way or the other this morning, prob
aply, when contractor, in behalf of
MRS. Jaudon, viii cut into the wall and
determine whether it is a party wall
TWO s,oarate walls abutted, or the
original wall of the Low building.
If it is found to be a party wall II
VIII probably be left standing through
compromise; if there are two sepa-
rate walls the Low wall will be torn
down, and if there is only the original
wall of the Low building, it will be
bought in by Mrs Jaudon's agents
me contractor of the new bank build
ing was wired yesterday at Atlanta
ana asked whether he preferred the
Wal Nail De left standing or be town down.
He answered that it made no difference
to him.

of Ice Factories.
Statesboro Ca, Jan. 13.-While clear
ing new ground this morning Mr.. Re-
mer Dekle, one of Bulloch's most prom
inent citizens, was killed by a tree
falling on him. 1t appears that the
tree was cut by a farm hand and Mr..
Dekle thought he was far enough
away not to be hurt, but was killed
outright. He has large number of
relatives who are prominent in the
county.
A similar case occurred few days
ago, when a telephone pole fell upon
a negro. He lived, however, long
enough to reach Statesboro.
1t is said that Statesboro will soon
have two ice factories. Mr.. Winters,
who is well known in and around Sa-
vannah, has made arrangements to
erect large plant, and then it is said
another will be put in by other capital
lists. This is hardly probable, for two
factories would hardly pay this near

will add to the pleasure of the visitors
The members of the Association, ac-
companied by their wives, will arrive
here June % and will be guests for a
week of the Rickers at the Samoset.
The program is a trife incomplete at
present but The Courier Gazette is
able to announce the outline of the
several tours.
Tuesday, the day of the party's ar
rival it is hoped to have a sight see
ing tour over the LIMERICK Railroad,
which encircles the city and gives the
pen pusherS a chance to see all the
details of an industry which has given
Rockland worldwide notoriety. In
the afternoon the party will go to
Thomaston, the home of knoX-and
Editor Stearns. Arriving at the
Creek the visitors will be taken under
the protecting wing of the Thomaston
board of trade and shown the sights.

conflict with the visit there of the

the committee, is one of the vice pres

There is no set program for Friday
or Saturday. but those who remain
those two days will doubtless find
plenty to occupy their attention.

local newspapers will keep open house

the management of the Portsmouth,
Dover and York Street Railway Com

ter the course of the highway in South

the steam road. The present crossing
is represented as very dangerous and
it is declared impractical to separa tie
the grades. so the only remedy is a
change in the location of the crossing.
