gress and so is hope, hope that that in
which we have put our faith will sue
coed. Faith is the foundation of bust
ness, what the business world ca Is
credit. the stone that makes the who
structure possible. Faith and hope, the
fundamentals of life, are the very
foundation stones of religion"
Then followed a metaphor dealing
with the likeless of faith to the sta tue
Of the Goddess of Liberty in New York
harbor. 1.-THE light of the one cheers
and comforts the storm-tossed mariner
as he sails into the port and also sends
its cheer out to those safe on the land
Faith, too, is a torch which comforts
the mariner on life's sea and cheers
those who already ride at peace within
the harbor."
Closing Thoughts of the Sermon.
In closing his discourse Rabbi Solo
mons said: LAS l stand ready here
to take up my duties with you, though
l realize the great responsibility, yet 1
do not shrink. ! have the teachings
of our faith and the history of our race
to sustain me, and l feel that your sup
port will be given me.
"As the last CLEANS of day fade into
the darkness of the night, as the shad-
ows of the departing year gather about
us, let us raise our hearts in prayer
to the Heavenly Father, the source of
both the sunlight and the shadow. May
the coming year be a happy one for
each and all of you, and may the
righteous wishes of your heart all be
granted. If sorrow casts it's shadows
about you, remember that AT the time
of evening there shall be light May
you one and all have a happy, happy,
new year!'
The address was interspersed with il
lustrations from the early life of the
speaker and with religious lessons
drawn from them. An earnest eXhorta-
ton to preserve the faith and history
of Judaism was given and to guard
against the tendency of allowing the
religious life to fall into neglect, to be
subordinated to what are deemed the
more important things.
At the conclusion of the address an
other selection was rendered by the
choir, after which the service at 10
o'clock this morning was announced.
The service was concluded with the
pronouncing of the benediction by the
pastor, emeritus, DR.. Mendes.

CLOUDY TITLES TO
WHITE BLUFF ROAD.
Hut County VIII Be Protected from
Loss by Bond from Mr.. Lester.

but County Will Be Protected from
Loss by Bond from Mr.. Lester.
An investigation of the title to the
White Bluff, or Vernonburg, shell road,
has developed the fact that, owing to
certain clouds on the title, it will be
impossible for the county to secure
perfect title to the property, and the
only way to acquire title with any as
surance of protection is by condemna-
ton. This announcement, made at a
special meeting of the County Commits
sioners yesterday, is in furtherance or
the statement made in the Morning
News several days ago, that the titles
were i'm erfect, but that the conmis-
sioners had decided to remove all
clouds before accepting the road.
Maj. ]. Ferris Cam, acting county
attorney in the absence of Col. q. L.
Cam, reported this state of affairs to
the board. He Was forthwith instruct
ed to proceed along the line suggested
by him in his report. Maj. Cam SUB
mitted that the proper way to secure
good title to the road was to have ev-
cry stakeholder of the Vernon Shell
Road Company make A quit claim deed
to the county. The trouble was, how
ever, he said, that because of the alb
sence or Incompetence of the rec
ords of the company, it was Impossible
to ascertain exactly who the stock
holders are.
The names of the stockholders and
their respective holdings are said by
officers of the corporation to be d. 3.
Lester. who owns 1904 shares, Alfred
Kent, who owns IA shares. and +. d.
Smythe of Augusta, who owns 1882
shares. This statement by the officers
cannot be verified by the record, and
leaves about six shares practically I'M
accounted for.
The acting county attorney suggests
that a deed be made to the county by
the corporation, in which should be
embodied the names of the known
stockholders, and then, to protect the
county from any loss which might
arise from the claims of stockholders
now unknown, to have Mr.. Lester en-
ter into a bond in sum sufficient to
hold the county harmless. This propo-
sition meets the approval of Mr.. Lester
and he has consented to give the bond
This will not give the county per-
feet title, but it is the only way of &C
quiring possession of the road free
from claims, and in view of the fact
that the road was formerly a public
road in which the present owners only
acquired an easement in the mainten-
ance, use and enjoyment of the turn
pike road when completed, the lapse of
any considerable time will proba bly,
be construed as an abandonment of
that easement.

WILL ADD TWO BLOCKS
TO ABERCORN STREET.
Vitrihed Brick Will Probably Go to
Park Avenue.

Vitrifed Brick Will Probably Go to
Park Avenue.
When the work of paving Abercorn
street is begun it will most likely be
started at Park avenue and continued
south. An ordinance providing for the
paving of the two blocks from Park
avenue to Henry street will probably
be introduced at the next session of
Council.
1t has been found that during heavy
rains the water rushes down to Duffy
street, and that the sewers there cam
not stand the strain. The ground is
badly washed and already it has cost
the city several hundred dollars to fix
the sewers. None of this win happen
when Park avenue is paved, if Aber-
corn street is paved this far north
At the same time the paving of the
two blocks Will relieve the shell pave
ment on Henry street of great deal
of traffic, something that is to be
desired.
Although there is at present not
enough brick to pave any of the streets
that have been passed by Council an
other paving ordinance will be intro
duced at the next meeting of that
body. 1t will provide for the paving of
Thirty-6rst street, east to either Lin
coin or Habersham. A petition from
property owners on this street asking
that the paving be done has been fill
ed with the clerk of Council and, too.
the movement is backed by the South
Side Club.

HUTTON ELECTED
CAPTAIN OF CO. A.

Hincks Rises to LIST Lieutenancy.
After the meeting of the corps the
members of Company A held an in
formal election for officers last night.
AS a result of the meeting John A.
Hutton, formerly first lieutenant, was
chosen captain, vice Capt. James M.
Rogers, resigned, and Stewart Hincks
was named to succeed him. The meet
ing adjourned without electing a sec
ond lieutenant, a committee being APP
pointed to make nominations. This
committee will report at a meeting to
be held the first Monday in October.
Captain elect Hutton has been
member of the Guards Battalion and of
Company A for twenty-one years. Dur
ing his connection, with the command
he has been one of its most enthusiasts
tic and strongest members. He is pop
ular with the men, as was plainly evil
denced by his unanimous election. His
election is we'll merited one, and gives
the utmost satisfaction.
Lieut.. r. Stewart Hincks has been a
member of the corps for thirteen years.
He has held every office in the COM
pany except captain, his promotion be-
ing gradual since his enlistment. He
served in the Spanish-American War as
a sergeant. He has held the post of
second liuetenant for more than year,
and his comrades were glad of an op-
portunity to evidence their appreciation
OF his services to the command
AS a result of a long meeting no one
was chosen for second lieutenant. The
committee appointed to make the nomi-
nation and report at the next meeting
of the company is comprised of Lieut..

CHATTAHOOCHEE THIRTY
HOURS OVERDUE.
Is Believed to Have Been Delayed by
Vessel in Distress.

Is Believed to Have Been Delayed by
Vessel in Distress.
The steamship Chattahoochee of the
Ocean Steamship line, which left New
York for Savannah last Friday after
noon, is thirty hours overdue. She
sailed two hours after the City of Au-
gusta which reached here Sunday
night. The only theory for her delay is
that she has picked up some vessel in
distress and is towing her.
The Chattahoochee is in command of
Capt H. C. Lewis, who has command
ed her for years. No apprehension is
felt for tine safety of the vessel as she
is one of the best in the fleet.
The Chattahoochee is taking her
place on the Savannah Boston line,
which will practically be inaugurated
Sept. 90 with her sailing from Boston
on that date. The steamer is bringing
no passengers and is due to sail from
here Thursday for Boston direct.
The City of Savannah, which has
been laid up in New York, since the in
terna tional yacht races, sailed from
New York Saturday and is due here
this morning. She is in command of
Capt. johnson, formerly of the ITALIA
haSSee.

The Savannah Volunteer Guards
Battalion will attend the st. Louis
Exposition next spring. This action
was decided upon at an enthusiastic
meeting of the corps last night. No
plans were made, but will be formu
lated at meeting to be held on Mon
day evening, Oct u.
The meeting was held for the espe-
cial purpose of considering the ques-
ton of camping at the Exposition.
Mai. Williamson presided, Capt. Rich
mond acting as secretary.
Il hold in my hand said Maj. Will
hanson, in opening the meeting, AN
invitation to the Savannah Volunteer
Guards Battalion to attend the st.
Louis Exposition. l want to say
right here that this battalion is going
10 st. Louis next spring
The announcement was met with
deafening applause, plainly evidencing
the practically unanimous approval of
the crops. A vote was, however, TAX
en-. This showed that almost every
man present was willing to make the
necessary sacrifices to attend the camp
at the exposition.
The trip will mean a great deal to
the battalion. Outside of the instruc-
ton which will be received and the
pleasure which will attend it, the Off
GERS believe that it means the up
building of the battalion. That the an
nouncement will result in many new
enlistments there is no doubt. The bat
talon is now in the most prosperous
condition it has been in since the
Spanish American War; and the Off
GERS express it as their belief that the
corps is entering upon a period of
prosperity. i1Eii
