HOW TO GET RICH.

Primarily these lessons are written
for the purpose of interesting those
who read them in real estate, and to
induce them to invest therein. These
effusions, however are also intended
to inculcate lessons of wisdom to those
who have it not, or who only have that
good characteristic in their makeup
in an incohate state. Nevertheless, 1t
is not intended to give wisdom all the
credit for any mans success in life.
A good deal of what may be denomi-
mated chance" plays a very potential
part in getting rich, or getting any
thing, and for all practical purposes is
just as good as wisdom. Outlines one
is mistaken for the other.
One case. in which good luck led to
fortune if not to fame, is illustrated
by the story of those two old Bay
street merchants, Messrs. H. & c.,
who twenty years ago decided to dis
solve partnership, quit business, and
enjoy life. Like every other old part
nership, the assets were of the assert
ed kind-good, bad, and worse. Among
the former were twenty-five shares of
Central Railroad stock, par value Sl00
q share, and ten acres of not very de-
sirable real estate on the eastern slope
of Savannah suburbs. The partner
who had first choice. of course, took
the Central Railroad stock, and by the
lights as things were, he was wise
He who had second call" took the
ten acres of the 'lovely lowlands, .
then a quagmirs.
The conclusion of the story is brief
There was dreadful financial wreck.
the $500 in railroad shares vanished
in a receivers hands. The "stone that
the builders rejected" in this case the
aforementioned ten acres of land, was
drained and laid off in town lots and
sold two years since for $4,000! Don't
these figures make you gasp for
breath? This was the other mans
luck; there was not an iota of wisdom
in 1t.
OF course the average man won't
have the experience that this mer-
chant had who took "the second
chance" because he will never have
an opportunity. but he can buy a lot
on Thirtv-ninth street, east, or else
where. and not throw his money away
in these many thousands of ways that
he usually finds for disposing of his
earningS.-ad

IMPROVED PLANS
FOR AUTO SPEEDWAY.
Committee on Rights of Way to
Make Report of Progress Soon.

Committee on Rights of Way to
Make Report of Progress soon.
Work in the interest of the automo-
bile speedway is progressing most IA
vorably
The subcommittee appointed to Sc
cure rights of way. of which Maj. r. A.
Blandford is chairman, has been at
work for some time and has been quite
successful.
Many of the property owners have
granted the rights asked and it is be-
lieved that the majority of the others
will do so also. II is expected that the
subcommittee will be ready to make a
report Of its work TO the main commits
tee within a day or two.
Mr. Roy c. Foster, chairman of the
general committee, has also been busy
in the interest Of the project. After the
first meeting of the committee he wrote
one of the most prominent AUTOMOBILE
lists of the country, setting forth the
plan that had been agreed on for the
speedway. and asked this gentleman
for his views on the matter.
In reply the autoist wrote that he
thought six or seven miles too short a
course. Mr.. Foster then suggested
that in addition to the course a wide
loop be made at each end, which would
enable machines going at a high rate
of speed to run races of from fifty to a
hundred miles if this were deemed ad-
visable. This plan received the heart
lest commentator of the machine
owner who said IL the loops were
banked sufficiently he thought the plan
would meet all requirements and be a
great success.
The great interest in the plan that IS
being shown throughout the country is
instanced by the number of inquiries
concerning the plan that Mr.. Foster is
receiving from all parts of the coun-
try

PREFERRED "0VER HOME"
TO IMAGINED HEAVEN.
Chatham County Jail Destroyed Ell
sic BOstick's Dream.

Chatham County Jail Destroyed Ell
sic DOsticI's Dream.
The woman who smashed up the fur
niture in her home and then went to
the Court of Ordinary and apotheo-
sized all the officers and attendants,
and decided that when she was in jail
she was in heaven, has changed her
mind.
Yesterday afternoon she informed a
lunacy jury that she had spent four
nights in heaven" and that she didn't
like it, and was going over Home"
with her father.
The woman still keeps calling on the
Lord to purge her of her sins and
then invokes other celestial spirits to
aid her in her plans. Just what those
plans are she has not announced.
After listeneing to the rambling talk
of the woman for about five minutes
the jury adjudged her insane, and she
will be sent to Milledgeville.
The father of the woman, a South
Carolina negro. was one of the wit
nesses in the case. He stated that he
had not seen his daughter in years
until he came to the jail. but that
despite her condition, which h. admit
ted was off, she had recognized him.
In the course of the examination of
the old man Judge Henry McAlpin
asked the question, Have you noticed
any change in her recently?"
Without hesitation the man an
swered, mo, sir, Jedge; L haint seen
her reachin for nothin'."
The unexpected reply was nearly too
much for the gravity of the jurymen
and a visible effort was made by all
to restrain a laugh.

After Suit Was Filed.
On an allegation that he secreted his
stock of goods after a suit had been
filed against him in Justice Bevans'
court, Peter Brandt, proprietor of the
Cuban Reales Cigar Company, recent
ly opened at Bryan and Whitaker
streets, was yesterday arrested. He is
charged with cheating and swindling,
and is under 5000 bond to appear in

The warrant was sworn out before
Justice Bevans by Cole Bros, paint
ers, who had secured a judgment
against the cigar company for S64 for
painting the exterior and decorating
and papering the interior of the com
pany's store. The suit was filed in
Justice Bevans' court. and when it
came to trial an execution for the
amount was issued. When Messrs.
Cole went to levy on the property it
was discovered, it is alleged, that the
goods had been removed from the store

Hotel Company Considering COIIec-
ton of Portraits of Historic Men.
At the last meeting of the direc-
tors of the Savannah Hotel Company,
President j. M. Barnard, Jr., report
ed that he had bought for the COM
pany one of the pictures lately on ex-
hibition at the hotel, THE Housewife"
painted by Miss Newcomb of this city,
and that the picture had been hung
in the ladies' parlor.
II was suggested at the meeting that
1t would be a good idea to gradually
accumulate a collection of historical
pictures in the hotel, and the por-
traits of De Soto Oglethorpe, Pulaski,
Greene, the Colonial and Revolutionary
Governors and others prominent in
those periods, all of whom were identi-
fed with Savannah's history and that
those of such other men who have been
prominent in the states affairs should
have places in the collection. The sug-
gestion received favorable comment,
and probably at some future time will
receive further consideration.

FIRE DROVE BIRDS
FROM THEIR HOME.
English sparrOws Suffered from PO-
litical Roman Candles.

litical Roman Candles.
AS result of the parade of the po-
litical clubs last night several Eng
lish sparrows were burned out of
house and home. and narrowly escaped
with their lives.
Not only were the little birds rem
dered homeless, but the patrolman on
duty on Bull street was exercised for
half an hour, and reported what had
happened at headquarters. But the
fire burned itself out, the birds found
temporary quarters and the services
of the firemen were not required.
The sparrows had their nest in the
hood over the electric light in front
of the postoffice building. A stray shot
from one of the Roman candles that
were being exploded fired the nest of
hay and the pile blazed up. 1t burned
and smoldered for quite awhile, but
so far as could be seen did no damage
to the light. The Savannah Electric
Company was notified of the trouble
by the police, but before the arrival
of a man the fire had burned itself
out.
