some sound Sense for Reelection.


Remember that it is worry, not work
that kills. Get your life purposely in
sured. then you win stop worrying.
Those who are safely insured do live
longer, for they do not worry concern
ing the welfare of their wives and the
little ones. Life insurance gives pro-
lection continuously and instead of be-
ing an expense it is in reality and sure
ly saving of money. Even if you
are poor or in debt. you had best not
procrastinate, waiting for a favorable
time-it may never come. Life insur-
ance is the one thing the sheriff can
not touch and its possession may save
many times its value to your estate.
1t is better than trying to accummu-
late competency in a savings bank
gives equally as good, frequently BET
ter, interest. with the protectloh
thrown in. 1t secures you competen-
cy for your own old age.
When you fail to insure your mousse
you take all the chances, but when you
fail to insure your life, your wife ana
babies take all the risk. Have you
ever had the laws of Massachusetts
explained to you? They throw mora
safeguards around policy-holders than
the laws of any other state in the I'm
ion. Let us tell you about them. Send
us your age and address and we Will
interest you. Harry & Apple, man

GREENE CASE WAS NOT
ASSIGNED FOR TRIAL
Docket for June Term of Superior
Court Called.


In the Superior Court yesterday a
number of cases in the criminal line
We're assigned for trial at the June
term.
Perhaps the case of most general in
terest is that of the state against
Henry G. Greene, charged with assault
with intent to murder. This case re-
suited in mistrial at the last GRIM
inal session of the court
The case has not yet been assigned
for trial at this term, and though il
may be called on Monday morning,
there is a feeling that the case will
he dropped. At the time the mistrial
was declared, the jury stood eleven
for acquittal and one for conviction.
The case of the state against Nat I.
Evans, also charged with assault with
intent to murder, is on the docket.
This case also is one of those which
will probably not some to trial. A mis-
trial resulted at the first hearing of the
case. The case against Charles Odell,
charged with gambling, is on the
docket, but owing to the absence of the
defendant it will go over.
The criminal week of the June term
promises to be of unusual interest. The
case against John Mobley, colored,
charged with murder, will be tried.
Fannie Hamilton, the negro woman
who killed a colored man by sticking
him just below the temple with a hat
pin, will also go on trial for her life.
In addition there are a number of
cases of minor interest.

RETAIL PRICES ARE
NOT YET INCREASED.
Advance in Meats Not Felt by Retail
Purchasers.

Purchasers.
Though there has been an Increase
in the price of meats at wholesale, no
change has yet been made in the re-
tail prices.
AT this time of the year." said Mr..
Harmon Cohen, one of the City Mar
ket butchers, I'VE cannot use our own
cattle, as they are not yet fat enough
for that purpose. The wholesalers and
packing houses know this and as re-
suit they raised the prices on US. At
present we cannot help ourselves,
though in about a month we can use
our own cattle. Then the packing
houses can do as they please about
prices.
Il have not increased my prices,
and do not believe that the other Sa-
vannah butchers have. We will serve
our customers at the same price We
have been serving them just as long
as we possibly can. 1 hope that we
can begin using our own cattle in q
short time, and if we do prices will
stay where they are.
The packing houses raise their
prices on us every year at just about
this time. They know that they have
us just where they want us ard as a
result we have to suffer. But It can
not last long and in about a month
will not be caring whether their prices
are high or low"

INJUNCTION CASE
DISCONTIN
ATTORNEYS FOR PLAINTIFF
WITHDREW CASE OF GWINNETT
STREET PROPERTY HOLDER.

Action Taken Only n Few Minutes
Before Time Set by Judge Cam
for Argument-Mrs. Anna Bell Ka-
row Was the PIaintiff-ReasOn for
Action Given by Attorneys Was
That Application for Injunction
From Judge Speer Covered
Ground.
The case of Mrs. Anna Bell Karow
against the Savannah Electric Com
pany was discontinued in the Superior
Court yesterday.
The action came as surprise to ev-
cry one. Anticipating argument on the
application for injunction a number
of Savannahians assembled at the
Court House and were waiting for the
case to be called by Judge Cam.
Shortly before 10 o'clock, the hour set
for the argument, Attorney William P.
Hardee appeared and asked the clerk
of the court for the papers in the case.
Mr.. Hardee took the papers and left
the office. A few minutes afterwards
he returned and again gave them to
OASAA II OSAA" MI OoO hlACAA AdCC was
written Discontinued on motion of
plaintiffs attorneys" The names of
William P. Hardee and Adams & Ad-
ans were signed to the discontinuing
notice.
Every one in the Court House at
once began conjecturing the reason for
this sudden turn of affairs. Different
opinions were given, the two prevail
ing ones being that the action was
taken because the case was already
court, and that the intimation of Judge
Cam as to what his decision would be
had made argument seem useless.
Attorneys Were Reticent.
Both attorneys for the plaintiff were
reticent when asked about the case
and showed little or no inclina ton to
discuss it. Mr.. Hardee stated that the
reason for withdrawing the case from
the court was because of the applica-
ton of the other Gwinnett street prop
erty holders for injunction from the
United States courts.
Judge S. 3. Adams when asked for
give out He merely stated that he had
known that the case was to be discon-
tinued and that he had authorized Mr..
! Hardee to sign his name to the discon-
tinuing notice. He declined to discuss
| the case further.
Before Judge Speer Tomorrow.
The entire matter now lies with
Judge Speer. Mrs. Karow is not a
party to the litigation begun in the
United States courts, though should
an injunction be granted the other
property holders, her object would be
attained The argument before Judge
| Speer will be heard on Monday morn
| ing, the plaintiff being represented by
| Maj. ]. Ferris Cam. Osborne &, Law
renee will represent the defendant
| company.
The general opinion among the court
house officials, and those who have
| followed the case closely from its
| inception, was that the action was
| taken because the attorneys for the
plaintiff believed that they had little
chance to secure a permanent injunc-
ton in the state court For this rea-
son, it is claimed, they preferred to
mark the case discontinued to having
| it thrown out of court.

BARK BUILDING PLANS
ARE NOW FINISHED
Will BE Submitted to Directors for
Their Approval.

Plans for the new building that the
National Bank of Savannah intends to
erect at Bull and Broughton streets in
the fall have been completed by Arch
itect H. w. Witcover and were on ex-
hibition at the bank yesterday
The story of the building was given
in the Morning News about ten days
ago. The plans will be submitted to
the directors of the bank for ap-
prevail this week There will be no
changes made. Though the building is
to be only four stories high, it will
probably be one of the handsomest
structures in the city. The entire low
er floor is to be devoted to the bank
and the Oglethorpe Savings Company.
The three upper stories will be given
over to offices.

Osborne has not been informed on the
subject at all.
Almost all of the old foundation on

that the work can be started within a

the matter is being delayed.

The matter will come up at the next

contractors have been given permission
to go ahead with the work, provided
there is nothing done that does not
conform to the building regulations.
There is some difference of opinion
as to whether the material that the
contractors want to use should be al
lowed. The question will have to be
settled by the aldermen. 1t is pro-
posed to build the houses of stucco

HAS NOT LEARNED HOW
MONEY is ALLOTTED.
Hut Fort screven Appropriation
Probably Covers Much.

Probably Covers Much.
The allotment of $4,000 for Fort
Screven, announcement of which was
made in the Morning News yesterday,
is probably distributed over many con-
templated improvements. The distribu-
ton of the money among the different
improvements is a matter lying with
the quartermaster's department.
Col. James B. Quinn. division chief
Of United States engineers, has heard
nothing concerning the appropriation
in addition to what was given in the
Morning News. The money will
probably be used for post improve
ments." he said, though 1 know alb
solutely nothing of how the money is
allotted.
1T is not probable that any of the
money for the new buildings which
have just been started by the contrac-
tor will be taken from this last appro-
priation. This money will be used to
carry out several contemplated inn
provements in different lines. The al
lotment to each lies. with the quarter

Alderman Dixon, However VIII
Bring Matter Up in Council.
Mayor Myers is opposed to laying
walk through the Park Extension this
year, as has been suggested by Chair
man of Council Dixon. The city will
not have the money, the Mayor says.
Mr.. Myers favors laying a solid walk,
anyway, whenever one is put down,
instead of the two walks with n grass
plat between them as Mr.. Dixon pro-
poses.
Mr.. Dixon will bring the matter up
at the next meeting of Council, how
cred. He thinks the city can well af-
ford TO spend the money. The walk
will cost a little less than $4,000, and
Mr.. Dixon thinks it is badly needed. 1t
would improve the looks of the Park
Extension UNNECESSARILY and would be
a great convenience. The alderman
thinks the walk should be built at once
and he will work 10 get a resolution
through Council as soon as possible,
