THE MAYOR CALLED ON.
Replied That There Was Nothing
Left for Him to Say.

Col. Estill called on Hon. Herman
Myers in his double capacity of Mayor
of the city and vice president of the
Chamber of Commerce to say some
thing. Mr.. Myers explained that after
so much excellent advice, fine logic,
and food for reflection had been given
by the other speakers there was moth
ing left for him to say that would be
of interest and be asked to be excused.
In behalf of Mayor Myers, however,
Col. Estill told of his efforts to interest
business men in other parts of the
country in securing deeper water for
Savannah and asked that all local mer-
chants who have not already done so
will send to Mr.. Myers the names of
the important correspondents in other
parts of the country that their serv-
ices may be enlisted in Savannah's be-
half.
The refreshments, which had been
prepared by the ladies of the Independ-
ent Society of st. Paurs Church, and
which were served under the direction
of Capt. Fred w. Garden. were served
during the addresses. Just before
the meeting was adjourned a flash
light picture was taken by Photogra-
pher Moore.

How Savannahians Can Help One
Another was discussed by Hon. r. M.
Hitch. Coming into the hall. Mr..
Hitch said he had noticed on one of
the placards all that he had meant
to say. Il am like the Irishman," he
said. who, though religious, was lazy,
and to save time and still attend to his
religious duties had his prayers print
ed on a placard, that hung near his
bed. Upon disrobing at night, he sim
ply looked at the placard, remarked,
Lord. them's my sentiments, too
and turned in
In my case tonight" Mr.. Hitch
said, Il could simply read to you the
motto on the wall, Every dollar spent
away leaves it's blight at home, saw
them's my sentiments and sit down.
That card tells great truth and one
that, If needed at home would be
or great benefit to the city. Every
$40 bill that is spent at home is of a
benefit to the city that can best be
realized by remembering Dooleys plan
for a clearing house for Christmas
presents.
Pleaded for Home Patronage.
Mr.. Hitch said further that while the
merchants complain of the lack of To-
cal patronage they themselves are
much to blame in certain of their
practices that violate the very princi-
pie that they seek to uphold where their
own patrons are concerned. He cited
a case where a Savannah man had
collected bill from another Savan-
nah man through the medium of a col
lection agency of Chicago.
He told of a New York tailor who
makes periodical trips to Savannah.
and says he never leaves on his return
without carrying with him orders that
amount to something like $4,000 This
isn't right, said Mr.. Hitch; it isn't fair
to the people we make our living out
of. We ought to create such sem
timent here that people will be asham-
ed to buy things elsewhere when they
can get them at home.
The Chamber of Commerce in its
short career has done more for the
people and the business interests of
Savannah" said Mr.. Hitch. than any
other organization" He congratulated

CONFIDENCE WHAT is NEEDED.

Town should he Taught.

After music by the orchestra. Maj. ].
Ferris Cam spoke on How the Cham
Der of Commerce Can Best Serve the
Interest of Savannah"
The Chamber of Commerce can
best serve the interest of the people of
Savannah" he said, by teaching and
intoxicating confidence in the city, for
that is what they now lack. My OBJ
servation and experience has been that
they need this lesson badly. The lesson
should be so impressed on them that
their every word will be Savannah and
its advantages. Until we educate our
own people to this point we can't hope
to educate foreigners to it.
Let every man asked to subscribe
to an enterprise put aside his selfish
interests, see if the project will be of
assistance to the city, and if it will
and he can help it along, let him do SO;
indirectly he will be benefited by it
What do they do now? If you go to
man and ask his cooperation in a
project his first question is DO you
think Savannah big enough to support
that" 1 say to you Savannah is big
enough to support any enterprise in
tended to be launched in Georgia or in
the United StatesI| We've got facili-
ties and are only upon the threshold
of our progress} it depends on the
community whether the city shall re-
main in apathy or continue its
progress.
1.-THE Chamber of Commerce is an
important body, an organization
through which are expressed the needs
and desires of the business community.
To accomplish its proper functions it
must have the cooperation of the
members with it's officers, this is their
due and this you must give them if
the work is to meet with continued
success.
THE organization must teach it's
members to have condolences in our
city; there is no reason why you
shouldn't, for in climate and beauty it
is the most glorious place on the face
of Gods earth. You ought to know
this for every visitor to the city tells
you so. Get to work in the interes of
your town and you will find that there
is no limit to developing the advan-
tages that Savannah naturally offers.

"THE PUBLIC SPIRITED CITIZEN"
Subject of "Heart to Heart Talk"
by Frank NJ. Oliver.

Mr.. Frank M oliver. whose subject
was "A Public Spirited Citizen" be-
gan by saying that he meant to make
a heart to heart talk. and that he
liked his subject as it gave him a mag
nificent opportunity for plucking the
mote from his brothers eye.
THE public spirited citizen of Sa
Vannah, who measures up to my stand
ard" he said, II have named member
of the Chamber of Commerce. To my
mind the citizen of Savannah who IS
unwilling to unite his thought and en-
ergy with ours in the unselfish and pa
triotic efforts we are putting forth to
secure for Savannah new capital, new
enterprises and new people, has in his
heart very little interest in Savannah's
future. To my mind the citizen that
refuses to lend his support to the or
ganization, whose purpose 1t Is to labor
for the advancement of no particular
class, but for all causes and classes
alike. is either placing his judgment
i'm the balances against the united
Judgment of his neighbors, or else he
is entirely Indifferent to the prosperity
of his neighbor.
II number as another essential Of
public spirited man and of equal inn
portance with unselfishness, the at
tribute of energy. The time never was
when the drone bee gathered the honey
for the hive. The man who sits idly
by, waiting for something to turn up,
is usually turned over and turned out
by the pushing aggressive man. Don't
ever bank on a pull or wait for some-
thing to turn up. You might as wen,

One of the most recent movements
begun is that for good roads connect
ing with those of Chatham county and
extending throughout all the neighbor-
ing counties. This matter has been
pushed vigorously and is in fair way
to bring most satisfactory results. To
secure emigrants the city Joined the
Greater Georgia movement for which
purpose $1,000 was raised. AS the re-
suit of the advertising done through
the medium of the ASSOCIATION $500 COM
munications have been received, 1000
from business men and 1900 from far
mers. To each of these enquirers a let
ter has been sent and also booklet
setting forth Savannah's advantages.
Factories Brought Here.
AS the result of this advertising two
families of farmers have been secured,
one consisting of five persons, the 9TH
er of three. Two new factories have
been secured, one a whisky distillery,
the other a plant for the extracting of
pine products. Negotiations that prom
Use to be successful are now being con-
Quoted looking to the moving to Sa-
vannah of several other plants. Dur
ing the year eight conventions were
brought to the city either through the
direct or the indirect influence of the
organization.

Secretary DOnIRn's Report of What
Has Been Accomplished.
Secretary Donlan touched only brief
ly on the work that has been taken up
by the Chamber since it's organ
ization. and gave. as President Estill
expressed it, only the headlines. yet so
many are the matters that have been
handled that the report covered
twenty pages of typewriter paper and
occupied nearly half an hour in read
ing.
1t showed that the Chamber of Com
merce took an active part in
the efforts of Congressman Small of
North Carolina to secure an inland
water route that would protect ship
ping against the dangers of Hatteras
and consequently cheaper freights, and
that at subsequent consideration of the
same matter when presented by Mr..
Taylor of Columbia, S. O., it was de-
cided to send delegates to convention
to discuss the subject whenever that
body shall be called together

SEIZED HIS NOVEL.
Another Sensation Uneartbed in Ger
man Army Circles.

Berlin, March 22.-"First Class Men,"
military novel on the pattern of Lieut..
Bilsen's book, "a Little Garrison"
(Which related incidents of the abuse
of soldiers, told of alleged actions dis
creditable to officers, brought in local
families in Forbach, Alsace- Lorraine,
and for which the author was sem
fenced to Imprisonment and dismissed
from the army) was confiscated in
the Berlin book stores to-day. 1t is
supposed that proceedings will imme-
diately be initiated against the author
OF the book, Count Wolff Baudissin.
1t is supposed that Count Wolff
Baudissin will try to establish the
truthfulness of his charges, in which
event the case will doubtless surpass
Lieut.. Bilsen's book in public interest,
since the Fusilier Guards regiment is
CHARTERED in Berlin, whereas the scan
dals alleged in "A Little Garrison" took
place in small frontier town.
