ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS
READY FOR OPENING.
Some Congestion in Several of the
Schools.

Some Congestion in Several of the
schools.
The issuing of admission cards to
the public schools of Savannah yester-
day brought the total number Of cards
issued up to 500. OF this number 10S
were issued during the day.
All Of the pupils. so far as possible,
have been assigned to their seats and
everything is now in readiness for the
opening of the school year on Mon
day morning.
BY taking up the room in Chatham
Academy heretofore used for kinder
garten purposes. accommodations have
been provided for all the children who
will enter the First Grade in that
school. There is, however. some con-
gestion in the Second, Third, and
Fourth grades at Chatham Academy
and as a result, many are still on the
waiting list. There is also a slight con-
gestion in the First Grade at the An
derson Street School.
Supt. Ashmore is confident that he
will be able to give seats to all those
on the waiting list by Tuesday or
enter are urged to make their appli-
cations at once as pupils on the wait
ing list will be seated in the order in
which they have applied. There is
still room in all the grades of some of
the schools and through the transfer
systems all can be given seats, if their
names are handed to the superintend-
ent at once.
Especial attention is called to the
fact that on Monday morning the small
Slips which must be pasted in books
before an exchange can be made, will
be on hand at the different schools and
the proper certificate can be made by
the teachers. Heretofore it has been
necessary for the parents to accom-
pany the children to the book stores,
and there fill out the blanks. Under
the present arrangement, however all
that is necessary is for the children to
take the books for exchange to the
schools with them and the teachers will
fill out the certificates.
Every teacher is back I'm the city
and ready to commence the years
work. Final instructions We're given
at the different teachers meetings
yesterday and work will start prompt
ly tomorrow morning. All children
muct be in their places at the opening
hour. Seats to which children are en-
titled, by reason of their having been
i'm school at the close of the year last
June, will be given to new pupils if
not occupied tomorrow.

TAX BOOKS OPENED
AT THE COURT HOUSE.
Collector Thomson Satisfied With
Showing On Opening Day.

Collector Thomson Satisfied With
Showing On Opening Day.
At o'clock yesterday morning the
state and county tax books opened at
the office of Collector Thomas f. Thorn
son in the Court House.
The showing made for the first day
was a very good one, and both the
collector and his assistants were very
well satisfied, especially when all the
conditions are taken into consideration.
No notices have been sent out as yet,
and the only announcement that the
books were open was that which APP
peared in the daily newspapers. De-
spite these facts, however a large
amount was received
A large cards has been hung up just
within the entrances to the Court
House announcing that the books are
now open, that the taxes are now due,
and exhorting all taxpayers to make
their returns at once. Later the of
fetal notices will be sent out to every
one who has not paid. The books will
he open every day. Sundays excepted,
from o'clock in the morning until /
o'clock in the afternoon for the pay
ment of taxes. 1t is hoped that there
will be, no holding back and no de-
lays, as such a course causes a heavy
rush of business during the last few
days that the books remain open.

his wife and of his intention of get

much excited. and was very nervous.

FOUND ON STREET
STABBED IN BACK.
Daed Afterwards at Hospital, But
Stabbing Not Cause of Death.

StaDb1nS Not Oause or Death'
Found sick at Broughton and West
Broad yesterday morning, Andrew Nell
son. a man apparently about 40 years
of age was carried in the police am
bulance to st. Joseph's Hospital and
there it was found he had been
stabbed in the back. The man died a
short time afterwards, but the stabbing
is said to have had nothing to do with
his death.
1t was not until the man reached the
hospital and was undressed that 1t
was learned he had been stabbed. His
wound was at first thought to be re-
sponsible for his dying condition, but
upon examination it proved to be a
very slight cut. which could not have
possibly produced death. He was suf-
fering, it was found, from a virulent
type of malarial fever. accompanied
by frequent congestiVe chillS.
The death was reported to the Coro-
ner, as the report had been circulated
that the man died from the wound,
and an investigation was made. DIR.
Smith, the house physician at st. Jo-
seph's, assured the coroner that the
wound had nothing to do with the
mans death and no inquest was held.
The case is a rather mysterious one,
as nothing is known about Nelson at
all When found on the street, he was
suffering greatly. He was only able to
gasp his name and the statement that
he was a sailor.
AS the marine patients are treated at
st. Joseph's he was carried there.
Wagon Driver Ferguson saw that the
man was almost dead and drove at full
speed to the hospital. AT the hospital
there was another effort made to learn
something from the patient but he
could scarcely talk. He said his
name was Andrew and said he had
forgotten, when asked his last name
There was no letter or paper of any
kind in his pockets. Efforts were
made by the marine authorities here to
verify the statement that he was a
sailor, but no one could be found who
knew anything about him. The ma
rine authorities do not think he was a
sailor. AS none of his relatives. are
known the body was turned over to
the city for burial.J- .e. In
1t is said that the stab in the back
had been inflicted by a. negro three
nights before, near the Mill-Haven
Company, but there is no positive ev-
idence of this fact.

NO MORE CONCESSIONS

Jefferson Street Paving Cases May
he Fought Out in Court.
At meeting of the Finance Commit
tee of Council yesterday morning, at
which the Mayor was present, before
Alderman Dixon, the chairman left for
the North, it was determined not to
make any more concessions to the JEFF
ferson street owners in the time hon
ored paving cases. If they don't want
to accept the offer of the city then the
cases will be fought out in the courts,
it was announced after the meeting.
The city won the case in the Supe-
rior Court and it will come up before
the Supreme Court this month some
time, so the city will not lose much
time by fighting the case. The city
has already made a very liberal offer,
Mayor. Myers said. after the meeting,
and he thinks the owners have made
a mistake in not accepting it at once
The city has agreed to accept the prin-
cipal of the bills as payment in full,
if paid by Oct. 10, Notwithstanding the
fact that the court awarded interest
also which amounts to almost as much
@as the principal. Mr.. ]. r. Saussy,
who represents the owners, did not APP
pear at the meeting.

And How II Assures That Comfort
able Feeling.

Let me show you my insurance
plant" said a merchant to visiting
friend. This little card is a copy OF
a provision in my life insurance policy
which tells me how much cash can
get at the end of every year. Only
the agent kept me paying during the
early years. After had it three years,
however, he came to me and said: /
don't suppose 1 will have to coax you
to keep up your policy any longer, for
it is now valuable and growing as
set I asked him to explain and he
showed me that 1 could borrow quite
neat sum If l so desired, l had new
er thought about that feature, but
had looked upon my premium payments
rs a dead loss. | was so much inter-
ested in the rapid increase that 1 had
a copy of the values made and stuck
up here on my desk where l can see
it. AS each year goes by put cross
opposite the amount in the cash col
umn and 1 write down the amount of
my dividend accommodations, so that l
can see ait a glance how much it is
worth to me. You see that the cash
value is now over $1.650. to say moth
ing of the dividends and interest which
are to the credit of my policy. These
l may draw out at any time, and still
leave my policy intact. Under the
tontine nlan of insurance I would not
receive credit for these dividends until
after twenty years, and then it is OPP
tional with the company to give you
what they please. 1 like the annual
dividend plan best. 1 have none of
the old feeling that paying for life in
Surance is throwing away money
have constantly before me the fact that
| am not only protecting my family,
but am saving money by paying for in
surance. That little card is an incen-
tive and 1 can see my policy climbing
and growing in value. 1 never look at
it without. getting that comfortable
feeling"
