STRANGER IN CITY
STRICKEN BY L0CKJAW.
Charlie johnston, of North Dakota,
VIII Probably Die.

Charlie Johnston, of North Dakota,
VIII Probably Die.
Suffering from lockjaw to such an
extent that he could not speak, Char
lie Johnston. a young man with only
one leg, walked into police headquar-
tiers early last night and asked in
writing to be sent to a hospital.
Desk Sergeant McCool, who was on
duty, called the ambulance and sent
the man to the Savannah Hospital,
where it was announced at a late hour
that he was in very precarious con-
dition and would probably die.
Johnston appears to be about "a
years of age. He is from North Da-
kota and no one knows the cause of
his presence in the city.
Soon after reaching the hospital he
became unconscious.
1t was learned before he lost con-
seriousness that he had stuck a nail
in his foot about six days ago.

CHURCH MAY BE READY
BEFORE NEXT EASTER
New Westminster Presbyterian
Church to Cost About $4,000.


1t is possible that the new West
minister Presbyterian Church will be
finished and ready for dedication by
next Easter.
Rev. w. A. Nisbet stated yesterday
that there are number of matters
yet to be pushed to q conclusion be-
fore definite announcement concerning
the time the church would be finish
ed could be made, but he hoped it
would be ready by that time.
The new church will be erected on
the lot recently bought by the con-
gregation. at the southeast corner of
Bull and Anderson streets. The edi-
fee will cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000, depending upon the material
used. The Building Committee of the
congregation has not yet decided
whether the church shall be built of
brick, or of stone. If brick is used
stone, fully $4,000 more will be re-
quired.
No action will be taken regarding
the new church until Rev. Mr.. Nisbet
returns from his vacation. BY that
time it is hoped that definite arrange
ments can be completed and the con-
tract let. The work will then be
pushed rapidly forward until the new
church is complete. 1t is hoped by
Mr.. Nisbet that the church will see
its way clear to make the new edifice
of stone.
Owing to the conditions under which
the present church was built, the lot
cannot be used to help pay for the new
church. The present lot on Anderson
and Abercorn streets was decided the
Independent Presbyterian Church and
was loaned to the Westminster con-
grebltion in order that a Presbyterian
church might be built i'm the southern
section of the city, This makes it i'm
possible for the congregation to sell
the lot and apply the proceeds to the
expenses of the new church, the deed
stipulating that the lot must be used
for religious purposes.

PHONE MESSAGE FAXED.

At the meeting of the Hussars last
night, no action was taken upon the
robbery of the cash drawer of the club
Saturday night, Capt. Gordon stated
after the meeting. So far no clue at
all has been found as to the identity
of the thief. The telephone message
which was sent the assistant superin-

not telephone to the club.

PARKER OWES
MUCH To GEORGIA
ADMITTED INDEBTEDNESS
TO MIR. MILLS b. LANE AND OTHER
GEORGIA VISITORS.

SOuthcrners His Guests for short
Time at EsOpus-Met Cordial Re-
ceptiOn and Were Impressed with
Democratic NOminee-Banner OF
Georgia Delegates That Rallied
Convention to His Side I'm Place
of Honor at EsOpus Home.
After trip to New York, during
which he had the opportunity of pay
ing a visit to Judge Alton B. Parker,
the Democratic nominee for President
of the United States, Mr. Mills b.
Lane is back in Savannah.
The visit was made to the home
of Judge Parker at Esopus, N. Y, and
in company with several other resi-
dents of Georgia, Mr.. ]. R. Gray and
Col. J. w. English, of Atlanta, and
DIR. H. II. Martin of Savannah.
With the exception of Mr.. Gray, the
party made but a short stay, some
two hours, but during that time Mr..
Lane became much impressed with the
personality of the Democratic nomi-
nee, whom he believes to be able, con-
servative and possessed of all those
qualities that are needed in the exalted
position to which he aspires.
On his way to Judge Parkers home
from the railroad station, Mr.. Lane
had as a fellow passenger Mrs. Daniel
Manning, who took occasion to tell
him that she was proud of Georgia
because of the way it had stood by
Judge Parker prior to the nomina-
ton.
Feels Kindly Toward Georgia.
That Judge Parker also feels kindly
toward this state because of the part
the Georgia delegates took in helping
to secure his nomination is shown by
the fact that the Parker banner carried
to the St. Louis convention by the del
egation, and afterwards used to rally
the convention to his interest, now
adorns the judges home at Esopus.
where it is placed in the front hall in
a conspicuous position. Judge Parker
also expressed to his Georgia visitors
his appreciation of what this state had
done in his interest, saying that he
owes much to Georgia.
Mr.. Lane believes from what he
uSdIu White III view 1OIk lndl 11OH.
Daniel Lamont will be the choice of
the Democrats for Governor of the
state, and that the other members on
the ticket will be of a kind that viii
harmonic all Democratic. factions so
that the entire vote of the state may
be secured. A special effort will be
made to carry the state, and the signs
now seem to show that the effort will
be successful.
Money to Be Plentiful.
Though it has been stated a number
of times that Mr.. Lane was in New
York attending convention of bank
ers he was simply on pleasure trip.
He did investigate financial conditions,
however, and found them to be in eX-
cellent shape. Farmers have never had
better crop prospects, he said. A big
crop is assured and, what is quite as
important, a good price for it.
Within the next ninety days, he be-
lieves there will be more money in the
South than there will be opportunities
for prof1tably investing it and that the
banks will find themselves in the posi-
tion of seeking to make loans instead
of having borrowers approach them as
is now the case.
Mr.. Lane will return to New York in
September to attend the American
Bankers Convention, which will be
held in that city Sept. IA, Is and 16.

COUNTY REFORMAT0RY E"
is NOT DESIRABLE.
Grand Jury. However, Did Not
Touch On This Subject.

Touch On This Subject.
That a county reformatory is an
undesirable thing for amy community
was the feeling OF members of the
grand jury that passed away with
the making of it's presentments yes
terday.
Although the matter was not touch
ed upon in the general presentments,
1t is understood the jurors discussed
the subject among themselves. Some
of the members thought that such an
institution would have a tendency to
put a premium ON crime, not forget
ting, too, that the residents of the
county voted against it several years
ago. 1t has been argued that the
training of these juvenile criminals
would inflict a. great hardship on
worthy class of artisans who would
be forced to compete with them.

tors. Who are usually in full bloom
early IN September. in most Presi-
DENTAL years. have not made a
sign or a spiel as yet This IS
surely an indication that most Peo-
pie are contented with present
political conditions in national.
state and county affairs, and why
should they not be? The country
was never in a more prosperous
condition than under our strenu-
Gus president. and in county al
fairs the republican candidates are
all deserving OF re election because
OF the excellent records they have
made. Not one word can be said
against them, and taxpayers who
believe in exercising the same
judgment in county affairs that
they woul1 utilize in their own PIT
vste business affairs will vote to re-.
tain officials who have proved their
worth and efficiency. The new
candidates on the republican ticket
are all we'll known. and need no
words OF praise to commend them
to the favorable consideration OF
the voters OF Otero county. This
is a republican year and the crop
of successful political candidates
promises to be largely republican.
