A Peculiar COndition-LOw Price
Lots Scarcc.

Never before in the history of Savan-
nah has there been such scarcity of
lots, in good localities, that were within
the reach of people of small means.
A few years ago, it was possible to
find lots, we'll located, ranging in price
from $500 to $500.
All of these have been absorbed by
homeseekers, and there seems to be
no source from which to draw another
supply.
The territory on the south has been
taken up for two miles beyond Forty
second street
On the west, there is no land avail
able until West Savannah is reached.
On the east, after passing Collins
vile, which ends at Anderson street,
the land is so held that subdivisions
seem impossible, until Thirty-seventh
street is reached.
From this point to Estill avenue,
must be the territory in which persons
who are unable to pay $500 to $1,000
for thirty foot lot must look for
their homes. .t,a
If the city authorities would open
streets in this portion of the city, it
would be soon built up, because of the
cheapness Of lots and the nearness to
trolley lines, school, etc.-ad.

NEGRO CHARGED WITH
ACCEPTING A FEE.
In Consideration of Securing Ship
ment of Hands On the Pollard.

In Consideration of Securing Ship
ment of Hands On the Pollard.
In record breaking time Jack John
son, colored, was arraigned before
Commissioner Hewlett yesterday after
noon at 1870 o'clock, the warrant hav-
ing been sworn out an hour and a half
before. The negro was charged with
Chance" to ship on the Lula L. Pol
lard by paying him 81.
Johnson was employed by Capt. j.
c. Howell to ship negroes, and three
witnesses testified to different parts
of an attempted hold up" of a negro
in order to secure a job. After hear
ing the evidence Commissioner Hew-
lett decided that the matter was in
the nature of a quarrel between the
negroes. Johnson was warned that if
he came up on similar charge he
would get into serious trouble.
Johnson is under indictment jointly
with Henry Olson, who was given a
sentence of five years in the state pris-
on for having "shanghied" eight ne
groes. The fact of the indictment
hanging over the negro caused the
United States authorities to quickly in
vestigate the report that he was vio-
lating the law in another way.
Under the statute as amended by
the act of April. 1904, it is provided
that IF any person shall demand or
receive, directly or indirectly from any
seaman, or any person seeking employ
ment as a seaman, any remuneration
whatever for providing him with en-
ployment, the punishment shall be i'm
priSonment for not more than six
months and fine of not more than
$500"
United States Attorney w. r. Leak
en-, who appeared for the government
stated that the punishment before the
amendment was a fine of 500.

ATTEMPTED TO BRAIN
HUSBAND WITH AN Ak.
Struck Him Vicious Blow in Head
While He Slept.

StFuck him VICIOUS blow IN dea0
while He Slept.
Slipping out of bed early yesterday
morning, Annie Turner, a negro wom-
an, secured an ak, returned to the bed,
where her husband, George Turner. lay
asleep and attempted to knock his
brains out.
The mans head was horribly crush
ed and cut, and he is in a dangerous
condition. The woman is under arrest
at the police station, charged with as
sault with intent to murder
The couple live at No. 122 Farm
street. Friday night they had a row,
the wife accusing her husband of visit
ing another woman. There were some
words, but the quarrel was patched
up, or at least Turner thought it was.
The couple retired and the wife, nurs-
ing her jealousy waited until Turner
was asleep. She then went to the rear
of the house, secured the ak and re-
turned to the beside, intent upon muir
der.
Raising the ak in the air, she brought
1t down on her husbands head with all
her might The side of the head was
struck, breaking the jaw and making
an ugly wound. The mans screams
attracted the attention of the neigh
bors, who summoned the police. Pa
trolman Duffy was the first to reach
the scene. He had Turner sent to the
Georgia Infirmary and notified the de-
tectives of the affair Detective Muir
ply arrested the woman a short time
afterwards.
The case against the woman was
called in Police Court yesterday, but
owing to the serious condition of the
wounded man it was postponed. 1t
was stated at the hospital later in the
day that there was a chance for his
recovery.

STOP OVER PRIVILEGES
HELP TOURIST BUSINESS
Coming Season Gives Promise of
Being the Best Yet.

NOmAhB season OlNes FpOMAsc OF
Being the Best Yet.
Indications tend to confirm the be-
lief that the coming winter tourist
season will be the best ever enjoyed
by Savannah.
The fame of the city's balrny cline
and manifold attractions as a winter
resort have become more widely known
and as a result there will be a very
sA-ge number of visitors who will
spend from four weeks to FIVE months
here.
Last year the railroads placed in
effect the privileges of a stop-over on
all winter tourist tickets to Florida
points and this year the same con-
cessions have been made. Many of
those who took advantage of the stop
over last season were so delighted
with the beauty of the city and its
climate that they will arrange to spend
month or more here.
Those who stop over this winter for
the first time will in turn become ap-
prised of the advantages offered by
Savannah as winter resort and next
season will at least divide their time
with some of the smaller places whose
tells.
Savannah, as is we'll known, offers
many advantages of which no other
Southern city can boast, and if North
ern tourists can be induced to make
a personal investigation such as the
stop-oVer privileges will allow, 1t will
do much to encourage the growth of
this city as a winter resort point.
The winter season opens at the De
Soto Nov. 1, and preparations are al
ready on foot for the entertainment
of guests.
"The outlook for a big winter season
is fine" said Manager Watson yester-
day. 1--WE have already booked many
of those who were here last season.
I'm addition to bookings, we have
received numerous inquiries about Sa-
vannah and the hotel, and we will no
doubt get many of those who have
never before been here.
Then, too. the stop-over privileges
granted again by the railroads will
help greatly. We have felt the benefits
already from one season of this ar
rangement. These stop-overs will be
much more numerous this year than
last.

BIG M0CCASIN KILLED
IN COLONIAL PARK.
Measured over Four Feet and Was
of Poisonous Variety.

of Poisonous Variety.
A snake, which is commonly known
as a highland moccasin, was killed
in Colonial Park shortly after dark
last night by Mr.. w. C. Davis.
Mr. Davis was going through the
park shortly before his supper time,
when he saw long black object on
the paved walk in front of him. At
first he thought it was a baseball
bat left there by some of the children,
but when the object moved he discover
ed 1t was a snake.
Mr.. Davis attacked the reptile with
his walking cane, and soon had it
hors de combat. BY actual measure
ment, the snake was four feet, three
inches long, and portions of its body
were four inches in diameter.
Snakes of this variety are deadly
poison, though not as venomous as
the RATHER, nor do they attack as does
the RATHER Whether or not there are
more of these snakes in the park is
not known, as this is the first one that
has been seen there in years.
