HOW TO GET RICH.
Lesson 4, Chapter 2.

There are wise men and men that
are otherwise. There are lucky men
and those that are otherwise. But the
successful combination is a man both
wise and lucky. This is an individual
who keeps his eyes and ears open, and
when he sees or hears of what he
thinks is a good chance, he tries his
luck. Sometimes he misses the mark,
but nine times out of ten he hits the
bull's-eye. Some years ago. a man who
was the head boss of a corporation
thought it wise to buy a piece of land
for the company. He Thought it would
be a good investment, but after he
had negotiated for the property, the
other bosses thought he was too smart.
and told him that they didn't want
the land and he had better buy it
on his own account. So he bought it,
The price to be paid for the five acres
was $1,000. Some of his friends init
mated that he was crazy to pay such
a price! However, he paid 81, 900 cash
and gave his notes for the balance.
(Of course he paid the notes in due
time.) Some years after, so the story
goes, he sold off $54.00 worth of lots.
1t is said that he has a few lots left.
and that whenever he needs a little
pocket change" he sells a lot for
something over $1,000. That man has
the reputation of being smart and
lucky, but the truth is he is patriotic:
he believes that Savannah is in its
infancy, but that it is a growing city.
and like all growing cities. land in and
around it is steadily enhancing In
value.
There is another party who has made
good sum in real estate. 1t is about
thirty years since he conceived the idea
that a place near town where he could
plant fruit trees and grape vines, and
raise his table truck would make him
happy. He invested $4,000 in his fad"
possibly the cash paid was small He
didn't grow much on the land, but the
land grew in value. A land COMPANY
came along in the SOS and, bought
the less valuable portion of his farm
for $4,000, and then the nearer in town
part of the land became valuable as
city lots, and he sold them until he
had 100000 good interest-bearing in
Vestments. and a sufficiency of his
original land left to provide an ale-
CANT home. He still works a little lust
to keep himself healthy, and spends a
part of each year in Europe, or ar
Northern summer resorts.
l don't know of any tracts of land
for sale just now like those mentioned
but there are lots and blocks to be had
that will realize proportionately inst
as much money. A few dollars invest
ed in lots or blocks on Thirty-nintb
street. east, or elsewhere in eouAllv
eligible locations, will give a big nroiit
to those who can hold them for a few
years. Try your luck! You can't lose
anything. Do something! Don't wait
until you are old, and then give YOUR
valuable 90 experience with real estate
that you didn't buy-ad

HAS NO FUNDS
FOR EMMETT PARK
BUT CITY WILL IMPROVE IT.
DECREE WILL BE SIGNED TODAY
BY JUDGE SEABROOI<.

The ROadwnys VIII BE Cut Ont This
Year and n Few other Improve
ments Made, But Most of the work
VIII Have to wait Until Next
Year, AS There Is no ApprOpria-
tiOn Now for the Park-ParI< Has
Friends in Council.
With the signing to-day of the de-
cree in the Emmett Park case the bat
tie between the city and the opponents
of the public park will be ended.
Emmett Park will be decreed a public
park by Judge Seabrook, although
roadways are to be cut through it.
The improvement of the park will have
to be taken up by City Council.
Had the case been settled last year,
or the year before, there would have
been funds on hand for the improve
ment of the park. For two years in
succession the city made liberal ap-
propriation for the improvement of
this property
But this year, when expenses for the
City Hall. and other extraordinary ex-
penditures, arose, Emmett Park was
cut and no appropriation was made for
the intended improvements. AS a con-
sequence, the city finds itself in a pc
culiar position. There is no appropria-
ton for the improvement of the park
and the court declares that it is a
public park.
In Hands of Council.
Mayor Myers says it is a question
for Council and not for the Mayor
alone. The probabilities are that the
proposed roadways will be laid out in
the park and such other improvements
as are possible for this year will be
made. The identifying of the park,
and the additions that have been sug
gested in the way of fountains and
benches. will probably have to wait
over until next year.
Any way the matter is entirely with
Council, The Mayor says there is no
appropriation and the condition of af-
fairs will be brought to the attention
Of Council and the aldermen will have
to decide what is to be done.
Though the matter has not come up
yet. it is understood that the road
ways will be laid out as soon as posi-
BILE. The aldermen will vote for this
and for as many improvements as can
y
priations the park was not considered
at all, as it was still in litigation.
Park Has Its Friends.
Practically all of the aldermen are
in favor of improving it, however.
There is opposition, though, to the
plan suggested by the Park and Tree
Commission. 1t is not thought to be
the best for the improvement of the
park, and some of the aldermen will
oppose it.
A peculiar feature of the Emmett
Park case came out yesterday when
Chairman P. d. Daffin, of the Park
and Tree Commission, filed an applica-
ton with the Mayor for permission to
move his office fixtures across the Park.
The Mayor read the letter and referred
it to the superintendent of police, with
instructions not to have the Park and
Tree Commission chairman arrested

WOMAN REPUDIATES
ALLEGED CONFESSION.
Fannie Hamilton Now Denies She
Killed Jim Osborne.


The Perry lane killing of Thursday
morning will be investigated in Po-
lice Court to-day. The detectives have
gotten tired # waiting for the inquest
that the coroner says he is going to
hold and the Recorder will hold
hearing. Fannie Hamilton, the woman
under arrest confessed, though she
now denies the killing.
There were no witnesses. Jim Os-
borne was found dying in the back
yard of No 81 Perry lane, east of Ran
dolph street. The only wound on him
was a small stab over the left eye.
He had been quarreling with Fannie
Hamilton shortly before his death. The
woman had a hatpin in a straw hat
that she was wearing that may have
produced the wound
She confessed to Detectives Murphy
and Wall that she did jab the man
with the pin, although she said she
had no intention of killing him. She
now denies having made this state
ment.

SPEEDWAY LETTER WAS
TO CITY COUNCIL
Mayor Says Communication Was Not
Addressed to Him.

Addressed to Him.
Mayor Myers says the request that
a committee be appointed from the city
to take w the speedway matter with
the Chamber of Commerce, and the
county officials was addressed to the
Mayor and Aldermen, and that there
fore. he did not appoint any commit
tee to meet Thursday afternoon as was
suggested.
The communication will be turned
over to Council at it's meeting Wednes-
day night and a committee will then
be appointed in all probability. This
fact accounts for the failure of a rep
resentative of the city being present
at the meeting Thursday afternoon.
The Mayor says he did not feel like he
could act for Courcil. He will have
the letter presented at the next meet
ing, however.
