A BEAUTIFUL STORE
Stevenson Brothers Company Begin
 ming to Occupy New Building


 Stevenson Brothers Company have opened their hardware department in their new building, and for two weeks they will be gradually getting other lines in place. There only remains now the making of few more counters and the painting of small part of the fix lures to finish what is one of the finest store buildings in Southern California. The building is 50xlOO feet, one story high, but with walls designed to support another story. There is a basement 25x5O feet, which makes a cool ware house for the storage of canned goods and other articles subject to injury by summer heat, which gives the store total floor space of 625O square feet. It is an equipment with very few equals in city or country in all Southern Califor mia.
 The shelves are placed to divide the room into four departments, each rum ming the full length of the building.
  goods, facing them, through the middle of the room, will be clothing and shoes, and backed against the clothing shelves will be the grocery department, facing north, while on the north wall is ranged the hardware department. This gives two wide aisles running the full length of the building and giving room for placing additional displays of goods, as occasion requires.
 The shelving is adjustable, resting on movable supports, like those commonly used in book cases, which will make it possible to reduce waste space to the minimum. The backs of the shelves are protected by wire screens to make it impossible for mice to work on them to their advantage.
 In the grocery department there IS a

TRACING" CASE IN THE
U. S. SUPREME COURT.
Carried There ON Account of a Car
of Damaged Grapes.

Carried There ON Account of a Car
of Damaged Grapes.
GAINESVILLE, Ga. Dec. 16.-Col. w.
w. Lambdin has gone to Washington.
where he will argue the case of A. o.
Murphey & Hunt, against the Central
of Georgia Railway Company, before
the Supreme Court of the United
States. The case involves the consti-
nationality of the Tracing act, passed
several years ago by the Georgia Leg
islature, and the decision will be of
interest to all the railroads and the
shippers of the state generally.
The plaintiffs shipped a carload of
grapes TO Omaha. Upon arrival at
the destination the grapes were found
to be in a damaged condition and were
rejected. The shippers called upon the
Central to trace the shipment and show
where the damage occurred, and upon
its failure to locate it the plaintiffs
brought suit to recover damage sus-
tanned.
The case has been tried twice in Pike
Superior Court. and twice by the Su-
preme Court of Georgia, the plaintiffs
winning in every trial of the case. The
railroad now carries it to the Supreme
Court of the United States, in an eff
fort to have the Georgia law declared
unconstitutional.

Number of Prominent Speakers ut
Last Nights Meeting-Mr. Cream
err Told of the Work the Club is
Doing.
The feature of the meeting of the
South Side Administration Club last
night was the speech by Mr. r. M.
Martin, who has Just returned from St.
Louis, where he had charge of the
Georgia exhibit at the Worlds Fair.
Mr.. Martin made a number of sug>
gestions in urging Improvement plans
for the South Side.
Il am more than pleased" said Mr..
Martin, TO be again in Savannah and
to be able to address the members of
the South Side Club. thought 1 ap-
preciated your organization when L

lieve the club will accomplish things
that 1 never before dreamed of. That
this club has the push and energy, 1
have no doubt. There are some points,
however, that 1 think 1 could aid the
club in"
The Park improvements.
Mr.. Martin dwelt at length upon the
Improvements that could be made for
the parks of the city. He referred to
the fact that in st. Louis there are
many small parks, which are fixed up
as nicely as the large ores. All parks,
he said, should receive the attention of
the city. There should be good arti-
fetal stone walks, convenient drinking
fountains and everything that the pub
lie really needs.
If all the members of the South Side
would pull together for the improve
ment of the section, he said. Forsyth
Park would have walk through the
extension and Thomas. and the other
parks would be improved.
Large Attendance at Meeting.
There was large attendance at the
meeting. No arrangements had been
made to bring up any special subject,
and everything mentioned was of an
informal nature. A rousing rally on
Dec. 30 was decided upon. At this
rally final preparations for the parade
on the night before the election will be
made.
There were quite a number of speak
ers last night. Following Mr.. Martin,
Mr.. l. U. Kinsey, Mr.. John F. Free
man, Mr.. ]. Robert Creamer, Mr.. Carl
Mendel, Mr.. H. E. Dreeson, Mr.. ]. Fred
Bernhard, Mr.. j. c. c. Bernhard and
Mr.. F. NJ. Cornwell were called upon.
Mr.. Creamer in his speech outlined
number of improvements that the
South Side is fighting for. Thirty
fifth street, he said, would be opened
during the coming year. The paving
of Thirty-first street to the Ogeechee
road was also advocated by Mr.
Creamer.
The improvements for the South Side
would come, Mr.. Creamer said, because
the members of the club worked for
them. All the notable improvements,
Mr.. Dreamer said, had come after the
South Side had advocated them. The
increase in the pay of the city cart
drivers had been advocated by the
South Side two years ago, Mr.. Dreamer
said.

WITH THE SECRET ORDERS.

On initiation nights Of the secret
orders, many amusing and ludicrous
incidents happen to enliven things. The
poor, trembling candidate who waits
in the little outside room, for the
would-be funmakers to call him in is
usually the victim of the jokes.
This has always been recognized as
the order in which limitations should
be conducted however. A timid candi-
date made a strenuous departure from
the regular order of things last night,
when one of the city lodges was hold
ing its session.
The candidate was left in the ante
room until the session of the lodge
had proceeded to the point where he
was to be called in to ride the proverb-
ial goat. He waited for awhile, but
evidently the cold, dark room worked
upon his nerves, for when the master
ordered the candidate, in thunderous
tones, to Enter" there was no reply.
Upon investigation it was discovered
he had disappeared. A search all over
the hall was made, but nowhere was he
visible. The joke, this time, was not
on the candidate.
AT the regular meeting of Savannah
Aerie No. $50, FraternaI Order of
Eagles, held last night, it was de-
cided to donate number of Christmas
baskets to the poor. A committee of
ten was appointed to make all arrange
ments for the intended donation.
The committee will ascertain about
$50 of the most needy families in the
city, and on the night before Christ
mas, each will receive a basket. The
baskets will contain Irish potatoes,
sweet potatoes, bananas, cabbages,
chicken or turkey, coffee, butter, sugar,
condensed milk, cans of fruit, cans of
vegetables and perhaps two or three
loaves of bread and pies. There were
about seventy-five members of the or
der present, and they voted on the
resolution to provide for the poor with
enthusiasm. The lodge is rapidly in
creasing its membership, and five or
six new members are initiated at every
meeting.
Grand Secretary Tyson, of the In
dependent Order of Odd Fellows has
received THE Journal of Proceedings"
of the Sovereign Grand Lodge, which
held its session in San Francisco
from Sept 10 to a. inclusive. The
journal pertains to all the proceedings
of the session. On the cover of the
journal is a cut of the building, known
as THE Seven Stars" in which the
first lodge in America was organized.
The first lodge was Washington No. l,
and was instituted on April 26, 1919,
THE Seven Stars building was ae-
stroyed in the Baltimore fire, on Feb.
