MUST CUT PRICES
OR LOSE TRADE
FIGHT FOR A DISCOUNT.
WILL re MADE By FIRE COMMIT
TEE ON FEED CONTRACTS.

Unless Feed Can BE Purchased for
Fire Department at Same Prices
Quoted Streets and Lanes Depart
ment, Which Uses Much Larger
Quantities, Fire Committee
Threatens to Buy Elsewhere.
At a meeting of the Fire Committee
of City Council yesterday it was de-
cided that the feed which is sold to the
fire department must be at prices as
low as are made the streets and lanes
department, which uses a great deal
more feed.
This action was taken by the COM
mittee at a meeting held at fire head
quarters. The members of the COM
mittee had just been on a tour of in
spection of all the fire stations in the
city. The inspection was for the pur-
pose of familiarizing the members of
the committee with the workings of the
department. The committee was
pleased with the inspection. The floors
in several of the engine houses, though,
were found to be very badly worn and
new ones will be put in at an early
date. After the inspection the commit
tee met at headquarters to consider
several matters, the feed question be-
ing the most important.
Would Buy Elsewhere.
Alderman F. M. Oliver, the chairman
of the committee, said on this, 1T was
decided to continue the purchase of
feed for the department in the city if
we can obtain it at the same prices
given the Sfrnofc nd
If not, we will buy elsewhere. All the
members of the committee were present
except Alderman McKenna and all ia
vored this PLAN"
Mr.. Oliver said that in making prices
to the city, one department should be
given as low prices as another. He
said the orders from all the depart
ments come from the city and this
should be considered by the feed men
in making prices. The city, in other
words, should be considered as a unit
and not as different departments. Mr.
Oliver therefore wants one price made
to the city and not different price for
each department. The streets and
lanes department gets a percentage
off the market price because of the
large order, and Mr.. Oliver and his
committee want this same percentage
taken off the fire department orders.
Has Been Investigating.
The streets and lanes department
has for some time been getting feed at
lower prices than either the fire or the
police departments. Mr.. oliver has
been looking into the feed matter for
some little while, and he is going to
make a determined fight to get the feed
for his department at a lower rate.
The police department may also join
the movement
The department rule requiring fire
men, when i'll, to present a certificate
from a city physician in order to get
thelr pay, was changed so that the GER
tlhcate of any physician will be accept
ed. Some of the f1remen prefer their
own physicians and in some cases the
city physicians cannot be secured, Mr..
Oliver says.

CONVINCE IL LAWYERS
BIBLE is INSPIRED.
Rev. MIR. Mcconnell Said He Could
Do This with Argument.


Do This with Argument.
would you dare charge God with
being saloonkeeper because he per-
mits saloons to exist in Savannah ?"
asked Rev. Lincoln Mcconnell at Trim
ity Methodist Church last night.
Mr.. Mcconnell took his text from
Revelations, 1920. Behold, 1 stand at
the door and knock; if any man hear
My voice, and open the door, 1 will
come in to him and will sup with him
and he with Me-"
His sermon was devoted principally
to those who will not accept the word
of God because they cannot under
stand the teachings of the Bible. Mr..
Mcconnell said he could take any
twelve lawyers in Savannah and put
them in a jury box, and convince them
from legal standpoint in a two-hours'
argument, that the Bible was certain
ly the inspired work of God.
Too many people, he declared, want
ed to stand back and let God save
them without any effort whatever on
their part. He said there are many
people in Savannah who display their
ignorance by trying to discredit the
word of God, because their narrow
brains cannot comprehend His teach
ings. "These little bullet heads do not
believe in the Bible because they have
not got sense enough to understand
the teachings of the book, and have
no desire to set themselves right"

BOTH PRIMARIES
ON SAME DAY.
Chairman Lawrence Says County
Primary Will Be Held April 20.

Mr.. w. w. Osborne and Mr.. A. A.
from Atlanta, where they attended the
meeting of the State Democratic Exec
utive Committee. Both were very
much pleased with the meeting and
with the fixing of an early date for
the primary.
Mr.. Lawrence, the chairman of the
Chatham County Executive Committee,
said he would call that body together
as soon as he could consult with some
of the members. The county commit
tee will meet within the next ten days.
Mr.. Lawrence believes the county
committee will select April 20, the date
of the state primary. for the county
primary also. 1t was announced IN
the Morning News, yesterday that TINS
date would be chosen whenever the
committee met. There is no need, Mr..
Lawrence says, of having two prl-
maries.
THE meeting was a most enjoyable
one" said Mr.. Lawrence. after the
business session we were delightfully."-
entertained. Besides the date for the
primary. rules governing it were adopt
ed. One important change in the rules
authorizes candidates. where there is
a contest, to request the county COM
mittee to appoint the election man
ayers ten days before the primary, and
to give representation to each of the
respective candidates. This is to pre-
vent managers from being all for one
side. as was practically the case here
in 1900.
1.-THE registration lists for 1908 and
1904 are both to be allowed in the pri-
mary. The state house officials were
each assessed $50 in lieu of all other
assessments. The names of all can
didates must appear on the tickets,
including state house officials, judges
and solicitors.
when a voter is challenged, if he
afterwards qualities, his vote is to be
counted unless there is a protest. If
a protest is filed the county commit
tee must decide the matter. An APP
peal may then be taken from the
county to the state committee, II filed
within three days.
1.-THE only contest during the meet
ing of the committee was upon the day
of the week that the primary should
be held
"a resolution was offered by Mr..
Newton Morris, holding the proxy of
Mr.. r. M. Hitch, fixing the primary
on Saturday The point was made
that this would disfranchise a large
percentage of the Jewish vote. The
resolution was voted down by an over
whelming majority. The orthodox
Jews in Savannah were very much
exercised when they learned that Mr..
Morris fought for a measure that
would have meant their disfranchise-
ment."
