A 14-years-old California boy was
walking in the fields recently when a
swarm of bees lit on his arm. He did
not loose his head and try to brush
off, but walked to his home three miles
them off, but walked to his home three
miles away with them clinging to him.
He then put them in a hive and will
soon be a rich man.

SAVING OF LIFE AGAINST
THE INCONVENIENCE OF FEW
Mayor Myers Thus Describes the Gwinnett Street
Car Franchise

TT was a matter of saving human
of persons who can afford conveyances
and do not want the street cars in
front of their houses"
Mayor Myers made this statement in
speaking of the permission granted by
Council al the Wednesday night SEES
sion to the Savannah Electric Company
to lay a single track on Gwinnett street,
from Habersham to Abercorn.
1T was for the benefit of the masses
against the wishes of the fortunate
few. The grade crossings at Gwinnett
street and Bolton street have been a
menace to life long enough" the Mayor
said. when the subway takes the place
of The pres mt crossing on Gwinnett, AMI
the tracks are removed from Bolton
street. there must be some way pro-
vided for the cars to get to and from
the resorts.
THE Gwinnett street route is the di-
rect one, and l don't see why we should
force the car company to take people
in an indirect way. because the resi-
dents on these two blocks object to the
cars.
When people start out to the resorts
they do not care to be carried in a
roundabout way through the city The
route granted the company is for the
convenience of the thousands against
TIE annoyance of the residents on two
blocks.
And there will not be any annoy
anCe, either, after a little time. The
The Savannah morning news., 1904-05-27

line on Bolton street is not considered
a nuisance. For 4 week or two l grant,
the running of the cars by the houses
that have not heretofore had them may
be of slight annoyance. But the resi-
dents will soon get used to them. Why
should it be a nuisance on that street
any more than on any other in town
1T was no new question Council mad
before it. We had the same matter
before us two years ago, and it was
thoroughly gone into then A majority
of the aldermen on the board then are
members now, and are familiar with
the arguments presented.
Besides. we heard Mr.. Hardee and
he refreshed our memories on the argu-
ments that had been used before We
simply believed the company ought to
be given the right to lay tracks on that
portion of Gwinnett street, and we
gave them that right, after hearing
from both sides.
I'VE had to give the street car COM
pany a route that they might properly
handle the public and we gave them
the one that we believed would be for
the greatest convenience of the pub
lie. That is all there is to it. In dis
cussing the matter in caucus we
thought we were giving the company
very little for what they were agree
ing to do.
I'VE considered the matter thorough
ly in caucus, we had gone over it all
two years before. and we had Mr.. Har-
dee before us to present the matter
again. In the open Council meeting
there was nothing to do but to receive
the petition as informa ton. 1t has all
ready been duly considered, and we
had heard from the gentleman who
presented it,"
The Savannah morning news., 1904-05-27

fence to residents of all other sec
lions.
Il desire to make the definite and
positive statement that the Savannah
Electric Company placed no poles, ties,
rails or other material on Gwinnett
street between Habersham and Aber-
corn during the meeting of Council, or
at any other time during the night
although it had a perfect legal right
TO do so, had it seen fit.
The work of laying this track was
not started at o'clock in the MORN
ing, but was started at about the
usual time when our track hands be-
gin their days work, and until that
time not a particle of material of any
kind had been placed in this street,
nor had a single shovel full of dirt
been moved.
Bolton street Very Narrow.
"Gwinnett street is one of the broad
est streets in the city and a single track
running through the center can in no
way Inconvenience or damage any OF
the residents. while on the contrary,
Bolton street is one of the narrowest
| streets. so that as far as the residents
| of that section of the city are concern
ed the removal of the track from Boil
ton to Gwinnett street is a matter of
| great benefit instead of injury.
ut seems to be a fact. however. that
human nature is so constituted that
many people object to any change of
any kind whatsoever. and while some
people are Directing to the installation
of the track on Gwinnett street, some
of the residents of Bolton street are
actually objecting to the removal of
the track from their street, on the
ground that it is a public convenience,
and they don't want it disturbed.
81 EinNnTA1V that the resident 9
of Gwinnett street will come in time
to take this view of the case, and will
feel that they have been very greatly
benefited instead of being injured"

Tuskegee, Ala, May 26.-The twenty
third anniversary exercises of the Tus-
kegee Normal and Industrial College,
which began with the commencement
sermon by Bishop c. ]. Galloway last
Sunday, were concluded here to-day
with the dedication of Douglass Hall,
a girls dormitory costing $4,000, and
named in memory of Frederick Doug
lass. The dedicatory address was de-
livered by Maj. Charles r. Douglass
of Washington, d. c., a son of Fred
Douglass, who said in part:
"Once firmly establish yourself in
the communities in which your lots
may be cast, in good homes, and APP
ply your talents and efforts to the
creation of things that are most in
demand, and you will soon forget that
there is anything left to be desired,
as all else will follow as a matter of
course. Keep before your minds and
emulate the virtues of the dominant
race. Try as best you can to live
down unjust laws enacted by short
sighted legislative bodies for your hui
initiation and create within yourselves
high standard of self-respect to
the end that all that is clearly our
just rights will be duly accorded US"

over four hours in which to work,

CITY ACTED ON THE SQUARE
PRESIDENT BALDWIN SAYS
Subway Scheme Depends Upon Right of Company
to Put Tracks on GWnnett Street

Following the strenuous events of
the day in the Gwinnett street subway
track-laying matter President George
terview last night:
II regret very much indeed to no.
tice the very personal and bitter
spirit which seems to be injected into
all of the articles published this even
ing.
They not only do the Savannah
Electric Company great injustice, but
the statements made are so incorrect
and so biased that l cannot refrain
from making a clean statement of the
actual facts of the case without go
ing into any argument on the sub
ject.
There has been absolutely no snap
Judgment of any kind taken by any
one. The residents of Gwinnett street
had personal notice long ago from me
of the necessity or the part of the
Savannah Electric Company to lay
this track, if the subway was built.
Several months ago 1 had a per-
sonal conference with two gentlemen
as a committee representing the resi-
dents of this section of Gwinnett street
for the purpose of arriving at an ar
rangement satisfactory to them l
showed them the map of the proposed
tracks to be laid in Gwinnett street
and all of the necessary alterations
of our tracks, which were consequent
upon the building of the Gwinnett
street subway, and showed them the
logical necessity of laying track on
this street, if the Gwinnett street sub
way was to be built, as otherwise we
could not properly handle the BUSH
ness of the railroad, and afford the
people of Savannah proper facilities
for travel. They apparently saw the
necessity, but simply left me, stating
that they intended to stop the work
If they could, and 1 discussed the mat
ter no further with them.
Came Up Two Years Ago.
Our company also made a petition
to Council two years ago FOR permits
sion to lay this track. This petition was
fully discussed at the time, and the
City Council gave it most thorough con-
sideration so that they were fully pre-
pared to act last night when the SUBJ
ject again came up before them, and
cannot In any way be accused of TAX
ing any hasty action which the resi-
dents Of Gwinnett street might consid-
er prejudicial to their interests.
The residents, therefore, had full no.
tice months ago OF the intention of the
company TO apply to Council for per-
mission to put this track in Gwinnett
street and as they were represented
at the Council meeting last night by
their attorney, NJ. Hardee, l presume
they presented all proper arguments.
1T Is not the wish of the company 10
cause any citizen any Inconvenience,
but on the eontrary we are working 20
accommodate and oblige the people Of
The city in every department OF our
business, and / sincerely trust that the
citizens Of Gwinnett street Will finally
appreciate the fact that the track now
laid in that street Is logical and nee
essary consequence, following great
