SETTLEMENT TIME MUST COME.
Provide Against the Day of Need.

What are you living for. anyway?
Working for? Planning for? THE
glory of God and the good of mankind"
it is to be hoped; but, in a less exalted
| sense, you are, if you have the natural
prudence of the human race, or even
the instinct of many animals, provid-
ing, to some extent, for the future. No
man, in his sober senses deliberately,
Intentionally and habitually spends all
his income with no thought of to-mor-
row, or of a rainy day, or coming re-
sponsibilities of wife and children, or
of sickness and old age, and six feet Ct
Gods green earth, somewhere. To ac-
cumulate resources against day OF
need is as natural for man as it is for
a squirrel to lay up nuts. How better
can you make this provision, provide
the savings for rainy day or for the
protection of your family, or for your
own old age, than by policy in The

1851, solid as a rock, safe as human
ingenuity can make any institution

they contain in black and white the

TO AWARD CONTRACT FOR
SACRED HEART CHURCH.
Contractors VIII BE Invited to Bid
on the Work This Week.

on the work This Week.
The contract for the erection of the
new church of the Sacred Heart on
Bull and Thirty-fourth streets will
probably be awarded sometime this
week.
At the same time the contract for
the rectory. and the Benedictine Col
lege buildings will also be awarded.
Work on the new buildings will COM
mence as soon as possible. and be
rushed through. 1t is expected that
the new buildings will be ready for
occupancy within a year, or little more.
Bids on the contract will be invited
tomorrow or Tuesday. 1t had been
first decided to advertise for bids in
the usual manner. but owing to the
fact that this would cause considera-
BILE delay and put off the commence
ment of the work for a month or so.
it was determined to invite several
contractors to bid on the work and
award the contract from these bids.
Complete plans and specifications
have been drawn up, and a copy of
these will be presented to each of the
contractors who are asked to make
bids. These plans were carefully gone
over by Architect Witcover some time
ago, and one or two minor changes
made where the original had not con-
formed to the requirements of the city
laws. These plans were submitted to
Rt. Rev. Bishop Haid during his last
visit to Savannah and were approved,
and the clergy in charge here author
ICED to 20 on with the work.
The new church when completed, will
be one of the handsomest in the city,
and among the finest religious ediiices
in the South. The finances have been
so ably managed that there is no like
lihood of the work being delayed on
this account.

TIP. A. WILL HELP TO
GET GEORGIA BUILDING.
Committee to Solicit subscriptions
Appointed by Post A.

Committee to Solicit Subscriptions
Appointed by Post A.
A regular meeting of Post A, T. P. A.
was held yesterday afternoon. The
chief matter to come before it was the
Endorsement of the plan of the state
board that each post of the Georgia
division, T. P. A. shall solicit from
its members subscriptions towards
erecting the Georgia building at the
St. Louis Exposition.
The post Endorsed the plan and ap-
pointed the following gentlemen a COM
mittee to secure the subscriptions:
Fred c. Wallace and Gus Witkowski,
on the lire of the Central road; c. E.
Vincent and A. ]. Epstein, on the line
of the Seaboard Air Line; r. Lee
Wylly and A. H. Brown, on the At
lantic Coast Line; NJ. E. Kirschbaum
and D. B. Lanier, on the Southern;
Max Krauss and L. Herzog for Florida
generally, and F. Neuberger and NJ. H.
Neuberger, for the East Coast of Flor
ida. C. ]. Herman was appointed for
the city. He will be assisted by others
to be named by President Hugo 1.
Frank later.
The subscriptions are to range from
so cents upward, and it is expected
that quite large sum, comparatively,
will be secured throughout the state.
Each post will solicit contributions
only from it's own members. These
amounts are to be sent to NJ. F. Meyer,
secretary and treasurer of Post A and
of the state organization.
In response to an inquiry to the Au-
gusta Post asking what time will be
most convenient to hold the state con-
Vention, reply was received stating
that any time between April Is and 25
will suit the Augusta men. The local
members of the order would like the
convention held a little sooner if pos
sible, as about April they start out
on their several territories. 1t is like
ly that the exact date of the conven-
ton will be settled shortly by the state
board. 1t was decided by Post A not
to elect delegates to the convention
until about thirty days before the con-
vention.

DEAL IN SAVANNAH
TRUST co. STOCK.
williams & MiddendOrf Holdings
RouRht NV Savannah Interests.

williams & MiddendOrf Holdings
Bought by Savannah Interests.
The holdings of Williams & Midden-
dorf in the Savannah Trust Company
amounting to over 1000 shares, were
sold yesterday to local interests,
some of which have not been hitherto
identified with the Trust Company.
The sale will bring practically all of
the stock of the company into Savan-
nah, and of course changes two of the
directors. According to a statement
of the brokers who made the sale, the
stock of the Trust Company has been
unduly depressed on account of this
large block of stock.
1t Is generally supposed that Will
liams & Middendorf put their holdings
on the market IN order to meet their
obligations. and the sale was made
through Demere & Hammond.
At the annual meeting of the Trust
Company, which will be held Tuesday
two new directors will be named to
succeed Messrs. Middendorf and VII
liams.
1t was learned last night that the
1000 shares and over were purchased
at par.

COLD WEATHER FOLLOWS
IN WAKE OF THE STORM.
Mercury viii Probably Drop to
Freezing Point Tonight.

Freezing Point Tonight.
a falling off in temperature is fol-
lowing in the wake of the storm which
passed over the eastern part of the
country Friday and Saturday. Mer-
curry yesterday began it's downward
course, falling slowly, but steadily. BY
tonight it will probably have reached
the freezing point.
The highest point reached yesterday
was 81 degrees, the record at 1 o'clock
in the morning. From that hour it fell
steadily and the minimum was record
ed at o'clock last night, so degrees.
This made the average temperature for
the daY Sc degrees. an excess of 4
degrees.
The rain. which had apparently
ceased at 10 o'clock Friday night, be-
gan falling again shortly after 2 clock
yesterday morning. and continued un-
til nearly daybreak. The total amount
which fell between o'clock Friday
night and o'clock Yesterday morning
was OF inches. This made the total
rainfall 2.15 inches. The rainfall was
equally heavy throughout the entire
state. In tweuty-four hours the river
at Augusta rose four feet, five inches,
sufficient indication of the heavy rains
in that section.

ALL RECORDS BROKEN FOR
WEEK OF REGISTRATION.
During Five Days 676 Voters Quail
fed for Coming Elections.

All previous records for the number
of voters registered in five days were
broken during the last week, 676 voters
qualifying for the elections that will
be held during the year.
The registration books opened Mon
day morning, and were closed on Tues
day on account of the observance Of
Lees birthday. The daily average
during the five days was 1876 Is, which
is far above any previous record. IN
der the present system Of registration
nearly twice this number of voters can
be registered in a week.
The heavy registration during the
week is partly the effect of the efforts
being made by the political clubs to
get every available man ready to APP
pear at the polls when the time comes
for primaries. AS has already been
stated a significant fact that there will
be opposition in the coming primaries
for county officers is in that only one
political representative has attended
the daily registrations keeping a rec
ord of the men who qualify s voters.
