ENDORSES FIRE CRACKER
SCHEME FOR OTHERS
But Presence of six Boys Forbids
Savannah Chief Trying it Himself,

But Presence of six BOxs Forbids
Savannah Chief Trying it Himself.
That scheme of Chief Horizons. of
Baltimore, to put fire crackers all
about his house so that they will act
an an alarm in case of fire is an ex-
cellent one said Fire Chief Mcguire
yesterday. IT approve of it heartily
that is, l approve of it for Chief Hor-
ton. 1t would never to for me. 1
have six boys at my house. 1t would
never do with them. Every day would
be Christmas, if I should try any such
game, as long as they are around.
Seriously. though" added the chief.
THE scheme is really an excellent one
and I recommend it for general use,
except where there are small children
in the family. I do not think it would
work we'll then. At least l should be
afraid to risk it with mine. But where
there are no children it would really
be a good thing"
Chief Horton, says Fire Chief Ma
guire, is a good fire-fighter and knows
what he is talking about when he ad-
vocates the crackers. The Baltimore
chief achieved considerable notoriety
by advocating the idea. His scheme is
simply to place fire crackers, large
ones, so that they may be heard some
distance, all about in his house, in
closets, under the stairs, in the attic
and everywhere. In case of fire the
crackers will explode and give the
alarm. 1t certainly sounds like
good idea, except, as Chief Mcguire
says, where there are six boys in the
house. The temptation to young
America would probably be too great.

BILL FOR NEW TERM
OF SUPERIOR COURT
I VIII Be Introduced in state Senate
Tomorrow.

7 VIII BE Introduced in state Senate
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow the bill providing for the
establishment of new term of the
Superior Court in Chatham county,
commencing the first Monday in Oc-
tober, will be introduced in the Senate
The bill was handed to Mai. j. Ferris
cam yesterday upon his return from
Atlanta, with the request that he use
ms e1orts to rush it through during
the present session.
Owing TO the fact that the House
is now on the appropriation bill, Maj.
Cam will arrange to have the bill
introduced in the Senate It will have
us frst reading tomorrow, it's second
tuesday, and its third and last Wednes-
day. 1t will be sent at once to the
house, and have its three readings
thursday, Friday and Saturday, thus
having the much needed additional
term established by the end of this
week The bill is modelled exactly on
the law establishing an extra term in
Richmond county.
There has been considerable discus
sion as to why the bill providing for
thes raising of Judge Norwood's salary
was not presented as a part of the
bill that provided for the raising of the
salary of Judge Cam. When asked
about this matter yesterday, Mai.
Cam said:
THE bill providing for an increase
in the salary of the judge of the Su-
perior Court of Chatham county was
general law with a local application.
That providing for an increase in the
salary OF the judge of the City Court
OF savannah was an amendment to the
law establishing the court. AS a re-
suit, the two bills were considered
separately"
There are but eleven days yet remain
ing 10 the summer session of the Leg
lsfature, and there are still a number
OF matters of considerable importance
TO be disposed. Savannahians, espec-
tally the members of the bar, will be
especially interested in the fate of the
bill providing for the establishment of
the October term of the court. There
seems to be little doubt but that the
bill will pass.

morning passed an order reopening the
judgments of Sept 4, 1903. and Sept
II. 1903, in the case of E. B. Drought,
against Anna c. Woodbridge and 9TH

and there are many sides to it. The

Anna c. Woodbridge and Jordan F.
Brooks, administrator of the estate of
Florence A. Bryan, and the Fidelity
and Deposit Company of Maryland.
The case was heard in the City Court
and a judgment against Anna Wood
bridge obtained. The attorneys then
carried the question to the Supreme
Court, and the judgment of the lower
court was affirmed. Then came a Sec
ond issue on a punishment.
Col Jordan F. Brooks, guardian and
administrator of the estate of Florence
A. Bryan, as garnishee, being indebt-
ed to Anna Woodbridge or her as
signee, c. A. Poage in the sum of $4,-

Aug. / is the time limit given renters
to notify landlords of their intention
to renew their leases on Oct. 1. Those
who do not give this notification, if
it is called for in the lease, by that

BY the consensus of opinion among
the renting agents, nearly every de-

will be taken before Oct. 1. In fact,
the number still unrented for the COM

AS an evidence of the scarcity of
dwelling houses in every part of the
city can be seen buildings of the kind

up, while in other parts of the city
more moderate residences are being

Don't Decide
Off Hand

before you place that order for
your automobile. The automo-
bile market is a jungle where
you are liable to get lost or
swamped-and sure to get bit
unless you know someone to
point out the way for you.
Then you'd better ask twice
before you lose your way. Ask
somebody that knows some
thing about automobiles before
you start and you won't have
to start all over again.
The somebody that knows all
about automobiles will very
quickly tell you that the Ford
is the only car you can afford
to buy. You simply can't af-
ford to take any chances where
safety to person and property
is concerned or where freedom
from accidents and uninterrupt-
ed service is desired.
There is a secret about the
Ford car and the man who dis
covers the secret is a gamer.
Part of the secret is the chow"
it is made; Henry Ford paid
for that and he is the gamer.
The other part you can easily
discover by giving it trial,
and you will be the gamer. If
this advertisement was a yard
long instead of seventeen
inches, we could give you a
whole yard of real evidence
the kind that comes from those
who know the great value of
the double-opposed Ford motor
car because they have tried it.
Every person who has given
the Ford a good trial is not
only pleased, but is highly graf
flied with it, and that is why
the Ford car sells-it always
makes GOOD.

Ford is the car which worries

it all the time. Just bear in
mind that all the world knocks
a knocker and that he that
knocketh shall himself be
knocked, and with much
heavier hammer shall he be

 Why does popcorn pop? The department of agriculture an. swers the question, which was rropounded to it by a small hoy. Popcorn pops bv reason of the volatilization of the oil contained in the kernel by heat. Field corn does not pop hecause the outer portion of the kernel is more DOT ons, permitting the escape of the oil as it volatilizes. while in the case of popcorn great pressure is developed in the kernel hv the confined oil and the kernel is sud- denly exploded and turned wrong side out. It is very considerate of the agricultural department thus to gratifv a little hoy's thirst for useful knowledge. 1t pleases the little boys and .en. lightens bigger ones. Ex.
