WORK ON WEST BROAD
HAS BEEN STARTED.
Curling Being Moved Back for
Grass Plat Scheme.

Curbins Being Moved Back for
Grass Plat Scheme.
The work of moving back the curb
ing on that portion of West Broad
street where the green is to be put
was started yesterday.
Though the matter has not yet gone
to Council it has been definitely de-
cided, and will be brought up at the
next meeting. Meanwhile the prep
arations for the work are going on.
West Broad street will be one Of
the prettiest thoroughfares in the city
when the green becomes a reality. In
order. to make the green of sufficient
width to accommodate the double car
tracks, and at the same time leave
a driveway on either side of ample
dimensions, it has been found neces-
sary to move back the curbing on
either side of the street a few feet.
The sidewalks on this part of the
street are very wide and the few feet
can easily be spared. The moving
of the curbing will necessitate the NOV
ing of a number of poles, and arrange
ments for this work have already been
made.
A. the next session of Council an
ordinance amending the original West
Broad street paving ordinance will be
introduced.

ANNUAL REGATTA
To Be HELD JUNE |
CAROLINA YACHT CLUB
INVITED TO TAKE PART BY EN-
TERING SEVERAL OF ITS BOATS.

These Will Either Compete for the
Prizes Provided for Them-Special
Race to Be Arranged for Numbe r
of Boats All of Same Design.
ThundePbOlt Course viii BE Used,
Guests of Club Will Follow Races
on Steamer Clifton.
The Savannah Yacht Club will give
it's annual regatta June /.
This was decided at a meeting of
the Regatta Committee, of which Mr..
c. c. Martin is chairman, and the
Sailing Committee, of which Mr.. E.
S. Stoddard is chairman, held at the
Yacht Club yesterday afternoon.
There is more than the usual amount
Of interest manifested in the event
this year with the consequent out
look that the number of entries in all
classes will be unusually large.
The Carolina Yacht Club has been
invited to take part in the regatta and
as the Charlestonians are enthusiastic
yaehtsmen, and have a number of ex-
NNAAC4LN DCeitSy II ID pIODdDIS that The
invitation will be accepted by a num-
Der of the members of the club, and
that the fleet that takes part in the
regatta will. in consequence, be a very
large one.
The usual prizes will be offered for
the boats representing the Savannah
Yacht Club and, in addition a silver
cup offered by Mr.. Louis Alcina. The
Charleston boats will be eligible either
to compete for these prizes, or else
special prizes will be provided for
them. The course of the races will
be the one generally used. known
as the Thunderbolt Course.
In addition to the regular number
of classes in which the various entries
will be divided a race is to be arrang-
ed for some five or six special boats
of similar design, a number of which
have recently been secured by several
members of the club. This race will
be of more than usual interest as
showing not the superiority of one
boat over another but the seamanship
of the shippers.
It was decided that the guests of
the club will be taken over the course
in the steamer Clifton, which will be
secured for the occasion. The other
details of the regatta have not yet
been settled, but will be shortly, a
special meeting of those interested
having been called for May to ar
range final plans.

INTEREST CENTERED
IN JUST TWO RACES.
Savannah Was Anxious on Congress
siOnaI and Senatorial Fights.


Those who ara in charge of Savan-
nah's politics were gratified last night
when the belated returns showed that
Col. Lester had been reelected to Con-
gress. and that John E. Foy had de-
feated Col. Morgan Rawls for senator
from the first district.
Savannah was deeply interested in
both fi%hts. Interest in the elections
50 far as Savannah was concerned, was
centered in the races for Congress, and
for the State Senate. Savannah and
Chatham county were Overwhelmingly
for Col. Lester for Congress, and for
MIR. Foy for the Senate, although the
senator was not voted for in this
county.
In the senatorial race, the fight was
particularly close and it was not un-
til a late hour that Col. Rawls, Mr.
Foys opponent gave up the fight. He
then admitted that he had been defeat
ed.
Beginning early in the afternoon and
lasting until late hour. both tele-
phones in the Morning News local
rooms were kept busy by persons wish
ing to find out about the election. Ev-
cry one wanted to know about the
two races in which Savannah was par
ticularly interested.
Because of the recent action at a
caucus of the Citizens Club here when
bingham county, was put on notice
that the selection of Col. Rawls would
be fought in the convention, the in
terest in this race was as great as it
would have been if the voting had
taken place in this county. The fight
will not be carried into the senatorial
convention now. as would have been
the case if Col. Rawls had been elected
by bingham. Chatham county was
practically solid for Foy and his cleo
ton was gratifying news to the local
politicians.

Lots at $3.50 "a Month.

Thirty-second, Thirty-third, Thirty
fourth streets, between Price and East
Broad. Chatham Real Estate and I'm
provement Company.
So as to get this property into the
hands of people who in the future
may become borrowers from us to
build homes for themselves, we are
offering the remarkably easy terms of
$40 cash and $3.50 a month on each
lot, with privilege to pay more at
any time, interest ceasing on pay
ments as made. The interest charged
is per cent, which means if you
pay in regular monthly installments
the total interest will be 50 so on each
hundred dollars for each year, the con-
tract runs. Almost nothing
1t is not always possible for the first
home man builds to be as good as
he would like to have, but If he will
start with an humble home and pay
for it with the money he wastes in
rent, when he has paid for it we are
always glad to help him get a better
one, and before many years have
elapsed he can be the owner of a
more valuable piece of property than
he would ever have been able to have
lived in had he continued a renter.
Therefore select one of these lots and
make your beginning. When you
have paid in to us as much as one
or two hundred dollars, we
will lend you the money to
build, and the chances are you
can pay for a better house than you
are renting now, for as little money
as you pay rent, and be it's possessor
in a reasonable time, thus providing
for your old age a home, or something
that brings you money on which to
live. Apply to F. w. Garden, sec
rotary and treasurer, or John L. Ar
cher, real estate dealer.-ad.

WOULD-BE WRECKER
WAS FOUND GUILTY.
Attempted to DerniI A. c. L. Train
No. p Last December.

No. II Last December.
George Washington, the negro who
attempted to wreck Atlantic Coast
Line train No. q, on the night of Dec.
6. 1903, at a place in Hilliard county
Fla, was tried this week at Fernan-
dina, and found guilty without any
recommendation The negro was en-
ployed to haul ties to the railroad
His effort to wreck the train was
made by putting two ties across the
track
Special officer Gus Godbold of the
Atlantic Coast Line, went to the scene,
and the day following the attempted
wreck had the negro in custody and
secured a confession from him, though
at his trial Washington denied this
confession, and plead not guilty. He
is a desperate man, as was shown not
only in his attempt to cut Charles
Maddox, one of the officers who ar
rested him, but also in two efforts that
he made to escape during his trial
The first of these was made while the
jury was out of the court room con-
sidering it's verdict. The judge ordered
the prisoner taken to the Jail and on
the way there Washington made an
other attempt to break away from the
officers. They had to use their clubs to
force his submission.
Prior to his trial Washington had
been at large, having been released
from custody under bond. He is charg-
ed with having set fire to the fence
of one of his neighbors only a week
before his trial. In the trial the de-
fence was represented by Col. Davis
of Jacksonville, while the prosecution
was represented by Col. John r. Hart
ridge, of general counsel for the At
lantic Coast Line. Jacksonville and
Mr. G. Hartridge, solicitor general of
the circuit in which the Fernandina
court is located. The jury was out but
four minutes.

HOW TO GET RICH.


In less than thirty years that part of
Savannah south of CASTOR street, the
city's biggest and best section, with the
exception of dozen houses, has been
built up. South and and east of the
park was a cypress swamp, and south
and west of it was barren waste. One
could stand where the Georgia Histor-
ical building has since been built and
see the distant gates of Laurel Grove
Cemetery. 1t was as bare and barren
as it was on that fatal October day in
1879 when Count Pulaski's Polish
squadron charged the British lines
about Savannah!
Look at this vast area to-day with
it's thousands of houses! Land that was
then very dear at an average of $1,000
an acre is very cheap to-day at an av-
erage of $1,000 for lots ten or twelve
to an acre! All this is true, but it
is so astounding that exclamation
points must be used instead of periods!
The dear reader" may ask, What
if this statement is true? What have
l to do with it; was not here thirty
years ago!" But my dear reader"
that is just the reason why you are
interested if you had been here thirty
years ago, and were half as smart as
many men think they are (Which, by
the way, they are not), you would
now be enjoying that dolce far
niente" referred to in previous chap
ter, by reason of the profits accruing
from this great growth of the city.
However, you were not here, and had
no chance to make your fortune and
it is, therefore, more necessary that
you should take advantage of next
great spreading out of Savannah, by
making an investment while real es-
tate is cheap. Thirty-ninth street,
east, is far out, so you think, but
CASTOR street was just as far away
for all purposes, thirty years ago. A
lot on Thfrry-ninth street, east, or a
low priced lot anywhere on the line on
which the city is moving. is what is
necessary to cure you of that tired
feeling" which sometimes comes over
you. If you can see your way to do
it. that is, If you can see where the
money is coming from to pay for it.
buy a lot or block of lots somewhere.
Such an investment will teach you les
sons in economy and frugality, and
make a happier man Of you. Buy a
lot on Thirty-ninth street, east, if you
will, but, anyhow, buy lot!-ad.

PARKER BUTTONS ARE
WORN IN SAVANNAH.
First Presidential Campaign But
tons Have Appeared.

Campaign buttons bearing the pic
ture of Judge Alton B. Parker made
their appearance in Savannah for the
first time last night. The buttons
were worn by New York travelling
men.
A poll was made of seven men who
were discussing the national political
situation in the lobby of the hotel at
which the men are guests, and it was
found that five out of the seven fav-
ored the nomination of Judge Parker,
while only one man confessed that he
was in favor of the nomination of
Congressman William r. Hearst. The
seventh man in the group was Re-
publican but declared that of all the
Democratic candidates discussed, he
would favor the nomination of Grover
Cleveland.
