HOW TO GET RICH.
Lesson 3. Chnpter 2.

Two or three lessons on How to Get
Rich" was all that was intended when
the series began. but so much is to be
said about real estate in Savannah that
the subject has grown, and it will re-
quire several more before the interest
ing topic is fully elucidated. @,
Practical illustrations showing what
another man has done upon the same
lines is an effective way of impressing
upon the mind of another man what
he may do.
Some years since a young business
man was walking up. or down, a street,
and met an older man. The younger
mans face had look of perplexty. The
party whom he met said: John what's
the trouble, you look as though you, are
either short of money, or have more
than you can use in your business"
The younger man replied, II am bet
ter off than ever before in my life; out
of debt and with a thousand dollars In
bank" We'll. If being out of debt
worries you, you had better go in debt.
Buy something and get rid of your
cash." So the younger man sought
a real estate man, and inquired what
he had for sale. He was told that there
were four nice lots which could be
bought for $500 each.
The would-be purchaser thought the
price very steep, but after haggling
awhile, bought the four lots at the price
asked and paid his $1,000, on account,
giving notes at six, twelve and eighteen
months for the unpaid balance. He
met his obligations as they became
due from the profits derived from his
business. He held the lots for ten
years. and then sold them for an aver
age of $1,000 apiece. He says The is
still here) that out of the $4,000, he
received for the property $4,000 was
clear profit, as he would not have
saved the other $1,400. that he gave
notes for and afterwards paid, had he
not run in debit
OF course 1t is folly to run in debt
unless you see where the money to
pay your indebtedness is coming from.
but If you see a way TO make money
by mourning debt it is just as great
a folly not to take the chance.
Real estate is not like other riches,
which sometimes take wings and ay
away" You can never make a total
loss, or worse than total loss. like
those who invest 90 in cotton futures
and other purchases on margins. A
lot on Thirty-ninth street, east, may
be a nest egg to a future fortune In
real estate. II you don't like Thirty
ninth street, buy a lot somewhere.
Don't fail to own little piece of this

Charged with Beating Two Women,

1t required the combined strength OF
a couple of uniformed men and con-
stable or two. to subdue a drunken
negro in the office of Justice Sheftall

however, the belligerent, in the person
of Jerry Miller. had beaten, or bad
ly frightened. two women of his own
color, and then knocked out a tooth
or two of an unknown white man who
endeavored to assist in quieting the
neighborhood.
The women were Ida Daniels and
Emma Thomas, living at No. 223 Bryan
street. two doors from the magistrate 8
recently opened office. Their screams
attracted attention, and a crowd as
we'll. They rushed into Justice Shelf
tails Office for the purpose of having
warrants issued and we're followed by
Miller.
Miller was one too many for the
constabies, and the uniformed men had
to assist in Handwriting him. 1t was
after he had been securely cuffed that
the drunken negro got in his blow
on the white man. The cuffs land
ed solidly on his teeth, and something
gave way. Then Miller was over
powered and thrown into a street wag-
on, and carted to the county jail,
where he was permitted to fret and
fume in cell to himself. The per-
Torrance attracted large crowd.

WANT AUT0-DRIVERS TO

Petitions TO City and County Au.
thOrities Being Circulated.

thor1t1eS Be1ng Circulated.
Mayor Myers, and the Councy Com
n1issioners, will receive communications
which call for rights for pedestrians.
An auto is looked down upon-by
those who do not own one. There are
quite a number of Savannahians who
have never even been inside an auto
mobile, although not a few of them
have been nearly underneath one or
two.
A number of people who have al
most had their breath taken away,
and who have been expecting to eX-
perience the same sensation almost
daily, are circulating petitions asking
that the speed of autos be regulated.
1t is true that the Mayor has rid
den in an auto: that the Chairman OF
Council owns one: that the superin-
tendent of police has taken more than
one spin; that the solicitor general
has a machine of his own. and that
the county contingent uses them, but
it is equally as true that there are a
great many horses and buggies, and
this combination is not on speaking
terms with autos.
The petition to the Mayor calling his
attention to the city ordinance. regu-
lating the speed of automobiles within
the city limits, has been extensively
signed and will be presented. The
petition to the County Commissioners
will not have so many signatures, be-
cause there are not so many pedes-
TRANS on the county roads.

Fifty dozen pairs of socks, that had

morning near the Central tracks in a
ditch, some distance from the city.

dozen socks in il had been stolen, but
only about half that many were re-
covered, The socks were wet and were
spread out on the grass in the yard at

had been shipped from the Bibb Man

firm in Pennsylvania. They were sent
to Savannah and were to have been
forwarded from here by steamer. The

A NUT To CRACK
FOR COMMITTEE
CITY HALL TROUBLES ON.
FIRST QUESTION OF LOCAL VERSUS
OUT-oF-ToWN FIRMS.

Atlanta Concern Jumps in and Offers
to Do Plumbing in New Building
for 81 400 Less Than Home Firms.
And Now Council Committee Is
slightly in the Air-SpeciaI Meet
ing Has Been Called TO Consider
the Problem.
The first of the many questions that
win probably arise in regard to the
construction of the new City Hall will
bs presented TO the Special Building
COuunittee at a meeting 10 be held to-
day at 1890 o'clock.
An out-of-town firm has underbad the
Savannah firm on the plumbing for
the building, it is understood, and the
question Of local versus out-of- town
labor arises
The committee, of course, favors the
loca. firms, if the work can be done as
reasonably by them, but in one in
stance an Atlanta firm has underbid
The Savannah firm $1,000, in a $4,000
contract. This special case will be
taken up by the committee at the
meeting.
savannah Firms Favored.
When the contract was awarded the
Savannah Contracting Company it
was verbally agreed that all sub-con-
tracts should be let to Savannah
firms. all things being equal
Mayor Myers has called the meet
ing OF the committee to determine
whether the contract shall be awarded
the out-of-town firm, or the local firm
for a 81 900 more. Besides the Mayor,
the committee consists OF Aldermen
Dixon. Davant, Thomas and Schroeder
If the prices were the same, the
committee would, of course, favor Civ
ing the contract to a Savannah firm
without question. one of the city off,
Gals said that it is hard that the Sa-
vannah firm permitted an out-of-town
firm to underbid them. The committee
strongly favors giving the contract to
a local firm. but the members do not
see how this can be done with such a
difference in price.
The contract is of course made by
the Savannah Contracting Company.
The company, however, agreed to
award all sub-contracts to Savannah
people, if everything was the same.
in this case. however, the city officials
do not feel like forcing the higher
contract on the company.
Unless there is some cut in price by
a local firm, the plumbing contract
will doubtless go to an Atlanta firm.
The work on the new hall will be-
gin early next week. 1t will be some
time before all the rubbish from. the
old Exchange is cleared away, but the
laying of the foundations will be start
ed on the eastern side before this work
IS completed.

terday gave the contracting firm all of
the lines of the new building.
