JUDGE CAM DECIDED
FOR THE PLAINTIFF.
Damages Had to BE Written on
Jury's Verdict, However.

Damages Had to BE Written of
Jury's Verdict, However.
In the Superior Court yesterday
Judge Cam rendered his decision on
the motion for new trial in the fam
Gus Mousseau-Mille case. Arguments
were heard some days ago.
The plaintiff in the fl ia was given
a verdict by the trial jury, and along
with 1T damages were allowed. Judge
Cam ruled that If the plaintiff would
write off the damag allowed, and let
the remainder of the verdict stand. he
would refuse to grant the defendants
a new trial.
1t was made a part of the ruling
that in the event the plaintiff failed
to write off the damages from the YER
dict returned by the trial jury a new
trial would be allowed the defendants.
The damages were written off by the
plaintiff and the case is settled unless
it finds its way to the Supreme Court
where it is pretty apt to go. The liti-
cation has been going on for a num-
Der of years, The plaintiff is repre-
sented by Adams & Adams.

SOUTH FAVORITE FIELD
FOR INVESTMENTS.
Republicans VIII Win with RoOse-
welt. Says Mr.. i. G. Haas.

Republicans VIII Win with ROOse-
welt. Says Mr.. /. G. Hans.
THE business men of the North
west consider the South the best sec
ton of the country in which to make
investments"
This statement was made yesterday
by Mr.. 1. G. Haas, formerly of Sa-
vannah. but now of Cleveland. Mr..
Haas is a close observer and he be-
lieves that the future Of the South is
brighter than ever before in its his
tory.
With Mrs. Haas he will leave Sa-
vannah to-day for Cuba, returning
here about Feb. %. Mr.. Haas ex
poets to combine business and pleas
ure on the trip. He says that BUSH
ness is in excellent condition, with
the possible exception of the iron and
allied industries. which are slightly de-
pressed.
The business men of the Northwest,
Mr.. Haas says. are putting money in
all sorts of enterprises located in this
section. Many of these men are ex-
tending their investments as far as
Mexico.
AS to the political outlook, Mr.. Haas
has no doubt that President Roosevelt
will receive the Republican nomination
and will be elected. There is a strong
sentiment in favor of Senator Hanna,
he says, and it is believed that his re-
fusal to consider the nomination is
another case of Caesar putting the
crown from him. Doubtless he could
have the nomination but for his i'll
health. There is no chance of defeat
ing the Republican party, according to
Mr.. Haas, whether the nominee be
Roosevelt or Hanna.

The Greatest Problem of Life,
How to BE Truly Happy.

The majority OF business men work
hard and take but little comfort dur
ing their lives, yet comparatively few
get rich. Where is the difference in
leaving your wealth-even if you get it,
and the chances are decidedly against
youth real estate, or bonds, or in cash
from life insurance policies? You may
have good business and enjoy a good
income; make its perpetuity sure to
your family after you are gone. In no
way can you do this more absolutely
certain than by an adequate amount
of the proper kind of life insurance.
The kind that will enable you to live
well, educate and enjoy yourself, graft
fly your higher faculties and have your
family do likewise. You may arrange
your life insurance so as to have it
mature when you reach 65 years, so
that at that time, if you live, you will
be comfortably fixed, and should you
die before then you will die rich any
way You might pinch and save and
stint your family all your life and then
die poor. leaving them uncared for. A
little thought will convince any one
that this solves the greatest problem
of life-how to be truly happy. Don't
worry about contingencies-they are all
provided for under the laws of Massa-
chusetts and the policy contracts Of the
Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance
Company. If misfortune comes, you
cannot lose penny, for you will have
returned to you every dollar that you
paid, except what it actually cost to
insure you. Remember also that de-
lays are dangerous. Write at once,
state your age and address, and COM
prehensive and interesting literature
will be sent you. Address Harry &
Apple, managers for Georgia and South
Carolina, III Bay street, east, Savan-

lRATE FATHER BERATED
STAGE-STRUCK DAUGHTER.
She Was Bent on Entering the
Ranks of the Player Folk.

us AbCAt On
Ranks of the Player Folk.
A stage struck girl and an irate faith
er who had serious objections to in
terpose to the aspirations of his daugh-
ter, furnished some excitement near
the theater yesterday during the pro-
gress of the matinee. The names of
the principals could not be secured, as
no report was made to the police.
The girl, 1t was stated, was stage
struck, and wanted to join the COM
pany that had been playing at the
theater during the week. Whether she
had been offered a place or not it did
not appear. but there were eye-wit-
nesses to the smart slaps that the irate
father administered on her cheeks
when he appeared on the scene and
ordered her to go home.
The girl was brave, and although
she cried a little she did not go home,
as her father supposed, but circled the
building out of his sight and was adj
mitted at the front door. She took
seat in the balcony and watched the
play with breathless interest. When
the curtain fell on the last act she
heaved a deep sigh and slowly walked
away.

DANGER FROM
FRUIT Feelings.

The injury to Mr.. J. j. Dale in front
Of the Germania Bank Friday is an
Illustration of the danger to pedestrians
occasioned by the throwing of fruit
Feelings on the sidewalks. MIR. Dale
slipped on an orange skin and sustain
ed injuries that are giving him much
pain.
There is a city ordinance prohibiting
the throwing of fruit peels on the
streets. but in spite of it, there is a
common practice Of throwing orange
and banana Feelings unfortunately
on the sidewalks and pavements where
they are a constant menace. An ar
rest by the police every time a viola
ton of the ordinance comes under their
observation would tend to lessen the
dangerous practice.

An Old Cold

Is chronic catarrh-the worst disease
known. Summer and winter. spring
and autumn, catarrh ceases not to af-
fiict large per cent. of the inhabi-
tants of this country. But it is es-
pecially during the winter season that
catarrh does it's most deadly work.
Every cold wave, every wintry bliz-
card, every storm of sleet, snow or
rain adds thousands to the annual list
of victims of chronic catarrh.
sPeruna used promptly to protect
against and cure colds is a safeguard
against all catarrhal diseases of win

Messrs. Salas and Pease appeared
before Judge Seabrook in the Superior
Court yesterday and argued the mo-
ton for new trial for their client,
Willie Calvin, who was sentenced to
death some time ago for the murder of

that the verdict of the last jury was
contrary to the charge of the court,
