A NEW BIT OF SLANG.

New York has new slang express
sion which the balance of the country
seems inclined to assimilate. The
new term of speech is based on the
noun lid and came into vogue as the
result of the last mayoralty campaign.
when an eminent divine predicted that
in the event of Tammary victorv
certain sections of the city known
locally as the "TenderIoin" would re-
semble the Internal region with the
lid oT." The saying was long ago ap-
piled to Pittsburs by John Burns, the
English labor leader, though in phys
zeal rather than q moral sense on &C
count of the numerous blast furnaces
in and about the Smokey City.
The pictureque expression, how
ever, spread through the metropolis
with the rapidity CT an entire novelty
Police Commissioner McAdOO gave t
renewed life some time ago by insist
ing that the "Tenderloin lid was
clamped down and would be kept So"
This was hint sufficient for the Bow
cry creator of slang, and the lid IS
now in good standing in the language
of Gotham. District Attorney JerOme's
rumored INVESTIGATION of the ship
building combination was heralded as
taking the lid off the trust" The
cabman who wishes to convey the idea
that his horses are fast says that the
animals have their speed lids off, A
fiighty New Yorker is now accused OF
having a "leaky lid" and the enter
prising merchant announces bargain
sale by saying that there is mo lid on
prices" Japan is said to have put
a lid upon" the Russian feet at Port
Arthur. Out West it might be re-
marked that Chief of Police Coffey has
lifted the lid off CT Sacramento, that
Reno was made without a lid. and
hat the. world viii never be what il
should till the undertaken puts a lid On
all the knockers and silurians in the
nation. The expression has as mucn
reasonableness and is quite as picture
sque as many another which has come
into general vogue, and we may eS-
pect to see the lid incorporated in o
the language of slang.

CONTEST FOR B0URQUIN
ESTATE WAS ENDED.
Jury Returned "A Verdict in Favor
of the Younger Brother.


In the case of Polignac Bourquin
VS.. Guillemain Bourquin, contest for
the possession of POI acres of land in
the Carmarthen tract, seven miles from
Savannah, on the Ogeechee canal, for
which the plaintiff claimed the title,
the jury brought in a verdict for the
plaintiff in the Superior Court yester-
day.
Though this is not the first time
contest over this same parcel of land
has been heard, it is the first time
there has been a contest between the
brothers, the former cases being a
contest between son and father, GU
gle Bourquin. The plaintiff claimed
that on June 10, 1880, the land was
conveyed to him by Gugie Bourquin,
administrator for Benedict Bourquin,
to w. H. Elliott in trust for the petit
toner, and that the deed was duly re-
corded.
The land, it was claimed, was con-
veyed in trust until the plaintiff in
the present suit should become of age,
and it was shown that he has since
attained his majority. An order was
signed by Judge Cam to the effect
THAT the land and all appurtenances
thereto should Immediately be deliver
ed to the younger brother in accord
ance with the verdict of the jury.

SMOKER WILL FOLLOW
ANNUAL MEETING.
Such Is the Present Plan of Chamber
of Commerce Celebration.

Such Is the Present Plan of Chamber
of Commerce Celebration.
The Chamber of Commerce celebra-
ton of the first anniversary of its or
ganization will not be banquet, as
was originally thought, but will take
the form of a smoker.
This was practically decided at the
meeting of the Entertainment Com
mittee yesterday, when a COM
mittee consisting of Mr.. Roy C. Fos-
ter, chairman of the Entertainment
Committee, Mr.. Adolph Letter, Mr.. B.
H. Levy and Capt. Harry Blum, was
appointed to perfect the arrangements.
The idea is to have the smoker fol-
low the annual meeting in the Chamber
of Commerce quarters. The entertain
ment will consist, as now planned, of
light refreshments, cigars, ETC., and it
is probable that some of the more
prominent members of the organza-
ton will be called on for addresses.
The members of the committee think
it will be an excellent plan to have the
annual report of President j. H. Estill
which will show the work that has all
ready been done by the chamber, fol-
lowed by few addresses that will
show how the work can be con-
tinued. Any plans that promise well
for the continued and even wider
spread interests of the organization
will be discussed.
The chief objection to having a BAN
quet is that in order to give one COM
mensurate with the dignity of the
Chamber of Commerce a price would
have to be charged for tickets that
would practically shut out a number
of the members, whereas by
giving an informal smoker ev-
cry member can attend without any
charge whatever. The plan is to
raise the funds needed for the affair
by subscriptions among the weather.

of those at the committee meeting
have already expressed a willingness

NORTH CAROLINA SOCIETY
TO PERFECT ORGANIZATION.
VIII Meet at the De Soto to Elect
OfHccrs.

VIII Meet at the De Soto to Elect
Officers.
The North Carolina Society will be
organized in the parlors of the De
Soto tomorrow night. Thirty-five or
forty native North Carolinians have
signed the call for the meeting. 1t is
expected that the society will organ
ize with a membership of nearly
fifty.
At the initial meeting of the society
officers will be elected for the year and
a committee will be appointed to draft
a suitable constitution and bylaws
to govern the society. This COM
mittee will be instructed to report
at the next meeting which will be
held about March 1.
1t is the intention of the promoters
OF the society to invite Gov. Charles
B. Aycock, Gen. Julian S. Carr and
other prominent North Carolinians to
attend the next meeting of the society,"
at which time a banquet or smoker
will probably be given at the De Soto.

The present winter has been the
coolest ever experienced in Savan-
nah.
Under usual conditions, the memory
of the oldest inhabitant" and the re-
cords kept by the official compiler in
the post Office building differ greatly.
This time, however, memory and Of
fetal records agree and the winter will
go down in history as the coolest ex-
perienced in Savannah, at least in
33 years.
December, January, and February,
are the winter months and it yet re-
mains to be seen what February will
bring forth. Thus far a deficiency of
temperature has been recorded each
DAY and it is not probable that the
month will make up its own deficiency,
and that of the two months preceding.
In determining the relative GOODNESS
of this and former winters the highest
temperature recorded in January and
February for SO years was taken.
With this was recorded the lowest
temperature for each month, and

The departure from the normal for
each day in the month gives the total
departure for each month. This
system of recording was not begun by
the Weather Bureau until 1890, so that
the records in this line run back only
IA years.
The total departure from the normal
temperature for the two months of
this winter is 1874 degrees. The winters
which come nearest to equalling this
for the same length of time are those
of 1896 and $685. each of which record
ed deficiency of temperature of ia de-
grees. The winter of 1892 ranks third
with shortage of III degrees. From
that figure the departures vary great
ly, the winter of 1903 coming closest to
the normal with an excess of only
degrees.
These figures do not, of course, give
an exact idea of the temperature of
the days as they followed one another.
Many of the winters were considerable
broken with stretches of warm
weather. while others were marked,
not by one or two severely cold days so
much as by number of days not un-
usually cold, but still several degrees
below the normal. The total deficiency
or excess, however, shows exactly the
winter conditions and thus furnishes

AGED NEGRO WOUNDED
WHILE STEALING CABBAGES.
Peppered with Duck Shot Before He
Was Arrested.

Was Arrested.
Isaac Haywood, who has a farm on
the Bay street road, telephoned to po-
lice headquarters yesterday morning
that he had shot some one in his cab
bage patch the night before, but when
he got UP the next morning he was
unable to find the person who had been
ravaging his garden.
He stated he was positive that he had
hit the thief, for he had heard him ex-
claim "Oh, Lord. I'm killed" as he
made a hot foot for a back fence. Hay
wood got up fully expecting to find
dead thief in the back of his garden,
and when he could not find a trace of
him he decided the best thing to do
was to telephone to the police to pre-
vent any complications arising.
Detectives Murphy and Wall were
detailed to Investigate the report. While
going along the road the detectives met
Joe Cohen. 76 years of age. The old
darkey recognized the officers and stop
ped them. Use been lookin' for you,
gemmun," he exclaimed as he stretched
forth his left hand which was bloody,
and raised his hat from his head and
disclosed two small wounds. evidently
made by small shot.
The old negro then related a thrilling
story of how he was held up on the
Mill-Haven road, robbed and then shot
at, three of the duck shot taking effect,
one in his left hand and the other two
in his forehead.
The detectives at once connected the
old man with the story they were go
ing to investigate, and brought him
back to the city. where charges of
stealing cabbages were preferred
against him. He appeared to be in
such pain when he reached the city
that he was carried to the Georgia In
Urinary for treatment.

MAY NOT BE SETTLED.

Several Aldermen Say They VIII
Not Agree ON Asphalt.
There is little chance, it appears now.
that the. committee, appointed by City
Council will be able to come to an
agreement with the property owners in
the CASTOR street paving case.
There is a strong sentiment in Coun-
Gil against paving the entire street
with asphalt, and unless the property
owners agree to a brick pavement, ex-
cept for the two blocks between Whit
aker and Drayton, it is likely that no
agreement will be reached. and the
matter will be allowed to drag along.
An alderman said yesterday that it
had cost the city more to repair the
street for fourteen years than it did
to pave it. He said that under the act
of the Legislature giving the city the
right to pave the streets the city is
allowed to charge the property owners
for repairs. but this has never been
done.
