Famous Autoists VIII Be Here.
In addition to EIessrs. Graham and
Oldheld there will be a large number
of other famous autoists here for the
races. Interest is being manifested
all over the country in the race. and
nearly all of those who attend the
races at Ormonde Beach will stop over
in Savannah.
Messrs. W. T. and r. L. Raineys
well known in Savannah, will arrive
next week, accompanied by a large
number of friends. They have leased
the Einstein residence on East
Liberty street, and expect to have a
large number of guests during the rest
of the winter. The Messrs. Rainey will
bring three machines with them, two
sixtN-horse- power Mercedes and ona
twenty-hOrse-po power Franklin racer.
In addition to the Rainey party Mr.
Bryson said that he had a conYersa-
ton with a large number of other
prominent autoists who expressed their
intention of coming TO Savannah, and
enjoying the roads in this vicinity
about which they have heard so much.
A Great Show in New York;
Mr.. Bryson said the show held at
Madison Square Garden was the great
est SlgnC ne mad ever gazed upon.
There was everything in the shape Of
machine that man could think Of"
he said, land everybody seemed eager
to buy. I saw any number of sales
where people were willing to take the
machines before they were even paint
ed and enameled. They preferred to
save this extra time and have the work
done themselves.
I'VE will be unable to get any of
the new models here for two or three
months yet" Mr.. Eryson continued,
''as all of the factories are working
over time, and took enough orders dur
ing the show in New York to keep
them busy for the next two months.
1t Is surprising to see the interest that
is now being taken in automobiling.
while l was in New York learned
that plans were being made for a
transcontinental trip from San Fran
cisco to New York with Bert HoI-
combe OF New York as driver. Hol-
combe established the Chicago-New
York record of LIT miles in seventy
six hours, and says that with the next
thirty-five horse power Columbia car
he can beat his former time. The trip
VIII probably start about June l. The
run will continue day and night
Mr.. Bryson said that the exact date
for the contest between Oldheld and
Graham had not been set. but that he
thought 1T would be on Feb. 6.

Down in the tropical jungles Of Gen.

head of the family is not worried by
milliners' and dressmakers' bills. The
semi civilized belle of these lands
knows how to get nearly the whole
of her costume from the jungle. She
manufactures it herself from the ma
terials she gathers from nature. Though
she may be able in rare cases to get
from the one shop ten or fifteen miles
away a few yards of cloth with which
to make her dress, any trimming she
may wish to put on it must be search
ed for in the woods.
Lace bark is her favorite material
for making anything light and dainty.
This lace bark is the film which covers
the heart of the lace bark tree. The
natives carefully remove it and soak
it in running water for three or four
days in order to get off the gum and
necessary fibre. After that it is bleach
ed on the sands by the river and
sprinkled now and then to whiten it.
When it has become a creamy white
it is pressed with a hot iron or a
heated stone, and is ready for use.

The French Minister of War, Gen.
Andre, is one of the best abused men
in France because of his recently an
nounced purpose to promote equality
in the ranks of the army. To further
this object he has recently abolished
the custom of presenting arms" as a
mark of respect. He is accused of fos-
tering socialism in the French ranks
and of deliberately following out a
policy of religious and political perse-
cution. He condemned to two years
hard service in the ranks sixty poly
technic students who rebelled against
the severity of an examination. Gen.
Andre is a great favorite with the
common soldier. He began life in the
army as a lieutenant in the imperial
guard.

BECAUSE OF WOMAN
MACON MAN ARRESTED.

4. 5. Smith Refuses to Talk other
Than Say ''She" Did Not Betray Him.
While waiting for a telegram from
Miss Mollie Martin of Macon, T. S.
Smith, q years of age. was arrested
by Detective Frank Wall near the
Western Union telegraph Office yester-
day.
The arrest was made upon a tele-
gram from Chief of Police Murphy of
Macon, who did not specify the charge.
The message simply said arrest T. S.
Smith, waiting at Western Union for
reply from Miss Mollie Martin.
Though Smith refuses to discuss his
case, he is emphatic in stating that
the woman in the case" did not give
him away. To an officer he said it was
"the man."
The case is rather mysterious as
viewed from this end Of the line. Smith
to representative of the Morning
News denied being guilty of any crime
IN Macon. He said Macon was his
home. but refused to say when he left
there or to give any information at all.
To the turnkey at the police station
ne showed picture of the woman in
the case" The turnkey also stated that
Smith told him he had caused the
same young woman who is spoken of
in the telegram from Macon as Miss
Mollie Martin" to leave her husband
for him. Whatever the case is a
woman is mixed up in it in some way
Smith managed to retain his picture of
the woman in spite of the search that
is always made of prisoners.
The man was tipped off that he was
wanted and Detective Wall, who made
the arrest, had to look some distance
from the Western Union office.
