WILL SOON SELECT SITE
FOR SOUTH SIDE CLUB.
Charter VIII he Obtained and stock
Issued to Raise Funds.

Issued to Raise Funds.
Within the next few days. a defn-
ke decision in regard to the club
house for the South Side Administra-
ton Club viii be reached.
The advisory board of the South
Side, of which ]. Robert Creamer is
chairman, has under consideration
three sites and a selection will prob
ably be made early in the week.
A charter will be obtained and stock
will be issued to raise sufficient mon
ey for the purchase of the lot and the
erection of the building. The rental,
which the club now pays for it's quar-
tiers, will be saved and money will be
obtained from the two stores that will
be built beneath the club rooms. In
this way it is thought the property
can be paid for within a few years.
The social features of the club will
be enlarged upon. There are to be
reading and writing rooms, pool tab
les and a number of games for
the amusement of the members. The
club will be kept open regularly, and
will afford a gathering place in the
southern section of the city, where a
pleasant evening may be spent.
With the erection of the club house
it is hoped to greatly enlarge the
scope of the club. Politically it will
be an iron-clad organization, only
those affiliating with the Citizens Club
being received. But within the party
there will be no restrictions and every
member of the club will be free to
make his choice when there is fight
within party lines.
The erection of the club house will,
it is thought, perpetuate the organi-
cation for all time. making 1t one of
the most powerful factors in city poll
tics.

BIG INCREASE
IN CITY INCOME
BUT BALANCE DWINDLING.
IN ELEVEN MONTHS $1,1OO,OOO HAS
BEEN COLLECTED.

Heavy Bills at End of the Year Are
Cutting Down Amount of Cash on
Hand, Though, and 1t Is Not
Thought Much over 100000 VIII
BE Carried over to Next Year
Close Figuring VIII BE Required
in Making Up Budget.
A trial balance of the books of the
city treasury shows that during the
first eleven months of the present year
over S1,1OO,O0O was taken in by the
city, by far the largest amount the
city has ever collected in any year.
Alderman James NJ. Dixon. the chair
man of the Finance Committee. some
time ago made an estimate Of the city's
receipts for 1904, predicting that they
would amount to s1,100,0O0 for the en-
tire year The estimate, however, has
been exceeded in eleven months. De-
spite the large amount of money re-
ceived, there is danger of the bal
ance that is to be carried over at the
end of the year not being as large as
was expected.
Chairman Dixon has been figuring
on a balance of s12O, 900, but he says
now it is doubtful if so large a sum
IS carried over. The last few sched-
ules of accounts have been very heavy
and have taken up lot of the money
on hand. 1t is now thought the ball
ance on hand at the end of the year
will be only a little over 100000.
There is quite a sum of money due
the city and efforts are being made
to collect it before the end of the year.
If most of this could be secured the
Balance would be as large, or larger,
than had been expected. The sum
carried over and the money due will
exceed the estimate of $120,000 but it
is doubtful if that much actual cash
is on hand to begin the new year with.
The making up of the budget for
next year will require closer figuring
than the city officials have had to do
in many years. With 100000 to be
appropriated for the City Hall, close
figuring will have to be done. Until
an estimate of next years receipts
are made work on the budget will not
be started, though the aldermen are
already figuring individually on it.

1t Takes the Gold Medal.

The best water in the world in the
opinion of the most scientific judges
in this country is White Stone Lithia
Water. In actual test with 11S other
waters, some of which are the Oldest
and most celebrated in the world, White
Stone Lithia is greater in it's analysis
as a table and medicinal water than all
of them.
The benefits and effects produced up
on the kidneys is wonderful. Physi-
clans prescribe it freely. Anyone suf-
fering from liver, kidney, stomach, or
bladder troubles should not hesitate
after this test.
White Stone has been put to critical
tests and everything claimed for 1t has
been verified and substantiated by the
worlds most expert chemists. An
abundant supply of this water is al
ways kept on hand by the we'll known

WHY CITY DEPARTMENTS
WANT MORE MONEY.
Growth of Savannah Puts More
xUorIx m Almost All neuarfments.

Growth of Savannah Puts More
Work on Almost All Departments.
The increase wanted by the various
city departments are almost all be-
cause of the natural growth Of the city
and the consequent increase in duties
for each of the departments.
The police department takes almost
all of it's appropriation for the payment
of salaries, a fixed charge than cannot
be cut down by the superintendent
no matter how economical he may be
in other ways. There are more men
on the force now than formerly and
the salary roll alone amounts to $780,
600. The cost of feed for the horses.
the purchase of horses, the lighting
and heating and the feeding of prison.
ers will require about 100000 making
the total of $4,000, which is this year
asked for.
The fire department wants to pur-
chase a new hook and ladder for No.
6 fire station, and this will, of course,
take extra money 1t is also desired
to raise the salaries of the fremen,
and this, if done. will necessitate a
larger appropriation. The feeding of
the horses and the keeping in repair
of the apparatus makes a large item In
this department. To properly protect
the city Fire Chief Mcguire says an
additional hook and ladder for the
South Side is needed.
The streets and lane and the scaven-
ger departments both want small in
creases. The additional paving makes
a greater amount of work to be done
by the scavenger department. The
work in both of these department has
cyrpqfl xr ir1nrpo cod IN a rc
For opening streets, Chairman
Thomas desires an appropriation of
$4,000. There are notes to be met nj
this department aggregating over $780,
900, so this appropriation will leave
only a small amount of cash to be
spent, even if the $4,000 is given.
The waterworks department can
probably get along all right without
any increase, though one has been ask
ed for. Money was saved this year
on the appropriation.
The health department wants a small
increase, owing to the fact that an adj
ditional inspector is now employed.

BELATED THANKSGIVING
TURKEY WAS ARRESTED.
PatrOIman Had Hard Chase Before
Finally Capturing the Bird.

AhNliy capturing the blru'
Patrolman B. L. Tullis had an ex-
citing experience yesterday morning
when he discovered a fat turkey gobbler
walking around in Monterey Square at
Bull and Wayne streets.
AS soon as the patrolman discovered
the bird his old hunting spirit assert
ed itself. and he was soon to the lee
ward of the gobbler, exercising all the
caution of Daniel Boone.
Concealing himself behind the Pulas-
XII monument, the uniformed man gave
some boys the signal to flank the bird
and drive it in his direction. With
shout the boys charged on the turkey,
after circling to the windward, and
soon had it in full slight towards the
nervously waiting preserver of the
peace. The noise of the chase aroused
the neighborhood, and soon the chas-
ing party was augmented by half a
hundred children and women. The
fugitive was soon surrounded and
finally fell into the clutches of the Off
Ger, who sent it to the police station.

at which time the budget of the FL

The Finance Committee held a meet
ing yesterday afternoon for the pur-
pose of making the report complete in
detail before Offering it to the board.
The board has expended the $4,000
which was last appropriated by the
County Commissioners, for the pur-
chase Of the lots adjacent to the Bar
nard street School. At this meeting
of the board it is very probable it
will determine to ask the County Com
missioners for an appropriation for
the erection of a new building on the
site of the present building. and the
additional ground.

TRAPS SET FOR HAwLEY.
More Than One Fixed by People Who
Will Land the Goods.

Traps have been set in several coun-
ties of Georgia, and away up in the
Carolinas and in Tennessee for Capt.
G. I. Hawley, the butcher in the City

is to catch all descriptions of game
for the many patrons who trade with
him. AS the game is caught it is ship

get the best and in good condition.
Hawley doesn't stop with game, how
ever for he has large supplies of every
fine food the market affords. He lays

he had provocation. An officer, the
