Sims, a white woman residing on Gwin-
nett street, west, and her 17-year-old
daughter, Fannie Sims, with the lar
ceny of a pocketbook containing $50

miles from Savannah.
The woman and daughter were. ar
rested and waived preliminary hear
ing. Justice BeVans bound them over
to the City Court and fixed bail at 500
each. The defendants furnished the
necessary bond and were released. Ac-
cording to Kestner he visited the home
of the Sims woman a few days ago,
and while there left his coat in a
room on chair. When he returned,
he alleges. the money and pin had dis
appeared.

the time and that he was talking to
Louisa Sims. The daughter, he says,

tive that when he laid the coat on
the chair he examined the purse and
counted the money. The case will

Mr. Dickson Called Mt capt DaNlo-
sons ONCE for Information.
No official notice has been received
in Savannah announcing the awarding
of the contract for the new buildings
to be erected at Fort Screven.
Capt. Davidson of the quartermas-
ter department, who has immediate
supervision of the work, has not been
notified by the department of the
awarding Of the contract.
Mr.. j. c. Dickson, whose bid was
the lowest submitted for the work, but
which was thrown out on account of
its not being prepared properly, called
al Capt. DavidSon's office in the Mer-
chants National Bank building dur
ing the day for details regarding the
rejection of his bid. But little infor-
nation could be given him. however,
owing to the non-receipt of any no
tice from the War Department.
A reasonable length of time will be
given the successful contractor to fur
nish the proper bond and collect his
materials and workmen. The work
will then be rushed rapidly to COM
pietion. 1t is estimated that at least
a year, or eighteen months, will be
required to complete the buildings.
BY that time it is hoped that Fort
Screven will be made a four-post gar
rison, and that the additional improve
ments necessary will have been au
thorized Should the hopes of the
army officers here, and the committee
from the Chamber of Commerce hav-
ing the matter in charge be realized,
the additional improvements will be
completed Immediately after those al
ready authorized.

HOW TO GET RICH.
Lesson 8. Chapter q

Yes, that old man once earned good
wages Cor received a handsome salary.
He was foreman for Mr.. So and So Cor
cashier for Messrs. Whatyoucallem)
He is now getting a dollar day, and
pays half of what he earns for house
rent. He had a chance to be well-to-do.
He will tell you all about 1t If he has a
chance between jobs to do so. 1t is
the old story of what he could have
bought such a piece of land. or such a
lot for when he was a young man, and
what it is worth now! But, and it is
but with big, big B, he didn't buy.
He bought something else that he did
not need, and which has long since
gone to the rubbish pile, or he kept a
horse and buggy, or he patronized that
great absorber of earnings, the sa-
loon. His old wife. if she hasn't al
ready died of hard work and disap-
pointed hopes, is doing the cooking,
the washing, and the scrubbing; and
the boys and girls-well. some of them
are doing well, but they don't help the
old father and mother, and are not
over affectionate. If the old folks had
a house and lot they would not only be
living a comparatively easy life, but
some of the boys and girls would be
staying at home, and helping with
board money, with an eye to some
thing that may be left to them in the
by and by" To-day there are men
doing Just as this old man did. and
their old age will be the same as his,
if they don't look out for the future.
A good savings bank is a lot, and a
better one is a house and lot. Buy
lot on Thirty ninth street east. or
elsewhere. Paying the installments
will be an anchor to windward" for
old age.-ad.

the subject yesterday.
LAS matters now stand, these people

sort of thing is made a misdemeanor

are now operating.
An Injury to City.
mo ope knows better than the mer-
chants the hardships that are in1ict-
ed upon poor people who are forced, at
times, to negotiate small loans. In
many cases they are only able to pay
the exorbitant interest, and they are
never out of the clutches of the money
lenders, even though they have a
dozen times paid the amount first Sc
cured.
1t is our intention to force the meas
ure through now, and put a stop to an
evil that is injuring our city more than
any other single thing.
"A determined fight should have
been made long ago on these people
who grow fat on the earnings OF the
poor. Not only do those who are forced
to borrow suffer. but the merchants as
we'll lose.
How Poor suffer.
Poor people cannot pay for what
they get, and cannot actually buy the
necessities of life. when they are in
the clutches of these sharks. They
are kept busy filling the NAV of these
money lenders, and have little or moth
ing left upon which to live.
The merchants have gone over the
situation thoroughly, and have decd-
ed absolutely upon concerted action.
After we have gotten the bill in
shape and all our data on the subject
prepared, we shall present our case
to the Chamber of Commerce, and
urge that body to assist US in an I'M
dertaking that can be carried out with
out great deal of trouble, and that
will mean much to savannah"

Superior Court.
In the Superior Court yesterday
Judge Cam handed down a decision to
the effect that in proceedings for di-
vorce. both parties conserving, the
first verdict of divorce can be taken at
the first term Of the court after the in
stttution of the suit. The ruling was
made during the trial of the case of
Laura B. Arndt against Lewis Arndt
The movants were Travis & Edwards
The decision is one of the most i'm
portant that has been handed down by
the court in some time. 1t means that
whereas it has been the custom for
parties seeking divorce to secure 1t in
three terms of the court, that If a con-
sent be secured, it may be obtained in
two terms. 1t is probable that consents
will hereafter be attached to petitions
for divorce, for as a general rule both
parties are anxious to sever the
bonds.

best to get at least fair prices, but I'm
going to sell for whatever get. Just
take look at this property and come

half what it's worth and you will stand
a good chance of getting some of it.

lots in the best part of West Savan-
nah. The house and a whole lot of
lots in Collinsville will be sold in the
afternoon of same day, Tuesday. May
3, corner Bolton and OFT.
My own opinion is that these lots
will give the best chance in years to
make money. People won't pay more
than one-third of their value, and I've
got to sell them. If Mr.. Collins wasn't
executor, and I wasn't auctioneer, you
would sure have to pay at least half
what they are worth 1 reckon either

they will sell for, but we can't buy.

be cleared away in less than two
weeks, 1t is said.
