HOW TO GET RICH.
Lesson 4. Chapter 4.

What man has done, man can do"
There are hundreds of men in Sa-
vannah who are enjoying their dolce
far niente" because their foresights
were as good as their hindsights. Cali
men are not built that way, however.)
These fortunates were not rich men,
but smart men, with faith in facts;
storekeepers, mechanics, clerks and
other folks of that ilk They bought
real estate with their SURPRISES or
savings and held on, and in the due
course of events found themselves we'll
to-do, If not rich and history re-
peats itself in real estate as in other
mundane affairs. Lots that twenty
years ago We're hard to sell at $500 to
$500 are only to be had, by chance at
81 900 to $2,500 Those lots were far,
far away, then, but they are in town
now, and the lots on the outskirts to-
day will be in town in another decade,
or less. Now is the time to invest
The whirligig is still whirling, and an
investment in Thirty-ninth street, east,
lots, or any other lots of equal value,
may bring you on top.-ad

HAS COMPLETED ITS
WIRE CUTTING WORK.
All Postal Wires Have Been Remov-
ed from western Union Poles.

The Western Union has completed the
work of cutting the Postal companys
wires that were on Western Union
poles. The work was finished early yes
terday morning.
The only development in the case
yesterday was the application filed by
the Postal with the city, asking permits
sion TO erect poles along Drayton street
TO the De Soto. This application was
filed with Mayor Myers. 1t will be
brought before Council tonight, and
will be referred to the Streets and
Lanes Committee.
The city does not want any more
poles on that portion of Drayton street
and it is doubtful If the permission will
be granted. If not, however, a general
ordinance will probably be passed CIV
ing the city the right to make one com
pany allow another to use it's poles,
where the city will not allow additional
poles erected.
Such an ordinance will probably be
introduced in Council in the near fu-
ture, at any rate.

POLICY WRITER FINED
AND so WAS SALOONIST.
Judge Norwood Disposed of Two
Criminal Cases Yesterday.

Judge Norwood Disposed of Two
Criminal Cases Yesterday.
For writing policy, E. H. Bynes, col
ored, was fined 500 by Judge Nor
wood yesterday in the City Court.
In case the fine is not paid in the
required time the prisoner will labor
for twelve months on the county chain
gang. Bynes entered a plea of guilty,
through his attorney, Col. Robert L.
Colding.
N. A. Fountain was also fined in
the same court. For keeping a tip
pling house open on the Sabbath.
Judge Norwood sentenced him to pay
a fine of $3.50 or in lieu thereof to
serve six months in the county Jail.
AS in the policy case, Fountain en-
tered a plea of guilty through Col
Colding
A verdict for the defendant was re-
turned in the City Court by the jury
in the case of NJ. ]. Desverges against
Susan M. Houston. The case was one
brought to recover 5000 which the
plaintiff alleged he had loaned the
woman for the purpose of paying
takes, interest on other loans, etc
Beckett & Beckett appeared for the
plaintiff and Mr.. Raiford Falligant for
the defendant.

BADLY WANTED TlLLMANS
ARRESTED THROUGH RUSE.
Came to Court Yesterday Expecting
to Testify.

Through the clever ruse of Chief
Deputy Sheriff Sweeny Jack Tillman,
and his two sons, Jasper and Levy
Tillman were arrested yesterday. The
men have been badly wanted for some
time, but it was feared that if one
should be arrested the other two would
take the hint and skip out.
The act for which the men were
wanted was an assault on Joel Dick
erson, a brother of the man who was
convicted of manslaughter in the SUI
perior Court. Joel Dickerson had gone
to the Tillman home to collect the rent
when without the slightest provoca-
ton the men are alleged to have
jumped on him and beat him unmer-
cifully.
Chief Deputy Sheriff Sweeny then
conceived the ruse of getting the men
to come to court as witnesses against
Dickerson and then arrest them when
they were all together. This was
successfully carried out and they will
now be compelled to answer the in
dictments brought against them some
time ago.
Jasper Tillman has been wanted for
some time on other charges, it being
charged that he maliciously drove
spikes and nails into the trees and
other properties of his neighbors and
committed other depredations.

JAILED TILL HE PAYS
HER FUNERAL EXPENSES.
Unusual Case Heard Before Judge
Cam I'm Superior Court.

Cann IN superior Court.
Because he refused to pay his wife's
funeral expenses r. f. Wise was yes
terday placed in the custody Of the
sheriff until he gives bond to do so.
The case is an unusual one. and one
Of the most interesting that has come
before Judge Cam in a long while.
Some time ago the case of Elizabeth
Wise against r. +. Wise, divorce and
alimony was brought in the Superior
Court
verdict for the plaintiff was re-
turned, and a small monthly stipend
awarded as alimony. The husband
was also ordered to pay the fees of
the wifes attorney, Mr.. A. Gordon
Harvey
Later it was announced that Wise
refused to come over" in accordance
with the order of the court, and a
rule was issued ordering him to APP
pear before Judge Cam and show
cause why he should not be ruled in
contempt. This he refused to do, and
as a result an officer of the court was
sent after him.
Just previous to this the wife died.
and the husband has stoutly refused to
pay her funeral expenses. With the
order placing him in the hands of the
sheriff, Judge Cam ordered that he
pay to the attorney that had represent
ed his wife at the first hearing of the
case, Mr.. A. Gordon Harvey, the sum
of $24 SIG of which is to go for the
funeral expenses and the remainder
to the attorney.

WILL DISCHARGE
LIEUT.. FLEMING
AND ABOLISH HIS OFFICE.
WAS SUSPENDED BY MAYOR FOR
ASsAULTING PATROLMAN.

Lieutenant of Police, Only Recently
Suspended by Council for Thirty
Days without Pay, Is Now
Charged with heating PatroImnn
Thomas Grifin-AIsO with Break
ing in Door of store Because
Woman Would Not Open Early in
Morning to Give Him whisky.
Omcer VIII BE Tried Before City
Council Tonight.
For beating Patrolman Thomas Grit
fin early yesterday morning, and later
breaking in a door because he was
refused admittanCe into a store in the
South Side, where he wanted to get
a drink. Lieutenant of Police Walter
H. Fleming was yesterday suspended
by Mayor Myers, until he can be given
a trial by City Council.
The matter will come up at the ses-
sion tonight and it is probable that
Lieut.. Fleming will be discharged
before Council on charges, and was
suspended for thirty days without pay.
If Lieut.. Fleming is discharged, as
now seems certain, the office of lieu
tenant OF police will be abolished.
The beating administered TO Patrol
man Griffin is alleged to have occurred
while Fleming was under the inhu-
ence of whisky. The lieutenant ana
the patrolman were walking on the
street a the time of the assault.
Assault without Warning.
Fleming, it is alleged, had been ours
ing and the officer had endeavored to
quiet him. 1t appeared that he had
succeeded and the two were walking
together when Fleming, it is charged
suddenly grabbed Griffins pistol. He
then took the patrolman's billy. it is
alleged, and beat him in the face with
it.
Griffin was given a severe beating
and was unable to go on duty in the
morning. That is the way the matter
was reported to the superintendent of
police, and the superintendent brought
it to the attention of the Mayor.
Mayor Myers took the matter under
advisement, until he could make an
investigation. Later he issued an order
suspending Lieut.. Fleming.
Had Trouble with Woman.
Besides beating Griffin, Fleming is
charged with other conduct unbecom-

store in the South Side he obtained
half pint of whisky between 2 and
o'clock in the morning, the proprietress
of the place stated to the police.
An hour or two later, she says, he
returned and wanted more whisky.
The woman sleeps over the store and
heard some one below.
Broke the Door In.
She refused to get up and open
the store, and Lieut.. Fleming is al
legged to have broken the glass in the
door, and to have battered it down.
The woman stated there could be no
doubt as to the identity of the man
who broke in the door. She says she
looked out after the noise kept up
| for some time and saw him. She
| charged that he also used profane Ian
| guage.
The fact that Fleming was only re-
Gently tried on the charge of being
| drunk and disorderly and that he was
warned by Council will make the pres
ent case go against him.

COUNCILS SESSION
WILL BE INTERESTING.
Present Complications Likely TO
Produce Interesting situations.


Produce Interesting situations.
There are few matters to come be-
fore Council tonight. yet the session
promises to be an interesting one,
owing to few complications that have
arisen.
On the West Broad street grass plat
matter there is likely to be some
discussion. Three of the members of
the Streets and Lanes Committee say
the plat was agreed upon at com
mittee meeting and the other two say
it was not.
1t developes that there will probably
be objections from some of the prop
erty owners along the street, and this
Will further complieate matters. It
will probably be taken up tonight
though it is doubtful if it will be set
tied.
The gasoline ordinance will probably
bring about more discussion, unless
the committee agrees upon it to-day.
Alderman Oliver the chairman of the
committee, has been out Of the city
and no meeting of the committee was
held. Unless a meeting is held and
an opportunity given all who care to
do so to appear before the committee
another fight will be made upon the
ordinance, if it is brought up. The
trial of Lieut.. Fleming win also add
interest to the meeting.

Business Men to Decide Whether
Fair or Carnival Shall he Held.
An important meeting will be held
in the Chamber of Commerce rooms
this afternoon at o'clock by the
committee appointed to consider the
question of a fair or carnival for Sa-
vannah this fall.
This committee was appointed at
meeting held under the auspices of
the Savannah Racing Association and
has already held one meeting. 1t has
since been enlarged to more than thir-
" members and 9 full attendance is
expected at the meeting to-day.
AS has been stated before, the senti-
ment of business men generally is that
Savannah should have some sort of an
entertainment, so that practically the
only questions to be decided this after
noon are the kind of entertainment
and the date for it.

NO VERDICT REACHED
IN CASE AGAINST DAVIS.
Counsel for Defense Scored Warsaw
Waterman in Arguments.

NOnhSe1 LOT DGlcnse dES&A0
Waterman in Arguments.
At few minutes before 7 o'clock
last night the case of the state against
Hector Davis, colored, charged with
murderously assaulting Liche Red, the
Warsaw Island Waterman, was given
to the jury. At 1880 o'clock no agree
ment had been reached by the jury.
The only point brought out in the
trial that was new was the fact that
Davis had a lease emitting him to
tong for oysters in certain parts of
the streams at the island. Besides
this, evidence was brought out by the
defense to show that permission had
been given him to tong in other sec
tions. The testimony was adduced to
show that the negro had the right
to keep the oysters which he had in
his boat and to defend his own prop
erty.
The story told by Red, the principal
witness for the state was practically
the same as that told by him imme-
diately after the assault as printed
in the Morning News. The cross-eX-
animation brought out only two points
which had not developed during the
direct examination: that Red was in
the habit of sinking boats on the
creek in question, and that he did
not know that the negroes had taken
their oysters from the property of his
employer.
Chief Deputy Sheriff Sweeny was
called by the state. He testified as to
the arrest, of the indications of the
struggle at Warsaw Island and the
blood scattered over the ground. The
broken oars and the guns were in
troduced in evidence by the state.
For the defense Hector Davis himself
was the first witness called. He stat
ed that he had been oyster-tonging
on his own property. He told of the
struggle between Red and Prey and
claimed that Red shot Prey himself,
and that the killing was not the result
of an accident.
The lease which Davis held was in
troduced together with the leases of
other parties who had given him per-
mission to tong on their lands. Dur
ing the course of their argument
counsel for the defense, Messrs. Nor
man & Beckett roundly scored Red,
referring to him as "desperado,' "a
reckless, CONSCIOUSNESS, desperate man,
ready to kill without a moments no.
tice," and as a "cruel murderer who
had arrested Davis to hide his own
crime" Everytime these phrases were
used Red, who was sitting in the
court room, smiled broadly.

TWO FALSE ALARMS
MADE FlREMEN MAD.
Same Man Pulled Two Boxes Only
Two Blocks Apart.

With an interval of only few min
utes, two false alarms were sounded
last night, probably by the same man.
The first alarm came from box -,
at Broughton and Jefferson streets.
Before the engines had left the scene,
the second alarm was turned in from
Broughton and West Broad streets,
two blocks away
Several persons saw the man when
he turned in the second alarm, but
he ran Immediately and could not be
overtaken. If the man can be identi-
fed he will be prosecuted vigorously.
If he had been caught after the sec
ond alarm last night, it is probable
that he would have received some
thing worse than prosecution, judging
by the way the firemen felt about the
matter.

POLICE ARE READY
FOR OPENING OF RANGE.

Mayor Myers VIII Probably Fire
First Shot at Targets.
All arrangements have been made
by the superintendent of police for the
opening of the pistol range at police
headquarters tomorrow afternoon.
All of the city officials will be on
hand at 5 O'Clock, and an enjoyable
afternoon is expected. The range will
probably be formally opened by hav-
ing the Mayor empty revolver at
one of the targets.
The targets have been put up on
both ranges and ammunition has been
secured, so that all of the visitors will
be able to fire one or two shots. 1t is
probable that several matches will be
arranged during the afternoon, and
rare sport is anticipated.
