German. They purpose to buy l50,-
900 acres of land, which they will
colonize and farm on the manor

zen and lawyer of kennett, who has
served his county as prosecuting
attorney and represented it twice in
the state legislature, and aspired to
the honorable position of congress-
maxwell known thruout South
east Acknowledgements IN jail at
Kennett, charged with the killing of
Harry Cover at that place the night
of January Is. Cover was young
man and had been paying his at
tentions to Hawkins's 19-year-old
daughter, to which he objected.
From this the trouble started which
ended so tragically to all concerned.
1t does seem that human life is a
mighty cheap article these days. 1t
is possible that Hawkins believed
the future happiness of his daughter
depended on his interference. But
how is it now, with the terrible crime
hanging over him? It is an awful
thing to take the life ola fellowman,
and it is very seldom necessary to
do so.

Brain-Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculuos food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dispell-
ed the silly notion that one kind of
food is needed for brain. another for
muscles, and still another for bones.
A correct diet will not only nourish
a particular part of the body, but
it will sustain every other part. Yet
however good your food may be,
it's nutriment is destroyed by indi
gestion Or dyspepsia. You must pre-
pare for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular dos
es of Green's August Flower, the
favorite medicine of the healthy mil
hons. A few doses aids digestion,

Now let's reason q few minutes
along that line. An honorable man
would not object to making such
pledges. But we have been won
dering what effect they would have
on such men as have no regard for
their solemn oath OF Office! An
honorable man regards his oath Of
Office as sacredly binding and lives
up to its Obligations. On the other
hand, if a man has no regard for
his oath Of Office such promises Or
pledges would certainly be no more
binding. The remedy lies in elect
ing good men to Office; then we
will have honorable officers, and
that is The only way to get them,

TARGET PRACTICE A
DISTINCT SUCCESS,

savannah Military Men Witnessed
Practice at Fort screven.
Practice with the S-inch guns and
with the mortars at Fort Screven was
held yesterday by the members of the
Coast Artillery stationed at Tybee.
The showing was an excellent one,
despite discouraging conditions. and
the percentage of hits will probably
be as large as that at the last prac-
tice. The showing made with the
rapid-fire guns was also good one
and both officers and men expressed
themselves as well pleased with the
results. ~
The target was large pyramid
shaped object which fioated on the
water at a distance of from one to
five miles from the marksmen. The
wind was from the west and blew
the sound to sea. There was some
delay at first in getting the targets
placed and it was nearly o'clock
when the practice ended.
The practice was witnessed by a
number of Savannah military men,
among whom were Col. A. r. Law
ton, Col. Jordan F. Brooks, Maj. w.
B. Stephens, and Capt. w. T. Dixon.
The visitors were the guests of Lieut..
Col Anderson, commandant of the
fort After the practice lunch was
served at the quarters of Col. Ander-
son.

METER INSPECTIONS
WILL SOON BEGIN.
Water Committee Authorized TO
Purchase Testers.

Furcnuse IcstcES'
The meter inspector ordinance. intro
duced by Alderman Garfunkel two
weeks ago, was passed by Council at
the meeting last night. after 1t had
been amended. The amendment was
offered by the author of the ordinance
and merely changed the wording of the
ordinance, without effecting the result.
A resolution, also by Alderman Gar
funkel, authorizing the Water Com
mittee to purchase gas meter tester
and an electric meter tester at a total
cost not TO exceed $500, was passed.
The purchases will be made at once,
and the inspection of the meters will
begin early in January.
Alderman Schroeder made an effort
to amend the ordinance, so as to make
the charge for "a test 30 cents. IN
stead OF 81. but his amendment did
not receive a second. Alderman Gar
funkel stated he had carefully studied
similar ordinances from cities all over
the country before deciding on the
charge. If a meter is found to be out
of order. the fee is returned to the
complainant, anyway, he said.
Alderman Schroeder. on the other
hand, insisted that a dollar was too
much. By making the charge nomi-
nal. he said the test would be put
within reach of every one. The ordi-
nance was passed for the protection
of the people he said, and he thought
it should be put within the reach of
every one. He failed to get any one
to second the amendment, however,
and it died a natural death.
An amendment. allowing a per
cent. varia ton from the standard, was
i
than 3 per cent. from the standard it
will be considered correct.

RECORDS OF BIRTHS
HAVE BEEN LOST.

Through Attorney w. w. Sheppard.
Charlotte Thompson Of Isle of Hope,
yesterday brought suit against her
husband, James Thompson, for tenn
porary and permanent alimony and for
counsel fees. The woman alleges that
she left her husband because of his
"wilful, wanton, cruel and inhuman
treatment"
She claims she is the mother of ten
children, but because the records OF
their birth have been lost she cannot
give their ages. She asserts that her
husband is an able-bodied man. that
he owns a boat, and that he makes his
living by selling oysters at 65 cents per
gallon. Judge Cam set the case for
Jan. Z, as far as temporary aiimony Is
concerned. The petition for perma.
nent alimony will be heard on March 6
