KINGS DAUGHTERS
TO AID POOR WOMAN
Collection Taken Up in boarding
House TO Help Her Along.

Collection Taken Up i'm Boarding
House TO Help Her Along.
Help has come to the poor mother,
with five small children to provide for,
who appealed to Judge McAlpin for
protection from the extortionate de-
mands of a Savannah money broker.
The story as told in the Morning News
yesterday morning brought the helpless
condition Of the woman before many
people, and steps have already been
taken to help her along.
Judge McAlpin, who granted the
homestead exemption to her, was call
ed up yesterday morning before he had
left his home and told that at a GER
tain boarding house in the city, col
lection had been taken up, and a total
Of $3.50 raised to help the woman along.
Several of those at the boarding house
also stated that they would help the
woman by giving her work to do.
Later in the day a communication
was received from one of the local
chapters of Kings Daughters, asking
the court about the woman, and stat
ing they could help her in many ways.
Judge McAlpin will communicate with
her at once. and the indications are
that henceforth she will have all the
sewing that she can attend to.

COURT MARTIAL WILL
CONVENE NEXT WEEK
Questions of fits Composition and
Time of Sittings Discussed.

Questions of fits Composition and
Time Of Sittings Discussed.
Next week the court-martial will be-
gin its Investigations in Savannah Of
the conduct OF officers at Statesboro.
From present indications it would
appear that each of the accused Off
GERS will be tried separately. In such
an event the sessions OF the court
would be greatly prolonged. The off,
GERS whose conduct will be investigated
are Capt. Hitch. Lieuts Nell, Cone,
Griner and Morrison.
Col. Garrard, one Of the mem bers
of the court selected by Gov Terrell,
has received formal notification OF his
appointment and has communicated to
Gov. Terrell the Interruptions which
viii come by reason Of his duties as
city attorney.
1t is considered probable that Col.
Garrard will be excused, though this
is a matter for the Governor, as even
retired officer cannot refuse such an
appointment. Nothing has been heard
from Capt. W. w. Gordon, Jr., who
is the other Savannah member of the
court. He is at present in Vermont
The question of the hours of holding
the court has also been discussed by
local military men. 1t is the opinion
of some that the hours for a federal
court-martial, from II to 3, will gov
ern, while others believe that the hours
may be longer. The advantage of the
shorter hours is that it enables the
stenographers to transcribe their notes,
and have them ready for the court on
the following morning.

BEFORE DAY CLUBS
INCREASE GUN TRADE
Demand for Pistols and Guns Has
Very PerceptibIy Increased.

Demand for Pistols and Guns Has
Very PerceptibIy Increased.
The exposing of the alleged Before
Day clubs and the consequent I'M
easiness that has been caused in the
rural sections, has undoubtedly in
creased the sales of firearms, cay Sa-
vannah hardware dealers.
People in the country have been
buying pistols and guns steadily since
the Statesboro affair. There have been
some sales to negroes, but the bulk
of the increase in trade has come from
white people in the country who wish
to be in a position to protect them
AS rule, every country house is
supplied with firearms, but it appears
that the people want new and up-to-
date weapons, because of the several
recent serious ARRAYS
a representative of William & H. H.
baltimore stated that there had been
very perceptible increase in the
inquiries for pistols and guns since
just before the Statesboro lynching. He
thought there was no doubt that the
troubles between whites and negroes
we're responsible IOr the increased ue-
mand.
1t was stated at Edward Lowell
Sons also that there had been an in
creased demand recently. The repre-
sentative of this firm said he had not
thought much about the cause of this
increase, but that there was no doubt
that more pistols were being sold. Since
the attempts to enter the house of
George Siday at the Isle of Hope, sew
eral pistols have been sold by this
firm to residents in the neighborhood.

Who has, or intends taking a life
insurance policy, should carefully
study the following, taken from a re-
cent number of American Invest
ments."
Jones and Smith. each having S.
900 in cash, form a partnership for the
purpose of dealing in hogs. In the
articles it is provided that the part
nership shall continue for a period of
five years, at the end of which time,
if both be living, the capital stock shall
be returned to each one and the earn
ings divided half and half. 1t also
provides that If either one shall die be-
fore the end of the said five years
he shall only have his capital stock
returned to him. Each has put into
the partnership all the money he has
in the world, and has a large family
depending on his labors. The bust
ness turns out quite prosperous, the
earnings being $4,000. The division
day approaches. but on it's eve, Jones
up and dies, and the next day Smith
comes around smiling with the $4,000
and he himself salts away $4,000;
Three queries now suggest themselves:
l. What will Jones' family think of
its dady?
2. Isn't this rather a heavy loss of
a deferred dividend?
3. Which is the real hog?"
The above is a good illustration of
the "tontine" or deferred dividend"
plan of life insurance, with the diff
ference that settlement day is gen
orally made at the end of twenty years,
so that your chances for dying are
greater and the chances for the COM
pany to cOntiscate your divided earn
ings are more in their favor. No such
fear with a Massachusetts Mutual
policy for the profits are divided anon
policy for the profits are divided among
the policyholders every year, giving
to each his just proportion. Let us

ture for the asking. Mention your

Mr.. Tison is known all over the state,

This company seems to be exceed
ingly fortunate in securing as their
representatives. in the field good pro-
ducers. Entering the Southern field
only seven years ago the reports from
the state insurance department would
indicate that the company is fast COM
ing to the front. They reported paid
for business written last year in Geor-
gia nearly S4,000,000; an amount which
was exceeded by only two companies
doing business in the state. The Sa-
vannah division. under the manage
ment of Mr.. +. b. Shepard shows
no less remarkable record The COM
panys monthly bulletin giving the rat

Police Court.

III Ills bGlhE IN
Police Court.
Alderman w. L. Grayson is threat
ened with being dragged into Police
Court by the health authorities be-
cause he is trying to raise crop of
hay in the city.
He received yesterday what was
marked the third and final notice" to
have his weeds cut If he does not
comply the alternative is a case
against him in Police Court The
alderman was not at all pleased with
the notice and he called at the health
office to complain to Chief Sanitary In
spector John J. Stafford.
Don't your inspectors know the
difference between a fine crop Of hay
and weeds?" Alderman Grayson de-
manded. Il have not cut that hay.
and l am not going to cut it until It
gets in condition to be cut"
There was Indignation written all
over his usually genial countenance.
He was not only indignant at the per-
emptory order, but also at the way his
hay crop was designated.
