Increased Demand for Fall ana

Despite the fact that mercury partial

short -comings of the day previous,
there was still a slight touch of fall
about the weather. And for this every
merchant SRI Savannah is returning
thanks for with it came a demand
for the fall and winter goods. goods
which have been in stock for several
weeks, but for which there has here
tofore been no demand.
With the lower temperatures and the
keen winds, however, people began to
remember that the days of summer had
ended and that winter was fast APP

the merchants windows caught the
eyes of passers-by and the sales be-
gan to liven up. The heavier articles

quently during the latter days of the
week and satisfaction shone in the
faces of the merchants as they watch
ed the vain efforts Of mercury to regain
his standing about the 80 degree mark.
There has as yet been no great de-
nland for overcoats, but the fall suit
ings have been ordered and the cau-
tious inquiries as TO the price of over
coats shows where the thoughts are.
The stock offered this year at all of
the stores is varied and elaborate and
the light touch of cold weather has
been Just what was needed to best
advertise them to the people. While
many Savannahians are regretting the
fact that temperatures are falling or,
there is universal rejoicings among
the merchants.

LABOR FORCE HAS
BEEN DOUBLED
ON THE NEW CITY HALL.
BUILDING WILL BE UNDER ROOF
by THE FIRST OF NEW YEAR.

Architect Witcover Now Estimates
That it VIII be Completed Entire
ly by May L OF Next Year, Which
is Earlier Than Was Thought
Most of the Heavy Stone Work
Has Been Finished and the Build
ing VIII Now Progress a Great
Deal Faster-The Architect Says it
Has Gotten On as Rapidly as He
Expected, Considering the Delays
I'm Foundation Work.
The new City Hall will be under roof
by the first of next year. This is the
opinion of the architect. Mr.. H. w.
Witcover. and he has so informed the
city officials. Mr.. witcover fixes May
1 as the date by which the City Hall
will be completed. judging by the pro-
gress already made.
The building is now up to the top
Of the first story above Bay street.
All the stone and brick work has been
completed up to this point with the
exception of a little work that will
have to be done on the front. The
wallis at that point are not up quite
SO high as on the rest of the building.
Work during the last few weeks has
progressed rapidly and it will go on
even faster, now that most of the
heavier stone work has been finished.
As Fast as Expected.
''They have gotten on with the build
ing as rapidly as l expected" said
Architect Witcover yesterday. "Of
course, they We're very slow with the
foundations, that was tedious and diff
ficult work. After the foundation
were finished they reached the street
line quicker than / thought they would
and since then the work has progress
ed as rapidly as could be expected.
1T will get on "a great deal faster
now, While those large stones were
being laid only limited number of
men could be employed. Now that
the point has been reached where the
smaller stones are to be used more
men will be employed. The large der
rick has been used altogether hereto
fore, but with the smaller size stone
several smaller derricks will be en-
ployed. They are portable affairs and
viii be moved about on the walls where
they are needed"
Labor Force Doubled.
During the last week the number of
men employed on the building was
doubled and more are to be employed
during the coming week. Mr.. A. p.
Stewart, the sub-contractor, said some
time ago, when complaint was made
that the work was progressing too
slowly that he was working Just as
many men ON the building as he could
employ and that more would be put
on just as soon as the heavy stone
work was disposed of. This is now
being done and the building within the
next month will go up at rapid rate.
All the steel that is TO be used
in the building is either already on
hand or is now in transit. The stone
is arriving just as fast as it can be
used. No more trouble is expected
from the material supply, as a large
part of it is alrea y here. After the
building is rooted, Mr.. Witcover esti-
mates four months as ample time for
completing it. BY May /, therefore

NEW MANUFACTURING
INDUSTRY COMES HERE,
Mems Hats Being Made By a New
Firm in Savannah.

Mems Hats Being Made BY a New
Firm I'm Savannah.
The latest addition to Savannah
manufacturing industries is hat fac
tory, where wool hats, soft and stiff
are manufactured for the trade. The
new concern has just opened at 10
Congress street, west. Messrs. T. w.
Merrill & Co., are the proprietors, and
have already arranged for the manu-
facture of hats.
The firm is composed Of Messrs. T.
w. Merrill and A. T. Wilson, both Of
whom are practical hat makers, and
who for the present viii do all Of the
work in their factory.
Mr.. Merrill, who has been engaged
in the hat manufacturing business at
Norfolk, Va, for the last four years,
has worked in some of the largest hat
factories in the country, as has his
partner, MIR. Wilson, and both talk
Interestingly of the possibilities of the
industry in this section.
I'VE came here" said Mr.. Merrill,
because we recognize in Savannah a
good opening for future business, and
largely increased manufacturing
plant. Until we get started we pro-
pose to do all of the work ourselves,
manufacturing principally for the re-
tail trade. Our capacity is about thir-
ty dozen hats per week. in any shape
or style and our prices will range from
81 to 81.
I'VE maintain that we can manu-
facture a hat for 81 that is equal to
any on the market at any price, and
if we can retail our output for the
present 1t will be only short time be-
fore we will enlarge our facilities so
as to accommodate the wholesale trade.
We have already been approached on
the subject Of manufacturing for job
bers and are considering the advisable
ity of increasing our plant at once.
"All of our machinery Is in and we
will commence work next week. We
can supply a hat to order In a few
hours time and this will be our busi-
ness largely at the start
Mr., Julius Krouskoff OF the Krous-
koff Millinery Company, engaged in
the manufacture of ladies' hats, said
yesterday that he considered the man
ufactures of hats. both for men and
women. the most promising manufac-
turing opening in the South. I'VE en-
Joy many advantages here over North
ern manufacturers OF these articles, y
said Mr.. Krouskoff, "of which cheaper
labor is the principal one. We have
Just closed a contract with a Savannah
firm, who are engaged IN the wholesale
business, for $4,000 worth Of ladies'
hats, and I am certain that this con-
Germ, which has half million dollars
capital behind IL, would gladly take
half interest in q manufacturing plant
which would be Of much advantage to
them.
IF I could find a practical hat man
ufacturer with means who was will
ing TO 70 into the manufacturing
business here, ! would gladly take half
the stock in such a concern, and my
experiences in travelling over the South
ern country for the past few years as
sures me that Il would be one of the
most successful business ventures Of
the kind offered"
Mr.. Krouskoff says that all through
the territory which he has travelled he
has found a tendency on the part OF
retailers TO buy exclusively from
Southern manufacturers where possi-

know when he has had enough?
The Pilgrim Fathers, 1 believe, had
a quaint saying to the effect that you
should always rise from the table feel
ing as If you could eat some more.
But the question is, how much

Just when to stop?
That's the point
The rule is wrong, because IT'S no
rule at all.
1t is inexact and unscientiflc.
1t is likely to lead to the dangerous
habit of eating too little.
And eating too little--or digesting
too little, which amounts to the same
thing--is the cause of nine-tenths of
the diseases from which humanity
suffers to-day.
What is disease?
It is simply uneven balance between

True. dear friend, but you don't di-

So to make food do you good, you
must take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
