Remember that it is worry, not work
that kills. Get your life purposely in
sured, then you will stop worrying
Those who are safely insured do live
longer, for they do not worry concern
ing the welfare of their wives and the
little ones. Life insurance gives pro-
lection continuously and instead of be-
ing an expense it is in reality and sure
ly saving of money. Even if you
are poor or in debt. you had best not
procrastinate, waiting for a favorable
time-it may never come. Life insur-
ance is the one thing the sheriff can
not touch and its possession may save
many times its value to your estate.
1t is better than trying to accummu-
late competency in a savings bank,
gives equally as good, frequently bet
ter, interest. with the protection
thrown in. 1t secures you competen-
cy for your own old age.
When you fail to insure your house,
you take all the chances, but when you
fail to insure your life, your wife and
babies take all the risk. Have you
ever had the laws of Massachusetts
explained to you? They throw mora
safeguards around policy-holders than
the laws of any other state in the I'm
ion. Let US tell you about them. Send

HOW TO GET RICH.
Lesson 3. Chnpter 2.

Two or three lessons on How to Get
Rich" was all that was intended when
the series began. but so much is to be
said about real estate in Savannah that
the subject has grown, and it will re-
quire several more before the interest
ing topic is fully elucidated.
Practical illustrations showing what
lines is an effective way of impressing
upon the mind of another man what
he may do.
Some years since a young business
man was walking up, or down, a street,
and met an older man. The younger
mans face had a look of perplexity. The
party whom he met said: John what's
the trouble, you look as though you are
either short of money, or have more
than you can use in your business. !"
The younger man replied, Il am bet
ter off than ever before in my life; out
of debt and with a thousand dollars in
bank" Well. if being out of debt
worries you, you had better go in debt.
Buy something and get rid of your
cash." So the younger man sought
a real estate man, and inquired what
he had for sale. He was told that there
were four nice lots which could be
bought for $500 each.
The would-be purchaser thought the
price very steep, but after haggling
awhile, bought the four lots at the price
asked and paid his $1,000, on account
giving notes at six, twelve and eighteen
months for the unpaid balance. He
met his obligations as they became
due from the profits derived from his
business. He held the lots for ten
years, and then sold them for an aver
age of $4,000 apiece. He says (he is
still here) that out of the $4,000 he
received for the property $4,000 was
clear profit, as he would not have
saved the other $1,400, that he gave
notes for and afterwards paid, had he
not run in debit
OF course it is folly to run in debt
unless you see where the money to
pay your Indebtedness is coming from.
but if you see a way to make money
by mourning a debt, it is just as great
a folly not to take the chance.
Real estate is not like other riches,
which sometimes take wings and ty
away" You can never make a total
loss, or worse than a total loss. like
those who invest CD in cotton futures
and other purchases on margins. A
lot on Thirty-ninth street, east, may
be a nest egg to a future fortune in
real estate. If you don't like Thirty
ninth street, buy a lot somewhere

Matter of Sub-contrnct TOT the
Plumbing Was Discussed.
No decision was reached at the meet
ing of the City Hall Committee yes
terday in regard to the sub-contract
for the plumbing.
The matter was discussed for more
than an hour, but at the conclusion
of the meeting it was announced that
nothing had been decided.
Col Garrard, the city attorney, VIII
be asked for an opinion on the case.
1t is very likely, however, that the
contract will go TO the Atlanta firm.
which is $1,000 less than the local bids.
1t is not thought the Council com
mittee can interfere with the award
ing of the contract by the contracting
firm that IS putting up the building,
unless the difference in the price
should be made good.
Council. of course, could not do that.
1t Is not thought that there is any
doubt as to how the committee Will
decide the matter. The opinion OF the
city attorney is probably asked for to
back up the committee, II there is any
row raised because the contract goes

Chatham Real Estate and Improve.

and $3.50 a Month, 32nd Near
Price.
1t is not always possible for the first
home man builds to be as good as
he would like to have, but if he will
start with an humble home and pay
rent, when he has paid for it we are
always glad to help him get better
one, and before many years have
elapsed he can be the owner of a
more valuable piece of property than
he would ever have been able to have
lived in had he continued a renter.
Therefore select one of these lots and
make your beginning When you have
paid in to us as much as one or two
hundred dollars we will lend you the
money to build, and the chances are
you can pay for a better house than
you are renting now, for as little
money as you pay as rent, and be its
possessor in reasonable time, thus
providing for your old age home, or
something that brings you money on
which to live.
You may be a young man or
young woman, unmarried, and feel
that you do not need a home, but you
do need to save money in a safe way
and a way in which the money will
increase. Why not take two of these
lots and save SIS a month? In a few
years you may want to go into bust
ness for yourself, and you will have
something you can readily convert into
cash, and into more cash than you
have put into them. Or we could lend
you the money to improve your prop

Charged with cheating and swind-
ling, A. B. Johnston, negro, who has
had a stand in the City Market. was
arrested by Patrolman r. B. Davis
yesterday.
The arrest was made upon the re-
quest of George Vickery a young white
man employed at the Pierpont Manu-
featuring Company.
Vickery claims Johnston gave him a
Spanish dollar in change and refused
TO make it good. when he called his
attention to it. The young man says
he is positive Johnston gave him the
money. He said he had just been paid
off and had no change.
Vickery made a purchase from john
ston, gave him IS bill and then dis
covered the Spanish dollar when he
went to make a purchase in another
part of the market, only few min
utes after getting his change from
Johnston. The negro denies giving him
the dollar.

CORNER STONE
DOUBT VANISHES
MASONIC RECORDS CLEAR.
SHOWN POSITIVELY THAT THE
STONE WAS LAID.

Although no Trace of stone Has
Been Found Since Work of De-
, mOIishing the City Exchange Was
Begun, Records of the Masons
Cannot BE Mistaken - Fact That
There Was n stone Does Not EN-
plain Its Disappearance, How
ever.
Although no trace has yet been dis
covered of the much discussed corner
stone of the City Exchange there can
be no longer any doubt that one ex-
listed.
Something about the corner stone
has been found in the Masonic records
and the question of the disappearance
of the stone is the one to be solved
now, since it is positively established
that there was such a stone.
Few people believe that the stone
was stolen, no one can understand how
St could have escaped the notice Of the
workmen, and the foreman in charge
of the work is certain that the stone
was not destroyed by charge OF dyn-
Rmite.
Records Are Clear.
Yet one of these things, or something
more improbable. must have happen
ed. since there was a stone. For the
records on the subject are clear. The
stone could not have been moved
while the building was in position. and
of necessity must have either been
moved since the work of destruction
was begun. or must be in the debris
now.
All hope of finding the stone has not
been abandoned and a uniformed man
Sc still being kept on constant guard.
The city officials, and those who are
engaged in the work of excavating,
fear that the corner stone mystery will
never be solved but it is intended to
continue the search until the corner
stone for the City Hall is ready to be
put in position.
Proof of Assertion.
That there was a corner stone is
shown by the records of the "celebra-
lion of Masonic festivals and other
noted occasions in Georgia by the
Grand Lodge" to be found in "Ahimen
Recon-" prepared by the late Grand
Master w. S. Rockwell, father of Maj.
Nv. S. Rockwell of this city. The rec
ord reads:
June 4. 1799.-The Grand Lodge con-
Vened IN consequence or an invitation
by the Mayor and Aldermen to lay the
corner stone of the City Exchange.
The members present went in process
sion attended by the corporation. when
the stone was put in its place in the
usual Masonic form by the Most Wor-
shipful Grand Master William Steph-
iens aided by the grand wardens, and
accompanied by the brethren. after
which the grand master delivered an
applicable grafton. The plate deposited
with the stone had the following in
Ecription:
"A. l.. 57e9.
A. d. 1893.
OF American Independence, the 23rd
year.
