ROAD is NEEDED
ON TYBEE ISLAND
WOULD HELP THE RESORT.
EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO HAVE
COUNTY TAKE MATTER UP.

Those Interested in Savannah. as
Well as in Tybee, Confident THAI
Driveway on Island Would Be of
Great Benefit-Future of Island
Demands There shOuId Be Public
Road to LazarettO Creek-Chair-
man of Council Dixon Among
Those Who See Necessity of Road.
A good road or driveway at Tybee
is badly needed, and it is probable
that an effort will be made to have the
County Commissioners give the matter
serious consideration.
Not only those who have interests
at Tybee are anxious for such a road
but those who have the interests of Sa-
Vannah in mind realize that such
road would be a great thing for the
city as well as the island
Savannah is greatly interested in
Tybee,' said Chairman of Council
James M. Dixon, in discussing the
project yesterday. 1T is not only its
most popular seaside resort which at
tracts many people to it's wave wash
ed shores from all parts of the state
e'AiA Iby VI lilSS lIlGlIl also 10 SdV3ll-
man, but its hotels and other resorts
are contributors to the trade of the
city. OF late years the island has had
another feature that adds to its at
tractlVeness and also to the business
of Savannah. That is Fort Screven.
Wants of the Garrison.
THE officers and men of the gar
rison have many wants which they
supply from this city and the constant
work that is being done at the fort by
contractors for the government is
worth a great deal from a money
standpoint. In view of all these mat
tiers everything should be done to make
Tybee attractive. There is one thing
however, that is very much needed.
namely, a good public road. There is
really no place to drive except on the
ocean beach.
Until the building of the Tybee
railroad there was good public road
from the light house to Lazaretto creek.
but it was either taken for the rail-
road right of way or dug into borrow
pits to obtain material for its en-
bankment During the Civil War the
Federals corduroyed that road so as
to be able to haul the siege guns used
against Fort Pulaski over it, and that
made it fairly good road until the
building of the railroad.
Tybee's Future Demands It.
1.-THE future of Tybee demands that
there should be public road
through the island, especially to Lag
arctic creek, which is the only safe
landing place for boats in bad wealth
er. With a road from the fort to
Lazaretto Point and the improvement
of some of the street ways in the town
of Tybee, there would be a good drive
way from one end of the island to the
other.
"The County Commissioners could
doubtless get the Central of Georgia
Railway to cooperate with them in
reopening the old public road, and if
that should be done there is no ques-
ton that the government would build
a good road along the line of the Fort
Screven reservation"

sa d he thought it was for interest.

The witness was asked concerning
Ehe $1,000 drafts the First Ma

for other banks just prior to the
failure
Isn't it true that Colonel Burgwyn
(the bank examiner found these drafts
and that checks had been filled out
and not forwarded? ?"
The witness said he supposed it was
true, but he did not remember the
amount.
A few days before the failure of the
bank, the defendant drew his check for
a personal account for $349.S0; this
being a portion of draft of $489SO his
bank had collected and failed to remit

We're in other banks as collateral Sc

by Breese that not more than $4,000
of the notes were insolvent.
J. II. Stallings said Maj. Breese told
Col. Burgwyn that Shadrack Kemp.
the cOlOre6 carriage driver who signed
several notes, was a prosperous farmer
in Pennsylvania county. Breese had
denied the alleged conversation during

WOUNDED BY
NEGRO He KILLED.
A. C. L. Detective Bryan in Hospi-
tai at WaycrOss.

~ ~ 49, ASA III nus pA-
tai at WaycrOss.
Waycross, Ga, July 27.-L. B. Bry-
an, the Atlantic Coast Line detec-
tive, who was shot by a negro on the
excursion train near Albany, Mon
day night, was brought to Waycross
this morning from Triton, and is at
the Atlantic Coast Line hospital.
Mr.. Bryan's injuries are not at all
serious, he receiving only a flesh wound
in the leg. The report that he had
shot two negroes during the row is
not true. One negro was instantly
killed by Bryan, however, four bullets
lodging in his body. Those who wit
messed the shooting state that Mr..
Bryan was entirely justffiable. as
the negro was drunk, and commenced
shooting first, after Bryan and the
conductor of the train had ordered
him to keep quiet.
This is the second negro Mr.. Bry-
an has killed within the past sixty
days. The first one was killed in the
Atlantic Coast Line yard, here, while
resisting arrest. Several of the ne
groes in this city swore out a war
rant against Bryan for the first kill
ing. and he is under bond awaiting
trial in the next Superior Court.
