This property is one OF the most at
+ractive sites for home building now
available in this city. The elevation
Of the land insures excellent drainage
and fine outlook. These lots are within
II minutes walk from Water street
and are on the car line to the Insane
hospital and Tcgus. The field adJoins

road. while water. gas and electricity
will follow every lot.
All this is of interest to Augusta. The
city is full of people, and expansion
is important if the city is to grow. At
least 100000 will be spent here in the
construction of these houses. Local
labor will be employed and local con-
Germs will be given preference in the
various building lines. Not least in
Importance is the fact that the real
estate valuation of the city will be
largely increased.
A plan of the lots with plans and
specifications for the new houses may
be seen at the Office of the NeWbert
agency.
The enterprise which makes these
building operations possible is certain
ly commendable and worth imitation.

the first time in this city on next
Saturday evening by the Leigh De-
Lacy Co. at the Opera house In "Ihc

papers, denouncing the street railways,

ward, his father demands that he with
draw from active participation in the
campaign telling him that he is the

FEE STATEMENT
HOUSE COMMITTEE REFUSES
TO CHANGE RECORD
SELFISH MOTIVE ADMITTED IN
DAVIS ARGUMENT
Arkansas Senator Denies He Put Own
Interests First in WrangIe
over the Title to
"Sunk Lands"
ASSOCIATED PressI

WASHINGTON. March 2.-Senator
jefferson Davis of Arkansas failed TO-
day to have stricken from the records
of the house committee on publlc
lands a statement he made before the
committee several days ago. when he
appeared to advocate bill introduced
by Representative Oldfeld of Arkan-
sas. ouieting title to about 100000 acres
of swamp lands in the eastern part OF
Arkansas, known as Sunk lands.
Senator Davis statement indicated
that he was to receive fee for MS
services as attorney for the St Fran
els levee board. in the litigation over
the lands The lands in dispute are
claimed in part by the United states,
the St Francis levee board and private
individuals.
1t has been admitted by Senator Da-
Wis that he was the attorney for the
st. Francis levee board of the state OF
Arkansas. which claims title to the
lands under a state grant, and t%
which he brought suit against a num-
ber of persons who had cut timber on
the lands.
on his first appearance before the
committee the record showed that Sem
ator Davis made the following state
ment:
I'VE could not prove our title
confess that there is just that much OF
eefishness in II, To me, because there
is a good fee if can recover the price
of that timber. 1 do not care to whom
it goes. the state of Arkansas or the
St. Francis levee board but would
rather it should go to the st. Francis
levee board. because that is just my
fight
In correcting his testimony Senator
Davis struck out the words because
there is a good fee if I can recover
the price of that timber and substl-
tuted for it the following: Because I
am the attorney for the st. Francis
levee hoard for the recovery of this
timebr"
Senator Davis said he had not used
the words attributed to him, but sew
eral members of the committee dis
agreed with him. The committee held
an executive session and finally voted
practically unanimously not to allow
Senator Davis to make the change
desired.

ton Threatens Life of
Michigan Solon

WASHINGTON, March 2.--Accord-
ing to the physicians in attendance on
Senator Tillman, his condition is SO Sc
rious that he will be compelled to give
up all work for the remainder of the
session. 1t was said that the we'll
known South Carolinian is suffering
from slight progressive paralysis due
to a leakage of blood in the brain
caused by calcfcation Of the arteries.
Another senator whose health is such
as to alarm his friends is William AL
den Smith of Michigan. who suffers from
a serious attack of appendicitis. The
gravity of Senator Smiths case is in
creased by his failure to submit to an
operation as soon as informed by his
physicians that one was Immediately
necessary.
He refused to accept their verdict as
final and waited thirty hours for the
arrival Of his family doctor from Mich
igan to tell him what to do.
Ben Tillman, as he is Familiarity
known. has been a familiar figure in
the United States senate since 1895.
Mr.. smith has been senator since
1907, when he was elected by the Mich
igan legislature to fill out the uneX-
pired term of Russell A. Alger He was
later reelected for a full term. He
was a member of the house of repre-
sentatives from 1895 to 1907
