ginning, but l didn't know it Of
course, until l saw you"
Kate felt panicy as she listened
to the youth. She was three years
older than he but he seemed so sure
of himself that he frightened her.
Was she going to care for him? She
wondered. Was the whole founda-
ton upon which she had built her
life with Dan topping? Was her
theory of one love all through life,
after all, only a theory which wasn't
going to work out even in her own
case
That James Latham was attractive
to her she couldn't deny. Could he,
would he, give her the unshared love
which she now believed she had new
err had from Dan? There was a trace
of bitterness in her thought of Dan
just then. And suddenly the mock
ing face Of Alice took shape in her
mental vision.

Savannah is making desperate

A BUILDING PROGRAM
AIM OF AME2[CUS.

Now is a good time to start
steady building program for Amer
icus. During the winter months
it is not to be expected that &C
tivity along this line will be very
great, but with the approach Of
spring, and the demand for homes
Increasing, the widc-awake bust
ness man cannot go far wrong m
putting his idle money into an IN
Yestment of this sort.
In a foot survey of the city,
without going into the suburbs
at all, we have noticed some ac-
tivity along building lines, notably
business and public construction,
and we suspect that quite a few
residences of the substantial sort
are now in process Of formulation,
this Of course among private citi-
zens who need and must have
homes.
Our view is that there should be
concerted action by building and
loan associations which make
speciality Of building homes for re-
selling on easy terms to the aver
age wagc-earner. This will fix
Americas as a homecoming city,
and will contribute to her growth
as nothing else could do.
We know that the past few years
hae been most unfavorablc TO a
home-bullding and a homecoming
program, but from what we can
gather there is soon to be revival
Of business conditions in general,
which. makes the time and the oc-
casion propitious for Americas to
get busy along the line suggested.
The employee who owns his
home is a ''fxture"-ho sticks. The
training Of new men is expensive.

Quite a little stir was created in
Cotton Avenue yesterday, when a
man with blood in his eye and a
long keen knife in his hand walked in
store and began looking around for
one of the proprietors. The gentle
man whose scalp was demanded saw
the wOuld-be scalper approaching and
being unafmed, he quietly let HIM
self out the back door, and appeared
again with a SO Smith & Wesson.
The trouble between the two was af,
forwards adjusted satisfactorily, and
the matter will likely be allowed to
drop where it is.
Mr.. Walter Joiner, after an alb
sence of twenty-one years, is again

georgia nearly a quarter of a CEN
tury ago.
Joe Henry Jordan, one of the clev-
