There mas been a strike among the coal miners
this week because they objected to the COM
pany's retaining ten days of their Wages. IT
was not general strike, as number of men
continued at work. We understand they will
all go to work Monday.
sno. W. Dean, DR., has been appointed agent
ON the Z. 4 A. r. r. at Corder. AS he is only
about IL years Of age and has bscp d clerk for
some time In the Office at that place, it is quite
compliment to him to be advanced to the re-
sponslble position OF ''head boss'' while so
young in years. "BiOod will tell ," He ia
descendant from family as Industrious and
honest as any in the land. We expect to hear of
his further advancement in the near future.
MIR. Lonny Lee has been very Ill, supposedly
from overheating. He was taken down a few
days ago with epilepnc attacks, which left him
paralysed In the right side, and both deaf and
dumb. peculiarity in the case is that the
paralysis has not been continuous, but that once
in a sort of trance he both spoke and heard for
something like an hour, but as soon as the trance
like condition passed away he again lost his
hearing and speech. DR.. Fulkerson thinks in
spite OF the singularity of the case that he will
recover.
All the arrangements for the fair are compile
ted. The race track is in excellent condition:
the grand stand is ready, as are the floral hall
and ladies' cottage. Good shades have been
erected' and the management promises to keen
the grounds nicely sprinkled. SO that there shall
be no annoyance from dust. There are alreaiy
30 many horses on the ground that new stalls

coon EFFECTS OF ENFORCING
THE LAWS.
Only one Arrest Reported Yester-
day.

The dete rmination evinced by Hon.
Henry B. Tompkins, Judge Of the Superior
Court Of Chatham county, and Mr.. Walter
G. Charlton, Solicitor General, to vigorously
enforce the laws prohibiting the sale Of
liquors on Sundays las well as the laws re-
garding carrying concealed weapons and
keno establishments) is already pro-
ducing notable results. For
many weeks past scarcely a Sunday has
passed without our being called upon to
chronicle a serious row, and very frequently
a murder, while reports from the barracks
on that day have invariably shown that
establishment to be filed with criminals
charged with various offenses. and, without
exception, offenses traceable directly to the
effects of whisky sold In defiance of law.
Yesterday there was a marked change for
the better. The tipping shops and low
grOggeries being all closed, the city was
remarkably quiet. Good order prevailed
everywhere, and only one arrest was made
duriOg the entire day-s white man for fast
riding in the streets.
This speaks volumes for the new order of
things so commercially inaugurated. We
feel confident there will be no abatement
in the zeal manifested to rigidlY enforce
the laws without regard 70 person, race or
color, and in q short time Savannah will, we
doubt not, be the most orderly city in the
State
