A sad Case-A Boy Who Can Be
EoofaHuuaA

HeElahmeQs
Yesterday morning = Deputy United States
Marshal brought to this city 3 lad by the
name Of johnson Colts, apparently not over
fourteen years OF age, charged with break
ing open letters and taking money there
from. 1t appears that the boy IS employed
By Mr.. J. ". Brannsn, the Deputy Post
master aud storekeeper az Statesboro, and
was mail rider between StatesbOrO and Hal
cyondale, No. 5, Central Railroad. Some
registered letters have been reported miss
ing, and q decoy was set TO trap the pur-
lOiner, who proved to be this lad.
After rining the letters and obtain
Ing the contents. he returned 20 the store
and spent the money. His employer knew
he had 30 money when be left, snd the fact
that the lad on coming home made no at
temp. 70 conceal the fact that he had
money shows that he could not have appre-
cisted the serious character OF his ofense.
He was taken before United States Commits
siOner AOntmollin, when s statement OF
these facts we're made. We saw the lad,
and are convinced from his statement and
his appearance that bis case calls for the
greatest sympathy. He is IN orphan boy,
and has no relatives in this State that he
knows Of. His mother died several years
ago and MS Istner ABOUT SIX mOntns since.
He SAYS he did not know it was wrong to
take what did not belong to him, as he hsd
never been taught, snd his father
had encouraged and compelled him
from his earliest remembrance to steal.
He seems to be deeply grieved and mortt-
fed st the position he finds himself 10,
which be attributes TO his ignorance and
his early teachings. We have no doubt IL
this 0oy were taken in charge and put to
some suitable employment he could be
made an honest, industrious man.

GENTLEMEN-Your favor of this date ask.
ing certain IL formation respectiDgthe action
OF the stockholders Of the Ocean Steamship
Company is at hand, and, in reply, / beg to
say that the stockholders of said company
met about 10 O'Clock, and, after appointing
a chairman, an election was held for di,
rectors to serve during the ensuing year.
The persons elected were Colonel E. G.
Anderson, Gen. j. F. Gilmer, Gen. E. P.

Subsequently a meeting Of the Board
OF Directors was held and | was
elected President Of the Board. The
minutes OF the last meeting OF the
board were then read and confirmed.
Then some minor business was cted.
and about this time a communication (copy
Of which you i~nclose) was handed to me,
which l Immediately placed In the hands of
the secretary to be read to the board. When
he had read a part of this communication
8 motion was made to lay it on
the table until some more important
business could be transacted. A resolution
was then offered for the issuance of a Ger
ti6cate or document to the Central Railroad
and Banking Company for the sum Of three
million five hundred thousand dollars, upon
which interest is to be paid upon certain
conditions, not to exceed Z per cent. This
resolution was passed, and the document
presented to me for my signature as Presi-
dent. Having grave douots as to the policy
Of issuing such q document, not only on
account OF its being against the interest
Of the company, but IN violation of
the spirit of the laws Of the
State, l asked to have a conference with
General A. r. LawtoD, as counsel of the
Central Railroad Company. This was &C
corded, and after hearing his views, and q
private conference with him, l determined
to resign my position as President of the
company and also as a director, rather than
having any part or lot in issuing the afore-
said document. Very truly yours,
