The Chathams' Centennial Orator


Hon. John K. Ward, who will deliver
the Chathams' Centennial GRAFTON to-
night, is in many respects very remark
able man. Fifty years ago, when this
organization celebrated the completion of
half century of its existence, be de-
liVered the grafton. There are few men,
wing or dead. who have delivered ora
tons, separated by half century, before
the same organization. Mr.. Ward is an
old man, of course, but he carries his
years well. There is that In his appear
ance and movements that indicates
8 rengtd and vigor.
Savannah has cause to remember Mr.
Ward with gratitude. Not only was he
at one time one OF her most distinguished
citizens, but, as her Mayor he estab-
lished order where there was dis.
order, lifted the town from the
position OF badly governed village
so that OF a well regulated city. 1t
was his strong hand that made the rou g bis
OF the city's population understand thai
the laws must be respected. When he
was plac at the head OF municipal
|
served the name, and the Iawless ele ment
ran the town. 1t was soon discovered,
however, that new order o
things had been established, and
that the law-abiding and law-respecting
sentiment was in the ascendency. The
police force which exists lay had its
beginning under his administration, and
the first street paving was done at his
suggestion.
| Savannah has grown, OF course, since
he had hand in guiding her affairs, but
he has the satisfaction OF knowing that he
contributed greatly to her growth and
prosperity. The reforms which be inaug-
urated were productive OF good results
results so marked that any old citizen
can point them out.
Mr.. Ward was welcomed by a host oil
old friends, but there were very few
who were more pleased to see him
than were those OF his old ser.
wants who are still alive. They re.
member him as kind and generous mas
ter, and he had not been long IN the city
when they sought him and expressed tneiI
joy a. meeting hIm agaiu. Many promi-
nent men have claimed a home In Savan.

At Darien, Ga, side by side sat puny
white man and a burly negTe1s. The
mans face bore marks OF deep dissipa-
ton, and but for cOmical squInt there
would have been nothing worthy OF
notice in the eXpresslO less c0untenance.
In his hand could be seen stick OF extra
ordinary dimensions-so large, in fac, =
to create doubt In the spectacle IS mind
whether the man belonged 10 the stick or
the stick to the man. The negress look d
lovingly down on her little captured hero.
Wonderful to relate. the little fellow had
fallen prey to the charms Of this elderly
clumsy daughter OF Ethiopia, and they
were, when seen, about TO el0pe.
The hero was Capt. Peter K. Miller, Of
the British bark Mary Ann, and the hero
Inc negress named Jeanne Jones.
The bark Mary Ann had loaded With
cargo OF pitch pine at Darien, and after
three or four weeks of riotous dissipation
the Captain deserted the vessel when
ready to proceed TO sea.
When hearing of the Captain's depart
ure the vessels consignee at Darlen teie-
graphed to the bank In Savannah TO stop
the payment of certain checks in the Cap
tain's possession, but 1t seems the checks
in question had already been cashed at
the bank.
The British Vice Consul cabled the facts
to the owners and they instructed him to
let the mate take charge Of the vessel and
carry her nome.
1t is not prob bic that criminal proceed
ings will be instituted against Miller in
this country, but should he return t" Da-
rien he may be favored with coat OF tar
so as to resemble his burly inamOrata
more in point of color
