MAX SAMUELs' BENEFIT.
The Beneficiare Presented With a Gold
Watch, Chain and Locket.


Watch, Chain and Locket.
A very large and enthusiastic audience
assembled at the Fashion theatre last
night in compliment to the manager, Mr..
Max Samuels, whose benefit was set for
that evening. In addition to the ordin-
airy strong programme favorably COM
mended in Tuesdays issue, Mr.. James
MoGraw exhibited some remarkably fine
clog dancing, Freddie Arlington ap-
peared In some OF her specialties. and
Theo. Artzt and Claude Howard engaged
In a wrestling match. The match was
undecided, as Mr.. Howard was out OF
condition, and the wrestlers perspired
SO freely that Ii was impossible for
either of them to get fair hold. Frank
Sparrow was announced to appear, and
would have done so, but while driving
on South Laredo street he was thrown
from buggy and had his shoulder dis
located.
An interesting break was made in the
programme when Mr.. J. w. Berkeley
came forward, and In very neat and eff.
fectiye speech, presented Mr.. Max Sam
uels with gold watch aud chain on be-
half of his employees and his friends In
token OF their esteem. Mr.. Samuels,
who was evidently mach affected and
pleased at the gift, acknowledged 1t in
most suitable terms. The watch Is a
very fine one of the Howard make, with
heavy gold cases. The inner case is in
scribed as follows:

The County Site of Coffee.
IRON. ne Ba1lsy Ca Banner.

from he Ba1Iey Ga Banner.
While in Coffee county last week we
learned that a good many people are in
favor Of changing the county line on the
North and move the county site on the
Brunswick and Western railroad.
Here are some OF the reasons assigned
Coffee county is badly located with re-
gard 20 public convenience. The Macon
aud Brunswick railroad runs through the
northeast part OF the county, and the
Brunswick and Western road runs
through the south end Of the county, about
eight miles from the line on The south.
Most OF the wealth and population OF the
county IL on the Ocmugee river and on
the Bruns wick and Western railroad.
The county site Is between the two
railroads, Is miles from one and % from
the other, IN the poorest section of the
county, with the 17-mile creek on one side
and the Satilla river on the other. The
people do most OF their business on the
river and railroads, and seldom 20 to the
county site but twice year, 10 attend SUI
periOr Court. The country about Doug
lass does not even support store, There
IS not 50 much as a store at the county
site Of Coffee county. People have no in
terest there and they don't 10. Ii the
county site was on the railroad n good
little town would be built up, the wealth
which it would naturally make and that
which would come would relieve the taxes
in the county several per cent, besides
other advantages.
Coffee county has two railroads In her
borders and the county should he so ar
ranged ar 90 put the county site on one
of them. Pubnc convenience and the I'M
terest OF the people demand 10. ithas been

These suggestions were made b. US by

worth.

WHY AM EdLtor Id Out.
FROM The Coginoton tGa.) Eat1rpris,

FROM me C0otngtoft (Gd.) EnterDFie6s
Some explanation is necessary as to
why we remained hid out in the old fields
during the Christmas holidays. At an
early hour on the morning of Dec. %
Thomas Patrick sent word that ESQUIRE
Samuel Chain, the oldest BRiliff perhaps
IN the world, was on his way to COving-
ton with his old thread-bare, sOre-back,
run-down-In-the-heel yarn about having
skilled a squirrel, gong to cook half of it
and invite the whole of Social Circle down
TO breakfast" Usually IL takes the
squire about ten hours to relate this
story, giving details and splitting every
two minutes requires five hours more.
Nearly every man in Newton county has
felt the weight of bis four-inch auger, in
the shape OF this squirrel yarn, and
when 1t becomes known that he has
remodeled it and proposes to 90 ont or
a"relating tour, ever body hides out and
leaves the Squire all the room he could
desire. Such WAS the case last week,
and we lit out with about forty others.
One man, Edward McJunkin, failed to
get of IN time and SO MIR. Chain had
regular picnic. He talked Mack out of
his place OF business into Horizons res
taurant; he talked him through and
through the courthouse, told him how
long he mad lived ia Newton and Jasper,
related his experience with The stock law,
told how long he had been baliif to the
grand jury, and commenced anew on the
squirrel breaktas." Mack groaued and
granted, fOamed at the mouth, aad like
historic JOB, cursed the day he was
2orn. The squire looked happy
indeed, joy was pictured on bis pleasant
face, As arm in arm be jOurneyed with
poor Mack from place to place, talking.
continually talking, as he went. Mack
finally got an opportunity to get away
while the Squire was in the act OF taking
a chew Of tobacco, aud il ever a man run
for his life McJunkin must have been that
man, Tor he says two hours more such
boring would have put him into sausage
meat. He gets red ia the face when he
hears the name Of Chain, sleeps in bis
boots and OVercoat, and keeps Texas
pony tied to the knob OF his back door.
ever bearing in mind the undisputed fact
that "serf- preservation is the first law Of
nature" Reader, this is why we left the
town.

Judge John r. Fippin, or Memphis,
who has been in Mexico for about two
years, where be owns an interest in a
gold mine, has returned, and is spending
few days with his family in Browns
willie. The st. Louis Globe Democrat con-
tains the following particulars Of how the
Judge and his party were robbed;
ale was travelling from iuadalupey Cal
vo to Parral with two men, and had with
him some s. 500 in bullion very rich in
gold. He was riding a short distance in
advance OF the tram and had just com
menced the descent of a slight emipence,
the ground Of which hid him from the
sight of those behind him, when two men
jumped In front of him with pointed guns
and ordered him to dismOunt instantly
and keep quiet. Resistance was out OF
the question and would have resulted in
instant death. The Judge obeyed, and
was the n made to crouch down with his
assailauts, who now awaited the appear
ance of the train. As soon as 1t reached
the crest of the eminence the two men, AZ
sisted by four more Woo had kent hidden
from their view until then, commanded
the two men 10 surrender. This was COM
piled with by the two men, who saw no
chance of defense and perceived that the
Judge had already fallen into the ambus-
cade.
"The party was then relieved of their
arms and marched down to the bottom OF
! a deep canyon, where thew we're despOiled
| OF everything, thrown on their backs and
! tied hand and foot. With many threats
/ the robbers departed, taking with them
| the bullion, animals and the Judge

! one man TO guard the prisoners until they
/ should be well on their way. This man
stood by them several hours, assuring

IL Loses It's Suit for so, OOO.O Against
the Emigration Com missiOners.

From the Rego York World.
The long war between the Commissions
ers of Emigration and the steamship COM
panies has been finally settled by the dis
missal, by Judge Wallace, yesterday
morning, of the suit OF the Liverpool, New
York and Philadelphia Steamship Com.
pany against the Commissioners for the
recovery of 81, 100000 with interest, which
would bring the amount claimed 70 near
ly $4,000. 900. The trouble grew out of the
State law of lS47, which levied a tax Of 81
a head on Immigrants brought TO this
city. The cOnsttutioaality OF this tax
was argued later in the Supreme Court by
Daniel Webster and others for tue Steam
sh ip companies and resulted in a victory
for the latter.
In 1851 an act was passed exacting a
bond for every passenger, but allowing
the vessel owners to commute by payment
OF 81 so a head for Immigrants This was
in operation until 1879, when it was like
wise declared unconstitutional upon the
ground mat the constitution Of th3 Uni
ted States vested the exclusive control Of
commerce In Congress. Some years la
ter the suit just ended was brou ght TO re-
cover money paid under the act of 1851.
The defense was tbreefOld-hrst. that
congress pASSe0 an act IN 1910 FalfuaIlnR
the collection OF this money; second, that
the money, although paid under protest,
was paid voluntarily, there being no pro-
cess to compel payment and none law
fully enforceable; third, that the money
was paid by the immigrants and expend-
ed for tgem.
On the first trial in 1881 Judge Sbipman
decided that an act OF Congress valida-
ting the collection Of head-mOney was
constitutional and therefore bar TO the
suit. On appeal the United States Su-
preme Court held the case under advise
ment over year aud then decided that
the cOmpany's declaration or compliant

recovery of such he8d-mOney aud that the
issue could not be passed upon until the
