w. P. SMITH GETTING FESTIVE.

His Father Not Yet Heard From
Smiths Wife Frequent Visitor at
the Jail.
William 2. Smith, who shot and killed
Frank Rustin, is still in Jail. The MORNING
NEWS announced some days ago that his
father, who lives at Reidsville, in Tatnall
county, had visited his son, and after CON
sultaton with the latter and with Hon. p.
w Medrim, the prisoners counsel, had re-
turned home to arrange for bond, antici-
pating an application for bail.
Mr. Meldrin was asked yesterday if he
had since heard from the elder Smith, and
he said that he had not, nor had he ex-
pected to hear from him so soon. He ex-
planned that Rockville is of of the daily
lines Of communication, thirty-six miles
distant from a railroad. Mr.. Smith, he
said. when he has completed his arrange
ments, will return to Savannah, and thon a
formal application will be made for a re-
lease Of the prisoner on bond. Mr.. Meldrim
was not prepared to say what would be the
result of the application, as that is a matter
wholly in the discretion Of the court.
The prisoner is very FESTIVE under con-
finement. He is visited often by his wife,
who was at the jail Saturday evenin & and

HOGS FIGHT A GATOR.
Three OF Them Try to Save Their Mate
from a Saurians Jaws.


from a Saurian's Jaws.
Cary b. Townsend was in the city yester-
day. He was in Florida last week, and he
brought in a thrilling story Of a fight be-
tween monster alligator and four hogs in
the Chattahoochee river a day or two ago
Mr. Townsend said that he was chatting
with number Of gentlemen on the
balcony of the Rivarsde hotel at Chatta-
hoochee on Friday morning. The hotel IS
at the Florida railway and navigation
company's wharf, Just above the Pensacola
and Atlantic railroad bridge, where the
river steamers land on their trips to and
from Apalachicola. 1t is built on piling
and overooks the river from distace Of
about sixty feet.
All at once from a clump of willows along
the river banks hundred yards above the
hotel there came the loud squealng of
hog, followed by a furious scufiie. The
balOnUy was soon deserted and with several
others Mr.. Townsend was on the spot, just
in time to witness a battle for life between
sixty pound hog and huge saurian, fully
twelve feet long. The hog was bac&ed in
his struggle by four other porkers, which
endeavored to save their companion. The
alligator had fastened his monstrous jaws
on the back OF his victim and was just
dragging him into the water.
39-caliber Winchester rife was the
only gun TO be had, and before it could be
got the reptile was out Of sight He backed
into the river with the hog IN his jaws, fol
lowed by the three other hogs which struck
at the gator with their feet and snapped at
him savagely with their tusks. When the
saurian reached deep water, about ten feet
from the bank, he sank out of sight with
his struggling prey The four hogs, which
had fought so sharply to save their mate,
seemed disconnected at the disappearance of
the gator, and for some minutes they swan
around evidently expecting his return. In
about half an hour the saurian reappeared
about fifty yards away, and several shots
were had at him, but he was too larga to
kill with a 32-cahber ball 1t is the habit
Of the gator, when he captures a victim, to
deposit it at the bottom of the stream,
fastening it if it shows an inclination to
float, and when everything is quiet or
night approaches, to bring it up TO land and
devOur it upon the bank.
Mr.. Townsend is an authority on gators,
but he said that he never saw before fight
like the one he described.

KEEP THE SABBATH HOLY.
Rev. j. w. Simmons Sermon at New
Houston Street Church.

!
Rev. j. w. Simmons of the New Houston
street Methodist church preached sermon
yesterday morning from the text: THE
sabbath was made TOR man and not man
for the Sabbath
1t is evident from this saying Of our
| divine teacher, said the preacher, that the
Sabbath was made for mans pleasure.
There Is no absolute necessity for man to
| labor on that day, and there is nothing
now being done on that dav in the way of
labor which could not be dispensed with.
and dcne on some other day in tho week.
The Creator knew all of mans necessities
when he gave him six days in which to earn
| his living, and ordered that the Sabbath
| day be kept holy. In the institution Of the
Sabbath God meant IL for the benefit of
man and for the good both of his physical
and his spiritual life. 1t has been illustrated
and proven practically that more work can
be done by man or an animal that rests
on the Sabbath, or one day in seven, than
by man or an animal that works day In
and day out from years end to years end.
The Sabbath or day of rest, added the
preacher, was made coeval with man.
When the great Il Am" spoke with Moses
it was distinctly enunciated that mo work
should be done on the Sabbath This law
comes right along the ages and is in force
to-day. IL has never been ahrogated and If
we disregard the IL junction to keep 1t holy
we violate the law. In all OF Christs life
and teachings there is no violation Of the
spirit Of the law. Say rather il was shown
by him that there was a necessity for the
law The works that Christ did on the Sab
bath day were works of mercy and works of
necessity, such as healing the sick and feed
ing the hungry, but such works were no
violation of the law.
The preacher illustrated upon whom this
responsibility falls where men are com
PEELED to work, as III the case of railroads
and workshops employees, by the story of
the killing of man with a skillet the other
day. When put on trial the prisoner could
not tell what made him do it except that
his father had told him to do it,, and he ex-
planned that upon such fathers the moral
responsibility falls. In the course of his
sermon the preacher stated that this is the
only port in all the great shipping marts
where ship is advertised for sale on the
Sabbath day Here too, many mans
time is SO taken up with the business of his
employer that he has no chance to go
to the house OF worship. This he urged
was wrong, and urged upon all those who
have the privilege of attending church not
to fail to make the best OF it. In conclu-
sion, he said that Gods Judgment will
surely come upon that city or state, or
nation, that gets loose from Gods com
mandments; and as people he urged his
hearers to assume greater courage in bray
ing public opinion in tbs loose methods of
said, can afford to endure an affront in his
efforts to keep the Sabbath, but he cannot
afford to break the com nandment to keep
