The attempt to attach significance to the
fact that two gentlemen, who owned one

company, were members of the board of the
county commissioners, would seem to call
for notice by me, being one Of two referred
to. Tho danger most feared and which

was the appointment of a third member of

reference to the inuendo implied should
be necessary To those, however. who
consider that a failure to deny is equal to
a confession it nay be wise to say a word.

AN UNRAFFLED DIAMOND.
4 Brace OF New York Sharpers Who
Worked q Slick Game.

Worked q Slick Game.
About sixty people in Savannah were
taken in by a sharper from New
York this week, and the sharp went
by the name of c. w. Rice. He
landed here about three months ago,
and represented himself to be sole agent for
Yelrs liver pills, and he did some work as
jewelry vender, having among other notions
a patent watch chain catch He wore
nigh grey beaver was quite a patron of the
saloons, and when not looking out for vic
Tins made Sam Lees laundry, on BrOuGhton
street, his headquarters. When the Chinese
laundrymen, were litigGnts in the city court
and in Justice Naughtln's court, Rice was a
prominent figure, and he was accompanied
by sharper with piercing black eyes, who
prided himself on his faultless attire, and
whose suavitY was scarcely equalcd by Rice.
About two weeks ago the two circulated
around in the western rart of the city So

their victims taking more than one chance,
but their actions We're suspicious, and a the

GENTLEMEN-An editorial in the Times
of yesterday referring to my application to
Gov. Gordon for appointment Of myself as
a commissioner of this county contains GER
tam structures on yourselves which are at
tributed to me, and which do not fairly
present the opinions expressed by myself
On the contrary, left Il, they are without
connected thought, they do injustice TO
yourselves-fOr each Of whom have hlgn
personal regard-and place me III the posi-
ton Of being animated by a narrow preju
dice, which am sure is far from any lnten-

the control Of gentlemen representing spe-
clal lines of interest. That a great many
Interests exis ed in the county outside of the

one representative on the board; ana that
however upright any gentleman might be,
1t was only natural that lie should see the
necessties tor public work along those lines
with which he was personally most familiar
ms does not in any manner involve dis
honesty or COLLISION, nor is II any reflection
upon ones integrity that he does not take
any great interest in works Of whose need
he knows little or nothing and IA, in the
case of another commissioner for Which he
cares nothing.
There are important works connected
with the opening of highways and improve
ment Of the roads OF this county which
receive now but little consideration, simply
because our board of county commissioners
feel more intere in other matters than
they do in these roadway improvements.
Yet the very prosperity of our county, and
to some extent, the cost of the city market
food supply, is involved in the improvement
of our roadways.
If anyone can tell me how my friend, DR..

practice to look after these works through
the county, or how nv aged and loved fell
