he is insane

year." said New York drummer yester

Drunk, living in the street." is not an
uncommon charge to be found opposite the
names of many brought to the ba tracks,
and this was entered with Tom ChiSholm's
name last night. The cool weather seems
to have brought with it an increased appe-
tite for the use of knock-down whisky, and
the majority Of arrests are of those who
have TO be hauled to the barracks.
The weather yesterday was pleasant. A
slight showet fell in the forenoon, but it
was clear throughout the cotton region as
whole, rain being reported only from
Alapana in the Savannah district. There
was no frost reported by the signal office
last night, and the freezing point has not
yet been reached in the cotton belt The
indications for today are: Fair, warmer
weather and southwesterly winds.
The Georgia Hussars meeting last night
was largely attended. The question of Wis
iting Augusta during the exposition was
presented, and the troop was apparently a
unit in favor of going, provided sufficieEl
number of members cOu spare the time
from their business TO make the trip. The
company will be cOnYRSsed, and if it is
ascertaIned that a sufficient number of
troopers can make it convenient to attend,
it is more than probable that the people of
Augusta will see Georgia's crack cavalry
company. There will be a meeting Thurs
day night at which the corps will take def
mite action.

COTTON COMING IN LIVELY.
Complaints that the Railroads Are
Not Handling 1t Fast Enough.

Not Handling 1t Fast Enough.
An inquiry was made yesterday on the
Bay as to whether the pine straw bagging
had begun to show in the market. One
cotton factor said that all that he had seen
of it was the fifty-yard roll that had been
sent to the cotton exchange. at does not
APPEAR he added, that any one is selling
it or that any effort is being made to push
its sale" AS a matter Of fact, the factor
says that they want more for the pine
straw bagging than for the high-priced jute
bagging, and while he did not decry the
pine straw bagging, he intimated that the
new article would have to be sold at less
than the schedule price to enter into COM
petition with the jute bagging.
Upon being asked about the cotton re-
ceipts, he remarked that they are very en-"
couragigg, but he said there is no little
complaint at the inadequate facilities of
the railroads to bring the cotton to this
market. There are numerous complaints
because the railroads do not give us more
cars" The factor says that the cotton now
coming in is of very excellent quality, and
that since the rain the bolls have opened
and a very pretty white cotton is now being
gathered, much superior to the discolored
cotton which was received early last week.
Over 5000 bales were received yesterday.
and cotton mon are kept very busy. The
market is reported easy, with sales OF 5,063
bales yesterday, which includes l 1921 bales
that changed hands after the Official bulle-
TIN of TIE cotton exchange the day previous.
Supt. Merrihew of the cotton exchange
seems to b. well fitted for his new position,
and is very popular with the members of
the exchange

AT THE THEATER.

1.-THE Streets of New York" Tonight
and Tomorrow Matinee and Night.
1.-THE Streets of New York" will be the
attraction at the theater tonight and to-
morrow night, and also at to-morrow's
matinee. The play was popular thirty years
ago, and it is equally as popular now. The
piece was first produced at Wallack's
theater, in New York, in 1857, and
it has held the stage ever since.
Its story is interesting and strong, with
much human nature in it, and it is told with
all the skill for which Mr.. Boucicault is
noted. 1t is rich in comedy lines and situa-
tions and its mechanical and spectacular
effects are of an exciting and attractive
kind.
The sale of seats for to-night's perform
ance has been large and assures full house.

Hazel at Monteith Station.
Deputy Sheriff Joseph Simmons (colored)
went up to Monteith yesterday morning to
arrest Ed Hazel (negro), who has terrorized
the people in that neighborhood for months
Simmons was armed with three warrants
for Hazel, but he did not execute either of
them. When he arrived at Monteith he
went to HaZels house, but did not find him
at home. The deputy secured the place for
his man, but it was not until he was return
ing o the depot that Hazel was seen. He
carried a musket on his shoulder. The
deputy approached him and informed him
that he had three warrants for him.
Hazel shifted the air, and, leveling
the gun at the deputy. rallied

treated slowly backward, demonstrating
with the Desperate, but Hazel kept the
musket leveled on him until the deputy was
out of sight; taen he proceeded on his way.
Simmons made an effort TO raise a posse
for the purpose of capturing the man, but
he failed, and he returned to Savannah for
reinforcements. Justice Russell issued an
other warrant against Hazel yesterday for
obstructing legal process, anc a couple of
constables will be sent up after him to-day.
The warrants charge Hazel with breach Of
the peace, misdemeanor, pointing pistol
at the prosecutor, and assault and battery.

times, who attempted to arrest him, and he
has not yet been arrested for any Of the Of

EVERYTHING IN A NAME.
What the Savannah Grocers' Union
Has been Organized For.

There is a great deal of difference in
words. The MORNING NEWS yesterday, in
referring to the organization of the grocers,
alluded to it as ''grocers' trust" and the
| officers Of the organization object very
strongly to the term. They say that
trust Is very unpopular phrase, aud
| calculated to create a false impression.
A MORNING NEWS reporter interviewed
two of the principal officers of the organi-
zation yesterday, and they say that The
title of organization is THE Savannah
Grocers Union" They say that not until
yesterday did they receive their bylaws
from the hands of the printer and they
claim that as the law does not protect them
from the imposition of unreliable patrons
who make it business to run UP bills with
out any intention of paying for the same,
the organization of the "Grocers' Union" is
a case of self-protection. The members of
the union say that while it is in its infancy,
all the principal retail grocers are connect
ing themselves with it, and they define its
objects and aims as follows:
l. The prevention of manufacturers and
wholesalers from selling at retail to families for
their own consumption.
2 The formation OF a list of unpaid accounts
and reliable collection agency for bad debts
D. Inc union Intends to move against the
irresponsible street hucksters, believing that
class OF persons, the right to do business on the
pubic highway or to derive any revenue from
nuisance, which we claim the street hucksters
to be-, with their deceptive measures, baskets,
barrels and weights This is not to be construed
10 mean the farmer, gardener, or those who
raise Their own produce, or those spectators
who bring into the city country produce-a
thing to be encouraged.
The bylaws are, in brief. as follows:
!. Initiation of member 81.
2 Monthly dues, 81 per month.
Provides for election of president, vice
president, secretary, treasurer and an executive
committee OF five, of which the president and
vice president are to be er oficio members
Those becoming members are requested to an
swer the following questions:
!. Do you agree to furnish to the secretary q
full list of such customers as have proven un-
worthy of credit in your business, and further
more to notify the secretary each month of any
changes necessary in said listY
2. As long as you are member do you pledge
yourself to support our bylaws and constitu-
ton, and to abide by the resolutions passed by
the union?

American Anti-Chinese Legislation.

The Chinese Prohibition Bill, which
has passed both the Senate and House
of Representatives almost unanimously,
is extremely rigorous in it's provisions.
By it's terms it will be unlawful for any
Chinese person, whether a subject of
China or not, to enter this country ex-
cept in certain special cases enumerated
by the Act. Chinese officials, students,
teachers, merchants, or travellers may
enter the country after they shall have
obtained from the Chinese, or other
government of which they are subjects,
a proper permit. Permission in each
case, and also the personal identity Of
the individual, must be evidenced by
a certificate to be made out by the
diplomatic representative Of the United
States in the country from which the
person comes. No Chinese labOrer, after
the passage of this Act, shall be permit
ted to return to the United States, after
having left the country, unless he has a
lawful wife, child, or parent here, or
property to the value of one thousand
dollars, or debts of equivalent amount
due him and pending settlement. In
each case a Chinese labOrer, having left
the country and possessing the neces-
sary certificate, will be admitted again
only at the port from which he departed
therefrom and certain ports are named
as exclusive ports of entry and exit for
Chinese, except those engaged in the
diplomatic service. In every case where
the words Chinese laborers" are used
in the Act, they are to be construed to
mean both skilled and unskilled laborers
of every kind. Any Chinese found I'M
lawfully in the country may be arrested
upon warrant, convicted upon hearing,
and if found not lawfully entitled to re-
main in the country, may be removed
to that whence he came. The Act is to
take effect from and after the ratification
of the pending treaty between this
country and China.-TNew York Paper.
