A PHYSICIANS CENTRAL OFFICE.
a Scheme Among the Doctors to Get

! A Scheme Among the Doctors to Get
Rid of Bad Paying Patients.
The advisabihty of establishing central
Office in which shall be kept all the doubt
| full accounts Of the physicians of Savannah
is being freely discussed by some OF the
medical profession. 1t sproposed that each
physician make monthly or semi-monthly
report, as it may be deemed
best, Of all those patients whom
he has treated during that length Of
time and whom he considers dad pay"
This report will be filed at che central Of
flee, where book keeper will always be on
duty. Every physician will be in direct
telephone communication with the central
office, so that in a moments notice he can
ascertain the standing of all those whom he
has reason to believe are non-p yers.
When patient enters physicians office
and asks to be treated, the first question
will be, where does the patient reside, then,
who was his former physician; how came
phe to change physicians, and how much
does he owe, if anything. II the physician
has the slightest doubt he rings up central
office aud giving the name Of the patient,
street and number aud former physician,
asks what his account is. If the patient is
in arrears with his last physician the physi-
clans answer TO him VIII be, go to the
physician t. whom you are INDEBTED; go
where you have an account.
One Of the profession, upon being asked
about the scheme yesterday, said that he
considered it capital one Since the
legislature abolished tue garnishment law,
physicians have no recourse, and it is seldom,
if ever, that they ollect debt of any time
standing. Over 50 per cont. Of some Of the
practice of some of Savannah's physicians is
said to be in accounts that cannot be col
lected
Before the garnishment law was repealed
the physicians were able to collect from
employers the amounts due them by en-
ployes OF recent years they are accorded
no protection, one of them said, and the
central office it is expected will, in a meas
ure, break down the evil. There are over
thirty physicians in Savannah. he said, and
it is a known fact that there are patients
who have been treated by each one of
them during a whole lifetime, and not one
physician has ever been able to collect
bill. 70 say the least, if the central office
is established those people who get their
medical treatment gratis by getting new
physician every time will be found out.
The matter has not been discussed by all
the physicians yet and it is not definitely
settled fact that the central Office will be
established, but it is thought by some Of
the doctors that its establishment will be
assured when the matter is placed before
the entire profession

SPREAD OF THE WATERS.
THE RICE LANDS COVERED AND
THE RIVER STILL RISING.

The Crop Not Yet Planted, and the
Only Danger Feared Is the Breaking
of the Bankg-Flant!ng to be Set
Back by the Overflow, and the Crop
to be Late One-The Water Coming
from the Swamps.
The rice lands on the Savannah river are
pretty we'll under water, but fortunately
there has been no February planting this
year as there was last year, and no damage
in this direction is feared. There will be
more or less damage to the banks, but this
cannot be very clearly estimated until the
waters subside. Planters above the freshet
banks opened their food gates, and this pre-
canton will lessen the damage to the en-
bankments.
The most serious drawback by the pres
ent freshet will be the retarding of the
planters in getting in their crops. The stub
bic had been burned and the ground gener-
ally plowed preparatory to sewing, but now
it Will be from a week to ten days before
the water will be off of the rice fields, ana
the ground will not be dry enough for
putting in crop as early as planters usually
like to sow.
The heavy in shore or east and northeast
WINDS nave banked up the water on the rice
fields to hight almost equal to last falls
freshet, although the maximum hight of
tie river at Augusta on the present rise
was between six and seven feet lower than
was recorded during last years big food.
All the swamps are reported full above and
are OVERLOOKING into the river. Last year
the river overlooked into the swamps.
Yesterday afternoon the wind was veer-
ing to the westward, and westerly winds to-
day and tomorrow would soon carry the
water out to sea, but with continuance of
east winds and high tides a much larger
volume of water will spread out over the
lowlands, and Rutchnsons island will have
more water on it than last year.
At headwaters there is no Indication of
big river. At Augusta yesterday morning
the river was but 1871 feet and falling.

THE COURT TO TAKE A REsr
The Last Term of the Superior Court
the Busiest Term on Record

The Last Term of the Superior Court
the Busiest Term on Record.
The December term of the superior court
adjourned last night at $50 o'clock. 1t was
remarkable for the volume of criminal
business which numbered the docket. 1t
was a working term exhausting upon the
court, the grand and traverse jures, the
solicitor-general and the court officers.
Tho hours were often long and weari-
some, sometimes from 8 o'clock in the
morning until 10 O'clock at night, with
only an hours intermission for dinner
1t was Solicitor General Frasers first
term since his election, and while a wear
ing one, it was also a successful one. In
his court and grand jury work and in the
preparation of his cases, there were times
when he was able TO catch only an hour or
two Of sleep out of the twenty-four. OF all
the indictments by the grand jury, but
three Jail cases were not tried.
There were seventy-four cases tried and
fifty-six resulted in conviction, only fifteen
resulted in acquittals and three were mis-
trials. Ten rioters were convicted of as
sault with intent to murder, and were sent
to the penitentiary for ten years each, four
were convicted of riot and were given one
year each on the chsin-gang. Only one
rioter. Joe Cotton, was acquitted, and he
was held on another charge, and tried, the
case resulting in mistrial. Two of the
rioters remain to be tried at the March
term.
The time was short, for it began on Dec
8, and there was a recess for the Christmas
holidays, and a week was taken up by the
absence of Judge Adams, who held court in
Camden county, and nearly an entire week
was absorbed by the trial OF w. Z. Smith.
