DIVIDED AMONG THEMSELVES.
The Sons and Daughters of Jerusalem
in a Bad Way.

49, ~OAS SbhA ldIS 1bGT5 I'll
In Bad Way.
The Sons and Daughters Of Jerusalem, a
oolored beneficiary society, is divided into
hopeless factions. In the superior court
yesterday, Judge Falligant granted a tenn
porary injunction preventing the treasurer
de facto, Mary Ann Charlton, her husband,
Isaac Charlton, de facto president. and
"Runty' Drayton and their "confederatesn
from disposing OF any of the society's as
sets, ana especially $500 alleged co be to
Mary AIMS credit with the Savannah Bank
and Trust Company, by Abram Willis and
twelve other members Of the society, who
asked for the injunction.
The court also passed an order restrain
ing the bank from paying out the funds, and
requiring of Charlton, "Runtyn Drayton,
and the other 'confederatesn to appear in
chambers Thursday. Oct. 81, and show
cause why the injunction should not be
perpetual and receiver appointed, as asked
for.
The petition of the Sons and Daughters of
Jerusalem, shows a bad state of affairs
among them. 1t appears from the dsclara-
ton that the society was organized in May,
1876, and that May 6, last, it elected a new
set OF officers, which evidently did
not please Isaac Charlton, tho old president,
for the petitions say that at the regular
monthly meeting on May 90, Isaac CharI-
ton, Drayton, Jones and their confederates,
who were IN minority, got up disgrace
full row, menaced the newly elected officers,
who have never been installed and by that
means caused the latter and their self-re-
specting friends to leave the hall. The
minority then abolished the constitution
and laws of the society so that the Willis
crowd was ousted and deprived of all their
rights.
AT the time the petitioners say
there were $500 of the society's funds de-
posted in the bank in the name of Charl-
tons wife, as treasurer, she being insolvent
and under no bond. The society owns the
lot of land in Woodville upon which its
hall stands, and it has securities, ETC., and
the petitioners want a receiver appointed
and the funds distributed.
With the money tied up until Oct. 81,
none of the Sons and Daughters of Jerusa-
lem will receive beneficiary aid in sickness,
or have their burial expenses paid in case
OF death, and the society itself may be con-

NOT DOWN IN BRADsTREErs.

Why the Regiments Prize Drawing
Was Not Advertised in Atlanta.
1t has just leaked out why the First
Volunteer Regiment of Georgia failed to
get the advertisement for its recent prize
drawing, for the benefit of the regimental
armory fund, in a Charleston and an
Atlanta paper
The Charleston newspaper man returned
the advertisement with a homily on lot
teries, which he as unwilling to recognize
by advertising the regimental prize
drawing.
The business manager of the Atlanta
paper when he got the "ad. took down
Bradstrset's big volume of ratings of the
big and little men of commercial aud finan-
cial standing, but nowhere in the volume
could he find the First Volunteer Regiment
OF Georgia rated. Notwithstanding the
fact that the regmental commit
tee represented a wealth of $3.50. 900.
and one member OF the committee $500, 600,
the sagacious business manager wrote back
that he was unable to find the rating of tie
nrst volunteer regiment of Georgia in
Bradstreets, and therefore to secure the in
sertion of the advertisement the regiment
would have to remit $40. and SO the draw
ing was not advertised in the Atlanta
daily

The Lumber Business.

Capt L. johnson of Stiuwell, Millen &,
Go. was In town yesterday The sawmill
business exists now, he said, only where the
most rigid economy is practiced. In addi-
ton to the high railroad tariff, the water
rates have been raised from 81 to 81 25 per
thousand feet This is due to the scarcity
OF vessels. Capt. johnson said that they
cannot be had, ard the shipment of lumber
is retarded considerably. The rain has not
had very damaging effect, so far as he has
been able to learn, in the Waycross section.
In some adjoining sections, however, he is
informed that The crops have been damaged.
The outlook is yet favorable, he said, and
the farmers are not at ali discouraged

Too Smart for Her Man

Mary Ann Rogers (colored had her hus-
band, William Rogers. before Justice En-
dres yesterday, to answer to a possessory
warrant, alleging that he had not only
carried off nearly all her household goods,
but had taken her watch. 1t appears that
while the guilelesS William furnished Mary
Ann with the money to purchase the furni-
ture, she took the receipts in her own name.
and when he hauled off the plumber he was
suddenly awakened TO the fact that he
owned nothing, and Mary Ann owned all.
He denied taking the watch, aud as there
was no evidence to show that he took it
when he hauled the household goods away,
erty was awarded to the wife.
