THE SUPERVISORS.
Some Matters of Importance Disposed
of Yesterday.


of Yesterday.
At yesterdays meeting of the board of
supervisors the question of furnishing
the upper story of the court house was
discussed, and resolution passed direct
ing Chairman Perry to select the car
pets and necessary furniture for the
court room and judges chambers on that
floor.
The clerk was instructed to notify
Contractor Brady that the sixty days.
time allowed to place the clock system
in running order has expired, and that
the board is now ready and desires re-
port before taking action regarding the
time machine. Experts have been work
\ ng on the clocks for some time, but
have not succeeded in making them run
in anything like satisfactory manner.
1t was decided to compromise the
difficulty between the county and ex-
Tax Collector Platt, whose bondsmen
were sued for $1336, which amount was
J alleged to be missing from the office.
The ex-of6cial paid the county $1,000,
and as the reports of experts employed
to examine the books were conflicting as
to the amount due, one showing that
there was only balance of $11.52 after
the $1,000 was paid, the board decided to
close the matter up.
J.S. Van Doren was appointed license
collector under the new ordinance, at a
salary of $3.50 per month, to hold the
Office at the pleasure of the board.
Chas. w. Richardson was appointed,
constable of Redondo township, vice
Chas. E. Doesler resigned.
The resignation of III. w. Filbert, JUS
tice of the peace of San Gabriel town
ship was accepted.
A petition from Henry Pratt and
others, regarding the vacation of certain
streets in the Vosburg tract, was set for
hearing February Sd.

Browns Elusive Sandwiches

A prominent railroad official tells a good
story, says the Oakland CCaL) Times, concern
ing colored waiter who is in the employ of the
Pullman company. The walters are required
oy the commissaries to maze given number of
sandwiches out of q loaf OF bread, and the rule
is strictly enforced. On a recent run a waiter
named Brown cut thirty-nine thin sandwiches
out OF a ioar and piled them up on shelf near
q window IN the buffet. The window had been
left open and while the train was rounding
curve gust of wind came and blew ten Of the
sandwiches out of the car. Soon the vigilant
commiSsary came along TO see how the new
man was getting along.
DO dem suit you sah?" proudly inquired
Brown, pointing to the sandwiches.
Inc commlssary cast hasty glance at the
pile OF sandwiches near the window, and sized
them up in an instant
How much bread did you use for that pile
Brown" anxiously inquired the commissary,
only one loaf, sab; you told nue. to cut dem
thn, ana they're as thin as a wafer, sab "
Inc commissary's suspicious were aroused by
this time, and he tenderly lifted the pile of
sandwiches from the shelf
"Lemme see, said the commissary, counting
the sandwiches, there are only twenty-nine
sandwiches here. Where's the other ten,
Brown. Eaten them. eh?"
Tne commissary laid the pile down on the
sheit, the train turned around curve, and out
went ten more sandwiches through the window
You see, sah exclaimed Brown dem sand
wiches am cut so thin that he wind blows EN-
away. Use not responsible for the acts of God
sab. obeyed orders, sab, and it 8 not my fault
sab, il dey flew out, sah.''
III dock you Brown, for the sandwiches all
the same" quietly remarked the commissary,
while he took the little book out of his inside
pocket to marx down the cost.
Brown entered a strong protest He still cuts
the sandwiches thin, but takes good care that
they don't fly out of the window

The H.rbor Appropriation.

The statement in our Washington dis
/ patches yesterday that the river and harbor
| bill makes provision for continuous work on
the Savannah harbor Improvement until
! the Improvement 10 completed was received
With great satisfaction in this city. If the
bill is passed with this provision Savannah
will have % feet Of water in her hsrbor
within the next three years, and there is no
reason for thinking that the provision will
not meet with the approval OF both
houses. The river and hArbor committee
is a strong one and it will NOS have much
diffic llty in carrying its bill through the
House without changes to which it objects.
Aud a river and bsrbor bill that the House
fsvors is certain 70 be acceptable TO the Sen
ate.
It was Representative Testers idea that
the Secretary of War should be given
authority TO make contracts for the CON-
pletion of Savanuah's deep water improve
ment. and he must have done some very
earnest work to get il Incorporated in the
river and harbor bill. Savannah has, of
course. rendered him a great deal OF assist
spce, because she has worked up senti-
meut throughout the country in favor OF
the improvement Of her hsrbor. but even
With such assistance it could not have been
an easy matter 60 get a new policy for
carrying on work IN important rivers and
hsrbors adopted.
II The river aud harbor bill becomes a law
in its present shape Savannah will not have
to bother ia future about appropriations for
her hsrbor. Contracts for work on the i'm
provement will be made by the Secretary Of
War and the money to meet the obligations
thus incurred will be provided in the annual
sundry civil bill. There will be no more
long delays in the harbor work. such as
there have been in the past And the i'm
provement will be made for great deal less
money than it could be II work on it were
constantly interrupted for the want Of
money. With the passage Of this river and
harbor bill SavAnnahs prospects for pros
porous future will be more promising than
they have ever been.

Libels In ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

A newspaper libel suit, out of the ordi-
nary, was tried in New York court day
or two ago. A lady sued morning news
paper for 800. 900 damages alleged TO have
been sustained BY the publication Of an ad-
vertisement announcing her as an
''astrologist." The plaintiff asserted that
the advertisement was printed without her
knowledge. and, being associated with other
advertisements OF a peculiar character,
caused her great annoyance and loss of re-
pute.
The newspaper admitted the fact of pub
LEGATION, but denied any knowledge Of the
identity Of the person who inserted it. In
ruling on an objection interposed by the
plaintiff the presiding judge intimsted that
on the face of the case there was libel, and
that the burden was on the defense to show
that it was not. The jury returned sealed
verdict
The case is interesting principally be-
cause it emphasizes how infrequently suits
are brought for libels published in advertis-
ing columns. Suits growing out of ar
ticles in the news and editorial columns are
frequent. but the advertising pages furnish
few lawyers fees In such cases. That fact
is almost wonderful when one stops and
| thinks about the immense amount
Of business done through the
advertising columns of daily newspaper.
In some cities the daily papers devote about
as much space to Advertisements as to
reading matter" and the advertising
columns these days are read almost as much
as any other. Spiteful and evil-disposed per-
sons frequently attempt to use these columns
for Interior purposes, but in the great ma
jori.y Of such cases the advertising manager
illustrates such designs.
Every we'll regulated newspaper reserves
the right TO reject any advertisement and

for the insertion Of such advertisement.

amounts to a great deal In the course of a

One Of the singular incidents of the Rus
