STATEMENT OF THE SAM.
A Showing OF the Assets and Liabiliti
Presented to the Court.

A Showing ofthe Assets and Liabilities
Presented to the Court.
The primary report of the Sam road has
been filed with the clerk of the Sumter
superior court
The report is Of course very exhaustive,
and gives every detail concerning the
nature and amount Of the company's de- t..
The report does not estimate the value Of
the road, with its mileage of over 400 miles
OF track, rolling stock. motive power,
terminals, laud, depots, etc., which are as
sets to offset the array of liabilities; and in
the absence Of any figures on the credit
side, the public can only form their own
estimate as to the relative status Of the as
set and liability account.
1t can be very properly estimated that the
item Of $3.50 900 of car trust notes is offset
by the rolling stock and engines on hand
ard that the Montgomery terminal prop
erty is worth more than the $1,000 float
ing debt and $208,0 bonded debt on it,
while the $4,000 assumed by the invest
ment company is secured by assets of the
railroad company, thus leaving the actual
unsecured floating debt that the road is
expected to provide for about S455, 900,
which includes the Sl05,662 of January in
.terest due the bondholders
The road and its property and franchises
is estim ated to be worth at least double its
bonded debt of S12 900 per mile. or say
S9,OOO,O00; but whether this surplus can be
made available to provide for the retire
ment Of the floating debt remains to be
seen.
1t is well known that such is the purpose
Of Col. Hawkins, and if his efforts in this
direction meet with the proper corporation
from the bondholders, the road can easily
pay its debt and get on its feet again.

Than He Expected.
Officer Daniels of the city police made g
record for himself Saturday night by tbs
use of his pistol in Congress street lane.
He fired four shots at one man and three Of
his balls took effect. each IN a different
man,
In the account Of the affair published in

that Officer Crimmins, who claimed to
have been shot, was not shot, but
was only knocked down by the

Crimmius said he was coming through
Congress street lane, between Barnard and
Jefferson, when he saw the thief enter the
lane with Daniels in pursuit. He caught
the negro by the shoulders as be came
abreast him when bullet from Daniels
pistol struck him on the side of the head,
knocking him over and causing him 20 lose

the lane
Daniels followed in pursuit Of the negro

shoulder. Another ball vent On down the
lane, passing through the window of Beck

Daniels bullets all are flesh wounds, and
none appear to be serious.
Officer Crimmins was on duty as usual
yesterday. Marcus King, the negro who
was shot, was reported from the barracks
as being only slightly hurt.

a PRUDENTIAL SUIT.

The Action Taken by the Directors of
the Southwestern.
The suit filed by Messrs Miller and Bacon.
attorneys of the South western auxiliary of
the Central system, against the Central
railroad day or two ago, in the United
States court in this city, is prudential
one.
The purpose Of the suit is to have the
earnings of the Southwestern set aside aud
kept separate from the earnings OF the rest
Of the system pending the reorganization.
As a matter of fact the accounts of the
Southwestern are now kept separately and
the amount of its earnings are known ex-
actly. The earnings are not what they
once were.
The suit will not interfere with the reor-
Ranization in the least and is not unfriendIy.
The chances are all in favor of the South
western stockholders accepting the reor-
ganization plan.

SAVING THE CITY MONEY.
MAYOR M'DoNoUGa CUTS DOWN
TIE STREET FORCE.

a Reduction of Thlrty-one Ken and
Saving OF 1921 a Week in the
Street and Lane Departmsnt-The
Cost of the Force Employed Before
she Reduction $1,000 Week and
$4,000 Year in Excess Of the Ap-
preparation.
Thirty-one men. including Foreman
Hunt. have been discharged from the city s
street and lane force by order of Mayor
McDonough. The reason for the discharge,
the mayor says, is that for several months
the force has been entirely too large, and
If It had not been reduced the pay roll Of
the department alone would have exceeded
the entire budget appropriation for the
year by at least 1900.
Alderman Harmon, chairman Of the
street and lane committee, had augmented
his force from time to time during the
past year until he finally had on
his pay roll Ill men. Mayor McDonough
did not see any necessity for so large q force
and three months ago he called the etten-
ton of the council 10 tue matter. The re-
suit was the adoption Of a resolution COM
pelling the suspension OF twenty men for "a
week alternately every Saturday night in
order to lessen the expense. This resolu-
tion has been in operation for about eleven
weeks.
Ice matter came up again Saturday and
Mayor McDonough Instructed City Engin-
eer VIM TO reduce the force to eighty men.
Those discharged were the most recent ap-
pointees.
Mayor MoDonough in speaking about the
matter said: THE step was necessary in
the interest of economy. Ii had not done
30 the departments appropriation would
have been exhausted altOa ether in salaries
and left a deficit without allowing a
cent Tor materials, feed of horses, etc The
pay roll has been averaging $1,000 a
a week, which meant the expenditure of
S52 600 for the year out OF an appropriation
OK $4,000 Necessary economy demanded a
reduction Of the force, and it Will be still
further reduced at an early day"
The cutting off of the thirty-one men will
save to the city 1921 week.

Yesterday was the pleasantest day that
Savannah has experienced for nearly a
month. The air was cool and bracing and
the bright sunshine was as pleasant as it
was unusual The morning services at the
churches were largely attended. Crowds of
people spent the afternoon on the streets
and in the parks enjoying the bright, brac-
ing weather. Thunderbolt had larger
number OF visitors than for some time past,
and there was large number of turnouts

Senator Colquitt has been so long identi~

name is familiar to all her citizens. 1t is
probable that he will retire to private life
when his present term in the Senate expires.
The contest for the place made vacant,
when his term Of Office is over, promises to be
lively one. There will probably be many
contestants, for Georgia has many am
bilious and able sors well fitted for this
place. Griffin would have been glad and
honored to have furnished the next United
