Rev. Jordan johnson Came All The
Way From sandhy After His Truant
Son.
Rev Jordan johnson came into the city
yesterday with war in his eye and look
that bore evil to some one who had been
trifing with his hberality and good in
tentions
The Rev. Jordan, whose ministerial air
suggests that he takes his name from the
sanity river of the holy land, lives at
Sandiy station where he presldes over
his little flock Sometime Friday night
his son, the namesake of one of England 5
greatest literary lights, left the shelter
of the paternal roof and with his little
brother Wiley started out to see the
great wide world. They got to Savannah
and there they stopped.
The Rev Jordan knew that something
was up and he had an idea just about
where the prodigal Ben could be found.
So yesterday he drove into the city in
his wagon, and Saturday being big day
at the market he headed straightway for
that place. He was telling the story to
the crowd who gathered around him at
the court house yesterday when he got
out for moment to bind his prisoner
and make him more secure.
II foun' him in de Market" he said,
"gettin ready fer to take one er dem
hucksers baskets err perduce sich US ter
matoes an he was guine off fer specula-
ton"
The old preacher then told how he had
bound the boys feet with a rope so that
he could not get away, and he was going
to take him back home were he belonged.
"What are you going to do to himW
some one asked.
I'm gwine ter talk to him an preach
to him" was the reply.
He knows I'll talk to him when / git
him home. I'm gwine ter preach to him
fer his misdemeanor. He's been on the
Changing once"
what did you run away for?" some
one asked.
Cause 1 thought he was goin' to whip
me, " was Ben Johnson's sullen reply.
"Why don't you tie his hands too"
some one else put in.
That's jes what I'm gwine ter do"
said the Rev. Jordan and suiting his &C
ton to the word he took out his handker-
chief and firmly bound the prisoners
hands behind his back Young Benjamin
was standing in the street and could not
move.
Come on, here, and git in dis wagon"
said the Rev Jordan, and the bystanders
had to laugh.
Seeing that it would have to be done,
the Rev. Jordan picked up his son,
bundled him into the wagon, made him
get up in front and started on his home
ward journey to Sandhy.

SHE DIFFERS WITH MR.. SIMS.
Mrs. Robeen Says She Wrote the
Letter but Sent no Telegram.


Letter but Sent no Telegram.
Mrs L. Robeen has something interest
ing to say with regard to the story
which comes from ST Augustine about
the marriage between her son, Sam The
baut, and Miss May Sims, which some
weeks ago seemed so imminent
She admits having written the letter to
MIR. Sims stating that she would give con
sent to the marriage, but says she did so
after her son had returned to Savannah
and was under her thumb. She says she
knew nothing whatever about the at
tempt to make her son marry Miss
Sims until about a week before he
escaped from Moultrie and returned to
Savannah, and she defed any one to show
or prove that she had telegraphed the or
binary of St. Johns county, consentng to
to the granting of a marriage license to
her son. Not only did she not telegraph,
she says, but she said nothing in her let
ter or in postscript about having done
so.
Mrs RObeen was very indignant when
she read the story from St. Augustine as
told by Miss Sims parents.
1t cOnvinces me more aud more that
there was some scheme to force Sammy
into that marriage, against his own viii
and mine, she said yesterday.
Il know they attempted to make him
marry her, and besides what Sammy
says l have pretty positive proof that
there was a gun in the case. They say in
that article that Sammy is not thought
much of, she said, but that is in a very
different tone from the letter | have here
from Mr.. Sims, who wrote me that
Sammy was thought very highlyof and
was considered a boy of good character.
As for what they say about what they
call the property part of the story, have
the deeds and can show them at any
time. They will show that he has prop
erty in and around St. Augustine.
No, the whole statement of their case
is full of mistakes. Neither my son nor
myself ever AT any time gave consent to
the marriage, and nothing of the kind
was ever said about it until he returned
and l wrote that letter"

A JEW OF THE EARLY FAITH.
Rabbi John Sergius to Preach in the
First Presbyterian Church.


First Presbyterian Church.
Rabbi John Sergius, Ben Israel, will
preach in the First Presbyterian church
at the 1lo'clock services today.
Tradition says that the Apostle Thomas
preached the gospel in India. After the
destruction of Jerusalem, A. D., 20, by
Titus, many Jews fed TO India and
joined others already there These Jews,
or their parents, had heard the apostles
on the day Of Pentecost and had accepted
Jesus as the true Messiah. Thomas
preached along the Malabar coast and in
what is now called the Madras Presiden-
cy and his tomb is still marked.
Rabbi Sergius claims to be a lineal de-
scendant Of these early Christians. So
he is not a converted Jew, but was reared,
like his ancestors for centuries before, in
the Christian faith He SAYS that many
thousands of his brethren, descendants
Of the lost ten tribes, now live around
him in his native province of Travancore.
which has its HindOO raiah for governor
and is not subject to Great Britain.
The rabbi invites his fellow Israelites
Of Savannah to hear him tomorrow, as
he has many interesting historical mat
ters, not generally known, to say about
the black Jews of India, the lost tribes,
Us well as statements about the position
and belief of these Malabar Jews, or
Christians of st. Thomas, and their in
depreciation of the prophecies of the Old
Testament about the Messiah.
History tells about the work of the
HISTORIANS in India, and their numerous
followers there when the Portuguese en-
tered and held the country Not much,
however, is known of this Jewish colony,
of which Rabbi Scrglus claims to be one
of the pastors. They are very poor, but
endeayor to work faithfully in their pow
erty The churches and press speak of
the rabbi as very interesting man,
though his language IS broken. He asks
aid from the American people.

The Banks in Good Condition TO
Handle the Fall Busiaess-The Fig
ures From Io2 of Georgia's $50
Banks Make Good showing-The
Capital, Surplus, Deposits and Cash
on Hand.
Vice President NJ. B. Lane Of the Citi-
zens' Bank has prepared an interesting
table showing the condition of the banks
of Georgia at the close Of business June
81, 1898, made up from their printed
statements. He is having it printed in
circular form and proposes sending it oct
to those interested.
The figures embrace those contained in
the semi-annual statements Of 102 of the
1870 banks in the state, and include about
the best banks. The consolidated figures
are as follows:
Capital and surplus ga s25 800
deposits lf9SS, too
Cash on hand ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 5935,OOO
1t would be fair to add 81 100000 to
each Of the above items to represent the
condition of the banks not heard from.
This is a low estimate.
Mr.. Lane says taking the cotton re-
ceipts at Savannah for the month of last
September, viz, 10000 bales, as basis
for the receipts for this year, there is
enough money in the banks to pay for the
months receipts and leave between two
and three millions of dollars free for their
business. When it is considered that the
amount advanced by the banks to handle
the crop is continually coming back to
them through the factor and exporter
and also through the regular channels of
trade, it may be safe to say that there is
more than enough money within sight to
handle the entire cotton crop and provide
for all other legitimate husinpSS wants
