usually repay kindness? But the
fact is, HodgSOn tries to ambush be-
hind the politician, but his covering
is too thin; it reveals the sneak, and
a retaliating blow from the insulted
farmer will fall where it Justly be-
longs, on his own head. It is plain
to be seen that Mr.. HOdgsOn makes
the criticising of the law, pretext
for abusing the men who voted for
the bill. and for villifying the farmer,
for he has not made Single point
against the law. He says the section
which provides for draft on termin-
al elevators will prove dead letter.
Well then he need not worry about
this section; for a dead letter law
never hurt any one, not even a guilty
warehOusman. Finally Mr.. HOdgsOn
sums up his pretended criticism of
the law, by saying that most of the
law is positively bad, and the rest is
no good. What does this statement
amount to, coming from elevator men
who are put under the watchful eve
of this law. Was there ever wrong
dOer who did not look at law that
restrained him, as positively bad?

that such law was made necessary,
and that an intelligent legislature
should feel called upon to pass a law
that has for it's object the guarding
of our farm products against the ra-
pacious greed of elevator men, while
they are being marketed, is stigma
on our state, and the more the ware
housemen kick against this law, the
sooner they will convince the people
that their kicking is made because
they cannot find lOophole in the law

farmers wheat bin for all the profit
there is in it for the toiling.

WON a CASE Nv BOSTON.

A Damage Suit Against the New Eng
land and Savannah st 3amship Com
pany Decided In It's Favor.
The Massachusetts court Of session
found for the defendant in each of the
suits brought against the New England
and Savannah Steamship Company by
the Everett Mills and the Chicopee Man
ufacturing Company, of that state,
The cases involved the liability Of the
steamship company for the value of
twenty-fOur bales of cotton, which were
destroyed by fire while bein ? carried from
the defendants wharf across the city of
Boston by drayman 10 a railroad station,
the bales being in transit from Newman,
Ca. to the plaintiffs mills. The plaintiffs
claimed the drayman was the agent of
the defendant, who was bound to see that
the goods were safely delivered TO the
next common carrier in the line of trans
pOrtation. The steamship company on
the other haad claimed that the drayman
was not its agent, buta connecting COM
mon carrier.
The substance Of that is, first, that there
was no evidence that the fire was caused
by any negligence for which the steam
ship company was responsible, and sec-
ond that the teamster, a public truck
man, was connecting carrier, so that
there would be in any event no
liability upon the steamship COM
pany for such loss after the
cotton had left the defendants wharf.
The decision in this respect is an i'm
portant one, and it is possible that the
plaintiffs may appeal 10 the supreme
court of Massachusetts. The counsel for
the steamship company in Boston are
Messrs. G. T. & T. H. Russell, the pop
ular democratic governor OF the state
being distinguished member Of the
firm.

THE DIRECTORY FOR 1894.
Mr.. Sholes at Work on the Canvass
With a Evil Force of Men.

@AAs NAA1ANo az OTh Oh JI1S GanVaEH
With Full Force of Men.
The canvass of the city for the city di-
rectory for 1894 was begun with a full
force Of men yesterday. The fact that
Savannah has a directory excelled by no
city in the country, either in accuracy or
handsome makeup, is well known. It's
accuracy is to be attributed partly TO the
fact that Mr.. Sholes' experience of fifteen
years 10 publishing it has familiarized
him with every name and location in the
city, and partly to the fact that our cit
liens have, almost without exception,
STOOD ready TO accord every assistance in
the giving Of full information TO the
AGENTS. OF the work.
1t should be borne in mind, Mr.. Sheles
says, that the directory contains nothing
original, but, like photograph, gives
back simply that which is given to it,
and as every citizen wishes to find
his name, business and location correct
when the book comes out, he shoald see
TO 1t during the canvass, that the data is
correctly given.
Each year has seen some Improvement
IN the city directory. and this year will
be no exception. The book will be gotten
up IN better style than ever, and hand
somely bound in cloth and leather, the
size OF the book now demanding heavier
and better binding than formerly.

TO COLLECT DEBTS.

Purposes for Which the Criminal Law
Is Sometim Used.
A well-known attorney and a court
house official were discussing yesterday
some of the cases for embeszlement,
forgery and fraud which have recently
been brought in the superior court. and
when it was considered bow many of them
are often settled In open court in one way
and another, one of them said;
at has come to the point where the law
is used to a great extent merely for the
purpose of collecting debts"
In explanation of what he had said he
went on to state that there were often
cases brought for this and no other purpose
An indictment against a guilty party is
secured, and before the case comes to
trial the amount taken Is made good and
the prosecutor comes up and says he
wants 10 drop the case. Sometimes the
prosecutor applies in open court for set
Element OF the case, and the Judge grants
II or not, in his discretion.
why don't the state insist on a prose-
cution where there is known to be crimi-
nality in the actl" was asked.
THAT is often done" was the reply,
"but of what good is it, The prosecutor
will go on the stand, and while he wi |
admit that he had been defrauded, he
VIII state that The matter has been salts
factorily settled, and he doesn't care to
prosecute II. Luere are very few Juries
who will convict man under this sLa.e-
ment. and nine times out of ten the man
will get off. It has been so many a
time with these assault with in
tent to murder cases. A negro
will bring this charge against another,
the culprit will pay the doctors bill and a
few dollars indemnity, and the injured
party will state that he doesn't care to
prosecute the case, and that settles il
it'll the jury. The criminal goes free. 1t is
just as l say--the law is often used in
this way for the mere collection of a
debt or to get slight damages for inJur-
les"
There is another side to the matter,
however, said the other "a case may
often be made out against party who is
not wholly culpable, as for instance when
a man carelessly makes use of a little
money that does not rightly belong to him,
and is prosecuted before he has the oppop-
tunity of makingit good. Such instances as
these would seem to be deserving of some
consideration. although there is a certain
degree Of culpability connected with
them"
