1t is said that barrels are often gagged
TO hold less than their actual measure
ment in the same way that the gauge
sometimes shows more. but nothing is
ever heard from the buyers with re-

A Travelling Man Accuses His Com

/ A Travelling Man Accuses His Com
panion Of Going Through Him.
George Talley, a colored barber, is in
/ jail, charged with stealing Sl6O from
/ W. @. FradY, a travelling medicine man.
F'rady arrived in town few days ago.
He formed an acquaintance with Talley,
who came here recently from Macon and
! engaged Talley's services in plotting him
around the city. F'rady had a large sum
of money. so he says, and Talley became
aware Of this fact. Both t'rady and Tai
ley had a well developed thirst for strong
drink, which they assuaged freely in
their rounds.
Yesterday morning Frady called upon
Detective Morgan at the solicitor gen
cral S ONCE and informed him that he had
been robbed of Sl6O and a fine revolver.
he charged Talley with the theft. De-
teCtive Morgan sent out spO-ter who
found Talley in a barber shop on Haber-
sham street, and had him arrested by a
policeman.
Talley had only a few dollars and de-
MED any knowledge Of the money or the
pistol, which he was said to have stolen.
He was still carrying jag as the result
Of his rounds with Frady. The latter
has $40 left. and says he sent $500 to his
home in Asheville few days ago. Evi
IDENTIFY he has been making a good thing
OF the medicine business. He was unable
to give any distinct account of the rob-
berry, but claimed the money and PTS
toll were taken from him while he was in
toxiCated.
W. j. Smith, hackman, was in the
police court yesterday, charged with
rObbing Frady of his watch. From
the evidence it appeared that F'rady
had been patent medicine man,
but had sold out when he got here
He said he got $500 for his team and med
icines. OF this amount he sent $500 home,
and then started to take in the town
with $500 in his pocket He got in
a sociable mood, and he and the
hackman seemed to have filed up to-
gether. He was advised to leave his
money with some friend, and drove to a
friends house and left it, When he got
down town he went into a barroom and
ordered drinks to the amount of % cents,
but having left his money with his
friend, he had nothing TO pay for the
drinks. He gave his watch to the bar
keeper to hold until he brought the
money This incident seemed to have
been forgotten by Frady. The barkeeper
producing the watch and asking that the
court make Frady pay him the So cents
was very convincing evidence. Smith
was discharged. He also wanted the
court to make E'rady pay him his fare"
which had slipped E'rady's mind

BOTH FOUND GUILTY.
Goolsby and Flood Will be Sentenced
This Morning.

This Morning.
With the exception of the trial of
Charles Goolsby and james Flood, for
robbing ]. o. McRae, which occupied the
greater part of the day in the superior
court, there was very little business
transacted at the court house yesterday
The city court met at the usual hour
yesterday morning but adjourned imme-
diately afterward as tribute of respect
to the late Senator Alfred H. Colquitt.
Goolsby and Flood were both found
guilty in the superior court of robbing
McRae. McRae came to the city on one
of the merchants excursions some time
last December, and while taking in the
town during the day, met a man named
James Flood McRae had, according to
the evidence, about Sl05 with him.
During the afternoon he was with Flood
Goolsby and man named Waddell The
next day his money had disappeared, and
both Flood and GOolsby had been seen
with good size rolls the same day Flood
went into Dier'S store and asked to have
S100-0ill changed. He gave another
party S35 or $40 to keep for him, and
Goolsby also entrusted some one with
like amount.
All of the parties supposed to have been
concerned have been arrested. Goolsby
was tried first and was found guilty.
Floods case went to the jury about 8
o'clock last night, and it looked for a
while as if the jurors were going to stay
out for the night. A verdict of guilty,
however, was returned about 9:45 O'Clock
last night. Both were charged with lar
ceny from the person, and they will be
sentenced this morning Waddell is under
indictment, but his trial has not yet taken
place.

A SMALL RICE ACREAGE.
Only About Fifteen Hundred Acres
Planted So Far.

Only About Fifteen Hundred Acres
Planted So Far.
The rice planters are now putting in
their crops. 1t is evident that the acreage
in Savannah's territory this year will be
much smaller than that of previous years.
Only about l 800 acres have been planted
so far, according to the reports.
AT the beginning of the year il was esti-
mated that the rice acreage would n less
than half what it was last year. The
chief reason for this estimate was the
difficulty with which the planters met in
securing advances to make their crops on
account of the heavy losses of previous
years. There is a decided improvement at
present, however. Rice is now selling at
from so cents to 81 a bushel, which is
more than double the prices obtained a
year ago.
The higher prices prevailing has caused
rice TO be regarded as a good investment,
and advances are more easily obtained by
the planters now than was expected at
the beginning. AS a consequence many
planters will increase their acreage above
what they had intended to plant. The
total acreage, however, will be much less
than last year.
The cold wave did not do any damage
to the rice already planted, as it was not
sufficiently advanced TO be affected by the
cold.

Merchants Have Laid in Large Stocks
During the Rate War.
When it was announced that the South
err Railway and Steamship Association
had patched up the differences between
the western lines at the meeting held in
New York and that the old established
rates would 90 back into effect April 9,
the merchants here began to make the
best of the situation.
A reduction of cents per 100 pounds
on grain hay, and -four, makes a big diff
ference when it is purchased by the car
load, and the adjustment Of the old
rates again will of course bring about a
raise in prices, On this account many of
the merchants, and in fact nearly all of
them who handle this produce to any
great extent, have been laying in heavy
stocks and they will be ready for market
when the old rates are put back II is
estimated that over 400 carloads of flour,
grain, and hay have already been ordered
and shipped TO Savannah this month.

WHAT A FACTOR SAYS.

One Of the factors was seen about the
matter yesterday. He said there was no
truth in the statement that there had
been any false gauging. The barrels
are gagged by a rod" he said, "the
measurement being taken from the
bung hole to each end and
mean between the two gaug-
ings being taken as the measure
ment Of the contents of the barrel The
rod is made to measured standard barrel,
and barrel may be so constructed as to
gauge the same length from the bung- hole
to the end inside, though the slaves may
be so bent as to make it hold less than the
standard package made to be gagged by
the rod used
Ii is impossible to make the package so
that it will always gauge exactly the
same, though If the standard is followed
the measurement is always approxima tely
correct; that is, the rod measurement
will correspond nearly with the liquid
measurement of the barrel. The
rod measurement has been adopted
as the standard by the trade
and until recently, he said, very few COM
plants have been made. If the buyers
have accepted this measurement so long
without complaint they cannot now hope
TO reject IL and recover for alleged losses
from the inspectors or the city. If any
body is responsible it is the makers Of the
