BARBER WITH A PISTOL.
He Uses 1t as Weapon Instead of a
Razor.

A shooting ARRAY between two colored
BARRIERS at Whitaker and Taylor streets
early yesterday morning created cousid-
cradle excitement in that neighborhood
j. 5. Habersham is the proprietor of a
barbershop on Whitaker street near Tay-
Tor street. He was formerly in the De
Soto barber shop, and is quite well known
to that portion of the community which
wears hair on its face.
Joe Addison was formerly in Haber-
shams employ. Some time ago Haber-
sham opened up barber shop at Thun-
derbolt and placed Addison in charge. He
concluded afterward that Addison had
misrepresented things to him and put
him out. This greatly enraged Addison,
and he determined on revenge He had
heard reports of what Habersham had
said about him, it seems, and decided that
his honor must be indicated.
Yesterday morning about Z o'clock he
went up to Habersham in front of his
shop and demanded satisfaction, at the
same time drawing pistol Habersham
showed him into the middle of the street.
Addison then drew his pistol and threat
ened TO shoot if Habersham did not re-
tract what he had said about him. Hab-
ersham refused to retract. Several white
men ran up and endeavored to put stop
TO the alteration by separating the
parties. Addison ran around the block and
returning on the other side fred at Hab-
ersham, but the bullet went wide of the
mark He then ran off, pursued by Hab-
ersham and others. He had not been ar
rested up TO midnight last night

JUDGE PERIL RETURNS.
He Talks Interestingly of the Meeting
ofthe Ordinaries in Atlanta.

Judge Hampton L. Ferrin returned 70
the city yesterday after a visit to Macon,
where he stopped after leaving the or
dinaries' convention in Atlanta.
Judge Ferrill says the convention was
a very interesting one. He has been con
graduated by his many friends on all
sides upan his election as vice president OF
the Ordinaries' Association, and the honor
every Savannahian will declare was
wOrthily conferred.
He has been congratulated, too, on Sc
curing the convention for Savannah next
year. Some ordinary from North GeOr-
gla rose when the question Of next years
meeting place came up and said he had
not seen Savannah in q long time. He
was wounded near Savannah during the
war, he said, and as he had not been here
since, he said he would like TO
come here next year. Judge FerrilI
at once addressed the convention and in
Vlted its members to hold their next ses-
sion IN Savannah He said he would give
them trip to Tybee, and assured them
mat they would be treated royalty. His
motion was seconded by the ordinary of
Early county, and that is how the cOnven-
ton was secured for Savannah next year.
Among other in teresting matters that
were discussed was the fee bill, but no
sIdered best to let well enough alone. 1t
was found, however, through the discus
sion, that there was a great difference be-
tween the fees charged by ordinaries in
different parts of the state Letters of
administration and other papers neces-
sary IN such cases, cost a man in some
parts of North Georgia from SIS to SIG,
which is inst twice as much as
they cost in the Chatham county
ordinary's court, and about four times as
much as they cost in some Of the courts
of South Georgia. The convention will
meet here, not in July, as has been
stated, but the time was changed at
Judge Ferrilrs suggestion to the second
Wednesday in May. as that time of the
year is much pleasanter here than July
Judge Ferrill spoke interestingly of
Middle Georgia politics 1t was pretty
warm in Macon, he said. but the outlook
for the reelection of Hon. John L. Boi-
feuillet he thought was bright Not only
this, but he has, it is said, most favorable
chances for election TO the speakership of
the next House. Mr. Boifeuillet has been
temporary speaker on number of occa-
sions and has presided with much dignity
and efficiency. Judge Ecrrill thinks his
chances for the speakership are excep-
tionally good.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS NERVOUS
Said to Have Made August Contracts
Which They Nav Have to Ell.

The naval stores factors are receiving
letters from prominent producers all over
| the southern part of the state urging
them to hold out in the movement to hold
up the market against the efforts Of the
| buyers 10 break it.
| Several letters received yesterday urged
the factors to hold turpentiue for 29I
cents, and others suggested that there
should be general meeting of the opera
tors from all sections Of the state TO in
dOrse the movement of the factors, and
! to urge a cessation of production until
the demand for turpentine should raise the
price TO point where il will equal the
cost Of production, and if possible pay
the producers something for making it.
The price the factors are holding tur
pentine for now is 29i5 cents, aud for
days and weeks no sales have been re-
corded. Last year the prices went low
or account Of the stTingency of the money
market. The factors could not get
money 10 carry the stock, but this year
conditions have been different, and the
factors have been equal to the situation.
IL is not their purpose to corner the mar
ket, but simply to keep prices up 10 the
point where the producers can make the
cost Of production.
The buyers are trying to break the mar
ket by quoting prices on the basis of the
cents gallon. But the stock at Will
mingtOn, in the hands of the buyersE is a
small one, and very little of it would be
purchasable in one lot
One of the greatest Notifications the
factors have is the fact that the buyers
have many of them sold short and it is
believed they have extended their con-
tracts to Aug ! in hope that they will be
able to get the product at a price at that
time which will afford them a profit. 10
is not the desire of the factors, one of
them said, toCause the exporters any loss,
but they have taken a stand which they
believe is the proper one and they intend
to hold out
In case the buyers cannot extend their
contracts beyond Aug /, it would seem
that they will have to come over and take
theturpentine at the price for which the
factors are sholding it. The buyers, he
said. are weakening and are thought to
be getting rather nervous. The factors
are strongly backed up in the position
they have taken, and the fact that the
producers are urging definite action
among themselves with regard to a cessa-
tion OF The production, indicates that the
strength is being added TO every day
The Charleston factors are upholding
the Savannah factors in the position they
have taken and have expressed them
selves through the columns of the
Charleston newspapers. The situation is
becoming interesting and it is believed
that it will be matter of only few
days before there will be a change one
way or the other, probably in favor of the
factors.

TO DENoUNoE THE BUNDLE BEE.
Resolutions Against It Introduced at
the University Club Meeting.

Wv SAby SAAAO 0ACCb4hks
The University Club held its regular
quarterly meeting in the supper room of
the Odd Fellows hall last night, and the
members listened to very interesting
paper, read by MIR. A. A. Lawrence, on
the subject of the recent great strike of
railroad operatives in Chicago.
MIR. Lawrence's handling of the sub ect
showed that he had given it a thorough
study, and that he was conversant with
every move of Importance made
on either side. He began with
the causes of the strike:
gave its history in brief. and ended in
discussion of the general principles and
ideas advanced with regard to dealing
with strikes and with the labor move
ment
At the conclusion Of his address Mr.. L.
j. Brown introduced some resolutions
condemning the publication issued by GER
tain students of the university, known as
the Bundle Bee, the object of which is to
make a covert attack on the professors
and members of the faculty.
He stated that certain gentleman had
told him he would send his son to college
at the university If it were not for that
publication. If the attacks il made on
the professors were true. this gentleman
said, they were not competent as teach
ers, and he would not patronize it, but if
not true those who publish it were not
fit associates, he thought, for the youths
who attended the institution
The resolutions were discussed and on
motion of Mr.. p. A. Stovall were referred
to committee appointed by DR.. NJ. L.
Boyd, who was chairman in the absence
of Col. John Screven. The committee
consists of Messrs. Brown. Stovall and
Meldrim. The attacks made in this pub
LEGATION are in most instances unwar-
ranted and untrue, and they often extend
to sacrilege and falsehood. This paper
was published in 1889, 1898 and 1894.
and its object was to make scurrilous at
tacks on members of the faculty arising
in the minds of certain students who had
imaginary grievances TO avenge The
committee will inquire into the necessity
and the reason for taking such action as
has been suggested, and will report at the
next meeting.
At the close of the business before the
meeting the members enjoyed a lunch
which had been spread, and adjourned to
meet again in October

A QUESTION OF OWNERSHIP.

Capt. Manning says the water works
track is now being used as part of the
main track of the Florida Central and
Peninsular railroad into the city, for
which the latter road is charged rent by
the Central. Nearly all of the old rail
which were furnished by the Cen
trial, he said, have been taken up and re-
placed with new rail by the Florida Cen
trail and Peninsular. 1t may be an inter-
ersting question just now as to who owns
the water works track, the Central rail-
road of the city, or the Florida Central
and Peninsular railroad. 1t cost the
city 5000 to build it, and yet the rail
roads seem to be getting all the benefit
out of it.
