Henry Clews Endorsed.

This eminent fnancier in his last circu-
lar letter after reviewing the condition of
the country and the mercantile worth at
large, says: "The conditions are not
those OF deep-rooted and fundamental
arrangement that would call for a long
period OF gradual recuperation; thew are
IN the nation of transient obstruction
which, when removed out of the way
Will admit of a rapid recovery" and no
one who has kept up with the times will
dare dispute the above conclusion. Money
is easy and will continue so for a long
time. All that capitalists want is GOOD
security and they will let their money out
at low rates. What security is more
staple than well located real estate2

securities, like money, take wings and flv

SAID 1T WAS ALL RIGHT.
Registrar Manuoy Not Worried About
Mr.. McIntire's Action.


Mr.. MoIntire's Action.
Registrar Manucy reached the court
house yesterday morning some time be-
fore Registrar McIntire did. He went
into the Office of Tax Collector MCGOWAN,
as usual, for the books used by the regis
trars. One of them, the book containing
the names of those who had paid their
poll tax for 1893, was missing. Registrar
Manucy asked where it was. He was
told that Registrar McIntire had bor-
rowed it Saturday night and had not re-
turned 1t to the office.
Mr.. Manucy thought this rather I'M
usual, and that it would make Mr.. Nc
Intire liable to some criticism. He was
somewhat vexed that the book should
have been taken and asked MIR.
McIntire about the matter when they
met in the hall. MIR. McIntire explained
the matter satisfactorily. He had asked
for the book in order to check off two
names. He had received a note from Mr..
H. B. Lemcke asking that these names be
looked up.
Tax Collector MCGOWAN said yesterday
that the book was the same as the other
public record of his office. He thought
one of the registrars had as much right
to it as the other and that 1t was used
by both during the registration. He said
he knew OF no advantage that could be
gained from it should anyone desire to
do So
Registrar Manucy said that there was
nothing whatever in the action of Regis
trar McIntire to reflect upon him in any
way. He thought perhaps the action
might have been a little indiscreet, but
| further than that he said there was moth
| ing whatever in it. He said he saw no
reason why there should be any criticism
of MIR McIntire's action, and if it had
been desired, which he did not believe,
he knew of no advantage that could have
been gained by the use of the book. This,
he said, did not enter into the question,
and the only indiscretion was the fact
that the book was not in it's customary
| place yesterday morning. Outside of
that fact alone, he said, there was moth
| ing whatever in the matter.

FOR THE SUPREME COURT.
The Attorneys Made Mistake About
the Date.

VAC D1SOs
For the last two or three days stenog-
raphers' pencils have been moving some
what faster than they have had occasion
TO do in some time; attorneys, who have
had cases assigned in the supreme court,
have been burning the midnight oil, and
IL might not have been impossible had an
investigation been made, to have found
some of them foregoing the pleasure of
the Sunday afternoon stroll, and confin-
ing themselves to their Offices, in order to
grind out some much desired brief 1t
was all on account of a little misunder-
standing.
1t had been the impression among many
of the attorneys for some time before
that the Eastern circuit was to be reached
by the supreme court May IA, and thereby
hangs the tale. The report came suddenly
during the latter part of last week that
the Eastern circuit was to be reached
May s, which is to-day. 1t was
like thunderclap. The briefs must
be prepared, and they were
voluminous, many of them pages in
length. A telegram requesting a post
ponement met with refusal. A letter to
the chief justice, explaining that the i'm
preston that the circuit was to be
reached about week later, and that
briefs had not been prepared, met with
inc same IdbG. Inc circuit would be
reached that day and the judges refused
to pass it.
Answers were not awaited. Briefs be-
gan to take form at once and with work
night and day they have about been put
in shape. Some of the more voluminous
have not quite been completed, but to-
day will finish them. Such are, of course.
in cases which might not be reached until
tomorrow. In fact some of the attorneys
decided not to 60 to Atlanta last night,
but to take their chances and wait until
tonight.
Among the cases to come up at this
term from the Eastern circuit is the
famous Epstein and Wannbacher suit.
which contained one of the most vol
luminous records ever sent up from this
county. Among the attorneys who went
up to Atlanta last night were Messrs.
J. h. Saussy, Jr., A. c. Wright,
W. S. Chisholm, A. r. Lawton,
Jr., and Walter LaRoche. Among
others who will go up tonight are
Judge William D. Harden, Mr.. S. B.
Adams and Mr.. r. r. Richards. Many.of
the attorneys connected with the Up
stein and Wannbacher case will not go

A PENKNIFE IN HIS SIDE.
Abe SmalIS' Chum Fatally Stabbed in
a Quarrel.

James Wright Cut by Bill Johnson
Out On Lovers Lane-The Wound in
the Abdomen and Bleeding Inter
nally-Johnson Captured by Two
Witnesses of the Affray-The
Trouble Started Over 5malls.
James Wright was cut and probably
fatally wounded by BILL" johnson on Low
ers lane east of the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway last night about 10
o'clock
There was a crowd of negroes at Mey-
er's store on Lovers lane. Wright and
Johnson were both drinking. Wright,
who it seems was a chum of Abe Smalls,
the murderer of Policeman Neve, made
some statement to the effect that he
knew where Smalls was. This statement
was denied by johnson, and quarrel en-
sued between him and Wright.
The quarrel resulted in an incounter
in which Wright was stabbed in the left
side of the abdomen by johnson with
penknife. johnson ran, but was pursued
by Isaiah Ray and Isaac Wilson, two
other negroes of the party.
Ray and Wilson caught Johnson and
turned him over to Policeman r. w.
Baughn, who sent him into the barracks
where he was confined on the charge of
assault with intent to murder
Wright was taken to the Georgia In
Urinary, where his wound was treated.
He was reported from the infirmary last
night as being very low, with posi-
bility that he might not live until morn
ing. The wound, which was small, but
deep, appeared to be bleeding internally.

Coming in Ranidlv.

Capt. John II. Dillon, tax receiver, says
the returns from the country districts
are coming in rapidly. So far but very
few returns of country property have
been received, but next Monday the books
will be ready for the returns of city prop
erty. The only difference in the returns
this year, is that formerly all the prop
erty south of Anderson street was in
Guided in the country returns, but now
comes in those made for the city. Capt.
Dillon says, however, that this will make
little or no difference in the property val
uations in this section which has recently
been brought within the city limits.
