TO GET RID OF THEIR cONvIcTs.
TattnaII County Wants Chatham to
Take Care of Them.

Tattnall county wants to get rid OF its
convlcts The county has no chain gang,
consequently it has to keep the convicted
prisoners in jail and feed them at the ex-
pense of the tax payers. The county com
missioners have received a letter from
Ordinary c. w. Smith. stating the facts
in the case and asking on what terms
Chatham county will relieve Tattnall of
its convicts.
This is the second communication OF
this kind the commissioners have had in
the last month, the first one being from
the commissioners of Liberty county, TO
whom a reply was sent stating that CHAT
ham would take Libertys convicts and
take care Of them with as much diligence
as IS shown in case of those of this county.
county would deliver them al the Chat
ham county Jail, and then pay their eX-
penses back to Liberty county at the ex-
piratiOn of their sentences.
Since this proposition was made to the
Liberty county commissioners no reply
has been received, and IL is not known YET
whether they intend to accept 1t or not.
1t would relieve them of the expense or
taking care of them in jail and 1t may be
looked on as the best thing to do under
the circumstances.
1t Is probable that a similar reply will
be sent to the Tatnal county authorities,
though Chathams commissioners may OBJ
ject TO taking ne cOnvicts from all the
surrounding counties which are without
chain gangs.

TO GO OUTSIDE OF THE CITY.
A LAW TO GIVE THE POLICE JURIs-
DICTION TWO MILES.

The Recorder 10 Have Authority TO
Try Cases Arrested Within That
Dfstance-It VIII Tend TO More
Satisfactory Enforcement of the
sunday Law and the Suppression
of Disorder and Crime in the
Suburbs.
Among the bills TO be introduced at the
coming session of the legislature will be
several intended to Increase the police
Jurisdiction Of the city and also Of the
police court.
The bills are intended to give the city
fun jurisdiction over the surrounding
territory for a distance OF two miles from
the city limits. giving the police power
to repress disorder and make arrests in
the territory indicated, and the police
court power to pass upon offenses COM
mitted within that territory.
The city now has jurisdiction for two
miles from the city limits in the matter
OF granting liquor licenses and Of en-
forcing Sunday laws. but not for other
purposes. If the bills become laws the
CITY win have the same authority within
that territory as within the city limits.
A bill win also be introduced to give
the sanitary board jurisdiction for two
miles from the city limits. Mayor Myers
said yesterday, in speaking of these bills,
that it does not require any argument to
show the advisability of the intended
changes.
"A policeman cannot now make an ar
rest outside the city limits legally in even
the most important cases." said he "A
policeman has no authority to arrest
murderer outside the city limits, though
the question of authority is not usually
considered in such cases. The bills are in
tended to give the police the right 10
make arrests for any violation OF local
or state laws within the territory named.
The extension OF the authority Of the san
itary board is something very much need
ed in my opinion. kor instance, there was
a large pond of water just outside the
limits, which remained in existence TOT
several months. causing general com
plant. The sanitary board had no autnof-
ity to act. The county commissioners had
no authority for such purposes, and
though they made every effort TO have the
owners remove the nuisance, they were
finally compelled TO fill up the pond them
selves, which was only recently done, al
ter the nuisance had existed all summer.
Had the sanitary board jurisdiction in the
matter IL could have compelled the own
ers Of the property TO MI up the pond as
a menace to public health. There will be
many instances in which this authority
can be used TO advantage

Cleveland Beats Baltimore in n
Highly Exciting Game.
Cleveland, o., Oct. 2-The most excit-
ing ball game that was ever played on

next five innings were replete with hard
and scientific hitting and phenomenal
fielding. When the Baltimores forged
ahead in the eighth the game seemed lost
to Cleveland. But Tebeau's men pulled
themselves together and tied the score in
their half. In the ninth inn
ming Baltimore again got one
run to the good, and again the crowd
thought the Cleveland's were defeated
In the last half of the the ninth Tebeau's
men greeted Mcmahon with a fusilade Of
hits and batted out a victory amidst the
enthusiastic shouts of 5000 people, Fea-
lures of the game were the batting and
fielding of Mexican, the timely batting of
Blake and the fine work of Jennings at
short-stop. The score follows:

The Attendance VIII BE 5000 by the
End of the Week


There was a slight increase in the at

few new scholars being added to each
school. By the end of this week or the first
of next the attendance will exceed 5000.
CAS- rule" said Supt. Baker yesterday,
'the children who do not come in on the
first day wait until the succeeding Mon
day, instead Of coming in in the middle
of the week The schools opened on Yom
Kippur last year, which kept the Jewish
children out of the schools until the next
day. This accounts in part for the large
~ increased attendance on opening day
this year as compared with last year The
schools have settled down to their regular
work, and everything appears TO be run
ming nicely"
The night school was opened up last
night in the Whitfield building with a good
attendance. The school win be conducted
as usual three nights in each week, with
the same course of studies as last year.

The indications are that by next Mon

rolled all told POI students. A great many,
however, entered the school in January

the present year will be fully as large if
not larger.

and all the students who did not graduate
are expected to return this year. Besides
there will be number of new students
so it is probable that the number will
