THE COUNTY CONTRACT.
Mr.. Gardner Says He Made No Com
plant on Account of Politics.


Mr.. NJ. S. Gardner takes issue with me
statement that politics had anything 10
do with the county beef contract. a re-
port OF which was made in yesterdays
Morning News, that he put in a bid OF 3
cents a pound, which he asked the COM
missioners to accept, whereas the bid
accepted was 81 cents.
In regard to the matter Mr.. Gardner
says; 4 obtained the contract by bid
called for by the commissioners. for the
quarter ending June Is. The bids were
always called for by advertisements
through the News, or by circular sent
out by the commissioners seven or eight
days before the running contract eX-
Dired. Having watched the columns OF
the News daily for the advertisement for
bids for the ensuing quarter and the same
not appearing, neither having received a
circular inviting bids. | addressed letter
TO the board. in which / stated: That In
the absence Of an advertisement calling
for bids, If should furn-
the price would be cents per pound
until bids were called Tor and contract
closed" This certainly did not mean
bid, but only meant to remind the board
of commissioner that the contract was
about to run out. and that the time for
inviting bids was AZ hand Why they did
not advertise for bids or send out circulars
inviting bids can best be answered by
the commissioners themselves"
My. Dale distinctly told me-" said Mr..
Gardner, that on the day and the hour
when the handing in of bids had expired.
there was no bid in for beef, yet the same
afternoon the contract was given 10 Mr..
Logan, on a bid of 31hc, when there was
no competing bids, and the time had ex-
pired for putting in bids. Your article
states: THE lowest bid received was from
Mr.. Logan at 312 cents per pound When
did Mr.. Logan hand in that bid? When
did the commissioners ask him to bid? If
they sent him n circular. why did not
they send circulars to every one who had
formerly made bids to furnish the county
with beef2 As to my complaint to friends
about political discrimination, that posi-
ton is entirely false and untrue, as
never made any such assertion.
About the investigation by Mr.. Dale, I
VIII say, that he must have been misin-
formed by some one, as my letter could
in no wise be construed as a bid for the
ensuing quarter"
The statement made by the Morning
News as to the contract for meat for the
county came from the Office of the county
commissioners. 1t has been customary
with them to receive bids regularly for
supplies for the county every three
months, whether they called for bids or
not 1t is stated that no bids were re-
ceived on this occasion, and a canvass
was made to see what was the lowest
price that could be obtained. That made
by Mr.. Logan was the lowest secured, and
he was given the contract.

MIR. David Wells Mentioned as Il Cam
didate for the Legislature.


didate for the Legislature.
One of the interesting and absorbing
topics is the question of who will sue
coed Mr.. Joseph ]. Doolan in the legis-
lature. The latest possibility is Mr.. David
Wells, to whom, it is said some of his
friends have been talking with a view to
having him run.
Mr.. Wells was a member of the city
council under the McDonough admins
tration, ana is well known in Savannah.
He has many friends, who would
give him their cordial support.

talked of recently as a candidate. 1t was

collector for the list of registered voters
for the fence election. Mr. Christian rep
resents the fence side, and one of the
lists copied from the regular registra-
ton books was left at the Office of the
tax collector for the fence people.
1t has not been decided definitely wheth-
er Mr.. w. w. Chisholm will be a candi-
date or not. The nomination has been
rendered him, it is understood, by a num-
Der of friends who have a strong follow
ing, but he has not decided as yet
whether he will accept II or not.
The governor is expected to send the
ordinary a writ of election as soon as he
RECEIVERS sufficiently to attend to the du-
ties of his office, and the notice of the
election will of course be given at once

BIGOTRY AND LAWLESSNESS.

A member of the Nebraska legislature
has offered resolution calling upon the
United States to deport Mgr. Satolli, as
representing an element hostile to the
from the Pope of Rome commissioned to
interfere with political and social inter
ests of the United States, Did ever
bigoty in official life rise to a more re-
diculously exalted pinnacle? While the
legislator begs the question which forms
his premises, yet admitting the assump-
either visitor or resident tor such
an alleged reason? Think of it seriously
for a moment, Should this government
attempt to deport individuals on sus
picion, or for holding opionions adverse
to majority III congress, what safe
guard w ould any ndi'idualhavef A re-
publican congress might send abroad
every democrat in the land, or the me-
talic currency advocates depo pulate the
country of every soft money man. To
say this is an aggravated statement OF
the case does not deny the possibility of
it's being done. The Gear OF Russia IS
accused of sezing upon whatsoever citi-
zen he will and sending him to Siberia
but the civilized world finds in this fact
it's chieiest complaint OF the abuse of
dispotic power. To consider tor a mo-
ment that the republic of the United

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Attorney Frank Tolman has been fig ur
ing on the probable outcome of the
Haines- Chisholm election contest. in
which he is interested as one OF the at
torneys for Haines. The official count
gave Halnes 642 votes, the recount gives
him GAGS ure and the possible votes that
may be placed to his credit are three.
The original vote tor Chisholm was GAG,
he loses four IN the recount, and the pos
sible votes that may DO counted for him
are three. According to these figures
Haines is surely elected by one vote and
may have three plurality. The matter
will now be submitted to the justices Sc
lected, or two of them, if the plan can
be agreed upon, and the record made by
them will be submitted to the election
of the House OF Representa-
tives and by it to the House itself.-Jour-

Lies OF owners Of cranberry marshes
which were destroyed by forest fires
last fall. The owners of those marshes,

upon them and they are hungry and un-
