HIT HER WITH A BRICK.
James Rogers Assault on Charlotte
white.

W
The vtrlfied brick has proved to be a
dangerous weapon. James r. Rogers sue
ceeded in almost killing Charlotte White
with one yesterday morning. The woman
was struck behind the left ear with such
force as to stun her and the missile made
Il small hole in her head, from which the
blood poured in a stream.
The difficulty occurred in front of Rog-
ers' house on Congress street. between
Abercorn and Drayton streets. Quite a
crowd gathered. Rogers was arreste 4
and the woman was also taken to the
police barracks in the patrol wagon Her
wounds were dressed there by DR.. Boyd
after which she was removed to her home
at Broughton and Randolph streets.
Rogers says that the woman was act
ing the part of a procuress, and that
she had come to his house for the pur-
pose of alluring his wife away. The wo~
man, he said, came there Saturday night
and against his wishes, his wife went 10
market with her. 1t was late at night

ing when he got up his wife was gone
He went to the White woman's house and

he saw jacket which he knew belonged
to her. Monday morning she went to the
something was wrong and decided to find

THE soUTH's GREAT FUTURE.
Hon. r.. ID. Guerard's Observations
During n Tour West.

Mr.. r. D. Guerard, who has just re-
turned to the city after an absence OF
several months. thinks that after all
the south is the best part OF the country
Mr.. Guerard made an extensive tour OF
the western states and summed up his
observations and conclusions informally
to a Morning News reporter.
MY conclusion, after ALL" said he,
rs that we have got the best section
OF the country. 1t is the best section of
the country to live in all the time, and
just now l had rather have my money
here than anywhere else. / was disap-
pointed in the west. Things are at a
standsull there. l visited Kansas city,
Omaha, Denver, San Francisco, Portland
and other cities, and l found the same
state of affairs in each place 1 visited.
They have all been developed up to their
utmost limit and now they nave all they
can do to hold their own. They are loaded
down with debt, property is decreasing
in value and population is no longer in
creasing. l am unable to see what pros
poets the future holds for them For
the most part they are surrounded with
great bare western plains Incapable Of
cultivation without irrigation and this IS
a problem which they have been unable
to solve. There are a number Of great
lfFlBaIOn companies, put by the time the
farmer pays for his water his crop nets
him little or nothing. Then the markets Of
the world are already surfeited with the
products which these lands are capable
of producing l found business very
generally depressed and property owners
bewailng the great decrease in rents in
the last few years. Denver though, is
a ine city. 1t has every modern improve
ment and 1t is really remarkable what
has been accomplished there when 1t is
considered that the city is only thirty
years old.
Free silver would make quite a change
in the state of affairs in Denver, wouldn' I
it?' Mr.. Guerard was asked.
Il have no doubt that it would. If the
government were to pay the southern far
mers a bonus of A per cent. on all the
cotton raised by them 1t would make quite
a change in affairs down south. wouldn't
it?' 1t is very plain to see where Mr.
Guerard stands on the money question.
"As a place to live and for investment, D"
continued Mr. Guerard, Il prefer Savannah
to any of the much-advertised western
cities. Savannah has future before her.
We are not compelled to rely upon our
agricultural territory, as is the case with
most Of the western cities. We are sea-
port, having half a dozen states to draw
upon and trading with all the world. We
have a great agricultural territory at our
backs, which is only half developed and
which is more easily cultivated and is
more productive than the lands of the far
west. With the continued development
of our territory and the increase of our
trade. SaVannah's future is certain"

MIR. e. b. Purcell Makes n PROPOSE

MIR. e. b. Purcell Makes n PROPOSE
ton TO the City With Regard to 1t.
Mr.. L. B. Purcell and Judge Eve of
Augusta were in the city yesterday in the
interests of the Augusta Gravel Com
pany. The county commissioners are now
using the Augusta gravel to pave the Bay
street extension and the Augusta road
beyond the city limits. and are getting
very satisfactory results from it. The
paving has progressed almost to the four
mile post.
Mr.. Purcell wants the city to try this
paving material, and has made the pro-
position that he will send here enough of
the Augusta gravel to pave several blocks
on any street in the city to be paid for
provided it proves satisfactory for paving,
but otherwise he says he will not charge
one cent for it, The proposition has been
submitted to Commissioner Willink, who
stated that he would take the matter be-
fore the committee on streets and lanes.

not been caught. Chief McDermott re-
ceived a photograph yesterday Of the
negro under arrest at Key West, suppos-
ed to be Powell.
