WHOSE SHOT WAS IT7"
Difficult Question Which Often, Con
fronts Sportsmen.

fronts Sportsmen.
When two men are hunting together,
either for large game or small, there is
frequently considerable difficulty in
determining to which one the dead
game belongs, especially when the
shots are fired simultaneously, or when
shot or bullets of the same size are
used by both hunters. DR.. j. W. Hall
in Recreation discusses at considerable
length the question: 'Whose Game
Was It?"
When two persons standing side by
side shoot with shot of the same size
at a bird the question is practically IN
answerable, though if both hit the
bird the number of shot in the game
would, of course, have to be considered.
Courtesy gives the doubtful game to
the one whose bag is lightest.
An experienced hunter can usually
tell when he presses the trigger wheth-
er it is killing shot or not, and when
two such men shoot together there is
rarely any difficulty, as each knows
whether he held on or not, and does not
hesitate to say so if he feels that he
missed.
When hunting with a man who
claims everything it is best to quit.
Some meIl, even if their second shell
misses fire, will contend that they
killed two birds rods apart. They
can make marvellous shots around cor
ners, over hilltops and through trees,
and they quite spoil an honest mans
snort,

AN AGED LOVER.
wooed When 123 Years Old, Was Tilted,
Yet Lived Seven Years Longer.

WoOed When lS3 Years Old, was Tilted,
Yet Lived Seven Years Longer.
Two remarkable cases of longevity
were recalled recently by CONVERSE
ton between several gentlemen in this
city,says the Shelbyville Gazette. They
were discussing the death of Rev.
George Mccall, the veteran Baptist
preacher, when it was automatically
stated that Mr.. McCall's great-grand-
father lived to the ripe old age of 1877
years. He was bachelor at 100 and
took a notion to get married. He car
ried out his idea and was married.
Three sons were born to him, and he
lived to see the oldest son old enough
to vote.
This was considered remarkable,
but gentleman in the crowd, whose
character and standing religiously and
socially are above reproach, told an
authentic account of the life of his
great-uncle, who was one of Georgia's
pioneer citizens. This old gentleman
lived to be $50 years old. He lived in a
log cabin, in the northern end of which
was cut a square hole. The old man
turned the head of his bed to that hole,
and slept that way in the warmest and
coolest weather. His wife died when
he was about 90 years old, and for
many years he lived as widower. At
the age of lis he cut an entirely new
set of teeth, and at the age of 1913, one
morning, he saddled his own horse,
sprang into the saddle, and rode 80
miles to address widow and to ask her
to be his wife. He evidently was re-
jected for he rode back that day and
lived seven years longer.

JACOB FRANz's CASE.
He VIII BE Brought Back to savan-
nah Tomorrow.


Jacob Franz, the crazy German sailor,
viii probably be brought down from Mill
edgevile tomorrow morning by Deputy
Simmons. who went up last night to carry
a recently convicted lunatic to the state
asylum.
About $50 of the necessary 500 to pay
Franz's expenses has been raised, and oc-
casional subscriptions in small amounts
are still being sent to Judge H. L. Fer
rlll by those who have taken a charitable
interest in the case. AS soon as Franz is
brought here he will be turned loose on
the streets, and the plan is then that he
be arrested as vagrant and carried be-
fore Judge Norwood to be sentenced to a
term on the poor farm
Both the German and United States
governments have refused to have any
thing to do with the case, and Franz not
being a citizen and thereby barred from
the state asylum, this is the only course
left to be pursued. Franz, 1t is said, has
improved somewhat since he has been in
the private asylum at Milledgeville, but
he is still in a helpless condition. While
the poor farm is no place for a lunatic,
still he can be fed and clothed there and
probably comfortably taken care of.

J. H. LEWIS, CONGRESSMAN ELECT.
Former Savannah Lawyer Headed
For the Senate.


The returns from Washington announce
the election to congress from the state-at-
large of James Hamilton Lewis, formerly
of this city.
Mr.. Lewis migrated from Savannah to
the far northwest ten years ago, and he
has since been a shining light in the de-
mocracy of the new state. He was ad-
mitted to the bar here from the office Of
Chisholm & Erwin and practiced a short
time before he went west There he rose
rapidly in his profession. He at once
entered politics and was member OF the
territorial Senate before Washington was
admitted to statehood
For four years he has been endeavor-
ing to bring about fusion between the dem
ocrats and populsts in Washington. and
practically succeeded in doing so before
the Chicago convention met. He was the
choice of his party for governor, but
shifted the nomination to the popul;sts
when fusion was agreed upon and secured
for himself the nomination for congress.
Col. Lewis, as he is known from his
rank on the governors staff, has visited
Savannah several times since he become
citizen of the wild and woody west. He
will have the congratulations of his
friends here on his new found honors,
which he regards as a stepping stone to
the Senate NJ
The Morning News received the follow
ing dispatch last night, presumably from
the congressman-elect:
Seattle, Wash, Nov. 4.-James Hamil-
ton Lewis, formerly Of Augusta and Sa-
vannah, is elected democratic congress-
man at large for the state Of Washing
ton. He has changed a republican ma
jority of 1900 to 10000 in his favor. He
runs ahead of the Bryan and state ticket
5000 to 5000, and has the largest personal
vote OF any candidate on the Pacific
coast. He defeats Doolittle, the present
member. Col. Lewis twice declined dis
trict nominations for congress, withdrew
from the governorship afterehaving been
selected because he opposed the platform

for United States senator in 1894, and was

SAYS THE MEN LEFT THE STATION
Capt. Kitchen Backs Up His Charges
Against Quarantine.

Capt. Kitchen of the British bark Kyle
more, called at the Morning News office
last night to answer a statement in the
interview with Mayor Myers on quaran-
tine in yesterdays Morning News.
THE mayor is quoted as saying that the
statement that the men were allowed to
come I'D from quarantine to vote Is
misleading. That permission was only
granted to the crew of the tug to come up,
and that there was nothing unusual in
this. What l want to say, said Capt
Kitchen" is that whether the mayor s
permit specified it or not. the men employ
ed on the quarantine wharf, that is the en-
5ineer and firemen of the donkey engine
used in discharging ballast from the YES
sells were allowed to come up to the city
on the day of election loot. 2, and that
my vessel and another discharging ballast
there were compelled to lose the day on
account of this. This can be easily proven
Capt. Kitchen added, II am ready to
substantiate everything 1 have said con-
corning the quarantine. Before l leave
the port l will make an affidavit to what
have stated and leave 1t here in case my
statements should be called in question
after my departure"

IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED.
The Sanitary Board Calls the Atten-

The sanitary board has come to the con-
clusion that either some improvement
must be made at the present quarantine
station. or another station will have to be
erected on a new site, This is shown by
the following communication, submitted
to the city council last night by Health
Officer Drummer, as secretary of the board:
1.-The board of sanitary commissioners
would respectfully call your attention to
the fact that the Improvement of the har-
Dor may necessitate a change of site for
the quarantine station. There are needed
extensive improvements at the station, If
1t Is to remain where it now is, and the
board would suggest that the city council
ascertain from the officer in charge OF the
harbor improvements how long time we
can occupy the present site"
DR.. Drummer made an inspection of the
quarantine station Monday. The result of
his inspection was reported to the board
at meeting held Tuesday. The commu-
nication speaks for itself.

there seemed to be as much truth in the

dent that the claims of the republicans
