Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 20.-Georgia's iron
clad anti-cigarette law is for the first
time being thoroughly enforced by the
courts and today seven tobacconists
were fined for selling cigarettes to min
ors. The law forbids selling cigar
cites to minors and is so framed that
even if a parent gives a cigarette to his
boy, he could be indicted. For sever
al days past authorities have been re-
turning indictments against dealers
and these tried today were the first
batch. The presiding Judge pronounce
ed cigarettes is worse than smallpox.

shot by His own orders.

You hear of men being shot by other
men in the same army" said veteran
with long chin-whiskers yesterday at
Camp Jewett, according to the Buffalo
Express, but the most remarkable case
of the kind that 1 ever knew of happened
during the siege of Yorktown. where a
captain named Wood was killed by one of
his own men, and by his own orders at
that.
Capt Wood was the officer of the day
and he had posted his last picket at
night. He had given strict orders to all
of the pickets to shoot the first man they
saw approaching from the direction of the
confederate lines, without waiting TO ask
them for the countersign, for we were in
close and dangerous quarters then, and it
might endanger the whole army if a picket
stopped to parley with would-be visitors
After giving these instructions to the last
picket Capt Wood left him and started
as he supposed, to return 10 the camp 1t
was very dark, however, and he lost his
way, and instead of going inside the lines
he went outside. He soon discovered his
mistake and turned back. His road took
him past the picket to wnom he had Just
given the decisive order. In the darkness
the quick-sghted soldier saw a dark fig
ure stealing along the road raised his
piece and fired. The bullet struck Capt.
Wood in the side, inflicting a mortal
wound. The mistake was soon discovered
but Capt. Wood remained conscious long
enough to eXonerate the picket from all
blame and died in the consciousness that
ne mad oiGeaeI iiis own execution"

1t is to be hoped that Congressman Liv-
ingston will have energetic support in his
efforts to bring the claims and advantages
of the south before the proper authorities
in the matter Of the proposed government
armor plate manufacturing plant. The
south has the cheapest iron and coal in
the world, and can compete successfully
with any section or country in iron or
coal products. The south is the coming
section Of the United States, and is de-
serving of the fullest recognition by the
federal government. And there is no sec
ton in the south which Is better adapt
ed to the requirements of an armor plate
factory than the city of Savannah. In the
manufacture of articles of heavy weight
from ingredients also of heavy weight,
transportation facilities are among the
first matters to be considered;, and there
is no city or port in the country with bet
ter transportation facilities than Savan-
nah.

Multiplication,

1 sat behind young man and a sum-
mer girl in a Fourteenth street car last
night, and 1 could not choose but hear all
they said. They were talking of palms.
try says the Washington Post. The
young man evidently had been having his
palm read.
Did she say you'd marry?" asked the
girl.
"Oh, yes" said the man, "she said I'd
marry and have four children 1t was
wonderful the way she read off my char
acter, just as if she'd known me all her
life She said L was very fond of music,
and that 1 hadn't any mathematical taste
whatever. She said 1 couldn't even null
tply."
The summer CIR. wasn't listening She
looked vaguely bored. Her next remark
was the result of inattention or-perhaps
of intent
Il thought you said she told you you'd
have four children she said.

Put Them ON the Ronds.

The commissioners Of some of the coun-
ties do not seem to know what to do with
the misdemeanor convicts which have
been thrown back upon their hands by the
private parties TO whom they we're leased
contrary to law. The governor tells them
TO put the convicts to work on the roads
of their respective counties. They will
receive no better advice, and they ought
not to hesitate 10 act upon 1t at once.
In view of the fact that these misde-
meanor cOnvicts Will be employed in all
probability, for many years to come upon
the public roads, the county commission
ers ought to go about road building in a
scientific way. 1t would be much the
wiser plan TO build two or three miles of
road year that would stand the traffic
for years without much repairing, than
to build ten or twenty miles that would
have to be rebuilt practically every year.
In road building there can be no greater
or more costly mistake than 20 build roads
without properly draining them or to use
inferior material in their construction. The
first cost of an undrained road is pretty
nearly as great as that of a road properly
drained, assuming the same kind of mate
rial is used in each, but the drained road
will last for many years without repairs
while the undrained road will go 10 pieces
within a comparatively short time. and
the cost of keeping it in repair win be as
much, every two or three years, as its
original cost.
County commissioners, who intend to
employ their misdemeanor convicts on
the roads, should DO their bodybuilding
on scientific principles. If they don't
know how to build roads in that way they
will save the county money by hiring
somebody who does know to teach them.

If there is any woman in this audience

another in distant part of the house.

There are two; 1 think this one near me

possessed of considerable property. Very
soon after this eccentric wooing she be-
came Mrs. Dow.

That silver reserve story.

What a remarkable lot of opinions,
statements and comments was called out
by the publication by the London Times
of the report that the Bank of England
had decided to carry one-ffth of its re-
serve for the redemption of notes in sill
yer! and. strange as il may seem, there
was practically no foundation for the re-
port. The other London papers are now
poking fun at the Times, and suggesting
that 1t is making itself ridiculous by pos
ing as the mouthpiece of the Bank of Eng
land.
AS a matter of fact the Bank of England
has been authorized for half a century to
carry one-fifth of its reserve in silver, but
it has never awaited itself of the privilege
Gold is the only metal it makes use of to
secure it's notes, and the only metal it is
likely to make use of.
The probability is that the Times was
imposed upon by some one who was aware
Of the fact that the bank has the option
of carrying a fifth of Its reserve in Silver
and who wanted to find out how the bank
ers and fnanciers of England would re-
gard such a departure by the bank from
its long settled and conservative policy re-
specting that metal. If this is the ex-
PLANTATION of the source of the report pub
lished by the Times the author of the re-
port, as well as the financial world gen
orally, now knows that any departure of
the Bank of England in the direction of
silver would meet with a storm of protest
in England.

The Spanish authorities appear very anx-

in the Las Tunas engagement While the
allegation may be true, it will be remem-
bered that only a few months ago the
dispatches almost daily contained infor-
nation of gallant charges made by
Spanish officials upon insurgent hospitals,
and Of the wholesale butcheries of sick
and disabled insurgents which followed
these charges. 1t seems that the shots
which went into the Las Tunas hospital
were consequent upon the fortunes Of war,
while in other instances Spanish forays
