A Horse Ran Away.

\ good deal Of excitement was occasloned
on Main Street last Saturday afternoon by
a runaway horse. The horse which is
driven by James Lawson to the one horse
wagon of Mr.. Mccoy became unruly while
near Yost's mill and threw the driver
out of the wagon. He ran up the cross
street from the mill to Main Street, and
then ran down Main Street as far as the
Tazewell Hardware Co. There the wagon
came in contact with a tree and the horse
tore loose, with part of the shafts still at
tached to him. He ran short distance
and turned into the slley just west Of the
office of Drs. Gillespie and Hall, where he
was caught. The wagon was not very much
damaged and the horse seemed to be un-
hurt.

SHOULD STUDENTS USE TO
BACCO.

If the student wishes to increase
his weight, height, chest girth and
lung capacity, and presumably
therefore his general health and his
ability tc do his work properly, he
certainly will not use tobacco, if he
heeds Modern Medicine, which pub
fishes the following remarks on the
use of tobacco in American colleges.
1t says:
"A crusade against the use of to,
bacco has recently been started in
number Of our American univer-
sites. 1t is a recognized fact that
tobacco, when taken into the sys-
tenn in any form, is injurious not
only to the physical health, but to
the intellectual Developments we'll.
The results obtained in school
where the use of tobacco has been
discarded are very encouraging,
and show clearly the harmful effect
which the obnoxious weed has up
on the system. 1t is gratifying to
note that some Of the best colleges
of our country have taken decided
stand against its use by the stu
dents"

FREAK OF NATURE.

The accident on the Spokane d
Palouse at the crossing of McKen-
zie marsh, near Marshall Junction,
Tuesday, by which 10 or II rods of
track disappeared, is one almost if
not quite without parallel, says the
Spokesman-Review.
The swamp is like many others
III that region, being so nearly lev
ell that the water stands all over it
for months in the spring, but the
lack of inflow causing it to dry out
in time to permit the cutting of the
luxuriant grass that the water
brings into being, making the ground
extremely valuable for hay. The
track crossed the marsh on a fill
four or five feet above the sod,
culvert allowing the water to pass
under the rails. The sod was near
" Is inches in thickness, and drain
bitches had been dug in various di-
rections, the bottom of them appar
emily being solid earth. But after
settling gradually for some time.
about five o'clock Monday morning
the sod on each side suddenly broke
and nearly the hole right of way
for nearly the whole width of the
marsh sank. 1t evidently went
down one side first, as that part of
the track still visible is turned up,
only the enks of the ties sticking
out of the mud. About three rail
lengths is entirely out Of sight, and
where formerly was a smooth surf
ace of firm turf is now a bog, into
which any heavy object thrown in
stantly disappears. In one place
gas pipe was lowered 60 feet with
out finding bottom, although the
mud was sitter as it went deeper.
The injury is being repaired with a
trestle, 80 foot piIing going deep
enough to hold train.
1t was exceedingly fortunate that
the bottom dropped out when there
was no train passing, aud it seems
almost proyidential that it should
withstand the weight of a train and
break Of its own weight a few hours
later. Had a train gone into the
hole it would have been as hope
lessly lost as the locomotive that
the Union Pacific lost in the Kiowa
several years ago, that did not even
leave hole to show where it went,

WILL FIGHTIT OUT NEXT WEEK.
NO COMPROMISE POSSIBLE ON COM
MISSION BILLS.

The Commissions VIII Either Stand
or Fall TOgether-Hon. John j.

promise Was Never Entertained.
He Had Nothing to Do With 1t Mt
Least - Delegations From Both
Sides to Meet the senate Next
Week-Citizen's Club Men Conf
dent.
Hon. ]. ]. McDonough, Superintendent
II. NJ. Lotion of the water works and
Postmaster George S. Haines were mem
bers of a Savannah party which came
down from Atlanta yesterday morning.
Hon. Harry F. Dunwoody of Brunswick
was also along. Both sides are counting
the friendship of Mr.. Dunwoody, but so
far he has not revealed the stand which
he will take on the commission bills, so
far as known.
Naturally, it was to be expected that
this party would bring down some news
on the commission fight. The only definite
thing heard, however, was that there is
no such thing as a compromise now. If
anybody has considered compromise in the
past, the idea has been totally abandoned.
81 don't know anything about compro-
mise, except what see in the newspa-
pers,' said Mr.. McDonough. 81 was ill
part of this week and did not see Mr..
Dixon when he was in Atlanta. If he came
there to discuss compromise I knew moth
ing of it. Maj. Meldrim did not mention
the subject to me, and, in fact, in all his
conversations with DR.. Duncan and my
self on the subject, he has pronounced
himself strongly against compromise.
There can be no compromise. The issue
is square cut. 1t is either commissions or
no commissions, and there is no half way
ground. The question will be fought out
before the Senate next week. and we, that
is, the representatives from Chatham,
hope to secure the repeal of the commits
sions."
Mr.. McDonough said that whether the
report of the Senate corporations commit
tee upon the bills is favorable or unfa-
vorable, there will be a lively fight in the
Senate. Delegations from both sides will
be present, and the arena of Chatham
county politics will be temporarily trans
ferred to the Senate floor.
Mr. McDonough said that very little is
being accomplished by the assembly in
the way of legislation. The convict ques-
ton hangs fire, and causes a great deal
of talk, with no solution in sight. The
fight between Decatur and Stone Mountain
for the county seat of DeKalb county
threatens to consume a great deal of the
time of the legislature.
superintendent Lotion had very little to
report as the result of his visit. He SEEM
ed very confident, however that the YER
dict of the Senate wouIda be in favor of
the commissions.
Solicitor General Osborne, who has been
in Atlanta several days, is expected back
this morning.

CHILDREN WITH FIREARMS.
Complaint Made to the Police About
Boys on Duffy Street.

Complaint has been made to Chief of Po-
lice McDermott with regard to a gang of
boys and youths who are making them
selves both a nuisance and menace to
life and limb on Duffy. Henry and New
Houston streets, east. The boys are all
white and are, presumably of respectable
parentage. They range in age from about
to Is years. They have no respect for
any of the propreties. and invade private
premises for their frolc and vandalism, In
defiance of all restraint. Yesterday one
of the party was armed with a parlor rifle
and pocketful of cartridges, another with
a wooden spring gun capable of doing Sc
rious damage, and several of them had
rubber Sling shots" They invaded a
yard on Duffy street, and in defiance of
the protest of the resident of the premises,
insisted on shooting the householder's cat
on the householder's own kitchen stoopl
Some of the residents on Duffy street have
deemed it necessary to keep their children
in doors in order to guard against their
being shot
1t would seem that there had been
enough shooting accidents in Savannah
lately to warn parents against permitting
their children to play with firearms; but
if the parents do not care, II only remains
for other persons to appeal to the police
for protection

Thee"

vice by first reading passages of scrip
lure. Pathetic references were then made
about the upright young man and the ex-
emplary life he led. A prayer was offered
that the sorrow brought by the sudden
departure of son and brother be softened
with those who felt it most
= The service was concluded under the
peaceful shades of Bonaventure cemetery

ARGUMENTS IN SIMS BEHALF.
His Attorneys Hold He Committed
No Violation of the Law.

Arguments in behalf of Felix r. Sims,
charged with a violation of section s. SO
of the revised statutes of the United
States, using the mails in furtherance of
a scheme to defraud were made before the
United States commissioner yesterday by
F. P. Salas, Esq, and ]. H. Klnkle, and
the decision in the case was reserved until
to-day.
Sims attorneys held that he was not
guilty of a violation of the section in that
he did not begin any correspondence with
the parties who urged the complaint, but
in each case the correspondence was begun
by those who appeared as witnesses
against him. They also contended that
there had been no violation of the law be-
cause Sims had offered his services in a
certain capacity for a certain amount,
and was ready to perform every obligation
that he agreed to. They contended that
Sims asked only for money for his expens-
es in securing the Endorsements sought,
and that he was entitled to receive pay for
his services in this respect, as long as he
did the work The case will be decided this
afternoon.

Chance at Paving.
Mr.. George F. Richmond, who has had the
honor OF being the only Ohio river sewer
pipe representative on the ground during
the recent contest for the sewerage con-
tract, will leave for the north to-day.
Mr.. Richmond expects to visit Savan-
nah again, though it will be brick and not
pipe, he says, which will bring him here
the next time. His company, the Mack
Manufacturing Company of Pittsburg,
does a larger business in vitrihed brick
than i'm sewer pipe, he says. This COM
pany had laid 100000 brick in Jackson
willie and is new engaged in laying 10000
yards of brick pavement in jamaica, Long
Island, now a part of Greater New York.
! Mr.. Richmond proposes to put some of
the Mack brick in Savannah soon if he has
to do it gratis He is now contemplating
a proposition to the city to lay a block of
brick 800 feet long on the busiest part of
Drayton street as an experiment.

GOLD FROM GEORGIA,s HILLS,
Brought to Savannah to BE Assayed.
GeOrgia's Mines Before 40.


quantity of gold was brought to sa-
vannah yesterday by Mr.. ]. o. Robinson
of Cherokee county, for the purpose of
having 1T assayed by Mr. B. F. Finney.
analytical and consulting chemist On ac-
count of having long since abandoned this
kind Of work, and having destroyed the
furnaces used for the purpose, Mr. Finney
could not assay the gold. There is prob
ably, no one else in the city who can ac-
commodate Mr.. Robinson, so that he will
likely have to go elsewhere.
Some Interesting facts about the gold
belt, which passes through North Geor-
gia, together with other facts concerning
the different processes of gold mining,
were obtained from Mr.. Robin
son by a Morning News reporter.
He is decided in his opinion that more at
tention should be directed to gold mining
in North Georgia, and talks enthusiastic
ally of the belt, with which, he is some
what familiar by reason of being a skilled
metallurgist and having devoted several
years to investigations in the vicinity of
his home at Canton. He says this belt
runs southwesteriy from the western edge
of the Carolinas, striking Georgia in Ra-
bun county-the extreme northeastern
part of the state, thence in a straight line
to HARRISON county, on the western bor-
der of the state, The Skies Gold Mining
Company has been formed, and is selling
stock to purchase and work extensive
mines in Cherokee county.
Prior to 1919 the Georgia gold mines
were the richest in the United States.
They were extensively operated as long
as the free gold held out, after which the
western mines, particularly those of Cal
ifornia, were opened up and drew all min
ers there on account of the large deposits
of the free gold. New mines were opened
in other sections of the west, when Cal
ifoTnia run dry of free gold, and the con-
sequence was that the Georgia mines,
rich in gold sulphurettes, have been lost
sight of in the search for free gold.
The amalgamation process is used in re-
filming free gold and the colonization pro-
cess in sulphurettes or gold in the rock.
The latter process obtains in Georgia for
the reason that the sulphuretted gold
abounds mostly. TO mine, mill and chic
rinate gold when this process was first
discovered. cost about $40 per ton of ore,
Mr.. Robinson said but it can now be re-
fined for 81 to $40 per ton of ore The
complicated plant required to refine the
gold and the expense attached to it's es-
tablshment, is what has held the indus
try down in the state. He says the at
tention of capital is being drawn to the
Georgia mines. and predicts that they will
soon be restored by the use of modern pro-
cesses to their old-time productiveness.
