HEALTH OFFICER SURPRISED.
Did Not Expect the Drainage Forces
to BE Cut Down.

Health Officer LeHardy received yester-
day copy OF the resolution passed at the
last meeting of the county commissioners,
directing that one-half Of the convicts at
work on the outskirts Of the city be re-
moved and placed on the county road
work.
The matter came In the nature Of a
surprise to the health officer, because Of
the fact that he had received no intima-
ton Of the intention Of the commission
ers to withdraw the colvicts for possibly
some time yet. and had proceeded to map
out important drainage work for them 70
do in he next week or so. He had just
taken trip around the suburbs with
view to ascertaining exactly Just what
work was needed and what localities
should be given attention first. Upon re-
turning from the first "Trip last Tuesday
he prepared report and forwarded it TO
Chairman D. 5. LathrOp of the county
commissioners drainage committee, that
the convicts might be directed TO the
places which the city health authorities
desired to drain As all OF the convictS
We're needed to do the work which the
health authorities were contemplating, the
surprise which DIT. LeHardy felt when he
received the notice may well be imagined.
He had not consulted any of the COM
missioners, and was not expecting the
withdrawal at this time.
DR.. LeHardy said that if the work which
has been MAPPED out by himself in the
last few days could have been done, he
did not think there would be any COM
plants in the future in so far as malaria
is concerned. While the convicts were in
the control Of the commissioners and could
be removed at their pleasure. yet he
thought that it would have been even
more profitable for the county to have
allowed the city authorities to have gone
ahead with the draining, than to have re-
moved the convicts at this time, and left
the work unfinished. While the greater
need is in the eastern and western portions
Of the city, which have been completed
in the main, still there are several locali-
ties which he had examined in the west
ern portion that are yet in a very bad
sanitary condition.
Concerning the smallpox, a few cases
of which is now reported to be in At
lanta, the health officer said that he be-
lieved the best way to avoid that disease
is by vaccination and not by quarantine.
He is a believer in natural remedies. He
has a quantity OF the vaccine points left
in his office, which be had by any on
who will call for them.

BOTH WANTED TO MARRY HIM.
The Hand of Nose Williams Eagerly
Sought by Two Women.

Sought by Two Women.
Annie Flowers. colored rushed into the
Office of the ordinary yesterday morning
and handing the clerk 3 in coin, said hur-
riedly and excitedly:
please, sir, keep this money until I
can get the other quarter. an if another
woman comes here for license to marry
Nose Williams don't you let EN- have it,
Please, sir, tell EN- he's done got anoth-
er license"
With that she rushed out hurriedly and
returned In less than five minutes with
the balance of the purchase money, an
even twenty-five cents. 1t appears that
another woman named Lillian Stokes had
had Nose arrested, and the Flowers girl
wanted to head her off by marrying him
first.
In the meantime Nose williams, who is
colored laborer employed at the Cen
tral railroad wharf was seated in Justice
Bevan's Office under arrest. Pretty soon
upon the outside of the office appeared
the two women provided with marriage
licenses, and both were seeking to marry
poor Nose, who had no choice in the mat
ter himself, so it seemed.
The justice issued a warrant at the in
stance of Lille Stokes, who lives at No.
4S .Guerard street. which charged VIII
liams with a serious offense. He had
been arrested while at work at the wharf
and remained at the Justices Office from
early morning until closing time in the
evening, in order that the two women
who were lurking around on the outside,
might have an opportunity to come to
some sort of an understanding about who
should be the better half. The other wo-
man who had obtained license and who
was seeking to marry Nose, was a very
dark skinned negress named Annie Flow
ers
1t seems that the confused state of af-
fairs which prevailed around the Office
of Justice Bevans for quite a while was
brought about by Nose himself who act
ing without the advice of legal counsel,
thought that his marrying Annie Flow
ers, the girl he loved, would exonerate
him from the complaint which Lille Will
Jams, the girl he had injured, was bring
ing against him. When both Of the women
appeared at the office of Justice Bevans,
it created some merriment for a time to
think that a large, burly fellow like Nose
should be such a favorite.
No understanding was reached by the
women and the result was that the man
had to go to Jail on the warrant which
had been issued against him. He will have
trial before Justice Bevans Monday

FAILED TO CANCEL STAMPS.
Parties Charged with An Internal
Revenue Law Violation.


Revenue Law Violation.
Several parties have been before the
United States commissioner recently upon
the charge of drawing beer from kegs
without first cancelling or destroying the
internal revenue stamps on Them which
is a violation of section 1914 of the Revised
Statutes of the United States. In one or
two instances the parties have been turn
ed over to the grand jury of the district
court for an investigation into the cases.
1t appears. however, in most of the in
stances that the violation on the part
of the defendants is a technical one arts
ing, perhaps, from a misunders tanding of
the law, or through carelessness, and now
and then no doubt Intentionally.
The law requires that the stamp shall
be put over the spigot hole in the end of
the key, and that the stamp shall be cam
celled by driving the spigot through it and
into the keg. Some barKeepers tap their
beer from the side of the key and do not
open the spigot hole in the end al all, thus
forgetting or neglecting to cancel the
stamps as required by law
Several parties We're before the district
court on this charge about year ago.
They were indicted by the grand jury and
were sentenced by Judge Speer to pay a
small fine.

officer, but was soon placed under arres,
for his conduct.
The two negroes, Ed Harris and Amos
Fannnigs, who were arrested by Chief
McDermott while they were attempting
to enter house on the Louisville roa
were found to be guilty as charged and

Pomp Johnson, the negro who is wanted
on account of the death of Minerva
Brown, is still at large. He is the man who
struck the Brown woman with rock in
August, the effects of which were sup
posed to have caused her death. A close
watch is being kept for the man, whose
flight is taken as sign of his guilt. No in
quest has been held by the coroner.

TRIP OF THE BoNDHOLDERs.
OmciaIs on a Tour of the GeOrsin
and Alabama.

The party of Georgia and Alabama rail-
road bondholders arrived early yesterday
morning by the Plant system. Their sleep
er was transferred to the Georgia and Ala
bama tracks. and the party left in the
morning train on a tour of the road
There are ten in the party. Eight, in
Guiding President John Shelton Williams,
came from Richmond, among them being
T. c. Williams, a prominent tobacco man
ufacturer; T. S. Branch, a banker, and
Maj. Dooey, capitalist. Vice President
and General Manager Cecil Gabbett and
Director John D. Stetson, of Macon came
down on the early morning train Of the
Central to join the party from Richmond
At Abbeville the party took a special
train for Fitzgerald. and after inspecting
that youthful city, went on TO Americas.
That place has many attractions for the
bondholdes, chief of which is the
companys splendid shops. The party was
shown over these and the inspection of
the latest patterns Of machinery and the
admirable equipments was doubtless sat
isfactory.
The Americas paper stated that the may
or and board Of trade Of the city would
meet the bondholders and show them the
city. reception at the Windsor hotel
was also on the programme. AT Americas
it was thought there would be some thirty
I'm the party. 1t was never expected by the
officials that there would be more than
twenty. The Baltimore bondholders were
asked to make the trip, but for some rea-
son they decided not 70 do so. The yell
low fever scare is said to have had some
thing to DO with keeping down the size of
the party.
Last night was to have been spent at
Columbus and this morning the pro-
gramme was for the party TO be on the
way to Montgomery. Tonight it was to
return to Savannah. The visitors are eX-
pected to spend tomorrow here, leaving at
night for their homes.
This will be the first trip Of most of the
party over the line of the Georgia and
Alabama There have recently been a
number of improvements and develop
ments that will impress the strangers with
the equipment and management of the
property and that will show those who
have been over it before what the energy
and ability of the executive officers have
accomplished.
It was found impossible by the Savannah
directors to accompany the Richmond
party on the trip. The Savannahians
would have liked to have gone but BUSH
ness prevented.

OCTOBER MAKING UP FOR 1T.
Most As Far Ahead In Temperature
As September Was Behind.


The law OF averages holds good in the
weather as well as in other things.
September lacked 81 degrees of the aver
age temperature. October, up to yester-
day, had 46 degrees to its credit, above the
average. At that rate the two months will
even up pretty well If one did get most Of
the cold and the other the warm weather.
There has barely been a day this month
that the record has not been above the
normal temperature. September is usually
credited with being an uncomfortable
warm, muggy month. This year, however
was an exception The lowest temperature
known in that month was recorded by the
weather bureau. Forty-six degrees is an
unprecedented temperature for September
in Savannah. October started in right
away, however, to make up for 1t, and The
chances are that by the end of the month
there will be hot weather TO spare. There
is yet no forecast of cooler weather.
