the police force Aug. p. 1870, the occasion
being observed by appropriate ceremonies.
Inc building is plain brick structure,
without ornamentation, fronting 100 feet
on Oglethorpe avenue, with a depth of
$50 feet and three stories in hight.
The first floor is divided in the middle
by sallyport, after the old style, afford
ing entrance and exit for men on horse
back or on foot, to and from the yard in
the rear. On the west of the sallyport is
the police court room, while to the east
are the offices Of the chief and assistant
chief, and the sergeant's office, where all
reports OF arrests are made and records
Kept The second and third floors are de-
voted TO sleeping quarters, the sergeants
having separate sleeping room on the
second floor. There is also a storeroom
and detective room on the second floor.
The sleeping quarters are provided with
aron cots and bedding, each man having
a separate cot At the head of each cot
Is a locker, and the men are required to
Keep their uniforms and equipments in
their lockers, when not on duty. Every
thing about the quarters Is scrupulously

than the large city and association for the
prevention Of crime and the detection of
criminals is as necessary for the marshal
of the small village as for the chiefs OF
the large cities. In order that communi-
cation and action may be prompt and ef-
fective it is necessary that the officers
OF the law should understand each other,
that there should be some agreed basis of
cooperation, that when one officer seeks
assistance of another he may do so with
the assurance that his request will meet
with prompt and intelligent attention.
This is the prime object Of the associa-
tioa.
II is expected that the convention will
be the most largely attended of any yet
held Some well known officials win be
present, among the number Chief Arthur

The annual convention of the Associa-
ton of Chiefs of Police, sheriHs and
Marshals of the State of Georgia will be-
gin in Savannah Tuesday and will last
three days.
The gathering is likely to prove one of
much interest. The chiefs, sherims and
marshals seldom come in contact with
each other, their duties conhning them
almost entirely to their respective cities
and counties and the opportunity to meet,
mingle and exchange ideas Is one of the
chief advantages of the convention.
In this age Of rapid transportation the
slick criminal gets in his work and prompt
~ puts distance between him and the
scene of his crime. Happily for the execu-
tors Of the law the telegraph and the long
distance telephone are swifter than steam
and the murderer or the boodler often fnds
the detective waiting for him on his ar
rival at his destination.

police occupy comfortable and commodious

When in 1861 the confederate government
took possession Of the old Oglethrope
barracks, where the De Soto now stands
on Liberty street, the city which had by
courtesy Of the government, occupied
part of the barracks as police headquart-
ers, was compelled to find other quarters
for the force. The present site, east Of
Colonial park, was secured, the lot having
a frontage OF 100 feet on Oglethorpe avenue,
by depth of 400 feet on Habersham street.
Shortly afterwards the present guard
house was built about the center of the
lot fronting towards Habersham street.
The guard house was used
as office. headquarters and lookup
until after the war. The guard house is
forty feet square, with eight cells in the
rear Of the first floor each SKI, and two
rooms. one Of which is now used as a
kitchen, whore the prisoners meals are
cooked, ana the other as the turkeys
room where the prisoners are searched
before being locked up. AT the same lime
q substantial stable, 9S feet long by IS feet
wide. with stalls for thirty horses, was
erected. There was no Gamewell sys-
tenn in those days and no patrol wagon,
and until long afterwards the police tug
ged their often unwilling prisoners
through the streets to the station house.
As soon as the war clouds had partially
blown aside and the citizens of Savannah
had regained control Of their city, which,
fortunately they were enabled to do
shortly after the war, the need of more
commodious quarters for the police which
had already been recognized was given
prompt attention.
The design for the new quarters was
drawn by the city engineer. the late j.
=. Hogg, and work was begun upon the
building in 1869. The building was com

CLERKS AND sHERIFFs CONVENE.
Their Annual Convention to Begin
Wednesday.

Their Annual Convention to Begin
Wednesday.
Wednesday the clerks and sheriffs of
Georgia will begin their convention.
Mr.. ]. O. Beauchamp Of Butts county, is
president of the association. The two vice
presidents are Messrs. c. A. Powell of
Macon county, and Mr.. M. l.. Cooper of
Houston county. The secretary and treas
urer is Mr.. c. A, Powell of Macon county
The association of clerks and sheriffs of
the various counties of Georgia was form
ed several years ago, and they have held
annual conventions since that time usual
ly in July. Last year the meeting was at
Indian Springs.
The chief purpose of the convention Is
the promotion of good fellowship among
the officers of the city and superior courts.
They also seek by union to obtain a rec
tidcation of the laws by which they may
regulate more satisfactorily the fee system
in their varied lines of work.
The annual conventions usually consist
of a business session, at which papers
are read and discussed as to the most de-
sirable methods of attending to the work
of the courts which lie in the hands of
these officers. At these business sessions
there Is always much that interests and
instructs. The clerks and sheriffs get to-
gether and talk about the drawing Of
certain court papers and how they should
be served, and all such matters of bust
ness pertaining to their Offices
The main feature of the conventions.
however, is the social mingling afforded
by the gathering of so many court officers.
There Is always programme Of enter
