GRAND JURY's WORK.
The Leading Features of Their General Pre-
sentiments as Made Yesterday.

~---N~-SS NN ~~NNNS
The grand jury's presentments,
read by Clerk Fendig, of that body, in
the superior courtroom yesterday,
were briefer than the usual output of
such deliberations. They were tersely
phrased and went direct to the core of
the matters discussed.
The presentments gave statement
of ihe county's finances, of the collec-
tion and expenditure of school funds,
deplored the necessity of curtailment
of school expenses and recommended
special tax of one-tenth of one per
cent. to make up the deficiencies there
in. They also warmly commended
Superintendent Franklin, Principal
Colson and the teachers.
OF public buildings the grand jury
did not speak at all favorably. They
declared the jail badly in need of re-
pairs, the old preparatory school build
ings unfit for use, the brick school
building leaking and it's plumbing in
bad shape, and touched similarly on
the Risley school building.
The management and condition of
the convict camps and the convict
farm were eulOglzed, and minor re-
pairs suggested to certain county
roads. Books of all officers were re-
ported correctly kept. DR.. J. A. Butts,
county physician, and Superintendent
Lyles, of the convict force, received
special laudatory mention.
Resolutions were passed by the
grand jury Indorsing the action of the
county commissioners in tearing down
the old courthouse, and expressing the
hope that they will soon supply the
county with the needed new structure.
The presentments closed with the
usual thanks to Judge Sweat, Solicitor
Bennett and the court officers.

THAT WARM HARBOR DEBATE.
What Was Said in Council Thursday Night
Touching the Pilots, Etc.

4OuOuluS Uu6 L llVGSj EGC'
AT Thursday nights council meeting
very lively debate occurred between
Col. Harry F. Dunwody and Col. j. w.
Bennett, the subject being the new har-
Dor ordinance drafted by the former
and recently published in The TIMES.
The ordinance came up for third
reading and passage Thursday night.
On motion Colonel Bennett, who ap-
peared for the pilots, was heard on the
ordinance. Colonel Bennett claimed
that the ordinance provided for the
payment to the harbormasUer of fees
which should, in right and justice, go
TO the pilots. He also claimed that the
ordinance was in conflict with the state
law in some of its provisions. He said
that the pilots, exposed to hardships
and compelled to do extraordinary
hard work, should be given their due,
and hoped that council would not visit
upon them any injustice.
Colonel Dunwody, who represented
the city 10 drafting the ordinance, was
heard by council in reply. Colonel
Dunwody said that he had made spe-
cIal study of harbor regulations, IN or
der to make it as strong as possible,
and stated his belief that it could not
be successfully assalled. He argued
the necessity of harbor policing and of
a harbormaster to attend to it, and
that the best way to collect the harbor-
masters remuneration was by fees
rather than taxes.
Mr.. Dunwody made the statement
that in 1895 the fifteen pilots of this
port made $4,000, $4,000 of which went
for expenses and the balance of which
was clear profit. "They are the best
paid men in town." said the attorney,
'and yet several of them made an at
tempt in the last legislature to make
their profits greater by limiting the
number"
Colonel Dunwody alluded to the
charges of incOmpetency against Har-
bormaster Keller, and cited that the
only instances of recent damage to
vessels in the harbor occurred while
the vessels were in charge of pilots.
He said the pilot commissioners, in
defiance of the body that elected them,
had created harbor pilot, to cause
conflict with the legally deputlzed har-
bormaster.
The ordinance is now with the har-
Dor committee of council. which was
instructed to advise with the attor-
neys as to It's legal status.

TRIED TO INDICT THEM.
A Sensational Story That Leaked Out of the
Grand Jury Room.
condition.

A sensational story has come our
from behind the closed doors of the
grand jury room, and was talked Of
yesterday by the few who possessed
the information.
A determined attempt was made in
the grand jury, by few members, to
secnre the indictment of Messrs. j. 8.
Wright, Fl. Fl. Harvey and e. #.
Coney, the county commissioners of
Glynn, for malicious mischief, the
charge being based on the tearing
down of the old courthouse.
The attempt ingloriously failed. BY
a large majority the indictments were
defeated, and by a similar majority the
grand jury passed resolutions COM
mending the commissioners for what
they had done.

Large Lumber Mill.

J. F. Maull, of Elmore, Ala, and j..
F. Anderson, of Birmingham, Ala,
have spent several days past in the
city on important business. THE
TIMES is reliably Informed that they
were here for the purpose of purchas-
ing, if possible, large quantity of
saw-mill machinery from the big
Crispen island mill. Mr.. Maull con-
templates erecting large mill on an
immense tract of timber land owned
by Mr.. Anderson near bonneville.

The bypnotist put subject in trance
in defiance of an order of the chief of
police, prohibiting it. Carraway and
the subject are both at the barracks,
the hypnOtist refusing to wake up the
sleeping man, and the chief declaring
that he will keep them in Jail until
this is done.

Where the Trouble Was.

During the session of superior
court yesterday, Judge Sweat had
much difficulty in making himself
heard by the jury, although his voice
was as full and round as usual. The
lawyers, and, in fact, all those who
were called upon to make public utter
ance during the ssiop, experienced
the same difficulty. Everybody was
at loss to discover the cause of such
an inexplicabe state of affairs until it
was finally traced to John Iehman's
shirt, the bosom of which was of such
riotous coloring that it would attract
mad bull through brick wall; and
it was the loudness thereof that caused
the acoustic confusion of the court.

TWO NEW COTTAGES.
Joseph Pulitzer and David H. King Give Out
Contracts For Jekyl Homes.

oO0OPA uhu OoFAu LIZ 4A11S NlNO OuU
Contracts For Jekyl Homes.
Contracts have been given out for
the immediate erection of what will be
the two finest cottages on Jekyl ISL
and. One cottage will be for no less a
person than Joseph Pulitzer, proprle-
tor OF the New York World, and the
other for David II. King, a wealthy
New Yorker.
Mr.. Pulitzer's new cottage will be
his second investment on Jekyl, He
purchased last year the handsome
Furness manse and spent thousands
in altering 1t to suit his peculiar
tastes. But with characteristic dissat-
isfaction with everything in general
except his newspaper, Mr.. Pulitzer
decided that he wasn't suited-that
there were too many windows on one
side, too few ON another; that the
porte .coahere wasn't artistic or the
stairways too narrOw-whateve the
trouble, the Worlds owner concluded
to have a new house built. 1t Will
cost between $4,000 and $4,000, and
Will be in all respects the finest on the
island.
Mr.. Kings cottage will be more
modest, but with quiet elegance in
it's architectural effect. 1t will cost
$4,000.
In addition to these new structures,
Mr.. Frederic Baker has given out the
contract for the erection of spacious
conservatory adjoining his cottage,
which will cost we'll up in the thous-
ands.
Thus will some of tue unused capi-
tai of the millionaires find its way into
the channels of local trade and make
glad the hearts of many workmen.

PRAISES THE JURY.

and the court officers.

~ S~~-
Done at This Term.
EDITOR TIMES 1T was my pleasure
to be present in the court room on
yesterday when the grand jury
brought in the recommendations, and
as citizen of Glynn county [ felt
proud that the countv's interests had
been in the hands of so intelligent and
altogether superior body of men. In
residence of ten years I have not
seen better representation of the
better class of our people. The find
ings as read had the ring OF business
in them, and the recommendations if
carried out, will show the betterment
of the county's interest for years to
come. could see a spirit of pleasure
over the features of the judge during
the reading, and his response that not
for years, certainly not since the term
of his occupancy of the bench, had the
dOckets been in the condition they
were today, namely, every case, both
civil and criminal, had been tried and
that for the future the great draw
upon the treasury for jury duty had
materially ended. Altogether, there
was red glow of congratulation upon
the faces of all present that such a
healthy condition of judicial affairs
exists in our dear old Glynn.
Nothing adds so much to the happi-
ness of people as sense of honest
and intelligent administration of the
laws which govern them and to this
principle is due the thrift and pros
perity among all classes. WITNESS.

NOVEL LIBRARY.


The Howard Library, OF Chinatown.
Wis, is certainly unique. 1t has about
1000 books and annual circulation OF
about 5000 volumes, and yet the Ii
brary itself is open but four times a
year. The library was founded by Sid
ney Howard, in memory CT his son,
Knowlton Peck Howard, who settled in
Chinatown some time during the hf-
ties, and who was killed fighting for the
Union during the civil war.
The books OF the library are kept In
a church, which is used by the people
OF all denominations, and is called the
Union Church. The library is open
only four times year-on the first Sat
urdays in March, June, September and
December. At these quarterly meetings
the members gather and return their
borrowed books. The striking feature
OF the management Of the library is its
method OF loaning its books. On the
mornings of the Winter meetings the
members and their families besin to
gather at the library, some of them
driving six or eight miles, bringing
their borrowed books in satchels, bushel
baskets soap boxes and other cOnve-
nient and incCnyenient receptacles, and
their lunches in paper packages, pOck-
cts and pals. The books returned are
examined by the officers and proper
penalties are imposed for loss or misuse
Of books.
Then a business meeting is held, az
ter which the lOaning of the books be-
gins, and there may be fun at any time.
Mr.. A. brings up an armful Of twenty
or thirty books, which ne wishes to
borrow, aL1 pies them on table be-
side the president, who is now. eX-Offi-
clio, lhe auctioneer. This officer calls
of the titles OF the books in rotation,
adding after each: How much am l
ofIered?" It is easy sailing at first. No
one bids on some OF the books, which
have been in the library a few years,
but when the auctioneer holds up Be
side the Bonnie Briar Bush" which
Mr.. y. and Mrs. c. want, the bidding
starts, and before Mr.. A. gets the new
volume he has agreed to return a good
share CT its cost to the common treas
ury. Sometimes rash young man has
bOasted that he would take a certain
, book home with him, and his comrades,
with many sly winks, quietly raised the
bids 10 the limit of prudence before
Letting him have il. On a number oil
occasions a husband and wife, while
J separated by the crowd, have unwit-
tingly bid against each other and paid
a round sum for a book that the family
