THOUGHT HE WOULD JOLLY HIM.
Benton Paid S25 for EIis Joke on the
Quarantine Inspector.

Mr.. L. o. Benton of Monticello, Ga,
mention of whose arrest for violating the
quarantine regulations has been made by
the Morning News, paid SO yesterday for
his little joke Mr.. Benton came down on
the Central train two or three days ago.
He was feeling good, but told passengers
on the train that he was just from New
Orleans and was feeling very badly.
This made some of the passengers nerv-
Gus, and although the car was crowded,
Mr.. Benton had a seat to himself wherever
ne pleased to take it, AT Meldrlm ne was
put off by the inspectors because ne had
no health certificate. on the advice OF the
inspectors he wired a physician at his
home at Monticello and was telegraphed
a certificate that would have been salts
factory in every respect. Instead OF ex-
hibiting the certificate to Inspector HUH,
with whom his previous dealings had oeeh'
Mr.. Benton boarded a Georgia and Ala
bama train for Savannah. The circum-
stances of his arrest following information
received from Inspector Hull have already
been published.
Mr.. Benton stated In police court yester-
day morning that he thought Inspector
Hull was the town marshal and that he
would jolly him a little. After receiving
his certificate he showed it to Inspector
Habersham, but when approached by MI.
Hull told the latter that he had no GER
tihcate, still supposng him TO be the town
marshal. The moral is that 1t Is best not
to monkey with the quarantine.
A trunk from Atlanta, which was stop
ped at Jesup by Inspector Hanley, be-
cause 1t had not been fumigated, was
ordered shipped back to that city for fu-
migation by Health officer LeHardy.

OVER 1000 VACCINATED.
Vaccine Points Now Being Literally
Used in the City.


The work of vaccinating the peop1e Of
Savannah, and especially the younger gem
Grafton. has proceeded very rapidly dur
ing the last two weeks
Over 1000 vaccine points have been is
sued by the health officer, and it is safe
to say that fully that number and more
persons have been vaccinated during this
time, as each point can be used to vacci-
nate two or more persons. The city ply
sicians especially have been kept very busy
with this work, and numbers of children.
both white and black, have been vacci-
mated by them.
DR.. LeHardy requests the Morning News
to state that fresh vaccine points are re-
ceived daily and furnished gratis, So that
every one can get them on application
DR. LeHardy is DESTROYS of having every
body vaccinated.
1T is simply matter of luck that we
have not had case of smallpox here. :"
said he TO a Morning News reporter 1--WE
have been surrounded by il on all sides.
The only safeguard is vaccination and
it is the duty of all persons who have
not been vaccinated during the last five
years to attend to this matter at once
Adults who have been vacelnated during
that time do not need to he revaccinated
but all young people who have not been
vaocinated within that time should be
reVaccinated."

HOW tn Save MoneY.

The half-page advertisement Of Foye &
Morrison in this issue is of interest to
every lady in Savannah. This live house
has determined to give list of bargains
that are bargains, indeed. There is no
halfway measure, but goods of the high
est quality and of this seasons production
are offered at extremely low figures. Foye
& Morrison are always the leaders-not
only in stock, style and quality, but in
lowness of price. No dry goods house in
the state can offer such inducements, and
none can compare in the exquisite lines
now displayed for the fall and winter sea-
son. A careful perusal of the advertise
ment on page will save money to the
purchaser and give perfect satisfaction at
the same time.-ad.

COMMUNICATED.
No Special Need for Inspectors of
Food.

No Special Need for Inspectors of
Food.
Editor Morning News: Dear Sir-Almost
daily we find some communication in the
papers regarding the adulteration of food
and milk and the unwholesome vegetables
and meats, insisting upon putting an ex-
ira burden on the taxpayers to employ
extra inspectors This also sets politicians
to hustling for the new jobs, putting our
mayor and aldermen to their wits ends
to satisfy the office-seekers and to RENE
dy something of which they know nothing
about.
That kind Of thing is all bosh The
proper thing for the people to do is to
patronize responsible dealers. Those who
have a reputation and cannot afford TO
sell goods that are not fit TO eat; those
who do not hunt up odd jobs and cheap
causing the attendance of a physician
and bringing on an expense ten times the
amount that would have been paid for
first-cass goods, bought from a RESPONSE
BILE, up-to-date dealer.
There would be no need of inspectors II
people insist upon buying only whole
some food. Get the best; then when you
sit down to a meal you'n enjoy it and bO
healthy and happy.
1t is needless to state that the very best
of everything is sold by
-ad. H. Logan, The Butcher.

PRES. Conner HAS THE PROXY.
HE WILL VOTE THE 10000 SHARES
OF THE CENTRAL STOCK.

The Same Board of Directors VIII
Re Reelected on Oct. 12-Assur-
ance That the Present Board Is
satisfactory-same BOARD Means
the same Executive Ohicers-Tal<
of Changes Set at Rest-AH But
Three of the Directors Reside in
Georgia.
There will be no change in the board
of directors of the Central Of Georgia
Railway Company. The same board will
be reelected when the annual meeting
of the stockholders is held here on oct.
p. The fact that the same board of di-
rectors will continue to control the prop
erty indicates that the same executive Of
feers will be at its head, as has already
been stated.
A letter was received by President H.
M. Conner from New York yesterday that
had enclosed the proxy of the majority
stock that is held in that city. Either he
or Vice President John NJ. Egan is en-
powered to vote the stock, and the letter
states that the present board of directors
would be entirely satisfactory to the hold
ers of the majority stock.
When Mr.. Conner was last north he ask
ed that the proxy be sent him, so that
he might vote it at the meeting. The
holders readily assented. While he was in
the northwest on his trip Mr.. Conner wrote
TO the representative of the stockholders
at New York, requesting that the proxy
be so made out as to enable either him
self or Mr. Egan to vote it. He did this
for fear that he might not get back in
sufficient time to attend the meeting, in
which event Mr.. Egan would be able to
vote the stock.
The receipt of this letter sets at rest
the speculation in which the public has
been INDUCING in the matter of the presi-
dental succession. 1t has been freely as
serted as the belief of many that Mr..
Conner would resign, and that he would
be succeeded by Mr.. Egan. Both gentle
men have denied any knowledge of any
such thing being contemplated, but some
tongues have continued to wag and wise
heads have been shaken in a manner to
indicate that their owners knew too much
and Judged too much from signs to believe
that the executive head of the road would
be the same after this month.
The Central railroad is now on splen-
did paying basis and the continuance in
office of the present board Of directors
will be a matter of congratulaton to the
southern holders of the securities of the
road. All but three of the members of
the board live in Georgia. These three
reside in New York

CHARGED WITH PERJURY.
A. S. Aaron Alleged to Have Sworn
Falsely in Court.

As d
Falsely in Court.
A. s. Aaron was arrested late yesterday
afternoon on a warrant charging him with
having sworn falsely in a lawsuit, which
was tried before Justice Nathans last
Wednesday, and in which he was the
plaintiff. He was taken before Justice
Bevans, who issued the warrant, at the
instance of B. d. Deutscher. A bond of
$500 was required for his release.
1T appears that Aaron claims to have
been in the employ of Deutscher, who
conducts tailor shop on Broughton
street, and to collect back salary, which
he claimed was due him as clerk, com
menced a suit against his employer for
the recovery of $50. The suit was tried
before Justice Nathans, who rendered a
judgment in favor of Aaron for $50, this
amount being a sort of compromise. It
is said that Deutscher denied the account
and protested that Aaron had never been
in his employ.
The sequel to the suit, however, was
the arrest of Aaron on the charge of per
jury 1t being claimed that he had sworn
falsely to certain points with reference to
some carpenter work, which he claimed
he had done for Deutscher, The latter
claimed TO Justice Bevans that he could
now bring forward the carpenter who had
performed the work, which Aaron swore,
in the suit he had in Justice Nathan's
court, he had done himself. 1t was upon
the strength of this discrepancy in the
proof that Justice Bevaf& says he issued
the warrant

EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE.
Tug Dauntlcss Broke Up Things
Badly at the Quatantine station.

Tug DauntIcss Broke Up Things
Badly at the Quarantine Station.
The damage done to the quarantine sta
ton by the tug Dauntless in handling the
Norwegian bark Ragne at the station
Thursday, proves to have been larger
than was first anticipated.
Alderman w. f. Reid. chairman of the
harbor committee of council, acted
promptly in the matter, and dispatched
an experienced wharf builder to the sta
ton the day following the accident. The
report of the expert was received yester-
day by Alderman Reid. 1t states that the
eastern ballast run was torn down for a
distance of seventy feet, and the balance
of the run badly twisted. The mast and
boom of the derrick used in discharging
ballast, was thrown down and badly dam
aged. In the opinion of the expert the
cost for repairs will not be less than 1925.
Bids for making the repairs viii be called
for at once, and the work pushed as rap
idly as possible.
The quarantine station has also had
trouble recently with the hosting engine
used in removing ballast from the holds of
vessels, which was damaged by the use
of poor coal. 1t was necessary to get an
other engine to do the work for a time.
On account of the crippled condition of
the station, extra labor has been neces-
sary 10 facilitate the work. The regular
engine will probably be in shape for work
Monday. The extra men will be continued
for the present, however, and until there
is a lUll in the rush of work there. There
are now nine ships at the station wait
ing their turn, and as fast as one is dis
patched another one arrives TO take its
place. The number of vessels arriving
this season is much larger than last.

The First Question People ASK

The First Question People Ask
When a man dies, IS how much life in
surance did he have? This question is
the natural interest that is manifested
in the welfare of the bereaved family.
Would it not be well for you to ask your
self this question? Have you enough life
insurance, if not, is it not your duty to
attend to the matter without further de
lay? The man who reads this and thinks
it is good logic, should also take the pre-
caution to investigate the policies of the
Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance
Company, organized 1851. The company
writes in every policy, the amount of
cash and paid-up participating INSURANCE,
available on any anniversary after the
first, and, in addition to these values,
pays handsome dividends every year. The
company also makes liberal loans on Its
policies. The laws of the commonwealth
of Massachusetts do more to protect pol
icy-holders without at the same time be-
ing burdensome to the company, than the
laws of any other state in the union. 1t
costs nothing to investigate. Write, Civ
ing your age and address, to Harty &
Apple, general agents for Georgia. III Bay
street east, who will cheerfully send full
particulars. Ladies insured, same rates
as men.-ad.

STREET RAILWAY LINES.
Report May he Made to Council the
Latter Part of the Month.

The matter of revision of the street
railway lines of the city, which are now
operated by one system, Is under consid
Grafton by the street and lane committee
of council. The committee has held sew
eral meetings to consider the subject but
has as yet reached no conclusion. The
committee will consider the matter further
and will probably make report to council
at the second regular meeting this month.
Alderman T. j. Davis, chairman of the
committee, said yesterday that he had as
yet had no conference with Director ]. N
Hartman since the latters return from
New York. The map submitted by the
railway company about three months ago
showing the desired changes, a statement
of which was published in the Morning
News at the time, is under consideration
by the committee. The proposed changes
submitted are extensive and would do
away with several miles Of track. II Is
not likely however, that council Will con-
sent 20 give the company any guarantee
of an exclusive right to streets from which
track is removed as against any other
company which may apply for these
streets.

Unless n Guard Comes for Futch To-
day He VIII Get His Liberty.
w. C. Futch, the man charged with be-
ing a deserter from the United States
army, still remains a prisoner at the police
barracks. Chief McDermott sent a tele-
gram to Col Cook at Ft. Mcpherson yes
terday, however, at whose instance it is
understood Futch is being held, stating
that if a guard did not reach Savannah by
u o'clock to-day. the prisoner would be
released. Whether or not a guard is 'on
the way, is not known, but present indica-
tons would leave the impression that if
he is not, Futch viii soon be given his
liberty
determination Of Chief McDermott to re-
lease him at noon to-day. in case no one
showed up, because OF the fact that he
sent for az attorney to take charge oe his
case. He unhesi.atingly admits that he was
enlisted az Fort Mcpherson and deserted.
When seen by a Morning News reporter,
Futch stated that he enlisted I'm the army
here in Savannah IN 1892, under a recruit
ing officer. He was detailed to St. Angus
tine, where he remained until about
year go, when he was transferred to Fort
Mcpherson. He says.that he remained at
that barracks until he recently left, COM
ing to Savannah. As a reason for leaving
he states that information had reached
him that his mother had gone blind and
that he wanted TO temporarily depart from
his post to visit her. He states he intended
TO return.
