what Many Men Do.

A generous man provides his family with
the comforts of home while alive. A con-
seientious man will try to leave enough
life insurance to assure these comforts af-
ter his death. A wise man will see that he
gets from a solid and conservative old
company policy which not only protects
his family, but also himself in day of
need, policy with a definite cash value
for each year after the first on which he
can borrow money from the company. He
wants also a definite amount of paid-up
participating insurance stated in the pol
icy and he wants a policy paying annual
dividends in cash to reduce the cost each
year or, dividends in additional insurance
with an annual cash value or, dividends
left with the company at compound in
terest to lessen the number of premiums
called for by the contract. The Massa-
chusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company
organized 1851, issues this wise mans policy
on healthy lives. You can secure a sample
copy by sending your age, and address to
Harry & Appel, general agents for Geor-
gia. III Bay street, east Reliable agents
can secure good contracts for unoccupied

CONTESTS NEARING A CLOSE.
| illegal Voting shown in Both the
Fifth and Seventh DistrIct4.

The witnesses for the defendants in two
election contests were examined yester-
day.
one of the cases was that in the Seventh
district. where ex-Justiee Mcleod King
is coutesting the election of Robert Nc
Intosh. The other was that in the Fifth
district. where T. W. Shekeils is disputing
the legality of Justice Il. j. McIntire' s
election.
The contestants in both of these cases
have submitted AL of their evidence. A
number of witnesses for both King. in the
Seventh, and Shekells. in the Fifth dis
trict, were examined some days ago, and
damaging evidence was undoubtedly
brought to bear on the election. In both
districts it was shown that there had been
illegal votes cast.
The ahidavits Of the witnesses for Nc
Intosh in the Seventh district were taken
by Justice Cleary, eX-officio magistrate Of
the district, at the office of Mr.. George w.
owens. Mr.. Owens represents the con-
testee, Mcintosh, but on account of his
illness, Judge A. II. MacDonell looked out
for his clients interests. Mr.. John Ses-
SONS represents King.
Some six or seven witnesses were exam
med, and one was proven by his affidavit
disqualified from voting. Three others
sWore they had rendered the tax collector
payment OF their taxes, and that he had
refused 10 accept the money These four,
as stated, were McIntosh's witnesses, and
the issue will now be, IL seems, to discover
whether the right to vote is forfeited un-
der such conditions as the three witnesses
swOre to.
Mcintosh was elected over King by
eleven votes. The vote was IS to II. Evil
dence for the contestant showed some
dozen or so Illegal votes. The case will be
rather knotty one for the superior court
judges decision. The affidavts in justice
election contests take that course
Mr.. Thomas S. Morgan, Jr., attorney
for Justice McIntire, in the Shekells-Mc
lntire contest in the Fifth district. SAYS
That Shekells has no chance. Justice Nc
lntire was reelected by a good, big ma
jority, and 1t will be hard to show that
enough Of his votes were illegal to have
changed the result of the election.
The attorneys for Shekels Messrs.
Oliver and Morrison, are confident of
deposing Justice McIntire, however. They
caused the examination OF some fifteen
or more witnesses, and ELECTED evidence
that besides showing Illegal votes for
Mclntire, damaged the managers of the
election.
The examination in the Fifth was held
before Justice Blois, the districts ex-of-
ficio magistrate. The evidence showed a
few Illegal votes for Shekells.
Both cases seem to be close, partcu-
larry that of the Seventh district. The
examination for that district has not quite
concluded, as the privilege has been ac-
corded Mr.. Owens of looking over the
evidence taken yesterday on Monday, and
seeing If there is anything else he wants
to bring IN.

THEY ONLY WANT SECURITY.
Mr.. West Says the Central Has Not
Endorsed the Eatonton Bonds.

Mr. Chas. ". West, who represents
the bondholders of the Eatonton Branch
railroad, was asked yesterday about the
statement made by a bondholder of the
Middle Georgia and Atlantic railroad, in
an interview in yesterdays Morning News,
to the effect that the Eatonton Branch
railroad bondholders ought to be satisfied
with the Endorsement on their bonds of
the Central of Georgia Railway Company
Il saw the reported interview with
some gentleman interested in the Middle
Georgia and Atlantic In this morning s
paper" Mr.. West said, land must say
tnat l was very much surprised by it. l
DO not believe that the gentleman had
ever read the bill which has been filed, for
| am quite sure that he would not then
have made the statements which are quot
ed from him.
Il have always deprecated fighting legal
battles In newspapers, and now l do not
intend TO be drawn into any controversy
upon this subject. But ii Is the sheereSt
justice to the Eatonton bondholders to say
! that the purpose of their bill is wholly
mistaken. They have not attacked any
railroad organization by It, nor have they
tried to defeat any sale, nor will they de-
feat any sale neither is the object of the
bill 20 lessen or impair in any way the
value of any security. But as they have
the guarantee of the Middle Georgia end
Atlantic railroad for the payment of the
Eatonton bonds, and as il was upon the
! lalth OF tnat guarantee that the EatOntOn
road was sold TO the Middle Georgia and
| Atlantic, and as now the Middle Georgia
| and Atlantic has sold all of its property
| to the Central and as the Central has not
| endorsed the bonds of the Eatonton
| branch railroad In any manner, it does not
| seem that the Eatonton bOndholders GO
| very far in asking the court to take bold
| of the purchase money to be given by the
/ Central OF Georgia for the Middle Georgia
| and Atlantic's property and to hold it la
| BILE for the guarantee. AT any rate, that
| is the desire and the sole desire OF the
| Eatonton bondholders, and all that talk
| about destruction Of railroad interest, and
| endorsement by the Central railroad oil
the Eatonton bonds evidently came from
i want of full Information as to the nature
/ OF the proceedings
When questioned further about the mat
| ter Mr.. West stated that not only haC
| the Central not offered TO indorse tn,
| bonds of the Eatonton branch road, bu
| he had positive information, he said tina
| the Central did not expect to do 1t.
Mr.. West was also asked about the re
| port that the bondholders of the Eatontor
| branch are trying to force the Middle
/ Georgia and Atlantic railroad people {
| pay them par for their holdings, whereas
| they are worth about S on the market.
| There is no truth whatever in such
| statement" Mr.. West said. 1.-The fac
| is, we very much prefer to have a pei
! cent. gold bond as al present, than to take
/ the cash for them at par All we want I,
! full and ample security for the indebted
| ness a security as good as the indorse

assaulted the sister of Policeman Joyner

Policeman Joyner and party of friends

yesterday from Policeman Joyner, telling
him to look out for Williams on train 40

road, which reaches Savannah in the
afternoon. Detectives Kiley and Souly
were at once sent out on an outgoing train

on It to the city. They did so but did not
see or hear anything of the negro.
Williams is described as being feet in
