PAYING THE INTEREST.

Many Dcpositors Leave 1t to BE
Credited 20 Their Accounts
AT all the savings banks in the city
yesterday the depositors were calling and
having the l per cent. quarterly interest
credited 10 their accounts. Where the
accrued interest was simply allowed to
remain the interest, with most all the
banks, is compounded. While the notice
was given depositors to come forward
and receive their credits, there are a
great many who did not do so, but will
be satisd ed with waiting until it suits
their convenience. Among those institu-
lions paying depositors were the Ogle-

Savannah Bank and Trust Company. The
last quarters interest on deposits for this
year will be paid Jan. J. 1898.

Graham Stabbed Two and Had to
Give Bond For His Appearance.
Tho parties engaged IN the ARRAY near
Futch's store. four miles from the city
on the Louisville road, on Sept "a, were
able to appear in Justice Waring Rus
sells court yesterday for trial. The free
dom of Elliott Graham, colored. was at
stake, he being charged with an assault
with intent to murder Nellie and Sherman
Smith.
The evidence, it is said. developed that
a general row ensued at Futch's store,
in which the three engaged Elliott era
ham is the son-in-law OF Nellie Smith
and a brother-in-law to Sherman Smith,
the two people whom he stabbed so serl-
ously. The difficulty grew out of some
remarks made about Graham, and which
he called upon the gosslDers to retract.
This was the cause of bringing out hot
words, and a fight followed, which ended
by the two Smiths receiving several stabs
about the head and shoulders with a
knife handled by Graham. For the time,
the assailant Graham, made his escape,
but was later apprehended and held for
trial on the above charge. Justice Warning
Russell placed Graham under 500 bond
to appear at the November term of the
city court.

AS PUBLIC WEIGHERS.
Several Plant System Employees
Qualify In the Court of Ordinary.

Several Plant System Employees
Qualify In the Court of Ordinary.
Several men, employed by the Plant sys-
TEN, have qualified themselves as public
weighers of freight, ETC., in accordance
with the statutes of the state as defined
in section 16O1 to 2S09 Of the new code,
which requires all scalesmen, statesmen or
other persons who weigh any bale, bag, or
package of cotton, tierce of rice, or other
article of produce disposed Of by weight.
to subscribe an oath before some person
authorized by law to administer oaths
that he will weigh all articles shown him
for that purpose and tender a true ac-
count of them.
The affidavit must be filed with the or
binary and recorded on the minutes of his
court. The penalty in case of non-com-
pliance with the law is punishment as in
cases of misdemeanor.
Those who qualified as such weighers
were Lindsey w. Kirkland, David II. Ur-
quhart, John w. Camden and John P.
Kennedy There are only very few per-
sons in this county who are properly quail
fled as public weighers and the law
seems to be overlooked by the railroads
here, except the Plant system, who have
always been particular in having their
weighers qualified. Several are qualified
as cotton 'Weighers.
The law governing weighers employed
by railroads is as follows: Section 23J9
Whenever any railroad company in this
state shall weigh any cars loaded with
freight to be shipped and charged for by
the carload, such weighing shall be done
by sworn weigher, as provided for the
weighing of cotton, rice and ether pro-
duce.
Section 2,312 of the code prescrbes the
penalty, as follows: Any railroad com
pany failing to comply with any of the
provisions of the three preceding sections
shall be held liable in an action for dam
ages to be brought in the county where
such weighing is done, at the instance of
any person aggrieved, and the recovery
shall be in a sum not less than 500, nor
more than $500 for each offense

The work of loading the vessels in port,
the ship agents say, is now going on rap

that the new gangs are able to stow more
cotton in the holds than they thought
would be the case.
There are now ten steamships in port
that are receiving cotton Among these
are the Coningsby, Richardson & Bar
nard, agents; the Sutherland, the Wesley
Hall, the Bona, Georgia Export and I'm

been let earlier was on account of certain

was in Boston. When the revised plans

no time in getting together and coming to
a prompt conclusion
one of the committee stated that the
object in going slowly had been to keep
the church thoroughly aloof from debt,
and 10 hold all contracts within the limits
of the treasury. Now that the contract
is awarded. it is stated that the necessary
building material will be at once conveyed
TO the church and the commencement of
work viii follow very soon. 1t is expected
that the roof, together with that part Of

let. will be completed within one month.

The indications are that the increase in
the number of pupils in the schools will
be about that which is natural in a city
of the population of Savannah. There are
several causes that are considered as haV-
ing tended to keep down the attendance
on the opening day. cne OF these is the
yellow fever scare. Supt Ashmore Is
aware of several instances in which chill
dren are kept away from the city on ac-
count of the hesitation of the parents to
return from the places of higher altitude
where they have been spending the sum-
mer. 1t is thought that there win be
about 800 more children in the schools than
there were last year.
The figures for the High school show
that there were not as many pupils admit
ted as last year by seventy-four The
decrease occurs almost entirely in the
first grade. 1t appears that those pupils
who have committed themselves to the
higher course will continue in nearly all
instances, Notwithstanding the establish
ment of the tuition fee. The effect of this
fee has been in doubt. but il now seems
that two divisions of the first grade of the
boys will be necessary as usual, but up to
the present time, there have been only
sufficient number of the girls entered in
the first grade TO form two divisions in
stead of the three that have been custo-
mary. Subsequent entrances may yet
make it necessary TO form three divisions
of the girls in the grade.
1t is known that there will be quite a
number OF High school pupils yet to enter
Many of them are away and will return
grammar schools those of the High school
know that there IS not much chance of
that school becoming crowded and their
seats ieOpardiZed.

Postmaster Haines Denies the
Charges of DISCRIMINATION.

Charges of DISCRIMINATION.
Postmaster Geo S. Raines, when seen
yesterday in reference to the account of
the secret investigation conducted here by
Inspector McGinnis of the postofice de-
partment Of his conduct of the office, pub
lshcd in yesterdays Morning News, said
that he preferred to say nothing about the
matter for the present. Mr.. Haines said,
however, that the charges against him of
Discrimination between white and colored
employees of the office were untrue and
without foundation
The public generally would like to have
little more light on the investigation. The
republican politicians, all Of whom appear
to have been aware Of the investigation,
claim to know no more than has been
stated. If the investigation only succeeded
in bringing out some complaints in refer
ence to ice water and soap and towels,
Postmaster Haines' management of the
Office must be remarkably good. Business
men generally, in discussing the article in
yesterday Morning News, paid high trib-
ute 70 Postma ter Haines' efficiency. Since
he took charge about three and half
years ago, a number of improvements
have been inaugurated, and the general
verdict is that the administration of the
office has been most satisfactory one.
/.
been a difficult one. When he assumed
charge of the Office practically all of the
employees were republicans. Under the
rigid conditions laid down by the civil ser
vice rules he was without the power to
make changes no matter how much he
might feel that they would be to the ad-
vantage of the office. The peculiar restric-
tons OF the civil service were rigidly ad-
hered to by the Cleveland administration
and the result was that the postmaster
was enabled to make but few changes, and
these only when it had been clearly shown
that an employe had been guilty of gross
Violations of the rules.
The result was that Mr.. Haines was
compelled to retain in The Office some em-
ployes, who were not only not in sympathy
with him politically, but who were also
distasteful to him personally. Naturally
there was considerable friction at times
between postmaster and employees and be-
tween employees of opposite political faiths.
That Mr. Haines has been able to give a
satisfactory administration TO the Office
under these conditions. speaks well for his
efforts in that direction.
