A HARD CASE
Goes to the States Prison to Be Cured
Of the Morphine Habit


Of the Morphine Habit
It Is rather hard when a man realizes
that his only hope is in being sent to the
states prison, and yet that is precisely
the attitude that William Avery took yes
terday.
He was arraigned before Judge Smith
on the charge of having stolen bicycle
and, waving time, stood ready to re-
cedve sentence. The court wanted to
know something about the matter, and
then Avery's story came out. About two
years ago he was treated while lying sick
with hypodermic injections of morphia
to alleviate his pain, and when he recov-
cred he continuedto take a "shot" when
ever he felt twinges of the old complaint.
Soon he was a confirmed morphine fiend,
and there seemed to be no escape for him.
His passion for the drug was such that,
not having hypodermic syringe in his
possession. he stole one and was ar
rested and served. a short time in the city
Jail for petit larceny. Lately, like the
prodigal of old, he came to himself and.
determined to break away from the NOR
phine habit. He knew that of his own
volition he could not do so, and with the
utmost deliberation he went and stole
bicycle that was standing against the
curb Of the street. He then made his way
to Detective Hawley and informed him of
what he had done, and was duly placed
under arrest. Being the second charge
Of petit larceny against him, Avery's
crime ranked as felony, and that was
how and why he appeared before Judge
Smith yesterday.
There was not much room for moraliz-
ing in a case of this kind when the de-
fendant had coolly elected to go to the
penitentiary. and 80 Judge Smith SEN
fenced Avery to two years at San Quen-
tin

ART OF ADVERTISING.

those ideas vary % do the business

. paper. or in other words. when he
is the only man in his line who 10
reaching the readers Of that paper,
he at once becomes imbued with
spirit of economy, and withdrsws
his ad. Undoubtedly the ad. is
doing him more good then that 1T
any other time. He figures that his
competitors are saving money and
he therefore denies himself what
most Of the big advertisers who have
grown rich pay double. and some
times triple regular rates for. i. e.
exclusive use Of . page or paper.
-
Many men in this and every other
community can see no good in ad.
vertieing for which they have to pay.
But the average professional and bus
mess man who never carries . card
because the ethics of hiB profession
do not admit Of it, or because adver.

worthy Of better cause.

The Fire Commission Carpet.

Savannah. June Z, 1S97.-Editor Morning
News: In this mornings News appears a
local article stating that the fire COM
missioners have presented the city with
a bill for $500 for carpetlng a room Is by
20 feet In dimensions, at the new fire de-
partment headquarters. ana Chairman
Grayson Is quoted as saying that the
carpet cost 81 per square yard" by a
simple arithmetical calculation Il can be
ascertained that a room OF the size OF the
one described above contains exactly 1874
square yards. Adding 70 per cent. for
waste In fitting the carpet-an addition
which ! fancy few carpet dealers would
claim In these days OF close competition
we bring the quantity up to 40 square
yards. which, az 81 per square yard, would
amount TO $40 or less than half OF the
bin which the aldermen held up.
Without commenting on the propriety
of lifting up fire headquarters on a scale
OF luxury consistent with body Brussels
carpeting at 81 per square yard, this
transaction, n the facts as stated were
correctly given 20 the Morning
News. suggests remarkable care
lessness IN the auditing methods
Of the IRE commission, and
abundantly justines the aldermen in the
course they have pursued In the matter.
Continued scrutiny IN the same line might
develop other instances OF carelesancss
and extravasancc quite as glaring Turn

Savannah, June 7.-Editor Morning
News; The short paragraph in your pa
per this morning in reference to my COM
ing off Col Warng RusselPs bond as
county treasurer, without explanation,
may leave the impression on the minds of
some people that 1t was brought about by
some misunderstanding between us. The
very contrary was the fact Il so hap
pened that I was unable to make clear
titles to property sold by me for the rea-
son that my being on this security bond
operated as a lien on my property, and
my withdrawal became necessary to clear
the titles. As soon as Mr.. Russell dis
covered my embarrassment he very cheer
fully offered to relieve me at once, and
united with me In requesting such action
by the governor. Respectfully your,
