FOOD INSPECTOR INSTRUCTED.
DIR. LeHnrdy Told Mr.. Well of the
Duties He VIII Perform.

Health officer LeHardy gave instructions
yesterday to Mr.. A. S. We'll, the newly
elected food inspector. 1t is the intention
to carry out the regulations governing
the quality of food the same as hereto
fore, and with this in view DR.. LeHardy
took especial pains to thoroughly ac-
quaint Mr.. We'll with the duties he will
be expected to perform.
The place to which the Inspector was
directed 10 give closest attention are the
market house and the various green groc-
cries, where meats and vegetables are sold.
He was told to visit the market house
every morning, see what was going on
there, and condemn whatever he thought
unfit for sale. In The event he is in doubt
he was told to call on the clerk of the
market for his opinion, and If he could not
be found, to call the health officer. There
is little occasion to condemn meats in the
market however, though, spoiled fish is
now and then found at the stalls.
The inspector will also see to it that
nothing but pure milk is sold. The city
recently put in apparatus in the health
office at considerable expense for the pur-
pose of testing milk. For the past two
months this has been successfully carried
on. and il is stated the effect is more
care in handling milk. Some attention is
also given to the character of food cows
are given, as a number of tests have
convinced the owners that giving them
cheap, unwholesome feed can be easily
detected by the tests There must be
certain amount of fat, which does not
exist if the cows are not properly fed.
I'VE intend to give the closest attention
10 food inspections in the future" said
DR.. IeHardy. There have been frequent
attempts to glut the market with unwhole-
some products. which dealers hope TO palm
off on an uususpecting public. Spoiled
meats and vegetables will be watched
for, and if there is any attempt to sell
them. the dealers will be put on the dock
et and tried by the Recorder for violating
a city ordinance.
TT il also the intention to find out the
kind of vinegar now being sold in Savan-
nah. There is a belief that the qualities
now being offered are highly injurious.
and if this is found to be the case the
dealers will be asked TO stop selling it.
An analysis by a chemist, however, viii
settle the question as TO its purity and
WholeSOmeness.

OF Interest 10 the Hnnter.

The finest fishing and hunting on the
continent of America is found in that re-
gion north of Toronto, Canada known as
the Muskoka Lakes district.
The season for partridge shooting open
ed on the 18th of September, and the for
ests and woods in the interior are liter
ally alive with them. The deer hunting
season opens on Nov. l. and lasts only
fifteen days. Sportsmeu who avail them
selves of a trip through this country can
count upon magnificent sport, as those
fleet footed animals abound in great num-
bers. Bear fox and other game are to be
found in goodly numbers and the gamiest
trout and bass and the weightiest Mus
kinonge are the delight of all who tempt
its waters with rod and line. The au-

GRAND JURY TO CONSIDER 1T.
The Haupt Case VIII Take Its
Course In the Superior Court.

The Hnupf Case VIII Take Its
Course In the Superior Court.
The outlook seems to be that when the
grand jury Of the Superior Court meets
this month it will have to consider the
matter of indicting Mr.. George w. Haupt
on two or more charges. Two warrants
are already in the hands of the solicitor
general against him, who has been held
on charges of embezzlement and forgery,
and there are intimatlons that Others may
succeed these.
The original warrant, issued in the name
of the building committee of the DUFFY
Street Baptist Church, has not been dis
missed as many seem to believe. AS far
as can be learned the church will allow
the law to take its course, in so far as it
will not endeavor to secure the dismissal
of the case. The disposition seems to be
to let the matter rest entirely with the
grand jury If 1t sees fit to indict 1t can
do so.
The church will not assume the role of
prosecutor further than it has already
done and win not seek to push the case.
All hope of getting any more than the
81, 500 back has been aban-
doned, it seems. Mr.. Wells,
who endeavored to assist Mr.
AAaNpt ~ SNuoiS ms NNHNiN VAN ~
church, has been released by the church
from any responsibility he might have as
sumed. His railroad bond has been re-
turned to him.
1t is not known how much Mr.. Haupt' s
shortage is with other concerns with
which he was associated in positions of
trust, but there are rumors that all of
his defalcations will run well up into the
thousands at least exceeding S., 900. The
church has not yet finished Its work of
investigation
The charge of forgery has been made
against Mr. Haupt' by Mr.. ]. P. Will
Jams. president of the Oglethorpe Building
Company, the ground being that he added
to the check made out for Mrs Teynac
the words "or bearer" which, under the
laws of Georgia is said to be forgery.
This case has also gone to the Superior
Court, Mr. Haupt furnishing bond for APP

DU BIGNoN HITS AT sONE ONE.
Everybody Satisfied Except Retiring
FunctiOnnrIes.

chairman duBgnon Of the state Demo
cratic executive committee, was at home
yesterday for few hours. and left on the
Plant line at 2 o'clock in the afternoon
for New York where he will join mis- fam
lily and enjoy a few days rest
Mr.. duBignon was seen a few minutes
before his train left He said that in the
campaign Just ended he had devoted him
self to the doubtful counties in the stale
rather than toward the piling up of big
majority for the state ticket. He he
ieVed that the best results for both the
present and future were to be accom-
pllshed by storming the stronghold Of Pop
uhsn BY weakening and defeating them
m their citadels an effective blow would
be dealt them and the demise of the third
party would be FASTENED.
Had there been out a full Democratic
vote, Mr.. duBignon said, Col. Gamblers
majority would have been over 10000. He
tnstanced the apathy that existed by
calling attention to the fact that in Bibb
county, in which Macon is situated, there
were only 24S votes polled out Of a regis
tration OF over 200.
When asked If ne was thoroughly sat
tisfied with the result Mr.. duBignon said
that he was more than pleased, that he
had exerted himself to redeem certain
counties from Popullsm and had succeed
ed. He added Significantly ia conclus-
ion:
Every one in the Democratic party IS
thoroughly satisfied except the king of
the razor backs and his satellites and
few retiring functionaries"
Inasmuch as Gov. Atkinson has shown
a disposition to criticise the management
of the campaign and has announced his
intention of making some further COM
ments on 1t If the amendments are de-
feated this remark of the state chairman
as to retiring functionaries" may be IN
ernor.
Il Is undoubtedly Mr.. duBignon's idea
that Populsm is practically dead in Geor-
gfa and that the Democratic party will
have no opposition worthy of the name

UNDERTAKEN BEFORE RECORDER
Fine Against MIR. Fox for Violation
of Ordinance RENTED.

EtRe Against mr. FOX Tor violation
of Ordinance RENTED.
Undertaken John H Fox was before the
Recorder in Police Court yesterday for
shipping a body some days ago without
a permit from the health office. Mr.. Fox
was discharged, however, as 1t was shown
the party had not died with contagious
disease, and that every effort was made
to comply with the law.
When it was reported to Health Officer
LeHardy that the body had been shipped
IN violation of the ordinance he ordered
Mr., Fox docketed. In his own defense the
undertaken said he was unable to find
any one at the health Office from whom
10 get a permit. He made an effort TO
find Mr.. Melvin. Dr. LeHardy's assist
ant, and when this failed, decided to ship
the body on the strength of the physicians
certificate that there was no contagion.
He also said the funeral was to take
place the same day and that a party
would be expecting the body on the train
Under these circumstances the Recorder
took a lenient view of the case and fined
Mr.. Fox 81, which was RENTED. 1t was
decided the violation was not of a fla
grant character. and not, therefore, such
as deserved penalty of any kind.

REPAIRING THE rYBEE ROAD.
Trains Can Run Over the First Nine
Miles Now.


Miles Now.
Work on the Tybee road is being push
ed The washouts have been filled in and
the track cribbed up to beyond the nine
mile post, where the trouble with the track
itself begins.
Supt Clement Saussy is personally di-
recting the repairs There Is not yet as
large a force of hands at work as there
will be in a day or two when they can be
gotten together and organized. Trains
can be run over the first nine miles of
the road now, and the work OF repairing
the roadbed and the track viii be facill-
tated When the trains run it Is at a
slower rate OF speed than when the track
is in good order.
Several hundred feet of the track that
was washed off its bed have been taken
UP from wherever il was thrown by the
water. II has been brought back to the
roadbed and relaid. There are yet sew
eral miles of track out in the marsh.
Knocking il in pieces and bringing 1t
back and putting II on the roadbed is
quite a job, and it win be three or four
weeks before all the work can be fin
izhed.
The contractors at work on the govern
ment property on the island, building
fortiications, barracks and a hospital, say
they have enough material on hand to
last them for "A month. They hope the
road win be put in good order again by
the time they need more material. as light
ering from the city TO the wharves is more
expensive and not so convenient.

MEET TOGETHER MONDAY.
Republican Politicians Will Talk
Over congregational Candidate.

a.
The meeting of the Republican con-
gressional district committee, of which
L. M. Peasants is chairman, which was
to have been held here yesterday, was
postponed until Monday, the day set for
a meeting of the Delegal committee,
which is largely made up of the same pol
itcians with a different chairman.
The meeting viii be at the Duffy street
han. The matter of nominating candi-
date in opposition to Congressman Lester
will then be discussed and some definite
action taken. Chairman Delegal is not
expected to be In attendance. He is more
open than most of the Republican leaders
and has announced that he wants to see
the imam with the stuff who wants to
run for Congress before ne calls a meet
ing. The state election demonstrated con-
clusively that the Populist party has
gone to pieces In the First district, and
without it in good condition the Repubu
cans would not have a ghost of a show
with candidate. This is wen understood
now, and whoever runs will be suspected
of having his eye on some federal Office
as balm for his wounded patriotism after
defeat.
