is 40 PER CENT" AN UNREAsON-
ABLE PROFIT.
A High Legal Authority Decides
That 1t Is a "GOOd, Profit.

A somewhat unusual case was recently
up before the Supreme Court of neigh
boring state, and while the decision was
not altogether a thorough solution of the
problem submitted, still it has attracted
widespread attention. The issue was that
of 'Blme VS.. Close" and involved the
question as to whether or not "ten per
cent" profit on a transaction between the
parties was reasonable profit. In quite
lengthy and erudite opinion the bench
concluded that while it did not deem it
relevant to say that the profit specified
was an unreasonable one yet it must be
said that it was "a good profit" Our
readers viii certainly agree with us in our
approval of so august an opinion. B. II.
Levy & Bro. allow ten per cent. discount
to all cash purchasers of clothing and
their heavy cash patronage indicates the
prevalence of appreciation of so good
profit.

ing wearables is now complete In every

JUMPED INTO DEEP WATER.
Willie johnson Lenped From a Boat
and Was Drowned.

Coroner Goette was called to Thunder
bolt yesterday to investigate the drown
ing of Willie johnson, colored, and to take
charge of the body. The boy was drowned
I'm a singular manner Thursday
With three other lads he was near Will
mington Island Grabbing. Some of the
larger boys were pulling the boat, and
Johnson was sitting in the stern. He arose
to his feet, and without making his inten-
tions known to his comrades, leaped over
board and sank. One of the boys spreng
after him as he came to the surface the
first time, and endeavored TO save him.
The two clinched while in their struggle,
which came near causing both to drown.
1t was shortly seen that no aid could be
given johnson and his willing rescuer
swan to the boat again. Nothing further
was seen of the drowned boy until his
body was discovered.
His action in jumping from the boat
could not be accounted for by the others
except the theory that he thought he was
jumping into shallow water.

A HITCH OVER REPAvING.
Warren-scharf Company Wants to
Hold the City Responsible.

Warren-Scharf Company Wants to
Hold the City Responsible.
There is a little hitch between the city
and the Warren-Scharf company over the
repaving Of the portion Of Broughton
street which was torn up in laying the
new street railway track. This does no:
come under the asphalt company's con-
tract to maintain the asphalt streets in
repair, but is considered as new work
The company wants to secure a deal
with the city by which all persons and
corporations desiring TO tear up asphalt
paving for any purpose shall be required
to secure a permit from the city, that the
city shall collect the cost of replacing the
pavement from the private party or cor
poration and pay over to the company
In other words the asphalt company
will deal only with the city in these mat
tiers. Parties desiring to tear UP asphalt
paving for the purpose of making water
or gas connections or for any other pur-
pose are now required 10 take out permits
before doing so, but the bills for repairs
are collected by the company from the par
ties direct. There are reasons why this
arrangement may not be entirely satisfac-
tory 70 the company. 1t is suggested, how
ever, that the asphalt company may have
an eye TO the extensive repairs which IL
VIII be necessary to do on Liberty streer
as soon as the house drainage contrac-
tors close UP their work there BY the
terms OF their contract the contractors
are equired to replace all paving disturbed
by them In the prosecution of their work.
The bill for repairs will be a large one
and perhaps the asphalt company would
prefer to have the city as a creditor under
present circumstances rather than the
contractors

ATKINSON MEN TO MEET.

A meeting Of the Atkinson forces of
Chatham county viii be held Tuesday
night. The place Of meeting has not yet
been decided, but it viii be announced TO
those who will be requested to attend. Let
tiers are to be sent to some forty sympa-
thizers with the South Georgia candidate,
and the most energetic of his supporters
are seeing those personally whose attend
anee is desired.
One of the leading spirits in the Atkn-
son movement was asked yesterday If he
thought there was any chance for his can
didate in Chatham county. He replied in
the affirmative, and added that there
would have been every chance could the
movement have been started earlier. He
went on to say the people of South Geor-
gia should support Judge Atkinson, as he
is an admirable man, and would make
an excellent Governor. His being from
this section, all other things being equal,
should give him the support of the people.
The partisan of the judge said he did
not thing Hon. f. G. duBignon should be
permitted to dictate to the people of Chat
ham the man for whom they are to vote.
He said the people of this county would
have been glad TO have voted for Mr.. du-
Bignon in the gubeTnatorial race, but be-
cause he has made some deal with other
parties, they should not follow his leader
ship and vote against a good South Geor'
gia man simply because he intends to
do so.
