COMMITTED TWO BURGLARIEs.
FOrd's Effort to Beat the Record
Causes His Arrest by Detective.

FOrd's Effort to Beat the Record
Causes His Arrest by Detective.
William Ford, a colored man of about
% years, was arrested yesterday for the
burglary of the confectionery store of
Mrs. NJ. Skinner at York lane and Haber-
sham street. He is charged, also, with
the burglary of Lang's grocery at York
lane and Price street. The arrest was
made by Detective SGally.
Mrs SINNERS store was entered at
about midnight Friday, and quantity of
the canned goods and other small articles
that she kept for sale carried away. On
the same night Lar g's store was also en-
tered the thief being frightened away,
evidently, before he had an opportunity
to complete his work, and after he had
secured goods of comparatively small
value.
Ford Is a well known negro, who form
erly drove one OF the mail wagons for the
postoffice. He lost his position some time
since and WIS doubtless driven 10 some
other method of making a living, select
ing that one most likely TO give him tho
clues of his, guilt in his wake. 9nd the
detective had little difficulty in gathering
the evidence upon which he will be con-
victed. Ford duplicates others in the Of
Tense and 1t is expected that other ar
rests will follow. He has many excuses
for himself.

he can fill the bill. AS for the reports
that he is not stanch Republican, / will
say l have always considered him such.
To my mind, no mistake has been made
in this appointment"
Mr.. Leaken was another who Endorsed
the application of Mr.. Blum, and said he
had nothing to regret even though an ef-
fort had been made TO stir up connection
as a result of the appointment. He said
he was asked by prominent Republicans to
indorse Mr.. Blun's application, which was
understood at the time to be the only one
in circulation. Mr. Leaken said he had
been previously informed that Prof.
Wright had withdrawn his application.
and was no further an aspirant for the
place. In indorsing Mr.. Blum he said he
considered he was asking for the appoint
ment of an estimable young man, whose
ability well fitted him for the responsible
ties of the position he is TO take. He re-
terred to the new supervisor in the high
est terms. and expressed much satisfaction
that he got the position.
Il am not aware that the state central
committee passed such resolution as that
requiring all Republicans TO hold their
peace until the district organization Elk
presses its pleasure as to applicants" said
Mr.. Lcaken. Il should certainly question
the legality of such a resolution, as it
seems il would be an infringement upon
private nights OF CltlNCnS, VINO are expect
ed TO use their own Judgment in such mat
ters. In the present appointment | do not
believe any mistake has been made"
Col DeVeaux was asked for the sub
stance of the resolution, but said he did
not remember that it had been adopted.
In view of the fact that he is secretary of
the state central committee, it seems there
is an element of doubt as TO the resolution
having been adopted. Both Delegal and
Warren are positive 1t was. however and
propose to submit copy of It, Meantime
there is every reason 10 believe there wiz
be fun in the Republican political wig
wan as those who have succeeded are apt
to get jahs from the defeated crowd at
every opportunity.
Mr.. Blum was appointed July rs. and
will not begin his duties until next June.
but before then he will name the enumer-
ators, thereby giving them time to inform
themselves as to the methods of making
the census. The enumerators will be
named in Chatham, Bryan. bingham.
Screven, Burke, Bulloch, Liberty, McIn-
tosh, Tattnall and Emanuel counties,
which constitute the First congressional
district. While the enumerators will be
selected according TO their ability to dis
charge their duties they will doubtless be
in sympathy with the Peasants faction.
In making the appointments Il is also be-
lieved a weather eye will be kept out for
the interests of President Mckinley, WHO
would like to have the delegates from this
district a the coming national Republi-
can convention.

Argument upon the demurrer and an
swcr filed by the defendants in the case of
T. Ranken, against Jack Watson and 9th
ers was heard by Judge Falligant in the
Superior Court yesterday. The demurrer
was overruled and the relief prayed for in
the petition of the plaintiff granted
The plaintiff had secured a temporary
restraining order, prohibiting the defend
ants from further prosecuting a number of
laborers' liens that had been sued out by
them in the court of Justice Isaac Ma
thans, for various small amounts alleged
TO be due them by the plaintiff, and levied
upon steam tug belonging 10 him. The
petition in the case had been demurred
to by the defendants, because it set up no
good ground for the relief prayed for and
Tor other reasons that, it was contended

Judge Falligant overruled the demurrer
and granted a temporary injunction, res

Hemen at Sea Girt.
TIE Governors Horse Gunards of At
lanta have definitely decided to send a
tea m to Sea Grit. The information was
i'm. parted in a letter from Capt. Dozier
Of the Horse Guards to Col. ]. F. Brooks,
vice captain of the team that will leave
on Aug % on the steamship Tallahassee.
Capt Dozier wrote that the team had
been unable to make a satisfactory ar
rangement as TO rates with the railroads,
and that it might be decided to make the
trip via Savannah if an equitable rate
could be secured by water from here. He
did not state how many men will consti-
tute his team.
1t Is thought the Atlanta company ex-
poets to send ten men. The informatio
comes through railroad man with whom
an effort was made to arrange rates. 1t
is said there are some good shots among
them. and it is not improbable that the
state team viii not be composed exclusive
ly of Sayannahians this year. If the At
lantians are able to make better scores
than some of the Savannahians they will

LAW ENFORCED AS WRITTEN.

that will make gambling punishable by
Imprisonment only and not by hne?"
There is a second gambling evil. more
potent and wide-rea chiug in its effects
than either of these that does more harm
TO those who engage In IL than any l have
named, and is absolutely destructive of
the interests of the agricultural classes.
That's gambling in futures"
Now, If The members Of the grand jury
are sincere in their protestations of right
eousness, il this is an attack upon an evil
and not only upon method of correcting
il. Yet them come out in their presentments
and denounce this iusidious vice. Ii is
condemned by every law, human and di-
vine and is classed by every court before
which its alleged claims To decency and
responsibility have been investigated, as
on the same plane as these other and min
or forms OF gambling that have incurred
the wrath of the grand jury. Not only is
II gambling in its worse form, and hence
subject to all OF the criticisms that are
passed upon faro and policy, but 1t has a
direct and forbidding influence upon those
classes of the people upon whom the coun-
try must ultimately rely for its prosperity
and advancement, the ;illers of the SOL.
The prices of wheat cotton, corn aud
bacon are not determined by the actual
law of supply and demand for the actual
products, but are based upon an artificial
scale produced by gambling in futures. In
rare instances, / am aware, this rebounds
to the advantage of the farmer, but IN
ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, it is
directly injurious to him. Gambling In flu
lures is pernicious beyond other forms Of
the vice because il is carried on under the
guise of responsibility and because when
il is discussed the representatives of the
people. the newspapers and The preachers,
take the shoes from off their feet.

SMALL-POX DISAPPEARING.
The Situation in Montgomery County
Greatly Improved.


Health officer Drummer has received a
letter from DR.. NJ. Morrison of Mount
Vernon, stating that the smallpox situa-
ton in Montgomery county is well in hand.
no new case having been discovered since
Aug. l. In all there have been thirty
one cases in Montgomery since the dis
covery Of the disease there a little over
a month ago.
DR.. Drummer went to Montgomery ccln-
ty about a month ago, at the request of
the authorities there. for the purpose Of
pronouncing upon the disease and advis-
ing as to steps to be taken for the pur-
pose of holding ii in check. He at once
pronounced the disease smallpox and gave
directions as to the best course to pur-
sue. Besides advising with the authori-
ties personally DR.. Drummer furnished
them with several copies Of his pamphlet
upon 1.-The Prevention Of the Spread Of
Smallpox"
The Montgomery authorities and ply
sicians appear to have made good use of
the information furnished them. DR.. Nor
rison's letter shows that strict regula-
tons have been enforced and that as a re-
suit the disease appears to have been
checked.
