wILLINK WANTS EXPLANATION.
Mayor Myers Asked to Explain State
ments About Removals.

Ex-Supt. Harry Wiilink of the public
works department has addressed two let
tiers to Mayor Myers, asking for an ex-
PLANTATION of recent statements in a Sa-
vannah paper. Mr.. Willink seems not TO
have grasDed the Mayors meaning, and
was probably under the impression the
language quoted bore more than one in
depreciation.
In the course of the article the Mayor
is quoted as saying that none of the de-
posed officials went without cause" Mr..
Willink probably got tangled when the
Mayor was quoted further on as saying
that liability and honesty are given the
consideration they deserve" 1t is not I'M
derstood there was any intention what
ever to reflect upon Mr.. Willink or any
one else. 1t is said the statement was
that incumbents are given the full benefit
of their good qualities, and did not i'm
pute either dishonesty or incompetency to
any of the officials who were removed.
Mayor Myers answered Mr. Wnink's
inquiries promptly, but the substance OF
the correspondence is not known. When
seen Mr. Willink declined 10 talk

THE "ORATOR" WILLING.
TOOmer Decides Not to Decline An
pOintment to Cemetery job.


John II. Toomer. the 'colored orator" re-
Gently appointed keeper of the colored sec
ton of Laurel Grove cemetery by Mayor
Myers, denies the reports that he threw I'D
the job because he was required to work.
Toorner says he intends to swing on to the
persimmon.
Mayor Myers made the appointment
some days ago. but ii is reported 'roomer
understood he was TO be "superintendent'
of the cemetery. He felt somewhat iubi-
liant over his appointment, believing that
lie had been justly rewarded for number
of warm speeches made in the interest of
the Myers ticket. When Toomer presented
his credentials to Chairman Dahin of The
Park and Tree Commission he was told
he would have to shoulder a shovel and
work with the other men. Keeper Ken
nickel of Laurel Grove also told the '.or-
ator' he would have TO toll. Toomer un-
derstood he was to keep the records and
boss the place. but Mr.. Kennickell told
him that everybody had to work.
After denouncing the author of the RI
NOR in a round manner, Toomer SAYS that
he viii be at the cemetery to-day for The
purpose of taking charge.

THEY WANT A BETTER LINE.
Montgomery Residents Complain of
Car Service beyond sandy.

Capt ID. g. Purse Will probably leave
some time during the week for Atlanta to
appear before the Railroad Commission in
case that has been brought by Montgom-
cry residents in protest against the mis-
cradle service afforded by the car line
running from sandhy station to that place.
The complaint was made by residents of
Montgomery through Capt. Purse. His
visit 10 Atlanta will only be in the event
the State Railroad Commission decides it
has Jurisdiction in the case and takes it
up for hearing. 1t is said there is a
difficulty. This is that the commission has
no jurisdiction. as il is a complaint against
the service of a railroad. If this view IS
taken by the commission the case will, in
all probability. be brought up in court. The
Montgomery residents are greatly opposed
to the methods at present in vogue on the
Sandhy-M Montgomery line and would like
to see it changed for better
For some months the matter of an i'm
proved service on this line has been agi-
tated. Among those who have interested
themselves in the case and who want to
see something better than the present ac-
commodations so-called are Messrs. d. B.
Lester, Julian Schley, G. NJ. Gibbs, w. T.
Dixon, Henry McAlpin and George w.
Tiedeman. These gentlemen complain to
the Railroad Commission that they are
given car that leaks and that it is i'm
possible to keep dry in rainy weather
Vendors of shrimps and fish, they say, pile
their baskets in the car in coming to and
leaving the city, and these same darkies
drink and smoke in such an Objectionable
manner as to make riding behind the mule
that pulls the car very unpleasant. The
patrons of the road want the commission
to order the railroad company to place
better car on the line and to divide it into
compartments, so that shrimp and fish sell
lers may have a separate place to ride.
Before the complaint was made to the
commission an effort was made privately
to induce the railroad to improve the line
This in a measure, was successful, but il
did not get the Montgomery residents what
they wanted. Il did bring a better car,
but the complaint is about this better one.

FOR VIOLATING FOOD LAWS.
Recorder to Decide To-day whether
ThOmpsOn's Pigs Had Measles.

The case against Mr.. w. G. Thompson
in Police Court for selling pigs that had
been condemned by Food Inspector Well
will come up fo~ trial to-day. 1t is
charged that the pigs had had measles.
The case has been called a number of
times, but there seems TO have been
something to hinder the trial each time.
Food Inspector We'll feels that the
proper respect for his Office demands that
condemned meat be sent to the crema-
tory. This was not done because Mr.
Thompson had doubts about the correct
ness of the inspectors diagnosis. Well
came to the conclusion that small erup-
lions all over the pigs was an evidence
they had suffered with measles. but he
did not condemn them until his judgment
had been verified by the opinions of the
acting health officer as well as a number
of butchers.
The trial of the case is apt to bring out
some interesting testimony about tbe
soundness Of meats Inspector Wei in
tends to have experts present to testifv
in the cty's behalf. The postponernent

DISCUSSED MILTON AGAIN.
At a Meeting of the University Ex-
tension Society.

tension Society.
The weather was not at all pTopitious,
yet there was quite an attendance yester-
day afternoon at the meeting of the circle
of the University Extension Society. The
subject under discussion was Milton and
his works" a continuation of the subject
of the last meeting.
The leader of the circle, Mr.. NJ. M.
Parks talked interestingly on Milton as an
epic poet, contrasting his work with that
of the two great poets of ancient times. He
then took up paradise Lost" reading
passages from the first and second books
and showing the similarity of its opening
with that of the opening lines of the "Aen-
eid."
Prof. w. S. Wilson discussed Milton 5
prose, emphasizing the poets great love
of freedom an criticising his excessive use
of lnveetives. Miss Walsh read a selection
from Paradise Lost" and an animated
discussion, led by Rev. DR.. j. D. Chapman,
followed upon the works of Milton.
The meeting of the circle next tuesday
afternoon will be devoted to a discussion
of Bunyon and Dryden. The latter author
was to have been included in the discus
sion of yesterday, but the time devoted to
Milton would not admit of the members of
the circle taking up the other poet.

TRAVERs' CASE POSTPONED.
Policeman Accidentally Saw the
screvcn Bar Running sunday.

The case against Owen Travers, charged
with doing business at his saloon In the
screven House last Sunday, was contin-
ued in the Police Court yesterday, Mr..
Travers being indisposed and unable TO
appear The fact that the first and only
case for violation OF the Sunday law I'M
der the new administration should be made
against Mr.. Travers created considerable
surprise. MIR. Travers was one of the
most ardent advocates and supporters of
the new administration, and doubtless the
charge was as much a surprise to him as
TO anyone else.
The case against Mr.. TTavers was
made by Policeman Vim, who had occa-
sion to go into the hotel in the rear of Mr..
Irayers' bar The door was open and see
ing people inside there was nothing for the
policeman to do but make the case. Po-
liceman VIM Is said to have been new
man on this beat, and perhaps this ac-
counts for the accident TO Mr. Travers.
other policemen have patrolled that beat
for the last two years without discovering
anything unusual.
The new superintendent of police has
adopted the plan of shifting The men about,
30 that when policeman reports for duty
he does not know what beat he may be
sent out on. In fact, the shifting about
of the men has been commonly commented
upon Ex-Chief McDermott pursued the
plan of assigning the men to certain dis
ricts and keeping them there on the the
Org that they could do better work by
knowing the localities and the people re-
siding in their districts. The plan worked
we'll in many respects Superintendent
Screven may be of the opinion that some
of the men have been taking things too
easy in their districts, and that 1t may be
well for them to familiarlze themselves
more with the city a large.

by Commissioner stevens.

Appointed Inspector of Fertilizers
by Commissioners Stevens.
Mr.. r. NJ. Martin, editor of the Liberty
County Herald, is in the city. He has just
received his commission from Commission
err of Agriculture o. b. Stevens as inspect
or or fertilizers. Mr.. Martin was a staunch
supporter of the present commissioner of
agriculture during the last campaign
both personally and in his paper, hence
the reward does not come undeserved.
Mr.. Martins district will include the
counties of Glynn Camden, Charlton, Lib
erty, Mcintosh, Wayne and Tattnal. He
will continue to conduct the Herald at
Hinesville, however, as his duties as in
spector will require only a portion of his
time.
Mr., Martin is a staunch advocate of a
South Georgia fair, to be held at Savannah
this fall. In fact, 1t was he who first sug-
gested the idea in the Herald of holding a
fair here for the benefit of this section.
THE idea has met with general favor
throughout South Georgia" said Mr. Mar
tim Several of the newspapers have in
dorsed the suggestion, and I have received
letters from a number of people through
out this :@ction, approving the idea and
urging that it be put into effect The peo-
pie of South Georgia are ready and anx-
ious for the fair, and it only remains for
Savannah to do her part. The farmers
throughout this section realize the benefit
which would come to them from such a
gathering. Nothing would conduce more
to the improvement of the breeds of cat
tie and stock in South Georgia than a
good stock exhibition at the fair The fair

from Washington, is impending over this
section, will not do any damage to the

distinct advantage, unless it assumes
such gravity that the trees are entirely
destroyed.
AZ this season of the year fruit growers
usually expose the roots of the trees. thus
retarding the development of the fruit
buds and their possible destruction in cold
weather later on. AS long as they have
not opened, cold weather, unless of I'm
usual intensity, does them no harm. A
