BRACK PLEADED GUILTY.
$500 and Costs or One Years Impris-
Onment His Sentence.

f. A. Brack, the installment furniture
collector, charged with assaulting Mr.. G.
A. Gregory, city editor of the Morning
News. several weeks ago, pleaded guilty
in the Superior Court yesterday to as
sault and battery, carrying concealed wea-
pons and pointing a pistol not in self-de-
Tense and was sentenced to pay a fine
of $500 and costs or spend one year in
jail. The penalties were 800 or six months
for assault and battery and 800 or six
months on the other two charges
In view of the offense, which was pre-
meditated, the punishment is regarded ex-
tremely light. Brack's attorney submit
ted plea of guilty of all charges after
sitting the facts, and he had become sat
ished what the result would be should
the case be tried. The testimony of the
witnesses hsd been found 10 be such that
no other verdict thau guilty could have
been rendered.
The attack which Brack made was on
account of an article in the Morning News
reciting the complaints of hoUsekeepers
of the conduct of furniture installment
collectors III collecting claims from SER
wants. Brack assumed that he was in
cluded in the article. and demanded a re-
traction which was refused. The next day
he made vicious and unwarranted at
tack on Mr.. Gregory as the latter was
leaving the Morning News office on his
bicycle. He was arrested and indicted
and when brought up for trial, pleaded
guilty His counsel urged clemency in his
behalf and the court imposed the a.terna-
tive sentence of fine or imprisonment.

were sold, and that no neighborhood was
free of their presence. The three Lotteries
conducted by the men fined wednesday
were in operation now.
Mr.. Slater made the opening argument
for the defendant. contending that it was
evident from the proved facts IN evidence
That policy lotteries are not opposed to
public sentiment in Savannah, as was
shown by the impunity with which they
had been and were operated. He admit
ted that his client was technically guilty,
but asked that the jury not ind him so
under the facts in evidence showing that
he was an employe and not a principal In
the business.
Mr.. Barrow's argument for the state was
devoted mainly to an analysis of the ev-
idence and the showing that had been
made of the defendants guilt. This, he
commended, had been proved beyond rea-
sonable doubt, and that II made no diff
ference whether he was principal or agent
or accessory. In misdemeanor cases the
law recognized no grades of the offense
ana AL were equally guilty who were con-
cerned in it's commission
MIR Barrow said that he surmised that
some attack would b. made on the solicitor
general, whom he represented, because OF
the fact brought out in the evidence that
there were a number of policy lotteries
conducted in Savannah. Under the law he
SAID the solicitor general had no concern
other than with the prosecution of crimi-
nails If violations of the law were known
10 good citizens there was a body before
whom they could appear and present the r
grievances, the grand jury of the county.
The duties of the solicitor general We're
well defined and he was neither a ferret,
a detective nor a spV
Mr. Bartridge concluded for the defend
ant, making a strong argument for the
acquital of the accused or the finding Of
strong recommendation to the mercy of
the court, should the jury determine upon
verdict of guilty. It is not right, said
Mr. Hartridge, that an empoye of a gam
bling house should be sent to the Jail or
Chain-gang because he can
not pay a fine, while others,
who are more fortunate should be allowed
10 pay fine and continue to carry on the
business without interruption or the fear
of interruption for months to come.
Judge Fallgants charge was directly
to the point. He charged the jury that the
case was not one Of sentiment but Of law,
which the jurors Were sworn to enforce
If they found that the defendant had been
engaged, either as principal or accessory,
in running the Illegal game described in
the indictment they should return a YER
dict of guilty. This it was their sworn
duty to do.
The jury required. about half an hour
to make up a verdict. 1t found the de-
PENDANT guilty, but recommended him to
the extreme mercy of the court. Judge
Faligant announced that he would not
pronounce sentence immediately but
would hold the case under further con-
sideration. Sentence win be imposed PROB
ably some time during to-day.
On Monday a second of the gamblers in,
dicted last week, Frank Fulton, is to be
tried for the same offense as that Of which
Simpson has been found guilty. He will
be represented by Mr. R. L. Colding.

ARE MUCH INTEaESTED.
Farmers Are Inquiring About the
Sugar Refinery.

The best evidence that the agitation of
the subject Of a sugar refinery and the
discussion Of the possibilities of Georgia
syrup is leading to practical results is the
interest which has been aroused in the
subject throughout the entire farming sec
ton of South Georgia, as is shown daily
by letters received by merchants and bust
ness men generally. Capt. d. G. Purse
received a letter yesterday from Morgan
& Grlner, varnish manufacturers at Guy
ton, stating that his article in the Morn
ing News of Aug. and the subsequent
articles on the subject have aroused wide
spread interest in the farming section
I'VE would like to have you inform us.
say the writer's. what price per ga. Ion
could a sugar refinery pay the planters
for good heavy grade of Georgia syrup
Also what price per pound for crude
sugar not dripped packed in hogsheads
and what tests each would have to bear
We are quite sure refinery in Savannah
or some nearby place would be a great
help to The people of this section and
prove a paying investment"
The tone of the letter indicates that the
firm has confidence in its ability to pro-
duce not only a good grade of syrup, but
crude sugar in considerable Quantities.
The best evidence Of the need of refinery
would he a considerable quantity of this
crude sugar put upon the market bv the
Georgia farmers during the coming sea-
son. The test made for Mr. l. B. Tiede-
man in New York has shown not only
that good article of sugar can be pro
dueed in South Georgia, but that it is in
demand with the refneries.
The Morning News mentioned some time
ago the demand which had been created
for Georgia syrup by the discussion of
this question, and that loca. stocks had
been pretty well exhausted in consequence.
Merchants report that it is very difficult
to obtain syrup i'm the country now. and
that farmers are demanding as high as -
cents gallon for very ordinary gradcs.
one local wholesale grocery house has
banded several thousand barrels of last
years product With the interest which
has been aroused in the subject both pro-
duction and consumption are likely to he
larger this fall than ever before. with
the result that more money win be nut
in the farmers pockets from this source
than they have realized in any previous
season.

tance of FIVE or six miles and then
taken off the animal and hung by
the neck with rope until he
promised to leave the country,

Redfield came around by Chetopa

z If You Are Not Interested
In Your Teeth.

The condition of the mouth has
much to do with the general health.
The improvement following the
placing Of the teeth in a healthy
condition is often surprising. One
cause Of so.called "bad breath" ia
due to the tartar on the teeth, they
being otherwise sound and good.
Tartar is in many mouths the only
enemy to contend with. 1t ac-
cumulates at the neck ofthe teeth,
irritates the gums, causing them
to become inhamed SO that they
bleed easily. This should be
taken as a warning, and if DR.. Ir-
vine is called upon in time will
prevent much injury. II not done
the accumulation continues and in
time the teeth become loose. A
great many intelligent persons fail
to appreciate the importance of
taking care of their teeth until
compelled to do so by suffering
Then they want their teeth ex-
tracted, and it is just as foolish to
have a tooth extracted because it
is in an liberated or broken down
condition as it would be to have a
finger amputated because OF the
appearance of a felon or the re-
moving OF an eye to get rid of a
cataract. Diseases of the teeth
and surrounding tissue are certain
ly as amenable to treatment as are
ulcers or morbid growths in other
parts of the body. A tooth that is
decayed contains cavity in which
food collects and is decomposed,
causing an offensive breath. The
decomposed food is dislodged and
carried into the stomach where it
may cause trouble. OF course the
trouble is increased by the number
ofteeth involved, A person with
poor teeth cannot eat with satifac-
tion, he is in a nervous condition,
his food imperfectly mastioated
and insalivated, hence goes into
the stomach unprepared for diges-
ton. thereby causing indigestion,
Decay generally begins in some
obscure point Inaccessible to the
