THE LAW NEEDS ATTENTION.
Too Many Pauper Amdavits Filled In
Court. sH+

Too Many Pauper Amdavits Filled In
Court. aW
Judge Falligant struck the present law
regulating pauper affidavits a hard blow
across the knuckles in his talk to the
grand jury of the Superior Court on Mon,
day afternoon. 1t was along the line of
the remarks Judge Falligant was making
anent the fee system and its application
to the officers of the court Fs
1t is a known, fact that under the pres
ent law any one who wishes 10 do so may
appeal a case to a higher court
without the payment of costs,
and the officers of Inc court, the clerk
and sheriff, from which the case is APP
pealed, have to perform oil of their duties
without the hope of any compensation
whatever. The oath required Of the al
legged pauper is simply to the effect that
he Is not able to pay the costs or to give
bond, which many persons evidently feel
they are in a position to swear without
injury to the tenderness of their con-
sciences, although they may even return
large amounts of property for taxation
When the affidavit is made, Inc clerk
must accept it, The resulting clerical work
is sometimes enormous, as, for instance,
in the preparation of records of cases for
transmission to the Supreme Court 1t
must be done, and it is done by the clerk
without cost.
1t seems to some who discussed the
matter yesterday that the low should be
so amended that only those persons who
really are not able to pay the costs of
court should become entitled to the privi-
lege and Judge Falligant touch
ed sharply on this point in
his talk with the grand jury
1t is an admitted fact that this privilege
of appeal by giving a pauper affidavit in
tended for the protection of the INDECENT
litigant is abused almost every day.
Judge Falligant said that in this man
ner the entire amount allowed by the
county for the payment of the insolvent
costs of the clerk of the Superior Corrt.
and much more, was used up during the
year in payment for clerical services in
cases in which pauper afidavits had been
filed. None of it was ever left for the
payment of insolvent costs in criminal
cases. This was consideration, the Judge
thought, that should be in the minds of
the legislators when they take away from
the court officers the fines indicted upon
convicted gamblers and substitute another
system of payment in its place.

COLLIDED WITH A TUG.
Two Negroes Drowned Below Thun-
derboIt.

derbOIt
Two negro men, George Brown and
Isaac Butler, are supposed to have been
drowned in Thunderbolt river. off Desver-
gers Point. Monday night. The drowning
resulted from the collision of the rowboat.
in which they We're returning from
Thunderbolt to Wilmington, with the tug
Weymouth, on her return trip from War
saw to Savannah.
The men with Tracy Everett a white
man, and Francis Martin, a negro woman.
all of whom are employees of the Oemler
oyster Company, on Wilmington Island
had been to Thunderbolt for the purpose
OF laying in supply of groceries and pro-
visions. They had scarcely left the bluff
ana got fairly out into the river when in
tne darkness they collided with the tug
the boat was overturned, and all of its oc-
eupants We're thrown into the water.
Immediate efforts to save the lives of
the party were made by Capt. Shekens
ana crew of the Weymouth, who lowered
boats and threw out lines. In this man
ner Everett and the woman were saved
but Butler and Brown disappeared before
they could be reached. When the matter
was reported 10 Capt. Oemler, at Will
mington, he got out all the boats on the
island, and for several hours made deter
mined, but Intellectual, efforts to recover
the bodies of the two men.
These efforts were renewed yesterday
morning, with lack of success. Coroner
Goette was notified of the accident during
the afternoon, but at midnight had heard
nothing of the recovery of the body of
either OF the men. He will go down to
Thunderbolt to-day to make a personal in
vestigation. The Coroner does not believe
the bodies will rise TO the surface before
Friday or Saturday.
Capt. Shekells, master of the tug, report
ed to the United States inspectors of steam
vessels yesterday, that he sighted the row.
boat with its occupants as he was nearing
Thunderbolt. His lights We're properly
displayed, and he blew warning whistle.
but those in the boat seemed to take no
notice whatever
Capt. Shekells says he stopped and back
ed the tug, but notwithstanding this
the rowboat struck the starboard side of
the steam vessel and was capsized. The
two men, who were drowned attempted
to swim to the shore, and were lost TO
sight in the darkness. The woman chung
to the thwarts of the boat and held on
until she was picked up, while the remain
ing man swan about in the water until
rescue came TO him.
Capt. Shekells appeuds to his report an
affidavit of Tracy Everett, the white man
who was saved, that bears out the state
ment of the master of the tug, and ex-
orerates him of all blame.

MESSENGER COIN RESIGNS.
but Alderman Doyle Withdraws His
Resignation.

hehtSnat1Ons
Alderman Doyle will probably be in his
place at the Council Board tonight After
a consultation wi Mayor Myers he has
decided to Withdraw his resignation and to
continue to lend his aid to making the adj
minlstration a stccess, As, he stated in an
interview in the Morning News, Alderman
Doyle felt that he was not being treated
with the consideration TO which he was en-
TILED, and that his recommends tons were
not as effective as they should he. He was
assured by Mayor Myers, however that
his pull was as large and strong as that
of any member Of the board, and that he
was entirely mistaken in entertaining any
impression to the contrary AS his resig-
nation has never been submitted to Coun-
Gil formal withdrawal will not be neces-
sary.
The resignation of Messenger of Council
Isaac Cohn will come before Council to-
night Cohn was suspended several days
since by the Mayor on charges of various
derefict ions of duty, and the indications
were that his office would be declared va
cant tonight. His resignation makes such
action unnecessary. The resignation is eff
fective Dec. 1. Cohn states that he expects
to devote his attent'o 10 business and let
politics alone hereafter
Alderman 1. G. Haas will introduce an
ordinance from the Fire Committee, pro-
viding for pension for firemen retired af-
ter long service on the same terms as
have been given the police for a number
of years. This means that after twenty
years service a fireman who is unified
for further duty can be retired on one
third pay, or after thirty years service
on one-half pay. The Justice of such
measure has been long recognized and it
will doubtless receive the approval of
Council
The Hydraulic Cotton Press Company
has petitioned for permission to lay rail-

an improvement in transportation facili-
ties there would be of benefit TO the trade

medicines and advice are worth more
to a woman than all the doctors in the
world. For yearsI had female troubles
and did nothing for them. OF course
/ became no better and finally broke
down entirely. My troubles began
with Inflammation and hemorrhages
from the kidneys, then infiammat ton,
congestion and falling of the womb
and inflammation of ovaries.
:" underwent local treatment every
day for some time then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permits
sion to go back to work. went back,
but in less than week was COM
PEELED to give up and go to bed. On
breaking down the second time, de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone felt the eff
fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
package of her Sanative Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat
ments and medicine.

Jacksonville, where he will deliver an adj
dress to-day before the Board of Trade

upon the subjects of cane planting and
cane manufacture in Georgia and Florida

cooperation with those who have already
engaged In this work in Georgia Capt.
Purse will return to Savannah tomorrow.
He is arranging, however to accompany
a party of Georgia cane growers and 9TH
ers interested in the industry on q visit
to Louisiana, for the purpose of obtaining
informa ton as 10 the methods and results
of cane production and manufacture in
that state. The visit is made by invita-
ton of Prof. w. 3. Stubs, who was re-
Gently in Georgia. and who has assured
Capt. Purse that every facility will be ex-
tended the Georgians 10 enable them 10
accomplish the object of their visit.
DR.. Stubs recent visit to the cane grow
ing section of South Georgia aroused much
interest there, and the cane growers are
anxious to obtain Information which will
enable them to conduct their business on a
larger scale. AS the result of the agita-
ton of the subject, the advertising which
Georgia syrup has received from the news
papers and the lower rates extended by the
railroads, Georgia syrup is now selling in
the market for cents gallon more than
it did before the agitation was begun.
