THERE were lots of people on the
streets on Saturday night and at times
it was a hard matter to get along the
side walks at all. The crowds were
out on business as well as pleasure
and the merchants did land office

goods did an especially large and juicy
trade.
THE social at the Presbyterian
church came off on Saturday night
and netted a nice little sum TO the or

entertain and amuse the visitors and
the evening passed off very pleasantly.

every one was ready to take advantage
of it.

CAUGHT AFTER A LONG CHASE.
CAROLINA NEGRO ARRESTED FOR
MURDER OF GEORGE JENKINS.

Crime WAS Committed in FetteFessa,
Near Charleston, in April-JenIkins
Found with His Head and Body
HiddIed With BuckshOt or SIugs.
A Previous Difficulty That Smith
and jenkins Are said TO Have Had,
Together with the Formers Dis
appearance on the Morning After
Murder, Led to His Being Suspect
ed of the Crime.
Jim Smith was arrested at the Tybee
depot last night and was locked up at the
station house on a charge of murder. It is
alleged that Smith shot and killed George
jenkins al Fetteressa, near Charleston, in
April jenkins was a negro and the man
arrested for his murder is also colored.
jenkins was killed on the plantation Of
Mr. William Chisholm, where he had been
working. and was found on The morning
after his death lying on the ground and
with his head shattered from a load of
huckshot or slugs that had entered his
brain Save himself and the murderer,
there was no one who saw the fatal shot
fired and the actual happenings that led
up TO the tragedy have remained a mys-
terry. There appears to be no positive evil
dence to connect anyone with the deed.
However on the day when jenkins
body was found, Smith who had been liv-
lne on the same plantation. disappeared. 1t
is said that he and the dead man had mad
a previous difficulty, and this fact, in con-
nection with Smiths haste TO leave the
community led the officers to the belief
that he was the murderer
The police of neighborlng cities were
notified of the crime and of the fact that
Smith was sus pected and asked to be on
the lookout for him. Detec-
tive Scully received Information
OF this request and a descrip-
ton of Smith and stored them away for
future reference. He ran up on Smith
finally at the Tybee depot. The negro
denied that he was guilty and said that
his departure from the plantation and
coming 10 Savannah a the time of the
murder were purely accidental He had
been offered job with the government
and came over to accept il. 1t was merely
coincidence that he left at a time just
after the murder and he knew nothing
about it, ne said, until his sister wrote
and told him that the body of jenkins
had been found riddled with bullets.
Supt. Screven has communicated with
the Charleston authorities and Smith has
been locked up to await their determina-

from the Charlesto ton police or the officers

SOMETHING OF INTEREST TO Yor.
A Few Facts in Favor of Creamerv
Butterine Against Butter.

At the commencement Of the coming
season all information poin.s to larger
demand for our high grade butteriae than
of any previous year. We fully believe
that the extraordinary on put of the past
year will be nearly doubled.
During the last few months, more has
been done 10 dispel the prejudice against
butterine than for years before
The pure food commission which met in
Chicago, and which was presided t., er by
the senator from Illinois, tho Hon. VIII
liam Mason, and who had as his col.
league Senator Harris Of Kansas. fur
nished the manufacturers of creamery
butterine an opportunity TO prove before
the highest authority IN the land the ex-
cellence of the product, and the purity
or every ingredient that went into liz
composition. Every chemist, professor or
butter expert who was placed under oath
certified before the commission the ey
cellence of butterine as a wholesome. nu-
tritious article of food, free from adulter
ation-without trace of any dangerous
germs
We hate to have to say a word against
an old-time friend, the butter. which wa
thought perfection in our early youth
must have become degenerate at the pres
ent day. The sworn evidence before the
commission was a revela ton. 1t was
shown 10 be rejuvenated with borax, free
zine and other acids to keep it presenta-
bic, and that tons of rancid, rotten butter
unfit for human food, was doctored nv
chemicals and placed on the market "a
the finest and freshest creamery butter
There has also been some startling ex-
periences by the state meat and milk in
spectors in its investigation at the stock
yards, which was presided over by Gov.
Tanner himself. Diseased cattle give i'm
pure miik-impure milk, dangerous butter.
With butterine, nothing but the pure but
ter fats of healthy animals are used. and
the process of manufacture effectually de-
stroys any unhealthy germs, should any
exist in the raw material
We return our sincere thanks to you for
your esteemed patronage during the past
season, and hoping for a continuance OF
your favors in the future. Hugh Logan,

Ample Evidence of Good Times APP
parent at City Exchange.
The time for the payment of the second
quarters city taxes closed yesterday. Dur
ing the entire day there was an unusual
rush at the treasurer's office, and at night
the employees were full ready to lay down
their work for the week. The taxes on
real estate and personally and water rents
were collected.
owing TO the fact no computations have
vet been made the treasurer is unable
to saw how much has been collected. I'm
ill things have been checked up it Will
not be possible to even make an estimate
of the amount. 1t is stated 1t will COM
pare favorably with former years, how
ever. and will net a good round sum.
Money seems 10 be plentiful with ma
iority of property owners, who generally
hasten to take advantage of the discounts
the city allows for prompt payment OF
taxes. The promptness with which taxes
have been paid this year has been quite
noticeable by employees of the treasurers
office.
The large demand for renting property
which keeps all desirable houses on a
steady earning basis probably accounts
for the indications of prosperity at the
treasurer's office. 1t Is well known that
Savannah prODdDly eXcellS most otneF
Southern cities in the demand for good
renting property. During the past two
months there has been considerable build
irg but in no instances have the proper
ty owners started work before they were
insured of contracts with reliable tenants
This has been the case all over the city,
and in many instances persons have pre-
vailed upon property owners to erect
houses for them, agreeing as an induce
meut TO enter into long-term contracts
one man has erected eleven houses so
far this year and in discussing the build
ing boom yesterday, incidentally remark
ed that all the eleven were rented before
work was started on them. Some think
Savannah has gloomy chances of growing
in population because there are not many
factories here, but the demand for prop,

The improvement boom, which seems to
