Mr.. Michael NJ. Sullivan died last night
at $50 O'Clock at his home No. 546 Bryan

for some time, having been confined to

summer with cancerouS growth on the

but was advised by the specialist with
whom he consulted that a his advanced
age an operation would be too dangerous.
the disease having already taken firm ho.d.
The deceased was one of the oldest resi-

THE REGISTRATION GROWING.
All Who Have Paid Taxes for 1895
Can Register.


The county registration is piling up very
rapidly, considering that this is an off
year.
There are now SS7 names upon the book,
the large majority being white voters.
There does not appear to be any move
ment on foot by interested parties to push
the registration, the majority of those who
have registered being of the class which
vote according TO their own judgement
The rapidity with which the list has grown
is attributed to the fact that many citizens
were shut out from registering last year
in time for the city election, because they
had neglected to do so before the rush be-
gan.
1t is no trouble to step into the tax col
lector's office and have your name in
scribed upon the book by the accommo-
dating registrar, Mr.. ]. G. Sullivan and 1t
is the best and simplest evidence of clear
tax record. All who have paid state and
county taxes for 1898 are eligible to regis
ter this year.

TELEGRAM WENT WRONG.
Operator Got One Letter Wrong in
Cipher Dispatch.

There was an interesting argument be-
fore Judge Norwood in the City Court
yesterday afternoon on demurrer filed
by the defendant in the case of Dixon,
Mitchell & Wells against the Postal Te,e-
graph Gable Company.
The suit is on account of the incorrect
transmission of cipher dispatch filed
with the companys agent at Savannah
by Dixon, Mitchell & Wells for delivery
TO William D. Gill a. Co. of Baltimore
and related to contract for delivering
40 600 crossties. Gill & Co. replied that the
dispatch contained two words which were
not in their code The dispatch was or
dered repeated, and i'm the repetition one
of the words was corrected, but the other
still remained in error. The whole from
Bile was caused by an error of one letter
the word "avouch' being transmitted as
"asouch."
Dixon. Mitchell & Co. complain that
on account of this error they lost The
contract, on which they would have OBJ
tained profit of $500. Mr.. w l.. CLAY
representing the defendant filed a demur
rer on the ground that there was no cause
set forth for action. This was opposed
bv Mr.. w. G. Charlton, representing the
piaintiff. After hearing the argument
Judge Norwood overruled the demurrer.

Sam Grant Acquitted of Charges
Made by Negro Woman.

Sam Grant, colored, was acquitted of
the charge of robbery by intimidation, af-
ter jury trial in the Superior Court yes
terday 1t was charged that Grant had
held up a negro woman in the southern
section of the city at night and by threats
and intimidation had forced her to give
him Is cents.
The defense showed, however, that
Grant had been in the employ of the wo-
man and that she had agreed to give him
so cents per week and his board for doing
chores around the house. After a few
days Grant requested the payment of Is
cents to which the woman agreed, but
which she failed to pay. 1t was this Is
cents which he demanded and used threats
to obtain.
There were a number of negroes in the
gallery who showed much interest in the
case. Their sympathies were evidently with
Grant and there was applause when the
verdict was announced. Mr. F. NJ Oliver
was the attorney for the defense,

HOT COFFEE HEREAFTER.
Mayor Myers Says Firemen Must
Drink II Instead of Liquors.

Dr1nk IL InSteuu OF Liquors.
Mayor Myers issued a circular to the po-
lice and the fire departments yesterday
that drunkenness proved on any employee
hereafter means immediate dismissal.
Other beverages must be used by the men,
Mayor Myers says, and his purpose in
sending out the notice is to put the men
on their notice.
Tightening the discipline against intem-
perance was brought about by an investf-
cation at the city exchange yesterday af-
ternoon, when two firemen were arraigned
before the Mayor for drunkenness while
on duty. Supt Mcguire and also the fore
men of the stations TO which the men be-
longed, were present to testify in connec-
ton with the charges. The matter was
thoroughly investigated, but Mayor Myers
was compassionate enough on the men to
say nothing about the action he may take
in regard to the violations He directed
the issuance of the circulars, however.
and they will probably be posted at the
stations to-day.
There is occasionally some excuse for
a fireman taking stimulants," said Mayor
Myers, ION returning in drenched con-
dltion to the station house after a fire.
This stimulant should be hot coffee. how
ever, and the city is wiling to supply an
that is needed to warm the firemen az
such times AT no time is there any ex-
cuse for drinking liquors while on duty
and violations of this kind reported to me
In the future will be dealt with as NV let
ter provides. My purpose in issuing the
circulars is TO put every man on fair no.
tice."
The firemen will doubtless be glad 70 se+
coffee. Notwithstanding there are some
who might prefer more enervating tonic
II is stated coffee drinking will be encour-
aged after fires, however, as a fitting
substitute for other things.

COUNTY BOARD VERY CHEAP.
Jail Prisoners Fed for "A Fraction
over Cents Per Diem Each.


The monthly report TO the County Com
missioners from the jail shows that the
cost Of feeding the prisoners during Feb
ruary was 61-l6 cunts per diem each, the
total cost for the month for the dieting"
Of prisoners at the jail being $685.
The small cost for feeding the prisoners
is not due 10 the fact that their diet is
so slim, but to The low prices at which
the county obtains its supplies and the
economy with which they are handled.
During February the Jail prisoners coll
sumed LAS pounds OF beef, fresh beef at
~ cents per pound. 3.1jO pounds of bread
at 29s cents per pound, 80 pounds of bacon
at 3.s5 cents per pound, 100 pounds of rice
at az cents, 50 pounds Of coffee at cents
and so pounds OF sugar at 5 cents.
The average number of prisoners per
diem during the month was 70. The month
was begun with 81 prisoners on hand, and
III were received during the month. In
the course of the month Ill prisoners were
discharged, 30 were sent to the convict
camps and poor farm, two were delivered
TO the United States marshal, seven were
delivered to state officers, one died, two
iunatics were sent to the state asylum and
one was discharged leaving SO prisoners
in the Jail on March J.
The Jail makes even "a better record
than the county convict camps. As shown
by Superintendent Chaphn's annual re-
port to the County Commissioners Thurs
day. the average cost of feeding each con-
Wet per diem was ~ cents. The cost of
guarding was 10 $40 cents, making the to-
tai cost of feeding and guarding each pris-
oner q $40 cents per diem.
The cost of eXcavating with the county
dredge on the Buckhalter canal was 40
cents per cubic yard, and not 40 cents as
incorrectly stated Yesterday.

home east of town and passed an even

amusements. A tasty lunch and ice

one made to feel that their presence

friends assembled to show their high
regards for Mr.. and Mrs. Wright and
to extend to them as friend and as
soclate their best wishes in their new
home and in their new relation. All
present We're royalty entertained and
while many We're not personally ac-
quainted with Mrs. Wright. they went
home feeling that one more worthy
and noble woman had been added to
their social circles who was well
worthy of their best friendship. After
the hour of midnight they ali return
ed to their quiet homes with many
fond recollections of a pleasant even
ing.
For twenty five years Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles kempf, ST., haze toiled to-
gether and enjoyed the pleasures and
comforts of life. Sunday being their
wedding anniversary, about eighty of
their friends came in and had one of
the most pleasant and agreeable times
that could possibly be had. Their
large and elegant house, just southeast
of town was thrown open to their
many friends where youth and old age
mingled freely, all enjoying the occa-
sion with an ease and freedom that
could not be surpassed. The crowd
was teasted in that manner which is
characteristic of Mr.. and Mrs. Kempf.
Ihey are among our most esteemed
and respected citizens and in life's
journey together they have labored
diligently and saved judiciously and
now enjoy as their reward the
pleasures of one of the best homes in
the county. The assembled guests
left many valuable gifts as tribute of
the esteem in which they are held by
their large circle of friends. The day
and night was happily spent and all
parted hoping that Charley and his
estimable wife would live happily
another twenty-five years, when they
would meet again and crown the clos
ing years of life with golden tokens of
the sweet memories of past days.
