LOOKED IN AT THE GENUINE.
Business Man Shocked by what He
Saw i'm Congfess Lane.

Saw i'm Congfess Lane.
This policy business is run in the mos;
open, shameful. audacious and outrageous
way Imaginable" remarked a business
man yesterday afternoon. who
had, apparently, been quite shock
ed by discoveries he had made
why. do You know, 1 was passing
through Congress street lane, between
Bull and Drayton streets, just now. and
saw a mob of about 80 darkies conere-
gated there Wondering what was the
matter. went to see.
We'll. 1 had heard of policy shops. !
knew there were such things in the city.
In fact, I had reason to believe there was
one in that lane. When l saw that crowd
Just decided would investigate. Walk
ing up to the place from which the crowd
was coming. glanced in. Hello I asked,
what's in here?
Dis is de Original Genuine, sah,''
answered one of the darkies. and l saw
that the place was fitted up with all the
appurtenanees. There was the board with
the name of the joint, The Only Genuine,
or The Original Genuine or something
of the sort, posted up, and beneath it
were a lot of numbers. The place was
a gambling outfit ell right enough, ana
wondered how il could be carried on right
there in the heart of the city.
Right across the lane there was an
other of the joints. l glanced in there,
too. Ii had the name Chatham posted
up. and business seemed to be brisk with
ii, as well as with the Genuine The
colored population was certainly we'll rep
resented in the two lay-outs, and there
had evidently been a very interesting
drawing. I didn't hear who had made
winnings or how the days sport had gone,
but 1t was a revelation to me to see how
the thing was worked so openly right in
Congress street lane in the busiest part
Of the city. Nobody seemed to think any
thing of my looking in. That was taken
as matter of course, a thing of such
common occurrence as to make no differ
ence."
Probably the business mans surprise
would not have been shared by hundreds
of persons in the city who are more famil-
lar With the policy business and the ex tent
10 which 1t prevails. He was simply on
his way from work and happened TO OBJ
serve the outpouring from the two shops
after the drawings. Ordinarily, the event
attracts no special attention. II is pretty
well understood that the darkies who IN
vest in tickets oongregate to see how their
luck stands to them, and the dissolving
crowds usually excite no comment.
Policy is the darkies' game. 1t is in
dulged in almost exclusively by their
race, though it is said the proprietors of
most of the shops are white men. who op-
crate the joints with the assistance of
negro clerks. Drawings usually occur
twice a day, and those who have invested
their small change in tickets are often on
hand to see how fortune treats them.

WAS A VALUABLE DOG.
Figured Mt What He Had Saved, He
WINS Worth $1,000.

The talk az the restaurant table had
turned upon dogs. Then one of the party
contributed a story that he had received
from the manager of a factory. 1t was
about dog that had proved of no little
pecuniary value to che company. In fact,
the animal was the best paying invest
ment the concern had ever made. In the
language of the manager. the story was
as follows:
"Out at our mill we have a dog that is
worth 5000. 1 mean he has saved the
company thai much money. How did he
DO 1t? Why, easy enough, and in way
that was a pleasure to the pup at the
same time.
You see we used to be troubled great
ly by rats. There was perfect horde OF
the creatures in the building. attracted
by the grain. They seemed to thrive in
spite OF everything we could do, and the
way they cut into sacks and bags brought
tears to my eyes. Why, 1t used to cost
me 81 a week 10 pay five negroes TO do
nothing but sew up bags that were cut
open by those pesky varmnts. ] esti-
mated the loss In grain at fully the same
amount per week.
Some body wanted to know why didn't

MIR. HOWARD TO LEAGUERs.
The Devotional Work of Chief I'm.
portance TO Members.

The Devotional Work of Chief I'm
portance TO Members.
A large number of Epworth Leaguers
hear Mr.. W. NJ. Howard Of cambridge,
first vice president of the state organi-
cation, speak of the work of the society
BY his position Mr.. Howard is the head
of the devotional work of the society, and
it was to this phase of the work that he
devoted NEST of his time last night
though the other Departments came in for
some notice.
Mr. Howard was introduced by Mr.. r.
]. Davant. He said that in no department
of church work was he so wrapped up as
that of the Epworth League and exp, ain
ed his interest by saying that the League
work reached a class that was not brought
into contact with the regular church, tine
young men and women. who having left
the Sunday School and being not affiliated
with the church, go drifting on the tide
Of life without compass and without
guide" To such the League in its work.
he said, has an uplifting and saving in
fiuence.
Some of u.s." he continued. do not re-
alize to what great body we belong and
its possibility for good; in this state there
are 1900. Leaguers and in the whole coun-
try, 10000. We belong to a body second
to rome in the country, and one whose
work ard aim is of the noblest kind, that
of saving souls"
In discussing some Of the methods Of
holding League meetings Mr.. Howard
said that whenever he heard of the liter
airy and social meetings receiving more
attention and being better attended than
the devotional meetings. he knew that
the members were net doing the Leagues
work, but had become a club, land for
clubs" he said. I'VE have no room in the
Methodist Church,
His advise 10 all leagues was TO get ut
the head of the devotional department
Christian man or woman, whose life is
consecrated TO Gods service. Then"
he said, there ought to be at least one
meeting a week Again don't turn your
devotional meetings into prayer meetings,
where the leader takes up all of the
time himself; the primary idea of the
league devotional meeting is to have
everybody in it take part, and II each of
you fail to go to these meetings pre-
pared to take part. you are negiecting
your work. Again more energy must be
put into your work, why, the amount of
interest and energy that some leaders put
into their meetings would not run a pea
nut stand for a week, much less build
up a strong and useful society

savannah Furnishing Her Quota to
Help Out ''UncIe SAM
The prospect of a war with China
seems to have awakened the war spirit
again If the enlistments that are now be-
ing made in the army may be taken as an
index of popular feeling. AT the local re-
cruiting Office the number of enlistments
averages one a day and the applicants are
of decidedly better stamp than usual
both physically and socially. Another no
ticeable fact about the applicants is that
they are by a large majority men who
have seen service with the army raised
during the Spanish American War, four
fifths of the applicants being men who saw
service with the volunteer troops.
The government, too, seems to desire an
unusual number of recruits, and to the
end OF securing them is establishing re-
cruitinG Offices in many of the small in
terror towns of the state.
In some of the regiments orders have
been received to recruit the company
strength to so men above the regular
strength in order, doubtless, to provide
for possible discharges, and keep the reg
iments up to their full strength
The government is particularly anxious

Judge Norwood Holds Weekly Crimi-
nal Session of City Court.

Judge Norwood investigated the merits
and dement's of the charges brought by
the solicitor general against sixteen negro
men and women who were arraigned be-
fore him in the City Court yesterday
morning. The court decided that ten of
the defendants were guilty of the offenses
with which they were charged and they
were sent 10 the chaingang for varying
terms. The others were discharged.
The cases were the usual assortment
of petty larcenies and minor assaults and
were devoid of public interest The con-
victons and sentences TO the gang were
fewer than are usual at this weekly
criminal session of the City Court, and
the county force will not receive its GUS
tomary number of recruits. An unnatur-
al spasm of virtue seems to have afflicted
the criminal classes of the community
and they have been exceptionally quiet
for the past two or three weeks II is
rather feared that the calm is but the
proverbial one that precedes the storm,
and that when the tempest does break, II
will take the form of tornado.

Leaken, trustee of the bankrupt estate
of A. C. Scott. against A. C. Scott and

and reported that they had not been able
TO reach an agreement.
AS the foreman of the jury further re-
ported that there was no present or flu

reached. Judge Faliigant withdrew one Of
the panel and declared mistrial. The
case resulted from the effort of the trus-
tee to draw into the general fund the ac-
counts that had been transferred by Scott
90 Dixon, Mitchell & Co. shortly before
the application for a discharge In bank
ruptcy was filed in the United States Dis
trict Court. The general creditors con-
tended that these payments were prefer
ences, and therefore were void.

1t will be noted that in several states
the new mileage is considerably more than
last year, although 1893 was noted for
the activity In railroad construction
throughout the South For instance,
Georgia has constructed III miles this
year, or over twice as much as during
the first half of 1899. Mississippi has near
" l2O miles to IDS credit, South Carolina
1902 miles, while Texas has constructed
1e4ik miles, compared with twenty-five
during the first half of 1899. and seventy
three miles more than during the entire
year. Although Virginia built sixty
three and three-quarters miles of hne in
1899, already It has constructed nearly
fifty miles during the present year. West
Virginia-has record for more new mile
age this year than during the entire peri
cd OF 1899.
ID will be remembered also that the
price of rails and other material has great
ly advanced within a few months, which
has undoubtedly caused the postponement
OF the building of several lines. Yet. in
spite of these facts It will appear that
during the present year more extensive
mileage will be built IN the South than
during its predecessor.
