TRUCKERS MORE HOPEFUL.
They Now Believe the Potato Crop
Will he All Right.

A gentleman, who has been rather gen.
orally among the truck growers of the
county, said yesterday that the alarm
they professed some days ago for the
safety of their potatoes has subsidized
The farmers feared that the continued
rains would cause the potatoes TO rot IN
the ground, but they now believe the dam

slight.
No shipments of potatoes have yet been
made. but within week or so they will
be ploughed up and barreled for shipment
Ii Is said the truckers will make a very
good crop, not only of potatoes, but other
vegetables as we'll 1t Is hoped. though,
that potatoes and the vegetables yet to
come on, viii bring better prices than
peas, for the returns from that crop were
not what the truckers would have been
glad to see. Peas did not bring as much
as last year, by from so to 25 cents.

LAWTON's REPLY TO OSBORNE.
Ordered Gamblers Out Soon as He
Knew They Used LnwtOn Property.

Ordered Gamblers Out Soon as He
Knew They Used LawtOn Property.
Col A. r. Lawton, being asked yester-
day if he had anything to say relative to
the ownership Of a certain house, said to
be used for gambling purposes, to which
reference was made at public meeting
on Wednesday night, made the following
signed statement:
1T is evident that in his remarks on
Wednesday night as to the owners of
gaming houses, Mr.. Osborne referred to
Mr. Henry C. Cunningham, who presided
at the Hartridge meeting, and to myself
who was one of the speakers. The reports
Of his remarks as given by the two daily
papers differ materially, and 1 do net
know exactly what he said. l shall there
fore confine my answer to a mere state
ment of the facts.
With only one of the two houses in
question has either Mr.. Cunningham or
myself ever had any connection of any
sort That one formerly belonged to my
father who, once hearing a rumor that it
was used for unlawful purposes, went to
II and through 1t in company with the
renting agent without previous notice,
making a personal inspection and found
II TO be untrue. After his death, the yum
or again cropped out, and Mr.. Cunning
ham and were positively assured by the
renting agent and by the tenant through
him that it was not true.
Although 1 knew that the house was
occupied by though not Immediately
rented to man generally reputed to be a
public gambler, 1 was led 60 believe, and
ala believe that it. was only as a resi-
dence and used only for residence pur-
poses and had no objection to his rent
Ing IT and using it as such. On Saturday
tine morning after the Hartridge meeting)
a warm personal friend informed me that
the house was used as a gambling house.
Al my ms ance he brought me witness
VINO spoke from his own knowledge. i'm
mediately proceeded to terminate the
tease, and by Saturday night not only
was this done, but all gambling imple-
ments were removed, the rooms in which
they were situated were emptied and lock-
e. and the keys taken into my renting
agents possession, where they now are.
nave in response to the tenants earnest
request, given him until Friday night to
remove all his furniture and other possess
slohs from the house and premises, and
surrender them to my agent.
lt therefore appears that so soon as the
idets We're brought TO my knowledge and
long before any charge was made, l acted
promptly and remedied the wrong all
tHouBn IL leaves the house without a ten
ant and therefore producing no income.
~ Inc solicitor general has reason to be-
neFe that the facts are otherwise than
a. stated here, he will, presume bring
tue matter to the attention of the grand
jury.

he Is confined to his bed by Illness.

ward with considerable pleasure to the

there have been large attendances, and
the Ncthodists in Savannah are anxious
that this city should not fall behind in
this respect. They are anxious that

WITNESS HAD THE NOTES.
Amusing Incident of the Hearing in
the WiIensky Case.

An amusing incident happened some
days ago, during the time when NJ.
Wilensky was being interrogated as to his
connection with the Savannah Shoe and
Dry Goods Company, which had announc-
ed, its willingness to be declared a bank
rupt, on the petition of certain of its
creditors
Wilensky was the manager of the COM
pauy, and the pleadings that had been in
PRODUCED had charged him with the perpe-
tration of numerous frauds. 1t was alleg-
ed that he had made away with a good
deal of the assets of the company.
Wilensky was on the stand before
Referee mcdonnell, and was being inter
rogated when the amusing incident oc-
Cured. Mr.. A. L. Alexander asked the
witness what had become of the large
amount of goods that appeared from his
books to have been purchased during the
months of January, February and March.
What became of these goods?' Mr.
Alexander queried.
why, I sold Them" was the answer.
why, then" Mr.. Alexander retorted
you must have sold them for a song"
Il don't know about that, Mr.. Alexan-
der" said Wilensky, but I have here a
number of notes" The attorneys and wit
nesses' were amused, and the witness on
the stand was permitted to continue his
evidence

HEARD A PAwNBRoKERs' ROW.
A Delegation Before the Committee
of the whole of Council.

of the whole of Council.
The Council met as Committee of the
Whole yesterday afternoon and passed
upon various matters. A delegation of
pawnbrokers, headed by L. Alexander,
was before the meeting to urge petition
previously presented by them, requesting
legislation to prohibit pawnbrokers from
having lights in their windows after 7
o'clock at night and also to prohibit them
from living and doing business in the same
place. y.
1t seems that M. Blumenthal who is
comparatively a new conner in the bust
ness, lives in the same building with his
pawnshop and the other pawnbrokers
think he has been violating the ordinances
which prohibits the pawnbrokers from
doing business after certain hours. They
have NOT been able to catch him in any
of these violations, however, and so they
want Council to enact additional regula-
tions to make sure that he does not get
ahead of them. They also charged Blum
enthal with doing business on Sunday be-
cause three negro women, were seen en-
tering his place of business Sunday morn
ing.
The Council did not decide to take any
action in the matter, holding that If
Blumenthal had violated any of the ordi-
nances the remedy Of his rivals was to
enter charges against him upon the infor-.
nation docket.

DRAGON NOT LAUNCHED.
Mr.. Harry Strnchan VIII BE Captain

The Dragon was not launched yester-

rigging required little more time. 1t is
probable she will be fioated today or to-
morrow. and the crew will soon be aboard
her to give her a few trial trips to see If
she is in as good trim to meet the Maris
as she was last year when she wrested the
cup from the Charleston Yacht Club.
1t is not known who will sail the
Dragon as captain in the race with the
Maris. 1t is thought, however, that 1t
may be Mr.. Harry Strachan. He, at all
events. will be captain of the training
crew. Mr.. Julian Schley, who so success
fully sailed the boat last year, will give
way for some other yachtsmap to take the
honor. The Dragon Committee of the
