ed in the alley. Grant is well known
as Lump" in the Gas House Hin sec
ton. and the officers are OF the opin-
ion that they will be able to locate the
man very shortly.
He was in the city after daylight and
the city detectives are OF the opinion
that in the face of the statement made
by johnson. which they do not doubt,
Rivers slayer Will surrender. Super
intendent Reilly's men say that If
Rivers had the brick, which it is claim
ed he had, Grant will not fear a trial,
even should the grand jury indict him.
The Coroner's jury took the same view
of the case and held Grant for man
slaughter so that the grand jury can
also have an opportunity to investi-
gate the homicide. Both County De-
tective Charlton and the city officers
are devoting their entire time to try
ing to learn just what happened in the
alley, and why Rivers was DESTROYS of
assaulting Grant, although they are
firmly of the opinion that Emma Green
was the bone of contention.

A QUESTION OF RIGHT.
Messrs. Kidwelrs and RObinson's
Position in Warsaw Tax Case.


There is considerable interest in the
Thunderbolt tax case pending in the
Superior Court. The officers of the
town of Warsaw were temporarily re-
strained from forcing Messrs. w. NJ.
Kidwell and Chris Robinson to work
on the streets because they refused to
pay the street tax of 81.
Messrs. Kidwell and Robinson repre-
sented about thirty white residents of
Thunderbolt in a test case. Their
names were used simply as a conven-
fence to settle the question of the
towns right to impose the street tax.
The suit was taken into court in be-
half of seventy plaintiffs, who believed
that the mayor and aldermen of War
saw had no legal right to impose a
street tax of 81, with the alternative of
working on the streets.
Messrs. Kidwell and Robinson, as
representative men, were chosen to
represent the others. Their attorneys
say they stand ready to pay the tax If
1t is declared legal, but they do not
believe it is, and hence the fight in the
courts. Messrs. Kidwell and Robinson
have endured considerable chatting,
but they believe their position is cor
rect and representing their constituents
they propose to stand by 1t. Messrs.
Beckett & Beckett, who represent
them, are confident that the tax will
be declared illegal by the courts

RIGHT LIVING AND ITS REWARD
The Subject of an Eloquent Sermon
by Rev. Dascom Anthony.

Rev. Bascom Anthony at Trinity
Church, last night preached an elo-
quent sermon on the uncertainty of life
and the need therefore, of living ac-
cordingly in the fear of God, so that
when death comes one will not have
spent his life vainly in the search of
mere earthly and unsubstantial things.
His text he drew from James iv, 49,
14-15 verses, Whereas we know not
what shall be on the morrow. For
what is your life? 1t is even a vapor,
that appeareth for a little time, and
then vanisheth away"
In impressing upon his hearers the
necessity for Goodness in their lives
he referred, though without mentioning
names, to the recent tragedy of Frank
Hemingway and Clara Stewart, as
showing the fearful ends sometimes
of those that deliberately choose the
things of this life, it's pleasures and
ambitions, instead of living according
to the laws of God. The self centered
life, he said, is at best a mean and
narrow one. while the God-centered
life gives to its possessor all things.

GAIN AND GOODNESS.
Rev. DIR. Jordan Preached on Money
at First Baptist.

at First Baptist.
THE Gain of Goodness and the IN
goodness of Gain" was the subject on
which Rev. DR.. John D. Jordan ad-
dressed his congregation last night at
the First Baptist Church.
The pastor said that people are apt
to rush to the conclusion that because
a man is wealthy he is dishonest, and
to the contrary view that because he
is poor he is honest. In neither case.
necessarily, is the conclusion correct.
1t is not fair to condemn a man of
wealth, nor. on the other hand, to
make a saint out of the man who has
not dollar. The prophet, the pastor
said, referring to his text does not
say that man shall not hold property,
but points out that gain is not Godli-
ness, but that Goodness is gain.
II was the purpose of the prophet to
keep people from making gain their
purpose IN following Christ. Christian
n.y. said the pastor Is the poorest OF
al trades. but the highest OF all call
inRs. He told a story OF some man who
had Joined q church IN the belief that
II would help his business because OF
the association with and the impression
Il would make upon the congregation.

ErstwhiIe theatrical Manager Took
French Leave Under Bail.

Mr.. J. Francis Miller, popularity
known as Buttons" a theatrical agent
and manager. and for a very brief
period editor-in-chief and business
manager of THE Antidote," was ar
rested yesterday on a charge of con-
tempt of court. He furnished bail for
his appearance before Recorder Myrick
this morning. Mr.. Miller only reached
the city yesterday, and registered as
being in his old line of business-that
is, a theatrical manager. He left .Sa-
vannah with a case standing against
him in Police Court and without the
formality of telling the court of his
intended departure. He was not charg-
ed with a crime embracing moral tur-
pitude, and was only chalked up for
riding a bicycle in a reckless manner
and running over a child. The case is
still pending against Mr.. Miller. and in
addition he will have to explain why
he was so disrespectful to the court.

early yesterday morning by Patrolman
