Miles of Ribbon Used.

From the London News.
1t is calculated that about 5000 yards
of ribbon will be issued with England S
South African war medals.
This estimate is made on the assump-
ton that about 100000 men will secure
the medal, there being nine inches of rib
bon served out with each medal.
No decision has been arrived at as to
whether any of the ribbon will be sent
out to South Africa to the men who are
entitled to It.
The custom has been to distribute the
ribbon on the return of the troops, and
this will probably be the course adopted
in the present instance.
Meanwhile, these regiments already
back from the war can put in their claims
for the ribbon, and can wear It.
1t Is about an inch and a quarter wide,
and is made of ribbed silk of three COL
ors-red on the edges. dark blue next and
orange in the center.

SLAPPED HIS FACE.
Proprietor Massart Fined for strik'
ing j. ID. Harris.

Proprietor Massart Fined for striI<-
ing j. ID. Harris.
f. A. Massart. proprietor of the Royal
Music Hall, admitted in Police Court yes
terday that he slapped the face of ]. D.
Harris and was fined $40 by Recorder My
rick The blow was struck in the con-
cert hall, and while without any legal
provocation, according to Massart's story,
certainly not without any provoostion.
The concert hall man stated that it was
true that he had slapped the face OF Har-
ris, but said that Harris actions had
caused him to do it, He had employed
Harris, he said and when he wanted to
go to New York had furnished him with
the funds necessary to make the trip.
According to Massart Harris got on his
uppers in the metropolis and was fur
nished money to return to Savannah and
again I'LL place on the music hall staff.
About a week ago Massart was informed
that Harris was preparing to go to work
for Gildeas Alhambra, rival music hall.
Massart says that he asked Harris about
the report and that he denied it's authen-
ticity. The Royal proprietor told Harris
that, of course, he could exercise his
rights as an American citizen and quit
when he pleased but he did not consider
1t just the proper thing 90 do in the face
of recent events. Massart asked that
Harris at least give him the customary
two weeks notice of his intention to
leave
The report of Harris proposed depart
ure for the rival concert hall was carried
to Massart frequently. and he began to
feel that where there was so much smoke
there must be some fire. Harris persist
entity denied his intention of making a
change. but. according to Massart. admit
ted the charge when brought face to face
with one whom he had mentioned the
matter TO. This exasperated Massart and
he struck Harris in the face.
There has always been strong rivalry
between the Alhambra and Royal. and
more than one case has found its way
into the courts as a result. About year
ago Judge Falhgant signed an order tenn
porariy restraining a woman performer
from singing in the Alhambra because
she had broken a contract made with
Massart. The case attracted some atten-
ton at that time and the woman was
finally permitted to sing at the Alham-
bra.

LOWNDES GROWING WEALTHY.
Tax Values Increase over $1,OOO,OOO
in the Last Three Years.

Valdosta, Ga. June 2S-The tax re-
ceiver's books will show that this year
has been a record breaker in Lowndes
county on increase in tax values. The
increase will amount to a little over
$780, 900 making about s1,200000 for the
past three years, and showing a healthy
increase for each year Most of this in
crease is due to the phenomenal growth
in values in this city, though each of
the districts outside of the city shows
healthy improvement. Considering the
fact that Lowndes county is not new
county and that there has been no spe-
cal boom in any line of development the
returns give great satisfaction to the
people here.
A report reached the city yesterday of
the finding of the body of negro near
Ousley station, and Coroner Solomon was
summoned to hold an inquest 1t de-
veloped later that the body was found
on the Brooks county side of the river,
so the body was left for the Brooks
county coroner to examine. 1t was sup
posed that the man had been dead about
ten days and the theory is that he was
drowned while trying to swim Little
river. 1t is not known who the negro
was as the body was badly decomposed,
but it is supposed to have been the body
OF a negro who escaped from the coun-
ty changing about two weeks ago. and
who attempted to make good his escape
by swimming the river, which was very
high at that time.
The city officials are considering plans
for increas sing Valdosta's water supply.
Several increases have been made during
the past few years and another artesian
well was bored some time ago, but the
demand for water has grown so great that
the supply is inadequate. The superin-
ten6ent of water works reports that the
city is using about 200 gallons of water
per-capita each day, or over 100000 gallons
for the town. This is regarded as exces-
sive and the Council is trying to adopt
some plan to either limit the amount used
or else increase the supply.
The 3-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
D. Spurlin, of Hahira, was buried here
to-day, the little one having died yester-
day of fever. The little boy was a grand
son of Mr.. Coley Bryan of this city.
The first solid carload of cantaloupes
was shipped from here yesterday by Nc
Rec Bros, and was billed to New York
The hot weather of the past few days has
helped melons and cantaloupes and this
Shipment was of excellent quality.

THE COLUMBUS MAN HUNT.
Many Searching for Sparks, But
None Has Found Him.

none mas FOun0 Him.
Columbus Ga, June 2S.-The man hunt
has gone on with an abated vigor to-
day. Deputy Sheriff Moon arrived from
Opeilka at noon to take charge of the
hunt for Sparks, the assassin of Jack In
gersoll. Blpodhounds from Chattahoo-
chez county, have reached here, and it
was hoped to-day that some trace of the
negro would be found, by which dogs
could be given the scent, but this hope
was disappointed. A dozen negroes have
reported to-day that they saw Sparks in
different sections of the city with his
Winchester, but the police believe that
every negro with a gun is set down as
being Sparks.
Tonight sensation stories of the TAX
ing of Sparks are circulated. but up to 8
o'clock, he was still al large. At that
hour the police were more hopeful than
at any time since the commission of
the crime. They are confident that they
now know pretty much where Sparks is
in hiding The negro is thoroughly des-
perate, and armed to the teeth, and it is
believed that he will fight to the end If
he is sighted. 1t is freely predicted that
he will not be taken alive unless STRAIT
egg is resorted to. A half dozen or more
armed parties are securing the country
for Sparks, and all roads leading out of
that city are closely watched by armed
men. The negroes ese wrought up to a
high state over theL case. and If Sparks
is caught it is said they will make de-
termined effort to lynch him and Inger-
soils wife.
Small Boy Drowned.
There is small sensation just across
the river in Girard to-day. Oscar Per-
ry, negro child only years old, was
drowned in the Chattahoochee yesterday
afternoon. 1t is said that several larger
boys compelled the little fellow to go
in bathing and then let him drown.
Search for the body has been going on
all day, but has been fruitless. Marshal
Bishop is trying to find out the names
of the boys who caused the drowning
of the child, and thinks he will succeed.
