Copyright, 1901, by II. z. Hamblen.
I had never seen jovial Jack Har-
greaves so distract. He, whom l had
known as a particularly abstemious
man. was taking his whisky straight,
and in amazing quantities. He entirely
disregarded my friendly gatherings.
Suddenly, as though unable to resist
an urgent desire to relieve his mind, he
blurted out:
"Course you've heard Of the Kate
Eastman, Andy. Everybody has"

ring to it, somehow. though I couldn't

HEAVY SENTENCE FOR RIOTERS.
Three Given $500 Fines Mt Dublin
other News Matters.

Dublin, Ga, June SIN the City Court
of Dublin yesterday Messrs. j. M. Lovett.
Bunch Lovett and Perdue were convicted
of riot and sentenced by Judge John s.
Adams to pay fines of $500 each. Robert
Ford, Geneva Lovett and Robert Wright
were acquitted of the same charge.
Some months ago much excitement in
the little town of Brewton, the northwest
ern terminus of the Brewton and Pineora
Railroad, was caused by a number of men
getting drunk and parading the streets
cursing and firing off their pistols At the
following term of the Superior Court in
dictments, charging riot, were found
against several of those engaged in the
fawless act Yesterday the indictments
were tried in the City Court of Dublin
with the above result
Mr.. j. NJ Lovett is one of the most
prominent merchants of Brewton, and is a
peaceable man except when drunk. The
people generally commend the verdict and
sentence.
The people of Dublin are much disap-
pointed that the Brewton and Pineora
Railroad viii be opened next Sunday from
Brewton to Savannah, and not from Dub
lin to Savannah. For several months the
people of Dublin have been led to be-
lieve that as soon as the road was fin
ished that trains would be run from this
city to Savannah Some months ago in
an interview, President Egan stated that
Dublin was the objective point of the
road, or words to that effect, and later
Mr.. j. p. Hanson the financial manager
of the Central, stated that the road would
be run to Dublin. Ever since the Brew
ton and Pineora has been operated, trains
have been run so as not to benefit Dub
lin. As soon as the morning train from
Tennille reached BreWton the Brewton
and Pineora train pulls out and returns
to Brewton after the Wrightsville and
Tennille train passes, coming to Dublin,
thus making il necessary for those from
this city who desire to use the Brewton
and Pineora road to drive in buggy to
and from Brewton.
While there is no doubt that the people
are disappointed that the Brewton and
Pineora will not come 70 Dublin, the
Macon, Dublin and Savannah road will
shortly offer to this city a shorN line to
the seacoast, via Vidalba and the Sea-
board.

WILL HAVE A NEW OFFICE.
Commercial Agent of Southern to Be
Moved 10 No. 10 Bull street.

@
Moved TO No. 10 Bull street.
The commercial freight Office OF the
Southern Railway, now in the same quar-
tiers with the passenger office, will be
removed about June Is to No. 10 Bull
street. This change was made necessary
as much by the growth of the business
of this department of the road as by the
desire 10 get nearer to the shipping in
terests of the city.
The office will be fitted up at consid-
cradle expense, and when completed VIII
be one of the handsomest in che city.
1t will be conducted by the present eff
cient force of the department. Mr.. Chas.
e. Bell, commercial agent, and Mr. J. B.
Ford, assistant. To this force an addi-
tion will be made in the fall.
The Southern Railway controls lines
aggregating 5000 miles traversing every
state in the South, reaching every i'm
portant point, and having five ports, Nor
folk, Charleston, Savannah. Brunswick
and Mobile.
1t is the intention of the railway 70
build up its business in Savannah as far
as is possible, anu lIflS IL IL dpul4ufAitiJ
able to do as through it's many branches
it traVerses the cotton belt of North Car
DINA, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi and Tennessee; the lumber
belt of Southern Georgia, Mississippi ana
Alabama; reaches the iron and coal sec
lions of Alabama and Tennessee, and,
through its connection with the Pennsyi~
vania Railway and the Baltimore and
Ohio Railway at Alexandria, Va reaches
all points of the East and Northeast.
II is the poliry of the Southern to open
up the resources of the South and, to this
fact will testify the many cotton mills,
cotton seed oil mills, factories aud en-
terprises of every character, located on
Its lines.
To further these industries a separate
department is maintained, in charge of
Mr.. NJ. V. Richards, freight agent, with
headquarters at Washington, and with
this branch of the road the traffic de-
partment co-operates in every way pos
sible, making such rates as will allow
these enterprises to compete with the
manufacturers of any other part of the
country. The railway has just placed an
order for a number of new cars with the
Georgia Car Works.
As a new line into Savannah the South
ern will have an active interest in the city
and all information as TO freight and
transportation can be obtained from c. +.
Bell. No. 141 Bulb street and, after June
TO- No 10 Bull street. Arrangements have
been made in Savannah to occupy jointly
with the Central all of it's terminals, w.

PAWNTICKET BROKERS.
Large Profits Are Made by Those

Large Profits Are Mnde by Those
Who Work ut This New Trade.
From the New York Herald.
A bright genius. puzzllng his brain as to
how to make dollars and cents from a
comparatively new field. thinks there is
money to be made in buying pawn tickets.
He employs men to carry sign mounted
on a long pole bearing these words:
"Unredeemed Pledges and Pawn Tickets
Bought
A woman hunted up the address given
on the sign and found an unpretentlous
shop. The interior was a mine of treas
ure. There were numerous diamonds and
Jewels. watches and chains bracelets,
brooches. ornaments OF modern and an
tique make. laces silks. satins. embroi-
deries and every conceivable useful and
useless thing under the sun were there.
The woman told the proprietor that she
had been unfortunate, and In order to
raise money had pawned some diamonds.
and now she was worried and afraid she
would lose them Would be tell her what

pawned articles ana keep them until they
could be redeemed or what did he do2

from her for y25.

After she left the shop she was puzzled
a long time as to how he made any money
by the operation, and what benefit II was
to him to pay the 1925 and the interest and
then try 10 sell them.
When she realized the small price she
had paid for her antique silver articles
she was more at sea than ever.
Then a man explained that when an ar
ticle is pawned the broker may advance
one-fourth It's value. Therefore her dia-
monds upon which she had obtained $780,
would really have been worth $500.
The second man. by paying S25, 500 and

broker, obtained diamonds worth $500 for

AN EXPERT ON FRENCH DUELING.
Henri Turot Tells why So Few who
Fight Are Hurt.


H. ]. W. Dam in New York Journal.
why is no one killed in a French
duel?" This question has been often
asked and never answered, outside of
Paris. How men. skilled in the use of
arms. can constantly confront each other
with swords as sharp as needles or the
deadliest pistols made and escape seri-
GUS injury is a question which arose at
a breakfast given to Henri Turot the
globe gailoper of the Journal de Paris
yesterday.
Turot had been talking of his duel with
Castellane, an account of which, written
by him. appears in another column. Tu-
rot Is known in Paris in that high Bo-
hemian circle which rotates about the
Cafe Napolitain, on the Boulevard DIES
Capucines, as an orbital center, as a "se-
rious duelist." That is, when he goes
upon the field one or the other of the
combatants is expected to return to Paris
in recumbent position.
Whether or not one of the combatants
in a duel is killed or seriously wounded"
said Turot, depends entirely upon the
character of the duel. If the injury the
result, is very grave, the duel is "a Pou-
trance This means that it must con-
tinue until one or the other of the two
duels of this class serious and mortal
wounds are not uncommon. They are
rather the rule. But challenges "a fou-
trance are sent rarely, and the fight
to the death is always prevented If pos
sible by friends.

and the principals are absolutely bound

Frenchmen Are Good Fencers.
Now all Frenchmen of good social

the use of the sword and pistol. They
are on the average very good fencers
Arrived on the field two long right arms
are opposed to each other. each bearing
n sword as sharp as a needle. Wounds
in the arm most sooner or later occur
and occur first. | should say that quite
30 per cent. of the sword wounds
in ordinary duels are in the
arm. The moment such wound. at all
serious In character. occurs the duel nee
essarly is at an end under this rule of
inferiority. which has governed duelling
in France. since 1880.
For instance. In the duel with Count
Boni I was twice wounded in the arm

der my skin crosswise and coming out
again; once in the right breast, the sword
breaking off in one of my ribs, and twice
in the right thigh. The second thigh
wound incapacitated me- could no
longer stand In the ordinary duel the
first of these wounds would have ended
the affair"
why are so few duellists injured in
