IN POLICE COURT.
PatroImen Hate to Sec UnruIy Pris-

PatroImen Hate to Sec UnruIy Pris-
Oners Pay Up.
Fred Newsome, colored, was fined $40
by Recorder Myrick in Police Court
yesterday on a charge of being disor-
derby in Oglethorpe avenue lane. The
arrest was made by Patrolman Moses
Davis after q hard chase, and it al
most took the officers breath away
when the negro paid the fine, in place
of going to jail for twenty days.
An officer dislikes to see a prisoner,
who has given any trouble, pay fine,
and as a rule feels sore for days after
wards. When they have been put to
any trouble they want to see the Of
fender punished in some other way
than have his pocketbook emptied. The
police, too. say that of late most of
the negroes are able to rake up the
amount of their fines and escape doing
time.
The case against Rebecca Mungin,
charged with slashing Willie Williams
with a razor, was continued. The
wounded man is still confined in the
Georgia Infirmary. where he was taken
in the police ambulance.
James j. Smith. the young white
man charged with assaulting William
Young, colored, was dismissed.

Fishing and Lying.
From the New york Press.


Those who have never visited the
Port Tampa Inn, at the mouth of Tampa
Bay, on the west coast of Florida,
have missed novel experience. 1t is
nothing but a small cottage, built on
the end of pier that extends a mile
or more from the shore in order to
reach water deep enough for the Plant
steamers to make a landing with safe
ty. You may sleep and eat there, and
fish out of any window. In the main
room are records of fierce struggles
with the tarpon, several stuffed speci-
mems hanging on the walls; an enor-
nous collection of scales, each bear
ing the brief history of a marine bat
tie and a capture, is in a frame above
the mantelpiece, and a big book in
which fishermen and fisherWomen from
all parts of the world have written
their addresses, together with glowing
accounts of conflicts with the silvery
monsters, lies chained to a table. Late
one night, when deep sleep had fallen
upon all but one patron of the inn, he,
a famous Waltonian from Armuchee,
slyly turned to fresh page of the book
and wrote across it, in letters three
inches high, "Once a fisherman always
a liar" He made his escape and has
not yet been caught.

PLUCKY GEORGIAN WINS.
Although Handicapped by Fall
"BObby" WnIthOur Comes in First
in Thirty-lVe Mile Bicycle Race.


Bobby" WaIthour Comes in First
in Thirty-nve Mile Bicycle Race.
New York, Aug. 3.-The five great
pace followers, Bobby Walthour, jim
my Michael, Johnny Nelson, Harry
Elkes and Archie McEachern, were to
meet on the Manhattan Beach bicycle
track this afternoon to compete in a
thirty-five mile race. AT the last mo-
ment, however, it was announced that
Elkes would not race. 1t was said
that his physician had refused to allow
him to do so. This caused considerable
disappointment to the enthusiasts, but
the other four entered the contest.
Walthour won the race, his time being
54:O5 3-5. McEachern was second, Mel
son third and Michael fourth.
Walthour suffered fall this morning
in practice and started in the race with
both arms bandaged. When the pistol
was fired sending the riders away,
Michael was in the lead, with the other
three riders in clump behind him. In
the first mile Michael led, doing the
distance in one minute and thirty Sec
by one and two-fifths seconds: At the
end of the fifth mile Nelson led. The
pace set by him was terrific, but the
other three riders chung close to him.
McEachern punctured his tire in the
seventh mile and lost more than lap
and a half.
From the tenth to the fifteenth mile
Walthour gradually drew away from
Nelson and Michael, and at the end
of the fifteenth mile he was almost
sixteenth of a mile in the lead. At
the end of the twentieth mile Wal
thour leo Michael by almost a lap.
From the twenty-fifth to the thirtieth
mile the Georgian rode like whirl-
wind and gained still further upon
Michael. Michael held second place
until three miles from the finish, when
tire slipped from his wheel, enabling
McEachern and Nelson to pass him.
Walthour finished not more than a
mile ahead of McEachern and Nelson
was a lap behind McEachern.
