AN ADJOURNMENT WANTED.
Judge Hart Asked to Postpone Court
mt niIIedgevtIIe.

Milledgeyille, Ga, July S.-There is be-
ing circulated in this county a petition
addressed to Judge John c. Hart of the
Ocmulgee circuit. requesting him to ad-
journ court, which is to meet in this
county on the second Monday in July, for
thirty days The petition was commence
ed by the farmers Of the county and they
base their reasons for asking this post
ponement on the following facts: For the
past month rainfall in this county has
been very large and the work on the
farm has been greatly impeded on ac-
count of il. The crops are very grassy,
and unless they are cleared within the
next few days the damage will be very
serious. The court will take up probably
ten days of their time and will cause
them to lose the labor OF a considera BILE
number of their hands for the same time
The farmers say that ten days just at
this time is worth all to them, and that
IL court forces them to leave their crops
just now the loss Will be very serious
Ten days In August can be spared with
out as great inconvenience and without
as much loss. The bar has agreed to
the continuance. and IL Is very probable
that Judge Hart will accede to the re-
quest.
The crops throughout this county ore
very backward and need every minute OF
the time that can be given them.

EauNswIck's HARD LUCK STORY
Why CrowninshieId Was Not Favor
ably Impressed With Blythe Island.

Brunswick. Ca, July S.-Brunswick mas
not relinqmshed hope of yet securing a
torpedo boat station and the Board of
Trade is cooperating with Congressman
Brantley, Commander Aiken of the Ma
val Militia and Col Mschen in efforts
to swing one this way. hard luck
story followed the official visit of an
spection made by Capt. Crowninshield
to Blythe Island some months ago, and
TO overcome dts effects extra efforts are
being made Capt. Crowninshield reach
ed Brunswick late at night on delayed
train and was met by cold, driving
rain, the Committeeison Reception hav-
ing retired because of the leteness of the
hour. The baggage carried by himself
and wife became misplaced and the next
day the keys were lost. Following this
a drive rendered the Captain and his
wife ended with a handbag being lost
from the carriage and the trip to Blythe
was made in extremely disagreeable
weather. Brunswickians endeavored to
overcome the adverse condition of the
weather and the series of annoying incl
dents by cheerful entertainment, but
only partially succeeded, and it was
feared that the visit of inspection had
not been as advantageous as was desired
This failure to get the best foot forward
while Capt. Crowninshield was here
may have hurt Brunswick's chances, but
if he can be got back on another trip
he will be shown Brunswick and Blythe
at their best and the result may De ia
vorable. An effort in this direction is
being made whatever the result may be,
for Brunswick is not backward in show
inc her advantages.

There he was found by
Patrolman Blakewocd, who took him
into the store and kept him safe from
the threatening crowd that by this time
numbered several hundred men and wo-
men, until Superintendent owen Reilly
and City Detective Stark arrived on the
scene and took hand in the game. They

~ of the house he was stopped by the
woman who told him that her husband
wished to see him. Williams then came
out and after cursing him seized him and
1t was then that he had fired in self
defence.

ENDOWMENT RANK o. n.
w. t. Leopold Thinks an Investiga-
ton Will Make Things Straight.


The despatch in yesterdays Morning
News relative to the trouble over the
affairs of the endowment rank, Knights
of Pythias, caused by the charge that the
books are not straight and that they were
reported so by the state inspector of in
surance for Illinois, on account of a deal,
has caused a good deal of interest in Sa-
vannah. among the members OF the order
Mr.. W. T. Leopold grand keeper of
records and seals of Georgia, and prob
ably the best informed Pythian in the
city, said last night when seen by re-
porter of the Morning News that while
he had no doubt that there would be
found Irregularities in the books of the
endowment rank, due to the ineffieiency,
or. possible criminality of the recently
deposed president, and secretary, still he
did not think that the order. or any branch
Of il would suffer to any great extent
That this opinion is shared by the
greater number of those interested in
the endowment rank is shown, said Mr..
Leopold, by the fact that every member
in Savannah has paid his assessment
without a murmur and that, although
the matter of some drregulsrity was
first brought before the public some
time ago. the rank continues to thrive,
more members having been brought into
it during the quarter just closed than in
the preceding one.
The meeting to investigate the condi-
ton of the rank will be in Chicago and
will begin its labors July 9. The result
of each days work viii be sent TO the
principal Knights throughout the coun-
try each day and thus they will be kept
informed of everything that Is of inter
est to the members of the order.

Talented Negro Physician Writes
Another Book on Has Race.


Another Book on Has Race.
Brunswick, Ca. July 3-Dr H. r.
Johnson. the colored physician whose
pamphlet on THE Physical Degeneracy
OF the Negro" attracted so much favor
able attention some months ago. has just
been able TO leave his bed after several
weeks suffering from a difficult surgical
operation. occasioned by having sustained
a severe fan in March last. While recu-
perating from the effects he has been
compiling an article on Crime and its
relation to the negro race, and the result
of his researches and compilation of sta
tistics from every available source has
brought out some facts startling in their
significance. While a review of the work
is necessary for proper conception of its
scope and worth, interest will be aroused
in 1t by reason of the ability of the au-
thor. who achieved a wide reputation
through his other article. The first PAM
phlet has been reviewed In many coun-
tries. and the author now has a scrap
book containing some 5000 clippings on
that pamphlet. only one of which is a
dissehter. while the field covered reaches

dictments. This Time.
Tomorrow afternoon the grand jury of
the Superior Court will dispose of the

ed with grand larceny from Ed Haskell.
and B. F. Colsen. who is charged with
arson by setting fire to the Kentucky

Colsen protests his innocence. He APP
parently has no fear of going to trial,
and seems confident of an acquittal An
effort was made yesterday morning to
secure his release on a $500 bond Mr..
w F. Slater, his attorney. said that he
did not care to have formal hearing
of the case, In order TO secure bail for
his client, and no regular application was
filed. In the event that Colsen is indicted
by the grand jury his case will be as
signed for trial one day next week
New indictments viii be returned
against Charles Odell. Jim Doss. Simon

indicted by the jury at the last term of
court. but inadvertently the date upon
which the offense is alleged to have been
committed was omitted. This necessitat-
ed the nolle pressing of the cases.
Although the new bills have not yet
been found the cases against the men
have haa. ascicped for trial on Tuesday
The defendants will not plead guilty. but
through their attorney. Robert L. Colding,
will tight the cases. The indictments
were first secured at the solicitation of a
well-known young man and caused a
small-sized sensation at that time.
