FOR SWINGING TO CARS.
Conductor Roe Captured Two Lads
for Tresspass on Barnard Line.


for Tresspass on Barnard Line.
The trespassing by boys upon NOV
ing cars, particularly on the Barnard
and Abercorn belt, is becoming a nuis-
ance that calls for attention. Aside
from the danger in the practice, 1t is
a source of discomfort and annoyance
to passengers.
Conductor oscar Roe of north bound
car No. go, on Barnard street, last
night had a tussle with several boys
who were swinging to his car while in
motion. Roe succeeded in catching one
lad. whom he held for the police. This
aroused the trespassers comrades. who
boarded the car and used forcible
means TO secure his release They tried
to pull him from Roe's clutch, but the
conductor was game. and not only
chung to his prisoner, but captured an
other boy, both of whom he took to
the market police box and turned over
to an officer. The boys engaged !n
this trespassing are from 10 to IA years
of age. Several passengers witnessed
the disturbance.
Since the Barnard street was double
tracked the street railway company
has had trouble in operating it's cars
owing 10 the large number of children
who play in the tracks and otherwise
endanger their lives. Unless the dam
ger of playing on the tracks and swing
ing to NOV wing cars is appreciated 10y
parents serious accidents will be only
a question of time.

Mr.. ANTHONY STIRRED 'EM.
His Sermon Put PrO-Prize Fighters
to Talking.

Rev. Bascom Anthony's sermon that
appeared in the Morning News yester-
day was widely discussed. His ultima
tum upon the question of prize fights
stirred up lively opposition, as might
have been expected. Undoubtedly
there are a great many church people
and others who would like to see the
law upheld and prize fighting in Sa-
vannah stopped. but there is another
and numerous element that wants the
sport to continue.
Quite a number of representatives of
the latter element were heard to ex-
press themselves upon the question
and they did so forcibly. They want
the fights to continue, they say, and
they believe that the Good Govern
ment League has accomplished about
all that 1t should. AS one man express
ed it:
81 think the Good Government
League has done enough. l stand by
it in what it has done. 1t has stopped
gambling and it has stopped barrooms
from keeping open on Sunday. That
is all right. but the preachers and 9TH
ers had better stop there. They will
find they can't run this town.
1t II all well enough as far
as they have gone. They
should be satisfied. The people are not
going to stand for this thing of shut
ting up the club bars and putting a
stop to prize fighting. They are not
going to be dominated by the preach
ers and those who support them"
That is pretty much the way it goes.
About the same sort of talk is made
by those who think the League has
gone far enough and that it's efforts
should be to maintain the ground it has
gained.

FOR THE DAY NURSERY.


Picnic Mt Tybee To-day.
The Kings Daughters Union will
give a picnic at Tybee to-day. Its OBJ
ject is to raise funds for the Free Day
Nursery, which is conducted by the
union and for which it is desired to
secure new quarters, those at present
occupied having proved too small for
the growing needs of the institution.
AS the ladies will get a percentage of
only those tickets that they sell they
ask that those who intend visiting the
island to-day secure their tickets from
the representatives of the union, who
will be at the depot for all trains.
Though the day nursery was intended
originally only for the care of children
whose parents were obliged to be from
home during the day, the scope of the
work has been so enlarged that chill
dren of sick parents, as we'll as young
orphans that otherwise cannot be pro-
vided for, are received and kept until
other arrangements for their welfare
can be made.
So large has the work grown that the
quarters on Park avenue, west, now
occupied, have grown entirely too
small, and the Union has Joined the
Kate Baldwin Free kindergarten Sys-
TEN in the purchase of a lot in the
southwestern section of the city where
will be begun the erection of build
ing that will meet all needs so soon
as $1,000 can be raised by the Union.
Quite a part of this amount already is
on hand and it is to raise the remain
der that the picnic is given to-day.
The members of the Union are, from
experience, so thoroughly convinced of
the great value of the Day Nursery
that they have no hesitancy in asking
the public to assist them in their work
and believe that they will meet with a
liberal response.

COTTON IN GEORGIA.
MIR. w. II. TeasdaIe Back From n
Trip Through the Crop Section.

Trip Through the Crop Section.
Mr.. w. H. Teasdale. of the firm of
Teasdale & Co, cotton and freight
brokers of Savannah, has just returned
from trip through the more important
cotton growing sections of Georgia.
Mr.. Teasdale was on a purely bust
ness trip and one feature of his bust
ness was to observe the condition of
the crop. This he found to be in fairly
good condition, with the prospects IA
vorable for a satisfactory yield. OF
course continuous rains have damaged
the plant considerably. but the deteri-
grafton has not been very great on this
account.
The damage has been far less in
Georgia than II has in other states.
Referring to the cotton at one point he
visited Mr.. Teasdale said he saw 10
bolls on one stalk. While this plant
was an exceptionally fine one, still II
was not of the garden spot sort, but
fairly represented the very best in the
fields.

BOER FORCES
In Cape Colony Now Number Five Thousand
Armed Men.
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
London, Jan. 1.-The Capetown cor
respondent of the Daily Mail, who
dwells upon the gravity of the position
in Cape Colony, says: The Boer in
vaders now number 5000. and the west
ern invasion gives the most corcern.
1t is split into two divisions which are
marching like the prongs of a fork,
one by way of Sutherland toward
Malmesbury, and the other toward
Beaufort west.
The enemy are now ranging over the
immediate tracts of territory necessi-
tating the employment of an army
corps to deal with them. Lord Kitch-
erner has poured troops into the dis
turbed areas, but the fugitive tactics
of the Beers have neutralizedI his pre-
cautions. 1t is felt that the only means
of excluding the invaders from the
rich district in the western part of the
colony is to call out the farmers. To-
days telegrams promise splendid re-
sponse from the eastern portion. but
the western portion is doubtful.
Not thirty per cent of the popula-
tion is being regarded as loyal, hence
the Boer concentration in that direc-
ton. Letters arriving here detailing
damage and robbery by the invaders
and beseeching the military for assist
ance. Any action on the Dart OF the
colony will not aIbate the urgent need
of large reinforcements.
