NEGLECTED HIS DUTY.
Charge Made by PatrOIman M. Davis
Against Omcer Lakewood.


Patrolman Moses Davis created quite
stir at yesterdays session of Police
Court by charging that a brother Of
ficer had refused to do his duty, and
later the matter was officially report
ed to Superintendent Reilly. Patrolman
Lakewood of the Central Railroad
force is the officer who is alleged to
have been derelict in his duty, and the
charges made by Davis will be inves-
tigated by Mayor Myers.
Davis appeared in court against a
negro named Louis Williams, who was
held for drunkenness in the street. The
officer stated that he wanted to explain
how he happened to be the prosecutor,
and why he had arrested Andrew Lane,
a character generally called "Did'in
as a matter of spite" as the officer
expressed it. Davis declared that he
saw Williams drunk on the steps at the
Central passenger shed, but did not
arrest him because the drunk was not
on his division. The city officer claims.
however, that he called the attention
of Lakewood to the negro and asked
that officer why he didn't make the ar
rest.
Davis says that Lakewood answered
that he would begin his vacation in
waste his time in court, in a case of no
consequence. The city officer alleges
that he returned to his division, and
an hour later again made his post at
West Broad street. According to the
officer he saw "Did'in" dragging the
helpless drunk on his division, so that
it would be up to him TO make the ar
rest. Davis stated that "Did'in" was
doing the stunt at the request of the
railroad patrolman. who wasn't pleas
ed at the idea of spending his own
time in the court room.
Davis told the Recorder that when
the man reached his division there was
nothing to do but make the arrest, and
that he decided to send in the character
Andrew for the part he had played in
the affair. Recorder Myrick stated that
he had nothing to do with the differ
ences that might from time to time
arise between the members of the po-
lice department, and instructed Davis
that the proper action for him to take
would be to put Lakewood on the
Mayors docket. Davis pursued this
course. Williams was fined S. for the
trouble that he had occasioned for his
fondness for strong drink, and "Did'in"
was dismissed with an admonition to
be careful how he moved sleepers from
one mans division TO another.

ADJUSTING TAX RETURNS.
Chatham's New Rate Will BE Figur-
ed Out This Week.


1t is expected that information will
be received from the controller general
in Atlanta this week, that will enable
the County Commissioners to deter
mine what the tax rate for Chatham
county will be for 1901.I Until 1t is
known what the big corporations have
valued their holdings in this county,
the tax rate cannot be fixed.
AS soon as the figures are received
from Atlanta Vice Chairman A. b.
Moore of the commissioners, will call
special caucus for the purpose of
fixing the new rate. At the special
meeting held last week, it was d.scov-
cred that nothing could be done until
It is known what returns the big cor
porations have made, and these amounts
win cut quite figure in the new rate.
The commissioners have received a
letter from the controller general. say
ing that the delay in forwarding the
desired information is brought about
by the fact that two of the big corpo-
rstIons are having their returns adj
jUSted. They are the Plant System
and the Bell Telephone Company. and
1t is thought that their figures will he
adjusted satisfactorily this week. The
County Commissioners will be notified
Immediately after the figures have

HAD A NARROW ESCAPE.
Grandson and Grandsire Struggled
Together in water.

Mr.. Henry G. Ward saved little
Charlie Sipple. his grandson, from
drowning at Isle of Hope yesterday.
but narrowly escaped losing his own
life. Age forget it's incapacities, how
ever, in the face of the danger to
youth, and the first generation rushed
to the rescue of the third.
Charlie Sipple, the nine-or- ten-year-
old son of Mr.. Charles H. Sipple, sat
at the end of wharf at the resort,
fishing in the Vernon river. Several
people were within sight and sound of
the place. This was fortunate. or the
little fellow might have found no hand
to save him from the fate that threat
ened.
In some way Charlie got his line
tangled about his feet. This tripped
him, and over he went Among those
hard by and hearing the cry Charlie
gave and seeing the plunge he took,
was Mr.. Ward. That gentleman did
not stop to think of his years or his
inability to swim, but rushed to the
end of the wharf Without a moments
hesitation, in he went.
The grandsire reached the grandson
and caught him in his arms. Then his
usefulness ceased. He could not strike
out for the shore or reach one of the
piers supporting the wharf. the educa-
ton of his youth in aquatic sports
having been neglected. His mind had
been upon but one thing, however, the
rescue of the boy, and it was only
when he found that he was beyond
his depth that it seemed to him that
his effort would but result in the death
of both.
The boy had sunk twice before Mr..
Ward reached him. Then both sank. A
colored man in boat had been at
tracted by the commotion, and he made
quick speed to the place. He was the
rescuer of both grandsire and grand
son, neither of whom proved much the
worse for his experience.

There are three good reasons for a
mans not taking insurance:
First That his family history or
present health is such that he will not
be accepted.
Second. That he has not now, and
cannot get, the money to pay the
premium on the policy.
Third. That he does not care a snap
for his family.
We are sorry for the first two; his
family is sorry on account of the other
one.

Many a man who boasts that he has

There is a vast difference between

that perfect state where the perform

pleasure.
Health is the supreme and highest
gift of the Creator and it's preservation
should be the chief aim of man.

you now do? Take thorough course

will give Johnson's Tonic an honest
trial and who is not immensely bene-
fitted by it. Give it an honest trial and

MANY VISITORS TO TYBEE.
More Passengers Handled This Year
Than There Were Last.

More Passengers Handled This Year
Than There Were Last.
The Central Railroad has done a big
Tybee business this summer. 1t has
greatly increased the record of last
year. Many other visitors have come
from the interior, because of the open-
ing of new lines and the greater atten-
ton that has been shown the excursion
business. Special excursions have been
run every Sunday from Atlanta, Ma
con, Augusta, Dublin and intermediate
points, with the result that more peo-
pie have taken advantage of the OPP
portunity to visit the seashore at the
reduced rates that have prevailed.
By the close of the excursion season,
which will be Aug. 80, there will have
been fully 10000 visitors brought from
interior points. About 1000 from At
lanta, Macon, Augusta, Dublin and in
termedfate points are expected to-day.
These figures are for the Sunday spec
ials alone. BY actual count, these
specials have brought S,577 visitors
into Savannah from June to Aug. IL.
When all the excursions the Central
has run into Savannah this season are
included, the total passengers reaches
10000.
In June of last year the Central took
Ia, 4S4 passengers to Tybee. In June
of this year the number was 1887. In
July of last year the number of passen-
gers was 22,S73. In July of this year
the number was 26, 404. The statement
for August has not yet been made up.
The present schedules on the Tybee
Railroad will be maintained until af
ter Labor Day, when it is expected
there will be great crowd to visit
the island. The hotel is still open, and
the pavilion is doing business. Both
will be kept open as long as the pat
ronage warrants. The season of dance
nights has closed.
