threw a clock at her which struck her
in the eye and almost caused the loss

CUTS INDICTMENTS
BILL WHICH AIMS AT CHANGE IN
CRIMINAL STATUTES
TO BE PRESENTED SOON
WOULD DEPRIVE GRAND JURY OF
TIME HONORED SUPREMACY.

L. G. Harvey Sent the Bill to Atlanta
Last Night-Wiu BE Fathered by
Senator MOOre-PrOvides for the
Trial of All Criminal Cases, Re
turnabIe to Superior Court, Upon
Warrants-NO Indictment or Pre-
sentiment Necessary-It Is Claimed
That the Enactment of the Bill
Would Operate TO the Confusion of
Criminals and the Triumph of JUS
tice-what the Bill COntempIates.
The laws of the state may be so
amended as to render a grand jury
presentment or indictment in criminal
cases tried in county courts unneces-
sary for prosecution. 1t may be that
a written accusation will suffice.
L. C. Harvey, Esq, last night sent
to Atlanta copies of a bill that, he
says, will be introduced in the Senate
and the House. In the Senate 1t will
be fathered by Senator Moore. The
caption of the bill is as follows:
"a bill to be entitled an act to pro-
vide for the trial of all criminal cases
returnable to the county courts in
this state, of which the state has juris-
diction, upon written accusation, with
out Indictment or presentment by the
grand jury and the form of said ac-
eusation."
The signature of the prosecuting Of
ficer of the court must be borne by the
accusation. 1t is claimed that such
change in the law would operate to the
confusion of criminals and the tri-
umph of justice. No right to demand
presentment or indictment by the
grand jury would be enjoyed by an &C
cused, and the ends of justice would
not be defeated, as they sometimes
are, through such causes as the deaths
of prosecutors or principal witnesses,
as now sometimes happens.

NINETY PER CENT. UNPAID.
Half of the Time Allowed for the
Payment of Taxes Has Elapsed.


Payment of Taxes Has Elapsed.
Taxes are coming in very slowly. To-
day the books will have been open half
of the allotted time for the payment
of taxes, and yet there is fully ninety
per cent. of the returned valuation un-
paid. Saturday and Monday the heav-
lest returns since the books were open
ed were made. This is accounted for
by the fact that Saturday was the first
day of the month, salary day to many,
while Monday was election day, and
many who came to the polls to vote
took advantage of their proximity to
the tax collectors office to pay off their
obligations to the state and county.
No one is entitled to vote in the
municipal election in January whose
tax is unpaid. The payment of taxes
is all that is necessary for those who
are already registered, another regis
tration not being required. The regis
tration books are open for further
registration, but less than a dozen
names have been added to the list
since the books closed for the con-
gressional election three weeks ago.
The tax collectors office will remain
open for the reception of taxes until
the middle of December, and from
present prospects the office force will
be very busy at the eleventh hour.

CIGAR MEN BACK TO-DAY.
VIII Resume Work of Arranging for
the Factory.

The representatives of the American
Cigar Factory are expected back in
Savannah to-day. They were in Bruins
wick yesterday investigating labor
conditions there, with the view of es-
tablishing a factory, should the out
look prove promising.
Enterprising and public-spirited citi-
zens, interested in the location of the
factory here, will meet the visitors
to-day, and there will be still further
discussion of the establishment OF the
plant. Mr.. II. NJ. Magic, construct
ing engineer for the company, will at
once begin his arrangements for the
work that is to be done to make the
second floor of the Guckenheimer
building reading for occupancy.
Progress is being made with the sub
scribers' lists. Practically all of the
subscribers have been seen, and few
have declined to become subscribers
under the new plan, which contem-
plates the use of the Guckenheimer
bnilding, instead of the erection of a
new structure. Not the slightest APP
prehension on the score of subscrip-
tions exists.
Mayor Myers was asked yesterday
if it had been settled just what per-
centage of the subscriptions would he
collected. He answered in the mega
tive, but said that the indications were
that ii would be about AZ per cent

ALMOST BLEDTO DEATH.
Marrow Escape of f. j. HasIam
From a Fatal HemOrrhage.

Mr.. E. j. Haslam narrowly escaped
bleeding to death yesterday. The
hemorrhage was due to treatment for
asthma, which he underwent. When
the flow Of blood could not be stopped
by ordinary methods. he was taken to
St. Joseph's Hospital, where an opera
ton was performed. At a late hour
last night he was reported as rest
ing quietly and doing as well as could
be expected.
Some years ago Mr.. Haslam was a
sufferer from asthma He placed HIM
self under the treatment of DIR. John
d. Page. who cured him. Not long
since there was a recurrence of the
disease, and again Mr.. Haslam sought
the services of DR.. Paige, who endea-
vored to again cure him by the same
methods.
Following the prescribed course of
treatment. Mr.. Haslam paid a visit to
the DOCTORS Office, about 9 o'clock
yesterday morning. There was then
hemorrhage but this was checked af-
ter slight loss of blood.
Mr.. Haslam left the office, but about
an hour later a summons came for the
doctor to attend Mr.. Haslam at Sulli-
vans grocery store, where he was
bleeding freely from the nose. The
doctor hurried to the store, carrying
an atomizer, and soon he checked the
flow. Not long after he had returned
to his office. however Mr.. Haslam ap-
- I. -, I III Cd
ing at the nose and at the mouth.
The usual methods of stopping a
hemorrhage were applied, but
without result. Finally there was a
resort to pressure upon the carotid
artery, this being maintained alter
nately by two of the patients friends.
After the pressure had been continued
for a long while, however, and then
removed, the flow started again, and it
was then seen that ligatures would
have to be placed upon the artery of
supply for that portion of the face.
This meant the summoning of sur
| geons. DR.. w. w. Owens and DIR. Will
liam Crawford were called. The police
ambulance was summoned, and Mr..
Haslam, then in a critical condition
| from loss of blood, was taken
to the hospital. There, an oper-
alton was performed. an incis-
/
! artery bound up. This checked the
flow of blood, and the patient began
| to mend.
1t was freely reported among Mr..
Haslams friends that the hemorrhage
| was due to the seVering of
an artery. This was not true.
No knife was used. No artery
could have been severed. for machine.
known as n punch, was used. A broad
surface was exposed and a hemor-
rhage occurred
DIR. Owens said that DIR. Paige
had used no knife, and that
there had been no artery sew
cred. As is sometimes the case with
a patient, he said. Mr.. Haslam's blood
was in such condition as to fail to
coagulate. and thus stop a hemorrhage
When all methods had been tried. just
as a physician or a surgeon would
have tried them before resorting to
the knife, assistance was called in.
Mr.. HaSlam DR.. Owens said, was
doing as well as could be expected. He
was weak from loss of blood. but there
was no reason to apprehend fatal re-
| suits.

Do Business Men Think of This.

The money that you spend away from
home never comes back any more"
Do business men think of this?
Take you, for instance. Have you
ever bought an article away from home
because it was a few cents cheaper
than you could get at home that you
did not feel that you were retarding
the growth of your city by injuring
the business of it's citizens?
1t saves little, if anything, to send
your orders away, or to buy your sup
plies away from home. Such a sys
tenn indirectly hurts you, no matter
who you are. And it works direct
harm to your fellow citizens, who have
taxes to pay, rent to pay, employees
to pay, and other charges to meet.
This applies to all lines of business,
but in this special advertisement it is
intended to refer to the thousands of
dollars worth of printing, Autograph
ing and blank book work which is
sent away every month by Savannah
business houses.
Think of it!
Thousands Of dollars worth going
to other printing houses in other cities
when there are more than a dozen
good ones here, able to 40 much more
work than they are doing if they had
1t to do.
The more work these concerns have
to do the more people they have to
employ, and these people. as a matter
of course, become buyers. They be-
come customers of the shoe houses,
the dry goods houses, the grocery
houses, the drug houses, and, indeed,
about all lines of business feel the
impetus which increased buyers give.
The Morning News printing, litho-
graphing, blank book and bindery is
one of the best in the country. 1t has
Autograph plant sufficiently large to
handle all of the work in Savannah.
And it will do it as we'll and as rea-
sonable as any reputable concern in
the United States.
The Morning News has striven to
give Savannah home plant. The
class of work turned out by it speaks
for itself.
If it is satisfactory, there is no real
reason why any of this work should
find its way to other cities. None
whatever.
Should business men encourage it?

THINKS IT WILL STAND.

Mr.. Charles ]. Heard, president of
the Mill-Haven Company, does not
think that the bill introduced by Rep
resentative Cam, touching the employ
ment of convicts within two miles of
the corporate limits of a city or town
in Georgia, will, if passed, be made re-
troactive. He was seen last night,
when he said that he does not believe
that the Legislature would pass bill
that would vitiate a contract into which
the state had entered relative to the
employment of it's convicts.
Some days ago the Morning News
published an interview, in which this
question of the constitutionality of such
a law was discussed. Mr.. Heard looks
to the state to permit the employment
of the cOnVictS.
