NO MORE LAWYERS FOR HIM.

Jasper News: A few days ago Har-
ry Tomlinson, a worthy colored citi-
zen of this town, applied to Judge
johnson for some legal advice. His
case was. that he had stood security
for Rev. Lockett, a colored preacher
for house rent to the amount of SIG,
and Lockett wouldn't pay it. The judge
says; We'll, Harry, is Lockett the
best MANI" mo, SIR" replied Harry,
I'm the best man." We'll, my advice
is, Harry" remarked the Judge, that
you go and give him a good, genteel
whipping" Harry departed and in
about an hour the news came down to
the business part of town that Harry
and Loo. kett had just had fight, and
that Lockett had just naturally eat
Harry up. The next morning the COM
batants were brought up before the
Mayor to answer to the charge Of
fighting when the Mayor inquired if
they wished to procure a lawyer to de-
fend them. NO, sir" replied Harry,
with an unmistakable earnestness in
his voice, mo, sir; just go right ahead;
I've had lawyers advice enough"

LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS OF
SHIPS AND SHIPPING.

The Outward Movement of Lumber
May BE Interrupted by Check in
Receipts From Interior Owing to
ups-ExceIIcnt Demand for the
YELLOW Pine at the North.
Lumber exporters are wondering
whether the floods and wet weather
in many sections of the interior that
ship to Savannah is to inconvenience
them in the loading of the large sail
ing fleet now in port and that to ar
rive Reports from the interior of
shut downs in some places are causing
some uneasiness, and further informa-
ton is being looked for with consid-
cradle interest.
In discussing conditions yesterday an
exporter said he believed there was
nearly enough stock here to load the
fleet in port. Unless this stock is
promptly replenished, however, he said
it is doubtful if the feet bound will
be gotten out on time. Not only have
mills in some sections temporarily
closed down. but the prospective short
age in shipments may also be due to
the interruption to freight traffic due
to washouts along the roads.
Seldom before in the history of the
port has the demand for lumber been
so satisfactory as at present The
mills are kept going at full time to
supply this demand, and exporters are
constantly chartering schooners to
transport the lumber to the North. The
demand is a steady one, and has been
a good one for some time past. Great
activity in building at the North calls
for an immense supply of the yellow
pine, and this is being filled from this
section, with Savannah getting her full
share of the business.
In connection with the active lum-
Der business the Philadelphia Record
says: Twenty-eight vessels are now
discharging lumber at this port. The
vessels brought yellow pine from the
South to be used to a great extent in
the wharf extensions now in progress
along the Delaware river. Their COM
bined cargoes, amounting to several
million feet. are being discharged at
wharves on the Schuylkill, as we'll as
the Delaware front.

DISCOVERED HIS OWN NAME.

A man at Villa Rica, 81 years of age,
has just learned that his real name
is not Sayers, but Townsend. His
mother died when he was six months
old and the father showed no inter-
est in the child. The grandparents be-
ing unable to care for it gave il TO a
man named Sayers. The boy grew up
under the name of Sayers. was known
as Sayers son. married under that
name and had his life insured as Say
ers. Recently he learned that he was
not Sayers' son, but could not ascer-
tain the name of his parents. John
Taylor, who had married half-sister
of Savers, heard of the circumstances
and began an investigation, which es-
tablished the relationship. Now
Townsend has abandoned the name of
Sayers and proposes to marry his wife
again under his proper name.

PINGnEE PLAN FOR ATLANTA.

Atlanta Constitution: Harry Schles-
niger has on foot a plan whereby he
hopes to make the vacant lots in and
around Atlanta garden spots for the
poor people of the city. Mr.. Schles-
myers plan is modelled after the IA
nous Pingree potato patches of Mich
igan. but is none the less interesting
because of the fact that it lacks alb
solute originality. In fact, the very
success of the first step in this prac-
teal field of philanthropy would seem
TO presage success for the Atlanta
movement. Mr.. Schlesinger has al
ready made a practical beginning by
allowing a man to cultivate some va
cant land of his which he does not
care to sell or build upon at present.
He now proposes to interest others
who have property of this kind. Mr..
Schlesinger not only proposes to find
men who will cultivate these patches,
but to furnish the seed, and in addi-
ton he guarantees the cultivator
against loss in case the owner of the
land should require it for his own pur-
pose.

Opinions of shippers and of railway

vary considerably. Representatives Of the
contracting departments say that the adj
vance will be after acknowledged stand
ards regulating tariffs. Rates will be ad
vanced on several lines Of goods where
the trade will stand it.. Nothing is to be
done which will have a harmful effect on
any one locality or on any particular line
of business. The restoration Of the ], 100
or more tariffs was an understood matter
as the limitation of the tariffs now exist
ing were stamped on the tariff sheets.
On the other hand several of the ship
pers are afraid they are going to be hit
rather hard Some of the big firms as
sert that they are paying large additional
sums for freight on account of the ad
vances made of late They profess to be-
lieve that the roads are getting closer to-
gether continually and that they have
such an understanding that the people
will have to pay even higher rates than
at the present time along all lines when
the lines were more independent they
were glad to carry the business at much
lower rates than now obtain.
