to the extent of the governors author-
ty in refusing to issue a commission
to a county officer. duly elected. says
the Little Rock Gazette. The case is
one which has already excited much
public interest. The office in ques-
ton is the county judgeship of Polk
county, to which Judge J. NJ Ander-
son was elected in September Only
short time ago Judge Anderson was
indicted for msfeasance in office in
neglecting to cWerloo.. the books of
County Treasurer Davis in July, in
which was discovered "a discrepancy of
some ST., 900. The offense is denOmi-
mated in the digest of misdemeanor
in ilite and another section fixes
the punishment at not mcTe than $500.
Judge Anderson was tried few days
ago and found guilty, though the jury
that convicted him Immediately on
leaving the box signed a petition to
Gov. Davis to pardon him, c1' re-
lease him from the fine. There is no
record at the state house Of any par

Judge Anderson was elected county
judge and Circuit Clerk Davis of PeIk
county was written by Secretary of
State John W. Crockett that the gov
ernOr had refused TO issue a commits
sion to Judge Anderson. He inclosed
the fee c.f So for the commission.
Col. Murphy, When asked about the
matter yesterday, said:
Il do not believe that the governor
has the authority to refuse to issue
a commission for an officer VIII. has
been duly elected by the people. At
least that is the stand that take in
the matter with my present knowledge

thoroughly. and. of course there is a

change. Now. however, | believe that
the governor has oversteppcd the
bounds of his authority.

A severe thunder shower, during
which nearly an inch of rain fell, Wis
tied Savannah about o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and for the time being, eff
fectually broke the back bone of the
hot wave which has made things so I'M
comfortable in this city for week.
Shortly after noon it looked very
much as if another very hot afternoon
was going to make the residents of
this city miserable, and the mercury
had reached 9S degrees. It looked as if
the 100-mark would again be passed.
Heavy clouds began to gather, how
ever, and the temperature fell rapidly.
At 3 o'clock the rain was coming down
in torrents and the mercury had fallen
to II degrees.
The low temperature lasted for sew
eral hours, but towards evening the
mercury began to rise and at o'clock
it was at 80 degrees. No hotter weather
was recorded than this after the thun-
der storm.
Thunder showers, with cooler wealth
er, are predicted for to-day, and it is
believed that Savannah will have good
weather from now on.

breeze met the artificial one of an

Though injured by his work to with

heat that preceded the storm.
He was almost overcome, and for an
hour he was fearful that the effects
might prove serious. The attack came
at about o'clock, when he was work
ing in his boat on the river He was
able to make his way to his shop, and
after two hours recovered.
The industry which has been most
benefited by the hot wave has been
that of the soda water man. The alIur-
ing limeade, ice cream soda and other
soft drinks have reached an unprece-
denied sale during the hot weather At

been confined to the soda fountain
The palatable mint julep, the insidious
lime punch and the subtle high ball
have been more popular in Savannah
during the past few days than ever
before. Ice cream and all kinds of

The Oglethorpe Light Infantry has
determined to go to New Orleans next
spring, when the reunion of the Con-
federate Veterans is held. The es-
cort of the company will be rendered
the Confederate Veterans Associa-
ton.
For some time the Oglethorpes have
been considering this trip, and a
committee has had the ways and
means under advisement. 1t made
it's report to the company. and the
recommendations made will be fol-
lowed. Private Dietz Clarke was
chairman of the committee.
One of the provisions of the report
requires that each member of the
company contribute to the expense of
the trip in monthly installments. and
Private Clarke was appointed to
make the collections. Deep interest
in the prospective trip is shown by
the members, and it is believed that
the Oglethorpes will go with full
ranks.
Supplementary funds will be raised
for trip by various means. One will be
a picnic at Tybee Island, which will be
held on Tuesday night, July 30. On
that night Mr.. Charles F. Graham will
have one of his big balls at Hotel Ty-
bee, and the attendance will doubtless
be increased by the efforts of the
Oglethorpes in the sale of tickets. Capt.
D. c. Barrow is chairman of the picnic
committee.

WANTED TO SHAKE HANDS.
Permit to Do That Was All an Old
COIOred Man Wanted.

You see we have all kinds of peo-
pie with whom to DEAL remarked
Mayor Myers yesterday to a repre-
sentative of the Morning News, who,
with others, overheard a conversat ton
between the Mayor and an old colored
man that took place in the anteroom
of the Mayors office. What you
have just heard is an example of some
of the queer requests and petitions we
receive"
The old man wanted to exercise an
alleged talent of magic healing. He
claims to be able, by simple laying
on of his hands, to cure disease. He
says he is especially fine on boils and
skin eruptions, and he believed that
permit from the Mayor would enable
him to reap silver harvest from his
ministrations to the people of both
races who might be present-day Jobs.
"AH have to do. your honor" he
pleaded, lis to shake hands with an
afflicted man, and he is all right again.
When l touch him all his corruption
passes away. That's all l want to do,
just shake hands with him. You amt
goin' to make me take out permit to
jess shake hands with people?"
Mayor Myers replied that there were
uhANCAAllB pei SOiIS WIZ WOtAQ AlOl LGol-
tate to pronounce his methods quack-
cry, and the old man had to admit
that was true. He claimed, though,
as he uses no medicine at ALL he is
exempt from paying a license. For that
matter however, it seems that he
could not operate under a license.
You are an ordained minister" the
Mayor asked, and of course the old
man was. well, you are not an or
dained' DOCTOR" said the Mayor, land
l guess you had better not try any
practicing about the Streets"
The old man said he was from
Waynesboro, in Burke county, and
recommend" he displayed bore wit
ness to this fact. 1t was signed by
county officers of Burke and testified
to the good character of N. McCul-
Tough. who was described as having
been of great service among his own
people and one who, by his walk and
his life deserved well of everybody.
The old man wanted to obtain sub
ject at the City Exchange on whom
he might demonstrate his power. He
was ready to open up free clinic for
the benefit of the advertising he would
get out of it, he declared, but nobody
seemed to have any ailments to SUBJ
nit to his touch. His parting word
was that he was stopping over by the
market, and that he hoped any of the
gentlemen who had any afflicted
friends would send them around to
see him.

IS AHEAD ON PEACHES.
Central Has Moved More Than Last
Year I'D to This Time.

Central Has Moved More Than Last
Year I'D to This Time.
"The Central Railway is ahead so
far in the movement of the peach crop.
1t has moved more peaches up to date
than it had up to July last year. We
look for a good crop"
President John NJ. Egan of the Cen
trail made that statement yesterday.
He said that the movement of the Ell
berta, the queen of the Georgia or
chards, has not yet begun in great
quantity, and that it will probably be
the latter part of the week before it
opens strong.
A peach to which Mr.. Egan is look
ing forward to share the reign of the
Elberta is the Emma, which he calls
the Elberta's sister peach. He consid-
ers the Emma an even finer peach than
the Elberta, saying that it is of a finer
grain and flavor. 1t ripens later than
the alberta, and will mean the con-
tinuation of good peach on the mar
ket when the alberta has ripened and
disappeared.
Mr.. Egan left last night for trip
over the line. He will visit the north
west section of the state,

NOTHING BEING DONE NOW.
Free Library scheme Sleeping and

may he taken Up Later.
There seems to be no active work
in progress for the free library in Sa-
vannah. The scheme fathered by
Capt. Cunningham, Mr.. George j.
Baldwin and others, to start the public
library by securing subscriptions of
500 apiece from twenty-five public
spirited citizens of Savannah seems,
if not dead, to be gradually dying a
natural death.
Capt. Cunningham sent out a cir
cular letter to numerous Savannah
men and from the total number TO
whom the letter was sent secured six
teen offers to contribute 800 to the or
ganization of a free library. This
was manifestly encourag ing, but no
additional offer has since been receiv-
ed. 1t is believed that the number
of contributors could be materially in
creased through the agency of personal
solicitation.
The need for a free library in Sa-
vannah has earnestly commended it
self to the minds of many of the citys
best people and it is believed that If
they We're urged to lend financial aid
to the project they could readily be
prevailed upon to give their consent
and their money. A state of quietude,
which nobody seems to be disposed to
take the lead in breaking up is seem
ingly resulting in the virtual abandon
ment of a plan that promised great
good to the city.

CITY COURT TO MOVE.

Will Probably Hold Sessions in U. S.
Circuit Court Room.
If Judge Speer will permit it, as he
probably will, sessions of the City
Court of Savannah will be held for
some time in the United States Circuit
Court room, in the government build
ing across the street. The transferred
sessions will begin as soon as the
painters begin operations in the City
Court room.
Their descent upon his court room is
regarded as imminent and yesterday
Judge Norwood appointed a commit
tee, consisting of Messrs. p w Mel
drim, George w. Owens and Walter G..
Charlton, to request of fudge Speer the
use of the United States Circuit Court
room during the time the City Court
room is in possession of the painters.
The application will be made at once
and it is regarded as altogether likely
that Judge Speer will promptly accede
to the request of the committee. When
the request is granted the officers of
the court for the time that it is in
session, will move acros sthe square.
