An ad interim appointment to the
office of justice of the peace of the
Fifth District was made by the Com
missioners, Bernard Hesling being
named. The vacancy in the office
was created by the recent death of O.
C. Butler. The appointee of the COM
missioners was highly recommended
for the Office by a number of the res
idents of his district and others. He
will serve until an election is held
and the successful candidate at this
election has qualified to discharge the
duties of the office.
A communication from a committee
of the Evangelical Ministers Union of
the city was read at the meeting. The
union is the organization of the pastors
of the colored churches. The commu-
nication had reference to the reform
atory and urged the commissioners to
call an election to settle the question.
AS this has already been lone the
commissioners simply received the
communication as information.
The special presentment of the grand
jury, asking that the commissioners
offer a reward for the apprehension of
the murders of Michael Shrenk and
Jake Carter and Dover Fountain, was
also received as information. Acting
on the advice of the county attorney
the commissioners decided they could
not legally use the funds of the county
for the purpose of rewarding persons
effecting the arrest of criminals.

IF PENNSYLVANIA GET 1T.
That Fate of the Plant System win
BE No Surprise.

That Fate of the Plant System VIII
Be No Surprise.
The announcement in the Morning
News dispatches yesterday that the
Pennsylvania Railroad might be be-
hind the Atlantic Coast Line in it's ac-
QUESTION of the Plant System, created
little surprise. When following upon
the heels of a notice of big railway
deal, it takes sensation to really sur
prise any one.
The general comment among business
men indicated a readiness to believe
that it may be the Pennsylvania that
has secured the Plant System. Sew
eral business men, in discussing the
matter said they have always been of
the opinion that the Pennsylvania is
deeply interested in Atlantic Coast
Line holdings, and the announcement
of the probability of the Pennsylvania
really getting the Plant System chimes
in accord with their ideas.
1t is generally held that 1t would be
a good thing for Savannah if such
were the case. The Pennsylvania is
the wealthiest railroad in the United
States, possibly in the world. 1t is
magnificent in it's equipment, and it is
held that it tends to great betterment
and advancement of every place it
touches.
A meeting of the directors of the
Savannah, Florida and Western Rail-
way was held in New York yesterday,
but dispatches to the Morning News
stated that nothing was given out as
to their action.

PLACE FOR THE BUSTS.
A Veteran Who Wants Them In
OgIethorpe Avenue.

Veteran Who Wants Them In
OgIethorpe Avenue.
Editor Morning News: 1t is gener-
ally understood that visitors to For
syth Place are not expected to invade
the grass plats or flower beds. They
are supposed to keep in the walks.
Why then locate the heroes busts
where they cannot be readily inspected
and the Inscriptions easily read?
Forsyth Place does not need addit-
ional attractions. In time the trees
and shrubbery will hide or obscure
these monuments. Put them some
where in the open, easily approached
from all sides, and very conspicuous
even as the lives and deeds of the men
they represent.
Commonwealth avenue in Boston is
a wide street, asphalted, with double
row of trees through the middle, SINH
lar to our Oglethorpe avenue. Under
this avenue of trees, upon the hand
some lawn, along its entire length are
monuments to the heroes of several
wars. What more appropriate place
could we select for these monuments
than one each in the middle of the
lawns on Oglethorpe avenue from
Drayton to Bull and Bull to Whitaker.
These could be added to from time to
time until every block would have a
monument.
There seems to the writer to be no
places in Forsyth Park adapted to this
use. These are the views of at least
One Veteran.

THE CHILDREN, HEAVEN
BLESS THEM F.!
Are They FTail, Restless, and
Nervous?
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
Will Make Them Vigorous, Healthy,
Bright and Happy.

AS a rule, parents are to blame if
their children are puny, weak, nervous,
and irritable. The little ones may be
well clothed and fed, yet still be sadly
neglected from a physical point of
view.
1t should be remembered that the
children inherit many of the troubles
that parents suffer from. Thousands
of little ones are subjects of nerve
troubles, a condition inherited from
father or mother. This nervous condi-
ton begets irritableness, bad temper,
headache, Indigestion, and stomach de-
engagements. Such children need the
best and most intelligent care, or they
will grow up in misery and disease.
Give the little ones Paine's Celery
Compound for the next few weeks, and
note well its terrifying effect on the
nervous system; watch the growth in
muscle and flesh.
Thousands of thankful letters have
been received from glad fathers and
mothers who have had their dear ones
perfectly restored to health and
strength by Paine's Celery Compound.
Mr.. j. p. Surface, Bluefield, w. Va,
deems it necessary to give testimony
in favor of Paine's Celery Compound
His little son was nervous, and in. "a
dangerous condition from heart
trouble. DIR. Phelps marvellous pre-
scription was used, and the little fell
lows health is now satisfactory Mr.
Surface writes thus: up to- the time
our little boy commenced to take
Paine's Celery Compound, he had
heart trouble. Every night after going
to bed, he would have nervous spells,
and could not get his breath, and did
not know what he was doing In six
weeks that he has been using Paine's
Celery Compound, he has wonderfully
improved in health and strength"

more nutriment for farm animals and
at less cost than any crop planted in
the South. The nitrogen drawn from
the atmosphere and stored in the roots,
stems and leaves will steadily improve
the soils and contribute largely to
succeeding crops. The bean is so pro-
tected by it's natural covering, that
gathering or housing is unnecessary.
Farm animals may be pastured in the
fields and will gather the crop. Very
poor or barren soils viii produce fair
crops of this bean, but. of course, bet
ter soils, as with all crops, will give
a more abundant harvest. The bean
fed to animals, because of its richness
in nitrogen, furnishes the protein re-
quired for rapid growth and good
health.
Corn should be planted with these
beans in order to furnish support for
the vines, as much better crops are OBJ
tanned where the vines are lifted above
the surface so as to permit a free cir
culation about them, otherwise a large
percentage of the growing beans will
decay and fall off. These beans should
be planted in rows five feet apart and
about nine inches apart in the drill.
Three or four civilizations will suffice.
Some farmers assert that a small ridge
of unbroken land should be left between
the rows, and weeds OF any klnd &c
allowed to grow upon it, and in this
way, support for the vines is obtained,
in which case no corn is planted with
the beans. Good results have been OBJ
tanned in this way, but I have no data
upon which to base a comparative
statement of yield under the two
methods.
PLANT velvet beans-plant literally,
and you will be amply compensated by
the improvement in your lands and
farm animals"

HER CONDITION SERIOUS.
Cut On Temple May Cause Death
of Martha Washington.


of Martha Washington.
Because Martha Washington was I'M
able to appear in Police Court yester-
day the case against Evelina Nathans,
colored, was continued by Recorder
Myrick. The 12-year-old prisoner may
have to answer a. charge of murder.
The Washington girl was seriously
cut in the left temple with broken
glass bottle and may die. Her con-
dition is regarded as quite serious, and
while the wound is not necessarily ia
tai she is by no means out of dam
ger. Detective Stark, who made the
arrest, and a large array of witnesses,
were in court when the case was
called, but no testimony was heard
because of the condition of the girl.
The youthful prisoner claims that she
acted in self defense, and her state
ment is borne out by that of her sis
ter, who is alleged to have witnessed
the ARRAY.

HIS PLEA SELF-DEFENSE.
BOOKER BROUGHT BACK FROM
MACON TO ANSWER FOR MURDER.

Claims That He Thought Williams
Was Going to Shoot Him When He
Threw the Brick-The Quarrel Be-
tween the Men over Trivial Mat
fer-BooI1er Did Not Know Will
Jams Was Dead Until He Was Ar
rested.
SeIf-defense is the plea advanced by
James Booker, charged by the coro-
ner's jury with the murder of John
Williams in Broughton street lane, in
the rear of the Marshall House. The
prisoner arrived in the city last night
from Macon in the custody of Detec-
tive Murphy.
Booker says that he believed when
he threw the brick that fractured Will
liams' skull that he was about to be
shot, and only threw it when he be-
lieved his life was in danger. He left
on the night train for his old home
and had no idea that Williams was
dead until he was placed under arrest
by an officer in Macon. Booker, how
ever, would have learned of Williams
death in a very short while. He re-
ceived a letter shortly after being
placed in custody and the writer in
formed him that the blow he admin
istered had terminated fatally, and
that the officers were searching for
him.
The homicide was the result of a
trivial argument, according to the
story told by the prisoner. He says
that he and Williams were at one time
employed in the Marshall House, and
that they were discussing their days
in the hotel in Carson's stables, when
the quarrel was begun. Booker says
that Williams was Dragging about his
physical ability and recalled that he
had several times worsted Booker in
encounters in the kitchen of the Mar
shall House. According to the pris-
oner, Williams was rubbing it in
pretty hard and he announced that
things had changed, and that if at one
time Williams was his physical supe-
rior that day had passed.
Williams contended that he was still
the better man and both became an
CRY, using more or less profane lam
guage. The alleged murderer says
that both were ordered out of the sta
bles and that he went into the lane.
Williams, he Riys, went into a little
house in the lane and came outside
with his hand in his pocket Booker
claims that he thought Williams had
secured a revolver, and that he picked
up a brick. He says that Williams
was advancing upon him, and that
when within few feet he threw the
brick. He left before he ascertained how
serious the wound was, but remem-
bered seeing Williams walking away
after the blow was administered.
The negro says that while he feared
that he would be arrested for the as
sault he would have never left the
city had he known that Williams had
heen fatally injured. He was as
founded, he says, when the Macon Off
Ger arrested him on the telegram from
Supt. Reilly. Detective Murphy had
no trouble with his prisoner, and
lodged him in the police station house.
He will be committed to Jail this morn
ing by Coroner Keller.

sLUGGER FOUGHT PATROLMAN.
Young White Man Was Arrested
for Destroying Fruit.


For wantonly destroying the fruit of
Stratus Christopher, creating disorder
on the street and resisting Patrolman
Harrison at an early hour yesterday
morning, Thomas Flanagan, a young,
shining light in pugilistic circles, was
arraigned before Recorder Myrick in
Police Court yesterday.
Complaint has been made to the po-
lice that there is a band of young men
who during the early morning hours,
while partially under the influence of
liquor, visit the Greek fruit dealers
and frequently make the establish
ments appear as if a cyclone had
struck them. 1t is charged that Flani-
gan is a member of the unnamed
crowd. The charge upon which he was
arraigned yesterday was made out in
the opinion of the Recorder and the
defendant was fined $25 or thirty days.
He was also remanded for trial in the
City Court on a charge of malicious
mischief.
