cowboy. who fiourished a big pistol
and required every one to register.
Each arrival then was given his
claim" which was numbered. and was
directed to find the corresponding
number which was his partner. Each.
also was provided with a big bag Of
tin money.
Tents were arranged in the rooms in
which various games We're played The
house was decorated with numerous
placards bearing amusing inscriptions
and one Of the features Of the evening
was the side show" the drawing card
Of which was a hairless and tailless
horse. 1t really was there-a little toy
horse.
Refreshments were served in accord
ance with the rest of the affair. They
consisted Of big pickles. pop corn, mo-
lasses candy, ginger cake. lemonade
etc. the latter being served in an inn

BROKE BOTH WRISTS.

Leslie sutton Thrown From His BIZ
cycle Against a Telegraph Pole.
Leslie Sutton, a 13-year-old lad, was
thrown from his bicycle at Whitaker
and Bolton streets last night and
struck against a telegraph pole, break
ing both of his wrists. The bone of one
wrist protruded through the flesh. The
other wrist was broken almost square
off.
Young Sutton and a companion were
riding out Whitaker street on the pa
rade ground walk, and We're going
rapidly. Sutton's wheel, it is supposed,
struck a stone, swerving and throwing
him some distance. HeNstruck square
ly against pole. The swapping of his
wrist bones caused him to shrek with
pain, and a number of people ran to
his assistance. He was picked up and
taken into a house nearby where DR..

wounds. Later he was taken y his
home, No. "a Castor street, west, and

there is a possibility that he will be
crippled for life.

JABBED IN THE SHOULDER.
Rachel Smite Arrested for Stabbing
Clementina Small.

The Saturday night quiet of Yama-
craw was disturbed last night by
stabbing ARRAY in which the principals
were Rachel Smite and Clementina
Small. The women managed to get up
a controversy as to the possession of
a man and Rachel cut Clementina in
the shoulder and back.
There seems to have been little prov
ocation for the cutting other than the
mutual abuse the women heaped upon
each other, but Rachel thought this
was provocatiOn enough. She inflicted
the wounds with a knife. which she
used with lusty good will and with
which she would probably have infiict-
ed more serious injuries had the by
ISLANDERS permitted. AS it is the
wounds in Clementina's shoulder and
back. while ugly and painful. are not
particularly dangerous and the woman
was able to come to the barracks to
register her complaint.
The Smite woman was picked up by
Patrolman Fogarty shortly after the
commission of the assault. The police
man had to fight his way through a
dense crowd to get to the scene, as the
curiosity seekers of the neighborhood
had flocked in numbers and with tu
multuous enthusiasm to the spot where
the row was in progress.

THE GROWING COTTON.
Mr.. Dickinson Says Farmers Have
Never Been More Encouraged.

Mr.. Dickinson Says Farmers Have
Never Been More Encouraged.
Mr.. Gardner E. Dickinson returned
yesterday from a trip through the cot
ton growing section of Georgia with
very favorable reports of the condition
of the crop Mr.. Dickinson is about as
we'll posted as to the cultivation of the
cotton plant as many of the farmers
themselves, and is therefore able to
judge it's condition from It's appear
ance. He states that all the fields>he
saw appeared green, with the plant
well under way and under excellent
cultivation.
Never before have the farmers of
Georgia been so encouraged at this sea-
son as they are now Realizing that
their prospects are good, they are de-
voting themselves to the cultivation of
their crops. All are Industrious. There
is every reason for them to work for
the great prosperity at present gives
farmers reason for believing that every
thing they raise will be in demand at
fair prices.
1T was noticeable that at none of
the stations were farmers congregated
about to watch the trains pass" said
Mr.. Dickinson. Instead of crowds
loaflng about the stations men are to
be seen in the fields. Around the stores
few persons are to be seen during work
hours. Why, sir, one store may be
taken as an example where the clerk
at the soda fountain was surrounded
only by a bevy of pretty village girls
Not only farmers. but merchants as
well, have fine prospects for good bust
ness"

Only one person in every hundred

you are going TO reach this age-IF-
Pneumonia only gives three or four
days notice. How are your financial
affairs?
In the year 1890 Ss.57s people died of
malaria and cancer. They were all
going to live to be 20 years of age
BUT
In 1890 S72, people died of various
causes. Just think of what the under
takers bills must have been, figured
at $50 each-$43, GA, 10000. The families
of these people didn't mind these bills
IF
Some of these people carried the
right kind of life insurance which paid
for their funeral expenses and left
something over for their families. If
they had lived to old age Gas, of
course, you are going to do), they
could have drawn the cash themselves.
OF course, we know you are going
to take some good life insurance some
day. The cemetery is full of these
going to" people.
Don't procrastinate. Examine pol
icy in the Massachusetts Mutual Life

dividends, makes liberal loans for

NEED FOR AUDITORIUM.
Is Not Denied by Those Who Have
studied the Conditions.

Is MOI DCnied by IhOse VINO nave
studied the Conditions.
IAN auditorium is needed by Savan-
nah," said Mayor Myers yesterday,
but I question whether one would
prove a dividend-maker. In my opin-
ion, if an auditorium is built, it will be
through the public spirit of men who
are willing to subscribe to a fund. They
can hardly hope Tor a profit upon their
investment and their subscriptions
would really be only for the benefit of
the city / do not consider that the de-
mands for an auditorium would be
sufficiently frequent to make it yield a
dividend"
Col. J. II. Estin has been active in
more than one effort to secure an aud
itorium for Savannah, but these move
ments have never resulted in the cree
ton of such a building. He still
hopes, however, that a movement may
be started that will not meet the fate
Of its predecessors.
MANY cities the size of Savannah,
and some that are smaller" said Col.
Estill, have auditoriums, and Savan-
nah needs one. The Southern Baptist
Convention that is to be held here
shows the need for such a building. /
believe that an auditorium could be
made a profitable investment"

BOOKS TO CLOSE TUESDAY.
But Tax Receiver Baker May Open
supplementary List.

The books of the receiver of tax re-
turns of Chatham county, in accord
ance with instructions from state
headquarters, the office of the Con-
troller General, will close on Tuesday,
June II. 1t is possible, though not
certain, that Tax Receiver Baker will
open a supplementary list for those
who have been delinquent in their
returns to this date.
The delinquent tax list is relatively
small this year, most of the taxpayers
seeming to have been impressed with
the fact that it was wise to make their
returns within the time allowed by
law. Those who do not file their re-
turns by Tuesday are liable to a dou-
BILE tax.
1t has always been the practice of
the present tax collector, however, to
oblige the general public as much as
possible, and if it can be done it is not
unlikely that a supplementary list will
be opened, and kept open for a short
time. 1t is probable that returns for
nine-tenths of the property in the
county have already been made.

ESCAPED FROM THE GUARD.
Mary Spencer Gets Away between
Court House and Jail.

Court House and Jail.
An amusing incident furnished the
piece de resistance of the aftermath Of
Fridays session of the City Court. A
number of criminals had been tried,
found guilty and were on their way to
the Jail, when one of them, Mary
Spencer, managed TO make her escape.
The escape was one of the most clev-
erly executed tricks of which the po-
lice annals afford any recollection.
There was a long line of prisoners ap-
preaching the jail and as that struc-
ture was neared the woman asked
Emanuel Green, the colored bailiff who
had charge of the rear guard, to per-
nit her to go to the front and speak
to Deputy Sheriff Charles Carroll.
The permission was granted as a
matter of course, and Mary chased up
TO the head of the line. AS she did so
she ducked under the staircase of the
Jail entrance and succeeded in remain
ing hidden from view until after the
procession had passed. The procession
passed, she chased out just as cleverly
and made good her escape.
The woman had been sentenced to
serve twelve months on the gang for
cutting not in her own defense, and
there was no chance for her to get out
of it. Her counsel, Mr.. R. L. Colding.
had done everything in the power If
man to get her out the scrape, but alb
solutely without avail
Mr.. Colding, speaking about the cur
rent view of the situation Yesterday,
expressed the general opinion when he
said: She's a lots better lawyer than
l am. couldn't get her out of that
scrape and she could"
County and city officers were looking
for the woman all of yesterday, but
without success. The indications point
to the conclusion that she has made
good her escape.
