President Lawrence Advised March,
ing Club About Political Enemies.
Beyond the hope of the most san
guine was the growth of the Citizens
Marching Club from its organization
two weeks ago until the meeting in
the Whitfield building last night when
a total membership of 1877 was an
nounced by President Lawrence. The
meeting was largely attended, and
when the size of the new club was
announced the crowd cheered Justify.
Because of the remarkable growth of
the Marching Club 1t was decided to
increase the Board of Directors from
"a to 100, and a committee of ten will
be named by the president to agree on
the additional directors. 1t is prob
able that the next meeting will be held
in the clubs own quarters on the sec
ond floor of the Whitfield building, and
the officers say that at that time there
will be a total membership of not less
than 1000. 1t is expected that the
strength of the new political organiza-
ton will reach 5000 before the trip TO
Atlanta in June is made.
There was plenty of enthusiasm. Ad-
dresses were made by Col. Robert L.
Co1ding, ]. NJ. Thomas, Esq, w. H

| ny, Harder Master James Mcbride and
President Lawrence. In substance the

their activity. 1t was pointed out that
it is wise to be prepared at all times

| ever the enemy shows his head he
| should be dealt a blow with a sledge

MAYORS GOLD BRICK
CAME FROM IDAHO AND VALUED
AT $1,1sO.
NOT A GREEN GOODS BRICK
BUT THE REAL YELLOW STUFF
FROM THE MAYORS NINE.

DinEy Looking Little Lump
Weighing Fifty-nine Ounces,
Computed at $50 an Ounce-TeIIer
Abrah8ms of the Savannah Ma
tionaI Bank Using 1t Paper
Weigbt-Many People Guessed at
Its Value, but Few Came Near 1t.
Nicely done up and marked valua-
bic, or something very much like it.
Mayor Herman Myers received a gold
brick yesterday morning. 1t did not
go to him as Mayor of Savannah, or
as president of the National Bank, or
as an officer in any of a half dozen
corporations, but to Mr.. Myers, part
owner in an Idaho gold mine. 1t was
a real gold brick and there was no
game" about it. The metal had been
taken out of one of Mr.. Myers mines
and was sent him as a sample.
The gold brick attracted no little
attention at the bank during the
morning. Mr.. Myers put it in the
keeping of Teller Abrams and that of
ficer of the National Bank used it as
paper weight. 1t was shown to those
who had occasion to go to the teller s
window, and many guesses were made
as to it's market value. Few came near
the mark, however. The dingy looking
little brick didn't appear to be worth
anywhere near $1,1S0, yet it weighs
just fifty-nine ounces, and is valued at
$40 an ounce. Many of the friends of
Mp. Myers and of his bank, toyed with
the ordinary looking brick without
dreaming how much money they were
holding. The shock, when they were
acquainted with its value, caused
some of these non-experts to drop the
block of precious metal.
Mayor Myers, his brother, w. ].
Paine of Richmond and Mr.. Stewart
of Idaho own twelve mines. Work has
just been started on the Silver King
mine and the metal sent to Mr.. Myers
is the first that was taken out. None
of the other mines have yet been de-
veloped and the machinery is just be-
ing put up in the Silver King mine
The mines will be worked by the four
gentlemen named and no stock COM
pany will be formed. Mr.. Myers ex-
poets that that the Silver King mine
will pan out big for it's owners. The
eleven other mines are unknown
quantities as yet, but will be developed
later.

BILL HILLS IN
TROUBLE OVER CHILD.
Woman Claiming to be Mother Says
He Abducted the Little One.

Woman Claiming to be Mother Says
He Abducted the Little One.
William Henry Hills, popularity
known as Bill Hills, is in trouble. Es-
teT1e Bartlett, who once liked him, but
between whom no love now Is lost, had
writ of habeas corpus issued against
him yesterday, in which he is ordered
by the court to produce the body of
one Alice Hills, a little girl Of two
and a half years, on Tuesday next.
The applicant for the writ sets forth
that she is the mother of the child.
and that Hills is holding it under
claim of parentage, which, she alleges.
is unfounded.
An interesting scene was enacted in
the sheriff's Office yesterday when, I'M
der the order of the court, the little one
was arrested and taken in charge by
the sheriff. Both Hills and the, moth
er of the child were present. AS be-
tween the two, the little one seemed
to hold scant preference. going from
one to the other, and calling them re-
spectively papa and mamma. Sheriff
Schwarz was in quandry as to what
disposition to make of the innocent
little bone of contention.
1t was finally determined to send the
child to the Kings Daughters Nurs-
cry. Both of the parties to the pro-
ceeding were granted permission by
the sheriff to visit the child once a
day, provided the rules of the institu-
ton would so allow. The child was
taken to the nursery by Deputy Sher-
if Meldrim. She is an exceptionally
bright little one, and seems much at
tached to those whom she calls papa
and mamma.
In her application for a writ of ha-
beas corpus Estelle Bartlett alleges
that on Christmas Eve Hills came to
her house during her absence in a state
of intoxication and forcibly abducted
the child, taking it TO house on Ogle-
thorpe avenue, east, where 1t remained
for two weeks. Subsequently, she says,
he took the little one to No. PIT Hull
street, west, where it has since remain
ed, as the applicant alleges, under i'm
moral surroundings. She says that he
is not fit person to whom to entrust
the care of the child, and that he has
no visible means of support.
The arrest of the child followed the
presentation of an affidavit to the eff
feet that the alleged mother feared,
that unless the sheriff took the little
one in charge she would be removed by
the defendant. The applicant is repre-
sented by Edmund H Abrahams
