WHAT SAVANNAH is WORTH
IN DOLLARS AND CENTS
Government Expert Now Invoicing City's Pos
sessions

Mrs. Griffin, in substance, said that
some time during the day, while she
and her husband.were on the porch, she
saw "old Tom Jackson" coming, and
remarked to Griffin that she wondered
what he wanted; that Tom came up
and called Griffin out and asked him
to go down to the swamp and look at
some tracks that were troubling him;
that late that evening, about dark,
after John Griffin had returned from
town, they were sitting in their room.
John Griffin had just told her of hiring
a big black negro in town to do some
work for him. and that she had better
save supper for him. About this time
she looked in the direction of the win
dow, through which the shooting oc-
CURED, and saw on the outside, with
gun in his hands, a, negro man. Be-
fore she could speak to warn her hus-
band of the danger, the report of the
gun sounded and John Griffin fell from
his chair.
Immediately thereafter and before she
had time to do anything, the second
shot was fired. She ran out of the
house, and at the back steps met the
man, who grabbed her and warned her
against making any noise. She begged
for life and ran to a nearby negro
cabin for help and protection.
The rest of the day will be consumed
in taking evidence for the defense.

HAGGIN SAYS WATERBOY
WILL NOT DODGE McCHESNEY

John B. Haggip, owner of the crack
Eastern, three year-old Waterboy, has
been goaded almost to desperation be-
cause he has seemingly avoided a meet
ing between his horse, and McChesney,
the champion of the West.
In long article published in the New
York Morning Telegraph some
days ago Mr.. Haggin was call
ed on in the name of sport
to agree to an arrangement for
these two idols of the turf world to try
conclusions. Mr.. Smathers, owner of
McChesney, was referred to as the lit
tie boy walking around with chip on
his shoulder, and Mr.. Haggin was call
ed on to knock it off. Mr.. Haggin,
however has upheld Jack Joyner in his
attitude of avoiding a match making
in violation of the rules of the jockey
clubs, and persists that if the meeting
of the two horses comes up naturally

Eatonton, Ga, Sept. 24.-In the case
of the state against Mrs. Lizzie Crit
fin and Sam Knowles, charged with
murder Judge Lewis announced at the
hour for adjournment yesterday even
ing that after supper the trial would
continue into the night. When the
court convened, however, it was an
nounced that Charles n. Horne, one
of the jurors in the case. was too I'M
we'll to discharge the duties. In con-
sequence a recess was declared until
this morning at o'clock.
At 10 o'clock this morning the state
rested it's case and the defense began
the investigation of its witness.
Statements from Sam. Knowles and
Mrs. Griffin were offered. Sans was
very brief, and in substance, that after
returning home from work he went to
the lot and fed the stock. While there
his mother called him to supper. After
eating he retired to another Fart of
the house, where, with the rest of the
family, he remained until Hulon
Knowles, his brother, who had just
returned with party from fishing,
came in and announced the killing.

Notes from Triton.
Triton, Ca, Sept. 24.-Hon. Thomas
B. Young has sold his Waterloo plan
tation in Irwin county to Mr.. Thomas
Y. Fletcher This is one of the fin-
est farms in South Georgia, containing
about 1000 acres, all in high state
of cultivation. Many portions of it
have produced fifty bushels of corn or
a bale of cotton to the acre. The pur-
chase price is said to have been $13, 000
Arnold Bryant, colored, was convicted
of enticing hands out of the state un-
der contract to labor, in Berrien Coun-
ty Court, yesterday, and Judge Pee
pies imposed a fine of $1,000, or eight
months on the changing. This is said
to be the heaviest fine ever imposed
in Berrien country. 1t is understood
that Bryant was persuading hands to
leave turpentine farms in Berrien to
work on places in Florida.
Jim Barrett colored, was severely,

that he will be only too glad to have
Waterboy demonstrate that he is the
best horse of the year. In an interview
published yesterday Mr.. Haggin said:

all he cares to. If McChesney crosses

a great horse. I am not in the match
making business; my line is that of
breeder, and, personally l am sati sfied
in Waterboy haxe bred the best horse
of the year. When 1 came West it was
my understanding that Waterboy's last
race of the year would be in the Brigh-
ton Cup. l shall return East to see
him perform in that race"
This move on the part of the famous
breeder settles the fact that he will not
be in attendance at the Kentucky Trot-
ting Horse Breeders Association meet
ing this fall.

NEGROES lND0RSE THE

farmers of Pulaski county have or

poses of the institute, continues thus:
ITO encourage industrial training of

I'VE indorse the Calvin vagrancy

ness everywhere, and feel that it is a
blessing in disguise to the negro race.
We urge the young colored farmers to
stick closer to business, and put in six
days work in each week, just like
successful men have to do along all
other lines. We believe that six days
honest labor in each week will bring
and maintain peace and plenty in each

GIN BURNED AT NAYLOR.
Bonds Won by Big MajOrity-Sea
Island Coming Slowly.

Valdosta Ga, Sept. 24.-News was re-
ceived here this morning of the de-
struction of the gin house of Mr.. ]. L.
Robson, at Naylor, about 4 o'clock this
morning. The gin house was near Mr..
Robisons residence. and when the fire
was discovered the roof was falling in.
1t contained ten bales of sea island cot
ton, which belonged to different farm
ers in that section The gin house and
gins were valued at about 81, 900, while
the cotton increased the loss by another
thousand. Mr.. Robson feels assured
that the fire was of incendiary origin,
though he does not know who applied
the torch to it. The fire attracted a
large crowd of people in that neigh
borhood, but they were powerless to
save anything in the burning building.
The bond election here resulted in a
vote of 1877 for bonds and SIS votes
against them. Every district in the
county gave a good vote for the issue
except Dasher, which went solidly
against it. There was little interest in
the election, and the vote was very
small. Under the circumstances, the
County Commissioners hardly know
what to do They will meet next week
and will then decide the matter def
nitely. They have said all along that
they would build the Court House by
direct taxation if the bond issue failed,
and it is generally believed that they
will do so, though two of the commits
sioners are out of the city and could
not be seen in regard to the matter.
The receipts of sea island cotton here
are very slow, there not being half as
many bales in the market as. were re-
ceived the same dates last year. The
recent heavy rains did the crop great
deal of injury. both in destroying the
open cotton in the fields and in prevent
ing other bolls from opening soon. The
farmers are complaining a great deal
and do not believes that they will get
as much as they did last year, which
was a very disastrous year throughout
this section.
