We clip the following intervie,

We clip the following interview
from the Crowley Signal, which is
a lesson to every one-crop-idea
planter in Southwest Louisiana:
"You rice people are afflicted
with the same disease that affects
our cotton planters. You are one
crop planters, and when you ex-
perience even a partial failure it
hurts you.
"In spite of many short crops
and even total failures, we are
this year again putting every acre
of our land to cotton, and l sup
pose you farmers are doing the
same thing here-planting only
rice.
"One reason why we plant only
cotton is that we have to depend
on black labor, entirely, and cot
ton is the only crop a negro is fit
to raise. 1t requires not only so
much hoeing as corn and the land
does not have to be prepared as
carefully. We might raise corn
and vegetables if we only had the
white labor.
"But this objection does not az
feet you, since your labor is large
ly white. There seems to be no
good reason why you should not
raise other grain besides rice, as
well as live stock, poultry and
vegetables. Your rice is a very
profitable crop, but one crop
country is always in a bad way
when that crop is short"

services were conducted shortly after
sunset by Rabbi Horowitz. Large num-
bers We're in attendance and the ritual
service was followed out closely and
without deviation. This morning there
will be service at the customary morn
ing hour and another one later in the
day.
Business will be suspended to-day
and the hours will be spent in quiet
and prayer No food will be taken, the
desire being to abstain from even such
thoughts of the world as the prepara-
ton and partaking of food would neces-
state. Prayer and meditation will oc-
cupy the minds of AL until after sun
set tonight.

In many places the people will dwell

Feast of Tabernacles is partly in re-

ers dwelt in tents in the wilderness and
partly in Thanksgiving for a plentiful

WILL EXTEND THE PLANT.
Atlantic and Gulf Mills at Quitman
to BE ENLARGED.

to Be Enlarged.
Quitman, Ga, Sept 30.-At the an
nual meeting of the Atlantic and Gulf
Mills, after declaring a dividend of 8
per cent, the stockholders decided to
double the capacity of the plant, put
ting up new building the size of the
present one to handle the finer grades
of yarn made of sea island cotton.
The present capitalization is 500, 000
and although the stock books have
been open for subscriptions for only a
few days $4,000 of the 100000 required
has been subscribed. Nearly all of the
stock in the concern is owned here, and
it has made money from the time oper-
alton began several years ago. With
the exception of two weeks this fall
when it was shut down for want of
cotton, it has been run continuously
and this record is very gratifying to
it's stockholders and we'll wishers,
especially when 1t is considered that
conditions have been such that other
similar concerns have shut down or
failed.

"GHOSTS" WILL BE SEEN IN
SAVANNAH THIS MONTH.

An Annapolis, Md, dispatch to the
Morning News says Alberta Gala
tin opened her season here in Ibsens
Ghosts" under the direction of George
H. Brennan, appearing before one of
the largest and most fashionable audi
ences in the theatrical history of An
napois. Among the spectators We're
several society friends of Miss Gala
tin from New York, Washington and
Baltimore. The verdict of the audience
at the conclusion was that the artist
achieved the greatest success of her
career as Mrs Alving, the heroine of
Ibsens powerful drama There were
several curtain calls at the end of each
act and when the curtain fell for the
last time Miss Gallatin was compelled
to respond to calls for a speech. In
the audience were old soldiers who at
tended the performance as a mark of
respect to Miss Galatians father, Gen.
Albert Gallatin Jenkins, who lost his
life fighting for the Confederacy."

is brewing in municipal political circles
over the action of the board of health
last night in amending it's bylaws so
as to disfranchise five members of the
City Council and the Mayor, who are
ex-oficio members of the board and
heretofore have always voted on all
questions and elections.
The board is composed of one men,
Der from each ward in the city who Is
elected by Council on the Mayors nom
nation; three physicians, the five
members of the City Council who COM
pose the Health Committee of Coun-
ell. and the Mayor, making fourteen,
and requiring eight to elect.
DISTINGUISHING the councilmen and
Mayor leave only eight active members
and five constitute a majority. 1t is
claimed now by the incoming Allen adj
ministration that this action was
prompted by the desire of members on
the board who are identified with the
outgoing Phinizy administration to
keep themselves in office and not allow
the new Mayor and five councilman
who will take office in January to have
a voice in eecting the president and
secretary of the Board of Health or
otherwise have any influential voice in
its affairs.
President Coleman states that last
nights action was for the purpose of
eliminating the political element, and
to take he Board of Health out of poll
tics The Allen administration people
claim on the contrary that 1t is an at
tempt at a bold political coup and was
the most fragrant sort of politics. There
is much gossipping on the subject to-
night among the city politicians, and 1t
is said the right of the board to dis
franchise its councilmanic members
will be legally tested before the courts

FIVE HOURS IN CELL
CAUSED HIS ILLNESS
Mr.. Henry G. Greene Locked Up as Suspicious
Character Without Bail

with the officer is entirely different. He
was at the Central Fire Station until
midnight and walked to Colonial Park
with several friends. He promised to
wait on them and remained between
Abercorn and Habersham streets until
his encounter with the officer Mr..
Green said he was astounded when the
patrolman approached him and in an
insolent and threatening manner
charged that he had been lettering
around the house at Hull and Haber-
sham streets. He knew the officer and
was indignant at his manner. He had
only walked to the corner to see the
ratrol wagon pass with prisoner. Mr..
Greene has never been in any trouble,
and he says he was naturally indignant
when he was made a prisoner.
He charges that he asked Collins to
take him before the desk sergeant, but
that the officer refused. He further ask
ed that a bondsman be sent for, but
no attention was paid to this request,
and he was forced to occupy cell until
the first day relief went on duty, when
his identity was esta blished. Up to this
time he charges that he was not per-
mitted to speak to the desk sergeant,
to use the telephone. or get a bonds
man. He had not been in good health,
and the night spent in the cell put him
in a highly nervous condition.
All of these facts were brought out
IN Police Court when the case was
heard by Recorder Myrick. The Re-
corder agreed to dismiss the case if Mr..
Greene would take the matter no
further, but Mr., Greene re-
fused and was fined $40. The fine
was paid and Mr.. Greene filed a
complaint with the superintendent
of police, who took the matter up at
once and had the charges reduced to
writing, SO that they could properly be
presented to the Mayor who will hold
the investigation. Supt. Garfunkel
said that in all cases where a prisoner
desires to secure a bondsman, or
wishes a friend telephoned for, he hal
given instructions that IL should be
done. .4'v-.
AS soon as Mr.. Greene's condition
warrants him leaving his bed he will
consult counsel with view to securing
advice that he may know just what
steps to take, outside of the investiga-
ton before the Mayor. The Supreme
Court has held that a municipality is
not responsible for the acts of its pa
trolmen and in order to be able to re-
cover in the civil courts the officer
himself must be sued.
The Savannah morning news., 1903-10-01

Following his arrest at 1850 O'Clock
yesterday morning as a suspicious
character, and for cursing Patrolman
c. A. Collins, and his detention in a
cell at the police station for five hours,
Mr.. Henry G. Greene was taken vio-
lently i'll during the day and had to Sc
cure the attention of a physician. His
condition was not regarded as serious
last night.
The arrest of Mr.. Greene was brought
about under rather peculiar circum-
stances and a full and thorough inves-
tigation will be made by Mayor Myers
At the same time the superintendent
of police will change a system that
has been in vogue at police headquar
ters for a number of years But for
this system Mr.. Greene would not have
been detained when made a prisoner.
1t has been the rule to take prisoners
Immediately to the station house and

geant In the future prisoners who are
not under the influence of liquor will
be taken before the desk sergeant be-
fore they are locked up.
A lady living on Hull and Haber-
Snam streets teleDhOned the desk SER
geant at about IL o'clock that there
was a man lurking in the neghborhood
of her house. Patrolman Collins
made an investigation, but could find
no one in the vicinity. Again, shortly
before 2 o'clock, a similar telephone
message was received from the same
party and the officer went to make an
investigation. He says that he saw a
man on Habersham street near DIR.
Nortons office, and that he started for
him.
The man moved on towards Aber-
corn street and L followed" said Col
Inns. Just before he got in Lincoln
street he turned around and asked me
why I was following him. / told him
that q lady around the corner had
complained that he was hanging
around her house. He said that if
either of US made that statement we
were | told him he would
have to go back with me to the lady.
She said he looked like the man and
took him over and locked him up. He
cursed me all the way. He said that
his name was Henry G.. Greene, but
/ didn't know him"

NOTED LEADER GONE.

Hon. James Hill. editor of the Mis-
sissippi State Register, at Jackson,
Mississippi, died yesterday of heart
trouble. He was a prominent leader
and steadfast in his opinions. He has
held some very important and respon-
sible positions in his State. At one
time he was postmaster at Vicksburg.
He was good citizen and had the
high regard of all. We regret the
sad occurrence of his death.
