enough to be in the place when the
trouble between the sports began did
not appear before the grand jury, and
so far as is known his name WAS not
mentioned in the jury room. It was
known during the Investigations, how
ever, that there had been another par
ty in Bryan's place and on the street
it was said that his testimony would
not be used until the trial of the case.
1t was two or three days before the
officers learned the identity of the wit
ness, and no subpoena was issued. 1T
was said that the authorities consid-
cred it wise at that time to take no
action and that their intention was to
have the witness give his testimony
before a jury in the Superior Court.
1t is highly probable that the trial
will be a sensational one and will re-
suit in a general shaking up. There
have been all sorts of rumors in cir
culation within the last few days, and
the investigation by a petit jury will
at least be interesting. 1t is said that
the party who was in the place told a
friend that he had been out of the
city and had just returned on an early
morning train, and went to Bryan's
place for lunch.

1t is probable that the state shoot
will be held about Aug. 10. This date

work will be commenced. 1t may be
that to expedite matters no meeting

Williams, who was summoned from the
city, stated when he saw the wounded
man that he could only live few
hours.
Cause of the Tragedy.
Sanders is a fisherman and had
been guilty of casting over planted
oyster beds Edward Nelson, the IA
Their of the dead man, lame and about
So years of age, had spoken to San
ders about the manner in which he
threw his net over the oyster beds. The
negro was insolent and abusive. The
son was informed of what had taken
place and said that he himself would
take Sanders to task.
With the negro boy, Nelson set sail
for Pigeon Island Saturday to get a
load of watermelons. Sanders was fish,
ing in the river near the place occu-
pied by Nelson's brother. He was call
ed to by the young man and replied
in surly tone that he nad not cursed
his father. Nelson replied that he had
and that he would see him later about
the affair.
He made no effort to stop his boat
and sailed pass the bateau occupied by
Sanders. Nelson had no thought of
danger and his back was turned when
the negro walked to the stern of his
bateau, got the pistol from under the
seat and fired the fatal shot.
Nelson Was Popular.
The murdered man was well known
in Savannah and was popular. He was
about 26 years of age and besides a
young wife leaves an infant. For this
reason his tragic death was particu-
larly sad.
The funeral will take place this
morning at 10 o'clock from his late
residence and the interment will be in
the family burial ground at Seventy
six. The pallbearers will be c. o. God
frey, John H. Tanner, Gordon Nelson,
John H. Tanner, Jr, Joseph Nelson
and Walter Tanner.
Sanders is not a native of Cedar
Hammock and the negroes at that
place have not had a great deal to
do with him. The county officers spent
all of yesterday searching for the ne
gro, but could find no trace of him.
He Is supposed to have reached one
of the many islands in the vicinity of
Cedar Hammock. The murderer is
minus two fingers. but beyond this the
officers have very poor description
| of him.

Asked to BE Candidate for supreme
Court Vacancy.
The name of Judge Barrow has been
prominently mentioned in connection
with the place recently vacated by
Justice Lumpkin of the Georgia Su-
preme Court. and. it is understood, he
has been importuned by men of mfiu-
ence to allow his name to be used.
Judge Barrow's name was first men
toned shortly after the death
of the distinguished jurist, when,
in discussion between a
number of prominent politicians
in Atlanta, the names of three
South Georgians of prominence were
mentioned. These were Judge Barrow,
Judge Henry G.. Turner and Judge Jo-
seph Bennett.
1t is also understood that Judge Bar
row declined to allow his name to be
used. Who will get the coveted ermlne
is a problem, and it is certain that the
Governor will not make the appoint
ment for some time yet. To be men
toned prominently in connection with
the place is a great honor, and one
which has come to Savannah more
than once of recent date.

"DEVILS PECULIAR TO

Rev. j. A. Smith Talks of Laxity in
Church Attendance.


At Epworth Methodist Church last
night Rev J. A. Smith, pastor. preach
ed on the subject Devils Peculiar to
the Summer Time" His text was
taken from Ecclesiastes, 3, 1: ITO
everything. there is a season and
time to every purpose under the
heaven"
Mr.. Smith took up the idea that
there is always a falling off in church
attendance in the summer and a slack
ing up of work of all kinds for the
advancement of Christianity. The peo-
pie, he said, patronize the resorts and
enter into the sports and pastimes that
are provided. Many also patronize the
places where drinks, temperate and
otherwise, are served and thus spend
the day in merrymaking or worse.
The people, said the minister, when
they go away for the summer to the
resorts, at seaside or mountains, often
spend the Sabbath in ways that they
would not think of if at home. They
desecrate Gods day with pleasures
that would not be dreamed of II they
had not gone away. The wtsther
seems to be filled with evil spirits, and
