SHERIFF SCHWARZ'S CHAPEAU

How Major and Deputy WriggIed
Out of Uncomfortable situation.
The sight of deputy sheriff hurry
ing through the streets to the Court
House shortly after dark yesterday
with two hats, but one of which he
was wearing, served as the key to a
singular situation in which Sheriff
Schwarz was the principal sufferer
Had any one observed closely he would
have seen the same deputy short time
before hurrying homeward, wearing d
hat several times too large for him. 1t
was Maj. Schwarz's chapeau.
The whole affair came about this
way: When the sheriff and Deputy
Hartigan prepared to leave their Office
for the day, they discovered that there
was but one hat between them. A
search for the missing hat was insti-
tuted, in the midst of which the depu-
ty remembered that he-had left it in
Judge Barrows office. The door was
locked, and neither had key. Mai
Schwarz, having locked the door, felt
responsible for the incarceration of the
hat and was not willing for Mr.. Harti-
gan to go home bare-headed.
Several plans We're suggested. The
idea of letting the sheriff go home first.
and having him send the hat back to
the Court House for his deputy seemed
untenable. To let the sheriff wear the
hat home, and have the deputy come by
for it was out of the question. To send
out and buy new hat seemed prepos-
ferrous. To telephone home for a hat
was deemed inadvisable. So the mat
ter was finally solved by the sheriff
waiting in bare-headed expectancy for
the return of the deputy while the lat
Ter went home and got another hat
While the deputy was gone, the sheriff
amused himself looking through the
glass door at the tantalizing hat, which
had been the cause of the trouble, and
which was truly so near and yet so
far

as the Cause for the Decline.
Factors Trying to show the Pro-
ducers the situation.
The search for trading basis in the
turpentine market was continued on
the Savannah Board of Trade yester-
day, when the price closed 11ac below
Tuesdays closing bid price. Yester-
days closing was firm at 45c, which Is
just zoe from the price at the opening
of the season on April 1. Knocking
the market down at the rate of about
$40 per cask in less than a month is
not comforting to producers, judging
from the reports by factors in the cor
respondence they are receiving on the
subject.
Resins came in for their share Of the

~ waiting for this, however. for at
the lower level they stepped in and

What interests me is the fact that
the declines are causing producers 10
think" said one factor. "They now
desire to have an explanation of the
meaning of the declines. | do not say
it in a spirit of criticism, but eondi-
lions have been such that ii required
just such an eye opener as we have
had, and may Yet have. to get the ear
of many producers. There are always
many interests to be conserved, and
when a producer is confronted with
advice from this and that source, IT is
natural for him to feel that somebody
may have an ak to grind. with de-
clines such as we are having. we can
all get down to business and may make
stronger efforts to reason out the best
thing to do to check the downward
trend of prices in the interest of all
concerned"
The efforts by factors to induce ship
ments to Savannah as a means of
checking the decline may have the de-
sired effect. The shipment by produc-
ers to closed ports at the prevailing
Savannah prices tends to lower the
price here and the producers are the
losers. AS producers learn it is
to their advantage to ship to this mar
ket the prices will strengthen" said one
factor 1t is purely a case of supply
and demand that regulates prices. If
the commercial bodies take up this
matter it Will be to the interest both
of Savannah and the naval stores pro-

WHO KILLED THE HOG?
That VIII BE an Important Subject
of JmdicinI Innuiry To-day.

of Judicial Inquiry To-day.
There will probably be some in
teresting developments at the trial of
S. S. Sasser General Morning Star
and William Taylor, in the Superior
Court to-day. Sasser, who is a white
man, is charged with murderous as
sault, while the two negroes are under
indictments for hog stealing. The
three charges are the outcome of a
single affair the particulars of which
are very interesting, involving charge
and counter charge. The negroes were
indicted on the white mans testimony,
and Vice-versa.
The incident which will be probed
this morning by judicial investiga ton
occurred several months ago at Os-
sabaw island. The two negroes were
caught on the island by Sasser, who
claims that they were attempting to
steal his hogs, and had, in fact, butch
cred one and placed him in their boat.
The negroes tell an entirely different
tale. They say that the day was a
cold one and that they had merely
come on the island to build a fire,
and did not have any intention of kill
ing a hog. They say that they had
nothing with them with which they
could have butchered hog, and that
if any hog was killed, the killing was
done after they had been shot in
order to afford semblance of prOvoca-
ton for the commission of the crime.
The jury will be called upon to de-
eide which version is borne out by the
circumstances. The negroes at White
Bluff were very much excited about
the affair for some time after the shoot
and, and there will probably be a
delegation of residents of Vernonburg
at the hearing, The two cases
will of course be tried separately.

ARE COMING
IN GREAT NUMBERS.
City viii BE Full of Prominent
BaptiSts Next Week.


AS the time for the meeting of the
Baptists of the South draws near the
number of letters and applications for
rooms and accommodations increase,
and everything points to great gath
ering in Savannah next week. The spe-
cial rates which have been made for
the Southern Baptist Convention will
go into effect Tuesday and the day fol-
lowing will find crowds coming in, on
regular and special trains. The con-
vention promises to be one of the
largest ever held and the visitors will
find the city beautiful and hospitable.
Special committees will meet all
trains and the members of these COM
mittees will be provided with lists of
boarding places. The great majority
of the visitors will come without hav-
ing made complete arrangements for
accommodation. and it is therefore adj
visable for all householders who desire
TO entertain delegates and visitors to
have their addresses placed with the
reception committee. 1t is also sug-
gested that someone representing the
house visit the depots and assist the
committeeman by giving information
when called upon, and thus be able to
take immediate charge of people who
may wish to go to their houses. The
special committee desires particularly
to be notified when a fousekeeper has
received all the visitors that she
wishes to care for, so that no more
may be sent. While the visitors may
not in some cases object to living a
distance from the places of the meet
ing of the convention, the general de-
sire is to have the places as nearly
central as possible.
AS there are many people in the city
who may wish information regarding
the coming convention, Rev. ]. d. Jor-
dan has arranged to be at the De Soto
every day from u to and from 4 to
6 o'clock On and after Tuesday, Rev.
y. S. Edenfield, chairman of the re-
ception committee, will be at the pas
tors study in the First Baptist Church
each afternoon. All matters in refer
ence to accommodations will be taken
to him and reports should be made in
regard to houses that are filled and
those desiring to accommodate more
visitors.

First Stage of Catarrh.
A Serious Mistake
Which Thousands
Are Making.

The first stage of catarrh is what is
commonly known as Catching cold"
1t may be in the head, nose, throat or
lungs. It's beginning is sometimes so
severe as to cause a chill and consider
able fever, or it may be so slight as to
not hinder a person from his usual
business. In perhaps majority of
cases little or no attention is paid to
the first stage of catarrh, and hence il
is that nearly one-half of the people
have chronic catarrh in some form.
To neglect a cold is to invite chronic
catarrh. AS soon as any

bad effects.
Unless this is done the cold is almost
sure to end in the second stage of ca
tarrh, which is making so many lives
misera BILE. If Peruna was taken every
time one has a cold or cough, chronic
catarrh would be practically an I'M
known disease.
Miss Belle Walden, jamestown, N.
Y, writes:
"Peruna has no equal as a catarrh
cure. / haven't enjoyed perfect health
for over ten years, suffering with a
troublesome case of catarrh of the
bronchial tubes. My father having used
Peruna for different ailments and with
very good success advised me to try it.

Pearls Becoming Scarce.

It is reported that famine of pearls has set in, due to the large demand for these lovely gems. It is claimed that no other stone is so becoming to youth and beauty, but the majority of people throughout the country are not able to purchase these costly gems. However, as long as they enjoy good health they are far richer and will always look better than if they possessed all the pearls in the world. If you have lost the precious possession-health-you should try HOstetter's Stomach Bitters because it is recognized as the best health maker in existence. It will cure headache, nervousness, indiges- tiOn, liver and kidney troubles and malaria, fever and ague. Our private Stamp is over the neck of the bottle.

A sparring exhibition took place at the Exchange saloon Tuesday night be- tween couple of travelling bruisers. The men were unevenly matched, as to size, but the little fellow made a good showing and foored his opponent twice in the bout of five rounds. There was plenty of good hard slugging, but little science. However, the crowd was de- lighted, and yelled frequent approval. 4 similar exhibition was pulled off at the same place Wednesday night, one of the scrappers being young cOlored man, who made his opponent quit in the third round. Both exhibitions were free. If this thing keeps up Yuma will get reputation. How would it do to put in bid for the Corbett-Jeffries mill?
