BuiIt for His Jacknss.

Bourke Cochran, says the New York
Times, is airing an amusing anecdote
picked up during his European trip. 1t
seems that two distinguished archaeol
ogists made an excursion to the Isles
of Arran, where interesting remains
of an archaeological nature exist They
came across a little rough stone build
ing, and both entered into a fierce ar
gument as to the exact century of it's
erection, one maintaining it was built
in the fifth, and the other in the sixth
century.
A native who had listened to the hot
discussion suddenly broke in:
"Arrah, yer honors, both of yeze are
wrong. Twas put up three years ago
by Patsy Doolan for his jackass!"

A chess game by wireless telegraphy
such as that played between passen-
gers aboard the steamships iceland
and Minnehaha, would probably be
very interesting if the moves We're as
last as the flashes through the circum-
ambient air apprising the players Of
the changes in position of the men.
Even Marconi seems not To have
solved the problem Of concluding a
chess match played by widely separ-
ated contestants. A game that begins
wednesday at noon and is called OFF
saturday night would seem 10 demand
the connection Of some sort OF current
with the brain that would cause a bit
more CELEBRITY la play.

Although the time for nominating
the congressman from this, the First,
district is nearly a year off, there is
already considerable activity among
aspirants for the nomination and
their friends. Those mentioned so
far are Col. P. w. Meldrim of this
city, Hon. J. A. Brannen of Bulloch
county, and Hon. w. H. Davis of
Burke county. Representative Les
ter's term does not expire until a year
from next March, but it is generally
understood that he will not seek re-
nomination: hence the early opening
of the campaign.

Calvin Of Richmond was the father
Of the vagrancy law that bears his
name. 1t is rather strange that of the
1877 counties in Georgia, it should be
from that of the father Of the law
that the first report comes Of a con-
spiracy among negroes to strike back
with an organized attack upon the Of
ficers Of the law. 1t is extremely un-
likely, however that there is anything
more than talk behind such a report

While Savannah is looking forward
to becoming the shipping point for the
grain of a portion of the West, Phila-

that she had to appear just when the

If all the tales told of the new gold
fields of Mexico are true it will not be
long before the gold supply will be so
great that there will be a great rise
in the prices of nearly everything that
is grown or made. The new fields are
in the state of Oaxaca, and it is said
that surface claims are selling for as
much as 100000. 1t has hardly been
two weeks since the discovery was

1t is improbable that the people of
Thomas county will have strife be-
tween the whites and the blacks on
account of the killing of Thomas Will
liams, the negro. According to the re-
ports, there is no proof that a white
man murdered Williams. Though it is
said that the negroes are arming with
the probable intention of making an
attack upon the whites to avenge Will
liams, there is but little likelihood that
any such course will be taken. If any
thing Of that nature were to follow the
killing of Williams it would have
transpired Immediately after that un-
fortunate affair. 1t is in the fury of
the first moments that mobs usually
act. Negroes are not by nature nota-
bly, vengeful If they do not act
hastily as a mob, it is improbable
that they will act at all. There are
usually to be found in every communi-
ty negroes of sound common sense,
whose warnings and counsel suffice to
prevent any rebellion against the law
or any attempt by a mob to take the
law into its own hands.

Ed Watkins, an illiterate colored man,
was set upon and severely beaten by two
drunken white men in Stringtown. on the

search of employment. He found a place
in the Big Four roundhouse. and worked
there yesterday. After finishing his work
he started for home. and was waylaid by
two men, of them drunk, he says.
Watkins says the men asked him what he
was doing in the neighborhood where they
found him, and he replied that he was
passing through on his way home. He
says one OF the men struck at him, at the
same time saying TO the other:
'You know we don't allow no niggers to
pass through here, do we?"
After that both men struck him several
times, and left him lying on the ground.
After he recovered from the effects of the
blows received. Watkins came down town

A. 8. MOUNT, EIGHTY-ONE YEARS
OLD, sUCCUMBs TO APOPLExY.
In HIS Youth He Was Friend of
Ulysses s. Grant-Death of
Mrs. ID. G. Branham.

Apoplexy took away an old and promi-
nent citizen of Indianapolis yesterday

one died at the Hotel Morton after a pro-
longed illness. The funeral will be held
probably tomorrow afternoon from the
home Of his son, Charles F. Mount, in the
Roberts flats. Burial will be at Crown Hill.
Mr.. Mount was well known throughout

was born in Clermont, O.. in 1922. near the

TALK OF WIDER LATITUDE
CHAIRMAN wYNNE OPPOSED TO IN
CREASED APPROPRIATION.
Special Grade-Crossing Committee
VIII Meet Tomorrow Night
Municipal Affairs.

The Council committee on investigation
and impeachment has not secured an attor-
ney to present the testimony in support of
the charges in relation to the sprinkling
contract Chairman wynne said last night
that Charles S. Wiltse, who had the propo-
sition of the committee under advisement
had declined, and that the committee was
undecided as to it's further movements.
Mr.. wynne still favors Larz A Whitcomb
for this duty.
Councilman Expert, the other Republican
member Of the committee, says the COM
mittee's talks with attorneys have con-
WINGED him that 1t is almost impossible TO
secure a Republican lawyer of recognized
ability TO undertake the prosecution Of the
charges. He says the lawyers say the
scope of the investigation is too limited
and that II more latitude is provided the
work required of a lawyer could not be
compensated by the amount Of the appro-
priation-$500. He says the lawyers are not
willing to undertake the case, which in
wolves their reputation as they say IT does.
without adequate compensation and greater
latitude. In view of the conditions he also
says many Republican lawyers who would
be available will not undertake ii at any
price because of it's political effect. Conse-
quently he says he feels that the committee
should ask a larger appropriation and au-
thority to investigate the doings of the
board from its appointment until the pres
ent time. Such an investigation would re-
quire much preparation and a session of
thirty days on the part of the committee.

said Mr.. Expert. but being on IL. 1 want
to see that any investigation will be one
that is satisfactory. Both sides of this
lawyer outside OF the party should be
chosen. So far as IL may be in my power
/ want the investigation to be clean and
thorough"
Mr.. Wynne says he has not favored and
does not favor an increased appropriation
nor the employment of a Democratic at
torney, as has been suggested. He says
there are many capable Republican attor-
neys who will accept the position for the
charging the investigation just TO fatten
some lawyers purse. The committee, he
says, is acting in a semi-judicial way. much
as grand jury, and the attorney is needed
only 10 present the testimony fully and
fearlessly. Mr.. Wynne says If this is done
the committee may easily determine its
conclusions.
Mr.. Shea, the Democratic member of the
committee. has so far not been active in
the work of the committee, but Ii Is under
stood he favors greater latitude than the
committee now possesses.
Mr.. Expert was not sure last night wheth-
er a larger appropriation would be asked or
not. Any appropriation would have to be
approved by the mayor before the Council
could act on It,

CITY's FINANCIAL POLICY.
Mayor Bookwalter Replies to a Pub
Iished Statement.

Mayor Bookwalter criticises the pub
lished statement condemning his financial
policy during the present administration

ment," he said. charges me with having
for this year from increased revenues
over the preceding year s126,OOO. 1t also
charges me with the 1896. 600 which was bor-
rowed by an issue of bonds to discharge
the temporary loans of the same amount
left by the Taggart administration. This
money was of no benefit to the administra-
ton. IL came into one hand as the proceeds
of bond issue and went out of the other
to pay old debts In addition the statement
gave the administration credit for the pay
ment of the Gallup taxes-s30. OO0-but did
not set against them the $26. 900 of mortgage
redemptions refunded and the $4,000 inter-
est on the temporary loan.
Thus i figure that this administration
should not be charged with the s195,OO0 of
the bond issue and the $4,000 OF Gallup
taxes. The two items together-S225 600
should be set off against the s126.375 which
Ii Is alleged Is the excess In favor of this
administration. and the deduction results
in SOS, 625 In favor of the present admin
istration.
