CAPT. DAGGETT ENUMERATED.
Revenue Cutter Omcer's Charges
Against Him Dismissed.

Revenue
Against Him Dismissed.
Capt H. C. Daggett of the steam
ship City of Savannah has been exon
Grated by the steamboat inspectors of
New York of any violation of law or
direliction of duty while in command
of his vessel on the first day of the
international yacht races.
Capt Daggett was charged by Capt.
Walker of the revenue cutter Gresham
with crossing thelfne prescribed by the
commander of the cutter and refusing
to back his vessel when signalled to
do so. HE
Capt Daggett in his reply to the
charge said that he was not aware
that the Gresham had signalled him
to keep back and he had not intention
ally violated any rule.
The case was heard before the steam
boat inspectors who reserved their
decision. Capt. Daggett in the mean
time was disqualified to command the
Savannah and she was in command
of Capt. Smith during the second race.
1t was not believed here that Capt.
Daggett had violated any law inten-
tiontally, if he had violated any at all,
and the dismissal of the charges against
him is what was expected all along
Capt. Daggett will probably command
his ship at the next race. The outcome
of the case is a source of gratfica-
sion to Capt. Daggett's friends, though
it is no surprise.

Claims Tint She Signed Mortgage on
Her Property While Under Duress.
Clerk j. X. P. Carr received for rec
ord yesterday an interesting restrain
ing order which was signed on Satur-
day by Judge Roberts of the Wilcox
Superior Court, acting in the absence
of Judge Barrow from the circuit. In
the petition for injunction, Mrs. Carrie
T. Johnson asks that the A. LETTER
Company of Savannah be prevented
from foreclosing a mortgage on GER
tain property in Abbeville, because her
signature was obtained by duress.
Mrs. johnson alleges that in Oc-
tober 1899, her husband asked her to
sign certain papers in order that he
might realize 5000 on the property in
question. Upon her refusal to comply
he grew very angry, she says, and
threatened to separate from her. Final
ly, he declared he would kill himself.
Becoming thoroughly frightened, she
signed the papers.
The case will be tried in Chatham Su-
perior Court, the residence of the de-
PENDANT company. The sale of the prop
erty has been staid, pending the deter
mlnatiOn Of the issue.

BIGGEST COTTON YEAR
IN SAVANNAH'S HISTORY
Receipts Were 1,3oo,e54 Bales, 142,291 Ahead
Of Last Year

The new crop is beginning to move,
and the next day or two is expect
ed to find it well under way. The steam
is still on the contract markets, which
advanced sharply yesterday at both
New York and New Orleans. Spot
markets are also higher, and holders
are making strong efforts to rush their
cotton to market, to get the premium
exporters are paying. 1t is believed
that when cotton begins to move in
larger volume prices may yield, hence
the eagerness of holders to market
their crop while prices are up.
Savannah's factorage, brokerage and
shipping trade is ready for the new
crop. The trade looks for another rec
ord and prosperous year.

WHITE STONE LTTHIA SPRINGS.
Its Guests Issue a Card Endorsing
the Action of Mrs. }. F. Harris.


White Stone Lithia Springs. Aug.
2S, 1903.-We, the undersigned, guests
of the White Stone Lithia Hotel hav-
ing noticed in the various papers
throughout the state numerous articles
concerning the recent robberies from
the rooms of this hotel. We believe
that great injustice has been done Mr.
Harris. At the earnest SOlication of
the guests from whom articles of value
had been taken, he was induced to
make search for the recovery of the
property. While none of the lost prop
erty was recovered, we are informed
that sufficient evidence was secured to
justify Mr.. Harris in his search. We
feel confident that Mr.. Harris did all
he could to recover the lost property
taken from his guests. We heartily
approve of his actions in this matter
and believe in the coming trial before
the courts that he will be thoroughly
indicated.

With the closing of the cotton sea-
son yesterday, Savannah rounded
out one of the most successful
seasons of its history. The to-
tai gross receipts were 1,9OO,954 bales,
against 1,15S,663 bales in 19O1-19O2, a
gain of 1920 bales. Cotton from new
territory is the explanation of the gain.
The season of 19O3-19O4 opens to-day
under unusual conditions. The new
crop is late and prices are high. BY
this time last year the crop was COM
ing in at a lively rate. This is not
only shown in the receipts, but also
in the bank clearings, which were, 49,
100000 for August 1908 against. $12,-
100000 for August, 1902.
