NEGRO PORTER KILLED.

Joe Jones, negro porter on the Cen
trail passenger train which left Albany
Thursday morning for Macon, met a
horrible death at Oglethorpe. At the
latter point. the northbound train had
been ordered to meet the south bound
passenger due to reach Albany at Sis
o'clock. In order to let the latter pass,
the train headed for Macon was side
tracked. AS it started back onto the
main line. Jones attempted to step up
on the pilot of the engine, but his foot
slipped, he fell on the track and in the
twinkling of an eye was ground to
pieces under the wheels. His death
was instantaneous.

WHY HE WAS WHIPPED.

George L. Battersby. deputy sheriff
of DeSoto county, and candidate for
marshal of Fort Myers, speaking of the
recent whipping of a negro there, said
The negro was whipped because he
went upon the stand in the Bowman
murder inquest, at Punta Gorda, and
deliberately swore to a lie that might
have caused the lynching of several
innocent men. When he was asked
about the matter he admitted that he
had lied, and said that he didn't know
why he had done so, unless it was be-
cause he was drunk. Several white
citizens believed that the negro need
ed lesson, and it was administered
to him, as published"

10000 SMUGGLERS
WORRY UNCLE SAM.
But Despite Its Strenuous scheming,
This Army of Lawbreakers Only
Clears Up S75O.OOO Year.

But Despite Its Strenuous Scheming,
This Army of Lawbreakers Only
Clears Up S75O.OOO Year.
For a mere yearly pittance, averag-
ing less than 500 apiece, 10000 men
are daily daring prison walls for the
sake of smuggling imports past the
customs officials of the United States.
This army of smugglers, according
to the prominent Washington official
who furnished the data, is made up of
sailormen who are largely employed to
bring the goods to ports; small boat
men, who meet the ships when in
sight of port and pick up the tarpau-
Uncovered cases thrown overboard
fences" in all the more important
ports of entry, and many tobacco and
liquor dealers both on this and the
other side of the Atlantic, whose lines
of goods are those chiefly smuggled.
These men engage in smuggling pure
and simple. They have nothing to do
with getting undervalued goods
through the custom houses. They
match their wits against those of the
customs officials for every cent there
is in the game, and they scorn any
thing less.
But as exposed as are our thousands
of miles of seaboard, the best that
these smugglers can do, in numerical
strength half as large as Uncle Sans
standing army of few years ago, Is
to beat the government out of consid-
erably less than one-half of per cent
Of h., frfsn
levied and collected.
Small as this 81 600 900 seems when
compared with the $24O, O0O, 900 duties
on $l,000,000. 900 worth of imports, that
sum is eventually diminished one
fourth by the unceasing detective vigil
lance of the customs department so
that if the net profits of smuggling
some $150O00 in all-were equally divid-
ed among the smugglers, not moth
er's son of them would get so much as
500 for the perilous work.
SAN Francisco the Chief SMUGGLING
Port.
The smuggler has to blame Uncle
Sans fine system of customs espion-
age, both here and abroad. Tor making
his Illicit calling more hazardous the
longer he sticks to it. Indeed, so
closely watched is the port of New
field of the smugsler-that even the
boldest customs evader thinks twice
before attempting to do business there
AS a result much of the smuggling
trade has been transferred within the
past year 10 San Francisco, and that
port bids fair to establish smuggling
records that will admit of fair com
parison with New York's.
Until recently the smuggling in of

carried on almost wholly at New
York. Now, however owing TO nu-
merous detections, arrests and con t.
lions in that city, the smugg ers of
Sumatra are operating tn ough san
