The fight between West Side BARRIERS
was taken up in Police Court by Re
corder Myrick yesterday, with the re-
suit that both of those charged with

were remanded for trial.
The defendants were Charlie Math-
ews OF No. 31S Liberty street. west
and John Boots OF No. 32S West
Broad street. both places in the same
locality. The evidence was conclusive
that both negroes had violated the
state law In that they did business

of spite. but under the evidence there

RAILROAD WANTED
ON BAY STREET,
Petition to Council to BE Allowed to
Lay 1t to he Filed Soon.

Lay 1t to he Filed Soon.
petition that will excite general
interest especially among the owners
of Bay street property may be filed
with City Council shortly. 1t is that
the city grant permission for a rail-
road track to be laid on some street
along the river front to the west of
the city extending through spur tracks
so as to reach the doors of several fac
tories and dealers in heavy goods that
are located on West Bay street.
So far those interested in the move
for the track are the American Cigar
Company, Messrs. Hartfelder and Gar
butt the Davis Forrest Machine
Works, and, it is stated, some of the
other firms and individuals having
places of business in the vicinity of
Bay and West Broad streets.
About the time this petition is ready
for Council another will be sent to
one of the railroads. either the S. A.
L. or the Central of Georgia. 1t Is
thought that if permission to lay the
track can be secured such represent
tation can be made to whichever of
these roads it is decided as preferable
to have, as will induce it to build the
desired trackage.
1t will be remembered that this mat
ter of having road to reach Bay
street was taken up many months ago
but the petition was refused by Coun-
ell owing to the objections of many
of the property owners along the pro-
posed line. Those who are now agi-
tating the plan are not unmindful of
the fate of the former petition but
hold that conditions now are different
from what they were then.
At that time, they claim, Bay street
had not lost much of the business
that has since gone elsewhere, chiefly
to the railroad yards. and that now
even those who raised objections be-
fore must have become aware that if
the street has any future at all it is
that of a manufacturing center and
that this can only be developed and
fostered by furnishing such facilities
as only convenient railroad transpor-
tation can give.

This seems a pretty big price to pay
for a single bottle of medicine, and yet
II you consider the matter rightly, il
is a very cheap price for a bottle of
Johnson's Tonic.
Here is what fixes its value:
First. No man can die Of fever who
uses IL half way right.
Second. No other medicine can cure
a bad attack of grip.
800 is dirt cheap for this wonderful
medicine. and yet you can buy IL for 50

the local bar in the Superior Court
room yesterday, action was taken in
regard to the death of the late Judge

state in his judicial capacity and his
sterling qualities as citizen.

ganized condition of the Bar Associa-
ton no formal notice was issued. The

ing of the members of the bar so soon
as they have completed their work.
lie meeting WAS presided over DY
Mr.. ]. R. Saussy. he being the Oldest
member of the bar present Judge
Norwood's attendance was prevented
by his duties in the City Court. He
expressed his regret at being unable
to attend, and excused all members of
the bar who We're in attendance on his
court at the time. The committee ap-
pointed, was named on the motion of
Judge Adams, whose name. was added
by the chairman.

DIED IN A BAR ROOM
CONFEDERATE VETERAN FOUND
DEAD IN BRYAN STREET SALOON.
HAD EMPTY BOXES FOR A BED.
SOUGHT PLACE TO REST, THEN
SLEPT THE SLEEP ETERNAL.

Dead Mans Name Was Hughey
Smith-Had Been m Inmate of the
Home of the Little sisters of the
POOr-Came to the City to Draw
His Professionalism of Asth-
ma and Asked For Place to Rest.
Was Directed TO an Old Corner
Where, Behind Lattice work,
Empty Boxes and Barrels Had
Been Piled - Found Dead More
Than an Hour Afterward.
With a lot of empty barrels and
boxes for a bed. Hughey Smith, an
aged Confederate veteran and an in
mate of the home of the Little Sisters
of the Poor, after spending the money
which he had received a few days be
fore as a pension. died yesterday in a
bar room on Bryan street. He was
found several hours after death in
half sitting posture, cold and stiff.
The discovery was made at 3 o'clock,
but it was the opinion of all who saw
the body that the man had been dead
for at least two hours. Coroner Keller
was notified and, with other officers Of
the law, went to the bar room. No in
quest was held, as it was the undis-
puted testimony of several eye wit
nesses that Smith had asked for a
place to rest, and was told to go be-
hind the lattice work in one corner
of the bar, where he Immediately
dropped off into sleep.
The sleep eternal followed close, for,
when two hours afterward a friend
attempted to rouse him he was cold
in death. Thinking that the old man
was in a deep sleep his friend shook
him, at the same time calling for him
to get up. No response being forthcom-
ing he was Strengthened up and his
chin raised. Then it was that the
CHASTITY discovery became apparent.
There was no expression of pain on
his face, and the attending physician
said that he had died without awak-
ening.
His body was taken to the undertake
ing establishment of John A. Goette,
where it was identified by his rela-
tives and afterwards dressed for burial.
The authorities at the home did not
know of the whereabouts of the old
man. He had come TO the city for the
purpose of drawing his annual vete-
rams pension. From that time moth
ing was heard of him.
His own Enemy.
The old man was Of a quiet
disposition. never seeking a diff
ficulty with any one. He had
many friends and no enemies, so that,
with the testimony of the eye wit
nesses, the idea of his having met per-
sonal violence was untenable.
Smith had been hanging about the
bar for some time, complaining of
asthma, with which he frequently suf-
fered, though he was otherwise in good
health He had been almost unable
to catch his breath and frequently
suffered from coughing spells Those
who saw him said that he was not I'M
der the influence of liquor, and as
cribe his sudden death to the fact that
the posture in which he was lying
made it more difficult than otherwise
to breathe freely, and that his death
resulted from acute asthma.

of the "somnambulistfc swat" landed
him the final blow which sent him into
defeat.
Considered simply from the physical
viewpoint the Corbett of today is a
wonderful fighting machine, probably,
as he honestly believes, a better one
than ever before. With q height equal
TO that of the champion, though he
seems taller, Corbett has a reach that
is in no wise inferior. In weight he is
outclassed, and in brute strength JeA-
fries is far ahead, but the aspirant
counts on his well known speed, his
knowledge of the game, and his gen.
eralship, to regain for him that place
which he so earnestly desires Whether
his advantages of education are able
TO offset the physique God gave Jeffries
Is story that only the 18th of next
August can tell. Corbett says yes.
I'm bigger now than ever before
in my life am stronger. and never
Ielt better. Look at my skin; feel my
muscles, watch those in my back play
as l bend over: run your hand over
this" said the tall fellow last night in
his dressing room at the Orpheum as
he presented that cast iron solar plexus

rugated iron roofing been imported for
the occasion and clamped around Cor
belts middle 1t could not have been
more unytelding that the ridges of
muscles which he raised at will.
How did I get all this? Well, it's a
simple story. I did 1t by two hours Of
systematic work q day; not hard train
ing, but easy gymnastics. / worked
just fast enough TO keep up a good heat
and finished with a moderate sweat:
not enough TO weaken me each day,
but enough to keep me well cleaned
out. I have series Of gymnastic ex-
erctses do on the floor; they
strengthen the abdominal and back
muscles. The same movements help
out my waist. For my arms and
shoulders I have another series. In
short, my whole aim was to build my
self up by moderate and continued
light exercise; not 20 tear of weight
by hard, systematic training of many
hours each day. Had I done that I
would be stale. AS 1t ts, I never felt
more youthful than I do this minute.
It's a great help to man to feel as 7
do" Corbett certainly looked the part.
His cheek glowed with health. His eye
flashed with fine animal spirit as he
spoke. II there ever was an ideal ath-
lete, this Is the man.
DO you really believe that you, or
indeed any other fighter, can hit Jeff
r1es hard enough to knock him out %
Corbett was asked.
THE best answer to that I can give
you Is this, have done 1t. When
training in Carson City with him prep
aratory to the Fitzsimmons fight I
caught Jeffries with a right uppercut
one day and he fell back into my arms
as much out as any one ever was. He
