LAW WILL PROTECT
AND AID ALL WOMEN
Preston O'Quinn Scored by Court for
Using Indecent Language.


Using Indecent Language.
Preston OQuinn was yesterday
found guilty of cursing and using in
decent language on a railroad train
in the presence of ladies.
The state introduced overwhelming
evidence to show that the young man
was drunk, that he had cursed, and had
behaved generally in a rowdy-like and
ungentlemanly manner. The jury re-
quired only about three minutes in
making up its verdict.
In imposing sentence Judge Cam
scored the defendant heavily. He told
him that the law would always be
found ready to protect and aid women
wherever they were and that the man
who was found guilty of cursing and
using foul language in their presence
would always be punished. Drunken
ness, he said, was no excuse for the Of
tense.
He told the young man that he was
fortunate in having such a brother as
he did and that it would be better for
him if he would emulate him and drop
the evil habits that he has contracted.
He then sentenced him to pay a fine
of $3.50 and costs or serve one year on
the changing. Through the efforts
of the defendants brother, the fine
was paid.

ONLY SIXTEEN MEN
FOR RIFLE SHOOT
Gov. Terrell Declined Proposition to
Appropriate More Money.

Gov. Terrell Declined Proposition to
Appropriate More Money.
Replying to the application of the in
spector of rifle practice for a sum suffi-
cient to take eighteen men instead of
sixteen to the national rifle shoot at
FIT. Riley, Gov. Terrell declined to fur
ther increase the appropriation.
This will mean that only sixteen men
will go from Georgia. Favorable re-
plies have been received from a num-
Der of invitations sent out. 1t is prob
able that the full team will be an
nounced tomorrow. Twelve men will
compose the team. with four substi-
tutes.
The members of the team from Sa-
vannah will leave Monday morning for
FIT. Riley and will join the other MEM
bers of the team at Birmingham. They
will go via Nashville to st. Louis and
Kansas City, and will return via Mem
phis and Birmingham. Ten, or per-
haps twelve days, will be required for
the trip.
1t is expected that eight men will go
from Atlanta and the remainder from
Macon and Atlanta. The shoot will be
held Aug. 27-2S. The Georgia team will
arrive a few days before the shoot so
that they can use the national rifle
for little practice work.

EXCELSIOR FACTORY
HAS LOCATED HERE
Southern Manufacturing Company,
with Capital of $4,000.

A new excelsior factory will be start
deal having been closed yesterday for
the lease of the old lampblack fac
tory property, owned by Mrs. w. c..
Smallwood. The factory will be To-
Gated on the Seaboard Air Line.
The following gentlemen are inter
ested in the factory: Mr.. F. B. Stubs,
of the Granger-Stubbs Lumber Com
pany; Mr.. j A. Under, president of
the Wrightsville Bank Mr.. Julius Co
hen, president of the Sandersville Bank.
The new company will be known as
the Southern Manufacturing Company
and will be capitalized at $4,000. The
excelsior is manufactured by a special
process and will be of the highest
grade. The output will be ten tons a
day.
Mr.. II. L. Blanchard, of New Or
leans, who will be the superintendent
of the new plant has been in the city
for the last ten days and with the as
sistance of Secretary Donlan, of the
Chamber of Commerce, has been quiet
ly working to obtain a suitable loca-
ton. Mr.. Blanchard has had many
years experience in this kind of work.
In speaking of the plant, Mr.. Blanch-
ard said:
1--WE will manufacture excelsior of a
very high grade by a new process from
pine. cotton wood and cypress. Our
business will be principally coastwise
and for export. We have leased the
property with an option to purchase.
1--WE will begin the work of clearing
for the foundation tomorrow, and by
oct. /. we expect to be in. operation.
The demand for excelsior is in excess
of the supply and we will have no
difficulty in placing our entire output
of ten tons per day. We will ship TO
Europe as well as TO coastwise ports,
and to interior points.
1.-THE new company has ample capt.
tai behind II. as Is evident from the
names given. We were attracted to
Savannah by the exceptional shipping
facilities by water and the low freight
rates"

AUTOMOBILE CRASHED
INTO LOADED CAB.
Charles Seller and Negro Driver
Were Hurt in Collision.

Charles Seller and Negro Driver
Were Hurt in Collision.
In smash-up on Estill avenue, near
the Fair Grounds, about 8 o'clock last
night, in which an automobile and a
cab were involved Mr.. Charles Seller,
who was running the auto, was in
jured. George Robinson, the negro
driver of the vehicle, was also badly
bruised.
The automobile driven by Mr.. Seller
was returning from Thunderbolt. The
cab was being driven by George Rob
inson, colored, and inside of the We
hicle were James Quinn and a COM
panion.
Both vehicles were coming. towards
the city when the Automobile was
driven too near the cab, catching the
wheel. The auto and the cab were
both overturned. Mr.. Seller was
caught under the machine, while the
occupants of the carriage were thrown
against the roof of their vehicle.
Quinn and his companion quickly
extricated themselves from the cab,
and rescued Mr.. Seller by lifting the
machine sufficiently for him to get out.
Within a very short time after the
accident, Mr.. James Van Berschott

to render assistance. He telephoned
to Mr.. t. A. Bryson and suggested
that he send a machine and a physi-
clan. Acting on the suggestion, Mr..
Bryson notified Dr. E. r. Corson of
the accident, and each started for the
scene in an automobile. superintendent
of Police Garfunkle and Mr. Tryon
also came along in automobiles, and
extended aid to the injured. Mr.. Seller
was taken to his home, on Bull street,
by DR.. Corson. He was cut twice on
the face and his back was sprained.
The cuts were sewed up by DR. Cor
son and the injuries are not regarded
as serious.
The cab was driven by George Rob
inson, colored, and by the force of
the automobile impact he was thrown
from his seat to the ground. He was
cut on the head and face. Quinn and
his companion are uninjured, although
Quinn lost a valuable watch
The horse driven by the negro was
struck by the automobile and was so
badly hurt that it was found neces-
sary to shoot it. The automobile was
badly damaged, as was the cab.

government shall be established in the
islands.
Again the Republican party is TO be
arraigned for its position on the social
equality of the races. I do not believe
the intelligent people of the North or
South desire to see social equality be-
tween the two races. The black man is
entitled to justice and we ought to try
to make him a better citizen. Give
him an equal protection with the white
man in the courts and also give him
fair treatment, but under no circum-
stances can we have intermarriage
and social equality between the two
races.
when the Republican convention
took a little white girl and a negro
boy and had them arm in arm lead the
procession on that occasion it was adj
vocating social equality, and such ac-
ton is to be condemned by the Amer
lean people. 1t was also against the
interests of both races. and was done
to control the negro vote in doubtful
states. But instead, it produced the
opposite effect in Illinois and Indiana"
Personality of Opponents.
Between the personality of the two
candidates there will be a wide range
of choice in the present race. Judge
Parker is a judicically tempered man
thoroughly prudent and conservative,
and a safe counsellor. Mr.. Roosevelt is
an impulsive man, and though of strict
integrity. he is regarded as unsafe to
have at the head of affairs
Coming TO a subject nearer to the
heart of the business interests Of Sa-
vannah than the election of either
Judge Parker or Mr.. Roosevelt, Senator
Bacon spoke of the proposition to
deepen the channel of the river from
Savannah to the sea.
On this subject Senator Clay was en-
thusiastic and was firmly of the opin
ion that at the coming session of Con-
gress an appropriation could be secured

ening the channel to the sea. Senator
Clay is a member of the commit

DECLARED NOT GUILTY
OF SERIOUS CHARGE.
Defendant Warned to Keep Away
from Little Girls.

from Little Girls.
Fred Smith. a colored youth. was
tried yesterday in the Superior Court,
charged with attempting criminal as
sault on little 9-year-ol colored girl.
There were some of the necessary ele-
ments of the crime missing, and the
jury found the defendant guilty only
of assault and battery.
Before imposing sentence, Judge Cam
asked the prisoner, if he had ever been
in trouble before. He replied he had
once served thirty days on the chain
gang for fighting, and with that ex-
ception had never been in trouble. He
stated to the court that he had met
the girl and she told him that she
was lost. and he had only taken her
home.
In imposing sentence, Judge Cam
said: Had the jury found you guilty
of the crime charged against you, I
should have sent you to prison for a
long term of years. AS it is l will let
you off this time with a light sem
tence and hope that this will be a
lesson to you. In the future keep
away from little girls, and you will
not get into trouble. The sentence of
the court is that you pay fine of
$40 or in lieu thereof serve thirty days
on the chaingang."

FATHER IN COURT
MAKES PLEA FOR BOY.
Judge Cam Let George Ford on
With Only $40 Fine.

Judge Cam Let George Ford OF
with Only $40 Fine.
George Ford, young colored boy
Is years of age, was yesterday found
guilty by "a trial jury in the Superior
Court of uttering a forged check He
was recommended to punishment as for
misdemeanor.
Ford is the boy who presented a
check for 81 to the Citizens Bank for
payment, knowing that it had been
forged by Cooker Williams. Williams
was convicted on Tuesday of forgery
and sentenced to pay a fine of $50 or
serve nine months on the gang.
Young Ford, when the verdict of the
jury was read. broke down and cried.
His counsel, Col. Robert L. Colding,
made plea to Judge Cam for light
sentence. When the boy was brought
into the court room for sentence, his
father, Rev. Y. G. Ford, appeared be-
fore the court and asked that mercy
be shown his boy
Rev. Ford stated that the boy had
never before been in trouble and that
he was not hard to manage. He stated
that he had always worked and had
not fallen until he began associating
with bad boys like Cooker Williams.
He promised if the sentence was made
light, to do all in his power to keep
the boy from continuing in his evil
ways. In sentencing young Ford, Judge
Cam said:
This is your first offense and your
father says that heretofore you have
been a good boy. l am going to give
you a very light sentence this time, and
hope that you will profit by this ex-
pertinent. The sentence of the court
is that you pay fine of $40 or in lieu
| thereof serve three months on the
clfaingang."
Judge Cam then instructed the father
to talk to the boy, and the old man fol-
lowed his son out into the sheriff's Of
flee, and talked earnestly with him on
the error of his ways for nearly half an
J hour. The fine will probably be paid
within the five DAYS allowed by law.

cratic party seems to be satisfied with
the nomination, and if we cannot elect
Judge Parker we could not have elect
ed anybody.
II believe all will agree that from
the time he became a candidate to this
day, he has not made a single mis-
take, and has undoubtedly grown
stronger in public favor all the while.
Heretofore the business element of
the country seems to have been against
us in the North. 1t would appear now
that this element is against Mr. Roose-
welt, and in favor of Judge Parker. 1t
seems to be conceded that Parker
stands better chance of carrying New
York, but he must have more states.
New Jersey ought to go Democratic,
for nominally ii is a Democratic state,
as is also Connecticut.
But we have got TO have more STILL
either Indiana or West Virginia or
Wisconsin. There will undoubtedly be
a battle royal in those states that pre-
sent an equal chance.
Fight should BE Conferred.
"Of coudse, it will depend largely
upon the management of the party
during the campaign. The fight in
my opinion ought to be conferred in
three or four doubtful states.
ut is of vast importance to the
country that Congress should be DEM
ocratic. Both branches are Republi-

of years. and il has hence been i'm
possible 10 secure an investigation of
the various departments in Washing

THE postal scandals have not been
thoroughly investigated. The Demo-
Gratis demanded an investigation, but
the Republicans refused it,.
I'VE cannot expect the Senate to be
Democratic, but the House may be,
and should the House become Dem
ocratic, and elect a Democratic speak
er, an intelligent, Woodworking commit
tee can be appointed to take up thor
ough investigation of the Navy, War
and Postofiice Departments.
Good government demands a change
of party. Habits of extravaganza and
corruption have become almost es-
tablished things. our war expenditures
have nearly trebeled In the last eight
years, the navy expenditures increas-
ed five fold and the postofiice nearly
doubled. The total expenses Of the gov
