PATR0LMAN'S BULLETS
FAILED TO STOP NEGRO.

Supposed Effort to Rob Chasmar-
King Co. Discovered by Omeer.
Patrolman Reisen fired five shots at
negro. who is supposed to have
broken into the warehouse of the Chas-
marking Supply Company, early this
morning. The warehouse is located on
the floor below the level of the street
at Factors Walk and Barnard street.
AS the patrolman was making his
round about 1 o'clock he saw negro
put his head above the level of the
street as he came up the stairway
leading from the walk below. The pa
trolman called to the man to halt, but
the negro 'ducked" instead.
Reisen fired three shots at the fugi-
tive, then hurried down the stairway
and fired two more. but the man dis
appeared and, in the inky darkness of
the alley, 1t was impossible to see
where he went. The shots and the
patrolman's whistle attracted to the
scene the Waterman from the rice mill,
who brought a lantern.
An examination was made to see II
the negro had been hit by any of the
bullets, and also to see what his bust
ness had been in the vicinity. 1t was
then found that the door of the sup
ply company was open. A lot of val
liable stock was in the place, but
whether any of it had been carried
off the officers were unable to deter
mine.

CAPT. H. E. WILSON
LEAVES COMPANY C.
Pressure of Business Made 1t Inn
possible to Hold Office.


Capt. H. Emmett Wilson of Company
C, Guards, has resigned his office with
that command.
The resignation was forwarded to
Maj. w. w. Williamson of the bat
talon several days ago, and has been
sent to the Governor, who, however,
has not yet accepted it.
Capt. Wilson was forced to leave the
company because of the heavy demand
on his time made by his business, and
other affairs in which he is interested.
He has been in command of the COM
pany for about a year.
A date for the election Of a successor
to the retiring captain will not be set
until later. The other officers of the
company are First Lieutenant r. j.
Travis, and Second Lieutenant A.
Pratt Adams. Should the election re-
suit in promotions all along the line
these would become respectively cap
tain and first lieutenant, leaving the
place of second lieutenant to be flled
by the election of some non-commis-
stoned officer, First Sergeant ]. E.
Taylor being the one in line for the
place, or by the selection Of an officer
from some other command.

FORCED TO WASH
BY THE RECORDER.
CRbmRn Given Thirty Days and a
Bath as Well.

CabmRn Given Thirty Days and a
Bath as Well.
Working in conjunction with the
health department, but seemingly hav-
ing it in for the waterworks. Recorder
Myrick yesterday morning, sentenced a
prisoner to not only serve thirty days,
but to take a bath as we'll
Bath is a polite word for washing,
although the Recorder was by no
means choice in what he said. The
unfortunate who had to submit to the
indignity of being washed in prison,
was Peter c. Brown, a white cab
driver known as REILLY Brown"
Brown was down and out when pick
ed UP by a patrolman on Broughton
street during the early morning hours.
According to the statement of the Off
Ger Brown must have fought hooze I'M
til he was exhausted. Then he drop
ped to the asphalt and forgot his trou-
bles.
When the rude uniformed man
aroused him Brown at first feared he
had been attacked by cake of Sapo-
lilo, little dreaming, when he did real
lie that he was under arrest, that later
he was to go up against the wash tub.
The washing was administered in the
county Jail.

RAISING VEGETABLES
IN SAVANNAH.
Eighth of an Acre Produces Abund-
ance of Vegetables.

Eighth of an Acre Produces Abund-
ance of Vegetables.
A practical demonstration is being
made by Mr.. John Flathmann, who
runs a grocery store at Whitaker and
Thirty-second streets, to show that
truck can be raised successfully in the
city.
Mr.. Flathmann has one-elghth of an
acre planted, and besides furnishing
his family with all the vegetables that
they will desire he claims he will be
able to market some of his product.
On the small patch of ground he has
planted beans, peas, onions, kali, beets,
radishes, carrots, Irish potatoes, toma-
toes and oats. His radishes and
onions are now ready for market and
II will only be few weeks when he
will be getting all the potatoes that
can be used by his family. Mr.. Flath-
mann says he planted the land in or
der to have something to do at idle
moments. but the vegetables he will
gather will save him many dollars this
season.
The space which is taken up by the
garden is much smaller than the space
round in the average back yard. Mr..
Flathn1ann devotes only his spare mo-
ments to working the little farm" and
is confident that every man who has a
small back yard, and is willing to put
in a few hours work. can save the
money he pays out each year for vege-
tables. He claims that by the proper
work and attention a small track of
land, even less than an eighth of an
acre, will supply more vegetables than
any one family will be able to use.

BOLD FIREDUG
WORRIES POLICE
AFTER THE KENT PROPERTY
MADE ANOTHER EFFORT TO BURN
WEST BROAD ST. HOUSE.

Been Unable to Do Anything.
Fire of an incendlary origin was dis
covered shortly before 10 o'clock last
night in the house at No. HOG West
Broad street, owned by Alfred Kent.
The house is vacant and a barrel with
lot of paper. and possibly oil. had
been placed just under the edge of the

boarding. The fire was discovered in
time to prevent serious damage, and
to disclose the fact that it had been
set on fire.
Only about two months ago an ef-
fort was made to burn the adjoining
house. which is also owned by Mr..
Kent. About a year ago the store on
the corner, also the property of Mr..
Kent, was burned to the ground. 1t
is thought by the officers that some
one, who has a grudge against Mr..
Kent, is responsible for the frequent
fires.
The fire last night was discovered by
young man walking along West
Broad street. He fastened to McKen-
Zles grocery store, on the corner, and
telephone message was sent to police
headquarters. From there the firemen
were notified.
Fire Burned BrisIxIy.
Mr. Mckenzie and the young man
returned to the scene of the fire, which
had crawled up several feet on the
misunderstanding, and was burning
inside and out. Efforts were made
with buckets to put the flames out,
but they proved unavailing.
When the engines arrived, the
flames were burning briskly. The
firemen saw that the fire was the
work of an incendiary and a second
message was sent to police headquar-
tiers.
The superintendent and detectives
went to the scene at once and made
an investigation. There was no doubt
in the minds of any of those present
that the house had been set on fire

house that was on fire and the one
next door are unoccupied. and no one
could be found who had seen any one
about the premises.
Ftremen Broke House Open.
The fireman had to break open the
house to get at the flames, which had
eaten inside the Notwithstanding
The fire, however, was extinguished
soon after the firemen arrived, and
$50 wiz probably cover the loss.
While the superintendent and detec-
tives were clustered together discus
sing the case, and wondering who it
was that wanted to get rid of the
house, a young woman passed with her
mother, and remarked, SO that the Of
ficers could hear, THE old shack ought
to be burned down."
Young woman, you know not what
suspicious you are bringing on your
SELF" one officer whispered to another.
The girl of course did not know that
the house had been set on fire, or that
the men so close to her, were officers
of the law.

FIVE NEW MEMBERS
FOR CHATHAM ARTILLERY

Command Now Has More Than Num-
Der Required by State.
The Chatham Artillery received five
new members last night at it's weekly
meeting.
The report that the battery had been
placed on probation by Col. Obear, in
spector general of state troops, has
caused all those interested in the COM
mand to rally to it's support, and quite
a number of the veteran members have
offered to re-enlist If such an act on
their part would be of benefit to the
organization.
As the battery needed but four more
members TO have the number required
by the state. and as more than this
number were elected last night the vet
eran members will not have to be call
ed on though both the officers and the
men appreciate the offers of those who
are so anxious to be of service to the
old battery.
