Permitted to Leave
Town After Set
Ting Bills
ACCUSED OF COLLISION WITH TWO
JUDGES TO AWARD BELT
TO GRlMSLEY
Mr.. Richard Thomson:

| have the honor and pleasure in be-
half of the Rough Riders association
of the Western Slope of Colorado to
present you with this beautiful tro-
ply, awarded to you at a fair and i'm
partial competition. by not only the
cent contest.
The strenuous test of rough riding
is of more Importance than is generally
conceded. 1t is the training school
of cavalry, the graduates of which are
uneXcelled in the world and cavalry
is more important factor in the af-
fairs of man than many believe The
boundaries of nations. as they now eX-
list, have been located principally, or
at least in great measure by caval-
ry. Two thousand years ago; aye,
over 1000 years ago at the battle of
Arbella, 1000 horsemen decided the
conflict in which over million of men
were engaged and placed the whole
world at the feet of Alexander the
Great and had it not been for the coy
cred way at Waterloo, the cavalry of
Napoleon would have changed the
map of Europe, and more recently, in
our times, rough riders, under the
leadership of the distinguished citizen
who is now our president, added glory
and honor to our flag and nation.
Take this trophy, then, and wear it
with pride, and be proud of your skill
as rider. Keep it until won from you
in as fair a competitive trial as the
one in which you won it. All of your
competitors should be proud of the
skill exhibited by them at the recent
trial, and | am proud to present you
the belt.
The Glenwood post., 1904-09-03

These We're the words spoken by
Major DeLan who presented the
Rough Riders Championship belt to
the winner at Hotel Glenwood Mon
day. There is contained in these few
words much food for thought and
they contain suggestions of wider ap-
plication than the mere pleasure to be
derived from witnessing the feats of
horsemanship performed by rough rid
ers in their efforts to entertain the
public.
Richard Thomson of Aspen, was
awarded the championship belt in the
broncho busting contest of Saturday
and Sunday after considerable trouble
with the judges and promoters of the
contest. 1t was apparent that deal
had been fixed up between two of the
Judges and Blakely and Grimsley,
whereby Grimsley was to have the
decision regardless of merit Every
thing went smoothly until it came time
for the judges to render decision and
the trouble began when NJ. McNichols,
OF Aspen, one OF the judges, was about
To give an immediate award of the
belt and the prize of $50 to Thomson,
but the other two judges who, it is
claimed, had been fixed, desired to
hold the decision and give it in sealed

choice and suggested that there was
some rotten work going on. That this
work was not confined entirely to the
proposition of securing the belt again
for Grimsley was evidenced later by
the attempt of Blakely and Grimsley
to get away with the entire proceeds
OF the two days without paying any of
the prizes or settling other bills that
had been incurred.
AS the couple We're about to depart
from town the sheriff was called ,,pon
To take hand and as result both
Grimsley and Blakely were placed in
the county Jail over Sunady night and
Monday until late in the afternoon.
The money had been taken from them
and used for the purpose of settling
all bills and last years accounts were
not barred, so that If anybody who
hal accounts against the contest last
year Were not paid in full it was the
fault of the creditor in not presenting
the bill.
Indignation was running high and 1t
was probably better for Messrs. Grims
ley and Blakely that they were taken
out of sight of the mob that was gath
ering on the streets when the couple
was arrested.

HOW TO GET RICH.
Lesson 3, Chapter 2.

Two or three lessons on How to Get
Rich" was all that was intended when
the series began, but so much is to be
said about real estate in Savannah, the
subject has grown, and it will require
several more before the interesting top
ic is fully elucidated.
Practical illustrations showing what
another man has done upon the same
lines is an effective way of impression
upon the mind of another man what
he may do.
Some years since a young business
man was walking up, or down, street,
and met an older man. The younger
mans face had a look of anxiety. The
party whom he met said: John what's
the trouble, you look as though you are
either short of money, or have more
than you can use in your business"
The younger man replied, II am bet
ter off than ever before in my life; out
of debt and with a thousand dollars in
bank" well. If being out of debt
worries you, you had better go in debt
Buy something and get rid of your
cash." So the younger man sought
a real estate man, and inquired what
he had for sale. He was told that there
were four nice lots which could be
bought for 5000 each.
The would-be purchaser thought the
price very steep, but after haggling
awhile, bought the four lots at the price
asked and paid his $1,000, on account,
giving notes at six, twelve and eighteen
months for the unpaid balance. He
met his obligations as they became
due from the profits derived from his
business. He held the lots for ten
years, and then sold them for an aver
age of $4,000 apiece. He says (he is
still here) that out of the $4,000 he
received for the property $4,000 was
clear profit, and he would not have
saved the other s1,400. that he gave
notes for and afterwards paid, had he
not run in debt!
OF course it is folly to run in debt
unless you see where the money to
pay your indebtedness is coming from,
but if you see way to make money
by mourning debt, it is just as great
a folly not to take the chance.
Real estate is not like other riches,
which sometimes take wings and fly
away" You can never make a total
loss, or worse than total loss. like
those who invest Cd in cotton futures
and other purchases on margins. A
lot on Thirty-ninth street, east, may
be nest egg to future fortune in
real estate. If you don't like Thirty
ninth street, buy lot somewhere.

earth!-ad.

ship on its first voyage to be saluted
from the mouth of the river to rs dock

a whistle. or a flag, and these nonors
will probably be rendered the City of

for them on this occasion than usual
as the new ship is the largest that will
ply out of this port on a regular sched-
ulG.
The City of Columbus will sail again
for New York Monday. and will carry
a large passenger list, as many per-

on 1t. and many others will be received
within the next few days. Several Sa-

ship, and it is expected that several
officers of the Ocean Steamship Com

FEELINGS INJURED
IN LADIES' PRESENCE.
But Damage Suit Against Trolley
Company Was Dismissed.

In the Superior Court yesterday the
damage suit brought against the Sa-
vannah Electric Company by Haywood
c. Struggled. was dismissed on mo-
ton OF the attorneys for the plaintiff.
Twiggs q Oliver. Damages in the sum
of $1,000 had been asked. The circum-
stances of the case. which are rather
unusual, were as follows, as alleged in
the libel OF the complainant:
Struggled, in company of his broth
er and another gentlemen, boarded a
car OF the electric company. When the
conductor came through the car for his
fares the brother of the complainant
gave him quarter, expecting to pay
all three fares. The conductor return
ed him 20 cents change. The gentle
man who was with the two String
fields then gave the conductor 10
cents and received a nickel in change.
The conductor then asked Struggled
for his fare and was told by the COM
plainant, according 70 his allegations,
that his brother had paid the fare in
question. This the conductor denied
and demanded the fare. Before the
matter was settled. according to the al
legations. the conductor became abu-
sive and informed Struggled that I'M
less he paid the fare he would be put
of the car.
Under protest the fare was then paid.
1t is alleged that in the car at the time
were several ladies. friends and ac-
quaintances of the complainant and
that the words of the conductor hui
inflated the plaintiff and injured his
feelings greatly. For this injury he
asked damages in the sum of $1,000.

GEORGIA CAR COMPANY

Is willing TO BE Adjudged Bank

Through its attorneys, OConnor
O'Byrne & Hartridge, the Georgia Car
and Manufacturing Company yester-
day morning filed its answer TO the
bankruptcy proceedings instituted
against it by J. r. Johnson & Co. and
others.
The answer admits all the aver
ments made by the petitioner and
states that the company is willing to
be adjudged bankrupt under the com
plant. The following is the complete
text Of the answer.
And now the said Georgia Car and
Manufacturing Company appears by
its attorneys O'Connor. O'Byrne
q Hartridge, and for answer TO the
petition filed by j. r. Johnson & Co.
et al, in this honorable court, TO have
it adjudged bankrupt admits all the
averments alleged in the said petition,
and its willingness TO be declared
bankrupt hereunder"
The short answer and the absence of
any contest. Will come as a surprise to
those who have followed the case.
Under the management of Receiver
Galloway the company was rapidly
regaining its feet and IL was thought
that il would not be adjudged bank
rupt. An attempt, as published in the
Morning News was made to again
place the company on a solid basis and
TO thus escape bankruptcy proceedings.
The matter now lies entirely with
Judge Speer. Should the company give
evidence of having entirely regained
its prestige by the time the case comes
before him for action. it is probable
arrangements viii be made with the
creditors and the company continue its
business. The opposite course, how
ever. may be pursued, and the Savan-
nah concern adjudged 10 be bankrupt.

ready COmpIeted-Estimat That
Three Years VIII he Required to
Complete the Work.
BY a committee of the grand jury,
the County Commissioners, and
number of invited guests, the Pipe
maker canal was inspected yesterday.
The Grand Jury Committee will
formulate it's report at once, the re-
port stating that everything was found
in good condition and that work is
progressing satisfactorily.
The following composed the party
which made the inspection: Grand
Jurors A. c. Harmon, A. c. Guerard.
p. H. Levy, D. Y. Dancy, and T. H.
McMillan; County Commissioners F. 5.

accompanied the inspection party:
Mayor Herman Myers, Aldermen James
NJ. Dixon, ex-Alderman w. ]. Wat
son, Solicitor General w. w. Osborne.
Rev. Gilbert A. Ottman and several
others.
The party proceeded at once to the
section through which the big drainage
canal is being cut, and the ground was
carefully gone over. Every facility
had been arranged for making the trip
MI i
returned in the evening, one and all
stated that the trip had been most en-
joyable.
The Pipemaker Canal.
The Pipemaker canal is being dug
TO drain that section of land lying be-
tween Pooler and BlOomingdale and
Savannah, and between the pike and
the river. The area to be drained rep
resents tract of land containing more
than twenty-five square miles.
The canal begins at the Pooler ter
minus Of the swamp and runs in a
northerly direction toward Savannah.
In rough, it will follow the line of
the Augusta and Louisville road, at
the proper place turning westward and
emptying into the Savannah river.
When complete the canal will be
about nine miles long, and by means
of the pipes, etc, running out from
It the entire area will be drained, and
:he large tract of land reclaimed The
piece of work is one of the most i'm
portant that has been carried out in
some time.
Nearly One-Third Completed.
Nearly one-th third of the entire
length of the canal has been completed
and is ready for use. The work was
started about a year ago and for al
most the entire year a force of men
has been kept constantly working up
on it.
At present ninety-two of the con-
victs are working on the canal and, if
possible, this force will not be de-
creased. Every appliance is given for
rapid work and the completion of the
canal is being pushed rapidly forward.
1t is estimated. allowing for no delays
which may be caused by bad weather,
or other hindrances, that the canal
will be completed in about three more
years.
All of those who went on the in
spection trip expressed themselves as
we'll pleased with the progress that is
being made in the effort to reclaim
the large acreage of swamp-land.
