year by the Louisville and Nashville

growing trees in this soil has proved
so FAR to be decided success. It was

NEW TRIAL WAS DENIED.
Judge Cam Rules That Life Sen.
tence Must Be Served.

Judge Cam yesterday heard the ar
gument of counsel for defense in the
case of the state. against Nick McIn-
tosh, convicted of attempted car
wrecking and sentenced to life i'm
prisonment, on the motion made for
a new trial in the case. The motion
has been hanging in the court for sew
eral weeks. Judge Cam denied the
new trial.
Mcintosh is the colored man who, 1t
is alleged, attempted to wreck a Thun-
derboH car of the Savannah Electric
Company, by placing a plank across
the trestle near Bonaventure Gene
terry. A conviction was secured on
circumstantial evidence. though the
evidence was so convincing it left lit
tie doubt in the minds of any who
heard it. No recommended ton was re-
turned by the jury and this, coupled
with the previous bad record of the
defendant. drew him the heaviest sem
tence that the law allowed to be i'm
posed. At the time he imposed sem
tence Judge Cam severely lectured the
prisoner.
1t is not probable that an appeal will
be taken to the Supreme Court, the
general feeling being that sufficient
has already been done for the man,
and that furthermore such an appeal
would not be availing toward securing
a new trial.

ELSIE B0STICK DIED
AT MILLEDGEvlLLE.

A letter was received yesterday in the
Court of Ordinary from the superin-
tendent of the insane asylum at Mil
ledgeville stating that Elsie Bostick,
colored, had died there and had been
given Christian burial. Elsie was
sent to the asylum for treatment from
this county, and had been in the in
stitution for less than a year.
Elsie was better known as "the
woman who went to heaven via the
Chatham Court of Ordinary When
the deputy sheriff who had taken her
in custody marched her up the Court
House she spied the heavy gates be-
fore the building and exclaimed that
they were the gates ajar." Later she
saluted Judge McAlpin as the worthy
st. Peter and was continually confus-
ing the clerks and other officials of
the court with the seven ranks of an

CAPT. LYMAN IN CHARGE
OF RECRUITING OFFICE.

Capt. McKeIvey Has Been Trans
ferred to Another station.
Capt McKelvey, who has been in
charge of the recruiting office for the
United States Marine Corps in Sa-
vannah, has been transferred to an
other station, and Capt. C. H. Lyman
will arrive the latter part of the week
to enter upon his duties as captain in
charge.
Very few applicants are at present
offering themselves for enlistment in
the Marine Corps, but as there are
only 1913 men needed to bring the
corps up to the required strength, the
recruiting officers are not at all
alarmed at the situation.
The government has never had much
trouble in keeping the corps at its re-
quired strength, as it is one of the
best branches of the service, and on
account of the numerous applications
for enlistment one of the requirements
in the physical examination has been
changed. An applicant now has to
be five feet six inches in hight where
as the rule has been five feet four
inches. This change has made it pos
sible for the recruiting officers to keep
the corps to the required strength,
without being overrun with applicants.

SAVANNAH PROOF.

]. w. Hyatt, grocer, of 42o William

the use of Doan's Kidney Pills than
from any other medicine ever used
for my back and kidneys. My back
was weak and ached constantly for a
couple of years past. I am on my feet
all day, and my back was the only
part about me that would not hold
out. In the morning I arose with
backache and went to bed with it and
could not sleep well, but would lie
awake with a feeling as If my back
was coming apart. The kidneys were
irregular in action and caused me
much bother. The first day after 1

this money came from the people for

REV. A. M. WILLIAMS TO
LEAVE TRINITY CHURCH.

But Not on Account of Any Differ
ence with His Presiding Elder.
At the South Georgia annual con-
ference at McRae next week Rev. A.
NJ. Williams, pastor of Trinity Metho-
dist Church, will ask that he be not
returned to his Savannah pastorate.
When asked last night about his leav-
ing Trinity Church, Rev. Mr.. Williams
said:
THE statement in the Savannah
Press as to my leaving Trinity at the
end of the year is liable of miscon-
struction. My going is at my own re-
quest, with no lack of appreciation of
the church congregation or city. In a
desire to see the great movements
looking to enlarged usefulness of that
grand old church placed on a more
substantial basis, thought it would
for its best interest for me to be left
out of the discussion of it's plans for
another year. This alone was the cause
of my request to be relieved of
the charge. On some financial details
the presiding elder and myself had diff
ferent opinions. These did not In the
least affect our relations. We are the
best of friends, as well as Christian
brethren. l have for him much admit
ration as well as strong affection, and
/ have no doubt he would gladly have
renominated me for Trinity, except for
my request.
My future is in the hands of the
conference" said Mr.. Williams, land
my submission to its decisions in every
respect will be that of a thoroughly
loyal Methodist preacher For several
years l have been greatly troubled in
speaking on account of chronic hoarse-
ness, induced by too much speaking
under unfavorable conditions. This
may lead, with the consent of the con-
ference, to my retiring from the active
pastorate, but never from the minis
try, to which l am greatly devoted"

bridge is without a peer in her section
of the state. Numerous charters for
various manufacturing enterprises are
being granted every day, and already
the busy hum of machinery is heard
in many factories on the outskirts of
the city. The city has increased its
population 60 per cent. in the last 1--WE
years, and the commercial and dwell
ing houses that are now being erected
speak well for the continued increase
in population"
Mr.. Armstrong says the prosperity
of cambridge is due largely to its be-
ing situated in one of the most fertile
and productive sections of the state.
Tobacco is one of the largest produc-
lions in its section, and within a few
miles of cambridge the largest tobacco
plantation in the world is operated.
This plantation was recently awarded
by the Universal Exposition at St.

finest texture of Sumatra wrapper

The Imp Hoax.

This braZen imposture on the credu-
lily of the English public was the result
of wager between the Duke of Mon
tague and another nobleman in 1749.
In discussing the amazing gullibility
of the English people the former de-
clared that if one We're to advertise it
well that he would jump into a quart
bottle all London would go to see him
do it. The wager being made, an adj
vertisement was inserted in all of the
leading papers promising that the feat
would be performed on a certain date
at the Haymarket theater. On the APP
pointed day the theater was packed
from pit to dome, and many hundreds
were turned from the doors. The sup
posed magician appeared on the stage
and had the temerity to state that if
the audience would pay double the
price he would enter a pint bottle,
shown on the stage table, instead of
the quart flask, as furnished. He then
hurriedly escaped by the stage door.
A riot resulted, in which the theater
was badly wrecked, and the duke and
his companion had to leave town until
the excitement was we'll over.
