cHINKS ON JOURNEY
TO THEIR BlRTH-LAND.
Jung Ling Has Ended His Term OF
Confinement Here.

Jung Ling Has Ended His Term OF
Confinement Here.
The end has come to the confinement
of Jung Ling, an Acknowledged celes-
tial, as far as the Chatham county Jail
Is concerned.
Yesterday morning he babe farewell
to his fellow prisoners and in the Gus
tody of Deputy Marshal J. Ben Wilson
began the long journey TO Chinkland
At Macon he will be met by one other
Chink and at Augusta two more will
join the procession that is to wend its
way to the land of the upside-down.
At Atlanta all Chinks who entered
this country minus a permit and a
chatchi, and who sought to make their
home in the northern district of the
United States court in Georgia will be
gathered together. 1t will be a mot
ley gathering of good Chinks, bad
Chinks and Indifferent Chinks. A
catalogue is impossible, as the wiley
Chinaman changes his name faster
than the fastest printers can get the
letters into type. But the reports state
there are plenty of them, all seeming
ly anxious to get back to the realm of
the Empress Dowager.
From Atlanta the excursion party
will journey to Norfolk and there the
few remaining members of the race
who are doomed to go back, will be
gathered together After the first in
formal reunion the company will be
whisked across the continent and ship
ped from Frisco to China. And then
will the troubles of the prosecuting at
torneys, marshals and inspectors be
ended for a time and the Chinks that
remain will no longer be compelled to
practice legerdemain with the names.

NEGRO SUSPECTS
PASSED MUSTER
MISS LYMAN SAW ACCUSED.
FAILED To IDENTIFY MEN AT
COUNTY JAIL.

WadIey and Patterson Were Taken
Before Young Lady-Scrutinfzed
WadIey Very Closely and Seemed
to Hesitate, But Finally Said She
Was Positive He Was Not the Man.
Passed Patterson Over With a
Cursory Glance.
Accompanied by her father, brother
and young lady friend, Miss Eloise
Lyman, went to the County Jail, yes
terday morning for the purpose of
Identifying the two negroes, Will Wad-
ley and Will Patterson, one of whom
was suspected as being the man who
entered the Lyman home some weeks
ago. After looking both men over care
fully Miss Lyman said she did not be-
lieve either of the suspects was the
same she saw in her room.
Miss Lyman was visibly affected
when the prisoners were ordered
brought into the Jail office, but when
they were placed before her side by
side she was calm.
At a glance she passed Patterson
over, but scrutinized wadley very
closely. He had on the same clothes
that he wore when arrested.
Miss Lyman said he looked very much
like the man who held a pistol in her
face and commanded her to silence,
but she did not believe he was the
man. She finally stated positively
Wadley was not the man.
According to Miss Lynah's minute
description of the negro whom she said
she would have recognized anywhere
Wadley was believed to be the guilty
man, without a doubt. He had been
seen around in the vicinity of the
Lyman home, was dressed as described
by Miss Lynah had a pistol, was of
the same stature and had a slight mus
tach.
When asked if she thought she would
recognize the man We're she to see
him now, Miss Lyman stated she would
have known him in minute If she
had seen him directly after the af-
fair, but she was not positive whether
she would know him now.
Neither of the negroes displayed any
concern while being scrutinized by Miss
Lyman, but Wadley breathed a sigh
of relief when she finally shook her
head and stated he was not the man.
Wadley is held for carrying conceal
ed weapons and Patterson is being held
for burglary.

BOY WHO SHOT GUN
WAS JUSTIFIED.
Evidence Showed He shot mt Me-
grOes In His Own Defense.

Evidence Showed He ShOt mt Me-
groes In His Own Defense.
Without a moments hesitation or the
perceptible culver of a single muscle,
Milton Brannen. the 1S-year-old boy who
week ago emptied the contents of a
shotgun at James Dwight, some of the
shot taking effect in the face and
neck, and stray shot striking Mack
Thompson, a bystander, in the back
took the stand in Police Court yester-
day morning and made a most unusual
statement for a boy of his years.
Brannen made practically the same
statement he made when first arrested
He said he was being rocked" by
a number of negro boys, and as he was
outnumbered four or five to one, he
ran into the house, got the gun and
threatened to shot if the negroes did
not desist. They kept throwing stones
and jeered at him, yelling, Shoot,
shoot'-"and l shot," he said.
Young Brennan was unusually
straightforward and manly in his
statement. He said he believed he
would have been seriously injured if
he had not secured the gun and fired
at the crowd. He said he would do the
same thing again if the negroes both
cred him. After hearing the statement
of eye witnesses the Recorder dis
charged young Brannen.

The FIRST Question People Ask


When a man dies, is. how much life
insurance did he have? This question
is the natural interest that is mani
tested in the welfare of the bereaved
family. Would it not be well for you
to ask yourself this question: Have
you enough life insurance? If not, is
it not your duty to attend to the
matter without further delay? Thou
sands of men accounted good finan-
ciers are kept afioat by their ability
and energy-that is, the stream of
money coming in is kept equal to that
going out. While the man lives this is
well; but at his death the power that
drives the machinery is stopped, the
supply is cut off and all demands are
presented for payment-often for pro-
test-and the wife and children must
take what is left. A policy of life in
surance in the Massachusetts Mutual
takes care of them as no other provi-
sion can. With such a policy a man is
absolutely certain that at his death
his family is provided for, and in the
event of a ngency-inability to
longer continue-his every equity is
secured to him under the beneficent
laws of the commonwealth of Massa-
chusetts. These policies guarantee to
every policy-holder of a Massachusetts
company either cash settlement or
paid-up insurance, in addition to
which the law secures him his divi-
dends each year. 1t is to your interest
to examine into the plans of the Mas
sachusetts Mutual before entering in
to a contract for life insurance. 1t is
the leading Massachusetts company
and pays good dividends to policy
holders. 1t will cost you nothing for
information, a specimen policy and an
extract of the insurance laws of Mas
sachusetts will be sent you on appli-
cation. Address Harry & Apple, man

Action of Grand Jury Has Hurried
Up Many DeIinquents.
There was a great deal more taxpay-
ing yesterday.
Practically everyone Of those who
were indicted for their delinquency
were served with bench warrants.
In every case bond was promptly fur
nished, and in the majority of cases
the amount of taxes was paid.
This has done much to clear up the
books and paid" has been stamped
opposite some names that had prac-
tieally been put in the column where
Despair is the headline.
Many who were not indicted also
hurried to the office and paid. They
remembered there are other grand jul
ries still to come, and that these may
see fit to follow in the footsteps of
their immediate predecessors and hand
down a bunch of indictments. And
they reasoned that it is always cheaper
to pay the taxes alone than to pay
them plus the costs of the court in a
prosecution for misdemeanor offense

METER INSPECTOR
FOR NEXT YEAR
ORDINANCE AGREED UPON.
WILL BE INTRODUCED AT NEXT
COUNCIL MEETING.

Alderman GarfunkeI, Chairman of
the Water Committee, Will be
Father to the New Ordinance-Gas
and Electric Companies Must Pay
~ Cents for Inspection of Every
New Meter-HOw Consumers win
Go About Having Meters Tested.
An ordinance creating the Office of
Meter Inspector will be introduced at
the next meeting of City Council by
Alderman A. ]. Garfunkel, chairman
of the Water Committee. n
The provisions Of the ordinance have
all been agreed upon, except that it
has not been decided whether the in
spector will be paid a salary, d, or
whether one of the men now in the
Water Department will be required to
do the work. In any event the in
spector will be in the water depart
ment.
The new official will be required to
test electric as we'll as gas meters,
but in every case a fee will be charged.
This fee will be collected in advance
by the city treasurer. The ordinance
viii require the inspection of all new
meters and a fee of 25 cents will be
charged in each case, to be paid by
the gas or electric company.
When a consumer makes complaint
about a meter he will be required to
visit the office of the city treasurer
and pay so cents. For this sum he
will receive an order on the meter in
spector requiring him to make the de-
sired tests.
In the event it is found by the in
spector that the consumer had grounds
for charging his meter was not work.
ing properly, and it is found in bad
shape by the inspector, he will give
the consumer certificate relating
these facts. This certificate will then
be cashed by the city treasurer for so
cents, and the company owning the
meter viii have to foot the bill.
Alderman Garfunkel has been at
work on the ordinance for some little
while. 1t will cost the city. he has
found. between $500 and $500 for ma
chimes for testing both gas and cleo
trio meters. 1t is expected, however,
that the city will soon get this back in
fees, and at the same time will pro-
vide the public with some protection.
Alderman Garfunkel has found that
such inspections are made in other
cities, and that the plan works well.
