THE discovery of that little error of

from one of the county towns, puts
the city and county on more equita-

something else before he gets

The last low tariff law, the Wilson
law. was repealed in July, 1897 An
official statement, prepared by the de-
partment Of agriculture, shows that
during the last year of the Wilson

OF Course Not.

David B. Hill stated, in one Of his
speeches, that Mr.. Roosevelt, on taking
the oath of office after the death of
President Mckinley, said that he would
not be a candidate for president in
1904.
President Roosevelt has never made
a promise as to his own personal ac-
ton. which he did not redeem. The
president is outspoken, fair and
square. These are characteristics OF
the man. He makes no promises he
does not intend to keep, and he keeps
such as he makes.
The silly story started by Hill had
no foundation in fact, and it is really
not worth the ink and paper that has
been used in denying it, except that it
once more marks the character of Hill

A THING WELL DONE
A Record That Recommends Roosevelt to
the Voters.

Record That Recommends Roosevelt to
the Voters.
The relations between capital and
labor in the United States are the ex-
fstent conditions which affect the vel
fare of many millions of people. The
relations between any administration
and the adjustment of these ques-
tons must necessarily be careful and
most delicate.
What has happened in this relation
under the administration of President
Roosevelt? What happened and what
made the ultimate result in the gigan-
tic miners strike in Pennsylvania
Who was it who devised, in a plain,
common-sense, American way, a solu-
ton of the problem which affected the
welfare of hundreds of thousands? OF
course that is ALL now, relatively, an
old story. The man who did this with
his common-sense was the present
candidate of the Republican party for
the presidency He ventures upon
things, and he does them we'll from a
straightforward, patriotic point Of
view.
1t is not good thing to bear in mind
that the record of what Theodore
Roosevelt did in connection with the
Pennsylvania labor troubles is one of
the greatest recommendation for his
election to the presidency? There was
delicate Situation-it was even q
question whether the president should
intervene or not. He did intervene,
with wholesome manliness, and the re-
suit was for the good of great mass
Of the people. Could there be a better
campaign document than the plain
story of what this man did in straight
ening out of relations between capital
and labor in Pennsylvania?
The Lone Fisherman.
It is only one of the curiosities Of an
America national campaign the result
of which is foreordained, but it
arouses more than slight degree of
interest. Where is the Lone Fisher
man, the man who has been twice
president of the United States? Where

tween the present time and the 9th Of
November?
What is he thinking about-this
Lone Fisherman, and what are his in
clinations? We are all interested in
him as we should be interested in any
ex-pres1dent of the United States, and
being interested, we have also a Curl
osity. What about Cleveland? Is that
portly and forceful old gentleman going
to have anything to do with politics
this year or is he simply intent upon
the consideration Of the subject of
lines, bait and all that sort of thing?
The impression seems to prevail, and
one apparently justified, that the sage
Of Princeton is not much interested in
the sage of EsOpus. The sage Of
Princeton has at least a certain cali

Still, we all want to know what the
Lone Fisherman is going to do.

CONVICTS FELLED
GUARD AND ESCAPED.
George Sapp Assaulted by Two
ChainganE Negroes Yesterday.

George Sapp Assaulted by Two
Chaingang Negroes Yesterday.
BY telling Convict Guard George
Sapp two changing negroes, Preston
Daniels and Arthur Williams, too long
term changing convicts, escaped from
custody about l o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon. Though pursuit was at once
started at a late hour last night the
men had not been re-caStured.
The two convicts in custody of Guard
Sapp were slightly separated from the
rest of the gang, when the assault
was made. Daniels, who is an old
changing bird and thoroughly famil-
lar with the habits of the guards,
watched his chance and struck the
guard over the head, telling him in
stantly. The guards gun was then
taken and both negroes escaped in the
underbrush.
At the time the affair created con-
siderable excitement among the other
members of the gang, but the other
guards kept them well in hand. With
out loss of time pursuit was institut-
ed. Sapp was brought to the city
and given medical attention and it
was given out that he is not badly
injured.
Daniels was doing a threeyear sem
tence. He had served about a year
of his time and is recognized as a
desperate negro. Williams has but
one leg, but in spite of this handicap
he gets about easily, aided by a wood
ed leg He, too, is looked upon as
a dangerous man.

LOTS ARE TOO SMALL
IN SOUTHERN SECTION.
Col. Mercer Wishes Attention Paid to

Col. Mercer Wishes Attention Paid to
beauty of savannah.
At the close of the meeting of the
Georgia Historical Society last night
President George A. Mercer called the
attention of the society to the need
of taking an interest in the beauty
of Savannah. In speaking of the mat
ter Col Mercer called attention to the
small frontage of the lots in the south
ern section of the city.
Every afternoon that 1 ride around
the belt" he said, Il notice the small
lots, a positive disgrace to the city.
There is positively no excuse for such
state of affairs, as there is plenty
of land there. l am given to under
stand that the lots are so small that
1t Is impossible to build a real home
upon any one of them.
1T is only the greed of the land
spectators which makes this state of
affairs possible. The land in that Sec
ton is good for nothing except to
build on and the appearance of the
city Is being absolutely spoiled by the
crowding together of a number of lit
tie houses. Yet those who buy the
lots have no choice in the matter, but
must content themselves with what
the land spectators sell them"
Col Mercer also argued for the
maintenance of a building line instead
of allowing houses to be built just
where the builders saw fit. He also
stated that it would greatly improve
the appearance of the city and lower
the expenses if the blocks were length
ened and many of the practically use
less short streets closed up.

PLANS FOR C0ALING

New Plant VIII Handle Only the
Best of Coal for SteRming.

Best of Coal for SteRming.
The plans for the coaling station
of the Savannah Coaling Company.
have been received by Mr.. Roy c..
Foster and bids for the construction
of the apparatus needed are now be-
ing secured.
Mr.. Foster said yesterday that while
he did not care to give out the site
Of the station it will have a river
frontage of 1000 feet and that the
company viii have the facilities for
handling large quantities of coal, both
for coaling ships at this port and for
shipment in cargo lots to other points
The present plan is to handle only
the best of steaming Goals, those Of
the Pocahontas and New River mines,
thought il is believed that the i'm
petus that will be given the market
by the new enterprise will result in
a large shipment to this port of the
Tennessee Goals, and some of that
which is mined in the vicinity of
Birmingham.
The plans of the plant that it is
purposed to place at Savannah con-
template an outfit that will enable
even the largest of vessels that visit
this city to coal in a few hours. This
will be made possible by the building
Of a steel tower, some seventy seven
feet high. from which will be operat-
ed a large bucket that will hold a ton
Of coal at a time, and which will con-
vey il, by means of a track, direct from
the bins to the chute connecting with
the hold of the ship.
The supplies Of coal for the station
will be brought from Norfolk by sail
and it is believed that they can be
sold here at a figure that will shut
Pennsylvania Goals from competition.

Michael Csaros. the Greek charged

money
1t was stolen from the Syrian as the
two were coming from Savannah on a
steamer. He was asleep when the
money was taken and there were fif-
teen persons in all travelling steerage,
so there was no way to tell who got
the money.
Alcori lost 500 in United States
money and a small amount of Syrian
money. When Csaros was arrested
only $5S was found on him and no Sy-
rian money at all. He was obliged to
have had that much money when he
landed in New York only a day or so
before he sailed for Savannah. one of
the Savannah Greeks, who interested
himself in his case, said, or else he
