A colOred mai from Georgia had

when he was arrested for some slight
violation Of the city ordinances. Upon
hearing that the negro was in Jail. the
secretary Of the colored Y. M. c. A.

go with him and sign the prisoners
bail bond. They reached the Jail
shortly before noon, and told the
negro the object of their visit. In re-
Spouse to the proffered kindness he
said:
"Mistah Johnsing. I sho is glad you
all is gwine to git me out, but I
wants you-all to fix it so l can't git

OF course the two Samaritans were
somewhat taken aback by this unus.

lost their breath when, in answer to
the secretary's question, the Georgia

Unearth Ancient British Village.

Unearth Ancient British Village.
What Is believed to be the site Of
an ancient British village has been
discovered on a hitherto ~undeveloped
piece Of land situated on a command
ing hill to the north of the railway at
POkesdown, Bournemouth. The prop
erty, which for many years has laid
covered with brambles, furze, heath,
ETC., has recently been cleared for
building purposes, when the positions
of two ancient barrows were clearly
revealed. The smaller barrow con.
tanned a considerable quantity OF
burnt flint and bone dust, and on a
road being cut through the larger
barrow many urns Of great antiquity
were unearthed, a few Of them In a
perfect state Of preservation. They
were what are known as sun-dried,
and belonged to the period before the
bronze or iron age, being probably
some 5000 years old.

A force of over twenty auditors con-
nected with the main Office of the Lou

TEN, are in Pensacola, although this
fact Is not generally known. The men
are working IN every department gath

freight trains, checking every loaded
as we'll as empty car, others are on
passenger trains doing similar work,
while many are at the freight and
union depOts searching for information.
None of them will talk, and it was not
expected that they would.
The cause Of this exodus of auditors
from the Louisville Office to Pensacola
at the present time and the activity of
the system is to find out the business
now beng done over the T. & A. dlViS-
ion. This is due to the proceedings
brought by the Florida Railroad Com
mission to lower the passenger and
freight rates on the division, the hear
ing of which is now being conducted at
Louisville by U. S. Commissioner Viii
son.
The company is endeavoring TO prove
that the business done over the P. &
A. division does not justify a reduction
in the passenger rate from four to
three cents.
