CAMDEN COUNTY MUST PAY
SHERIFF DAVE BAILEY HIS
YEARLY SALARY.
Judge Conyers Heard the Case at a
Chambers Session of His Tribunal
And Decided in Favor of the
Sheriff.
Sheriff.

quite an interesting case from
Camden county was heard at a cham
bers session Of the Superior court
held by Judge Conyers yesterday morn
ing in which was involved the sum
of $500 and the constitutionalitv of
law OF long standing over in Camden.
TAe case was in the form of a
mandamus proceeding brought by
Sheriff Dave Bailey against the com
missioners Of +, ads and revenues of
Camden county. 1t seems that for
years Camden county has been paying
to her sheriff the sum of $400 rer year
in addition to The usual fees. This
was done owing to the fact that the
county was small one ana the fees
are not very large, therefore a good
man could MT be secured who would
occupy the important position for the
fees. In order to maintain an efficient
sheriff the commissioners OF Camden
many years ago, agreed TO pay the or
fetal $i00 per year. and the law has
been in effect in the county since the
action Of the commissioners.
But the present beard refused to
pay Sheriff Bailey the amount for lasr
year ON the ground that the law. au-
thorizine the extra payment was not
constitutional 1t was not because the
commissioners really did not want to
pay the amount, but more on the ques-
tinn OF the constiuticnality Of the law
In order TO collect the money Sher-
iii Bailey brought manddmus proceed
Sings and the case was heard yesterday
the mandamus being granted, which
means that the sheriff will be paid the
$400 for last year, as well as a similar
amount for the present year
Al the hearing yesterday Sheriff
Bailey was represented by Hon. A. A.
Lawrence, of Savannah while Hon
II F. Dunwody, OF this city. appeared
for the Camden coanty commissioners

THAT NEW PAVING
LOCAL CONCERN HAS CONTRACT
FOR FIVE-SlxTHS OF
THE WORK.

Although the contract for the new
sidewalk paving on Norwich street has
been awarded tG the Logan Coal and
Supply Co, of Jacksonville, a local
concern, the Southern Cement Stone
company, will do most of the work.
IN fact the Brunswick company now
has contracts with the various prop
erty owners fer at least ive-sixths of
the entire work to be done, and the
concern is making arrangements to
begin the work at once.
Col j E. du Bignon, who is presi-
dent of the Brunswick concern, was
seen by a News reporter yesterday
and when questioned on the subject, he
stated that although council had
awarded the contract to the Jack
sonyille concern. his company had con-
tracts for the laying of approximately
$500 square yards of sidewalks on the
street, which comprises practically all
of the work.
These contracts we're awarded tc
the local company by the property
owners, who are to foot the bills and
who have the privilege of awarding
the contract to any concern they may
desire The work, therefore, to be
done by the Jacksonville concern, will
only include the laying of sidewalks
on property owned by the city and
one or two private lots.
Col. du Bignon's company manufact-
ures one of the best paving blocks
turned out in this section, the material
now being used on a large majority OF
the sidewalks of the city.

RETURNS THANKS
SUPERVISOR PERHAM GRATEFUL
TO THOSE WHO ASSISTED IN
CENSUS TAKING.

The following was received yester-
day from Supervisor Perham;
Mr EDITOR
The census enumeration is rapidly
closing, and | have drawn so heavily
from the boantiful supply of that al
ways and ever abiding civic pride and
courtesy, so unfailingly resident in the
breast Of the gentlemen of our south
land. that | must ask space in which
to extend thanks to each, and all fer
the unsparing assistance each perscn
called upon has so promptly rendered.
The boundary of the 11ta Congress
sional district encompasses about 2l
per cent, of the states entire erea,
and to undertake its census is a task
Of no small proportion, and by me
could not have been done without the
most loyal and friendly assistance
that was so unsparingly given.
I have sought the assistance of
your city, county and state officials,
and your public spirited citizens not
in cffice and your newspapers; all of
whom responded to every request.
and as our work is nearing it's close,
wish to thank each and every one and
all those who assisted me in the least
way. and / wish this to also apply to
the enumerators who have so loyalty
performed their work.
Each one of you have done your
country a service, and placed me un-
der many, many due and unpaid ready
to deliver on demanded obligations.
Very truly,
A. p Perhan.

\. II. Hayward, Jr.. trustee of the es-
tate of Joseph Champagne, the ST.
Simon bankrupt, concerning the SAFE
OF the various assets, including the
Hotel Bellevue, various cottages on
the island and other properly.
As stated in The News yesterday
objection was filed by the bankrupt 20
the confirmation of the sale of lie
hotel and furniture. and this was ,ne
only contested part of the sale
Objection was filed on the ground
that the hostelry and furnishings w,ra
sold entirely too cheap and that 3e
property could be sold fer a muc1
larger sum The bidder, Albert Fen
dig, representing the St. Simon Trans
it company, was present. and after
comforting with his attorneys and 9th
ers, agreed to increase the bid from
$500, the price for which the property
was knocked down at the sale. to ,
was knocked down at the sale to 81

One amusing feature, however, was
a petition by Jrhn Currie, of St. Sim
on, who seeked to get released from
the purchase cf several COWS belong
ing 10 the estate Mr. Curre bid in
the COWS at the sale for $S5. Yester-
day he appeared in the court and stat
ed that he purchased the cows mGer
the idea that they were all Jerseys,
when. as a matter OF fact they We're
nothing more than common every
day cows" The referee however.
informed the purchaser that ne should
have made this discovery before he
purchased the cattle.
As TO the Hotel Bellevue, it is un-
derstood that the St Simon Transit
company will at once have a namber

MANY LADIES TO
ATTEND MEETING
THE GEORGIA PHILATHEA UNION
TO HOLD ANNUAL CoNVEN-
TIoN in THIS CITY

Brunswick will sentertain on June
10 about fifty prominent young ladies
of Georgia, who will come to the city
as delegates representing various
branches of the Philathea Union, which
is to hold its state convention in this
city on the dates named. The local
union is now busy making arrange
ments for the convention, and outside
of the regular routine work, the fair
visitors will be entertained in various
ways by the local ladies'.
The Philathea Union is a religious
organization undenominational. and is
composed exclusively of ladies'. Prac-
tically every city of any size in Geor-
sia has a branch of the organization
and every union will likely be rep
resented at the local meeting. The
business sessions will be held in the
First Baptist church. where the local
union meets, and the sessions will be
open to the public.
The local union has petitioned city
council for an appropriation of $50
to assist in entertaining the visitors,
and it is more than probable that the
appropriation will be made.

HE ISSUED A STATEMENT YES
TER ANNOUNCING HIS
DECISION.
For Various Reasons the Ex- Gever-
nor Will Not Be in the Race at Ap.
preaching Election--What He Says
in Statement,
in Statement

Atlanta. May 14--Ex-Governor HoSe
Smith will not be a candidate for gov
ernor al the approaching election.
This announcement was made by the
former chief executive this morning,
when he gave out a statement for pub
/ location, in which he set forth his
reasons for not offering for the place
which he formerly held The state
ment is as follows;
During the past two weeks | have
received requests in various forms,
| urging me to enter the race for gov
ernor and convincing me that an
extended movement aas begun to
cause my candidacy for that Office.
While ! deeply appreciate the pur-
rose of those engaged in this move
ment, as | cannot see my way at
this time to become a candidate,
wish to spare them useless trouble.
But fer the conviction that certain
legislation then in the public mind
was absolutely necessary to the per-
manent welfare of the people of the
state, / would not have entered the
first race. The second race was pre-
cipitated before | had been in Office
nine months and ! entered ii from
! sense of duty. Before the close Of
my two years as governor the inn
! portant measures for which the con
/ test of 1906 was made had been
/ accomplished and the principles EN-
/ bOdipd in Them will remain the Same
! policy of the state If my individual
/ preference were alone involved
would yield them without hesitation
and comply with any call made upon
me by that splendid body of men who
stood together SO Loyalty in 1906 and
again in 1908 for the reforms in ques-
tion and who went down with me in
the last election before forces of
position which | dc not believe can
again be combined. But there are
other reasons of personal nature
which prevent my entering a heated
political contest at the present time.
While I cannot now consent to enter
the race for governor | wish to assure
my friends and fellow citizens of the
regret it causes me not to comply with
their wishes and my READINGS out Of
Office to serve them in any way possi-
bic | shall be ready at all times to
take active part in the support of
! measures which will promote good
1 government whenever and wherever
| the opportunity is given"
