fearful Statesmen.

There was a time when English
statesmen wept upon small provoca-
ton. Pepys makes frequent reference
to this weakness, while the story of
the long parliament as written by
D'Ewes gives tie impression that the
legislators Of that day were singularly
prone to tears. They wept on the
slightest provocation, and sometimes
their excessive grief was so noisy that
proceedings had to be stayed until the
.lachrymose lawmakers could compose
themselves.

WHO RAPED JURIES
WILL BE ON VENlRE

SAVANNAH. GA, Sept. 1s.-Savan-
nah ministers having protested against
the quality of men on the jury lists. 1t
is understood that when the new list
is compiled there will be surprise in
store for them in that practically all OF
them will be on It. Almost every ply
stefan in the city also will be on the
list.
1t was stated by the ministers that
the class of persons who should serve
on juries were not put on the lists, and
that this was the reason the judges
found difficulty in securing good jurors
and why ii is hard to convict in GER
tain cases, particularly for violations of
the liquor laws.
The jury commissioners gave Gre
dence to the statements, and in order
to remedy the matter and satisfy the
ministers. the preachers themselves

TELLS WHERE To
FIND RIG He TOOK
Horse Thief Writes Note to the
Police Chief and Stolen An
imaI Is Recovered.

Major Charles Vittur, proprietor of
Vittur's livery stables, today regained
possession of fine horse and buggy
which had been missing since Saturday.
He got the rig back by following in
structions in a mysterious note re-
ceived by Police Chief Beavers from
the horse thief
This note, which came to the chief
written on a dirty piece of paper in a
scrawlng hand and inclosed in a tele-
gram envelope, read:
Tell the livery stable man on Ma
rietta street he can get his horse and
buggy If he will go to a point one
mile above Norcross. He will find 1t in
the woods, tied to tree, right behind
a church. I'm drunk"
There was no signature. The charac-
ter of the almost illegible writing in
dicated that the writer knew what he
was talking about when he said he was
drunk"
Chief Beavers turned the note over
to Major Vittur, and the liveryman at
once hurried to Norcross He went to
the point indicated, and there, behind a
little country church, tied to a tree,
was his horse and buggy. The writer
Of the note was gone.
The thief called at Vittur's stables
Saturday morning and rented the horse
and buggy, giving his name as Scott,
and explaining that he wanted to drive
to Ben HILL When he failed to return
at the appointed time, a search was
started, but nothing was heard from
the horse and buggy until the arrival of
the note.

WANTS ANCL|N
To SUE JESTER
Attorney for Wife of Man AlIeg-
ing Love Theft Defends
Her Character.

Carl Hutcheson, we'll known youne
attorney, today issued defense of Mrs
John r. Anglin and declared that if hel
husband brought his threatened suit
for $4,000 for alienation Of his wife's
affections against w. r. Jester in this
county, Mrs. Anglin would win a COM
plete vindication. Here is Mr.. Hutche-
sons statement:
Relative to charges by one John
r. Anglin against his good wife, Of
this city as result of an attempted
shooting scrape in Macon, said
Anglin being acquitted of charges
of assault with intent to murder
w. r. Jester Of Atlanta, I wish you
would give me space in your COL
umns for few words in behalf OF
Mrs. Anglin.
/ know the lady personally and
hereby vouch for her irreproach-
able character. l am cognizant
also Of some things In connection
with said John T. Anglin. The
case has been tried to a great ex-
tent in the press. Public opin-
ion is formed oftentimes without
all facts being known. Evidence
so often is the basis of a miscar-
rage of justice. If the public knew
the life that said Anglin led this
good lady in the West. they would
pause before rendering a verdict.
/ know that Mrs. Anglin is a good
woman, has done nothing wrong
and that Mr.. Jester has known her
since she was child, Mrs. Anglin's
father being in TESTERS employ
trust that Anglin will enter
suit against Mr.. Jester in Fulton
county. and l am certain that the
public will then have an opportu-
nifty to pass a sentence common
surate with the weight of the
scales of justice.
Judge Ross, attorney for Anglin,
is a great lawyer and a friend Of
mine. He charges certain things
against Jester and brands Mrs.
Anglin as a bad woman. Let us
have a trial of this affair in Full
ton through a damage suit, where
lawyers influence is not so far
reaching as in the county of Bibb,
and then we shall see another side
to the outrageous and untruthful
charges of a defendant, who can
not testify but who can say any
thing that he desires on the stand,
because he can not be reached by
an indictment for perjury"

ADOPTS
STRICT INSPECTION
RULES FOR COTTON

SAVANNAH. GA, Sept. 1S.-Ship
brokers, railroad and steamship Off
Gals, cotton inspectors and transporta-
ton men have adopted for use at the
port of Savannah the inspection rules
of the Savannah Maritime association.
The object OF these rules is to reduce
the number of complaints registered
against damages to cotton shipments
when they reach their foreign destina-
ton. Other South Atlantic posts adopt
ed these rules two weeks ago.
The rules provide for a more careful
inspection of cotton which is offered
for shipment for a strict enforcement
of regulations as to marking bales and
wrapping them carefully. Bales bear
ing indistinct marks will be condemned
before they are loaded for shipment.
