ONE SINGLE CASE.
Two Judges But No Huslnesa to Speak
of at Court.
There was a failing off In business at
the court of the recorder today.
There were two Judges at headquar
ters, but there were hardly enough
rases to keep one Judicial gentleman
busy.
Jr.dge Howard wa* waiting to try
cases, when Judge Baxter showed up.
Judy Howard was then and there like
O'hello, ao far na court business was
com eroed-his occupation was gone.
"Call the defendants.” said Judge
Baxter. Scrgt. Trommerhauser call
ed. No answer. "Call another." said
the Judge. The sergeant called again
Rnd yet no defendant eame forth.
It began to look as If thtre would be
or. court. After a bit Nathan Brooks
appeared. Hr hod hit his wife on the
head. Two wltneses appeared against
him. Nathan did not seem to take to
them very well. He remarked to the
Judge: “Dem 'omans la partners; don't
belleb a word dey says agin me."
Whst they snhl nnd also what Na
than said eonvlctcd him. He was fined
»10.
Then court adjourned.
ORDERED TO A BACK SEAT.
A Soldier Out Riding Rumps Up
Against a Farmer Conductor.
There was an amusing Incident on
the Hill ear line last night.
A soldier, just returned from camp
life, had occupied a seat In the front
of the ear. A young lady was with
hint.
A conductor told the gentleman ho
must occupy a rear seat. The gentle
man thought he was In the conduc
tor's way and graciously enough took
the third seat In the car. The conduc
tor spied him: 1 told you you must
occupy one of the last two scats."
The whole thing now dawned on the
gentleman. "You must bo crazy!” lie
ejaculated to the conductor as ha
walked up and took the front seat of
the car.
Col. Dyer will have to Institute eye
sight examinations on his line.

Quite n Scrubbing.—There haa been
quite n tcrabbing gain on m police sta
tion for Ibe last two day* Several ne
gro women bavr been busy with soap
and brashes and the headquarters «op
shine like a new pin. The women who
do the work are ones who, for some
violation of the eighteenth or some
other section have been sentenced to
spend a few daye ta ruotody and come
In very bandy to eleati up the police
station. The police have a new maid
of-all-work almoat every day. who g< ta
her recommendation from recorder's
court.
Cleaning Day. We have had one
cleaning day and It will never be for
gotten by our well known city scaven
ger. Mr. Monnlhan. He was put to
it to collect up alt the garbage and had
to put many extra carts to work. Ho
does not want another in a hurry.
However, the n«xt cleanlng day will
not be so bad on him. People hava
cleaned up their premises since the
first cleaning day. so that the Job of
collecting garbage will not be as great
the next time. Say, Civic League,
when la the next day for taking up the
trash?
Oliver Row. Oliver Row consists
of a row of very up to date tenement
dwellings built by Mr. Jacob Übtnlxy.
on Monument street. They are built
on the style of flats and are the only
ones of the kind in Augusta. The
buildings have only lately been finish
ed, but long before they were comple
ted tenants for each house had been
secured.
Two of the six dwellings are now oc
cupied. Judge Baxter and family are
in one, and Col. J. Jones Gardener has
moved In to another. Others will lo
cate shortly in Oliver Row.
Turning Day. The Georgia rail
road has a certain day that they teim
“turning day." No other railroad has
such a day, so far as can be learned. It
is the day on which all passenger oars
in the yards here are shifted around
the Y and thus get what was their
right side their left side. This is
done so that one side of the coaches
will not be continuously exposed to the
sun while standing In the yards. If
these cars were turned around on a
turn table every time they arrived here
such a thing as turning day would not
be in vogue, but ibere Is no turntable,
and so the oars are taken around the
Y. and so get turned around. It Is a
unique idea, peculiar only to the Geor
gia.

LOUIS TOTTER MOHE.
Arrived Last Night From Spanish
Honduras to Remain a Fortnight.
Mr. Louis T. Potter arrived borne
lari night from hi* plantation on the
P'.inteen rivrr, Spanish Honduras.
Mr. Potter eame alone this year, his
pnttner. Mr. Marlon Mnthewnon having
preceded him several months ago, ow
ing to Illness.
He Is the same l>ouis, who la greet
lag his friends on Broad street this
morning, possibly a trifle thinner, but
the same good fellow that w-e all know.
He Is minus tho luxuriant whiskers,
too, this trip, that delighted his friends
on the occasion of his last arrival.
These were shed yesterday In At
lanta.
Mr. Potter left his ramp on Aug. 1?
last and in four days was at Belize,
British Honduras.
At Belize he took a Norwegian
tramp steamship for New Orleans and
managed to get Into the thick of the
recent storm. The inching and toss
ing of tho small steam,er was frightful,
so Mr. Poter says, and] on his cheek Is
a scar Caused by being thrown out of
his bunk In the height of the stornt.
In speaking of his business interests,
he was quite enthusiastic, saving that
matters were progressing beyond his
expectations. His principal shipment
Is erude rubber, a cargo being sent
off about .every two or three
months.
All of his dealings are made through
a Belize commercial house.
Mr. Potter says that he learned of the
present war abput the latter part of
June and after that information was
very meagre.
Mr. Potter has acquired an interest
in some gold-bearing ground and spoke
of one man. down the,,coast and a lit
tle inland from him. who recently took
out 187 fences of gold! In three days.
Mr. Potter's plans or§ somewhat In
definite as yet., but he says that liia
stay will probably hi a couple of
weeks or so. He brought no birds tte,
monkeys, leaving a couple of fine
young |arrots in Belizl.
