GAS COMPANY WINS
SUIT AGAINST GREEK
A case that is very probably with
out precedent in this city is the one
just brought, up before Judge Bennett.
It apears that one Carat Antonop
ratios, who runs the Broadway Res
taurant on Broad street gave to the
Augusta Gas Light Co., a check lit
payment for his July gas bill and
thar this check was turned down at
the bank. The Gas Light Co. thin
took out a possessory warrant against
the Broadway Restaurant, and made
suit to re-take their fixtures as they
had not been paid for, claiming that
the Gas and Light Co. only let them
remain in a mans place as long as
the gas was paid for.
Judge Bennett decided that al
though the Gtfs and Light Co. is a
public utility it Is under no more ob
ligations to furnish goods to custom
ers who dm s not pay tor them that
any merchant selling other goods.

LITTLE BOY DIED
FROM WHISKEY
SAYS_JURY
A coroner's jury impanelled in the
Carl Roberts case returned a verdict
at noon today of death as the result
of over-stimulation, caused by whis
key administered from th e hands of
Robert Taylor and David T. Roberts.
The men were immediately taken into
custody by Marshall Whittle, of the
Superior Court, and warrants, If not
already, will be issued.
Robert Taylor was the first witness
put on the stand. He testified that
Roberts and his son joined him early
Monday morning, and remained in his
company until a little after 11 o'clock
when they parted at Jones and Mar
bury stret. He admitted that they
both had been drinking, but denied
any knowledge of such indulgence by
the child.
Lovely Vincent, a negress who testi
fied Tuesday afternoon, was put on
the stand again. She positively iden
tified Taylor as the man wnom she
saw hand Carl Roberts a bottle of
whiskey at Jones and Marbury street
Monday morning between 11 and 12
o'clock, and reiterated her testimony
| of the <lay before.
The father, when called again, de
nied having given his son anything
' but part of two glasses of beer. He
' said he had no recollection of the boy
drinking any whiskey that morning
but admittted that he and Taylor
were both drinking heavily. He sub
stantiated the statement of Taylor, to
' the effect that when the latter parted
1 company with him the boy was ap
parently in good health.
Dr. W. H. Goodrich, coroner's physy
cian, said he found the child to be a
physicial weakling. The right lung
had grown to the inner wall of the.
chest cavity, as a result of chronic
pleurisy, and he found blood clots in
the heart cavities. He also found a
congestion in the brain. Basing,
therefore, his opinion on discoveries
of the autopsy and statements of Dr.
Baker, he said he thought the child
eame to his death directly as a result
of a high fever which was brought
on the convulsions, but he regarded
it as a matter of conjecture whether
or not the fever was induced by over
stimulation by alcohol or whiskey. He
made no analysis of the stomach, as
it would have shown nothing, having
been washed by purgatives adminis
tered at th P hospital.
K G. Kalbfleisch. acting solicitor
of the superior court, was called in
for his counsel, and read the defini
tion of murder, manslaughter and In
voluntary manslaughter, for the gui
dance of the jury in their delibera
tion.

SUFFERING AMONG POOR
IS NOT YET ABATIN G
Are vou under the impression that
ali the relief work has been prac
tically accomplished, and that there
remain In Augusta no hungry to be
ted, and no homeless to be housed?
If so, the Impression Is an errone
ous one that should be Instantly re
moved.
As late as last Friday, after the
week of unremitting endeavor on the
part of those carrying succor to the
unfortunate, a famished child burst
Into tears at the unfamiliar sight of
a piece of bread, ahd every day, in
me worst devastated districts, may
be seen men and women not only suf
fering from actual hunger, but going
about only half clothed and with feet
made bare because of their only shoes
having been lost or ruined in the
muddy water.
A representative of The Herald
went with Miss Biggar on her rounds
in and near the Hawks Gully district
on Tuesday afternoon, and saw that
the existing destitution, so far from
being exaggerated, was not even re
motely, imagined. Hundreds of
homes had been swept bare of their
entire furnishings and boasted only
the mattresses supplied by the relief
committees, many of them without
pillows or sheets or covering of any
kind. Everybody, everywhere was
working, either on their own lots or
houses, or trying to restore their fur
niture or get tlie mud out of their
ruined remnants of clothing. The
willingness to work was every where
in evidence. In many instancs, the
negroes who had done all that was
possible to their own premises were
taking in great quantities of washing,
hoping by this means to get money
for some of the necessities of life.
In one instance, a crippled woman
who kept a roof over her head by
boarding a group of mill hands had
lost everything, and was making he
roic efforts to save something that
would at least enable h£T~to keep the
young men, whose board money
meant everything to her. Here was
a man willing to work, but shoeless,
and with his feet in a condition mak
ing the work in the water at the
mills impossible until shoes were ob
tained. Here was a child without a
garment except the one filthy rag it
wore. Dozens of men and women
and children crowded around Miss
Biggar telling of the most dire want,
the while their ruined homes, into
which she and others were given free
access, bore mute testimony to tbe
truth of their pitiful takes. When
ever it was possible a just plea for
assistance was immediately respond
ed to with an order on some one of
the relief station or on the stores,
where arrangements had been made
to supply shoes, clothing, etc. Still
what was given sc promptly and so
largely seemed but a drop in the
bucket in view or the enormity of

what was manted, what has impera
tively needed.
Conditions are
Thanks to the efficient work of the
city authorities and the district
nurses, sanitary condi every
where prevailed, for the men who
were physically able had been re
quired to clean up their owe houses
and lots, and workmen had been hired
to do it for those too feeble and help
less to do it for themselves. All the
old mattresses and many other house
hold goods to which their owners ad
hered stubbornly, but which were un
sanitary in the extreme had been
taken away, some of them their own
ers at least finding inadequately re
placed.
There was surprisingly little of tha
spirit of greed displayed, and a still
more gratifying spirit of unselfishness
was conspicuous. One of our young
women who has been most active in
the volunteer relief work says that on
the very first day, when she began
make her rouuds, she was impress
ed tremendously by the thought for
others displayed by those who were
themselves in the greatest possible
distress. She says that In three
specifis instances people in want to
whom she was sent first said, “Go
first to so-and-so across the Btreet or
next door. They need food or help
more than I do. After they are sup
plied, if there is anything left, I shall
be grateful lor it.” She also tells of
one man who had lost all in a little
grocery store, and who volunteered
—because he felt sorry, hessai lor
those more penniless than hlmseif—
to deliver food and blanket and mat
tresses to the destitute.
Helping Themselvea.
While with Miss Biggar, there was
visited one poor, bare house, the ten
ant of wnlch had offered, as soon as
she could clear the mud ajvay, to
turn it into a sewing room, where the
women of the neighborhood were busi
ly working as volunteers to supply
some possibly more unfortunate neigh
bor with the garments absolutely ne
cessary for covering their nakedness.
No, the half has not been told, It
can never be told; and thousands of
dollars, hundreds of helpers, are still
required to make life endurable, or
even possible, for those the great
waters rolled over most heavily.
So much lor this side of the pic
ture. Now for another. r
One day this week, there walked
into a dry goods store an Augusta wo
man, whose home was not touched by
the water. She was finding it ex
ceedingly difficult to get Just the kind
of linen lawn she wanted to make
fine handkerchiefs by hand. "Never
mind,” she finally said to the clerk,
who could not supply what she want
ed, "It does not make so much dif
ference, lor I do not need the hand
kerchiefs, but was merely going to
make them becaus I have nothing
else in the world to do.”
