The Word “Sozodont,”
Which is fast becoming a household word, is
derived from the Greek, and composed of two
words, Sozo and Odontes. “Sozo” translated*
means to preserve. “Odontes” the teeth”—
• Sozodont.” a preserver of the teeth. And it is
true to its name. For beautifying and preserving
the teeth, hardening and invigorating the gums,
and correcting all impurities of the breath, it is
without a peer in the world.

Notice has been made in the Morning
News of the case of the State vs. Edgar
Jones, tried before the Superior Court on
Saturday last. The jury retired at 7 p.
m., and were out until 11 o’clock Monday
morning without agreeing upon a ver
dict, and were discharged. We under
stand they stood nine for acquittal and
three for conviction. A new phase has
been given the case by the action of
Jones, but, that it may be better under
stood, we summarize the facts as estab
lished by the evidence adduced during
the late trial:
It appears that John W Dodge, a book
agent, missed a certain amount of money
from his room, and accused Jones, who
boards in the same house and occupied
the next rooi&, of having taken the
money, and, upon searching his effects,
he found a five dollar gold piece, one
twenty and two five dollar bills, all of
which he claimed as his property. Jones
also claims the money as his own, and
denies the theft. Jones yesterday
took out a writ of possession, before
Magistrate Marsh, for the possession of
the money, and, after a hearing in the
case, the Magistrate decided that the two
five dollar bills should be turned over to
Jones, and that the defendant should
pay the cost. The money, however, is in
the hands of the Solicitor General, and
it is uncertain what will be the issue.

The Funeral of Mr. D. McConnell.
The funeral of Mr. D. McConnell,
former proprietor of McConnell’s Euro

terday afternoon. The remains had been
taken to the chapel in the Cathedral
Cemetery grounds the preceding even

the residence, where the family and
friends of the deceased assembled and
from which they were conveyed in car-
riages to the cemetery.
The Republican Blues, to the number
of twenty-five, under command of Capt.
Geo. A. Mercer, assembled at their drill
room, fully uniformed and equipped, to
pay the last tribute of respect to the
memory of their deceased member. After
being formed, the company left the drill
room and proceeding to the corner of

road was in waiting, and, embarking on
the cars at that point, they were con

volleys over the grave. They then
marched to the city, having missed the
train, and were dismissed on reaching
their parade ground, South Broad street.
Huga.
There are various kinds of bugs—the
June bug, the red bug, the chinch bug,
and the humbug, but the most festive
and original of bugs is Lucius Bugs, a
colored rooster, who secures his daily
hash by the exercise of his sharp wits.
Lucuis is undoubtedly a genius, and de
serves a front rank in the bug family.
But a few days since he was snatched up
for playing his pranks on an old colored
woman, whom he wheedled out of her
hard earnings by a little confidence game.
Now Lucius, being unable to raise
an X, is sent to jail for the
period of thirty days for cheat
ing and swindling. The revelations
are thus: On Sunday week he called
at a restaurant in the market and stated
that a certain gentleman (giving his
name) had sent him for a good dinner.
The dinner was duly prepared and de
livered, and Lucius departed, but re
turned in a short time with the empty
dishes, and paid for the meal. At the
same time he stated that the gentleman
desjred another dinner fixed up imme
diately. The lady thqught this rather
singular, but knowing the gentleman
to be good pay filled the order,
and Lucius left. In about half an
hour that enterprising rooster re
turned with the plates and a message
that the gentleman desired the amount
charged, which was done. Nothing was
thought of the matter until the gentle
man was called upon to pay, when he
stated he had never ordered the dinner.
An explanation followed, which resulted
in the gentleman having Lucius arrested,
and he was committed, as above stated.
He will have a chance now to Be in jail
and hunt for bugs for thirty days to come.

.Savannah and Charleston Railroad* Mat

We alluded yesterday to the proceed
ings in the case of the Central Railroad
Company against the Savannah and
Charleston Railroad, and the consequent
interruption of travel between the two
points. Until some settlement is effected
our communication with the City by the
Sea will be by the way of Augusta.
The following is the return in full of
the Sheriff, upon the order of Judge
Pate, which was published in our yester
day’s issue.
State of Georgia, Chatham Co. >
Sheriff’s Office, July 6, 1875.)"
By virtue of the within affidavit and
warrant to dispossess, I have this day
placed the Central Railroad and Banking
Company of Georgia in the full and quiet
and exclusive possession of three (3)
miles of its railroad track in said county,
extending from the city of Savannah
westward to the junction of the Savan
nah and Charleston Railroad, and of the
warehouse and yard room in its depot at
the city of Savannah, lying south of
Railroad street, as mentioned in the affi
davit removing the tenant, by reading the
within affidavit to dispossess to W. T.
Marshall, clerk, and acting for the agent
of the Savannah and Charleston Railroad
Company on the premises, and notifying
him that the Central Railroad and Bank- (

possession of the property by turning
the same over to William Rogers, Esq.,
General Superintendent Central Railroad
and Banking Company of Georgia.

Magistrate Russell yesterday had thrqe
cases for his judicial consideration, and
disposed of them in the following order:
Lizzie Morrow, charged with assault
and battery, was sent to the county hotel
to await examination.
J ohn Lightbume, who allowed his
“fourth” to last too long, got into a row
with Mrs. Howe, at Thunderbolt, and
was required to enter into bonds to keep
the peace toward that lady.
Nancy Small and Jack Brown got into
a Small-Brown row, and found it neces
sary to furnish bondsmen to sign a peace
bond for their future good behavior
toward each other.

Time and again have we called atten-
; tion in the columns of the Mornino
News to the condition of the county jail,
and suggested, as but in accordance with
the dictates of humanity, that the au
thorities devise some plan whereby the
unfortunate wretches confined within its
unsightly walls might at least enjoy treat
ment that is due human creatures.
Grand jury after grand jury
have commented in the severest
terms upon the interior arrange
ments, and sought to impress upon the
authorities the importance of enlarging
the jail, or erecting a new and more mod
era building, not inaptly characterizing
the present edifice as a shame to the
county, and a blot upon her fair es
cutcheon. Committees have been ap
pointed to examine into the matter, and
have made their reports, and in every in
stance has there been a remarkable unan
imity of opinion expressed as to the im
portance and necessity of action in the
premises. These reports, like the present
ments of the grand jury, have been read,
discussed and filed away as “informa
tion.” No practical, sensible steps
have been taken to remedy or ameliorate
the evil complained of.
The reason of this dilatoriness, inaction
apathy, or whatever you may call it, is
given that the county has no money, is
not in a financial condition to enter upon
the work. It is well known that Chat
ham county is one of the largest tax
paying counties in the State, and it seems
strange that there should be this con
tinual cry of no money. Taxes are levied,
and can be collected, and if collected
there should be no difficulty in properly
maintaining her public institutions.
With the resources which exist,
it seems but reasonable to ex
pect that enterprising, intelligent
and progressive administration could
utilize them advantageously. Some
schema* or plan might be devised by
which money could be raised or the
taxes more closely collected, and the
condition of the county improved.
In reference to the jail, there should
be prompt action taken, and as there is
quite a neat sum in possession of the
county, known as the jail fund, it would
not appear difficult. It is presumable
that this fund is at the disposal of the
county authorities, though we hear there
is some doubt expressed touching their
right to use the money. Upon what
grounds we know not and would be
pleased to learn if there are any.
These remarks are preliminary to the
introduction of a report from the Jail
Committee, which was submitted at the
meeting of the Board of County Com
missioners, and which presents the facts
of the case in sufficiently strong terms,
to render unnecessary further comments
by us. We earnestly hope that some
intelligent action will be taken on the
subject, and if it be found at all possible
that the vacant lot adjoining the police
barracks be obtained from the city,
and a new building, appropriately de
signed for the purpose, be erected
thereon. We commend the report,
which is as follows, to the careful con
sideration of all who are interested in our
count}’ affairs:
Savannah, July 7, 1875.
To the Honorable Commissioners, Etc.:
Your honorable board is without doubt
fully acquainted with the yearly increas
ing want of room in the Chatham county
jail for the custody of its prisoners. Sev
eral grand junes have justly and strongly
adverted to it, embodying in their pre
sentments numerous suggestions for
amelioration. The prominent fact is that
with only forty-seven cells the jail
is required to provide for the cus
tody of an average of ninety
prisoners. About one-third of these
are usually on the chain-gang, but
are brought in for confinement on Satur
day evening and taken out on Monday
morning. During that period it is not
uncommon to see three prisoners con
fined in one cell.
The direction of the various grand
jury presentments has been towards a
new jail of a capacity to suit the new
coudition of society, and a report of the
Jail Committee of Council, under date
of January 10, 1870, has wisely recom
mended as a proper site a portion of the
city groand near the police barracks.
The committee now addressing your hon
orable board apprehend that the time is
still distant in which the said report and
county presentments can be carried out.
Meantime, humanity calls for some
thing to be done. Notwithstanding the
efficient care of the jailer and the atten
tion of this committee, the jail as it now
stands is a blot on this community by
reason of the insufficient room provided
tor its inmates. To remedy this in part
this committee now address your honor
able body, asking that a small portion of
the fund understood to be in your hands
be devoted by law to a new jail, or addi
tions to the present building. be applied to
carry out the plan embodied in the ac
companying sketch of the City Surveyor.
If the hope of a new or better building
could soon be realized, this ^committee
would hesitate to recommend any consid
erable expenditure on the present struc
ture ; but not indulging that hope, they
are bound in the interest of a common
humanity and good government to ask
that your honorable board will divert a
small portion of the Chatham jail invest
ment for the object stated. The letter
and plan submitted will be sufficiently
explanatory. This committee will only
add that the mode therein indicated has
seemed to them the best devised to in
crease, at small cost, the capacity.
The main building, now entirely de
voted to the personal uses of the jailer, is
large and roomy. The lower floor is
amply sufficient for the personal require
ments of the jailer. The upper floor
under the plan submitted, can be|made
available for confinement of prisoners of
light offences to the extent of at least
fifteen, at a cost of not more than $1,500,
a result which will be sure to attract your
humane and attentive consideration.
Respectfully,
G. M. Sorrel.
Chairman Committee on Jail.
City Surveyor’s Office, )
Savannah, April, 1875. f
Gen. G. M. Sorrel, Chairman Jail Corr*-
mittee, Etc.:
I respectfully submit accompanying
sketch of the upper floor of the main
building connected with the county jaiL
I see no way of utilizing the floor below
for the confinement of prisoners without
interfering too much with the space re
quired for the jailer’s accommodation.
The alterations in the plan submitted for
the upper floor will not involve any con
siderable outlay or any material alteration
in the building. The partitions desig
nated A, B, C, I propose to make of two
thicknesses of rough pine plank nailed
together so that the whole surface, if di
vided into squares of two inches,
will have a nail at the corner
of every square. I propose, also,
to cover the present floor with
another thickness of one and a half
inch plank, dressed. No change will
be required in the present partitions
other than to cover them with one thick
ness of one and a quarter inch plank.
The heaviest expense will be the iron
window guards required for the windows
and fitting up water-closets in the re
spective rooms. I estimate the whole
expense at $1,350. It is probable the
work can be done for less if proposals
are called for. Very respectfully,
John B. Hogg, City Surveyor.
Proposed Change of the Post Ofllce.
We have heard nothing the past few
days about the removal of the Post Office
to Commercial Block. The Post Office
officials should use their influence to ef
fect some change, as it will be a great
convenience to every citizen. It is now
stated that the postal authorities have
their eyes on the premises southeast cor
ner of Broughton and Whitaker streets,
with the view of securing the same for
new quarters. Anything for a more de
sirable place than the present one.

This society met at twelve o'clock yes
terday, agreeable to notice, J. W.
Lathrop, Esq., Vice-President, in the
chair, to act on a report of the resources
of Georgia.
A full quorum not being present, the
question was raised whether to forward
the report at once, if adopted by those
present.
Remarks were made by Messrs. Sloan,
Lathrop, Hopkins and others.
Mr. Orme, the chairman of the com
mittee to write up the resources of the
State of Georgia, was called upon for his
views. He said that it was all important
that Savannah should be alive to the step
inaugurated by the Mississippi Valley so
ciety of London to have direct trade
with the South; that our neighbor.
Charleston, was moving in the matter,
not in words, but in action: that the
London society was an organization of
capitalists who have been impressed
with the wonderful resources of the Mis
sissippi Valley and the Southern Atlantic
States.
The English capitalists were organized
and anxious to know more of our coun
try, our wants, and the inducements that
could be held out to them to invest.
They could only know it reliably through
a branch organized for that purpose.
They wanted a responsible and reliable
head to communicate with, and the in
formation given would then have weight
and influence.
The late war between the States had
given to the South an individuality she
never had before, and as we are now seen
in our true and proper light, direct trade
and direct business relations in every
branch of business is rapidly becoming
the earnest wish of the capitalists and
manufacturers of Europe.
They cannot comprehend that a people
with such vast resources do not trade
direct, and why they willingly allow New
York middlemen to do what they them
selves should do. Hence their desire to
know individually the producers of the
South and West.
The forwarding of the report of the
committee will call their attention to
Georgia, and delay will be injurious to
our interest.
It was finally concluded that the irn
portance of the subject matter required
the confirmation of a full meeting, aDd,
on motion of Mr. Hone, the meeting
was adjourned to 12 o’clock to day,
8th inst , at the Central Railroad Bank,
when all members in the city are urged
to attend.
For the convenience of members gen
erally we publish a list of the gentlemen
composing the Savannah branch, viz:

A Fortune-Teller in Troublo.
A female astrologist, reader of palms,
decipherer of physiognomy, revealer of
character, and a wonderful genius gener
ally, was yesterday arrested on a warrant
issued by Magistrate Elsinger, charged
with cheating and swindling. The com
plaint was laid by a darkey who had
visited the seventh daughter of a seventh
daughter in the fond hope that the mys
teries of the future would be revealed to
him, and that knowledge would be ob
tained that would make his heart
leap with joy, and enable him
to gain a livelihood without fol
lowing the precarious and now, since
the introduction of the torpedo chicken,
dangerous profession of pullet lifting.
He consequently forked over $15 and re
ceived some remarkable information,
whereupon he left apparently satisfied.
He was, however, too impatient, and, the
fortune not “panning out” as he antici
pated, he returned to Robertsville, up
braided the revealer of hidden mysteries
and announced his intention of having
her arrested if she did not fork over the
fifteen dollars. The female astrologist
was not looking through those kind
of glasses and declined to restore
the greasy greenbacks, whereupon the
darkey cantered to Magistrate Elsinger’s
office and to«k out the warrant, as stated
above. Late yesterday evening the for
tune-teller was loitering around the mag
isterial castle, undecided whether to let
the matter drop by ponying up the $15
and costs, hunting a bondsman, or going
on a summer visit to the Hall street re
sort. She was, however, apparently un
dismayed by the situation, and enlight
ened several visitors, besides the magis
trate and Constable Kaufman, by telling
tbeir fortunes. From the way Kaufman
blushed, it was the impression of those
present that the sight-seer was a pretty
good guesser, to say the least, and gave
him some mighty close hits.
A Mormon Darkey Cornea to (arief.
Yesterday morning two colored men
arrived in the city from the vicinity of
Huger’s plantation, on the South Caro
lina side, in search of a colored rooster
named James Norman, who disappeared
from that neighborhood last week, leav
ing a disconsolate wife and child. James,
it appears, is afflicted with the mania of
Mormonism, and is desirous of emulat
ing, as it were, the great prophet Brig
ham. On his departure from his South Car
otins home, he secured as companions two
colored girls, Maria Miller and her cousin,
aged respectively twelve and fifteen
years, and renting a shanty in Frogtown,
opened a harem, so to speak, and in
stalled the dusky damsels as his mis
tresses. He had thus been living with
these children for several days when the
father and uncle of the girls heard of his
whereabouts and came over after them.
Appealing to Magistrate Abrams for as
sistance, that official put his indefatigable
constable on the track* and James was
nabbed, together with his juvenile brevet
wives, and ushered into the magistrate’s
presence to answer the charge of adul
tery and fornication. Being unable to
give bonds, James was escorted to jail,
and the girls were delivered into the cus
tody of their natural protectors, and taken
back “to de ole plantation,” where it is
probable they will be tempted to dance
iuba, to the tune of a whizzing hickory
in the hands of their enraged male rela
tives.
