CITY COURT YESTERDAY.
A Number of Criminal Cates Were
^’jc.TOtpoted of by Judge Qriffln.
Judge Griffin held a session of the
»urt yesterday for the purpose
Of disposing of a number of criminal
CgftM
ypne of the offender, Henry Back-
hurst ,who was charged with shooting
{at a passenger trsln on the Atlantic
Coast Line, at a point between Ous-
ly station and the river bridge. The
lleged offense occurred four or five
months ago, the offender being un
der the Influence of whiskey at the
jc time. He was adjudged guilty and
was lined 5100 and cost, or twelve
months on the chain gang.
Several parties plead guilty to gam
ing and were lined, their fines being
fixed according to their age and re
sponsibility, several of the parties be
ing quite young. Styles Johnson, col
ored, was fined $15 and cost Sollle
McClellan, $10 and cost; John Everett
525 and cost; Node Hall, Bill Kelly
and Ben Clments 510 and cost, and
Clarence Matthls 50 and cost.
Ah old negro woman named Betsy
: Wolffe, alia* Betsy^ Smith, entered
i the odhn-
"ebmmttslonerfiSffl IS required tra
der a recent law. She was fined 51
and coat, the court showing leniency
on account of the fact Uir. the old
woman had been making domestic
wine and selling it for many years
and was probably not aware that sho
was violating the law.
ROBBED MAN OF 51,500.
Lightning Way of Calculating Interest
One of the shortest and most sim
ple methods known for calculating in’
terest is to multiply the principal by
the number of days and divide as
follows:’
For 4 per cent divide by 90. '
For 5 per cent divide by 72.
For ti per cent divide by 60.
For 8 per cent divide by 46.
Then point off 2 decimal places.
For instance ,to find Interest on
5260,40 for 92 days, at 5 per cent,
multiply 5360,40 by 92, divide by 42
and point off 2 decimal places. The
result Is 54,6051, or 54.61.
The explanation of this Is very aim'
pie. The slow method would be to
find the Interest on one year by mul
tiplying by per cent .then to divide
by 368 ot find Interest for one day,
and then to multiply the number of
days, or 92. In this short process
you multiply by the number of days
first, then divide by 72 Instead of first
multiplying by 5 and then dividing
by 360, (which amounts to tho same
thing. Then you point off your two
declmrl places last Instead of doing
so when you multiply by 6 per cent.
The Money was In a Belt Which was
Cut Open.
Savannah, Ga. Dec. 8—A stock deal
er named Kelly reported to Detective
Mose Davis yesterday morning ,that
he had been robbed of 51,600 some
time during tho night before In the
neighborhood of Price street and
York lane.
Kelly said that he took a couple of
drinks and started to go home. He
noticed two white men walking be
hind him on Oglethorpe avenue but
paid no attention to them. He took
another drink In one of the bars in
the Tenderloin, he said, and after
that did not remember what happen
ed to him until he woke up later In
the day and discovered that a leath
er belt which he wore around his
waist, had been cut open and thirteen
5100 bills, and four 550 bills taken
out
Tho belt was exhibited and the
work had evidently been done hastily
There were several thousand dollars
in the belt, Ivided Into sections, and
had Inis'thieves known that the sec
tion which they opened was not the
only one they could have made a
rich haul Indeed.
Detectives Davis and Bostick are
at work on the case, but so far have
failed to find a clue as to who tho
guilty parties aro.

Fell in a Faint on the Street.
Charlie Shouse ,a young man who
works at the plumbing establishment
of George McGhan & Son., was at-
taked with a sudded illness last
night and fell senseless in the street
in front of Ham’s stable. Parties who
reached him first thought he was
dead, and Policeman Jacobs and oth
ers carried him over to the City Hall
and summoned Dr. Smith to treat
him. After the doctor had worked
on him some time the young man
revived, and was able to sit up. He
had no knowledge or recollection of
the attack, and when he regained his
senses and found the policeman and
bystanders around him he seemed to
be pretty badly frightened. His ill
ness was probably due to an affec
tion of the heart, but he was able to
be at work this morning.

OLD PEOPLE
CONSTANT
SUFFERERS
Most old people are great sufferers in Winter. They ^ WIN - Eft
ore seldom free from pains or ailments of some description, because they are
not os able to withstand the severity of the climate, with its damp, changing
weather, as are their younger, more vigorous companions. Cold Weather
starts the old aches and pains; they suffer with chilly sensations. cold
extremities, poor appetite and digestion, nervousness, sleeplessness and
other afflictions peculiar to old age. With advancing years the strength and
vitality of the system begin to decline. The heart action is weak and i rrc;;u-
lar, the blood becomes thin and sluggish in its circulation, and often 1 some
yld blood taint that has lain dormant in the system for years begins to man-
fest itself. A wart or pimple becomes a troublesome sore or ulcer, skin dis
eases break out, or the slight rheumatic pains felt in younger days rew cause
sleepless nights and hours of agony. There is no reason why old age should
not be healthy and free from disease if the blood is kept pure and the system
strong, and this can he done with S. S. S. It is a medicine that is especially
adapted to old people, because it is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks,
selected for their purifying, healing and building-up properties, and is very
mild and gentle in its action. 8. S. S. warms
and reinvigorates the sluggish blood «o that it
move# with more rapidity, aud clears it of all
impurities and poisons. As this rich, healthy
stream circulates through the body every part
PURELY VEGETABLE of the system is built up, the appetite ana di
gestion improve, the heart action increases and
the diseases and discomforts of old age pass away. S. 3. S. cures Rheuma
tism, Catarrh, Skin Diseases, Sores and Ulcers, and all troubles arising from
diuaud blood. TH£ SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATIAHTA, GA.
