up to her lou -o in Pooler in a buggy. Mrs.
Cameron and the boy g t out, and stare and
up to the buu o. .Sue told Florie to go and
meet them, winch she did. Cameron left
the buggy a:- i came into tne yard. His
wife urged Fi ie to c> me out. and speak to
her brother. tYhen the child readied tee
botton uf the steps, Cameron grabbed her,
and carrying her to the buggy, placed her
in it ad drove • >IT. the chil l screaming at
the top of be. voice. His wife and the boy
immediately left t e house Mrs. Cameron,
the widow, immelivteiy came to Savannah,
and took steps for the recovery of the chili.
Testimony was introduced showing that
Mrs. Abide Cameron wav a (it and c iiipti
tont person to have tho care of the child.
C >alios Cameron’s evidence differed
from his sisier-iu-luw’s materially. He is a
carpenter and c intractor living on Second
street, and nit u-.iright, respectab’e ma.i, as
w..k proven. Hi hue several cln dro iof
his own. His oiann to bi.-> brother's children
is based on the fact that ha is their uearost
living relative, and that they have no rela
tives in t.uisVt.ito outsids of bis family. He
claims that 1.0 visited h;s brother et
the hospital j st before he died and told
him that it was bis desire to care fir tne
children, to whi -h his brother agreed, and
thanked him for tho offer, saying he would
ihen be able to die easy. 11c advanced his
brother money during h’s sicknesi and to is
charge of Lis funeral alter his death,
paying al! tho expe> s. The boy
car.io to him e day or two before his brotu
er’a death, -qyiug his stop mother had pnt
himut of the house. Ho had endeavored
to secure pos session of Florie, but bor step
ir.o.hor refused to give her up. Ho feit it
to be his right and d.ity to take cave of the
child, and for Ca f icaso-i had taken her,
though not against her will. H was able
to iuse care of her, and was anx.ous to do
no, and wished to raise her with Ins children
an;’ bar brother.
Other tfaiimonj' was snmmttte.l in the
same lino, tho witness s including Mr.
Cameron’s wife. It was very plain the e
was no love lost between tho two
Cameron women from thoir manner of tss-
Hiving and the looks they cast at each
other.
Mosses Sanssy and Stubbs argued
the case fir about two ity or thirty min
utes, the argument being in support o? the
statements ma ie by their clients.
Judge Ferrill took lisle Florie one side
after the argument was concluded an i
questioned her. He tiie-i rendered nis de
cision, giving the girl into the cus o.iy of
her uncie, Charles Cameron, the child hav
ing declared hor preference for him. Mr.
and Airy. C,.rrieron seemo l overjoyed at the
decision, and Florie seemed well pleased.
Mrs. A bine Cameron did not • axe the de
cisi n much to heart, suyii-g that if the
child wished to remain with her uucie it
was all riAlit.
Mr. and Sirs. Cameron, two or three of
then- children ad Johnny and F.one made
a happy fonily party that left the court
house together shortly after 7 o’clock.
CAYti IN THS MsIL BOXES.
The Small Boy the AVorry of tha Latter
Gt rriers i-.ow.
The rr.ischievious 3ciall boy of Eav ennah
seems <> be laboring under the delusion that
the United Btaces goveruraeut has had tho
mail package boxes placed in different por
tions of tue city for uis special amusement,
and he is veitmg all tha fun he can out of
the :i.
The carrier, however, cannct see mat
ters in the same light cs the festive
American youth does, and when
on ope.iirg the box's he finds o!u hats,
bootsj sh .os, worn-out clothing and dead
cats, without being properly sealed,
j stamped and addressed, the look of disgust
which comes over his features speaks louder
thou any language.
Tho boys aie u.ider the impression that it
is tneir duty to jam everything they can
i lay th ir nanus upo i into tha boxes, and
when they happen to run across a : ■ Id boot
or shoe or a dead feline in the neighborhood
of one of those boxes It is immedi
ately taken to the package recep acli
and jammed in with yells of deligh*. The
boys are posted on the time of taking out
the co. itents of tho boxes, and when the
can-let appears there is ge icraliy a er wd
at a safe distance superintending tho work,
und as each piece of their mischievous
labor is brought forth ani throw.i ouo side
| they guy the representative of facie Earn
) to th. ir hearts’ content.
Tho matter was taken us a joke for a few
| days, but it is cow becoming annoying, as
: the mail matter iu toe boxes is bound to get
j soiled, and the odor of a departed back
| sued concert sing -r i l no wise improves a
! newspaper or package. The police will be
: asked to keep a lookout, and the Hrst thing
some of tiie yout-tul jokers know they will
! find themselves answering a cbarge.iu the
Uuhed Eta tea courts of tampering with
j Uncle Sam s property.
