CAPT DILLON TKLLS WHY
Borne Inside History of the Two-Office
BilL
Savannah, Os., Jan. 7. W —To
the People of Chatham County: I
deem It my duty to make to you a state
ment of facts, partly of a personal ehar
acter, but of public alenltuar.ee. .which
merits your attention.
By your kind suffrage. I have, for a
number of term*, held the office of re
ceiver of tar return*. If any fault ha*
been found with the administration of
the office, I have yet to learn of it. I have
also held for a number of years the posi
tion of clerk for the board of county • om
missioners, and, 1 believe, to the ontire
satisfaction of all the boards under whom
I have served. I have been select*- * ty
boards appointed by the gov* rnor. chosen
by the grand jury, and elected by the peo
ple. The position has never paid more
than $75 a month. While it may be techni
cally an “office.” it can hardly be so re
garded except in a purely technical sense.
The incomes from both sources have not
been large enough to threaten m*‘ with
either riches or pride, or to • x< ito any
alarm on the part of the most demo* ratio.
Soley because I have been r.n outspoken
opponent of a ceitain faction in Savannah,
I was selected by some of the leaders of
the Citizens’ Club, as the sp*' iai mark for
their personal spite, and one of 11 *• pet
schemes of these leaders (some of whom
had become our representatives in the leg
islature,) was fhe bill recently pass* and to
prevent a Chatham county resident hold
ing two offices. In their support of tins
measure there entered neither public
spirit nor public seal. If was exclusively
personal, designed to do in*- pecuniary
harm. If I had been a member <*f the>
Citizens’ Club and hud supported its ticket
at the primary, th- bill would never have
been Introduced. Whether you approve of
the measure or not. you cannot indorse
this motive or spirit.
The representatives who were prominent
in the advocacy of the measure were Mr.
W. W. Osborne, the senator, (the presi
dent of the Citizens’ club.) and Mr. J. J.
Doglan. one of its most active members*
They publicly and privately advocated it
as a wise and proper law in furtherance
of the public good. \V hilc I have just
Mated my own opinion as to the Inspira
tion of the measure, they and their sup
porters must, of course, claim that I do
their motives injustice, and that they
really thought that the public interest de
manded the passage of this law. tn their
oath of qualification as members of the
legislature are the words: “On all ques
tions and measures whi< h may - ome be
fore me I will so conduct myself a- will,
in my Judgment, be most conducive to the
interests and prosperity of the ; fate.”
They must, perforce, therefore take the
position that they introduced and advo
cated this bill b* cause they thought it
would he “conducive to the interests and
prosperity of the state.” Consistently
with their oath of office, they c annot base
their support upon any other groun-k
You will, therefore, be interested to learn
that these two representatives, (Messrs.
Osborne and Poolan) were prepared to
trade on this bill and to abandon it if,
by this, they could advance the candidacy
of the nominee of their club for the may
oralty. On the L'6th or J7th day of last
November, I was called upon by a gentle
man. as a mutual friend of mine and of
Mr. Herman Myers, the nominee of the
Citizens’ Cluh, and I was shown an ori
ginal telegram to Mr. Myers, signed W.
\V. Osborne and J. J Doolan, which
stated: “Deem it best that the two-office
bill pass the House. Will hold it up in
the Senate subject to your advice.”
A few days after this another promi
nent member of the Citizens’ Club, and
whose influence with Mr. Doolan is known
to be controlling, raw a friend of mine,
knowing his friendly int nv: t in me. and
said to him that if he would go on .Mr.
Myers' ticket this bill would be with
drawn altogether. The proposed "dicker”
was not encouraged. In Justice to all
concerned, 1 wish to ad l that before Mr.
Myers became the nominee of th> Cit
izens Club, a frined of mine, without
consulting me, and without my knowl
edge. saw Mr, Myers In niy Interest to
secure his Influence against the passage
of this bill; that Mr. Myers, as 1 learned
from this friend, had expressed him
aelf as being opposed to It, and endeav
ored to prevent its passage. Whether
Mr. Myers continued his efforts after he
had learned that not even my neutrality
could be secured in the municipal cam
paign, I do not know. The fact is that
I did not encourage the hope of this
neutrality, and that the bill passed.
There can be no doubt (whatever may
have been the inducement that operated
upon Mr. Myers) that, if 1 had become a
supporter of Mr. Myers, or hud abandoned
my support of l>r. Duncan, this "two-
Office” bill would have "died a natural
death,” and "the terrible outrage” of one
man holding two oillces would have con
tinued. If you venture to inquire what
this measure, introduced because it was
■'conducive to the interests and prosper
ity of the state," had to do with the ques
tion as to who should he mayor of Sa
vannah, I must confess my inability to
answer. The occurrence may be at least
one of several interesting episodes in the
career of the club whose leaders organ
lad and controlled solely "for pure poli
ties und reform." Those members of
this great organization who really
thought that 1 ought not to hold two
offices may be interested to learn now
how easily I could have defeated this
statesmanlike legislation. Very. Respect
fully, John it. Dillon.
A HANDSOME GRAVESTONE.
A Design That Is an Ornament to Beau
tiful Bonaventure Cematery.
One of the handsomest and most ele
gant tombstones to be found in Savan
nah’s burial grounds is that which has
just been erected over the grave of Mrs.
C. C. Taliaferro, in the southeastern cor
ner of Bonaventure cemetery. Mrs. Talia
ferro died Feb. 15, 1894. The design Is of
Italian marble, consisting of a marble
ba-s--. with a raised cross. At each end of
each bar of the cross Is a short column of
the Corinthian style, and upon these four
columns rests another cross slightly/ in
clined. On this cross is Inscribed "Marie
M. Barclay, beloved wife of C. C. Talia
ferro," with the date of her birth and
death. At one of the corners of the cross
stands a handsome statue of an angel,
in white Italian marble, and in her hand
she holds a palm branch, w hich rests upon
the upper cross. The design is entirely
original one, and was made by Messrs.
P. Reinhalter & Cos. of Philadelphia, from
suggestions furnished them by Mr. Talia
ferro. The piece is quite a handsome one,
and has been admired by a great many
who have noticed it particularly in pass
ing.

OZOHOIA'S EASLY COCRTB.
Mr. C. N. Went*. Paper Before the His
torical society.
An fnterestlnc picture upon the "'early
judicial history of Georgia.” was read
by Mr. C. X. West at the meeting of
the Georgia Historical Society last night.
The attendance upon th- meeting was
larger theji usual, and Mr. West's paper
was very much enjoyed.
Mr. West showed that he had made
a thorough and exhaustive search of
the reeoras of the early ju
dicial history of the state. He
Kgan will’ the time when
O tlethorpe installed his three bajiffs in
th> first goverv.ment building ever erect
ed 'Ji Georgia where tho custom house
now stands, and continued ihe subject
<lon until the c.’ose of Ihe revolutionary
period. He showed that the adminis
• ration of justice in early colonial times
was ex -eedingly crude, and governed |
more b; r the prejudices and interests j
cf the administrators than by any higher
motive. There were some good men on (
the bench previous to the revolution, but
this was the exception and not the rule.
During the revolutionary period the ad- j
ministration of Justice was irregular and
infrequent, the Judge* being kept on the j
move by the frequent reverses of the I
isurlot army.
An Interesting paper was received front ,
the state department, being an order Is- j
sued by President James K. Polk in I
IS<7. confirming a purchase made by the
Historical Society from the government
tn IS2X of a lot in E>< rby ward. Jekyl
tything, being the same lot now occu
pied by J. J. Sullivan's restaurant on
Ifryan street. This had been the site of
the old custom house which was burned
down. The lot was secured by the society
and the building erected which still
stands there, and which was used by the
sot iety for many years.
THE HEW TERMINAL COMPANY.
The Stockholders Organize Under Their
Recently Granted Charter.
The stockholders of the Savannah Rail
road and Terminal Company met yester
day and organized and elected the follow
ing- officers:
J’resident—Pope Harrow.
General Manager and Superintendent—
James W. McA lpln, Jr.
Secretary and Treasurer—Walter P. La-
Ro'-he.
The company has Just been chartered
and will at once build wharves on the
river, on the lower water front of the
Hermitage tract, and proposes to con
struct a railroad to the Junction of the
Central, Florida Central and Peninsular,
and tlie Charleston and Savannah rall
roiuls. The company owns 120 acres of
land lying on the river, and extending
back a sufficient distance to give it ex
celli nt terminal facilities for handling any
kind of business. When the road Is com
pleted it will connect with all three of
the above roads at the point where they
form a Junction with each other. It will
also be In position to connect with ihe
other roads now in process of construc
tion from Ihe interior to Savannah.
The enterprise will undoubtedly be an
advantage to the business of the port, as
it affords superior additional terminal
facilities to those railroads which have
none of their own, and it also gives to
those engaged in shipping business addi
tional facil.tles.
The location on the wa*er front is ex
cellent. The ground is high and dry and
the current Is next the hank, giving al
ready seventeen and a half feet at mean
high water, which will he increased within
a few months by the harbor improvement
to about twenty feet.

THE MOKXIXG NEWS: TUESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1895.
A SURVIVOR OF A MASSACRE.
Louis Fatio Who Was Maj. Dade’s
Guide Dies at Jacksonylils.
Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 7.—Louis Fatio,
a full blooded negro ninety-five years of
age, and for nearly half a century the
only survivor of the Dade massacre tn the
Seminole war of 1835, died in this eity last
night and the body was interred to-day at
Magnolia, on the St. Johns river. Fatio
was owned and reared by the ancestors
of the Fatio family in this county. The
venerable Mrs. Susan Fatio Lengle of this
eity. In her girlhood, taught Fatio to read
and write. He used to have a habit of
running away and returning to his master
after a long period. For some years he
lived with the Seminole Indians and
learned their ways, habits and language,
and it was on account of this familiarity
with the savages that Maj. Dade took
Fatio as a guide, when he started out on
his fatal expedition from Fort Brooke.
Historians differ as to the part the negro
guide played in the massacre, most of
th-ni declaring that he betrayed Maj. Dade
and his soldiers to the Indians, and that
ns a reward for It the Seminoles spared
his life. Hut Fatio claims that he was
actually surprised by the Indians while
showing Maj. Dade the way. and that he
escaped the scalping knife by falling on
his face and pretending to be dead. One
soldier and this negro guide were the only
survivors of the massacre, out of a force
of several hundred men and officers.

The above advertisement is condensed
from a large advertisement in a New
York daily. It is the advertisement of
one of the leading dry goods houses of
the country. Good or bad as it may be,
it is far ahead of the average advertise
ment. While 1 believe that the firm name
should almost always be at the bottom
of the advertisement, the fact that so
many houses insist upon its being at the
top, is good evidence that such arrange
ment has its advantages. The advertiser
must use his own judgment. This firm
advertises in the same advertisement,
without any attempt at separation, seven
kinds or styles of dress goods, presuming
that every woman is either as much in
terested in all as in one, or that she will
pick out the one she Is interested in. Not
withstanding the weight of the argument
against me, I believe that the dry goods
advertisement, as well as the advertise
ment of all other lines, should seldom an
nounce more than one specialty, or one
apparent specialty. One specialty at a
time advertising brings new customers.
I don't like the paragraph reading, "S.,
J. & Cos. will offer on Monday next a very
choice line of.” "Ready Monday" Is
shorter, and means just as much, and it is
generally bad form to use initials. "All
new and fresh" seems c. better expression
than "All new, fresh gdbds,” for "goods"
is understood. It is presumed that "dress
lengths" mean that not lass than a full
dress pattern will be sold, "but there are
some women, even in this intelligent
land, who may not so understand it. For
those who believe that many Styles of
goods can be advertised in the same ad
evrtisement. the following is presented as
another way of advertising the same ar
ticles. It is, of course, understood that
this advertisement is much reduced in
size, and that its proper display requires
more space?
