6 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. JWEDICAL _ _ pW***sW*#* **>**A':*# * YOUNG MOTHERS| ....

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. CITY BREVITIES. The will of the late Eugene Kelly of New York, provides that his real estate in this city shall not be sold until, in the opinion of the executors, it would be detrimental to hold on to it longer. Comrade G. N. Saussy will deliver an address, "The Story of the Crater," be fore tho Confederate Veterans’ Associa tion to-night at the Knights of Pythias hall. Mr. Saussy is a veteran of the Georgia Hussars, nnd has a record of be ing one of the best soldiers in that army of heroes, the Army of Northern Virginia.

There was considerable ap prehension as to her safety by friends of the passengers on board, but her arrival without disaster relieved them. A survey was yesterday held of the British bark Lebu, which went aground on Gaston bank about a month ago, and was taken off and towed to this port leaking. She was keeled over, to allow her bottom to be examined, there not being water enough at the marine railway to float her. The surveyors found that the rudder pin was broken, and that the rudder was twisted. Her bottom on the side exposed, was In apparent good order, the leak being about the rudder stock. A further examination will be made In a day or two, when recommenda tions for repairs will be made. 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. LONG AND SHORT HAULS.

A QUESTION Of JUDGMENT, BY SATH t C. roWI.ER, JB., DOCTOR OF PUBLICITY. (Copyright 1891 by the Trade Company, Boston) SMITH, JONES & CO. Dress Lengths S. J. A C’o will offer on Monday next a very choice line of Diagonals, Screes, Hop Sackings, Homespuns, i Stripes, Checks, and Plain Colors In Dress Patterns for Holiday Presents. All New Fresh Goods Marked at Very Low Prices. Broadway and (st St. I 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? All Around Dresses Style, comfort, wear—the trini'y of perfect dressing—diagonals, serg es, hop sackings, homespuns, checks, stripes, and plain colors—nothing less than a dress pattern—just from the mills—there can be nothing newer or fresher—and the prices— they would seem less than cost if we didn't know hew to buy.
