Jack Reed, a.negro boy, was arrest
ed yesterday by Deputy Sheriff
Godwin, charged with burglarizing the
Sparks-Saxon hardware atore Saturday
night or Sunday morning.
Jack, It Is thought, was caught with
tile goods on. He had on a pair of
overalls and a pair of logglns, both of
which, It Is charged,-were missing
from the stock of the ha dware store
Sunday morning after the burglary.
One of the show windows of the
hardware store was cracked Saturday
blit the proprietors did not think
there would be any danger In closing
up the store Saturday night. When,
however, one of them passed Sunday
Ibornlng, ho found that the whole win
dow pane was missing.
Upon entering the store he found
thnt Ills goods were badly scattered,
and on close examination he discover
ed thnt some of his stock was missing.
He also found .telltale footprints.
The matter wns immediately report
ed to the police authorities. Deputy
Sheriff Godwin took up the case, and
worked It constantly, his reward be
ing the arrest of the negro, alleged
to be the guilty party.
Reed has been In the employ of Mr.
N. W -Wallace, at his farm In East
Dougherty. It seems thnt Reed took
some of the stolen articles, a pistol
nnd shotgun among them, nhd hid
them away at tile farm. They were
turned over to the authorities.
Yesterday Deputy Sheriff Godwin
found Reod about 12 miles south of
Albany. Ho Is now peeping through
the bays of the county jail, pending

P. Price hare purchased from Mr.
H. A. Floyd, his grocery store ,and

take charge of the place nnd run It
hereafter.
Yesterday the store and saloon were
closed, Mr. Floyd taking stock. This
morning, the deal-was consummated,
and the two officers are now In pos-
session.
The announcement of the Intentions
of the two popular policemen to quit
the force 'and engage- in business of
their own comes In the nature of a
surprise to their friends, and to the
people of Albany generally.
Mr. McLarty lias been on the force
about 18 years, and Mr. Price has
been a policeman a large portion of
this time. Both of them were consid
ered among the most popular and of-
flclrfnt policemen that Albany ever
had, and the police department suf
fers considerable In their retirement.
It is hoped by the friends of Messrs.
McLarty and Price that they will suc
ceed In their undertaking.
It Is stated that the store and sa
loon will bo run as before, but that
new fixtures will be Installed.

pulled through, and Is now entirely
well.

Price- have- tendered their resigna
tions to the police commission, and
they will be accepted at a called meet
ing tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock,
and their successors will he elected.
The mcetnlg will be held In the city
hall.
It Is understood that several appli
cations for the vacancies have been
made. Chief Westbrook said tills
morning that he regretted very much
the loss of the two popular officers, as
they were always a credit to the de
partment, and were among Ills most
reliable men.
The telephone manners of some peo?
pie in this town are mighty bad. They
appear to he utterly unable to speak
Into the 'phone until they have first
demanded, “Who’s that?” It Is im
possible for the person answering
the “ring” to avoid this by announc
ing number of 'phone and the name.
For example: .Tones, who Is one of
the confirmed "Who’s-that-ers,” rings
Smith's phone. Smith answers, and
In doing so distinctly announces Ills
number and who It Is at the ’phone,
when Jones comes right hack with
his abrupt and Ill-mannered “Who’s
that?” He can’t be cut out of saying
It, and It s'eems impossible ,'or him
to speak what he wants to say Into
the ’phone until he has first bawled,
“Who’s that?”
There is no use guessing what the
weather will do. Unless you are a
