Fata of W. S. Love Still Shrouded in
Mystery.
Chas. Taylor Must Keep the Peace
Says Justice Bibb.
Y. M. C. A. Reception Thursday a
Success In Spite of Rain.
Special to the '£imes-Enterprise:
Savannah, Ga., July 10.—The fate of
W. S.' Love of Quincy, Fla., who was
last seen in the surf at Tybee, is yet un
desided. Opinion is divided as to the
matter. Appearances would indicate that
he was drowned, but no body has been
recovered. A man answering to his
description took the train for Columbia,
S. O.'at tlie, Union Station Wednesday
night. It isfhought by some that he i3
endeavoring to hide his whereabouts
with a view to collecting $15,000 insur
ance which he carries. '
Tint THOMASVILLE SIDE OF THE STORY.
Messrs. W. L. Ball and T. J. Ball,
brothers-in-law of Love, went to Savan
nah Friday afternoon to investigate his
disappearance. They state that Love
was a man of correct habits, and was
never known to drink. They claim that
he was"well-to-do and had no financial
troubles. They scout the idea of a dis
appearance for purposes of fraud, and
say that Mr. Love, if he has disappeared,
has surely been drowned.
In spite of a pouring rain that would
ordinarily have kept people indoors, the
house warming at the Y. M. C. A.
Thursday night was well attended. An
encouraging feature, too, of the attend
ance was the predominance of young
Chas^ Taylor, a negro who was em
ployed at Wbiddon’s mill, has been
placed under a $50 peace bond by Justice
W. H. Bibb..
A few days ago a dispute arose be
tween Mr. R. F. Whiddon and the ne
gro, who was employed by him, as to
the amount of wages due. The negro
became impudent and Mr. Whiddon
struck him, so' the evidence showed.
He walked away, muttering threats and
J. M. Dykes, a prominent citizen of
Merrillville spent Friday in this city.
The ladies of the auxiliary had gone to
great trouble to provide Chinese lanterns
and similar attractions for the grounds,
thinking that most of the entertaining
would be done there. It was a severe
disappointment therefore when a winter
rain set in at 7 o’clock, to last through
the evening. The grounds are the part
of Wannleigh that most of the work so
far has been put upon. They were the
only part that did not appear to advant
age Thursday.
Beside the daintier articles of lemon
ade and cake, thirty-five ice cold water
melons were on /hand, and when the
hundred and fifty guests had gone there
was something to eat still left.
A great many generous souls brought
books, or sofa cushions or pictures for
the adornment of the house. The gift
of Mrs. J. T. Culpepper was of such size
that she was unable to bring it with her.
It was nothing less than a piano, and it,
with an organ, the donor of which re-

Lots Ten and One Hundred.
Senator Hopkins has interested him
self in the controversy of the state
against the present owners of lots ten
and one hundred in each county. He
maintains that the equity of the case
demands that the present owners be un
disturbed, inasmuch as they and their
predecessors have paid in the last sixty
years more than the the value of the
land to the state in taxes. He will in
troduce legislation to protect the present
owners at'this session of the legislature.
Nineteen attachments have been ser
ved against Thomas county residents on
those lots during the past few days.
Mrs. Adele P. Taylor entertained most
charmingly at a cob-web party ^t her
