COULDN’T FIND NEAR
BEER IN SAVANNAH
Governor's Man Threatens
To Make Gases.
Savannah. Ga., Sept. 29. —“I don’t
believe there is any such thing as
near beer, but whether there is or not
I will be back in Savannah when the
grand jury meets and those who do
not pay up will be convicted of some
thing.”
With this parting shot, R. A. Ewing,
who came to Savannah for the purpose
of rounding up the near beer dealers
who had not paid the state tax of S2OO
left for Macon, where he will try tc
collect the tax there.*
Ewing admitted that he was disap
pointed in the showing he had made
here. Out of twenty-five to which his
list was finally sifted down, he says
he expected to collect from at least;
seventeen without trouble. As it is j
the ordinary’s books show, and Ewing
admits, he has collected but six.
Ewing says he is leaving a Savan
nah man in charge of the task of col
lecting evidence against the near beet
people. He refuses to divulge the
name of the man he has engaged foi
this purpose, saying he prefers liin
to do the work secretly.
Mr. Ewing says, however, he wili
show the Savannah dealers in neat
beer that he was not bluffing, but will
be back when the grand jury meets:
in October to present the evidence he
has against them. He says he has
evidence, having bought beer in every
place in the city which he charges
with not having paid the license.
Ewing plumes himself on having
collected something, and says that the
state is better off by $1,200 on account
of his visit to Savannah. He gets $lO.
or 5 per cent, out of every license
taken out,,and therefore realized S6O
from his several days’ stay here. He
would have made quite a killing if he
had collected the tax from everyone
he charged with being a delinquent.
The or at least those
charged by Ewing with being such
were rather disappointing. He says
they met him pleasantly when he
made his first call on them and prom
ised to come across pm niptly and
make a visit to the ordinary’s office
with S2OO, a feature of their next day’s
program. When they did not show up
he visited them again and met with
one excuse and another.
The next thing he knew he was be
■ng called for by attorneys, engaged
by the near beer dealers, to talk the
thing over. Ewing says there was
nothing in it for him to talk to the
lawyers, and he did not pay any at
tention to them. He does not seem to
think he gets an even break when
he goes up against the legal lights
and would have nothing of it. The
outcome of the case will be awaited
with a great deal of interest.

WHEN THE SAVANNAH
CROSSED THE ATLANTIC
Story Recalled by the Ful
ton Celebration
English Thought Vessel
Part of a Scheme to
Liberate Napoleon
Savannah, Ga., SeiHember 29.
The Hudson-Fulton celebration re
calls the incidents connected with the
first crossing of the ocean by a steam
vessel. It had been the dream of Ful
ton to apply his new invention to
ocean navigation. During the war of
1812 he proposed to build a steam war
vessel for the government, but it was
too daring a venture for the slow
coaches of the Madison administra
tion. It was in 1819 that the Savan
nah, a steam craft built in New York
for some enterprising citizens of Sa
vannah, Ga., crossed the Atlantic and
gave England the scare of her life,
the rumor gaining curency that the
ship was designed to effect the escape
of Napoleon from St. Helena. The
bare thought of such a thing at that
time was enough to set not only Great
Britain to shaking in her boots, but
to put all the monarchies of Europe
a-tremble. The steamer made her
trial trip first to Savannah, having as
a passenger from Charleston James
Monroe, then president of the United
States. It was then determined to at
tempt to cross the ocean.
The vessel was under the command
of Capt. Stevens Rogers, a former
naval officer. A number of amusing
incidents occurred during the visit of
the ship to the countries on the other
side. As the Savannah approached the
Irish ocast the black smoke issuing
from her funnels was discovered by
the officers of the signal station at
Fastnet Rock, and information was
sent that a vessel on fire was ap
proaching. The admiral in command
sent a fast cutter well manned to the
relief of the burning ship, but great
was the wonder of those on board al
their total inability, under all sail
and with a good breeze, to overhaul
a vessel under bare poles. Several
shots were fired by the cutter to at
tract the attention of the supposed
burning vessel, and after Capt. Rog
ers had had bis fun over the bewil
derment of the English officers his en
gines were stopped and the British
cutter permitted to come alongside.
Soon after the Savannah dropped
her anchor in the harbor of Liverpool
a boat manned by sailors in the uni
form of the British navy and com
manded by a young lieutenant came
alongside. In the tone then usually
employed by British naval officers in
addressing Americans, the young lieu
tenant haughtily demanded of Capt.
Rogers by what authority he carried
the pennant flying at the mainmast
head. The captain quietly replied
that it was by the authority of his
government. The officer still using
his supercilious tone, said his com
mander considered it an insult and
ordered the American to haul it down,
intimating that if it were not speedily
done his sailors would pull it down.
This fired the Yankee, and turning to
his officer of the deck he instructed
him to take down the pennant and
hoist in its stead the broad blue pen
nant of a commander of a squadron,
and then in a loud tone ordered the
engineer to “get the hot-water pipes
ready.” This was enough for the
young Englishman, and he quickly
left the Yankee vessel.
The Savannah visited France, Swe
den, and St. Petersburg, but every
where was followed at a distance by
several British war vessels, which
were ordered to keep her in sight and
■ find out what deviltry she was up to
Until Napoleon died on his lonely
rock England was in constant dread
lest some Yankee craft would steal
him away and was ever on the watch
to prevent the success of any such at
tempt.

DOCTOR IS FINED FOR
THE SALE OF BAYRUM
Thnmasville Has An Al
ledged Tiger Case
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 29.—A new phase
of the state prohibition law has devel
oped in a case at Thomasville carried
to the supreme court and which bids
fair to reach the state court of ap
peals. The case is the city of Thom
asville against Dr, M. T. Pike, a prom
inent druggist, who was fined SIOO
for having in his store, for the alleged
purpose of illegal sale, an intoxicat
ing liquor Called bay rum.
It is claimed by officers, who raid
ed the place, that they found seventy
one half pints and six pints of the
concoction on hand, which was to be
sold at 50 cents a p'nt or 25 cents for
a half pint.
This drink, it is stated, contained a
large per cent of alcohol and just
enough of the essence of bay rum to
kill the alcoholic smell. In many
cases the odor of bay rum was not
perceptible; in fact, it is alleged, that
it was alcohol put in bay rum bottles
The trial of Dr. Pike was the first
of three cases made under a city ordi
nance which prohibits the keeping of
liquor for illegal sale. The other,
druggists have been made defendants
in similar cases. The bay rum
phase, it appears, has developed at
Brunswick, Valdosta and Moultrie,
where cases, it is claimed, are soon
to be made.
The central figure in the prosecu
tion of the Thomasville case is Judge
S. A. Roddenbery, city attorney, who
it will he recalled, was one of the
leaders of South Georgia in the late
state prohibition fight.
AMERICAS MAN FINDS A
FORTUNE IN WALNUT TREK
He Realized Its Value and Hastened
To Get It.
Mr. H. YV. Smithwick, the gunsmith,
has at his store on Cotton avenue a
number of huge slabs of walnut, all
of large size and remarkably fine
grain, which is worth in the aggregate
several hundred doHars. The tree
from which the lumber was sawed
grew near the sidewalk in front of the
old R. C. Black property here. When
the city’s street force was about to
cut down the sidewalk there to level
it, Mr. Smithwick volunteered to do
the work, free of cost, if the tree was
given him, and thus secured, gratis,
a magnificent timber tree four feet
in thickness and worth perhaps S4OO
or SSOO. The walnut will he worked
up into expensive gun stocks and fine
furniture.
Some alleged thoughtless acts have
been carefully thought out.
And so, after all, the north pole is
a tneory.

The Cause of Many

down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from a derangement of the kidneys and
better health in that organ is obtained
quickest by a proper treatment of the kid
neys. Swamp-Root corrects inability to
hold urine and scalding pain in passing it,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity
of being compelled to go often through
the day, aud to get up many times during
the night. The mild and immediate effect
of Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
is soon realized. It stands the highest be
cause of its remarkable health restoring
properties. A trial will convince anyone.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle and a book that tells all
