The Rogers & Joiner hearing before
the referee In bankrutcy was resumed
yesterday, with Mr. R. M. Rogers, Sr.,
etill on the stand. The work of*the
Eession consisted In a further examina
tion of the books of the concern. At
heretofore, some things showed up on
the books by explanation and investi
gation, but others did not.
Before beginning the testimony yes
terday morning, Mr. Rogers said that
he desired to correct a statement which
he made the day before with reference
to the number of horses owned by his
son, Mr. R. M. Rogers, Jr. He said
that Instead of owning three horses at
Dne time, w hile working for a salary of
565, as he had stated by mistake, he
only hnd one. The other two, he ex
plained, were horses which were used
by the Rico Mining Company or some
that were being kept only for a short
time to try them in view of making a
purchase.
In response to a question as to how
the cash account was kept, Mr. Rogers
paid that he used, in addition to a
cash boolf, a system of slips which
jwtrs posted directly to the ledger. Mr.
Rogers explained how this was done,
showing that the device was for con
venience and was not more liable to
fcnlstakes thun other methoda
All sorts of questions were asked
hbout different sums of money, as to
where they were received from, where
deposited and when paid- out. When
these questions became very numerous,
and many of them required reference
to the books and some calculation, Mr.
Winter Wimberly moved that the court
phould give Mr. Rogers more time. He
Bald that when Mr. Joiner, the plaln-
• tiff, was on the stand, questions had
been submitted to him 1 nwrltlng, so
that he had been allowed plenty of time
to make response. "I think,” he said,
"that Mr. Rogers should be given the
Bame privilege.”
Referee Proudflt said: "That Is .
matter which you will have to discuss
.with the other attorneys.”
Mr. OUn Wimberly, who was con
ducting the examination yesterday, In
stead of Mr. Jones, proceeded with ask
ing questions.
Mr. Rogers was asked to state what
had been his duties in connection with
the Rogers & Joiner Company. He said
thj£it he was tho head of the concern
and managed the finances. He also di
rt cted the traveling men, kept up with
the stock, in the house, on the track,
and on the road. He ujso bought the
• etock.
Several attorneys who were discuss
• log the case after the session said that
very little progress was being made as
to getting at the facts In the situation,
and at best the present Investigation
would be but a foundation for the work
that must later bo done.
The Waters Insist ou Finding; n Xevr
Channel Just Melon the City—Levee
Vs. Jetty.
Uncle Sam is finding the Ocmulgee a
headstrong sort of stream. It insists
on scampering through the swamps be
low’ Macon.according to the dictate of
its own will. For centuries it has been
climbing up out of its bunks and stroll
ing across people's corn fields and cot
ton patches, tearing up crops by the
roots and piling sand wherever the no
tion struck it, and now that Uncle Sam
is trying to put in Jetties to control It
and force it to stay in its bed and be
have Itself, the stream shows an ob
streperous disposition, and seems in
clined to do Just as it pleases anyhow’.
About a quarter of a mile below the
city pork, Just where Walnut streek
runs into the river on one side, and
where the old Georgia railroad bridge
crossed, the river has within the past
eight or ten months picked itself up and
gone a new* route through the swamp.
Its old channel is JUBt as dry as a bone.
And in taking this new route,the waters
did not inquiro as to the proprietorship
of the lands on which they were tres
passing. They showed that they des
pised all of the laws of man. But the
fovernment forces have gone down to
hat point to see about the trouble, and
the people in charge declare that the
river shall come back to its channel. A
Jetty was constructed yesterday di
rectly across the new channel, and to
day stones and battresses will be piled
in, so as to block the progress of the
waters and force them back. "It must
go back where it belongs," was de
clared*
The Jetty will be several feet above
the water when the river Is within its
banks, but the trouble is that when a
freshet comes the waters will go high
er than the Jetty and continue to pour
across the Napier Helds and flood the
farms below there as far as the South
ern railroad bridge.
"Well, if the Jetty cannot stop th£
flooding of the fields and the destruct
ion of our crops, what can we do?”
arked one of the land owners, as he
stood and watched the government
work yesterday.
"Why, If I ha4 money, I would build
a levee,” was the reply made by an
other. "A levee is the only thing that
will stop it. There is in this swamp
land equal in value to all of the other
lands in the county, but rather than
spend a few thousand dollars for a le
vee to keep the river from overflowing
every time there is a freshet, we go
ahead and let our opportunities pass.
Maybe the next generation will have
enterprise and public spirit enough to
reclaim the lands.”

MOCCASIN IN BUCKET
BIT A WOMAN
ftfallmla Nolan Drew Water From
‘i the Well and Was Looking An*
j oilier Way When She Caught It at
I 1ho Top—Snake Dlt Her.
Mullnda Nolan, a washerwoman,
jivont to her well in East Macon yes-
lerday to draw a bucket of water, and,
being so accustomed to drawing up the
bucket and pouring out the water, she
bad learned to do It mechanically,
.without thinking of what she was
doing. At this particular time she
went to the well and drew up the
bucket and reached over to empty the
contents into a pail, looking In another
direction toward some negroes to whom
cue was tu'k'ng, She felt a sudden
tting that was like the pain of fifty
needles sticking into her finger, and on
looking to see what , the trouble # was
she beheld, withering ur.d twisting in
the top of the bucket, omy a lew
inches from her face, & largo moccasin,
which was a yard long and nearly an
inch in diameter. She turned loose
bucket and chain, letting them fall with
the snake back to the bottom of the
rwell. and began to cry for help. The
neighbors went to her aaalatance, and
b colored physician was sent for.
The bite was immediately bandaged.
The woman’s husband came home with
a quart bottle of w’hisky. She w’as
jnade drunk, and kept co for quite a
While. Now’ she Is well, except for the
poreness in the finger.
It is said that it will be some time
be'ore any more negroes in the com
munity can be persuaded to draw
water at this well.

MOTHER WEPT AND
HER CHILDREN WEPT
Affecting Scene In Orriinnry’* Court
ns Two Little Girl* Arc Taken
Away From Thler Mother and
Father and Sent to Orphanufce,
Two pretty little girls, age 9 and 10
years, were given Into the custody of
the Methodist Orphans’ Home yester
day by Ordinary Wiley. Their names
are Nettie and Mamie Hunnlcutt. Ha
beas corpus proceedings were institu
ted before Ordinary Wiley by the father
of .the children, Mr. T. F. Hunnlcutt,
to recover them from their mother. The
children wgre frightened and cried
when being taken to the orphans’
homo after the court’s award.
There were many witnesses In the
case, so that the procedure consumed
tho entire day before the ordinary.
Most of the testimony was from rela
tive^ of the parties Involved.
The claims of Mr. Hunnlcutt were
that the children were being reared In
the midst of improper influences.
Mfj. Fannie Tankersley, ttie mother
of the children, said that she had a sis
ter in lilrrningham whose husband was
making 35 per* day, and that she would
like to have the children sent to tills
sister if the court would not alicw her
(Mrs. Tankersley). to keep them.
Mr. Hunnlcutt and Mrs. Tankersley
separated four or five years ago, and
each has since married again. Since
the separation the children have been
living with their mother in Macon. Mr.
Hunnlcutt lives in the Coal Neck dis
trict of the county, near Walden, and
has a young wife and a baby there,
When he and the present Mrs. Tanker-
•loy separated, he did not resist her ef
fort to get a divorce, and he was will
ing for her to keep Uie children. But
since that time ho has been Impressed
with the Iden that he ought to get them
away from the mother.
After hearing all the arguments and
evidence in the case, Col. Wiley decided
that it would be beat for the children
that, they should not be given to either
of their parenta It was feared in re
gard to Mr. Hunnlcutt that he was not
able financially to make provision for
the children if turned over to him. The
ordinary said that in the light of the
testimony on each side, the orphanage
was the place for the children, and the
father made no protest against sending
them there.
The little girls were In the office of
the ordinary while the case was being
considered. They looked innocently into
the laces or those around, and were
wholly ignorant that they were the
chief object of concern. When the ordi
nary gave his Judgment that they
Bhfiuld go to the Methodist home, an
ifficer was Instructed to take them out
to their new place of abode at once.
He secured a buggy, and then came a
touching scene. The little one* began
to cry on being told that they would
have to leave their mother. Mrs. Tank
ersley also wept when she took tha
children In her arms to tell them good
bye. They were taken to the home and
were left crying loudly.
Col. Wiley said that he thought he
had done the best thing that could be
done, and that It would be best for the
children that they should be separated
from their parents. He said that if an
order could be secured from the probate
judge in the county of Alabama in
which Mrs. Annie Hunnlcutt lives cer
tifying that she is willing and able, and
is the proper person to take the child
ren. he would dllow them to go; but
that In the absence of such knowledge
be would commit them to the care of
the orphans' home.
A little boy, Claude Hemphill, 6 years
old, w*aa lost on the train yesterday
while traveling toward Macon on the
Georgia railroad with his uncle, who
got off the train, forgetting the child.
Chief Bolfeulllet received a letter
yesterday from Mr. W. A. Hemphill of
MiUedgevllle saying that he had inft
Milledgeville and gotten oft at Ivey, a
small station a few miles from Gordon,
and did not take his nephew off with
him. Mr. Hemphill wrote to the chief
of police and to Mr. J. C. Cooper, con
ductor on the train on which he had
been traveling.
He thought that the boy had re
mained on the train and come on to
Macon. But no trace of him lias been
seen. Conductor Cooper says he does
not remember Beeing the boy at any
time.
There was to bo a family reunion at
Ivey yesterday and Mr. Hemphill with
his nephew was coining over from Mll-
ledgevllle to be present; stopping at
Ivey and intending to take his little
nephew off with him.
Several people who knew of the mat
ter advanced theories as to what be
came of the boy. It was thought prob-
ablo that he had fallen off the tram
while it was moving. It was also
thought possible that he got off the
train somewhere at the wrong station,
as soon as lie had missed his uncle.
Thorough search was made In the city
and especially about the union depot,
but uo until a late hour last nlgat
nothing could be heard of the child’s
hereabouts.
The uncle who lost the child is em
ployed at the State Sanitarium.

The Government WUll Honor tb
Memory of the Lnte President Mc
Kinley—As Old Cards Go Out New
Ones Will Creep In.
Tho United States government will
soon have in general circulation a new
postal card in honor of the late Presi
dent McKinley, the postal having his
■picture upon 4t. A few of the new cards
are In circulation and as fast as the
old ones are used the new ones will
creep Into prominence.
The new card Is of exactly the same
size as the one now In use, but Is, on
the whole, an improvement over the old
issue. It 1* to be of better quality of
paper, although it Is somewhat thinner,
and will therefore give a better writing
surface. The printing on the address
side is better arranged and presents a
plainer and more buslneta-llke appear
ance.
On the old card there is considerable
scroll work around the portrait of Jeff
erson. There 1* merely a plain line
around that of McKinley and the words,
"Postage one cent. 18*3-McKinley—
1901.” This is printed In plain type out
side of the line around the portrait.
Just opposite the portrait of McKin
ley in the upper left hand corner is the
#eal of the United States, a!so with a
light line around It. with the words.
"United States” above and ”of Am
erica” ust below and outside the line.
Printed in large letter between the low
er ends of the two are the words. ”Pos-
tal Card.” Jupt above is printed. “The
space above Is reserved for postmark,”
and below in type a little darker, “The
space below Is for the address only.”
AU of this 'printing Is a little above
the center of the card and leaves an
open space for the postmnrk. Nearly
all of the wavy cancellation lines will
pass across the portrait of McKinley,
but the name of the mailing office,
dates and other marks will appear on
the blank between that and the *«»!.
Thi* is an improvement over the old
card, as on that the legibility of the
poatmarks is Interfered with by the
heavy block field for the words, “Unit
ed States of America.”

appropriation for the public schools of
Atlanta.
The committee in doing this, however,
