From tho Savannah Morning Xuwb.
A plan for tile re-organization of
the Georgia Central railroad lias been

Hr. R. R. Odnni of Raker County Paw
e. Away n. 111. Home.
From Hominy's Evening Herald.
Mr. R. B. Odum, who has been ill for
some time at his home near Newton in
Baker couhty, died from pneumodia
yesterday about 13 o’clock.
Mr. Odum lived with bis family, bis
wife and several children, about two
miles this side of Newton, and has for
fifteen or sixteen years been tax ool-
lector ot Baker county. lie lias been
confined to his bed for several days
with a bad case of pneumonia, which
on yesterday resulted seriously. He
was about 45 years old, and had life
insurance to the amount of $5,000,
Mr. Odum has always been one of
tile best citizens of Baker county. He
was highly respected ami be
loved by everybody who knew
him. He is said to have been one of the
best nurses in tills section especially
in eases of hemorrhagic fever, which
under bis care and treatment neady
always recovered. His death is a sail
blow to all who knew'Inm intimately
as well as to his family.
Strange to say that four prominent
men.living within the same district,
the Ninth district of Baker county,
have passed away almost within a
month. Firsttliere was Senator Reuben
Jones, then Dr. M. S. Davis, Mr. J. D.
Winchester, and now Sir. Odom.
Baker county is thus mourning the
untimely loss of . several of , her best
citizens. -
From Monday’. Evening Herald.
On.Satiirday night the city is usually'
thronged with Negroes, ninny of whom
come in from the country to spend
tlieir week's enrnings nnd indulge in
n frolic of some kind, nnd occasionally
wind up in a drunk.
Under the circumstances it is a won
der that on these occasions there is
not much more disorder than there
really is, nnd tile Inok of it is attri
butable only to the excellence of Al
bany’s police force, Mnny of the
would-be law brenkers are deterred
from their evils by the constant dread
of these ever watchful guardians of
the public pence.
A CUTTING FRAY,
On Saturday night n white man,
named Bob Pulmcr, nnd a Negro,
limned Bill Matthews, had a falling
out which came near resiiltiugserioiis-
ly for the Negro, at least.
Palmer is a fisherman nnd is well-
known in the city. lie said that lie
had dropped a half dollar, which he
accused the Negro of picking up. This
the Negro denied and duringtlie quar
rel lie cursed Palmer very freely.
Palmer drew his knife nnd attempted
to out Matthews, hut the knife' broke
square off at the hilt, and the result
was that only a flesh wound was In
flicted on the Negro’s head. Botli
were arrested, hut when it was found
that the Negro was not hurt, they
were released, and city cases were
booked against^tliem for quarreling,
flgijtlr.g nnd oursing on the streets.
ANOTHER DIFFICULTY.
Mr. Frnnk Lehman nml Mr. Charley
Ferrell had a failing on Saturday
night. They quarrelled for a while
and a few blows were passed, but
friends soon interferred and they
were separated. City eases were made
against them for quarrelling and dis
order.
A FEW PLAIN DRUNKS.
Andrew Jordan, a Negro, was ar
rested and taken in tow on a charge of
drunk on the streets, It was just a
plain drunk, but Andrew was pulled
and given a chance to sweat it out.
A white man named Reich, who is a
railroader, was also arrested on a
oharge of drunk, whloh was devoid of
plainness. In fact it was replete with
trimmings, and he will probably
find that there is a higher tariff on the
luxuries than on the plain necessities
of such an experience. Reich went to
several houses down on Washington
street and began to frighten the oc
cupants by loud talk and threats. He
was pulled in by Officers Mooney and
Kemp who say that he was crazy
drunk. Drunk and disorder is the
charge to which lie will have to an
swer in Mayor’s Court on Wednesday
morning.
Than., F. Ac W. Engineer* All Right.
Several days ago it was rumored
that there would be some trouble be
tween the engineers and managers of
tile S., F. & W. R. H., on acoount of a
proposed reduction in the salary paid
the engineers.
The matter, however, was quietly
and peaceably settled in Savannah on
Saturday by a conference of a commit
tee from the road, and one from the
engineers at which Chief Arthur was
present. A new contract was drawn
up, and it was agreed to maintain the
old rate of 3% cents per mile, instead
of reducing it to II cents ns was pro
posed. The road lias no desire to treat
its engineers and other employes in
any other than a square manner.
REMENTENCED TO HANG.
From Monday'* Evening Herald.
Yesterday was an almost perfeot
day for church-goers and they appre
ciated it. Grim Winter has not yet
chilled the Deoember atmosphere with
his loy frosts, and the elements seem
to be hovering In doubt between Janu
ary and May. Yesterday we had an
Intermingling of the two in the de
lightful harmony of a perfeot Sabbath
day.
The pulpit of the Baptist ohuroli was
filled in the morning by the regular
pastor Rev. E. B. Carroll. His text
was taken from the gospel according
to Matthew, 37th ehapter and 87th
verse. He applied this text to a ser
mon on unbelievers, ahd showed what
misery and trouble is brought into the
world simply by a laok of faith. There
was an unusually large congregation
present and the ohoir rendered some
excellent music.
In fact, the muslo at ail the ahurches
Is far above the average, and this
beautiful prnise service is admired and
and loved by all Christian ohuroli-go-
ers.
At tho Presbyterian cliureh Rev. W.
W. BrJuitn preached to quite a large
congregation. His text was “Ambition
as Contrasted with Humility.” lie
took ns an example tile life of Christ,
nnd showed how he had chosen a life
of humility and righteousness, in
stead of gratifying any worldly am
bition that may have oome to him. He
told in a beautiful way of how He
chose tho lamb instead of the lion, the
dove instead of the eagle. Mr. Brimm’s
sermon was a beautiful picoe of gospel
teaohing.
At the Methodist eliuroh yesterday
mornlngRev. W. J. Robertson prcaoli-
ed his last sermon before conference.
His text was taken from John 10,-33,
“What I have written I have written."
From this he drew the subject, “The
firmness of Pilate.” He spoke of
Pllnte’s firmness In refusingto change
the InBorjption which bad been writ
ten over the cross of Christ. This ho
applied to tlm Christian duty of all
people toibe firm and unflinohing in
what wail right. Mr. Robertson leaves
to-mojrrpw morning for conference at
Columbus. The Methodist pulpit was
filled last night by Rev. Mr. Beals, of
Blaokshear.
Rev. W. E. Eppes, at tlio Episcopal
ohuroh, preached on “The ministry a
divine institution standing between
God and man.” He began with the
suooession of prophets and preaohers,
whloh led up to the ministry of John
the Baptist and then that of Christ,
establishing the institution as one in
spired by Divinity. Mr. Eppes
preaohed an excellent sermon, and a
large congregation was present.

liana of All Nor la.
Tlie glory of 5 piece of roasted moat
lies in tho preservation of its juices.
Tliis may be best done by placing the
meat in a very hot oven, at first, until
it Is lightly browned. This "sets” the
juices and causes a ooating to form on
tlie outside to keep all' juice from es
caping. After the first fifteen minutes
the oven may be allowed to cool some
what, so that tlie meat has a chance to
become thoroughly cooked without
being burned on the outside.
UNDERDONE MEAT.
“It is fallacy to suppose that under
done meat is wholesome," said a phy
sician. “It. is distinctly wholesome.
All food—meat, vegetables and breads
—must be proporly cooked If they are
to bo properly digested. In soliools,
especially, half-cooked beef Is frequent
ly given to boyB with the idea that It Is
strengthening. Tills is a mistake; it
is never half as wholesome or digesti
ble ns If thuroughiy oookod. It Is true
that sometimes shredded raw beef is
given In exhausting diseases, but this
Is ns a medicine, and, like most medi
cines, It Is positively injurious to
healthy persons.”

Something is always going down,
but the only declining feature
about our goods is the price. That
can’t drop much more without
touching wholesale figures. Such
a magnificent stock of Furniture
going at ridiculously low figures is
attracting crowds of purchasers
anxious to secure the choicest
articles, and the scene presented is
like a procession of depositors try
ing to get their money from a sus
pended bank. Come and get just
what you need before your choice
has been taken by an earlier buyer.
Furniture in all the latest styles
and patterns, parlor suites, bed- -
room suites, chairs, tables and an
endless variety of other articles
are selling at laughably low prices.
By an early inspection, you will be'
spared the poor consolation of see
ing what you have missed.

A Correction.
A paragraph from ail editorial in
the Herald on a bill introduced some
days ago by Mr. FI. R. Jones, reads:
Mi-. Jones introduced a bill in Lite House yes
terday to authorize tlie Governor to cause to lie

degree of consanguinity or deceased widows 11

The mistake lies in the word “de

John Grooms, the Negro who killed
bailiff Jim Hamlin, in Worth county,
about three years ago, and whose trial
haB been pending in the courts ever
since, was resentenced by Judge
Bower at Isabella yesterday, and Jan
uary 6th was the day fixed for the
execution.
Grooms lias had able counsel and his
case lias been stubbornly fought. He
was sentenced to hang when first tried,
but his ease was carried to tbe.jiu
preme Court. The Supreme Court sus
tained the’ court below, and Grooms
has now been sentenced the second
time by Judge Bower.
Grooms has spent most of the time of
his long imprisonment in the Dough
erty county jail. Several months ago,
however, for some reason, lie was
transferred to the Bibb county jail 1
He was brought to this city by Sheriff
Cox this morning, and is now. Ironed
and in a ceil in the Dougherty county
jail. He is to be kept here until the
time for his execution arrives.
The last hope for him seems to
have been dispelled, and nothing that
his lawyer can do for him now will
probably save his life or stave, off his
execution. The hanging will take
place at Isabella on Friday, January 6.
The Amerlous Tlmes-Recorder of
yesterday oontains the following in
regard to the appointment of a perma
nent rcoeiver to take oharge of the af
fairs of the Sam road:
As was generally expected and de
sired, Col. S. H. Hawkins has been ap
pointed permanent receiver for the
Savannah, Amerious & Montgomery
railroad.
The appointment was duly made by
His Honor, Judge Fish, in oliamberB
Saturdny, nnd Mr. T. Edward Hnmble-
ton, of Baltimore,, was made co-re
ceiver.
It is expected by tlie parties who are
taking such an active interest in the
company’s finances that some plan will
be consummated within the next sixty
days looking to tlie complete restora
tion of the property.
The general outline of tills plan, it
is said, contemplates not only the
payment of al! the road’s floating in
debtedness, but for providing also a
good surplus fund to be placed in trust
for the payment of next year’s inter
est.
On the whole the outlook is favor,
able, to spy the least, and those inter
ested are inclined to take a clieerful
view of the situation under all the dr
cumstances.

It is gratifying to know that tlie
Soldier’s Home struggle in the House
,has at last been terminated successful
ly, even though with the limitation
that the matter be left to the vote of
the people at the January election,
There is no doubt but that the people
will recognize the institution, and it
will be aocepted by a very large ma
jority ot the people voting.. It now re
mains for the Senate to tako the mat
ter up at once and carry it successful
ly through that body. There remains
but a short time for the work be
done, and the Senate should recognize

Negro Tenant* and Cropper* Dodging
Their I.u..Jtord* and Factor*.
Two or three days ago the IIehald
quoted a farmer who said that the Ne
groes of this seotion of tho oountry
were in a wor»i fix than they had
been since their freedom.
Those of the “renters” nnd “crop
pers" in tho country who have met
their obligations this year are the ex
ception rather than the rule.
And to-day, Mr. T. II. Caskle, of the
Ninth district of Baker county, who
is, wo believe, the Magistrate of his
district, said tlmt lie had never seen so
much dodging and downright stealing
going on among tennnts and croppers
as there has been this Fall.
All sorts of dodges are taken to beat
the landlord and the factors out of
wlmt is due them by the small Negro
farmers. It is no uncommon thing,
Mr. Cnskio says, for a renter to run
off his ootton at night or to hide it out
in order to evade liis creditors.
The situation in the country, so far
as the Negro farmer is concerned,' is
anything but encouraging. But few
of them have ooine-out square with
the world in tlie year’s operation, and
they are going to be troubled abdut
making their “arrangnments” for
another year. Meantime they have no
supplies on hand, and their condition
is generally a deplorable one.
The trouble with t-liis predominant
olass of citizens in the Negro but pf
Southwest Georgia Is, tiiat-the ratio of
our consumers to that of the producers
is out of all proportion, the consum.
ers being so largely in the •rrfa-
Jority that the odds cannot be over,
come by legitimate farming methods.

furniture may create an impression
of departed prosperity, or it may
indicate a refined taste for antiqui
ties, It all depends upon how old
the style is, aud what the fashion ,,
may be, for there is a style just be
twixt and between, which is not old
enough to be antique and not new
enough to be modern. It is just as
necessary to follow the fashion in
furniture as in dress, and we all
know what a sight a man is with a
