The firemen of Savannah have
been under the fire of the fire com¬
mission, and some of them got
fired.
Whenever anybody says dis¬
pensary, Tillman and South Car¬

We believe in maintaining law
at all hazards, hut the shoot ing of
the unarmed strikers at Hazleton,
Pa., was apparently uncalled for.
From what we can learn of the
Alaskan country, “Klondicitis”
will doubtless prove to he a dis¬
ease similar to small pox—you’ll
never have it but once.
The northern and western pa¬
pers will not excuse the south’s
lynching for the worst of crimes,
yet five men were lynched at one
time in Indiana last week “on
general principles.”
Stillmore College (?) opened
last Monday with W. W. Dreskill,
president. A big barbecue was
eaten there Friday, at the dedica¬
tion . It is doubtless a fine school,
but to call it a college, oh my!
The people of Hogansville don’t
like cuffy inVpostoffice. McKin¬
ley put one in there the other day
but somehow he got into a scrape
and came out nearly dead, and it
is doubtful about having a negro
postmaster in that town.

Governor Atkinson’s convict move

that as it may, it is better late

Every year every college in the
land opens with “brighter pros¬
pect* than ever before,” but from
what we can learn this is reall>
true of the Georgia University.
Unless all signs fail, the day is
uot far distant, when Georgia will
have a upiversity that can easily
compete with the famous northern
colleges.

The Cuyler & Woodburn.
We heard recently that the real
purchasers of the Cuyler & Wood
burn were northern men, that they
had paid the amount for which the
road waa sold, and that it would
actually be built to Statesboro.
A letter from Hon. Pope Barrow,
of Savannah, however, states that
the judge has not as yet confirmed
the sale, and until that is done the
buyers will not be required to pro¬
duce the money. The judge will
doubtless do this, but it has not
yet been done, and the road is still
in the condition in which it was
left at the sale.
My store fixtures may uot be as
elaborate as some, but I have the
prettiest and best stock of goods
ever shown in Statesboro, aud at
prices that cannot be beaten any¬
where. My shelving and counters
are packed with all the latest nov¬
elties in staple and fancy dry
goods. My line of ladieB’ fall and
winter dress goods is replete with
all the latest fashions aud fabrics
at prices to suit the times. Come
an d see me. R. Simmous.

The Dispensary Plan.
The notices in the Times con¬
cerning local legislation created
considerable interest in Statesboro.
The proposed bill authorizing the
establishment of a dispensary for
the town met with considerable
opposition. Throe or more peti¬
tions to suppress the matter were
immediately drawn up and signed
by a good many of the municipal
voters. At this time 'we under¬
stand that a majority of the voters
have signed the pc til ions, and that
the bill will not be introduced.
While it is true that the mere
passage cf the bill would not give
us a dispensary—for it would have
to be voted upon by the people of
the town—the opponents of the
measure claim that if this were
done, the whiskey question would
be brought to the front in every
election for city officers.
Whether a dispensary would be
the thing for Statesboro or not,
the Timeb is not prepared to say.
It has worked well in some towns
and bad in others. We believe
the whiskey business can be con¬
trolled here without it, if the peo¬
ple so desire. The high license
law for the town, as proposed in
one of the notices for local legis¬
lation is whel we need. The peo¬
ple can enforce that if they are
particularly anxious to do so, and
we feel that a dispensary is not
needed until the high license law
has proved a failure.

J. W. Olliff & Co.’s Opening.
The opening at Olliff’s Monday
was quite a success. They tell us,
however, that if they had had a
few more days the display would
have been much better, but we can
hardly see how it could have been
improved. To us there was noth¬
ing lacking, not even the band.
The town folks were there, the
couutr folksy were there, the baud,
free lemonade, pretty girls, present. and
laughing children were all
The band played up stairs all tne
afternoon, and the crowd seemed
loath to leave even when night
come on,
We cannot undertake to describe
the nice goods, the beautiful show
cases and show cases; you will
have to come aud see for your self.
All we can say is that while stand¬
ing at the top of the stairway or
at the opening between the floors,
you are liable to forget where you
are, it seems more like Savannah
or New York.
