Wouldn’t Take Her Place.
The first case made in the Recorder’s
Court at Columbus, against any one for
a violation of the ordinance in regard to
the separation of the races on the street
card was tried Wednesday. A negro
woman refused to take the seat assigned
to her by a conductor and was summoned
tvefore the Recorder on the charge of vio
lating the ordinance in question. At the
conclusion of ihe trial, the evidence be
ing conclusive, the woman whs fined $2
for refusing to take the seat where she
properly belonged. This was the first
case of the kind brought before the
Recorder, and he was accordingly very
light in sentencing the defendant. The
law will be rigidly enforced, both by the
■nertormen, conductors and the police.
Prize* for Drill*.
At a meeting of the board of directors
of the Southeastern Interstate Fair, held
in Atlanta, it was decided to appropriate

The present plan is to give a big prize

drills will be Judged by United States
army officers, and the prizes awarded in
an impartial manner.

His father laughed at the idea of his

A Story of Alf. Newell.
Alfred C. Newell, who was a membet
of the class of '9l at, the University, is
very well known in Georgia. This story
about him will interest those who know
him:
He had been in New Tory only a short
time when he was sent to the mayor's
office one day for an item of news.
Just as he stepped inside the office a
clerk spoke up loudly and insolently.
“Remove your hat, sir!” he shouted.
“What do you mean by coming in here
with your hat on?”
Everybody in the room looked with evi
dent c'urioslty at Newell.
The stalwart young Georgian was pale
with anger, and looking down at the lit
tle clerk, he said;
"You niisarable cur, I’ll remove my hat
when I please. If you say another word
I’ll throw you out of the window!”
The other men In the office smiled, and
the little clerk pretended to be very busy
With some papers.
The mayor was delighted, and when
Newell <ume forward, taking off his hat
after advancing two or three steps, he
greeted him cordially, and gave him the
Information he sought.
When he left the mayor asked his
name, and turning to the others he said:
“That young man has pluck, self-re
spect and good manners. I like his style."
After that Newell got along nicely In
New York.

A “Bunaway” \Vr<lilinu.
There was a “runaway’’ wedding in Vo

Florida’* Orange Crop.
A special to the Florida Timea-Union
nnd Citizen from Tampa .says: Mr. W.
R. Fuller. Jr., the general representa
tive of the Seaboard Air Line, is one of
the hesdnformed men in the orange bus
iness in the sttae. In fact, he is gener
ally regarded as an expert, and he is a
close observer and calculator. Some time
aso Mr. Fuller made a statement to the
effect that he thought the orange crop
of this county would reach 200,000 boxes,
and he placed De Soto county ahead of
anything else. Yesterday Mr. Fuller
stated that he bad the best of reasons
to raise his estimate of the Hillsboro
county crop, and that he was sure it
would exceed 250.000 boxes. He declared
that this estimate was made on a more
careful examination of the situation, and
that the fruit was of a size that could he
better Judged from than the previous
statement. He has been all over the
county and looked at the crops, and made
his estimates upon investigation and then
compared (hem with information he has
received from other residents who have
ha:l experience, nnd the result is that he
believes the crop is going to exceed the
figures named. He also says that he
never saw better fruit anywhere than is
found on the trees of this county at the
present time, and he is sure that Hills
boro county will lead a.ll counties in the
state in the crop this season, and next
year he believes it will almost double
other counties, as so many more trees will
come into bearing by that time.

PORT ROYAL, STATION.
What Mr. Averlll Said In USfW and
What He Says Vow.
Beaufort, S. C., Aug. 22, 1900.—Editor
Savannah Morning News: When the Port
Royal-Charleston Naval Board reached
the former place on its tour of inspection,
it gave a hearing to a committee of citi
zens who had carefully prepared a state
ment of facts relating to the Port Royal
Naval Station.
This Statement was issued as an illus
trated namphlet and widely distributed.
The sixty-five pages of subject matter was
divided up into an introduction which
gives a sketch of the present movement
for a removal; and argument which points
out the fallacies in the position taken by
the would-be removers; and lastly the
transcripts from official reports of naval
officers, naval boards, and congressional
committees upon which the argument is
based and to which it Invariably refers.
The sixteen illustrations show vividly, as
only the camera can, the extent of this
valuable plant.
Charleston, aroused by the force of this
pamphlet, proceeded to get one out her
self In rebuttal, which she placed in the
hands of Mayor Smythe to present in i>er
son to the board at Washington. This
ten-page statement consisis of an open
letter addressed to Charleston's Commit
tee on Naval Station by one J. H. Averlll,
now director of the Charleston Exposition,
some time receiver of the Port Royal Rail
road. This is the only evidence Charles
ton presents in rebuttal of Port Royal's
argument, as Mr. Averlll does not see lit
to quote authorities. He Is an authority.
It seems—Charleston's trump card.
Port Royal presented to the Rodger’s
Board carefully codllled transcripts from
sworn statements of naval constructors,
reports of heads of bureaus, and a deliber
ate statement by the Admiral now In
command as to the value of the dry dock.
Charleston triumphantly produces Mr.
Averlll’* views and sends her Mayor as
special messenger to convey them to
Washington.
Two boards composed of expert naval
officers chosen to carefully examine Port
Royal's availability as a naval base, are
quoted In the Port Royal pamphlet as am
ply corroborating Admiral Porter's state
ment that "the place is perfectly defensi
ble against an enemy." Over against these
authorities. Charleston blandly presents
Mr. J. H. Averill's ideas on the subject.
Port Royal quotes Admirals Porter,
Jouett, Sumner and the surgeon general of
the navy to establish the healthfulness of
this station. Beside (heir intimate, caro
fully-staied knowledge of the facts,
Charleston confidently lays Mr. Averill's
opinion, which happens to differ.
Absurd as it is to quote this Mr. Averlll,
who cannot lay claim to anything more
than a cursory knowledge of naval mat
ters, as an authority upon the value of
the dry dock, or as to the strategic advan
tages of the site of Port Royal’s Station,
yet it might be supposed that as "Re
ceiver and manager of the Port Royal
Railroad • • * with office and head
quarters at Port Royal" * • • and
wltlt "frequent occasion to visit
the naval station” he might be
considered an authority on Ihe situation
at Port Royal as to Its health and ihe
character of its harbor. But to be relia
ble he must be consistent, and if It is
shown that as a boomer of Charleston he
flatly contradicts what he asserted while
booming Port Royal, then he is simply a
promoter.

and Augusta Railroad. Mr. Averlll Issued

The extracts from the 1595 pamphlet here
given are In line with other slowing eulo
gies of Tort Royal which we ourselves
heard Mr. Averill deliver on various oc
casions—for instance In his barbecue
speech at Old Fort and at the banquet in
his honor, given at the Sea Island Hotel
when he took charge of the Port Royal
and Augusta Railroad.
Comment is unnecessary—the facts
write plainly ihelr damning conviction of
J, H. Averill, promoter, at present a
Charleston boomer and the authority for
Charleston's naval station pamphlet. This
Is the man whose opinion as to naval mat
ters is unblushingly laid In the scales as
more weighty than the Judgment of ad
mirals. • . .
If Mr Averill had presented new facts
or even the old ill anew light it would
have been interesting to examine his as
sertions particularly. But he simply cons
Charleston's familiar stock arguments,
thinking to give them value by attaching
his official titles —“J. H. Aye rid I, receiver

Leaning on His (ioltl-Heutlrd Cane,
He Toll of llnr<l-I p Condition.
From the Indianapolis Press.
A (ramp atlired In silk tile and Prince
Albert coat, aet East Twenty eeventh
street ago* with conjecture yesterday.
Spotless linen, a clean-shaven face and
a glib tongue.added to the make-up of
the beggar. Many thought him to be an
estray from the ranks of the Cook Coun
ty March Club of Chicago, which cut such
a dash here during the Bryan notification
meeting last week.
Early yesterday morning he appeared at
the kitchen door of the home of Fred O.
Ball, Ash and Twenty-seventh streets. He
trembled as he spoke of the hardship that
ill luck had forced upon him. He leaned
on a gold-headed cane as he told Mr. Ball
of hie hunger.
"This is my first visit to any man's hack
door, my friend,” he said in a tone of
pathos. "This is the first time 1 ever
begged in my life, and I'll give you this,
m.v last nickel, for a bile of breakfast."
He held out a nickel to the man whom he
sought to be his good Samaritan, but Mr.
Ball refused it.
Mr. Ball led him Into the kitchen, and
soon the handsome beggar was making

profuse thanks between spoonfuls. He had
the lone of a polished man. and when he
had finished a good meal he arose to go.
Turning tho Mr. Ball, he said: "My young
friend, you will yet hear from this aet of
kindness, I am a music teacher by profes

conservatories in the country. Misfortune
overtook me end I confess that right now
I am holding the short end But I'll pull

REVIEW OF THE MARKETS.

Cotton Steady nt the Week’* Ad

Telegraphic Market*.
Conditions combined during the past
week to bring a very sharp decilne in the
spirits turpentine maiket, which dropped
3V4 cents since last week’s closing The
price closed steady last Friday at
cents, and firm to-day at 36 cent-. Thl
falling off is attributed to several cau.-es.
among them being the liberal receipts, and
the sale and exporting of naval stores
from the Gulf ports, which is having its
effect in a lessening of the demand here.
The market seems to be in a stronger po
sition to-day at 36 cents, though the indi
cations are not such as to point with cer
tainty to a check in the downward ten
dency. •
Throughout the week the drop in tur
pentine has been a steady one. Like the
individual with run-dowm heels, the mar
ket got the w'orst buyers could give it
when it started down hill. They were in
different about supplying other than their
immediate demands, and would not enter
for fear of losing a chance of getting in on
a low’er basis. Their reason for suspense
will be apparent from the movement of
prices. The opening Friday was firm at
39*2 cents, and the closing steady and un
changed. The-opening Saturday was firm
at 3S I ?, and the closing unchanged. The
opening Monday was quiet nt 38V*2. aud the
closing firm at 38. The opening Tuesday
was quiet at 38, and the closing nominal
and unchanged. The opening Wednesday
was steady at 37, and the closing firm at
36V 2 . On Thursday the market was firm
nt 36, and to-day closed firm and unchang
ed, with no business heard of on a lower
basis. Factors feel more confident than
previously, and believe the downward ten
dency checked. However, receipts con
tinue liberal and the demand moderate.
The rosin market was in fairly strong
position during the week, though prices
yielded some in response to a light de
mand. The opening Friday .was quiet, and
the closing Saturday firm at a decline of
5 cents on all grades. On Tuesday M,,N,
window glass and water white went off
5 cents. It seems there is a fair demand
for rosins, and the chances are that pres
ent values will be maintained. (J and be
low were marked up 5c as the outside
price Thursday. The two higher grades
advanced 5c to-day at the outside prices.

COTTON.
/he cotton market closed steady and
.nehanged to-day, with a limited demand
prevailing. Thb futures market closed
at a decline of 8 and 10 points, due to
rains, and a slight ImprovementHn netvs
from the crop country. Bocal advices dur
ing the day told of a heavy downpour at
Amerieus, and there were rains in other
sections of the state. There is not a great
deal of cotton offering right at the mo
ment, but it Is thought the market will
be amply supplied within the next week.
The sales reported at the Cotton Ex
change for the week were 287 bales, and
for the season 82,210 bales.

The Market Finally Qtflet at a Net
I, ohm of 8 to lO Point*.
New York, Aug. 24—The cotton market
opened easy with August contracts un
changed and oth'T months points low
er. For a time an easier freling prevailed.
i The foreign news was unsatisfactory and
crop accounts generally favcrable which
causel further liquidat on by parties who
had bought cotton earlier in the week.
Then the market reacted points on
covering, the interior movement being
exceptionally small. . But the advance
failed to bring in outside buying and the
market turned weak again, notwithstand
ing the week's interior receipts showed
but 5 920 bales against 45,361 last year. A
report that receipts were picking up in
Texas and particularly crop advices lrom
that important state, added to the dis
position to sell and prices broke 5f?6
points from the highest under quite ac
tive selling. The market here, was finally
quiet at a net loss of S@lo points.

COTTON LETTERS.
New Tork, Aug 24.—Hubbard Bros. &
Cos. say: Liverpool is affected by offer
ing? from *he South, which though upon
a higher basis than foreign quotations,
show, the European spinners that cotton
is about to move freely. Locally the mar
ket has declined on the liquidation of the
buyers of the early part of the week,
who feel the heavy showers have relieved
the anxiety about the crop. No disposi
tion Is shown, however, to anticipate a
further decline as the last two advances
came from short covering, and the trade
feel that it i? dangerous to be short ,n
the face of the September bureau report.
Showers again fell In many districts, and
ore again forecasted where they are
needed.
New York. Aug. 24 Murphy & Cos. say:
Cotton declined In Liverpool to-day l-S4d
on spots, middling, 5 11-isd Futures
closed about 3-S4d owing to less anxiety
about the growing i>op. rain having been
had In the drought sections. Thta market
opened about 8 points lower, ruled ner
vous. hut without any further marked
change i n price, despite liquidating sales
for foreign, southern and local account.
Bears are Inclined to go slowly until
mora la known about the probable bet
terment of crop, which hinges on the
weather. The bulls maintain that no mat
ter how favorable the weather may hi
from now on that with the late start
and with the deierioation that the be i
can be expected is a moderate crop a \
with no surplus, and in all probability
the lowest average condition to be ex
pected on Sept. IC. that it is hazardous
to stmrt the market.
