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 SI,OOO to be offered in cash prizes for mil itary day, which will be one of the big occasions of the fair. Col. Park Wood ward telegraphed to the commanding offi cers of tle five Georgia regiments ask ing they come to Atlanta at once to hold a conference in regard to per fecting the full details of the occasion. The present plan is to give a big prize drill on Oct. 11 and 12, to be followed by a grand sham battle. The various drills will be Judged by United States army officers, and the prizes awarded in an impartial manner. A Youthful Sportsman. Maoon Telegraph: Seven - year - old Thomas Jones, son of Mr. J. C. Jones of Cast Maoon is a rhampion wing shot for Ills age. Yesterday afternoon he asked his father’* permission to go out and shoot some bats on the wing. He had been In the habit of going hunting ond shoot ing at birds sitting in trees and on the ground, but had never tried his hand on wing shots. His father laughed at the idea of his being able to kill a bird on the wing, and told him that he would give him a dollar for every bird that he killed. The youngster surprised him. and out of the first three shots he killed two birds, and would have killed many more per haps had not his shells given out. He is hardly large enough to lift a good-stzed double-barrel gun. Hnnling Club in Beaufort. Mr. James U. Jackson, who is prom inent in railway and eommercis. cireies of Augusta, has been the prime mover In the formation of a great hunting club and game preserve, whose domain em braces several thousand acre* of land down in Beaufort county, South Carolina. The club has been duly chartered under the laws of South Carolina, and has a regular set of officers, by-laws, etc. The officers are as follows: President, James U. Jackson; secretory, George T.

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. Florida" The Interest in trotting races at Jack sonville, which has slumbered through the summer, la shortly to be revived, and the Jacksonville Driving dub and State Fair Association will use to give some fine winter ra< ee at the Stats Pair grounds, in Springfield, 2.0*>0.000 to Rio. The Florida Yellow Pine Manufacturing Company of Fernandlna has Juet closed a contract for the shipment of something like two million feet of lumber to Rio, South America; one million feet to go forward at once, and the other in No vember. This is the beginning of a freight business from that port which may grow to large proportions in the near future. A “Bunaway” \Vr<lilinu. There was a “runaway’’ wedding in Vo lusia county Wednesday night. Mr. James Newman and Miss Clara, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. James Tedder, who live near Spruce creek, about twenty-five milet* from DeLand, left home to call on a near neighbor. Mr. Newman had a license with him. so they drove to the home of Mr. Jet ter, near DeLand. A message was sent into town and n clergy man procured, who went out and married the couple. Spoke for Jnck*onvllle. The meeting held at DeLand Weflnee- i day by the Jacksonville Capital Removal ; Association, was a great success. The | Court House was filled with the best cit- ! izens and a good number of visitors from nearby towns. A large number of I Indies graced the meeting with their pres- ! p nre. The speakers, Hon. A. G. Hart ridge and Hon. Frank Clark, were at their best, and presented arguments in favor of Jacksonville. They were frequently I applauded, and held the interest nnd at- j tent ion of their audience to the end. 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.

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.

Averill. 190 ft. Page 4—“As to the of water on the bars of Port Royal and Charles ton to the channels from the sea buoys to the entrance of the harbors, to the depth of water and anchorage grounds in the respective harbors, 1 am sure Charleston's inter est can safely be left in the hands of the officers of the Navy Department.” | j _ / 190 ft. Page 8 “Repre sentatives of the luisville and Nash ville R. R. visited Port Royal and spent considerable time along the en tire water front of Battery Creek at Beaufort river. They made careful exam inations as to the depth of water and width of channel, and decided that Pqrt Royal, in con sequence of the lack of deep water, ex cepting in the nar row channel and on the bar, was not available as a ter minal point for any large railroad sys tem that wanted to engage largely in export business.” i l 1900. “Lack of deep w’a ter, etc., as above.” Averill. 1895. Page 11 "Port Royal, R. C. The Greatest of South Atlantic Ports.” Page 12 “Ports such as Charleston and Savannah, around which large cities sprang up in consequence of the maritime commerce of two decades ago, are not fulfilling present require ments by reason of the limited depth of w'ater on their bars, and in their chan nels, notwithstand ing an annual out lay of millions of the people's money in vain attempls to dredge away the moving quicksand.” 1895. Page 11 “Port Royal, S. C.—known in newspaper phase of recent years as the new great gate way to Europe. This wonderful harbor In point of sheltered location, depth of water and conve nience of navigation, stands pre-eminent among ports, not only of the South, but of the w’hole Atlantic and Gulf Coast. Its success is already an ac complished fact even beyond reasonable expectation—iis des tiny might rival the dream of a Caesar!” i i 1895. Page 12 “Port Royal is a popular port of call of the vessiels of the United States Navy, Ihe whole of which could And anchor age with ease in its sheltered road stead.” Averill. 1900. Page 9—“ Admiral Jouett, in his letter to Mr. Waterhouse, refers to there being no fever aboard ships under hi s command at Port Royal. Malarial fe ver always prevails at Port Royal.” Averill. 1895. Page 13—“One of the advantages claimed for Port Royal is its un doubted healthful ness. The water supply is excellent — the drainage is nat ural. Admiral Por ter, in his report to the government said ‘Port Royal is un surpassed by any point on the South ern coast. * * ” The temperature of Port Royal during 1595 was • * * being more agreeable than any other eityonthe At lantic seaboard. No summer day ever passes without a visitation of tha sweet south breeze, and a rise and fall of a six-foot tide leaves three sides of the picturesque town clean and pure twice in every twen ty-four hours.” 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 of the P.

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 away with a bowl of oatmeal and offering 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 sion and hava taught in some of the best conservatories in the country. Misfortune overtook me end I confess that right now I am holding the short end But I'll pull out yet and will remember you." Tears trickled down the fellow's face tut he left his benefactor and wended his way toward the railroad yards. REVIEW OF THE MARKETS. CONDITION OF GENERAL TRADE Dl RING THE FAST WEEK. The Turpentine Market drop* Cent* During; the Week Better Feeling Prevail* nnd Downward Tendency Muy Be Cheeked—Rosin* Firm nnd in Moderate Deiuaud. Cotton Steady nt the Week’* Ad vance*—Offering* Light—Local and 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.

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. FLUCTUATIONS IN' FUTURES. New York. Aug. 21.—Cotton futures opened easy and closed quiet.

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. WEEKLY COTTON REFNIRTS. Comparative & atement of net receipts at all the ports during the week endin * Friday evening.
