affected
Naturally the county officers of the
state, who have Iwcn inform* <1 of the j
•fate of affairare up In arms against ■
any such move.
It Is said that a number of the sollc- ]
hors general of the state are already in 1
Atlanta bringing pressur*- upon the Gov.
ernor to prevent such a re omnv nd i'Um. .
They are not depending upon their Influ
ence with thr Governor, however, but cir
culars are nlre.idy In-log sent out to the
county officer* throughout the state,
warning them of the effect of the propos
ed measure and ‘ailing upon fh* m to us**
their Influence- with their representative* j
In the General Assembly u> prevent the 1
|assage of such a measure.
Bolicitor General W. W Osborne, who i
has lM* n in All nta for severs! days. Is j
expected horn* this morning Mr. Oboroe 1
was called to Atlanta In the discharge of
his duties as solicitor, there heimr •several
appeals in criminal cases from this county ,
before the court. It is very likely, how
ever. that he Is fully informed
as to the situation. and that
If the Income* of himself and his
brother solicitors throughout the state ne
threatened In the manner rei*orte! he Is
likely to l*e aware of the f , t n I to b
prepared to make hl* opposition felt
If the Governor'* re •ommend.iflon a to
the control of mhbnii'inor convicts by
tile state he n reported It I* ver\ ]|k ly
that the County Commissioners will ente
their protest The county Is at very
heavy expense to maintain the courts and
It would certainly seem that It 1* entitled
to all the recompense ti can gain in th *
use. of the convicts .is well as th- Indirect
benefit resulting fmin the support affo and 1
its officer** by fine*.
A county officer In speaking of the mit
ter yesterday, said th;it the Govern r*s
re omnw *l itlon would certainly meet
with most decided op|**dtlon here
"The Inroad proposed upon the lr.com *
of the officers of the courts would lea
most serious one," lie said "and *n* w dch
we could very HI afford Tin on.il

very different front those In the cities,

court officers derive their incomes largely
from thi source. Ae to the misdemeanor

ties in the stole which %vork* Its os n
convicts. Nearly all the smaller coun
ties turn their convicts over to the st ile
nr lease them out. so they would not be
serlousiy affected. In the case of a coun
ty like Chatham where the use of the
convicts is very necessary I should think
an exception would be made."
It may he that the recommendation of
the Governor as to mtedetncanor convicts
only relates to their control by the I*ri#ort
Commission for the purpose of regulating
conditions and preventing abuses. ar,i
that it Is not proposed to deprive the
counties of the us** of. or the revenue de

The meeting yeaterday afternoon at Bt
John’s Parish Hall of the Savannah
Branch Needle Work Guild was not as |
satisfactory as could have been desired
The Attendance was not as great as wo#
expected, and those who res|onded to the'
call for the meeting were disappointed.
They hope that the next meeting will re- j
suit In greater Interest.
Committers wvt appointed to tag and
■ laxslfy the articles thu are turned In for
illsirlbudoti among the needy. It Is prob
able that the work of these committees
wilt tw completed by Thanksgiving Day
when t is expected that the dixtrlbiMlon
f garm* nts and other articles of needle
work will take pure.
The primary putriose of the meeting was
to arouse enthusiasm that might tend to
the organisation of several sections In the
city. This may yet be done, as some of
the pastors hove agreed to do all they
can among their congregations to the end
of effecting organisations The ladies who
have been directing the work of (he Guild

This Morning,
Mr. A R Fawcett died suddenly yester
day afternoon at his rice plantation, Val
l&mbrosa. on the Ogerchee river, sixleen
miles from Bavannah. There were visi
ble symptoms, marked by his friends hut
unheeded by himself, of his recent extreme
HI health. At Vallamhrosg Mr. Faw
cett had large Interests and there he spent
much of his time. On the plantation he
contracted malniia, and H Is inferred,
though definite Information oii the subject
is lacking, that this dlseaaa was the prox
imate cause of his death.
Thursday morning Mr. Fawcett left the
city for his plantation, expecting to return
the next afternoon. Although he was not
in good health, three was no indication,
either In his appearance or In what he
had to say of hi# sensation*, of anything
that could have caused anxiety to his
family. At any rate there was no rea
son to believe that hla demise waa near
or even approaching
Yesterday afternoon Mr. D. J. Morrison,
a friend of Mr. Fawcett, accompanied by
the latter’s 16-year-old son. John, started
for the plantation. Mr. Morrison was on
a visit of lnfet tlon and the lad acted as
his gukle. on their way they met an ex
cited negro messenger, w’ho told them
he was on the way to the city to procure
a physician, as Mr Fawcett had been at
tacked with convulsion# during the eafly
afternoon and was seriously 111.
The rMirty returned to the city and se
cure*! I>r Fitch, who slatted hock with
them to the bedskie of Mr. Fawcett. Dr.
Fitch did not arrive ot Vallam
• r<*** in time to he of any assistance, us
before he had been half an hour on the
r\4*d. a set'Mal messenger arrived, bring
ing the later news of Mr. Fawcetts
death. This Information reached the
family about 6:30 o'clock. It was brought
by Mr. Butler. Mr. Fawcett's overseer
on the plantation. He stated that Mr
Fawcett had been attacked with convul
sions. and after having passed gpparen*-
ly In great suffering, through several

which th** l*ody of Mr. Fawcett will b<
brought hack lo his home It will reach

it was the understanding when the iart>
left that Its return to the city should be
as nearly immediate as the sad clrcum
