CHISHED HISS HEAD IN.
AAillimn Smith, it Bricklayer. Found
Head in Bed at Tyliee.
William Smith, a white man 45 years
of age, was found dead in his bed, at the
Naylor House, on Tybee Island, yester
day morning, with two ugly wounds In his
head. Coroner Goette was notified of the
death, and took charge of the remains.
From all accounts It would appear that
Smith was knocked down by another
white man named Callow at Fort Screven
Sunday night. The matter will be thor
-hly Investigated to-day by the county
1 hirers, and the arrest of Gallow will
Ui .'l likely follow.
Smith was employed at the new govern
ment quarters on the isl and as a brick
ni on, while Gallow worked at the same
pl i. eas a carpenter. The men were eat
bg supper Sunday night, when Gallow
a,l 'l Smith became engaged In a dispute
" r some trivial matter. Smith had been
drinking, and Gallow struck him over the
h !, it is said, with a water pitcher,
making two ugly wounds. Smith left the
room and nothing more was thought
"f the affair until he was found, dead.
'The men employed on the works sleep
•’Tether in one room, and when Smith
<ll not get up y< slerday morning some
of them tried to push , him out of bed.
The sheets were covered with blood and
further investigation showed' that the
bricklayer was dead. It was then that
*’■" wounds In hlf head were discovered
; ' I Coroner Goette was called In. The
dy was brought to the city In the morn
' c and a hurried examination was made
f the wounds. It was found that one of
the blows had caused a fracture of the
£kull and it may be that Dr. Keller will
. bold a |xwt-mort< m examination to-day,
The carpenter, Gallow, has not been
Placed under arrest yet, but may be taken
m charge to-day. ,

months ago from New York II Is

WEDDINGS AND PROSPERITY.
A Snbtle Connection Retween the
Two Shown by Statistics.
During the year 1900, that expired in
noise and glory at midnight last night,
there were united in the holy bonds of
matrimony, within the confines of Chat
ham county, just 1,592 holders of tickets
in that lottery. And It wasn’t a very
good year for weddings, either.
From 9 o'clock on the morning of Jan.
1 to 6 o’clock on the afternoon of Dec.
31, 1900, Clerk Keilhach, of the Court of
Ofdinary, Issued 796 marriage licensee.
This was a smaller number than was Is
sued for any year since 1897, when 790
couples were given legal permission to
try their luck.
It has been said that the number of
marriages Is In quite constant proportion
to the prosperity of the community, be
ing large in years when business is good
and the people flourishing and becoming
relatively small when an era of hard times
begins to have fts effects.
The marriage expert can figure out some
such conclusion from the statistics that
are preserved in the office of the clerk
of the Court of Ordinary. In 1892, when
the country was in a condition reasonably
prosperous, there were Issued 722 mar
riage licenses. In 1893, when the hard
times began to make themselves felt, the
number of licenses fell to 669. It was 666
in 1894, 638 in 1895 and 689 in 1896. In 1897,
when returning prosperity made a man
willing to give some few hostages to for
tune, the number of licenses issued jumped
to 790, and in 1897, when the tide of good
times had reached its flood, the number
reached 826. That number is the highest
ever reached in Chatham county.
In 1899 there were 825 mar
riage licenses issued, and in 1900, 796. The
large number of marriages in 1898 has been
explained by saying that many couples
had postponed their nuptials until the re
turn of good times, and these back num
bers were added to the events that would
have been pulled off at any rate.
For two years now the month of April
has led in the number of marriajje li
censes issued. In 1900, Clerk Kell bach is
sued ninety-five licenses, an average of
more than three a day, during the month
April. In 1899, he Isused eighty-seven
licenses during the same month. In both
years December ran Afpril a close second,
there being seventy-seven licenses In that
month of 1900 and ieighty-two in 1899.
Theories seem rather unable to cope
with this situation of affairs and to ac
count for the preference exhibited by the
bridal couples for these months of the
year. In April it may be that the In
fluence of the spring makes itself felt and
in December the approach of the Christ
man season, with its practice of giving,
possibly induces the young woman to give
herself. But this .is surmise. To one who
has had no experience with such things,
May would seem to be as nice a month
to get married in as April or any other,
and yet during May of last year but fifty
two licenses to wed were issued. This
was the smallest number for any month
during the entire year.
It Is rather curious to note that during
the past year the number of licenses is
sued to white couples was increased by
seven over that of the preceding year,
while the number issued to negroes was
decreased by thirty-six. Still though the
number of negro marriages was far in
excess of the marriage of whites, there
being 505 of the former to 291 of the lat
ter. This apparent advantage Is over
come by the divorces, wherein the ne
groes are parties about three times as
often as their white neighbors.
The following is a tabulated statement
of the number of licenses Issued for each
month of the year 1900, to white and col
ored couples, wLth the totals for each
month and for each race and for the
year:
White. Colored. Total.
January 32 40 72
February 25 4? 68
March 17 43 60
April 37 58 95
May 11 41 52
June 24 45 69
July £7 43 70
August 22 38 60
September 18 35 53
October 18 37 55
November 27 38 65
December 33 44 77
291 505 796
It is rather remarkable that the num
ber of licenses Issued to white couples
during the year 1898 was the same as that
for the year 1900. On the marriage and
prosperity theory,, this is taken to mean
that 1900 was just as prosperous a year
for Bavannah as was 1898. The only trou
ble about this view Is that the actual
facts show It to have been a good deal
more so.

Mr. William Sells of the Sells-Gray cir
cus aggregation, said last night that no
decision had yet been reached as to where
his show would put up for the winter.
The circus man was evidently ruffled
about' something and was quite curt. He
did not seem desirous of giving out too
much Information on the subject, If he
really had any to give.
At first Mr. Sells said that he wanted
to take a rest, 'but a moment later re
considered a'nd announced that there were
no new developments. The circus pro
prietor stated that Mr. Stafford, who
gave out the Interview to the Morning
News upon the arrival of the aggrega
tion had left the city for home. It Is
understood that the circus people have
been endeavoring to get the site where
the government hospital buildings are
located.

NEGRO KILLED AT VALDOSTA.
SHOT THROUGH THE HEART AS HE
ENTERED HIS HOME.
Coroner’* Jury Charge* Alfred Mi
chael With the Murler—Social At
tn i r Narrowly Missed Serin* End.
Young Lady’s Dress Caught Fire,
But Presence of Mind of Young
.lien Saved Her—Valdosta's Busy
Season—s49,ooo In Dividends to Be
Turned Loose.
Valdosta, Dec. 31.—A negro named Leah
Davis was shot and killed about 10 o'clock
Saturday night while entertlng his home
in the southern part of the city. The
shooting is said to have been done by an
other negro named Alfred Michael, and
the coroner's jury to-day returned an
inquest charging him with the murder.
It seems that Michael was at Davis'
house when he arrived there after his
day’s work at the Atlantic, Valdosta and
Western depot. As Davis entered the
door, ho was shot through the heart, dy
ing instantly. Michael skipped out and
has not been seen since. There was con
siderable feeling among the colored peo
ple over the killing, as the dead negro
is said to have been a quiet, peaceable
man.
One of the most brilliant of the social
functions of thff Christmas season came
near having a very serious ending Sat
urday night. The affair was tendered by
Miss Neta Fender to her friends, and the
evening was a delightful one. Just be
fore the guests departed for their homes,
the dress worn by Miss Cator of For
syth, caught on fire and spread into a
blaze. Miss Cator was talking to several
young men at the time and was stand
ing with her back to the fire. She wore
an organdy dress and be/cre any one
noticed It, the young lady was covered
with flames. The young men, with re
markable presence of mind, pulled oft
their coats and threw them around ner,
smothering the flames without the
least injury to the young lady, though
the young men suffered some burns on
their handts.
The business of the merchants here has
been the heaviest ever known for a
Christmas season. Thousands of shoppers
have come here from all sections and the
trade has been very heavy. On next
Tuesday a dozen or more local corpora
tions will turn loose their annual and
semi-annual dividends, and these will
amount to probably $40,000. There are
twenty-three , Incorporated 1 enterprises
he.re.and every one of them pays dividends
every year. The present year Is said to
have been a very successful one with
all of the merchants, as well as other en
terprises.
A letter received here Friday from El
Paso, Tex., brought news of the death of
Mr. John G. Williams, formerly of this
city. Mr. Williams’ death "was due to an
operation which was performed on Nov.
28, death ensuing on Dec. 12. He was en
gaged as bookkeeper for the Candelaria
Mining Company, but formerly occupied a
similar position with silver mines at San
Luis Potosi, Mexico. He was a son of
Mr. F. S. Williams of Bryan county, and
brother of Fillmore Williams of Savan
nah, and Mesdames C. C. Brantley and
B. G. Lastinger of this city.
IIHOKE UMBRELLA OVER HUSBAND.
Muscular Woman Got in Some Good
Ones on Her Sworn Protector.
A rather fine looking and muscular wo
man created a sensation in the vicinity of
the Cily Market early yesterday afternoon
by breaking her umbrella over a man of
rather small stature. The woman’s anger
appeared to be up In earnest and after
demolishing her sun shade she started in
to use nature’s weapons. The man made
very little resistance and seemed to re
alize that It would be wise to take his
medicine.
A drowd gathered, and the attention of
Patrolman Godbold was attracted. Even
after she had been placed under arrest
the woman wanted to continue the as
sault. Her victim proved to be her hus
band. Godbold is a powerful man, but it
required all of his strength to prevent the
angered female from repeating the knock
out blows. After she had been placed in
the patrol wagon she made for her hus
band again and City Detective Murphy
had to go to the station house with Sally
port Officer Lange to prevent any further
trouble.
The woman had evidently been drink
ing and was in no mood to be trifled with.
She stated that her name is Mrs. J. F.
Seheeler and that she was the wife of the
man she had assaulted. In the meantime
the complainant was in the desk sergeant's
office with several bruises on his face.
He told a Morning News representative
his story and seemed to be thoroughly in
awe of the woman who, he declared, could
whip any two men. Seheeler says that
he is a conductor and that he came to
■Savannah with his wife from. Richmond,
Va., shortly before dhristmas to accept
a position with the Seaboard Air Line.
He and his wife boarded at 323 Perry
street, west, and the first serious trouble
since their arrival In this city occurred
yesterday.
"I saw two letters to other men that
my wife wrote this morning and I asked
her about them. She sailed into me in
earnest and then began drinking. She is
a heavy drinker and it is not the first time
that she has thrashed me. I would
not strike a woman, anyway, but to have
hit her would have only made it all the
worse for me. I have charged her with
being drunk and disorderly and beating
me on the street, and I hope that the
courts will put her where she can't beat
me any more.”
The case against the woman will be
heard by Judge Hartridge at this morn
ing's session of Police Court and promises
to be rich, rare and racy.

Destitute Family Discovered In a
Hut on Buck Hammock.
The residents of Tybee are much inter
ested iiydhe condition of a family, con
sisting/of a mother and five or six chil
dren, giving on Buck Hammock in a very
destitute condition.
While the whereabouts, though not the
condition of the family has been 'known
to some of the islanders Cor some time,
it was not brought prominently before
the notice of the public until Christmas
Day. On thfit festival the Misses Schenk
at Ft. Screven, decided to give a Christ
mas tree for the benefit of the children
on the island, and sent out Sergt. O’Don
nell to make the Invitations. During his
rounds the sergeant was told of the fam
ily on Buck Hammock, and went there
to ask them to the celebration. He found
them living in a little tumbled-down
shanty, rudely thatched with palmetto
leaves, and with hardly a one of ,the ne
cessities of life. The children, themselves,
he found to be in a semi-wild state, run
ning away at the sight of him, and hid
ing themselves in the woods from behind
the trees of which they cautiously peered
at him, only to fly still further away
whenever he attempted to approach them.
They were practically without clothes;
only a few rags, the remains of clothing,
preventing them from being entirely nude.
Inquiry developed the fact that these
children and their mother have been
subsisting for the last several months on
just such food, as oysters and fish,
as they could secure on the Hammock,
and In all that time they have had so
little Intercourse with civilization as o
have reached their present state of al
most savagery.
The fahter of the children was for a
time employed as a bricklayer at the
fort, and had his family living In a cot
tage near the scene Of his labors. His
®'ork at the fort finished he went away,
and seemingly left his family to shift for
itself. They being unable to help them
selves on the Island, went across to the
hammock several months ago and have
been living there ever since. The father
Is thought to be now in Macon.
As soon as tho matter had been re
ported at the fort by Sergt. O’Donnell,
the ladies there interested themselves In
the unfortunates and sent to them a lib
eral supply of clothing and other neces
sities.
Mayor J. G. Butler, who has been in
formed of the condition of the unfortu
nates, has also interested himself in their
behalf, and will make them a visit within
a day or two to get at first hand their
needs, when he will lay the matter be
fore the County Comsissioners, and ask
that some relief be given. He intended
to go to the Island Sunday, but was pre
vented by the bad weather.
Buck Hammock is situated to the south
of Tybee Island, from which It Is separat
ed by Tybee creek. It'is an exception
ally lonesome place, and is rarely visited,
except by fishermen, who make only short
stays there.

GOOD WORDS FOR THE FAIR.
THE OPINION EXPRESSED THAT IT
WILL HR V SUCCESS.

of the Prime Movers noil Chief
YVorUer* la That litdrrtnkEng—V
Predietion That the Fair of 1901
Will he the Host Complete Exposi
tion of Resources and Products of
South Atlantic States Ever Held la
Dixie.
The writer of the following letter was
secretary of the Fair of the Industrial
Association of Georgia that was held in
Savannah in 1870. it was undoubtedly
the greatest fair ever held In the state,
with the exception of the national fair
that was held in Atlanta. It was not a
financial success, but it did more to bring
Savannah into notice than any other thing
that has been undertaken by her citizens
since. The letter is a very encouraging
one, as it indicate® that people outside
of this city are taking an interest in the
fair.
Buford, Ga., Dec. 29.—C01. J. H. Eetlll:
My Dear Sir—With much pleasure I have
noticed the reported action of the Execu
tive Committee of the State Agricultural
Society in locating the next annual ex
position of the agricultural and mechani
cal products ami the general resources of
Georgia at the city of Savannah, the
great entry port of our Empire State
and of the South Atlantic section of our
country.
After reading this announcement my
memory brought up many fond recollec
tions of Savannah, where, in years gone
by, I lived and labored most agreeably
with yourself and others, in efforts to
stimulate into active play the energies
of our people and in calling their atten
tion to the unlimited possibilities of our
resourceful section.
No effort made by our spirited people
has, in my Judgment, been blessed with
fuller fruition than the exposition held
at Savannah In the year 1870. In every
respect it was a splendid exhibition of
the indomitable courage, enterprise and
spirit of the good people of Savannah
and of our fellow citizens throughout
Southern and Middle .Georgia.
You. will recall the labor, the anxiety
and earnest efforts of 'thou® who, with
yourself, constituted the executive board
that carried out to completion the con
ception of that first exposition held In
our Southland after the desolation of an
unparalleled Civil War had left us noth
ing much but our climate, our generous
soil, our honor and our courage. I recall
the form and tho features of our first
president, Mr. Emanuel Heldt, and of
his successor, that noble type of man
hood. Mr. George S. Owens. There comes
before me, one T our most active work
ers. Mr. A. McC. Duncan, who in sea
son and out of season, was my right arm
of advice and l execution; of your own
self, ever ready with the columns of your
far-reaching journal, and your good Judg
ment, to press the enterprise to success
ful completion. I recall ithe handsome
of Capt. John W. Anderson and
John Chisholm, the gay chevaliers, as
they managed the grandest ball ever
given on the seashores of Georgia, and of
the late Maj. Harry Bryan, who grieved
over the deficit in the treasurer's cash
box. Some of these worthies have since
thpn gone away from the living to tne
golden shore of eternity, but others re
main, and the spirit of the fathers re
mains in Savannah, the legacy of their
noble children.
I know your great and good people will
not and cannot fall. Without assuming
to be a prophet, I now predict that the
Georgia State Fair, held' in Savannah in
the fail of 1901, will be the most com
plete and perfect exposition of- our re
sources. and of the products and resources
of the South Atlantic states thut has yet
been held In all of Dixie.
In any way, that I may bo enabled to
contribute to this desirable end, be as
sured I am at your eervice. and a-t the
command of our good' people In Savan
nah. With sincere good wishes, I am as
ever, your friend. Henry D. Capers.
