Thing*. to Criticise and Many
Tiling* to Commend.
On the eve of to-morrow's struggle
with the Fort Screven eleven Capt.
Cope will send the Blue and White
eleven through a light signal practice
to-night in preparation for the game
in which he intends to test each man’s
speed turd endurance.
While this game is not expected to
bo one of those bruising affairs, it will
be interesting to those who are watch
ing the progress in the development of
the eleven which will fight for Savan
nah’s honor on the gridiron on New
Year’s Day.
Capt. Cope will send the men
through every play he has drilled
them in to note what Is lacking when
lined up against a charging line, and
it may be that the Blue and ’White
will have to fight valiantly to defeat
the soldiers, who have been improv
ing steadily with each game they
have played.
Erecting New Slnndn.
Work was commenced yesterday on
the new stands which will be erected
along the north side line, and it Is
hoped to have them completed by to
morrow afternoon. These stands will
be within ten feet of the side line, and
will afford an excellent view of the
field.
The Fort Screven eleven will come
up to-morrow morning, seventeen
strong. They will be joined here by
Captain and Quarterback Slbert, who
will be in the game.
Gus Smith will not be able to play,
owing to recent injuries. Cubbedge,
Landsberg and Abel will toe used at
the ends. Smith will be in condition
for the Thanksgiving game against
Jacksonville.
Jays Are Evenly Matched.
Capt. Harry Blun. president of the
Savannah Athletic Association, and
Manager Frank Mclntire. returned
from Jacksonville yesterday morning,
after witnessing the game between
the Fort Screven eleven and the Jays.
Capt. Blun officiated in the game as
umpire.
•‘Of course I believe Savannah will
beat Jacksonville," said Capt. Blun,
"but it will be a hard game. Of
course we saw many things to criti
cise, but we also saw many things to
commend in the Jacksonville men.
Yancy is not playing the game X
thought he would play.
“Jones is playing his usual game for
the first ten minutes. Fort Screven's
chief fau't was in fumbling, and con
fusion in quarterback passes, which, I
presume, was due to the absence of
Capt. Slbert. The soldiers moved down
the field very rapidly when they had
the ball. At the end of the first half
they had the ball on Jacksonville’s
yard and a half line, and ten more sec
onds of play would have scored a
touchdown.”
We Have Little to Fear.
Manager Mclntire started nfaktng
notes on the play of the Jays, but
soon stopped with the remark that Sa
vannah had little to fear. "Of course,
we will not have a walk over,” staid
Mr. Mclntire. “But I haven’t the
least doubt that we can keep them from’
scoring. The back field is not near
so fast as ours, and I know we have
the most aggressive line.”
According to both Mr. Blun and Mr.
Mclntire the utmost confidence is ex
pressed In Jacksonville that Savannah
will be defeated this year. This con
fidence will no doubt be slightly jar
red on Nov. 24.
Over In Charleston there seems to be
a temporary calm In football affairs.
For the time being the Red Man and
his pale face brothers seem to have
retired within the wigw*am to council
among the medicine men—all because
of the return of the great Pathfinder
chief. Cope, and the news of the great
doings In the Pathfinder camp.

Newport News, Va., July sa, 1903.
Last summer while recovering from ill
ness of fever, I had a severe attack of
Inflammatory Rheumatism in the knees,
from which I was unable to leave my
room for several months. I was treated
by two doctors and also tried different
kinds of linaments and medicines which
aeemed to relieve me from pain for
awhile, but at the same time I waa not
any nearer getting well. One day while
reading a paper I saw an advertisement
of 8. S. S. for Rheumatism. I decided
to give it a trial, which I did at once.
After I had taken three bottles I felt a
great deal better, and I still continued
to take it regularly until I was entirely
cured. I now feel better than for years,
and I cheerfully recommend 8. S. 8. to
any one suffering from Rheumatism.

POPE PIUS TALKED
OF FRENCH CONCORDAT.
Said the Church Had llever In
fringed an Agreement.
Rome, Nov. 14.—The second consis
tory of the Pontificate of Pope Plus X,
ait which the poetulation of the Pallium
for three American archbishops occur
red and ten American bishops were
proclaimed, took place this morning.
The ceremony was shadowed by the
death In the apostolic palace of Cardi
nal Mocennl, while the function was In
progress.
In the secret consistory the Pope de
livered an allocution recalling the ori
gin of the concordat, and the reasons
which Induced Pope Plus VII to con
clude it with Napoleon, especially re
ferring to the provisions made for the
appointment of bishops, the budget of
the ministry of public worship which
was regulated by what was practically
a contract and finally the free exercise
of Catholic worship. He added that
the socalled "organic articles,” added
In 1802 by Napoleon, had never been
recognized by the Holy See, either as
law or as being part of the concordat.
Therefore, the Pontiff deplored the fact
that the present government of the
French republic had. under various
pretexts, charged the Holy See with
not having observed the concordat,
adding that the church had never In
the case of any country. Infringed an
engagement made;
The Pope concluded with saying that
the French government had broken
fundamental conditions of the concor

In violation of the concordat, but which
was also opposed to divine and natural
law. Hie Pope complained of the pos
sibility. due to the existing state of af
fairs. of appointing bishops to the va

hope that an understanding would be
reached.
The majority of the cardinals pres

and remarked that the Pope omitted
the part regarding which he previously
had consulted several of the cardinals,
in which he was said to have appealed
to the people of France and to have
urged them to use their rights as citi

persecuting their religion.

THE KILLING OF WILLIAMS
HAS EXCITED GREAT INTEREST
Johnson County Is Stirred Over the Crime and
the Arrests That Have Followed.
Whightsvilie, Ga., Nov. 14.—What
bids fair to be the most interesting
criminal trial In Johnson county since
the famous Dixon cases several years
ago, is that of four white men and two
white women, who are now in jail here,
charged with the murder of Mr. Clay
ton Williams. The persons now under
arrest are Messrs. Rufus Price, Lofton
Outler, Arthur Moorman, Walter Wal
ker, Mrs. Belle Williams and Mrs.
Lizzie Edge. Price Walker and Outler
come of families of those names In this
section and have wide circles of rela
tives In Johnson and Laurens counties.
The facts and circumstance* con
necting the defendants with the crime,
as produced at the inquest held by
the coroner of Johnson county, Dr. T.
L. Harris, are briefly as follows:
The murdered man, Clayton L. Wil
liams, was about 21 years of age,
a cripple and an invalid. A few
months stnoe, he started a little gro
cery business at Spann, & station on
the Whightsville and Tennllle Rail
road, about five miles from Whights
ville. He was accustomed to staying
at the station during the week, but
invariably on Saturday nights would
walk; out to his father's, about a mile
and a half from his store.
On Saturday night, Nov. 5, he closed
his store, and left on a wagon with
five negroes and a white man, but
parted company with them about a
half mile away; and about 7:30 o’clock,
called on an errand at Robert Pullen's,
a negro living on the road to his fath
er’s, and shooting was heard shortly
after he let Pullen’s, In the direction
of Spann schoolhouse. a buggy with
two or more persons in it, having pass
ed Pullen’s house shortly after Wil
liams left.

young men under arrest. Walker, Price
and Outler, called Mr. R. A. Page, a

prominent farmer, and told him that
they had found Clayton Williams dead
in the road near the schoolhouse about
a half mile. away. Accompanied by
Mr. Pace, all returned to the corpse,
which was scarcely cold, remained a
short while, when Price and a brother
of the dead man, who had arrived in
the meantime, left for Wrightsville,'
and reDorted the death to Dr. Har
ris. the coroner.
A jury was summoned on Sunday
morning, and the scene was viewed,
some evidence was taken; but, on ac
count of a desire to await develop
ments, and secure the attendance of
important witnesses, some of whom
had disappeared, or could not be found
at that time, the taking of evidence
was continued until the latter part of
the past jyeek.
All of the persons under arrest were
sworn as witnesses at the inquest, on
aooount of the fact tlfat they reported
themselves as having tavelled that way
in two buggies on the night of the
homicide and having discovered the
dead body. Being sequestrated during
the examinations of the various wit
nesses, and not allowed to hear ths tes
timony of one another, In some particu
lars the stories told by them were found
to vary and contradict, and hence the
suspicion was aroused that they knew
more than they were telling. For in
stance, one of the defendants describ
ed and identified some potatoes which
she h*ad placed in Walker's pocket be
fore beginning their journey, which po
tatoes had been found on the morning
after the homicide along the road where
Williams had fled from his pursuers,
his course being marked by the blood
running from his wounds; another of
the defendants declared William* w*as
hardly dead when all-arrived there, that
he had seen him make an effort to
speak, and saw him roll his eyes sev
eral times in the agony of de'ath; an
other of the defendants said Williams
had apparently been dead twenty or
thirty minutes before they found his
body; another had told Mr. Page of
putting his hand on the corpse, and
of certain words he then used, which
act and words the witness denied hav
ing related to Mr. Page.
The negro, Robert Pullen, testified
to certain language used by the oc
cupants of the buggy which passed his
house just after Williams had gone;
and one of the defendants testified to
similar language used in the buggy
occupied by her about that time and
place. These were merely some of the
incidents and slight circumstances
leading to the suspecting of the de
fendants. At the conclusion of the evi
dence, the jury, composed of some of
the most substantial citizens of the
county, recommended that the defend
ants, three or more of whom they be
lieved to have committeed the crime,
be committeed to fail without bad to
await the action of the grand Jury.
It was at first thought that rob
bery was the object of the crime, but
some money, a watch and a pistol
were found near the body, which
would indicate that such was not the
case, though it Is said Williams had
S3O or S4O on his person at the time he
left his store, and only a very small
amount was found near his person.
Nevertheless his clothing bore no ap
pearance of having been searched, ex
cept that a small valise which he car
ried had been cut open, searched, and
left near by.
Williams was horribly mutilated,
having been cut. shot and beaten, and
presented a ghastly spectacle when
viewed by the coroner's Jury.
Owing to the mystery surrounding
the tragedy, public interest in the de
tection and prosecution of the guilty
parties has been stimulated to the ut
most; and It Is estimated that 500 or
more citizens of the county attended
the conclusion of the Inquest. Some
think the guilty parties are among
those now under arrest, some think
others are Implicated In the crime with
those now in Jail: while still others
thinks' the prosecution entirely on the
wrong trail.
Since being In Jail, the accused have
employed counsel, demanded a trial
before a court of Inquiry, and develop
ments are anxiously awaited. The case
will be vigorously contested, and quite
an array of counsel pro and con will
appear In the trials. Judge William
Falrcloth has been retained to assist
the solicitor general In the prosecu
tion, while Judge V. B. Robinson. Hon.
J. L. Kent and Mr. A. S. Bussey are
among those who will appear for the
defense.
