of the Bishop of Cobo.
Atlanta, Dec. 20.—Out of 1,632 elec
tions for justices of the peace held
early in December, it is not surprising
that there should have been ten con
tests. The wonder is that there were
not more. Gov. Terrell has received
notice of this number of contests and
has held up the commissions in these
cases until the disputes can be deter
mined.
Besides the ten contests there were
three cases in which tie votes were re
ceived. One of these was in Effingham
county, where B. F. Marston and J. J.
Edwards received the same number of
votes.
The contested elections for justice of
the peace in the southern part of the
state are as follows: In Coffee county,
J. C. Meadows has contested the elec
tion of F. E. McNeil as justice of the
One Thousand, One Hundred and Thir
tieth Mililita district; in Lowndes
county, P. I. Hinely has contested the
election of W. T. Corbett in the One
Thousand, Two Hundred and Eighth
Militia district; in Brooks county J.
W. Williams has contested the elec
tion of F. C. Hester as justice of the
Seven Hundred and Ninetieth district;
in Liberty county D. D. Dryer has
contested the election of Felix Fraser
in the One Thousand, Four Hundred
and Seventy-sixth district; in Tattnall
county F. D. Sapp has contested the
election of W. B. Currency as justice of
the One Thousand, Four Hundred and
Thirty-second district.
To Consecrate Bishop.
The imposing consecration services of
the Protestant Episcopal Church, by
which Rev. Albion W. Knight will be
elevated to the list of bishops of the
church, will be observed here to-mor
row. Mr. Knight was elected at the
recent general convention of the
church held at Boston to be missionary
bishop of Cuba.
The occasion will bring to Atlanta
many of the leading bishops in this
country, beside many clergy from vari
ous parts of the country and many
prominent laymen. Bishop D. S. Tut
tle, of Missouri, presiding bishop of
the church, will be 1n charge of the
ceremony: the ordination sermon will
be preached by Bishop Sessums, of
New Orleans. Other bishops who will
attend and have part in the cere
monies will be W. C. Gray, Florida:
W. H. Morelan, California; C. M.
Beckwith. Alabama: E. G. Weed,
Florida: T. D. Bratton, Mississippi;
J. B. Cheshire, North Carolina; R. H
Weller. Wisconsin; C. K. Nelson,
Georgia, and Ellison Capers, South
Carolina.
Her Thirtieth Appearnnee.
Mrs. Emma Witter, a white woman,
made her thirtieth appearance in Po
lice Court to-day. and it was decided to
send her along to a higher court for
vagrancy. She is the first white wom
an held for vagrancy here In years.
Whisky has been Mrs. Witter's falling,
and the police say she could be seen on
the streets any morning before 5
o’clock waiting for the saloons to open.

B. Kline on the charge of marrying his
niece, resulted to-day in his dismissal,

OXFORD TO CHALLENGE MERCER
To an Intercollegiate Debate to Be
Held in the Spring.
Oxford, Ga.. Dec. 20.—The two liter
ary societies of Emory College will
challenge Mercer University to an in
ter-collegiate debate to be held next
spring. The object is to have at least
one debate in Oxford every year. The
debate, if the challenge is accepted by
Mercer, will be held in Oxford in the
year in which the Emory-Trlnity de
bate is held in Durham, N. C.
A committee representing the two
literary societies has been appointed
to confer with the faculty, and it is
very likely that the permission will be
granted and the challenge will be sent
to Mercer within the next few days.
The committees are as follows: Phi
Gamma, R. M. Girardeau of Savannah;
H. S. Strozler. Mcßae; and from Few,
H. E. Bullard. Savannah, and R. S.
Parker of Atlanta. The decision of the
faculty is being waited for with great
expectation by the members of the two
societies, and the debaters will be se
lected as they were in the Kmory-
Trinity debate, by competitive debates,
presided over by committees from the
faculty.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 21. 1904*
Let This
Be An
ORIGINAL
Christmas
The choosing of the little gift troubles
everybody. The more you think and study,
the more puzzling it becomes. How weary
you grow of the same old shop suggestions
year after year —a handkerchief —a necktie —
candy—some useless trifle.
But here is anew idea: give your friends,
instead of the conventional gift, holiday pack'
ages of Nabisco Sugar Wafers—the most
delightfully original little gift ever conceived.
These exquisite confections, in their glori*
ous coverings of white and red and gold, are,
for Christmas giving, further adorned with
dainty holly ribbons, under which are beauti'
fully illuminated cards to convey your comply
ments and good wishes. Nothing quite so
pleasing as Nabisco for the little Christmas gift
has ever before been seen.
Why not surprise your friends with this
new expression of warmth and cheer —this
charmingly original thought for Christmas ?
NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY
vil In the stricken districts. For ex
ample: One county, I recall, pro
duced 20,000 bales of cotton in 1899;
in 1903, 1,200 bales. There are
scores and scores of counties with a
similar record. The army of weevils,
more destructive than any pest South
ern agriculture has ever encountered,
is marching eastward sixty miles a
year. Up to this time all efforts to
stay the progress of the pests or to de
stroy them have proved Ineffectual.
Avery drastic remedy has been sug
gested—abandon every field in the In
fected sections of the state. This might
prove to be the remedy if the cotton
stalks and all wood and vegetable mat
ter in the fields were first destroyed
by fire, but It is impracticable. There
is no course left except the one sug
gested by the government experts, that
is, the adoption of cultural methods
which will enable each farmer to make
some cotton and prompt him to return
to the old Southern system of farming
—diversification of crops. Have not the
weevils died out in the districts first
inflected? No. The entomologists say
they do not show the least disposi
tion to quit work and die. The wee
vil is lively arid voracious. It is Im
mune to cold, and begins work In
downright earnest as soon as the cot
ton squares are formed. It Is confi
dently believed toy those who have
watched the weevil and studied its
habits, that it is only a question of
a few years when 1t will sweep the
entire cotton belt. All that can be
done by the states yet free Is to en-
force protective legislation and delay
the weevil's coming as long as pos
sible. Meantime, the best thoughts of
the country will be busy in an effort
to discover some remedy for, or devise
some plan by which to minimize the
evil. Notwithstanding the present
gloomy outlook along this line, I be
lieve that In the fullness of time an
effectual remedy will be discovered and
successfully applied. To this end the
national convention, through Its com
mittees, will zealously labor.”
WHERE MEMORY SHAMES.
Thotnasville Times-Enterprise: The
condition of Georgia state politics has
been the subject of earnest concern
among many thinking people for the
last decade. The Impression seems to
be growing that the state is in the

at all improbable that the battle cry
in the next campaign will be "the peo
ple against the corporations.” if there

FIVE YEARS FOR HAMPTON.

granted the doctor, who was convicted
a few days ago on the charge of man
slaughter, alleged to have been com

tion on Mrs. Levinia Evans, in May
last. There were no arguments on the
motion, and It was overruled by Judge
Gordon, who immediately sentenced Dr.
Hampton to the penitentiary for five
years. The ease will be appealed to
the state Supreme Court, and Dr.
Hampton's attorneys were granted
ninety days in which to file a bill of
exceptions. The doctor gave bond in
the sum of $5,000.
