THE POLICEMAN'S PAT
The Athens correspondent for the
Augusta Chronicle, whatever else he
may have, has certainly a desperate
desire to advertise in the most sensa
tional way the citizens, the institutions,
the publio departments and the morals
of the city of Athens.
Whatever object be has in his work
no one csn see, unless it is to keej
fathers from sending their sons to tt
University, mothers from sending thei
daughters to the seminaries and to keei
business men from patronizing th«
hotels and make the people through
out the State believe that Athens is
grossly immoral oity.
Last Snnday the following special
from Athens appeared in the Augusta
Chronicle:
“Athens, Ga., April 29.—The good
p ople of the town are talking abont
another gamblers’ sensation today. A
young gentleman who came to the city
on a visit paid bis board in advance for
a month at one of the hotels. The
crowd of ropers about the hotel soon
induced him to indulge in a quiet game
of cards and tb< y went to a notorious
.dive. He returned to the hotel at 3
o’clock the next morning fleeced of bis
money and was compelled to ask the
hotel proprietor to refund the monej
he bad paid in advance to him. If all
the truth was known such instances as
this are of frequent occnrrence. The
ice berg guardians of the place rock on
in the even tenor of their way.”
From the boarders at tbe different
hotels in the city and on tbe streets,
from those who would be likely to
know, the reporter tried to learu or
hear something about the “gamblers
sensation” but could And no one that
had ever beard of it.
The clerks and proprietors of each of
the hotels In the alty were Interviewed
on the subject of the “young man that
was fleeced,” and when they read the
article and heard the story they all
denied and denounced the articlp,
some of them expressing a desire to
sign an article for publication to that
iffect.
Whether the young man and the
hotel were real or imaginary no one
knows, as neither had any name, des
cription of location. The crowds of
ropers are likewise without identity,
and the notorious dive is known only
to the creative mind of the correspond

MINOR ITEMS. S
Win be the Subject of DIacumJoo Mon
- day.
Next Monday afternoon the oouaeil
meeting will be lively in many partic
ulars.
One of the things that will stir np
considerable interest will be the report
on the subject of Policeman Good rum’s
leave of absence to hunt up witnesses
for the defense in the Beusse case.
Chief Dayis gave him a leave of ab
sence and had a man put on in bis place.
He has recommended payment for the
service of tbe policeman during those
days. Mayor Tack has refused to ap
prove of this action, and consequently
the whole matter will come np before
council on a motion to pay the salary
to the substitute for the days he was off
duty.
Chief Davis says that Mr. Goodrum
lame to him and asked him for leave of
ibeenoe. He told Goodrnm he could
isve e leave of absence if he would put
\nother man in hie place and pay him
mt of his own salary.^ Goodrum then
told him his object in-getting off.
Chief davis says that police depart
ments in all cities furnish at different
rimes detectives to citizens who desire
the use of experienced men in that
work.
Tbe council will pass upon this mat
ter Monday, and the adjustment of the
differences is looked forward to with
interest.
