The opponents of the measure as well as those who most strongly fav ored it, voted againt cutting the ap propriation down to $25,000, its op ponents beleving the reduction of the amount would strengthen it.

WHITE FAKIRS WIN UMBO Two Young Men have Been Working a Bunco Game I LOCAL MERCHANTS EASY With a Little Advertising Scheme end Smooth Tongues the Pair was Doing a Good Business in the City. Two young white men. who refuse to give their names, are i.. *he Glynn county jail on the charge of chewiit.g and swindling, and the game that they worked among the merchants of the city was a good one, and a bunco game that will catch the average busi ness man. These two fellows, who have a very good appearance and are slick with their tongues, have been in the city for several days working their game, arid it was discovered yesterday just in time to lodge them in jail. These men represented themselves to the merchants of the city as repre sentatives of the Southern Railway, and stated that they were getting up a time table. The table was to be ju the center of a large card, and around it was to be eight advertisements. The merchants were asked to pur chase space, for which they charged anywhere from $2 to $5. Thera were to be only eight ads on the time tab'e, but it appears that the slick ducks se cured double that number, and were about to leave the city with about SSO. T. S. Fortson, the well-known drug gist, was the first to catch on to the scheme. The men visited Ids place of business, and he bought aspace on the time table. Mr. Forlsou did not like tlie appearance of the men, and visited tile store of Levy Bros., [to ascertain whether or not that firm had bought aspace, audit was learned that they had, but did not pay in advance for it as did Mr. Fortson. Yesterday morning the pair carried to Mr. Levy's a copy of the time table. Mr. Levy observed that the ad. of Fortson’s drugstore was not on the time table, and tie at once notified Mr, Fortson of the fact, and this gentle man started out on a search for the men. They were found comfortably seated at tlie free lunch counter in the Ar cade. and when approached by Mr. Fortson stated that his ad. would ap pear on the next time table to be is sued: but this was not the understand ing, as tlie men stated that only one table would be issued, and on it would appear only eight advertisements. Mr. Fortson demanded that tlie men return the $3.50 lie had paid them, which was done. Mr, Levy then discovered the fact that his ad, was not on all of the time table, and he, too, demanded the re fund of his money. The two men then took the railroad track and were making good headway when apprehended by Officer Ooinw near the four-mile crossing 11. M, Millet & Son staff, bought a space, and, learning of the bunco game, they looked for the men, but not finding them, Mr. Ado Miller and Officer Grins secured a buggy and S lcceeded in catching the couple be fore they got out of the city, and t hey now occupy cell >'o, 10, A reporter of the News last night visited the men in their cell, but both refused to talk, and even refused to tell I heir names. They claimed, how> ever, that they did not know upou what charge they were arrested, and only remarked that they were not guilty of any crime, Ono of the men signed his hame as W. .1. Jennings to the receipts given the different merchants. ON THE LINKS. Golf Club will Enjoy a Handicap Gam* this Afternoon for Club Medal.

July 30 —That Senator Conuan will be given the democratic nomination for the presidency is the firm belief of Representative Living ston of Georgia, who has been dis cussing the outlook with democrats from all i>arts of the United States. Mr. Livingston said today that Sena tor Gorman was much stronger in the south In his opinion than any other democrat. There might be a few |o- j calities in some of the southern states where the preference at present was for some other man, but be believed thatt before the meeting of the con vention the southern states would be practically united in support of Mr. Gorman. Mr. Livingston ’ said that his talks with men from the north and west convinced him that Mr, Gorman's strength was not confined to the south alone, but that he was regarded in other sections of the country as the strongest man who could be nomin ated. Mr. Gorman ts regarded in all parts of the country as a man ou whom all elements ol the democratic party can unite. In the opinion of Mr. Livingston he will poll the full strength of the democratic party if he is nominated. Further than this there are evidences that he would bring to the support of the democratic ticket certain elements of the republi can party that are not satisfied with Mr. Roosevelt. It has been apparent, almost ever since Mr. Roosevelt succeeded to the presidency, that certain elements of the republican party were very much dissatisfied with his course.. While the party leaders all agree that he must be reuomluated with few excep tions they would secretly like to see him replaced by some other man. They realize, however, thatt this can not be done and while they will ac quiesce in his nomination, their sup port of him in the campaign cannot boas hearty as it would be if some one more acceptable to them were at the head of the tickt. The anti-imperialtste to a man are opposed to Mr. Roosevelt. In the ag gregate they make up a considerable element lln the republican party and the democratic candidate can have their votes if he is not objoctlouabie to them on other grounds STRYCHNINE IN CAPSULES. iJtisgro is Charged with Attsmpt to Poison His Wife.
