LUMBER MEN TO MEET.
They Will Discuss Certain Measures
of Importance to Manufacturers.
The lumber manufacturers in the
southern states are very desirous of
establishing uniform rules for the
classification and grading of yellow
pine lumber.
The lumber manufacturers of
Georgia, Florida and Alabama will
meet at Macon on Tuesday, October
28. Besides securing a closer union
of the lumber interest of the States,
another and more pertinent question
. is to be bandied. The. inspection
, law now being well prepared will be
discussed, and after making whatever
changes the ■ meeting may deem
proper, the bill will be introduced
in each of the legislatures of Georgia,
Florida and Alabama, and possibly
other states. The terms of the pro
posed act will be entire l }’ in the
hands of the meeting to determine.
It is safe to believe, whatever law
the lumbermen unite upon, will be
favorably received by the several
legislatures. To make the law ef
festive it should be uniform in at
least the three states named.
Whatever else may be embodied in
the act it is hoped that a system of
lumber inspection will bo provided;
that inspection at the mill or at
some other point within the jurisdic
tion of the state courts be absolute;
that delivery to the buyer be made
either at the mill or some point in
the state where the mill is located.
The object of those provisions are
easily understood. ; Transactions in
lumber may then be consummated
within the jurisdiction of the state
courts. Under the present system
of lumber delivery the seller is prac
tically without redress, if he should
fall into the hands of an unreason
able and dishonest buyer.

JUDGE COKER
And a Post Reporter Sugges
Some Change
For the Legislature to Arrange Neo
essary Laws for the Collection
of Costs. - Listen to the
Judge's Tale oi'Woe.
A justice of the peace is the inos
abused officer in the face of the world
In an article published a few day
ago on the subject of justices of tin
peace, an attempt was made to shov
up some of the greatest evils attend
ing the life of this eminent lega
light.
It is our purpose now to sugges
a remedy for a large number of thes<
evils.
Every one concedes that a justice
of the peace is a necessary adjunc
to every highly civilized community
Every one realizes the necessity o
having a fearless and consciencioui
•officer to administer our laws. li
large cities where hundreds of casei
are to be tried each month it is abso
lutely necessary to have a justice o
the peace whose dutv it is t<
try these cases and thus save a high
er court of immense labor and th<
state and county immense sums o
money.
Now let us consider the duties de
volving upon a. justice of the Peace
All civil suits amounting to less that
one hundred dollars are brought ii
his court. Nine tenths of the cases
of this kind are brought by ir.espon
sible parties for insignifieanl
amounts and against people not
worth a dollar. If the justice of the
peace refuse to sue the case the
would be plaintiff has the justice
ruled.
Nearly all criminal eases hav<
their origin in the justice court. A
majority of the law breakers an
worthless negroes and their prosecu
tors are as notorious as themselves
In many instances after swearing
out a warrant for the arrest of at
offender and after keeping him in
careerated in the county prison, ai
the county’s expense, the proseeuto
is never heard of and, of course, th<
defendant must be discharged, li
such a case the justice of the pcaci
goes without his costs and the conn
ty is at a loss for th<J* board of thi
prisoner.
Now how can such a state of affain
be remedied? There is but one wa}
and that is for the legislature to en
act laws compelling the plaintiff it
:rll cases t> deposit the ‘'eventua
condemnation money” or resonabb
costs of the case with the justice o
the peace [upon filing the papers it
the case. Then all the charges ti
the effect that a justice usually de
tides a case in such a manner as ti
secure Ins cost would have w
weight us the payment of the cos
was already made certain by du
posit.
No better plan has ever been srtg
gested for the collection of delin
quent costs. And the legislator win
will introduce such measures inti
the legislature will live to be blessei
of all justices of the peace.
"A COMMON CURSE.”
Expressions From a Lawyer Tha
Will Need no Explanation.
“Do you know the most commot
curse in Brunswick ?” asked an at
torney of a Post reporter this morn
ing.
On the assurance that the reporter
was unable to single out the mos
common of the common curses fount
in this city, the attorney continued
“Well I’ll tell you what it is. 1
is the confirmed habit »f the ma
jority of married men to record thei
property in the names of their wive*
I think 1 can assert, without an;
fear of successful contradiction, tha
the records will show three fourth
of the married men of Brunswiel
who have real estate, hold sue
property in their wives’ names.”
“Why is this?” inquired the r<
porter.
“It is simply to avoid the conib
cation of their property for the liqu
dation of their debts. It is a plait
open and shut gume ami men wh
> adopt that under one word han
method do not pretend to offer an
feasible solution for such conduct.
“Wbut is the tendency of the pol

Railroad Rumblings.
, t The unusual delay of the trains on
e the East Tennessee, Virginia and
e Georgia railroad yesterday was oc ;
e casioucd by the burning of the track
at Wheaton. The people of Bruns
e wick were thoroughly worried over
the non arrival of mail and freights.
e The burnt track was repaired as
j. soon as a force of hands could be
s carried to the scene and the trains
g have resumed their schedule.
a The railroads are hustling to keep
! up their reputations. Four wrecks
last week, with an aggregate of fif
)r teen killed and scores injured is a
le pretty fair week’s work. That is
n sufficient. Don’t try to break the
, e record, as a coffin trust has been
j. formed.
Sun lay a passenger train left At
lanta at 3 o’clock p. m. and arrived
, g at Macon exactly at 5:30, making
y the run in the remarkable time of
j two hours and thirty minutes. This
j train ran a distance of eighty seven
miles and made twenty stops. The
l e average estimated speed was some
lt - thing over forty miles per hour. Few
n roads in the country equal this.
to There seems to be no doubt but
e _ that there will be a change of man
-0 agement or ownership of .the Coving
-10 ton st Macon road at an early date.
It is said th : Georgia, Caroliua <fc

FAY'S DIAMOND'S
What Has Become of Those
Precious Jewels?
Howell Osborn's Valet Still Lan
guishes in Jail—Fay’s Lawyer
Seeks Collector Erhardt-
Valued at SIO,OOO.
g a
“What has become of Fay Temple
ton’s diamonds?” is a question that
has been asked considerably of late.
The New York World, of the 21st.
inst., says:
“Henri Ilirschy, Howell Osborn’s
valet, languished in Ludlow street
jail yesterday, as bail was not offer
ed for him to United States Commis
sioner Hitchcock, who will act in
the matter in Commissioner Shield’s
absence. Fay Templeton sent her
lawyer, A. J. Dittenhoefer, to see
Collector Erhardt about the dia
monds the valet smuggled for her.
“Ex-Judge Dittenhoefer repeated
to the collector the statements he
made in court, which the World pub
lished. He said that the diamonds
belonged to Miss Templeton, that
she owned them before she went
abroad and that she had worn them
both here and in Europe. Collector
Erhardt answered that, before he
could take any official cognizance of
the case, these statements, with any
collateral evidence, must be etnbod
ied in affidavits by the person claim
ing to be the owner of the property.
These affidavits must then be sub
mitted to the collector, who will in
vestigate the matter and reach his
own conclusions,which he will submijj
to the Secretary of the treasury

it is generally believed intheeusWß
house to be from $19,000 to $15,00M
In explanation of the fact that trW
songstress did not bring her
home with her when she returned
from Europe, a story was told in
Wall street yesterday to the effect
that young Osborn and she ran out
of funds abroad, so rapid was their
pace. He could not overdraw hi*
allowance, so she put her diamonds
in pawn. When the time arrived
for her to return under her contract
neither of them had any money, so
she was forced to leave the jewelry
in pawn. A short time ago, so the
story went, Osborn obtained money,
redeemed the jewels and sent them
to her so that she might wear them
during her engagement here.
“Before leaving Collector Erhardt,
ex Judge Dittenhoefer assured him
that he would soon furnish him
ample proof, in the shape of the nec
essary affidavits, that Miss Temple
ton really owns the diamonds.”
