The grand jury Of Doolv county has
created something of a racket by finding
in which it says: 1--WE find that the present
cororer and his predecessor have not dis
charged their duty in giving decant burial
to one or two unfortunates over whom they
held an inquest and had buried. We pre-
sumo that the object Of the law in appro-
priating Sl5 for burial expenses was to give
the party buried decent interment and rob
ing tn corpse in proper raiment. One of
the unfortunates was buried just as he died,
without change Of clothing and in a rough
constructed pine box, TO say the least of 1t,
We think common humanityought to prompt
the coroner to use more of the appropria-
ton for burial expenses, and not usa his
office to speculate upon the dead. We
charge and accuse the present Incumbent
and his predecessor with misapplying the
funds appropriated for burial purposes"
At recent called session of the Pulaski
County Farmers Alliance resolutions were
adopted asking the East Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and Georgia railroad to pay the
charges of COMPRISING Gotten at Hawkins
vile, inasmuch as the alliance had built a
warehouse and were endeavoring to in
crease the receipts Of cotton. Rev. A
Barnwell representing the alliance, went
to Knoxville, Tenn, last week 10 lay the
matter before the railroad authorities. AT
ter a lengthy conference, the officers of
the railroad decided to pay the the charges.
They allow the compress 10 cents per hun
dred for COMPRISING, or 50 cents for 500
pound bale. THIS arrangement will enable
the buyers to pay about one-sixteenth of
cent pound more for cotton, and the re-
duction in the price of weighing and storage
of cotton is equal to another sixteenth of
cent, thus making cotton worth one-eighth
of cent pound more in Hawkinsville than
it was last year.
