County Court.

The May term of the county court be-
gan this morning with all the commission
ers present.
The first business taken up was the re-
port of the county attorney as to the title
to the Dwyer- Kappmann property
on Main plaza, recently purchased by the
county for courthouse site. He reported
that the title was correct, and the report
was accepted.
The order was then made TO pay the
Dryer estate $4,000 in cash or bonds,
and the Kampmann estate $4,000.
The method of paying in cash is
offered, as well as in bonds, because the
county Judge says he has buyer for the
bonds at 4 per cent premium. II theven
doris are willing to accept cash, the county
will make the 4 per cent profit on the
issue of $4,000.
Bids for the new court house were
then opened. There were 81 architects
in the field with plans, and it was decid-
ed to examine each plan separately and
have each architect explain their own
plans. Accordingly, the name of A. Cross
was drawn by lot and he was given the
first opportunity Of explaining his plans.

Col. Terrell Acquitted.

Col. Terrell was tried Friday last by the
the recorder on an affidavit of Sanitary
Inspector Norman, for failure to
clean his vaults or cess
pool. The evidence showed that
Col. Terrell had not only been notified to
have the work done, but the sanitary in
spector had transcribed his authority,
took the measurements himself, and rec
commended the Simmang sanitary works
to do the work. Col. Terrell refused to
pay this company more than the legal
rate fixed by ordinance, and his arrest
followed. He was acquitted.

The Aldermanic Election.

There are four candidates in the field
for alderman, and all of them good men.
but as far as the Office is concerned, Mr..
Hunt is the choice of the tax payers. At
the last city election, Mr.. Hunt was the
only man who had the nerve to denOunce
the King, all the other three men, who
are now running for the office, were
strictly King Bryan men.
Frank Dignowity showed himself to be
such, in the letter which he wrote to the
Express, in which he praised King Bryan
and upheld his administration.
The voters of the sixth ward must not
be divided, but should cast their vote for
Mr.. Hunt. Do not cut up your vote in
supporting the different administration
candidates.
Mr.. Hunt was fairly elected at the last
election, his defeat being secured only
through men who had no Interest in this
city. He now again appears before you
as candidate. Go to the polls and vote
for the best interest of the city.

Having oyer-powered two, who had direct charge of them, they made a rush for the gates, which had been left open for them to enter. The zebras were led by noted convict named John Ward, a bank robber who led a like attempt and escaped from the Pen, at Rising Pawn, Ga, being recaptured and brought to Cole City. He was fatally wounded, comrade named Langdell was killed, and two others. Palmer twhitel and Jackson (colored), mortally hurt.

Three prisoners escaped but one has already been caught A reward of 500 each has been offered for tue others. There arc about 700 couyicts at work in the Cole City mines, and a mutiny among them would be a very serious af- fair. All is quiet Cole City is in tho mountains, and telegraph communication is broken. Ths dead convicts will be sent to Atlanta. Cofius were brought here to- day for the guards who were killed
