4 and when the crash came she threw her

with one or two other Indies,

cciving the shock Mrs Harbuck began 70
have commissions and one after another
came until o o'clock Tuesday night when
she partially regained consciousness,
When the lady attempted toopen her eyes
the lids seemed paralyzed and her efforts
were ia vain When she did open them
she said that she saw millions OF bright
Flittering stars swimming before her.
Joe Parker. the son Of a well known
farmer of Dry Valley, was arrested and
taken 20 Calhoun Tuesday by Sherin
W ID, Fain, on a serious charge. Monday
Miss. Winnie Campbell, who lives near
BlackwOod Springs, swore out awarrant
for young Parker, charging him with
criminal assault. Miss Campbell is the
daughter of the late w. J. Campbell,
who was one Of Gordon cOunty's old
est and solidest citizens. He died
about six months ago, leaving a wife
and two daughters, of which Miss MIN
ME is the older. The story told by
Miss Campbell is that Parker car
ried her in his buggy TO a sing
ing in tho community Sunday afternoon.
They did not start home until near night
and darkness came on before they
reached home. Near the Campbell home
the road leads through a stretch of thick
woods and here it was very dark. At
, this point, the young lady says, Parker
made a criminal assault upon her, and to
escape from him she leaped from the
buggy and made her way home through
the woods The parties are all well
known and stand well in the vicinity of
Blackwood Springs, and the community
is greatly wrought up over the AFFAIR.
Parker waived a preliminary trial and
gave bond for his appearance at the Sept
ember, superior court.
Hon. Paul Trammell, the newly appoint
ed collector left Washington Tuesday
night for Dalton, where he will be enter
tanned to night by his fellow citizens.
A BANQUET will be given under the aus
pieces of the knights of Pythias, of which
order he is a member. Collector Johnson
resigned with the understanding that he
should retire August lst, and his resigna
ton was accepted with that condition.
1t seems to be generally presumed that
~. G.. Otis, of Columbus, who was
a competitor of Mr. Trammell will oc-
cupy either the positions of chief
clerk or division deputy. The chief
clerkship is now held by j. D. Dunwoody
at a salary of 81 800. The other is Occu-
pied by r. B. Hollis, who draws 81 200
salary, with an allowance of 5000 for
travelling expenses. What other changes
Mr.. Trammell will make in this Office, no
one knows. He has it in his power, aside
from the offices above mentioned, to dis
pose Of the following places occupied by
local men. A. Seers, clerk 81 400 J. p.
Chisolm,. clerk, 81 200. DR.. William King,
clerk, 81 200, II, A. Ruoker clerk,
$1,000 j. n, Blackshear, clerk, 81, 200.
John G. Grader general storekeeper
and gauger, 50 per day. S. B. Greer, gen
eral storeloeeper and gauger, 50 per day.
II. L. Williams, city gauger, fees about
S85 per month. This represents but a
small portion of the patronage Of the
Office which is greater than that of any
other Atlanta federal department, includ-
ing the postofflce. About 100 men draw
pay through the collector, and none of
these appointments are subject to civil
service regulations.
