berg, who escaped with ten other convicts
from Cole City last Thursday, has been
captured and returned to the mines. A
letter received to-day by Principal Keeper
Jones from the superintendent at the mines
states that Landsberg succeeded in making
bis way thirty miles down the Alabama
Great Southern road, whom he was captured
last Saturday night. Landsberg is the first
of the fugitives TO be gathered In; but Col.
Jones has every faith that the other ten will
also be bagged at no distant date. He says
with the rewards outstanding which the
lessees have offered for their capture, escape
is practically impossible.
Landsberg is the drummer who misussd q

Robert A. Hardee of Griffin Found
Dead in His Bed.
GRIFFIN, GA, Jan. 12.-"Robers A.
Hardee is dead" was the news that greeted
the early risers in West Griffin this morn

Mr.. Hardee was one of the best known men
in this section of the state. He had been
connected for many years with the firm of
Nall & Bro, cotton exporters doing
business all over the state
For about eight years he was tax
receiver of Spalding county and was noted
FOR his faithful discharge OF his duties. He
was an honest, upright man, possessing the
esteem OF ell. His death was severe shock
TO the entire city, as his most intimate
friends did not know of his illness. He at
tended to his business as usual until the day
before his death, apparently a man in the
most robust health. He leaves a wife and
four children. Mr.. Hardee was a member
of Warren lodge. l. o. o. F., and will be

AN INTERESTING QUESTION.
Can Another County Own Land II
SpaldinR's Boundaries!

Soh AhOLhSE SOuuby OWn h6uo IN
SpaldinR's Boundaries?
From the Griffin (Ga) Meas.
Many years ago, when Spalding county
was created out Of the chaos of various
other counties in this ssctiop, a reservation
was made of 81 lots OF land belonging to
Uriah Askew and then lying in Pike county
but now situated In the southeastern part Of
Mount Zion district Although entirely
surrounded by Spalding county lands, the
act OF the legislature says that this prop
erty, now belonging to Mr.. Asksw's relict
is part OF Pike county.
This anomalous condition OF affairs has
produced an embarr assing clash to the
county authorities of Spalding county. In
the days when the roads we're worked or
not worked in go-as-you-please style, the
ways through this land were as good as any
other ways in that neighborhood, though
not very good by good ways. Whether
the property received any protection from
the peace officers of this county or the
district in which it is situated. to neither Of
which it was amenable for taxes, or
its peace and enforcs its levies
through the bailiffs of Pike
county, history states not. Probably the
tenants OF this seignoralty kept their own
peace. But now that Spalding is building
modern system Of roadways all over the
county and tne law Is being enforced to
make every road hand turn out and work
certain number OF days or pay a commute
tion the question arises whether this part Of
Pike county should be allowed to defy the
mandates of Spalding in this matter, as the
proprietor is trying to do, aud continue in
its old ruts. For goodly portion of a very
important road leading from Griffin TO Zetel "a
and thence clear to the western county
line, lies through the Askew lands. The
mil Of GpalAiny faht
of course, ask the county commissioners of
Pike to have this road worked, but as the
matter is OF no possible interest to the
county commissioners OF Pike the request
would probably prove ineffective. So they
have made the road levies required and
will now bring the question before Judge
Boynton whether the oct of the legislature
was not illegal aud void because contrary
to public policy and detrimental to the pub

MEETING OF THE TRUSTEES.
At the meeting Of the trustees several
plans were suggested for the opening of the
home, but none appeared practicable TO the
directors. Du log the discussion the legisla-
ture came in for share of their criticism,
and when q proposition was made to
make one more effort to have
the home accepted by the state.
Gov. Nortben rose to his feet aud earnestly
advised that the legislature should not be
thought of in connection with the future of
the home, as it would only bring further
humiliation. The governor did not believe
the home would be accepted at the next
session, and was opposed to advertising the
fact that the legislature OF Georgia was not
in sympathy with the old soldiers Of the

voted TO the maintenance of as many
soldiers as could be provided for in small
cottages to be erected on the remaining

$4,000 year for ten years to maintain the
