"To Governor W. Y. Atkinson: Be-
lieving that the people of Pike county
have done all that should be required of

OLD STRAW TRRESHED OYER.

An effort is being made to ressur-
rect the Nixon case, in which Judge
GOber, while presiding at Ran
dolph superior court several years ago.
when Judge Griggs was solicitor-gen-
eral of the Pataula circuit changed
the sentence of man who bad been
convicted of theft, and get it before
the committee constituted to inquire
into Senator Carter's charges Of judi
cial corruption.
This paper has never been an admir-
er of Judge Gober, and does not pro-
pose now defend to him, but we are
frank to say, after scrutinizing the
Nixon matter with all the power of
which we are capable that if this is his
greatest offense against the ermine he
wears he has for a long time been out
rageously abused and slandered.
AS to Judge Griggs. it is merely the
threshing over Of old straw. AT the
time Of its occurrence the matter was
published in the newspapers and thor
oughly ventilated; aud, again, in the
congressional campaign in this district
last summer, it was revamped and in
dustriously circulated, with what eff
fectis well known to all. Three times
since this alleged corruption was per-
petrated have the people of Randolph
county, who know all the facts in the
case, indicated Judge Griggs by over
whelmingly endorsing him for high
and responsible public trusts.
Judge Griggs could we'll afford to
rest the matter upon the vindication
thus given him, but he courts the most
rigid investigation and as soon as it
came to his Knowledge that Senator
Carter's charges against the judiciary
involved him and the Nixon case he
both wired and wrote Judge Gober urg-
ing him to demand an investigation at
the hands of the legislature, and wired
Senator Stevens from this district in
sistIng that the committee should be
authorized toinquire into all the facts.
THE News has always insisted that
the judiciary should be above even a
suspicion of corruption, and while we
believe full and impartial inyestiga-
ton would absolye the gentlemen con-
cerned in this matter from any wrong
doing we hope it will be thoroughly
ventilated. by the investigating COM
mittee and all the facts put before all
the people. Then, if official crooked
ness is proven, none will be quicker to
condemn than THE News.

SHOT BY Her HUSBAND.
MRS. WILLIAMS OF LAURENS
ELOPED WITH LANNON'S.
Left Her Baby at Home While Her
Husband Was Away Till Noon
at Work.

| WADLEY, GA, December Is. After
riding the long distance of over seven
| ty miles William Williams, a hard
working farmer of Laurens county
shot to death Griffin Lannon's, the dis
turber of his family relations.
Six years ago Williams married a
pretty country lassIe just merging in
| her teens. He loved her passiOnately
and spent nearly fortune upon her.
Thursday morning he went to his work
before daylight, working by the aid of
tire-light. At noon, fatigued with
labor he had performed, he returned
to the house for his dinner, but failed
to find his wife or child. The furni-
ture and other utensils were scattered
about the floor in prOfusion. He was
amazed.
He went to- neighbours house and
found his baby, crying bitterly for it's
mother. Upon a search being instltut-
ed her shoe tracks were found in a
field, and where she went through a
branch tell-tale note received by
the woman from Lannon's told the
story.
Goodbye, baby, Pm going off to
find your mother and Kill the man
whom | find with her." he said as
he jumped into his road cart and drove
off.
He came up with the clipping couple
today in the lower part of Emanuel
county, and, it is reported, without a
word of warning shot him through the
heart, inficting a mortal wound.
Lannon's was a widOwer of 40 and
had several grown sons and daughters

Glddness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills which vanish before proper eff.
forts-gentlee fforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup Of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore
ali important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, q
may be commended to the most SlIillful
physicians but if in need of 2 laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
usedand gives most general satisfaction

dynamo of remarkable powers. By
running her hands through her hair
she can produce a shower of electric
