THE committee of the Atlanta Clear
ing House Association, appointed to
investigate the condition of the State
Savings Bank, found that the man who
made the application for receivership
was mere dummy or figure head, and
held that he ought not to have had any
standing in court at all. The commit
tee calls upon the business men of the
state to unite in an effort to have the
legislature rectify the evils of the re-
ownership system. When the legisla-

body in Georgia for relief from the

FROM many states have come a de-

passed by the Georgia Legislature at it's
recent session. 1t has already been in
PRODUCED without change in several
legislatures, and the Alabama house of
representatives voted Tor it unani-
mously few days ago. The trusts
have so long ignored and defied the
federal statutes which aim at them
that the efforts TO reach them by state
legislation was considered hopeless.
But the Georgia legislature went
ahead and passed its antitrust bill,
and when the trusts took look at it
they saw that it meant business and
fastened to signify their intention to
obey it.

A UNIQUE suit for SANDER has arisen
at Jackson, Tenn. 1t is entered by
Miss Guinare Hampton of Paragould,
Ark, against DIR. IL. w. Key, of the
Memphis Conference Female Institute
and who was at one time prominent in
educational circles in this section of
Georgia. Miss Hampton attended the
Conference Institute and often let
the words "Jesus Christ" slip from
her dainty lips in an indiscriminate
manner. She was frequently warned
by the teachers, but still persisted in
her "cusslng" and was expelled. Now
she has entered suit for SANDER on the
ground that her language was not pro-
fame in the eyes of the law.

An Embarrassing Counting Incident.
From the Dublin Dispatch.
A good joke is tod by Postmaster
Vivian L. Stanley on two young men in
Dublin. A few evenings ago they went
to country home to see two young la
dies-sisters. AS is the case IN MANY
homes, bedroom served the REQUIRE
ments of parlor; and, before the arrival
of the young men, the girls, as they were
going to supper, thoughtlessly laid
two faultlessly white gowns upon chair
IN the reception room. And the
boys got there too early. They
were ushered Into the parlor by the
LdIueI, ana one or them seated
himself upon ono of the gowns.
The young ladies came in. The young
man who was on the gown got glance
at the white object. Horror upon hor-
rOrs! He believed that his own rainent
was not altogether correct, so he skillful-
ly but noiselessly stuffed the gown down
into his breeckes. He carried The gown
home, had it Numbered and returned il
to its owner.

Newbold Kills Respected Citizen Of
Spartanburg.

Sr RrANBuRG, S. G.. Nov. 10.-The
bloody ground of the State constables
has been stained again with the blood
of good citizen. j. Henry Turner,
most quiet, gentle, peaccable man,
lies dead at his home this morning,
slain by the hand of a cowardly assassin.
Mr.. Turner lived four Or five miles
above town. He aimed to take the
morning train for the State fair. He
left home in buggy with ". c. Bruce,
a young white man, who has been liv-
ing with him for some time. Neither
was armed with anything unless it was
pocket knife They had nothing in
the buggy. AS they we're passing
Stevens Grove colored church, about
two and half miles north of town,
slowly trotting on the grade, two white
men ran out from near the church and
followed after the buggy. One moved
faster than the other and soon passed
in front. Bruce was driving and be-
fore he could check his mule the man
fired twice, one ball entering the neck
of Turner. He then said, 'I've got
to search that buggy and he called
for the other man in the rear to come
and make the search. He kept his
pistol out all the time in threatening
position. Bruce told him to search,
which he did, before the other man
came up. Bruce then said: You We
shot him" The reply was: eyes,
he's shot, and you had better carry
him to a DOCTOR Bruce then came
on to town and the man in the rear
came with him. That man was Con-
stable Howie. When they reached
DR.. Deans Turner was dead. He
never spoke after he was shot. DR..
Dean told Bruce the best thing to do
was to carry him back home. He did
this and Howie went with him. Eowie
said Newbold did the shooting but he
was mistaken in the man. Newbold
paid no attention to the matter, no
more than if he had shot wild animal.
It is said that Newbold and three
others are travelling around in a cover
ed wagon making raids wherever they
can. No arrests have been made up
to noon.
Mr.. Turner was one of the best be-
haved men of his community. For
years he has been consistent member
of the church. The most of our citi-
zens are very indignant.
The shooting took place about . a.
m. The coroner will hold his inquest
to-day. It is said that Newbold will
not report here but that he will turn
up in Columbia tonight. It is sup.
posed that he ordered horse and
buggy early after the shooting from a
livery stable here through another
person and that he will take the train
for Columbia and attend the fair fes-
tiyities tonight and tomorrow.
Our people denounce this as the act
of blood thirsty coward who takes
advantage Of his Office to shoot down
innocent people.
