COUNTY GETS BACK ITS CASH.
LOOSE BUSINESS METHODS DEVEL-
OPED IN sPALDING.

Tax Collectors and Receivers over
paid by the County From SO to
$3OO-Chairmnn of the Board of
County Commissioners Overdrawn
Nearly $3,OO0-AH the Money Re-
funded and the Chairman Resigns.
The Facts Brought Out by the
Grand Jury's Investigation.
Griffin, Ga, Jan. 25.-The grand jury
made its report late this afternoon, and it
win afford interesting reading to the tax
payers of the county
The grand jury of the last term ap-
pointed an expert to examine the books
and accounts of ell the county officers
handling any of the county funds, and his
report made to the jurors of the present
term was not only voluminous, but start
ling. as it showed many glazing discrep-
ancies.
Tax collectors and receivers had been
overpaid in amounts ranging from $40 to
$780, while against Col. Thomas r. Mills,
chairman of the Board of Commissioners,
there was a discrepancy of nearly 5000.
All these moneys, aggregating $3,7l6.02,
were promptly paid back into the county
treasury before the jury adjourned.
1t is not often that Georgia grand jury
finds money enough by it's Investigations
to more than pay the entire expenses of
the court, but so it has been in Spalding
county the past week
Col. Mills on yesterday paid into the
county the last of his shortage, which
amounted to $1,S46. He this morning sent
his resignation as a member of the coun-
ty commissioners to the Governor, the
same 10 take effect at once. Col. Mills has
been commissioner for eleven years, and
chairman of that body for eight years.
There is, of course no ground for sus-
picion of crookedness on the part of any
of the county officials involved, and the
discrepancies in the county's accounts
We're due entirely to the loose methods an
which the county's financial affairs have
been run.

Miss Frances E. Willard who has been
attending the worlds convention of the W.
c. 7. u, says that better health for wo-
men is to-day a more urgent matter than
woman's suffrage
She says: what women at present
most need is better supply of red corpos-
cles."
From every section of the country, from
Maine to California, come well-attested re-
ports of women, bloodless, dyspeptic, ner-
vous. seriously run down, and in many
cases SO weak as to be bed-ridden, who
have been enabled to resume their places
in the family circle and in social life

aid of that great bloodmaker and health
maker, Paine's celery compound.
Mrs. E. A. Ward is one of these fortu-
nate women whom Paine's celery COM

lack blood, recommend Paine's celery
compound as beyond all question the one
remedy that can be depended on to renew
the vitality of feeble persons.
This sttled confidence in Paines celery
compound is not a hearsay belief, but
rests in nearly every case on personal use
or acquaintance with men or women who
have been restored to useful health by no
other means The rapid change for the
better in color, flesh and expression of
the face Is so unmistakable that repair of
the wasted tissues might well be called
renewal of life.
The process by which Paines celery
compound is able to build up health in
the rundown body is not hard to under
stand when one observes how surely it dis
poses the bowels to act regularly. how it
increases the capacity to take and assim-
ilate food, and regulates the nerves all
over the body.
The heavy, alarming pain In the back
and loins disappears; the growing pale
ness and loss of flesh is stopped and a
bright buoyant feeling gradually takes
the place of that amending sense of tire
and depression
Paine's celery compound is the exact
remedy for that large class of feeble thin
blooded, often hysterical persons whose
greatest need is a thorough refurnishing
OF their blood with the red corpuscIes up-
on winch health and happiness in such
large measure depend.
The extraordinary virtue of Paina,s ca1
cry compound to increase the proportion
OF red corpuscles in the blood is the source
OF It's great power over all blood diseases
rheumatism, neuralgia, kidney diseases
PACK aches, loss of flesh and general run
down condition.

NEWS OF TENNILLE.
Murder Near DavisbOrO-TaIk of
WaterwOrI<s.

Tennille, Ga, Jan. 25.-IInformation
reached here late yesterday evening of a
murder of woman by her husband. Both
are colored. The husband wanted some
money that his wife had, and failed by per-
suasion to get il. Finding 1t impossible on
this line, he tried to compel her to give it
to him. Becoming exasperated, he jerked up
his gun and shot her dead in her tracks
The man has not been captured.
A meeting of the citizens of Tennille was
called a few days ago, for the purpose of
considering a proposition to put up water
works midway between Sandersville and
Tennille, and supply both cities. There is
a high hill about midway between the
two towns that the company propose to
place the works on, and raise the water
one hundred feet above the highest build
ings in the towns. The company had made
its estimates, but since Tennille had her
meeting, Sandersville has learned that we
can have the works put up cheaper. The
Baldwin Company wanted a guarantee
for thirty years. A close calculation re-
veals the fact that the difference In insur-
ance with the mercantile business with,
and without the water works, would pay
for water In Tennille, and would therefore
be safe investment for the merchants to
make.

Days-Legs Cut on and He Dies.
Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 25-Ava Marchman, a
carpenter, of Ga Mcdaniel street. died at
the Grady hospital to-day, after a most
horrible experience.
Last week he left his home to walk to
Bolton, and going thence TO the little town
tween Atlanta and Bolton he was suddenly
stricken with paralysis. He was walking
along the railroad when he fell, his legs
giving way under him and fearing that he
would fall and be run over by passing
train, he managed to drag himself into the
woods
He thought that little rest would bring
him around all right, but was Mortified to
discover that the longer he remained I'M
der the trees the more helpless he became
He was finally completely paralyzed, and
could not even call for assistance.
The unfortunate man remained four days
in this condition, before he was discovered
and brought into the city.
The day before he was rescued he was
seen lying by the side of the railroad by
a young farmer. but thinking that he was
drunk he paid no attention to him. The
next day, however, the farmer and his ia
Their happened to be near the spot again.
and they then took charge of the unfor-
tunate.
During the time he lay in the woods.
Marchman's legs were both frozen, and
when he was taken TO the hospital the
doctors decided that they would have to
be amputated. This operation was per-
formed, but the terrible ordeal through
which he had passed had so shocked his
system that he could not rally

SOLDIER UNDER SUSPICION.
COMRADE BELIEVED TO HAVE As
SAssINATED NAMING.

The Prisoner Member of the same
Company as the Man kiiied-An-
other Member of the Company Also
Arrested on Suspicion But Is Re
lrased-The Prisoner and the Nan
Killed on Fad Terms.
Atlanta. Ca. Jan. 25-Private Peal Man
ming of Company f. stationed al Fort Nc
Pherson was arrested to-day and -o"-ed
3, in the Fulton county jail, accused OF The
assassination OF Private Noble oil that
company. which occurred near tie bar
racks last week.
Private Arthur Brown of Company II
was also arrested, suspected OF compile
ity, but later was released.
The arrests were made 10y Marshal Ryan
OF Oakland district, in which the barracks
is located.
The circumstantal evidence against
Manning is very strong Both ne and
Brown were at enmity with the murdered
man. and the afternoon of the day of the
assassination Manning ana Noble had
had a quarrel. The feud between these
two is supposed to have dated from The
trip of the troops to Chickamauga last
summer, when Noble amused himself by
bullying a young private named Smith,
who was warm friend of Manning, who
defended him. After that time they had
frequent quarrels, especially when Noble
was drinking.
The afternoon of the day Noble was
shot from ambush near the barracks
Manning was seen to leave the reserva-
ton dressed in citizens clothing, and it is
known to have been near the place where
the killing occurred. He came back to the
barracks shortly after the shooting, and
his conduct was noticibly peculiar.
A quiet investigation has been in pro-
gress ever since the tragedy. Both Man
ming and Brown attended TO their duties
as usual and so far as their comrades
knew, there was no suspicion attached
10 them.
The preliminary investigation will be
made by the officers at the post after
which Manning will be tried for murder
by the state courts.
The killing took place out side of the
reservation on the public road.
