TRIED TO RAID CUSTOM HOUSE.
But Collector TOIbert Turned the
COnStabIes Down.

Charleston, S. c., March 2S.-The dispen-
sary constables made a raid to-day on
the warerooms in the basement
of the Custom House, but their
search proved a waterhaul. The consta-
bles called on Collector John Tolbert, who
is the guardian of the building, yesterday
and stated their mission. Col. Tolbert
told them that he was certain that there
was no blind tiger liquor in the ware
house, and he did not intend to allow
them TO search the building without an
order from one of the United States
Courts. The property was in his charge
Col. Tolbert said and under his oath of
office he intended to protect everything in
the building. The 'informa ton and be-
lief theory of the constables was more
than Col. Tolbert was willing TO stomach
The constables consulted Gov Nc.
Sweeney by wire again this afternoon as
to whether the state would pay the duty
on the liquor in bond a the Custom House
if it were seized. The answer was affirm
alive, and the constables once more called
on Collector TOibert He declined TO al
low them to take anything from the
bonded warehouse. The collector has sent
TO Washington for instructions and the
constables are awaiting developments.

In Trying to Avoid One Train He

Atlanta, March 2S.-While attempting to
step out of the way of Georgia Railroad

ing. R. w. Brice. an aged man, stepped
directly in front OF switching train of

killed.
The accident occurred at Yonge street
at the Oakland Cemetery crossing. AS
the Old man stepped in front of the train

squarely across the rail and four box cars
and the engine passed over him. The body
was cut into two distinct pieces and
death was instantaneous
Just the switch engine pushing four
freight cars rolled over Yonge street cross

Road passed. The Southern train was
backing into the city while the Georgil
train was pulling out for Augusta Mr.
Brice was walking down the track TO-
ward Yonge street, and was on the third
track from the Georgia train. The noise
of the passenger train evidently confused
the old man. and without looking up, and
thinking he was getting out of the way
of danger, Mr.. Brice stepped directly in
front of the moving freight cars. lie was
within ten feet of the street crossing and

WHO WILL BE THE sAoRIFIcEs
Here Is a Peculiar Situation In Full
ton County Politics.


Atlanta, March 2S-Messrs John NJ. Sla-
ton and Morris Brandon, who have so
ably represented Fulton county in the
Legislature in the past. to-day announced
for reelection to the next house. Both
are lawyers.
This makes four announced candidates
for the Legislature, Ex-Mayor Porter King
and c. C. Houston the labor candidate,
being the others. The result is somewhat
vague, as Houston has 1900 conceded
votes This seems to be an uncertain
quantity.
As the other three candidates are pull
ing for this vote, and as some of the labor
leaders, including Lawyer c. L. Ladson,
Jerome Jones, Jerry Williams and others
are pretty smooth politicians, it may be
that they may dicker whereby they may
be able to land Houston.
The question arises in this event, who
will be the sacrifice, King, Slaton or
Brandon? 1t has been limited, but this is
all surmise, that there is tacit combina-
ton between the labor element and Clark
Howell for senator, and Porter King, Nor
ris Brandon and C. c. Houston for the
House. This leaves Slaton who was chair
man of the General Judiciary Committee
of the last House. in the cold, but Slaton
must be taken into consideration in nam
ing the three men from Fulton as he
has host of friends in the county.
The fight is so unique that it promises
to be exceedingly interesting.

Spring
HumOrs

II doesn't make any difference
whether you believe i'll the modern
theory and speak of the cause of dis
eases as referable to germs, microbes
or bacilli, or whether you use the old
er and better understood terms of
" humors" and blood diseases -
Hoods Sarsaparilla cures them all
JUST THE SAME. 1t cures those
eruptions, boils and pimples which are
so likely to appear in the Spring;
cures scrofula diseases in their most
tenacious forms cures salt rheum or
eczema and relieves the itching and
burning; adapts itself equally well
to, and also cures, dyspepsia and all
stomach troubles due to generally
weak condition and thin, anemic
blood; cures nervous troubles, which,
in nine cases out of ten, exist because
the impure blood cannot supply prop
er nerve food; cures debility and
that tired feeling, which just as surely
indicate that the blood is lacking in
vitality and the elements of health.
This is not merely modern theory but
it is solid, up-to-date fact. Hoods
Sarsaparilla has had such remarkable
success along these lines that it is not
too much to say it is the best Spring

MONEY WENT TO WRONG FUND.
WAS USED TO PAY TEACHERS IN
STEAD OF INTEREST.

Was Done by One of Treasurer
speer's Predecessors-It Was the
Fund From the Sale of ol<eefeno-
kee swamp and the Old Capitol.
Treasurer Speer Threatened to
Take II Out of the school Fund,
But That Was Avoided.
Atlanta, March 2S.-In arranging the
affairs of his Office to turn them over to
his successor, Treasurer w. ]. Speer
found that the funds arising from the
sale of the Okeefenokee swamp and the
old Capitol building. amounting TO about
S231, 900, had been credited TO the general
fund, when under the constitution they
should have been applied to the bonded
debt of the state.
This was done by some one of Treas
urer Speer's predecessors, and it went
into the general fund and was paid out
to the school fund and never paid back,
as Gov Gambler says.
The Governor, in discussing this con-
stitutional provision, says that later the
Legislature provided that funds for the
general fund might be loaned to the ed
vocational fund to pay the teachers. When
the sale of the old Capitol and the Okee-
fenokee swamp was made. the fund was
not credited to the bonded fund, but to
the general fund and was loaned to the
educational fund and never paid back
Treasurer Speer has on hand about
100000 of the general fund which the
Governor intended to use in paying teach
ers. He has already paid $1,00O,0o for ar
rearage salaries for last year out OF this
wears fund, leaving him only $500 go.
Treasurer Speer threatened to take $751;
600 from this fund and restore it to the
bonded funds where it properly belong
ed The Governor demurred, and Attorney
General Terrell was called in and found
a happy solution. He says that the pub
lie interest is a part of the public debt,
and as this is not due till July and jan
uary, the Governor can use the general
fund now in the treasury to pay the
teachers and the amount can be paid back
from the direct tax in order to pay the
interest on the bonded debt The Cover
nor says this is but another way of whip
ping the devil around the stump.
