DIsAPPEARANCE OF wARNELL.
Missing Cashiers Relatives Have
Almost Given Him Up.

Triton. Ga, Feb. 1.-The mystery of the
year is the disappearance of Mr.. Walter
L. Warnel, the young cashier of the
Bank of Adel, on Jan. II, last.
A young man of exceptional good char
acter and marked business ability, with
Inc confidence of his patrons and the en-
tire public, he arose from his bed at an
early hour of the morning and since then
no friendly eye has met his. His disap,
pearance is as complete as if the earth
had opened and swallowed him. and the
search of his relatives and friends has
proved unavailing to even disclose a clue
as to which way he went except the
slight one, tracing him to Macon, with
which readers of the Morning News are
familiar.
A most thorough Investigation proves
mis- books all correct, and the disappear
ance of the young man causes a feeling
OF sadness all through the community. His
Borrowing relatives, after hoping against
hope, have almost given him up for lost.

LOTS FOR SALE.

There is just one tract of land in the
city north of Anderson and west of East
Broad streets, which has not already been
divided into lots and built on. This is
the Gamewell tract extending from Gwin-
nett street lane 10 Anderson. They are
now offered in blocks of eight, or sixteen
on very reasonable terms, namely 10 per
cent. cash, balance in nine annual pay
ments, bearing the low rate of interest of
per cent per annum.
These are not suburban lots. They are
right in the city, and yet we are Offering
them as low as lots will sell for on Ninth
or Tenth street.
They are on Bolton, Waldburg, New
Houston, Duffy, Henry and Anderson
streets.
No such opportunity has ever before
been offered to young men who want to
buy block of lots for future profit, or
families who want to build three or four
houses together. IL you only want one or
two of these lots that can be arranged.
but it would pay you to get somebody to
go in with you and buy a block.

FATHERS MIND UNBALANCED.
After Beating His Child He Took Him
on n Long Tramp.

Fort Valley, Ga. Feb 2.-Mr Julian
Flint, a highly respected citizen of the
county who lives about two miles from
this place, beat his 6-year-old child I'M
mercifully Tuesday night about midnight,
and after the severe chastisement forced
the little fellow to tramp four miles
through the sleet and freezinz wind.
He was laborng under a halucination,
and in reply to his mothers expostulations
assured her that he was distinctly direct-
ed of the Lord TO beat the child
Mr.. Flint is prosperous farmer, form
erlyy living in Macon, and more recently
a resident of Texas. where he joined the
Seventh Day Adventists, and took pecu-
liar interest in religious matters. He re-
turned to this county some two months
aso and his mind has been evidently seCi-
ously out of balance. He has sent IRA
tional messages and notes to several par
ties here, and his actions have been de
cidedly queer.
Last night his mother. who lives with
him was aroused by the screams of the
children and found her son severely beat
ing his little child She pleaded with him
in vain and went for assistance from the
neighbors and while she was away he
took the child into the nearby woods and
wandered for several miles through the
falling sleet and biting wind. A neighbOr
found the wanderers and took the stuff er-
ing child away from the deranged father
He could give no satisfactory report of his
conduct. Hearing that his sanity would
probably be tested to-day Flint boarded
the train this morning for Macon.

Improved Mail Service.

Triton, Ga, Feb. 2.-Beginning with Feb.
/. the government put on a daily mail
service between Triton and Moultre, over
the Triton and Moultrie Railway. the line
recently completed by the Pinopolis Com
pany. The postoffices supplied by the new
route are as follows Log. Aba. Sinclair,
Moutrie, Pinopods and Baylow, daily and
Silas on Mondays and Thursdays. Their
are other points along the line of road
which have applied for postofiices and
these will doubtless be supplied soon.
-Four of the above offices nave only had
a tri-weekly service heretofore. and the
putting in Of q double daily mail will add
great deal to their convenience As
the Triton and Moultrie is now running
four trains daily. doubtless a service will
soon be nut on all of them.

Mrs. Browns Two Daughters Have
the Snne HuSb hand.

Columbia, S c.. Feb. Mrs. Missouri
Brown of Woodford. S. c., finds the matri-
monial relations Of her two daughters so
complicated that she has written Gov.
insolvency for assistance. Two daugh-
tiers, it seems, after an interval of ten
years, married the same man, who in the
meantime had married a girl in North
Carolina. Mrs Brown asks the Governor
what she must do. In 1889 Charlie Fur
tick married her eldest daughter, Illinois.
They were both very young and after llv-
ing together for year, separated. He
then went to Bristow, ". c., and married
a Miss Huskind.
Last year under the name of w. w.
Furtck ana much changed in appearance,
Mrs. Brown says her son-in-laW returned
to the neghborhood Of Woodford She d
not know him and he paid court to her
youngest daughter, Francis, the apple of
her eye. Mrs Furtick No. l was then
| living in the country about twelve mics
away, ana did not have an opportunity
of seeing her husband. Francis was only
child when Furtick married her sister,
and had no recollection of him, but she
was fascinated with this man who now
Visited her, and on Oct, 2S st,they walked
out to the home OF preacher and were
married. 1t was some weeks before Mrs.
Brown had her suspicious aroused, and
then only because of information that
reached her about wife No. ,, in North
Carolina. She opened communication with
the father of Miss Huskind and then call
cd the eldest daughter and first wife into
consultation, and they went to the sheriff
and swore out a warrant for Furtick's
arrest, on the charge of bigamy But the
fellow was informed by some one of the
danger, and when the sheriff arrived he
had disappeared.
Mrs. Brown asked the Governor to offer
a reward of $3.50 for the arrest of Furtick,
and expresses the opinion that the law
should not allow such men to he marrying
so many times with all their wives living

PEGLEG WAS ORDERED BACK.
GOES AGAIN INTO CUSTODY OF
SHERIFF. OF MORGAN.

Judge Newman Saw No Extrnordi-

states Court should Act-It Was
Claimed That Williams Life
would he in Dnnger-Stnte Author
sites Can Protect Him-Auanta's
Effort TO Get a National Military
Park.
Atlanta. Feb Judge Newman this
morning remanded "Peg-Leg" Williams,
the emigrant agent, back to the sheriff Of
Morgan county, deciding that the case
did not in his opinion, show the extra
ordinary reasons" contemplated by the
rule laid down by the Supreme Court of
the United States in reference to the in
reference of federal courts in habeas cor
pus cases coming up from state courts.
Attorney Dawson of Greene county stat
ed Williams life would be in danger
should he be sent back to Morgan county.
He said few days ago a mob in Nor
gan had gathered that Mr.. Williams life
was in peril. and that it was with difficulty
chat the emigrant agent had been eXtri-
Gated from his dangerous position.
Solicitor Butler of the County Court of
Morgan admitted that on the nth of this
month there had been mutterings against
Mr. Williams by a bad element in Nor
gan, but stated that the feeling against
the emigrant agent had died out; that be
believed at this time Mr. Williams could
walk the streets of Madison in the Gus
tody of officers without even inuendos or
insults being hurled at him, much less
personal harm being attempted
Mr.. Dawson insisted strongly that
should Mr. Williams be sent back to Mad
ison he would be in peril. That was his
firm belief and he offered to submit afti-
davits going to show that such fears were
not groundless.
Judge Newman stated that the Cover
Bor and the state authorities he felt GER
tain, would accord to Williams ample
protection
AtIanta's Military Park.
Mayor Woodward and the committee of
Atltnta citizens who went to Washington
to urge the appropriation for the Atlanta
national park before the Committee on
Military Affairs of the House and Senate,
returned to the city this morning The
Mayor says there is hope for the appro-
priation this year. He also expressed
some fear that there will be an influence
brought 10 bear on the measure from the
minstration, which is openly opposed to
appropriations, except those of absolute
necessity This being an election year, and,
as usual, one of economical character as
far as possible to the administration. He
says there is strong influence a work
for the bill from Gems. Howard, who com
manded a corps in Serman's army, and
Stewart who commanded a corps in
Johnstons army. This will be of vast
benefit to the movement.
Fredericksburg Va. is also after a ma
tional park and it may be that the com
mittee will not favor the idea of two APP
propriatio ions this year. The committee
has accepted an invitation to visit the
ground selected for the Virginia park.
The Atlanta committee only asked for
enough money to pay for the land pro-
posed for the park, amounting to $4,000.

DISPOSITION OF CONVICTs.
a Question Engaging the Attention
of the Carolina LegisInture.

4 Question Engaging the Attention
of the Carolina Legislature.
Columbia, s c., Feb. 2-The disposition
of convicts is again receiving the atten-
ton of the South Carolina Legislature.
Years ago after a bitter fight the system
of leasing them to railroad contractors and
phosphate miners was abolished. The
state purchased several large plantations
and has been raising cotton on an extern
sive scale, but with Indifferent success
Convicts not used on these plantations and
in the hosiery mills in the penitentiary
buildings are leased to farmers. There
is such general demand from all sections
of the state for better roads that much
consideration is being given to various
propositions looking to the state under
taking the work of reconstrucung her
main thoroughfares with convict labor
Within the last few years several coun-
ties have awaited themselves of new
constitutional provision, and utilized short
term convicts on county chain-gangs to
the great betterment of the roads.
There are now two bills pending in the
Legislature bearing on this subject. One
provides for the sale of the state farms,
and the other for the leasing state con-
victs TO the counties at 81 per month each,
the counties bearing the expense of guards,
food and clothing. This bill also prohib
its convicts being leased to individuals.
1t has been found that the prisoners en-
ployed on the plantations and other out
door work are more healthy than those
kept in the prison walls, where The NOR
tality is heavy The Penitentiary Commit
Tee recommends the appropriation of $1O,-
600 to heat the main building. There We're
sixteen deaths from consumption in this
building during the past year, and eight
from spinal meningitis. The cells, with no
doors, but iron gratings, open on cor
ridor extending the length of the granite
building, the ends of the corridor being
