A Fable,

Once on time farmer said to a
nei9hbor that he had some nice cider IN
the cellar and told John to "go down
and bring up mug of it." John did so,
whereupon the farmer drank it down,
and remarked, That is the best cider
ever made in this country, If you don't
believe it, just smell the mug" Alas !!
how many have and how many more
soon will "Smell the mug"

Evidence in the Case as to the Kill
ling of G.. w. Bennett.

ling of 6. w. bennett.
Douglas, Ga, Feb. 23.-Wednesday the
Superior Court was engaged in the trial OF
w. A. McRae, charged with the murder
of G. W. Bennett at Nichols, on Sept.
II last. The Court House was crowded.
No trial in the history of the county has
excited so much interest. The prominence
of the slayer and his victim and the large
kinship of their wives, together with the
able and influential counsel employed on
both sides, combine to increase the inter-
est in the trial.
Mr. McRae's yohng and beautiful wife,
bowed in grief, sits beside him during his
trying ordeal. The state had twelve wit
nesses sworn. The defense has six, but
introduced none, relying on what was
brought out by the sta ties witnesses and
the prisoners statement alone, which was
given in clear manner. He stated that
on The afternoon in question he was drink
ing to some extent. He went home, and
missing his gun from its accustomed
place, asked his wife for it, She finally
told him she was scared and hid it. He
told her to get it and set it in its place
near the bed. She eventually got it and
ran out of the house. He called to her
to come back. She kept on and he fol-
lowed her. At Mr.. Hinsons he was in
formed she was not there. but had gone
to Mrs Benefits (her cousin. He then
went there. halloaed al the gate, asked
Mr.. Bennett if his wife was there lie
answered no. He then asked Mr. Thomas.
Benefits clerk, If his wife was there: he
also answered no. Mr.. Bennett told him
to go off from there He didn't want any
shooting around there. While out of the
yard, he fired his rifle in the air and
walked into the yard onto the porch and
knocked on the hall door demanding his
wife, and was fired upon from the house
He then returned the fire and was fired
upon again. He retreated returning the
fire, which continued till he got to a horse
rack, where he fired his last shot He
then heard screaming. He had never met
Mr.. Bennett, had no i'll feelings against
him; neither had cause for any No one
could regret this lamentable affair more
than he.
The states evidence disclosed the fact
that Thomas, Benefits clerk. did shoot
az prisoner after prisoner shot, until he
had shot four rounds from a 32-calibre
pistol and was directed by deceased to
stop shooting Through the door and go to
a window, where he could see better. The
state showed that Mrs. AIcRae went to
Benefits house after the family had re-
tired she being barefooted bareheaded
with her dress torn, asking protection
from her husband, who, she said, would
kill her. She begged the Bennett family
to deny her being there.
Col. w. w. Mcdonald opened the argu-
ment for The defense in a speech of forty
minutes followed by Solicitor General
John w. Bennett, for the state, in a
speech of one hour and ten minutes. At
6 O'Clock court adjourned unth s O'Clock
Thursday morning, when Hon. Tom Wat
son opened for the prosecution.

COLLECTION OF BACK TAXES.
CONFERENCE HELD IN CONTRoLL-
Err GENERALS OFFICE.

Representatives of Corporations In
Crane and Tiedeman and County
Attorney saussy Were Present
From Savannah Arrangements
Being Made to Collect These Taxes
Under the Recent Decision of the
Supreme Court.
Atlanta. Feb. 23.-An important confer
enco of the county authorities of Chatham
Riehmond and Fulton with representatives
of the corporations subject TO the pack
tax was he'd in the Controller Generals
Office to-day.
Those present were Messrs. Horace
Crane and George W. Tiedeman, repre-
santing building and loan companies OF
Savannah; j. r. Saussy, county attorney
of Chatham; Judge w. f. Eve OF Rich
mond. L. Z. Rosser, county Attorney Of
Fulton; w. d. Ellis, attorney for two To-
cal building and loan associations; Attor-
ney General Terrell and Controller Cen
eral Wright.
The object of the conference was TO dis
cuss some manner of proceeding against
the corporations which are, under a recent
decision of the Supreme Court liable for
large amount of taxes on account of the
fact that returns have not been regularly
made 10 the tax receivers of the various
counties on the amount of stock and cap
ital of these various corporations.
The decision of the court was handed
down on Jan 26 in the case of the Georgia
State Building and Loan Association
against the Mayor aud Board of Alder
men of Savannah. The decision affects a
large number of corporations in the state,
among them are the insurance companies,
the building and loan associations, che tel
ephone, telegraph and the express com
panies which have not in the past been
giving in their returns on the amount Of
stock issued by the company as a corpor-
alton.
Controller Wright asked Attorney Cen
eral Terrell for an opinion as 40 the la
bility of these corporations, under the de-
cision as to back taxes, and he held that
they We're liable and pointed out the man
ner in which the taxes could be collected.
The instructions to tax collectors and
receivers are being prepared by Col
Wright, and will be given out tomorrow.

After he had left them they found that
there was stream about one hundred
yards wide between them and their in
tended destination, and also that the tide
was rising rapidly After consulting to-
getber, Mr.. Ellis, who was the younger
man of the two, volunteered TO swim over
and procure a boat TO rescue them from
their perilous plight. Removing his
clothes he started, and when within
twenty feet of the opposite bank Mr.

hands and sink to rise no more. The lat

WRECK ON PLANT SYSTEM.
Coal Car Left the Track-CIarence
Patterson's Injuries.

Valdosta, Ga, Feb. 23-There was a
wreck on the Plant System at Ousley last
night, two freight cars being demolished
and one or two more being thrown from
the track. The train left here al a little
after dark and was going west, drawn by
two big engines. 1t was running at a
rapid pace, when a coal car flew the
track, tearing up the rails for fifty or an
hundred yards. 1t is said that the wreck
was caused by too much of the load being
placed in one end of the car. The wreck
ing train, with a large force. repaired to
the scene at once and worked all night
in clearing up the wreck. Traffic was
suspended only an hour or so, as 1t hap
pened that the wreck occurred at a place
where there was a switch track, which
was used in transferring trains.
1t was learned to-day that the man who
was SO badly hurt at Stockton by a loose
belt in F'ry's mill was Mr.. Clarence Pat
terson, of this city, who is in business
there with Mr.. Fry. 1t was said that his
face and head were fearfully bruised and
cut up and that he suffered greatly until
a physician reached him several hours
later. 1t was also said that one of his
eyes was put out, but his many friends
here hope that the report is exaggerated.

Tallahassee, Fla, Feb. 23.-To-day's re-
ports from Hon. r. w. Ashmore, who was
yesterday assaulted and robbed in Wakul-
la county, are to the effect that he had
regained consciousness, and had given
detailed description of his assailants, who
were followed to within a few miles of
Tallahassee, when night came on and the
trail was lost There is yet hope of
ca tching the two negroes. Mr.. Ashmore
once represented his county in the Legis-
lature, and is a prominent citizen in his
section.
The municipal election passed off quietly
on Tuesday and the following Democratic
ticket was elected: r. b. German, Mayor;
