ASKS FOR ACCOUNTING.
John ID. Gould Enters Suit Against
Gen. JacksOn's Estate.

Suit against Pope Barrow, executor Of
the estate of Gen. Henry r. Jackson,
wes filed in the Superior Court yester-
day by John d. Gould. Mr.. Gould wants
an accounting with the estate of Gen.
Jackson upon a transaction ne had with
Gen. Jackson or his general agent, ].
Lawton Whatley, some years ago.
1t is alleged in the petition of the plain
Tiff that in 1889, the plaintiff borrowed
from ]. Lawton Whatley. general agent
of Henry r. Jackson, the sum Of $3.50,
for the term OF one year. Payment of
the debt and interest was secured by
deed to secure debt upon a lot of land
and improvements on Thirty-second
street.
When the note became due, it is alleg-
ed further, the plaintiff was not in
position to pay it. Mr. Whatley informed
him that the deed to secure debt would
be foreclosed, and it was agreed, between
Messrs. Whatley and Gould, that when
the property was sold by the sheriff it
should be bought in by the former for
nominal amount, so that the expense of
interest and commissions might be re-
duced as much as possible.
Acting on this agreement, AYERS the
plaintiff. he induced all of those who at
tended the sale for the purpose of bid
ding not to bid, assuring them that 1t
would be to his advantage to have the
property bought in by Mr.. Whatley for
some small amount. At his request these
others RETAINED from bidding and the
property was bought in by Mr.. Whatley,
or by some one else acting for Gen. Jack
son, for $500.
Subsequent to the sale, the property
was sold by Gen. Jackson to w. G. Fripp
for $500. At the time of this latter
sale, it was agreed between Messrs. What
ley and Gould that, after final payment
by Mr.. Fripp, there should be an ac-
counting and that the original owner of
the premises should receive whatever bal
ance there was. after payment to Gen.
Jackson of principal interest, costs and
all other expenses incidental to the loan
and its collection in the courts by pro-
cess of law.
Notwithstanding this agreement, says
the petitioner he has never been able to
secure an accounting with the estate OF
Gen. Jackson, and this he now asks. He
wants the defendant required to show just
how much was realized from the transac-
ton, and, IL there is a balance remaining.
after the payment of principal, interest
and costs, he wants this balance paid to
him. Mr. Gould is represented by Messrs.
John S. Schley and w. P. Hardee.

WILL ARRIVE ON FRIDAY.
Vanderbilt Party Will Then Sail
without Delay.


The colored wharf laborers continued
their work of loading the Valiant. VIII
liam X. Vanderbnts yacht, with coal
yesterday, and a considerable addition to
the supply in her bunkers was received.
The rain held up and admitted of the
darkes going on with their work. Small
baskets are used in getting the coal from
the lighters into the Valiant, as no sort
of tackle for hosting is allowed because
of the care Mr.. Vanderbilt has exercised
in the effort to keep his vessel bright
clean and unblemished
The tug is still in waiting for the ar
rival of the Vanderbilt party. 1t is ex-
pected that they will get here on Friday
and that they will be driven directly from
the train to the wharf, where the tug
will be taken for the trip across the riv-
err 800 feet The distance is not great,
but it will cost Mr.. Vanderbilt a pretty
penny. as it is no small thing for a tow
boat company to be keeping a tug in con-
slant readiness for use.
No time will be lost after the arrival
of the party. AS soon as the owners flag
goes up on the Valiant, showing that he
is aboard, the vessel will be cast loose
and under her own steam, will make her
way down the Savannah river and to the
sea. She will cross for a cruise on the
Mediterranean.
No one is received aboard the Valiant,
though there are a great many in Sa-
vannah who would be glad If the con-
trary were the case. The vessel is a
beauty, and the curious have been TAX
ing advantageous points of view for an
inspection of her from the Savannah side
OF the river. Many. too, have crossed to
the Seaboard Air Line terminals for
sight of the vessel She was shaking out
her sails to dry them yesterday, as they
had become soaked by the rain of the
day before.

ANOTHER RUMMAGE SALE.
Was Decided on at a Meeting OF
WOman's Exchange Yesterday.

The Board of Managers of the Wo-
mans Exchange held its monthly meet
ing yesterday morning in the Guards Ar
mory. The attendance was small be-
cause of the fact that great many of
the members are confined to their homes
with the grip. 1t was decided to give n
series of teas for the benefit of the ex-
change and there will be special features
for the children who attend.
The rummage sale last year was a
success in every way and will be repeat
ed about the first of March. The ladies
earnestly request the public to make
donations of old books, clothing or other
articles for which they have no use. The
ladies ask that those persons desiring to
make donations will notify the exchange
by postal or telephone and a messenger
will be sent for the articles. The commit
tees for the year will be announced later

At the meeting of the County Commits
sioners yesterday morning, Mr. David
Wells was unanimously elected tax col
lector of the county for the ad interim
term. All the commissioners were pres
ent and Mr.. Wells received all the votes.
The meeting was quite unexciting and
undramatic. consuming only a short time
The applicants for appointment to the ad
interim term as tax collector were Mr..
Wells and Mr.. Lester Hubbell. on mo-
ton OF Mr.. Moore, the chairman was in
structed to cast the vote of the board for
Mr. Wells, which he did.
Nothing was done about calling an cleo
tion to fill the uneXpired terms of Judge
Ferrill and Mr.. MCGOWAN as ordinary and
tax collector 1.-THE notice of the appoint
ment of Mr. Wells by the commissioners
was sent to the Governor last night, and
II is expected that he will issue the COM
mission OF the new tax collector to-day.
If the commission is forwarded al once
and Mr. Wells prepares his bond. which
he will probably do, he will be INDICTED
into the office at the meeting of the Coun-
~ Commissioners held tomorrow after
noon.

the business OF the county will go along
just as well as with a tax collector elect
ed by the people The office Of ordinary
IS also filled aud no public Inconvenience
results from the postponement of the cleo
ton to iii that office, either. The COM
missioners feel as though they can safely
take their time about calling the cleo
