COUNTY JAIL FILLED
WITH CRAZY FOLK.

Modern Paul of Tarsus and Weep
ing Clara" Were fried Yesterday.
Two lunatics were tried and convict
ed at the county Jail yesterday. DIFF
fering from others who have recently
been tried, both deported themselves in
a quiet and orderly manner. and. far
from amusing the jurors with the usual
harangue, refused to be interviewed at
all on the question Of their sanity.
Richard CAN'T. the first to be sub
jected to the light of the judicial in
vestigation, suffered from mental dis
order born of religious fanatictsm.
Since his incarceration in the jail he
has been engaged in trying TO convert
the inmates. He saws that he was
struck by mighty light from heaven,
and voice told him to go out and
convert. He did not palm off a ser
mon to the lunacy commission. but
the evidence showed that this modern
Paul of Tarsus was all bad above the
ears, and 1T was agreed that brief
spell in the state sanitarium would
benefit MIN.
Clara Brunson. the other lunatic,
seemed to be suffering more from mel
ancholia suparinduced by disease than
from insanity itself. Her case was a
most pitiable one. She sat before the
jury a picture of misery, the tears
yelling in her eyes, as her frame shook
from the ravages of a dread disease.
The jury being Informed that she
would receive medical attention in the
state sanitarium, where her melan-
cholic condition could he treated, made
up their verdict accordingly.
The jail is we'll filled with lunatics
at this time, and Jailer Arnold Seyd9n
says that never before has there been
such varied assortment in the county
bastile at any one time.
We have 'em here now of all sorts =
he said. There's nearly dozen here
now. and the phase OF every disease is

WELL DRESSED YOUNG MAN
SPENT NIGHT IN JAIL.
His Prosecutor Refused to Allow
Him to Re Admitted TO Bail

Him to Re Admitted 10 Rail.
John n. Harrington, a young white
man about 80 years of age, well dress
ed and Of gentlemanly appearance, was
arrested yesterday by Chief Deputy
Sheriff Sweeny under a warrant from
Tattnau county. charging him with
larceny after trust Of sum somewhat
in excess of 800. The prosecutor, who
resides in Macon, refusing to accept
bond in this county, and there being
no train to Reidsville. in Tattnall coun-
~ last night, he remained in Jail, and
will be taken to Reidsville this morn
ing by Chief Sweeny.
The warrant was sworn out by r.
H. Plant, general agent for the New
York Life Insurance Company. Her
rington has been employed in Savan-
nah about a month. Neither he nor
his employees, the New Home Sewing
Machine Company. had any Fremont
ton of the arrest, and were taken COM
pletely by surprise. The officer waited
at the place of business until Herring
ton, who was engaged in business out
side, returned, and placed him under
arrest.
Harrington is charged with misap-
prOpriating premiums collected on
three life insurance policies one on
the life of A. H. Wells for $43 ~; an
other on the life of H. w Tippins for
$49.05 and a third for s36.03 on the life
of w A. j. Williams. the total amount
being S122 50. These amounts are al
legged to have been collected by Her
rngton as agent for Plant, while en-
gagged in the insurance business in
Tattnall county.
Harrington was very much mortified
at his arrest, and deeply deplores the
trouble into which he has gotten,
though he declares he will come out
Of it alright. When asked if he de-
sired to say anything in his own be-
half, he said.
There is no use of my saying any
thing they have given me about as
black an eye as they could, and moth
ing | could say would at this time bet
ter matters. l will come out of it al
right"
He employed MIR. w b. Stubs to
represent him. Mr. Stubs, in behalf
of his client, made the following state
ment:
Il have known the young man be-
fore. l never heard of his getting
into any trouble. He surely doesn't
look like a vicious or unprincipled man,
and from his statement of the facts
| believe he is innocent of any crime.
He acknowledges that he collected the
money, but says that he simply de-
Quoted the per cent. due him by the
company. Whether he was right in
proceeding in this manner will depend,
of course, on the terms of his contract
with the company, which | have not

ALDERMAN GRAYSON
OPPOSED REDUCING BOND.
Went on Record in Barker Case in
City Council.

City Council.
1 vote no for the reason that I am
absolutely opposed to the reduction of
a bond to five years, after a contract
has been awarded on specifications call
ing for a ten-year bond, as it is unfair
TO competition.
In this manner Alderman w. L.
Grayson last night opposed the adop-
ton of the report of the Finance Com
mittee, that it had accepted bond from
Frank Barker in the sum of IS 900 for
five years, with a security company as
surety, instead of the bond for two
years that had been given, and in lieu
of all personal bonds.
Mr. Barker was awarded a contract
for laying sidewalks in Collinsville,
and when bids Were advertised for, it
was specified that surety bond should
be given for two years, and personal
bond for eight years. Mr. Barker petit
toned that his understanding was that
a personal bond was his own guarantee
and asked to be relieved of the neces-
sity of furnishing two sureties for eight
years.
In my opinion surety company

lis far better than a surety company
bond for two years, and a personal
bond for eight years. Particularly is

A Question Of Sex.

A bright little Washington girl, four
years old, who is descendant of Co.
bright, the veteran journalist of dec
ade ago, shows decided ability to
think and decide for herself, quite up
to the standard of her brainy ancest-
or.
She was repeating her prayers at
bedtime recently, the Lords Prayer
first, and, as is her habit, winding up
with a petition for blessings on the
various members of the family of both
sexes. But this time, when she came
to the conclusion, she hesitated a mo-
ment, as new idea stuck her, and
then, in most devout tone, added:
amen and a-women!"
"Why, daughter, you must not say
that! What did you say *A-women'
for?" asked her mother, in surprise.
'Wen,' replied the young philoso-
pher, didn't pray for women as we'll
as men?"-Margaret Sullivan, in Lip.

year ago Mr.. Ayers was suffering from

less hope. To-day Mr.. Ayers is as
well as man could wish. He tells the
following story:
about year ago I was at West

without hope of ever being better,
when an old gentlemen from Bath,
N. Y, advised me to take Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, telling me they had cured
him Of the same disease.
II had tried so many remedies that
was past hoping and told him so,
but when he bought me a. box of
Dodd's Kidney Pills and coaxed me to
try them did so just to humor his
within.
THAT was the means of saving my
life. I took that box and half dozen
more. Thanks to that old man and
Dodd's Kidney Pills, am cured"
