THE Milwaukee Sentinel of Saturday
morning the End day of May is
authority for the statement that we
have been eXonerated from the charge
of printing business card for
Andrew ZurfiUh, OF NekOOsa, the
reverse side of which contained a
verse that could be termed immoral
If the reader SO desired to have il.
This act on the part of our printing
office was made the basis of charge
for our removal as postmaster by those
who sought and desired the appoint
nlent of another person. The facts
in the case were enlarged upon and
misrenresented by our enemies. A
Z. S. POstOtfice Inspector was sent
here to report on the case and he
reported against us. 1t appears now
that our statement of the facts, cor
roborated by those in our printing
office who knew Of them, enlightened
the Hon. Henry G. Payne, postmaster
general. sufficiently, that he decided
that the Inspector was not warranted
in reporting to the department that
the facts as he found them warranted
our removal, but to the contrary
exonorateS Us from the charges con
ferrcd. In this, our friends all know
that the Postmaster General was fully
justified. We were guilty of no will
full OffenSe and therefore appreciate
the efforts put forth by our friends in
Grand Rapids in acquainting congress,
man Webster E. Brown and Post
master General Henry G. Payne with
the truth and facts in the case OF
course we are delighted with The
results, not because of the pOStoffict
or its emOlumentS, but when person
tryS 10 do the right thing at all times
that those in authority will stand by
and support the right wherever found
We desire to express our sincere
thanks to everyone who had a part ir
our defense and who believed US moi
guilty Of the offenSe charged. Il
re-appOinted we shall continue tC
serve the people of Grand Rapids as
postmaster to the best of our ability
as we have in the past.

Dear Sir: One coat of Devoe is
better than two of some mixed paints
The American House. at Tanners

WilUSe, had two coats of paint five
years ago; last spring had two more
coats of the same paint.
Owner was going to use Devoe but
got the other paint few cents less.
Right across the street, Charles
Haner painted one coat of Dey0e at
the same time-laSt spring.
The Haner house is the better job;

as gallon of another kind of paint
You can't afford to put on another
paint even if you have it given to you.

GILBERT DIDN'T ANSWER
when His Case Was Called in Court
at WaycrOss.

Waycross, Ga, Nov. lin Ware Su-
perior Court to-day, George F. Gilbert
failing to answer rule of nisi was
ordered, and his two bonds of $500
each were declared estreated. There
are two separate charges against Gill
bert for the robbery of freight cars on
the old Plant System, now the At
lantic Coast Line, yards in this city.
There were three charges, the first
having been tried last year, which re-
suited in his conviction, and for Whlch
he was sentenced to serve four years
in the penitentiary. The case was
carried up to the Supreme Court, where
the decision of the lower court was ar
f1rmed. The pardon board was then
appealed to, but they refused to inter-
fere with the courts decision. At the
spring term of court this year the at
torneys for the accused made mo-
ton to set aside this verdict of the
court on the grounds of irregularities
in the trial. The motion was overrul-
ed, and Gilbert was taken to the con-
Wet camps at Fargo to begin his four
years sentence. Later the pardon
board was again appealed to and asked
TO fine Gilbert as for a misdemeanor,
and upon this the commissioners acted
favorably to Gilbert, reducing the SEN
tence to a fine of 81 900, or twelve
months on the chaingang. The fine was
paid several weeks ago, and Gilbert
was released. and it is supposed that he
returned to Birmingham, where his
family has been residing since he got
into trouble.
Hon. A NJ Knight is on Gilbert's
bonds, but he is amply protected by
the cash deposited with him by Gill
bert.
This morning w. A. Howell was on
trial. Howell was arrested about the
same time that GilbeSA was, and is
also charged with the robbery of freight
cars in the Coast Line yards here.
Three separate cases were docketed
against him, but in the first trial last
spring he was acquitted, which left
two indictments. 1t is very doubtful
whether q verdict in the case will be
reached tO-night.

BIBB'S GRAND JURY
Is Busy Upon Routine and Alleged
Murder Cases.


Murder Cases.
Macon, Ga. Nov. 1.-THE grand jury
Is holding daily sessions and the COM
mittees created by the foreman are
giving close attention to the lines
assigned. The books of the county
officials and the various departments
of the county are being looked into
in order that condition and require
ments may be ascertained and inn
proved where defects are detected.
So far, according to statements of
persons about the Court House in
position to know, no true bills for
murder have been found. 1t is said,
upon reliable authority that the body
has given consideration to the death
of DR.. Howard, the veterinary surgeon
whose face was mashed in by Yif
Foster from which Howard died. The
difficulty between the two men and
the declarations of medical men who
attended the wounded man, and who
were at the inquest, all tend to in
dictate that Towards death was the
direct result of the blows given by
Foster. true bill depends upon one
of the witnesses, who has so far been
absent from the city
Foster is still at large, but has been
located by Sheriff Westcott, and is
now under close watch of officers with
whom the Bibb sheriff is now in
communication.

The Peacock-Averett Tragedy.

Cochran, Ga, Nov. 10.-Editor Morn
ing News: The report in your Sunday
paper of the tragedy at Rhine, Ga. in
which my brother, Manly w. Peacock.
was killed and II. q. Averett severely
wounded contains so many inaccura-
cies and misstatements, | ask that. in
justice to the boy who died fighting
DraVely in defense of his honor and
that of his family. you will allow me.
through your columns, to say to the
public generally, and to our friends.
especially, that the report is incorrect
in nearly its entirety.
For the sake of the woman involved
In the case, l will not give to the pub
lie full statement of the affair until
l have her permission. But l wish to
assure Manly's friends and those OF
the other members of our family that
he has acted in a manner which will
not lessen him in their estimation.
When the truth is known it will be
seen that he is not the villain that
went abroad wrecking the homes of his
friends, but that he yielded to strong
temptation such temptation that few
young men could resist
The account of the shooting is Who'll
ly untrue in every statement Peacock
and Averett had met to settle a dam
age suit; compromise had been agreed
upon, and Peacock had arisen presum-
ABLY 10 take the train home, when Az
erett used the language which caused
the tragedy. The language was such
that no honorable man could take. and
was promptly resented by Manly. What
happened after this is not known. There
was only one witness, and he was in
terested. True it is, that Manly was
struck on the pistol arm and shot from
the side, and not by Averett from the
'front.' as the two men we're standing
facing, and SO found after the shoot
ing. Three shots We're fired; there was
only one empty chamber in Manlv's
pistol. Who fred the other two shots
has not yet been determined.
The reporters sending in these ac-
counts, in their zeal to write something
very sensational have done Injustice
to man who is not here to present
his side of the case. All accounts are
from friends Of Averett, giving his YER
sion of the affair. l will say to all
who seek to injure Manly or revile
his name that in addition to my humble
self there are others who win defend
his honor even to death.
