A SENSATIONAL TRIAL.
Men Who FlOgged a Baptist
Preacher Acquitted.

BY far the most sensational case
ever tried in Telfair county was that
last week of the state against r. B..
Scarboro, w. T. Peacock and J. A.
Dorman, all of Cordele, charged with
having whipped Rev. ]. G. Collum, a
Baptist preather of Telfair county.
Collum is a married man with a wife
and one child.
In August the minister wrote let
ter to Scarboro's sister, in which he
told her of his love for her, and said
that If she would but speak the word
he would run away with her and leave
his wife and child; that he had loved
her since he first saw her, and that he
longed for the time when he could press
her to his bosom and call her his own.
The jury, believing the whipping
was not more than was deserved,
promptly returned a verdict of not
guilty.

A BIG LAWSUIT.
The Old Bank of Americas Fig-
ures in Court. StOckhoId-
ers Sued for $500, 900.

A lawsuit of the first magnitude has
been filed in Sumter superior court by
creditors of the old Bank of Apericus,
which collapsed ten years ago. Petit
toners bring suit through Thornton
Wheatley, formerly receiver for the
bank, and all stockholders, living and
dead, who ever owned stock in the
bank are named as defendants to tn is
suit.
The amount involved is nearly two
hundred thousand dollars, and the
suit is brought under the personal liza
bility clause in the banks charter,
which provides that the individual
property of the stockholders at the
time of suits shall be liable for the ul-
innate payment of the debts OF the
company, in proportion to the amount
of stock owned by each stakeholder.
There are several hundred defendants
named, and these reside in nearly ev-
cry city in Georgia and in the north
as well. Many large eastern banks,
which held stock in the old Bank of
Americas as collateral security, are
named as defendants in this suit.
Hundreds of people owned stock in
this bank since its esta blishment thir-
W years ago, and as more of these pub
lished notice of transfer of stock at
any time all may be parties to this liti-
cation.
