With the charge of Yagrancy written
opposite his name on the jail records
here Samuel Scott was pushed over the
hurdle and into the coop yesterday
where he may await an investigation
by the grand jury, not alone upon this,
but perhaps upon a more serious
charge.
Scott may be asked to explain how
his dollars have been coming so easily
recently.
And it is not altogether unlikely that
bunch of his alleged "clients" may
drop in during the session of the grand
jury to tell what they know about
Scott.
Quite recently any number of ante
bellum negroes living in the country
about Amerlcus have been victimized by
fraudulent negro agents who, for
fee of one dollar, would insure them
pension under the ex-slave act which
Senator Hanna suggested q short time
since.
That the fraud was successfully
worked here has been evidenced in the
large number of innocent and deluded
old negroes who have applied to Judge
Allen, of the court of ordinary, for
pensions.
These were sent in by the pension
fakirs to get their money.
And, in the meantime, the black
fraud had fitted to other fields and
was ill lining his jeans with other
dollars.
While such charge has not been
made specifically against the negro ar
rested here yesterday, he is strongly
suspected of being one of the pension
agents" working in this territory and
will be Investigated accordingly. If
such be the case the courts will make
it hot for Scott, sure.
TIE charge of vagrancy will hold
good until SCOTS history for month
or two past has been carefully
scrutinized.

The Stomach is tbe Man,

A weak stomach weakens the man,
because it cannot transform the food he
eats into nourishment. Health and
strength cannot be restored to any sick
man or weak woman without
first restoring health and strength to the
stomach. A weak stomach cannot di-
gest enough food to feed the tissues and
revive the tired and run down limbs and
organs of the body. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure cleanses, purifies, sweetens and
strengthens the glands and membranes
of the stomach, and cures Indigestion,
dyspepsia and all stomach troubles. w.

bank, charging him with embezzling
$4,000.
The first suspicion of shortage in
Sims accounts arose Saturday. Ex-

working on the books. and it was dis
closed that large sums had been alb
stracted at various times extending
back several years. The warrant was
then sworn out by the president OF
the bank Sims has been in the SER
vice of the bank for eight years, and
was regarded as one of the most re-
liable employees. He moved in the
most exclusive circles of Atlanta So
ciety, and was popular as young
man of fashion"
A portion of the defalcation is COW
cred by Sims bond, and he also owns
some property, which will be turned
over to the bank. Sims admitted
his guilt
