KILLED BY POISON.
A Beautiful Girl Bride Charged With
Husbands Murder.

ASpecial dispatch from Gainesville,
Ga, says John w. Tanner, father of
Wiley +. Tanner, who died under sus-
picious circumstances at his home I'm
Clinchem district, this county, Satur-
day May 23rd, Tuesday afternoon
swore out a warrant against Mrs. Onie
Tanner, wife OF the young man who
died, charging her with murder
The warrant was turned over to
Sheriff Nj. O. Gilmer of Hall county at
6 o'clock Tuesday Afternoon and he
Immediately left for the home Of |.
Frank Duncan, father OF the young
woman, where she is staying, to make
the arrest and bring her back to
Gainesville to be incarcerated in the
Hall county Jail.
The state chemist Tuesday morn
ing, forwarded the result OF his inves-
LEGATIONS to DIR. J. Z. Maudlin, of
Flowery Branch, who Immediately
communicated the same to John w.
Tanner at his home near Chestnut
mountain. Tanner at once hitched
up his team and came to Gainesville,
where the warrant was sworn out at
, O'Clock.
The chemists analysis showed
nine-tenths of grain of Strychniue IN
the stomach and glass from which the
milk was drunk. This was sufficient
to satisfy Tanner and he at once pro-
ceeded TO swear out a warrant charg-
Ing his daughterin-law with murder.
Tie sheriff will likely reach Gaines
willie early in the morning hours to-
morrow with the fair prisoner, who
will, in all probability, occupy cell in
the county Jail until the term of Hall
superior court, which conveneS the
third Monday in July. The case is .c:il
OF the most sensational ever occurring
in this county and has caused great in
tereSt.
Saturday May 23rd. Tanner sat
down to his MONDAY meal. apparently
in the best of health, and in the en-
joyment of contented home with his
bride OF two months. She had already
partaken of her meal when he arrived
but, like the happy wife she was sup
posed to lie, she sat down by her huS-
band and talked pleasantly to him.
The meal had only proceeded short
time, when Tanner turned to his wife
and remarked that there must be
something the matter with the but
termilk at the same time asking her
TO taste it, which she did. She Spat
out what she drank without swallow
ing any and Tanner poured the re-
mainder in Slop tub, which was
afterwards given some hogs, which,
after drinking the milk, died.
In few moments he was deathly
sick and, screaming to his wife that
he was poisoned, Tanner ran to the
home of his uncle, Henry Tanner a
short distance away, crying to him
that he was deathly sick. His uncle
ran towards him and caught him in
his arms us he was about to sink to
the earth. TO his uncle, John Tan
ner repeated what he said to his wife.
that he had been poisoned. All was
done for him that his people knew,
but in forty-tive minutes life was ex-
tinct, his body assuming rigidjty
that usually attends the administra-
tion OF Strychnine or similar poison.

houses and forty lives lost here, and
the beautiful mill is badly wrecked
and the magnificent store with it's

seven bodies have been recovered. 1t

but the operatives were disposed to
laugh at the situation. They did not
dream of its seriousness. They stood
10y their looms and Spindles and the
little children iloated their boxes in
the water and padded around as
thought it were Il holiday. When
the seriousness dawned and the order
came to leave the mill, many had to
be driven out by force. Clifton No. ,
is totally wrecked in one end and
.l,n
are bodies not yet recovered in the
debris. The UdorS late Wednesday
afternoon clearly indicated the pre-
Scnce of human bodies buried beneath
the rubbish.

USE YOUR DEEP WELL FOR DRAIN.
AGE

We are under the impression
that the biggest mistake the rice
planter of this section as we'll as
other sections, is making, is in
sinking his deep well on the high
est place in his field Why not
sink Your well III the lowest de-
preston Of the field SO that II can
be used for drainage a> well lis for
irrigation purposeS' Some may
argue that it would be a dlfficn!'
matter to water rice. if the wells
were so located. We fail to see
those difficulties as it would be very
easy to build small laterals lead
ing from the well all over the
field, through which the water
could be conveyed to the highest
point in the field, aud after flood
lag season when you wish 10 gel
the water off your rice, all ynn
would have to do would be to dis
connect your pump and pnt a
strainer on the top of your we'll, to
prevent trash from going into the
we'll. If the we'll flows you can
reverse your pump, connecting
the discharge of the pump to the
well aud have a deep pitinto which
the water would drain, where Of
course the suction of the pump
would be placed, then start your
pump. Of course the water could
hardly be pumped back into the
well as fast as it was pumped ont ;
but at the same time it would be
astonishing to see how rapidly you
would drain your field. We have
not heard Of this scheme being
tried in the Rice Belt, and if it has,
| would be pleased to hear from the
party on the subject Gueyddn

WHERE THE RESPONSIBILITY RESTS.

In the final analysis the respons
Utility for our schools rests on the
people, on you and on me. 1t is
the duty Of every citizen to keep
himself informed on these ques-
tons and in touch with all move
ments for the betterment of our
social condition. We must look
to the character and abiIityof those
who make and administer our laws
and put intelligent and honest men
in official positions. Next to the
church of Christ, including it in
the Christian family, the school
house is the most important factor
in the enlargement Of intelligence,
the increase of virtue and the ele-
walton of our social status. We
owe it to God, to our country, to
our state, to our county, to our
friends, to the rising generation
aud TO generations yet unborn, to
do all in our power to promote aud
perfect this great agency for the
betternent of mankind You can

ABSENT MINDEDNESS.

A party of gentlemen speaking
on the subject of absent-mlnded-
ness, reminded the reporter OF a
case that happened right here in
Baton Rouge on last Saturday, that
surpasses anything Of the kind that
he ever heard Of.
It seems that young clerk in
one Of the large mercantile houses
in this city, went to the postoffice
on last Saturday about II o'clock,
to attend to some postal matters,
and after transacting his business
with the postmaster, returned to
the store afoot, forgetting that he
had driven there, and leaving the
horse and buggy standing in front
Of the government building. In
the evening about 6 o'clock, 1t be-
ing about the hour for putting up
the horses for the night, the ne
gro hostler inquired of the young
gentleman as to the whereabouts of
the horse and buggy he had been
using, and he received the state
ment that he hadn't used any
buggy. All at once it flashed to
his mind that he had gone to the
postoffice in the morning in a
buggy and possibly he might have
left it there.
Going down to the postof1ice he
found the faithful old horse stand
ing exactly where he had left him,
and took him to the store and put
him up for the night. If any one
can recount a worse case of alb
sent mindedness than this, let him
put us on. "We are from Mis-
souri,.
