on the jury The court gave judgment
against the state of the amount men
toned and the governor was asked to
pay It.
The clerk of the supreme court OF the
United States Is not authorized to issue
any process against the state, and there
is no way to get the money unless the
governor should see fit to pay It out OF
the extraordinary fund. This he will very
likely not do. and it looks like Rogers
will have to pay the high tribunal Of
hcers or they will be out
Governors Birthday.
Acting Governor Cunningham was 40
years old yesterday and received congrat-
ulations from a large number Of friends.
The month of August seems to contain
the governors luck stone. He was born
in that month and received his medical
certificate In the same; was admitted TO
practice in August and married in Au-
gust In the same month his son was
born. He was elected to both houses of
the state legislature in August, and was
nominated for lieutenant governor on his
birthday. Talking to some friends about
the popularity the governor remarked
that he must be a very august man, and
the crowd being good humored he was
forgiven the little joke
Pickens' Sheriff.
Thomas L. Lipsey has been appointed
coroner of Pickens county and thereby
possibly hangs a tale 1t Is rumored that
there is dissatisfaction with the sherim
down there and that he is likely to either
resign or fail to qualify for his extended
term before September TO- which will
vacate his office If he does. 1t Is thought
that the citizens asked for a coroner for
the reason that the incumbent of that
office is the only man in a county who
can take the place of the sheriff If that
officer either drops out or is necessary
to designate some one to do his work.
There has been no coroner in Piekens
county in many years.

The governor has offered a reward OF
$3.50 for the arrest and conviction of the
murderer or murderers of John w Jones,
who was shot to death with his own gun
near Headland, Ala. on April 20, last. The
murder was evidently for the purpose of
robbery as the dead man had $50 when
seen last. His father-in-law has offered
a reward of 5000 and the solicitor thinks
that with the additional help from the
state he will be able to secure the APP
prehension of the guilty person or per-
sons.
