 STONE COUNTY.
Young Man Steals Cotton, Confesses and Refunds Money Obtained
 for tho StapIe-Prefers
 to Stay in Jail.
D Commerce St.

Athens, March 1.-(Special. IA few days ago Leonard Pitts, young planter of the northern part ot Limestone Coun- try, who had stood as high as any young man in the community, and by his own exerflons had accumulated a handso n e estate. was arrested. charged with steal ing four bales of cotton from a promi- nank resident of Pulaski, Tenn, and sell Ing the cotton in Athens.
 When confronted by the detectives who had arrested him, he confessed and told to whom he sold the cotton, local cot ton buyer who had sold it to the Athens cotton factory. He seemed deeply dis tresssd and could give no reason for having stolen the cotton, but at once gave check for the entire amount to the man who had bought it from him. and also paid the man who mad lost the cotton for all his trouble he had been at in tracing the cotton, and seemed deeply humtliated that he should have allowed himself to have been guilty of such a crime.
 few days later, the Pulaski man found that he had, prior to this lost a bale of cotton, and came to Athens and went to the iail and interviewed Pitts with a view of ascertaining if he could tell where this cotton had gone. Pitts at once admitted that he took the bale and gave check for 1t at the highest market price. He was arraigned and waived eX- animation and his bond was placed al $500 which he could easily make in cash but he does not seem inclined to leave his quarters, and 1t Is the general belief Of his friends that his mind is clouded
 It Is the most remarkable piece of crtminality that has ever beon known here. His relatives are well-to-dO and stand well.

Preparatory orders that had been sent to the 3rd infantry to prepare for service there will be revoked. Marines will continue to guard the interests of the United States on the isthmus.

Remarkable Will Case.

Chancery Court is in session.

It is now in the chancary court for con- struction, all opposition to the will hav- ing been abandoned
 This was a most remarkable case. Miss Walton was an eccentric character a very rich woman who belonged to one : of the most prominent families ir the County, and more than thirty years ago while at outs with her only brother, the late Major Woodrcof. she made a will in which she left most of her large estate. which continued to grow until the time
