SHERIFF CRITICISED
REPORTS ON OFFICIALS OF
 FRANKLIN COUNTY.
shrievalty ofics Not Managed Well By W. s. Wilson Who Owes $406, ,5o-other Offices in
 Good Condition.

Reports on the result of his investlga- tion of the books and accounts of of- ficlals of Franklin County were filed with the State Executive Department yester- day by George F. Sedberry, Assistant State Examiner of Puofio Accounts, and Sheriff Wilson is sharply criticised.
 Across the face of four of the reports is written Nothing due" These re- ports are on the books and accounts of Hon. R, J. Moody. Probate Judge, T. B. Hester, Tax Collector, B. F. Britnell. Clerk of the Circuit Court and T, H. Roberson, Superintendent of Educstion.
 Sheriff w. s. Wilson was found to be due the State S406.60 and Tax Assessor W. F. Jordan was found to be due 322,sS
 Examiner Sedberry declares that Sheriff Wilson has received money unIawfulIy and that he Is subject to indictment.
 ''I flnd,'' says the Examiner "that Sheriff Wilson has been very careless in keeping proper records of the business ifl this county. It appears that Sheriff Wilson has not made any effort t6 com ply with Section 4949 of the Code which requires him to file In regular order and safely preserve the procesS or order by which any person is committed to jail or discharged Therefore neither has he complied with Section 5Ils of the Code as to making record of all the jail board bills paid him by the State for feedr ing prisoners while in jail. Having failed to make any record whatever of the bills paid him during the year 1903, he was not entitled to receive the amount of money 90 paid him, Therefore he Is subject to indictment under Section 5l14 of the Code for unlawfuily receiving pay for feeding prisoners.'
 The Examiner adds that the only ex- euse offered by MT. Wilson for failure to comply with the law was his ignorance of the statute.

AN APPEAL.

Mrs. Henderson Sends the folloWlne appeal for the Y. W. c. A.:
 I have borrowed from Rev. Neal L. Anderson's text and thought of Sun day. given in Mondays Advertiser words to express a desire of my heart through your columns to the mothers and young ladies of our city. "Who is on the Lords side, who is enlisted for service. a service that is willing to make a. sacrifce?"
 It may be but the sacrifice of an evenings pleasure, the cost of the- ater ticket or the expense of one en- tertainment. For such sacrifice on your part as Individuals many dollars could be added to the Y. M. c. 4. build much pleasure to you as the conscious ness of being able to put something of yourself into this work. Let the re- deemed of the Lord say so." Let not indifference or coolness dominate the soul" Speak for Christ and humanity by sending to Mrs. c. w. Barnett, 409 S. Hull street, any amount you desire to give to this building. She will ac- knowledge the same.
 want twenty-five young ladies to head that many bands to work for this building. Who will be the first to send her name to Mrs. Barnett? want every child in Montgomery to have a brick in this building. Mothers tell the children about this and ask them to let Mrs. Barnett know how many bricks they will pay for by sacrifice of candy and gum. "A little child shall lead them" How I would rejoice with certainty of success if l. knew that in every home there was little child working for Christ How I have long ed to talk to every woman in this city about this work, but as that is a phys ical impossibility take this means of reaching you. @N@ e
 For fifty years this city has enjoy ed Gods blessings. Let us give an ex- pression of our gratitude in this build ing that will be a blessing for more than fifty years to come. This work requires haste and I beg you to give 1t your immediate attention. The off ferings are asked for that we may reach the twenty-five thousand dollars that we will have to raise before we can claim the liberal contribution giv. en by MT. Peabody through the Y. w. c. A. l am sure your interest in the young men who are homeless and the strangers who are constantly coming to our city will decide you to-day to do service in this work. service that will express itself In sacrifce'
