IRWIN COUNTY LANDS.

An idea of the feeling in real
estate circles may be gained by
knowledge of some of the trans.
actions that are taking place.
Mr.. S. P. Troup has owned
several lots of land east of the
city for a number OF years. He
raver thought much about the
value of it until last year, when
Mr.. Mclaughlin, of Wray, made
a proposition to buy part, or all
OF it about one year ago.
Mr.. Troup offered him all
of the land, about 900 acres, at
$40 per acre, or 100000. Mr..
Mclaughlin took 400 acres, pay
ing 100000. A few weeks ago
Mr.. Mclaughlin concluded 10
take the balance of the land, and
offered 100000, or 100000
more than he could have bought
the land for one year ago, but
Mr.. Troup had advanced the
price to $12,00O.OO, which is real
ly cheap for the land, although
an immense advance over last
years price
1t seems it is just dawning on
the minds of the owners of ErN in
county dirt that they have the
most desirable farm lands in the
south.

tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel-
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DR.. Ki1mer's Swamp-ROOt, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and
sca1ding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take ard is

covery and book that tells all about it,

zzA SALES.

Germ what has been said in the
Irwin County Courier and the
Fitzgerald Citizen anent the tax
advertisements. We are as
much interested in the contro-
versy as any average Citizen
and realize that our position as
gazetteer makes it incum bent on
us to take position on the ques-
ton, although we have no dispo-
sition to become involved in the
imbroglio. We have some we'll
formed opinions, and one is that
the tax officers are honorable
men, and whatever mistakes they
have made have been made I'M
willingly and without intent to
defraud. Without intending to be
derelict IN any duty, they have
followed an old custom that has
grown out of an imperfect sys-
tenn, a system that has invited
fraud and led many tax payers
to shirk the important duty of
contributing an equal share of
taxes. We believe that if Messrs.
Dorminey and Hogan had been
left to themselves they would
have pursued a different course
and would, in all probability,
have avoided the ordinations and
determinations that have crept
into the controversy. The tax
officers have duty, and the tax
payers naturally expect a reason
able compliance with that duty.
The present incumbents are not
the first tax officers the county
has had, who have failed to COM
ply strictly with the rule that
would bring all unreturned prop
erty to light.
The writer has some lasting
impressions along this line. We
have scores of worthless tax titles
as result of lax administration
of the duties of the Office of tax
receiver and tax collector. A
condition that is encouraged by
what we believe to be inadequate
laws. To publish a long list of
tax sales, which includes hun
dreds of pieces of property, on
which the taxes have been paid,
is not only a matter of public con-
Germ and a damaging ADVERTISE
ment but a grave injustice to the
parties directly interested, and
indeed a hardship on the bidders
at the public sale. On the other
hand, it is entirely and manifest
ly wrong to allow one land owner
to escape taxation, while his
neighbor is required to pay taxes
of both. To avoid this, under
our present imperfect system,
requires great diligence on the
part of the tax officers, and it is
clearly their duty to Carefully
Investigate and take the neces-
sary actiort6 pat every acre of
land ID the county on the tax list.
n this connection we would like
g see list published, showing
Nery subdivision of land, by land
district, land lot and minor sub
vision, and opposite each when
paid or returned, the name of the
tax payer, or, if exempt, the
reason why; church, school,"
railroad," municipal" etc.
I'd the meantime, let the tax
officers do their duty. In closing
we want to say that we believe it
Is as much their duty to see that
no property is advertised on
which the taxes have been paid,
as it is to advertise the list at all.

1t seems that Bishops brother
and family had spent about all
the cash they could raise in at
tending the dying brother at
Cordele and bringing the re-
mains of the murdered man
home for burial.
The failure of the county com
missioners to offer a reward for
the arrest of the murderer, NAV
preclude the possibility of their
assuming this extraordinary ex-
pense. If not, we trust they
will see their way clear to REIN
burse those who have generously
contributed nearly $4,000 to
capture so dangerous a man as
the murderer of Bishop has
proven to be.
In addition to this expense, the
captors assumed great personal
risk, and it would be great mis-
take not to encourage the spirit
necessary to the capture of such
>riminals. If it is found that
the county commissioners can
not reimburse these amounts,
we shall be in favor of starting
a subscription list.

Who Shall Bear The Expense?

To capture negro like the
murderer, John Knapper, cam
not always be accomplished
without expense, and where no
reward is offered it works a
hardship on the persuing or ar
resting officers. The bailiffs
and sheriffs are not supposed to
be all rich, or even philantrophic,
although most of them are pat
riotic to marked degree. The
law provides a modest fee for
arrest which is a mere bagatel1e
as compared with the expense
often necessary to be encurred.
We have before us a list of
amounts paid out by several
citizens all made necessary to
capture the murderer of James
A. Bishop. The list amounts to
about $500 and is a positive
hardship on the men who paid it..

Washington, Feb. 27.---The case
against A. w. Machen, the Croft

given to the jury at II a. m. Up to S

7 After being out forty minutes the
jury sent for what Justice Pritchard
characterized as a remarkable and
most unusual request. They desired
the account book of George e. Lorenz,
the note for $25, COO and drafts, checks,
warrants and statements of each of
the defendants, as well as the prayers
and his charge. He called in counsel
and said that to comply with the re-
quest in its entirety would amount to
a retrial of the case in the jury. The
jury was sent for and Justice Pritchard
informed them he had decided, with
the consent of COUNSEL. to let them
have the note and account book of
I4orenz and such papers as bore on the
note transaction. He said it was not
customary to send evidence Ito the
juryroom, as the jury are presumed to
have heard the evidence and under
stood the same. If they were in doubt
about any part of 1t he said he would
