The Trouble at Center.

Center: Ever since the unfortunate
tragedy of last Saturday in which DR..
M. NJ. Paul met his death as result
of being shot with gun in the hands
of the negro Dick Garrett, kilograms
and telephones have been pouring in
from all parts of this section asking
for information concerning the terrible
affair. Day and night small squads
Of men have been gathering in the
city, discussing the affair. but so far
no demonstration of mob violence has
been made, from the fact that it has
been the request of DR.. Paul's brother.
W. A. Paul, that the negro be held for
a while, with the hope of incriminat-
ing others. There has constantly since
the time of the tragedy been a number
of men from the country around ready
to take part in any effort to take the
prisoner. Sheriff Booth has the pris-
oner well guarded with deputies In the
court house, besides the military COM
pany from Timpson.

To curse the gold that was hid from sight
To curse the fate that had led me on

An my soul with its Maker renewed its

What are the blessings thrown in my

Why should I bow on thankful knee

Roosevelt After erafters.

San FRANCISCO: The Chronicle says:
"a new investigation is progressing
in the course of developments in the
local graft scandal. 1t now appears
that many sums of money, large and
small, that were sent from different
States to San Francisco for the relief
of sufferers, never reached the relief
commission. Some of these amounts
which aggregated a large amount,
were mailed and about 1000 govern
ment agents have been making an
investigation. President Roosevelt is
the moving spirit behind the inquiry
and he declares that no man guilty OF
diverting the relief funds shall es.
cape justice.
