A PART OF HALTER
Lady Makes a Strange Request of

The medical fraternity has never pre-
scribed hangman's hemp as a cure for
fits. but an Americus lacy is a firm be-
lever IN the efficacy of this gruesome
remedy. Some time ago the Jail fiji .
cials here received a call from this lacy,
in search of wish of hemp, but there
was none on hand at the time, the rope
used in choking Mon Adams two years
ago being carried away as souvenirs
Yesterday morning, however, the lady
called at the sheriff's office and earn
estly II quested a part of the rope used
Friday In hanging John Graham and
George Broughtop, again stating that
she desired it as a cure for Fl s, worn
about the neck. Deputy Sheriff Gate"
wood gave her the identical strands
that went beneath the chins Of the ne~
gro murderers and the lady left the

wrapped in paper as balm for the

GIVES A DECISION IN
CASE OF OLD BANK,
Liability of the Stockholders
Settled
OPINION FROM SUPREME COURT
Bank of Americas Case Is Deter
mined Before That Tribunal-Hold.
ers of Stock at Time of Rec siver.
ship Alor Liable for Debt.

The Supreme Court of the State has
just rendered decIsi On in the case of
the defunct Bank of Americus, holding
that only those who held stock in the
broken bank at the time of suit against
the stock holders can now be held liable
for its indebtedness
This decision affirms that of Judge
Spence, who presided here in trial of
this important case year or two ago.
His decision was affirmed IN part and
reversed in part.
The part affirmed is that given ab We
relative to the liability If stockholders
at time of nit.
JGdge Spence decided, and his de-
cision is upheld by the Supreme Court,
that stockholders who had sold and
transferred their stock in the old bank
prior to the receivership, could not be
held liable for the debts of the defunct
institution.
And the Supreme Court, in affirming
that decision, affJrds relief to hundred DIS
of innocent people here.
Upon the other hand the Supreme
Court reversed Judge Spence upon the
point that the receiver for the old bank
could not bring suit upon the iudg-
ment previously secured by creditors,
holding that such judgment was prima
facie evidence Of indebtedness.
This referred to the suit brought by
said creditors against the receiver of
the old Bank of Americus.
Under this decision, the hundreds of
peopl who owned stock in the old
bank during the long gears preceding
its collapse are not liable for it's debts
under the liability clause" in the
banks charter, though they gave no
notice of sale of stock.
The ultimate liability Of stockhold-
ers, who at the time of the banks fail
ure in 1893 held stock therein, is not
yet fully determined.
The csse.is one of greatest interest
to hundreds of people in Americus and
Throughout the state.
Under the '1iability clause" in the
charter Ct the old Bank Of Amer1cus
all stock holders were made liable for
it's Indebtedness, unless at the time of
sale or transfer of stock public notice
of such sale was given by legal publ
cation.
Few knew of such requirement or
provision, and no transfers, or few,
were eyer published.
After the bank failed, northern cred
itors brought suit against all the stock
holders for the enormous debts of the
old bank.
Among these were included stock.
holders who ears and years before
the bank failed had sold their stock.
These stockholders are scattered over
Georgia and dozsn states, or dead.
But all were made detendents to this
great suit.
The decision of the Supreme Court
will thus tff1rd relief of all who did
nothold stock when the bank collapsed.

Should Convince Even the Most Skep-

If there is the slightest doubt in the
minds of any that Dandruff germs do not
exist, their belief is compelled by the
fact that a rabbit innoculated with the
germs became bald in six weeks time.
Tt must be apparent to any person
therefore that the only prevention Of
badness is the destruction of the germ
which act is successfully accomplished
in one hundred per cent of cases by
the application of Newbros Herpicide.
Dandruff is caused by the same germ

vented with the same remedy-Newbro's
