HAYES ONCE A RESIDENT HERE

Wife Slayer and Suicide Lived in
Sumter.
Americus people who read the details
of the recent horrible tragedy in AL
bany, wherein Howard G. Hayes killed
his wife and then shot out his own
brains, did not think at the moment
that there was an "Americus end"
to the terrible tragedy. Older Git
izens here have since recalled the
fact that the said Hayes formerly
resided in this county, IS did his father
before him, at one time, it is said, hay
ing been engaged in business IN one of
the smaller towns near Americus. His
crime was one of the most revolving
that ever occurred in the state and the
motive prompting it is still a deep
mystery here, so far as known.

GETTING a LIST OF VETERANS
And Widows of Soldiers of the Civil
War.


War.
For some time past Tex Receiver
Raiford hes been endeavoring to secure
a complete list of Confederate soldiers
and widows in Americus and Sumter
county, together with data concerning
the war service of the soldier or dead
husband. The data Is being collected
IN accordance with law passed by the
Georgia General Assembly last year
and approved Aug. %. 1905. The state
wants a complete and accurate list
of the Confederate soldiers and their
widows who were residing in Geor-
gia at the beginning of this year.
Although the law does not even
imply as much, the impression has pre-
vailed that the application of this act
means that the state is figuring upon
eventually pensioning all of the vet.
Grams of the war between the states,
and in cases where the soldier has

Retainer Was Retained.

Edward NJ Mason, superintendent
OF buildings for New Hampshire, tells
the following anecdote of Daniel
Webster: Cne day a man came to
Webster's office and consulted him In
regard to prospective lawsuit. At
the close of the conference he paid
the attorney a retainer of 500 to
look after the matter Upon returning
to his place of business he found that
his partner had already settled the
suit, obtaining the sum demanded
without an attorney. He thought $500
was altogether too much for an Office
fee, so he dispatched his clerk to look
after the matter. "Mr. Webster" said
the young man, my employer thinks
you should return a part of your re-
tainer. That case has been settled
young man." said the lawyer, you
20 back and tell your employer that
a retainer is something to be re-
tanned"
