TRANSACTING REGULAR ROU-
TINE BUSINESS FOR THE
MONTH.
SCHOOL BOARD AT WORK TOO
Meeting Attended by Full Board and
the Usual Business Attended to

The County Commissioners are in
session today transacting( the usual
routine of the business for the coun-
ty. Bills of various amounts and
for various things are being paid by
the commissioners. Probably the
most interesting of the bills present
ed at this session was one for the
furnishing of proof to convict per-
son for selling liquor contrary to law.
The last legislature made it statu-
tory that any person furnishing suf-
ficient proof fr the conviction of
person for violating the local option
laws of the state, would receive as
reward for his services the sum OF
fifty dollars. The commissioners,
however, are glad to meet a bin of
this kind, for it means more than
that amount turned into the fine and
forfeiture fund by the hire of the
convict for the term of one year to
which he was sentenced, and too, be-
cause the reward will prove to be a
great assistance to the officers in en-
forcing the law and rounding up
blind tigers.
The County School Board is also
in session today and the regular
business of the month is being con-
sidered. The reports of the teachers
from schools now open, etc, are the
principal matters for attention.

though in my Judgment it will be
found they will increase receipts,
then the railroads may rest assured
that the state will do what is right

litigation. which will result in no
good to them or the people, and let
us all await results until the next
meeting of the general assembly"
If some of our business men
would stop trying to persuade me to
violate the law passed by the legis-
lature," the governor added. which
under my oath it is my duty to main
tain. and which | have no right to
alter or appeal, and will turn their
persuasive powers and influences to-
ward inducing the railroads to obey
the law as passed. until it has had a
fair trial, they would be doing d
much greater service to their state. d"

BURNED TO 4 CRISP.
Shocking Death of a COlOred Woman
Near Gainesville.
Gainesville Sun, 31st.)


Information has just been receiv-
ed here of the horrible death of Bet
tie Robson, coIOred, fifty-fve years
of age. which occurred at the home
of her brother, Charles Simmons,
near Gordon, where she has been
making her home for the past few
years. The death was caused by the
woman's clothing becoming ignited.
and her body was burned to a crisp
before aid had ever reached her.
The woman, who was widow
with several children. was living with
her brother. Charles Simmons, a pro-
gressive colored farmer of that sec
ton. AS is the custom. Simmons,
with his children and the children Of
the victim, ate breakfast and went to
the field to work, leaving the woman
to attend to the household duties.
When one of the children left the
field to go to dinner he discovered the
woman dying in the yard burned ID
a crisp. one of her stockings still
smoking.
No particulars of this awful &C
cident could be learned. as there was
no one present when it occurred. The
woman, however, was subject to cpl
leptic frs, and it is supposed that in
some way her clothing became ignit-
ed, when she ran into the ward, be-
came excited, and fell into a fit be
fore she could cry for assistance.
The body was terribly charred
but the coroner did not deem it
necessary to hold an inquest after the
particulars had been learned.
The unfortunate woman was
buried Wednesday afternoon.
