TREASURY
FULL OF MONEY

The state treasury is bulging with
money. The stateemnt Of business up to.
and including yesterday, showed. to he
accurate, 81, Ola, 281. 80 in the strong boxes,
well guarded in the So banking deposito-
ries in various parts Of Georgia And the
income for the present, exceeds the out
put, but, alasl this is not for long.
The pensioners will be paid in q lump
sum- and the payment will be made on
or about February LIST. All OF them will
be paid, too, paid in full, and none will
be called upon to wait for the incoming
administration to get the money, nor is
it probable that Governor Smith will have
to borrow to make the payment.
$05O,OOO is Needed
Pension Commissioner Lindsay has no.
titled Treasurer Park that, in all, $3.50, 900
will be required to make the payment, SO
that it is fortunate that the treasury now
has on hand over one million dollars.
Indeed, the treasurer thinks it proba-
BILE that the state will have two million
dollars in hand by February LIST, In which
event half a million dollars may also be
paid by the governor to the school teach
ers.
Attorney General Must Decide
Attorney General Hart may be called
upon to decide the direction that the
money derived from the hire OF convicts
for the present and past quarter is to
take. The total amount for the two quar-
tiers is approximately $4,000. The legisla-
ture, by direct appropriation, provided
that $4,000 should be used for the sup
port of the penitentiary department, the
balance to go to the schools and roads.
The treasurer is not clear as to whether
the total appropriation Of $4,000 to the
penitentiary department shall be taken
from the hire to the first OF April or
whether the department shall receive only
its proportionate part. inasmuch as the
system will change on April LIST.
TREASURER PARKS TALKS
ON STATES FINANCES
Captain Robert e. Park, state treas
urer and bank examiner, recently con-
tributed an interesting article to one Of
the leading financial journals of the
United States, dealing with the growth
and prosperity of Georgia in recent years.
The article details many interesting and
pleasing facts relative to the develop
ment of the state, as indicated by the
continued growth of the banking facilities
within her borders.
Ocular demonstration and stern Stats
tics both show that no other section OF
the United States is exhibiting more sig
nificant progress at the present time than
the south, and no portion of the south
is more prosperous than Georgia." says
Captain Park.
1.-THE south has come at last to be re-
cognized as a financial and industrial
power. The growth in banking in Geor-
gia has continued apace during 1908, and
has grown from AS state banks in active
operation January 1, 1908, to $50 state
banks in January L 1sos. This number

COBALT, Ont, July 3-Prompt measures
have been taken for the relief Of the L.0OC

swept the northern part OF the town yester-
day. One hundred tents and 800 blankets
furnished by the provincial government,

half a mile.
Dynamite was resorted to TO check the
flames. IN unidentified foreigner, who
rushed into a building Just as a charge
went off, was killed.
With the assistance of apparatus from
HaiEeybury and New Liskold the fire was

Riders Case
is Reversed by =.
Supreme Court
Eight Convicted Defendants, Six Sem
fenced to Death, Are Granted
New Trials.

JACKSON, Tenn, July 3.-The case Of
the eight night riders, six of whom were
under the death sentence, charged with
the murder Of Captain Quentin Rankin, at
Walnu Log, on Reelfoot lake, October 70
last, were reversed by the supreme court
today and were remanded for new trials.
The six men who were under the death
sentence are Garrett Johnson. alleged
leader OF the night rider organization in
Gibson county; Arthur Clair, Fred Plncon.
Sam Applewhite, It'd Burton and Roy Ran
some. The other two, Bud Morris and Bob
Huffman, were convicted Of murder in the
second degree. The opinion in the case
was delivered by Special Justice Henry A.
Craft of Memphis.
In reversing the case, the court assigned
two principal reasons. The first was that
tho grand jury. which found the indict-
ments against the alleged night riders, was
not selected In a proper manner. The grand
jury was selected out OF a panel named
by Judge j. E. Jones, the trial Judge,
whereas the law provides the panel should
be chosen by at least three members of
the county court. The state did not allow
the defendants a sufficient number OF
challenges.
When Justice Craft concluded his opln-
ion, a storm of applause broke out in the
court room, but vas quickly stilled by
the marshal and his deputies. Tho pris-
oners will be taken back to Union City ana
an effort will be mad to obtain their re-
lease on bail.

Gingles Girl

Makes Charge
Against Employer

Her Astray-Almost Breaks

CHICAGO, July 81 want you for a
man in French Lick Springs. He will Civ

Ella Gingles, the .1s-year-old Irish lace
maker. testified In Judge BrentAno's court
here today that the above remark was
made to her by Miss Agnes Barrette, pro-
prietress OF a lace store in the wellington
hotel at the time the Gingles girl was
found gagged and bound in the bath room
OF the hotel, January 8,
"I was taken to a room by Miss Bar

speaking of a visit prior to the binding
and gagging incident. Later a man came
into the room and 1 cannot tell what else
happened. only know a man named
Charley called up the man in the room"
Miss Gingles claimed on the stand that
the larceny charge against her was part
OF the plot to drive her into going to
French Lick Springs, The relation Of this
story visibly affected the witness, and at
one time she seemed on the verge OF a
breakdown.
Miss Gingles was ~cross-examined by AS
sistant state Attorney Short, who at
tempted to make light of the alleged at
tack upon her, showed that she had not
mentioned It until two lays afterwards,
although she had met Miss Barrette with
a policeman in the meantime.
The girls past history was raked up and
she was confronted with many incidents
that tended to darken the clsarness Of
her story, but she calmly denied every+
