A little brevity crept into The
Recorder the other day stating that
the Messrs. Wooten would take the
Valdes at Valdosta, and that it would
be enlarged. OF course, it was not
meant to say that Everybody knows
that the Messrs. Wooten will devote
Their time to the new LeGrande at
Waycross. But that little four line
mistake brought many inquiries to the
Valdes proprietor, the we'll known MT

hostelry running in such fine shape
and maintains its prestige with the
Itraveling public. Mr.. Ferrell has
long lease on the Valdes and VIII con

County Treasurer VIII Hanna
this morning called a halt on an al.
,eoed craft by which the Commercial
waterway District No. I. eomprls-
ina the south district, has muicted
the county out OF approximately
$4,000 for the past year.
This amount Of money represents
the actual cost 70 the county for
preliminary work In connection
with the pu~Amish waterway dis
srict, q sum approximatira the cost
cs the Lake Washington canal for
sirilar work. The latter ls an en-.
terprise several times bigger than
the Ouwarsisn waterway.
No Check on Payments.
The warrants for the waterway
district are drawn by three com
missioners. Fred w Newell. Frank
II. Paul aud d. Hamm. There Is
absolutely no check ON the amount
.of money which they can draw.
The county commissioners appro-
prlafed $4,000 for the coming year.
and II is this money which Treas
urer Hanna Ii aiming 10 conserve.
The method in vogue was 10 have
the waterway commissioners certi-
~ that their expenses amounted TO
Z certain sum. and Immediately the
treasurer was called upon to pay H.
Treasurer Takes a Hard.
The county commissioners have
not seen lit to reserve TO
themselves the right 10 check the
claims OF the waterway commits
sioner. nor have they even required
the county auditor 20 keep a check.
The treasurer has been poweriess
TO do anything but pay the war
rants whenever they were pre-
sented.
TINS morning. however. he was
presented with certified list that
ne would be called on to pay
oo,ffs.5o for the expenses Of the
previous month. hanna thereupon
determined to have the matter
fought out In court.
Refuses 10 Pay Warrant
When w. c. Rufter. an old-sime
ward heeier. appeared at the treas.
urer's office. this morning. Hanna
refused 10 pay his alleged salary
for clerk work amounting to 800.
This thing has got TO come to
halt. said Hanna this morning
let the waterway commissioners
start mandamns proceedings to
show that their claims are right
We've got 10 have a check on
them. They come in now and can
selaim most anything
The claims turned In by the wat
erway commission are mass Of
names and figures. No attempt
has been made TO specify what the
money is being paid out for.
Il can't imagine that such 4
large amount OF money Is really
necessary for preliminary work.
So far as I am advised, there has
been no actual work done" said
Hanna.
Big Legal Fees
The records show that the firm
Of shoreft. Mcf.aren & Shorett has
already received approximately
5000 for legal service. The firm
os Bausman a. Keileher got 5000
