PRICE WAS EXAGGERATED.
Chief Clerk Says Files Cost SI,2o:

Allen r. Boyd. chief clerk Of the Ii
brary Of Congress. yesterday corrected
the statement made in an out-of-town
paper to the effect that the newspaper
files Of the old Augusta Chronicle. be-
tween the years I7S6 and 1909, had been
purchased by the Library for S,5Oo. Mr..
Boyd states that the consideration was

The deal is considered OF great i'm
portance. because OF the fact that the
Chronicle was the official organ Of the
State of Georgia during the period
covered by the files purchased, and that
its printer was the offlcial State printer.
The files consequently contain many
laws. journals of the legislature, proc
lamations OF the governor, three consti-

SAM HING IN GRAVE.
Police still Seek Murderer of
ChInaman.

Information obtained by the detectives
working on the mysterious murder of
Sam Hing, the Chinaman who was done
to death and robbed in his little laundry
at $3.50 Fourteenth street northwest last
Tuesday night. made the police hopeful
that the Chinaman's murderer will be
behind cell bars in a short time.
Up to the hour OF the inquest yester-
day at the morgue the police were at a
loss for a clew. Precinct Detective
Weber declared to Coroner hewitt that
the police did not have any evidence to
implicate any one in the crime. Conse-
qUently the coroner's jury agreed that
the Chinaman came to his death from
the blow of a blunt instrument in the
hands Of an unknown person.
Sam Kings body was inferred at the
Congressional Cemetery yesterday after
noon.
