quarters Will Be Leveled
To Earth.

Atlanta, Feb. 18.-The former
headquarters of General John b.
Hood, on Peachtree street, which
survived the cannonade of Atlanta
and the Sherman raid, is about to
be leveled to earth at last.
1t is going to be RACED to the
ground, along with other Peach
tree landmarks, to make way for
the northbound march of business,
which is gradually converting the
residence part Of Peachtree into a
business thoroughfare.
So busy are the wreckers at this
very moment in the neighborhood
of the old Capital City club, the
Lloyd House and the g vernor's
mansion, IN that part OF the city
looks almost as if it has recently
been bombarded.

Operating a System. ;"

Atlanta. Feb. 1.-THE Fulton
county grand jury returned in
dictments against ten persons as
a result of the probe into the re-
cent illegal arrests and extortion
of money from negroes.
Included in the indictments are
Herbert Roswell, the young law
yer whose recent trouble here
started the probe by the grand
jury; Charles Insom, a justice
court bailiff; Harry Latham, a
bailiff in Solicitor of the City
Court Lowry Arnold's office, and
others not known yet because
they are not under arrest.
1t is intimated that the probe
into the straw bond and fraudu-
lent bond system, through which
many criminals have escaped JUS
tice, has only partially started,
and that men of prominence may
become enmeshed in the tolls.
Judge Bell said the conditions
were the worst he had ever
known as revealed by the jury's
probe and that there would be no
let up until all the guilty parties
have been arrested and punished
and the system smashed.

Birthday
FittinglY Observed

February 18th Lincoia's birth
day was fttingly observed in
Fitzgerald by the patriotic socie-
ties. The weather was delight
full and every way favorable to
the occasion.
At 10 o'clock a. m. the people

the life, service, character and
example of the Martyred Presi-
dent, by the pastor of the church,
Rev. DIR. Fisher.
At 5 o'clock p. m. an oyster
supper was served at the w. r.
c. Hall by Post IA. assisted by
members of the W. R. G. The
supper was well attended and
was all that could be desired.
The service was of the very best,
as the ladies of the w. r. G.. al
ways provide, and they can not
be excelled as entertainers.
After supper the guests re-
tired to the audience room where
they were entained by a very
elegant address on the Life of
President Lincoln, by the pastor
of the Christian Church, Rev. J.
w. Walton; by patriotic songs by
Mrs. Kate Brown, the Misses
Owens and others; by select read
ing by Mrs. J. M. Mosher, and
by timely and fitting remarks by
the Rev. Fisher.
Take it all in all, it was a day
well and profitably spent in honor
of a great and good man.

TRADE REVIEW
Buying in Small Lots-Woolen
Goods Affected by Pend
ing Tariff Changes.

New York, April 2S. Following is
Bradstreet's business review Of the
past week:
Trade reports continue to present
| contrasts in that a liue of demaIcation
has to be drawn bet ween immediate ard
future orders. In the one hand bust
ness for current or nearby delivery is
good to active, all depending on the
section Of the country considered, the
stimulating influence being furnished
by greatly improved weather condi-
tions. Against this development must
be cited the fact that there is a gen.
eral disposition. except in the north
west and parts of the southwest, to
wait until tariff matters become
clearer before anticipating future re-
quirements.
With conservatism manifested on
that account. the controlling idea the
country over seems to be for the seal
ing down of stocks. Onder the cir
cumstances there is a marked tendency
to ship frequently and to buy in small
lots.
Lumber continues very active in the
northwest. Wool and wooden goods
more than any other line seem to be
more strongly affected by impending
tariff changes.
Specifications on finished steel are
still heavy, though the volume of
such appears to be abating and it is
easier to get deliveries Of structural
steel. New business is light.
Pig iron is dull. except where urgent
needs necessitate prompt buying.
Copper is quiet, but prices are firm.
Money is easier.
Stock prices continue irregular.
The undertone as regards bonds is u
little bit better.
Crop reports are encouraging. Win
ter wheat is in excellent shape and
needed rains are reported in most states
west of the Mississippi.
In the south the report generally is
favorable as to progress of crop plant
ing.
Wheat, including -four, exports from
the United States and Canada for the
week ending April "a aggregate 3,439,-
594 bushels, against 8 1859, Ola bushels
this week last year. Business failures
for the week ending April "a were 273,
which compares with 248 in the like
week of 1912.
Business failures in Canada num-
bered twenty-one.

Hughes of FIT. Pierre. having ordered a
bill of particulars filed before May 3.
The question of the right of the de-
PENDANTS attorneys to ask for o more
specific statement was formally raised
after Attorneys Bangs and Stephens
had declined an informal request that
they furnish the defense with data
from which to frame an answer.
In deciding the case Judge Hughes
eliminated all questions of the right
of Flavin and the other defendants to
demand bill of particulars and
confined his consideration of the
mer it's of the case to the position Of
the National Surety company, Presi-
dent James HALEY of the First Nation
al bank, I. M. Humphrey and j. J,
Mcnamara, all sureties on the bonds
Of the defendants.
The plaintiffs Argued that the de-
PENDANTS of their own know ledge were
cognizant Of their own acts and that
the records on which the complaints
ale based are public and accessible to
the attorneys for the defendants.
Judge Hughes admitted this to be
true, but held that the bondsmen had
no inherent knowledge OF the princi-
pal acts and therefore are entitled to a
full bill of particulars, giving the
specific acts of conversion, which go to
make mp the aggregate of $50, 600.

TAX COMMISSION
Gov. Byrnes Says II Will Meet
the Approval of Property
Owners.

Sioux Falls, April 29. -Expressing
entire satisfaction with the work of
the newly created tax commission.
Governor Byrne. who ia spending a
few days in the city, declared that
the board will meet with popular ap-
prevail and will be found to be far
more satisfactory than the old system.
1.-THE tax commission will work out
alright" said the governor. ''They do
not intend to turn the world over, but
will zee to ii that the assessors en-.
force tine law. 1t is not necessary to
increase taxes because the assessed
valuations are raised. The state funds
are not rated by a percentage tax on
the valuation but In a lump sum, and
the increase in valuation would conse-
quently reduce the rate.
"Those who fear tnat the increase
in valuations will increase the taxes,
should not. OF all Of the taxing dis

are concerned. the situation is not diff

is taxed. Heretofore assessors fixed a
certain arbitrary valuation of property
and did not obey the law and conse-
~quently had no real uniform standard
of assessment.
Another trouble heretofore has
been that with from 1900 to 1000 as
SCISSORS in the state, there has been no
general head and each acted independ-
emily. There was no unifying infu-
ence to direct them. The act creating
the tax commission does not change tine
law on taxation, but provides means
for a proper administration of the law
which the state already had. by Great

and taxing officers.

of the people are in hearty accord with
the tax commission. l am perfectly

during the first year will justify its
existence
