SITUATION NOT REASSURING.
Mexican DefactO Government Facing
Grave Problems.

Washington, May 22.-'rhe eco
nomic situation in Mexico is ex-
tremely grave, according to official
advices to the State Department.
With the monetary problem already
acute, the food shortage in Mexico
City and vicinity continuing without
prospect Of any immediate relief and
with the labor strike extending over
practically all the Mexican railway
lines, the de facto Government Is
pictured as facing a serious domestic
plight.

GEORGIA SHERIFF. KILLED.
Young Attorney Fires Fatal Shots
Without Provocation.

Elberton, Ga, May 21.-Sheriff S.
N. HALEY was shot and killed by Ar
old Worley in the lobby of the court
house about noon to-day. Worley is
son of Judge j. N. Worley and re-
Gently succeeded his father as city
attorney. Mr.. HALEY was recently
nominated to succeed himself as She
riff. HALEY was jailer as we'll as She
riff.
Worley was taken to Athens i'm
mediately after the shooting He gave
himself up to Policeman C. w. john
son.
Difficulty Over Prisoner.
Sunday morning about II o'clock
two deputies from Anderson and She
riff HALEY went to the Seaboard rail
road depot and arrested negro, who
was thought to be wanted in Ander-
son. They started back to the court
house, where another Anderson ne
gro was waiting. who had been taken
to EiSerton to identify the other
negro. On the way to the court house
the arrested negro passed lie to
Sheriff HALEY and he slapped the ne
gro.
Mr.. Worley saw this and repri-
manded the sheriff, telling him, it is
stated, that he had better cut it out
The sheriff replied that he was at
tending to his business and that he
CWorley) had better go on about his.
Worley is said to have replied that he
would make it his business.
Reproached by Sheriff.
According to the reports, nothing
more was seen of Worley for about
half an hour. While Sheriff HALEY,
Deputies Sanders and Williams, G. w.
Johnson, assistant chief of police; a
Mr.. Brock and two other men we're
sitting in the court house, Worley
walked up to within about three feet
Of Sheriff HALEY. The sheriff arose
and told Worley that he did not see
the reason for Worley's conduct ear
lier in the day. Worley, it is stated
then pulled his pistol, fired twice at
close range and began backing to-
ward the door. He continued to shoot,
1t Is reported, three more shots bel. g
fired, but none Of these taking effect.
Although mortally wounded, Sheriff
Haley fired at Worley three times as
he was going out Of the door. None
OF these shots took effect.
Halley soon expired, one OF the bull
lets having entered his left side Just
below the heart.
In very short time Worley start
ed back into the court house, but
was met by Deputy Sheriff Sanders,
who told him that he must not enter.
Policeman Johnson came up about
this time and placed Worley under
arrest. He was carried to the city
Jail, but many people began to gather
and since there was talk of violence
he was carried to Athens.
HALEY had been sheriff of Elbert
county for the past several years and
was only recently reelected for four
more years. He was very highly re-
spected and it is said he was a splen-
did officer. Worley is young man
about 80 years Of age, and a member
Of the bar in Elberton.
No other reason for the act is
known except that related above

Against Female Preachers,

Orlando, Fla, May 20.-Efforts to
further the interests of women to the
extent that they would be allowed to
preach in Presbyterian churches fail
ed here to-day after a five-hour de-
bate at the General Assembly Of the
Southern Presbyterian church in the
United States.
Interest was keen during to-day's
discussion, which ended in the vote of
1872 to so in favor Of allowing the
status Of women as regards preaching
to remain as it is.
The vote upheld the ma jorlty re-
port Of the committee to which the
question had been referred. A mi
nority report favored allowing wo-
men to preach.

Where the "IIicker" Goes.

For the information of the public,
on receipt OF the above inquiry last
wednesday morning, we made in
Quiry IS to where the ticker goes"
that Is captured every now and then
from illegal handlers Of it, and we
give below the results Of our inquiry:
According to the nature Of the
case, seized liquor is held for thirty
days ordinarily, and is then poured
out III the street in front OF the coun-
ty jail. Sometimes, however, if par
ties give notice Of intention to claim
the wet goods" it is held temporarily
longer in order to avoid complica-
tiUns.
IN one case recently a small uuan-
tity OF liquor was seized in the woods
some Instance from any residence,
ana there was no chance of proving
whose liquor it was, and in such
cases the liquor Is destroyed on the
spot and the officers go on their way
seeking other Illicit whiskey.
The most recent disposition of
seized liquor took place in front Of
the county jail on the morning Of
Tuesday, May 9th, when a few gal
Ions we're disposed of by pouring into
the sgeet in front of the Jail build
ing.
The next will take place at the
same locality on Friday afternoon of
this week at 2 o'clock, when all that
Is properly subject to destruction will
be poured out. The public Is cor
daily Invited to attend" the pouring
If they SO desire.
Concerning the recent capture of
liquor In the town of Seneca we find
that the arresting officers, being at
work within the jurisdiction of the
town of Seneca, turned the liouor
over to the Seneca authorities, who
VIII doubtless dispose of it properly
IN due course of time. After the
Seneca authorities had handled the
parties from whom this liquor was
seized, preliminary hearing was
waived by the defendants, and the
case will come up for hearing at the
Court Of General Sessions. Some
times the captured liquor is held as
a material witness" in the cases.
and under such circumstances the de-
lay In destroying the stuff is longer
than ordinarily is the case.
In the matter Of the seizure of
some 20 gallons Of liquor on bridge
near Seneca. disposition is at pres
ent uncertain. 1t may be turned
over to the Federal officers If, as is
suspected at the present, the internal
tax thereon has not been paid. So
soon as this question is decided def
nitely, just so soon will the fate of
this bunch Of ''licker" be determined.
If the Federal government releases
all claim to 1t, then it will be de-
stroyed by the capturing officers.
1T occurs at times that the authori-
ties of the town Of Walhalla make
seizures Of liquor. In these instances,
so soon as the case is disposed Of, If
there is conviction Of the parties,
the chief Of police turns the LIQUOR
over to the Sheriff. In no case has
the liquor ever been taken to the
Jail, but when it Is turned over by
the chief Of police 1T is Immediately,
and publicly, in front of the town
hall. destroyed by pouring 1t into the

Germans Make Decided Gains.

Berlin, May 21.-More than 1900
French, including 81 officers, 16 ma
chine guns and cannon, were cap
tured in new German assault on the
Verdun front, in the region of Dead
Man Hill, the war office announced
to-day. The statement says the Ger
man lines were advanced on the south
and southwest slopes Of the hill.

Paris, May 21.-The battle for DOS
session Of important strategic posi-
tions on the Verdun front west of the
Meuse river continued with unabated
severity last night. The French war
office announced this afternoon that
the Germans, although repulsed in
most Of their attempts, succeeded in
capturing a first line trench on Dead
Man Hill and gaining ground on the
slopes west Of the hill.
French Report DounumOnt Capture.
Paris, May 23.-Recapture by the
French, after three months, Of the
greater part OF Fort Douaumont,
which was taken by the Germans at
the outset of their Verdun drive, is
received with great elation by the
press and public, the more so on ac-
count of the effect it Is expected to
have on neutral opinion.
Gen. Nivelle, the French COM
mander at Verdun, took advantage of
the fact that the Germans recently
have been concentrating all their at
tention on Dead Man Hill, on the
other side Of the river, and assem-
bled large amount Of artillery for
the attack on Douaumont sector,
On Sunday Gen. Nivelle began
heavy artillery attack on Fort Dou-
anmont aud adjacent positions. The
hour fixed for the infantry assault
was 4,30 p. N. yesterday. When the
moment came French infantry, which
had been carefully selected and train
ed, began the advance, singing the
"Marseillaise."
The German resistance at some
points was stubborn. On the Froide
Terre road and at Douaumont the
French had to force back the Ger
man infantry inch by inch at the
point OF the bayonet. The leading
French contingents reached Fort
Douaumont at o'clock. They killed
the Germans who resisted and sent

Science to the Rescue.

Announcement that a trio of ply
sicians have succeeded in discovering
the germ of infantile paralysis and
are conducting experiments to find
a serum to eliminate it, will bring re-
lief to thousands of mothers and
fathers in this country. With the
memory of the epidemic which swept
other Eastern cities last summer still
fresh in mind, there will be few who
will not join in hope for the preven-
ton of recurrence of the scourge
which claimed nearly 10000 Ameri-
can babies.
DR.. E. c. Rosenow, in charge of
the experiments at the famous Mayo
clinic in Rochester, MINI, has not
given full details of what has been
accomplished because of a fear of
arousing false hopes, but what he has
consented to let the public know
seems to indicate that it now only is
a matter of time before infantilc
paralysis no longer will be feared, or
at least no more than diphtheria,
smallpox and other diseases which
may be controlled. DR.. Roscnow has
devoted himself exclusively to the
study of the scourge since last sum-
mcr, when he labored in New York
City to cut down the daily death
toll.
The discovery and segregation of
paralysis germs is one of the great
est boons science can confer upon the
world and to the men who perform
such service there cannot come too
great a reward
The people eagerly will await fur
ther announcements from the Mayo
clinic and official confirmation of the
statement that at last the road to sue
cess in the fight against the plague
has been found.
