OBJECTIONS IN
ORDER SOMETIMES.

The Pittsville Record in it's answer
to our statement regarding raids on
the County Treasury declares that we
have championed tyrannical attitude
on the part of the city's representa-
tives on the Board. This declaration
would be true and we would be to
blame, if is were not for the fact that
we sincerely believe that the things
asked for by the people of the cities
are needed, are well worth their cost,
and are economies in the long run.
not alone for those who are asking for
them, but for all the people of the
county as well.
Take, for instance, the proposition
Of tuberculosis Sanatorium. Their
are many patients who ought to haVl
sanatorium treatment in this county
They are entitled to it. But they hayc
to wait their turns at Sanatoria Il
other counties which are now over
crowded. They are losing ground n
their fight against the disease while
they wait. They are out of industry
loads upon society instead of active
aids to society so long as the disease
remains unarrested. Their earning
are cut down, in some cases to moth
ing. Some of them have dependent
who will be public charges unless they
are cured at the earliest possible date.
The sanatorium would save lives
and each life would be worth much to
the community. But the Collectors
would let the lives go in order to save
q little on their taxes. But those who
have been saved from the ravages Of
the white plague" and their loved
ones, can appreciate the meaning Of
this better than we can. Those wht
face a wait of indefinite length befor-
they can get into a place where prope,
treatment can be given can get the
irony of this viewpoint better still
What must be the feeling of such IN
fortunates as they contemplate pun
lie which would rather save a few del
lars than try to save several lives?
The suggestion of raids on In
Treasury" other than attempts to Sc
cure projects of benefit to the publ
as whole, is preposterous-too pi
posterous for serious consideration /
there really had been raids for the So!

Ward Is Indicted
By Grand Jury on
Charge Of Killing

WHITE PLAINS, N. J., June Is
Walter S. Ward, millionaire bakers
son, today was indicted by the West
chester grand jury on charge Of
killing Clarence Peters, ex-sailor,
last May.
Soon after the indictment was re-
turned deputy sheriffs were sent to
Wards home in New Rochelle to
arrest him. He has been at liberty
on $4,000 bond.
District Attorney Weeks today
made formal complaint to Supreme
Court Justice Modschauser charging
that George S. Ward, wealthy baker
and father of Walter S. Ward, who
has confessed killing Clarence Peters
has entered a conspiracy to defeat
the ends of justice.
Justice Morschauser who impan-
elled the grand jury investigating
the Ward caae, was asked by the
district attorney to sit as a commit
ting magistrate and investigate the
charges brought by the district at
torney. George S. Ward, for whom
a subpoena has been issued, is said
to be in Pennsylvania.

Cotton Market Opinions

J. s. Bache & Co.: We doubt the wis
dom Of buying until we have a further de-
cline, unless, of course, weather should
again turn to the bad.
Hubbard Bros: We still contend that
clear weather in JunA will cause the mar
ket to ease off again and it seems that
bad weather will have to make its appear
ance again before the market has a consist.
ent upturn.
Logan & Bryan: AS the security market
was again weak Thursday and acts as
though further weakness will be exhibited,
1t is quite likely that cotton market will
have to coktend with more liquidation of
q sympathetic sort.
AIunds & Winslow: Continue firm in the
belief that cotton is a purchase on such
reactions as occasionally takes place in the
market at present.
Hayden-Stone Co.: At around existing
levels many of the unfavorable features
of the situation are, in our opinion, dis
counted.
Thomson & McKinnon: In view o; the
fact that the most trying period of the
crop is before us and the strong spot sit
uation we would rather wait for the set
backs and again take the buying side.
of fair weather we expect to see additional
liquidation in the near future. but, the
other hand in the present state of mind
of the cotton trade it would take very few
days of wet weather to bring about q sub
stantial advance.
Lamborn & CO.: The tendency Is reac-
tlonary and 1t would not be surprising tn
see the decline proceed considerably further

Store Manager Hides
Money in Trash Box
AndForgets; TooLa

Pitting his mind against the tribe
of burglars, robbers, sneak-thieves
and hold-up men to find a safe place
for the money the store had taken
in during the day, the manager of
the Prater Cigar store Tuesday
night pitched the contents of the
company's cash register into the
trash box. reasoning that lawless
gentlemen would overlook this in
their search.
The manager was so sure that
he had outwitted any possible
burglar which might fancy his
store on that night, and was so
sure that the 500 was safe, that
he went home and slept peaceful
ly, Diminishing the matter from his
mind. ,.4.
It remained dismissed. When the
manager entered the store Wednes-
day and prepared for the business
of the day, he threw the trash box
and it's precious contents into the
refuse can, which is the first step
on the way to the city garbage
pile. So far as is known, the cash
box completed the journey, for when
the memory of his burglar foiling
deed came to the. store manager,
the money had forever disappeared.
: Police believe 1.-The Mystery of
the Trash Pile" is fated to be one
of the unsolved cases in police an
nails. Was the money found in the
refuse can by some wandering,
hunger-stricken tramp? Or did it go
the way of the other trash of a
great city? Only one thing is sure,
and that is the statement of the
store manager that hereafter he will
take his chances with the burglars.

KNIGHT Gives DATA
ON WOMEN HANGED

Polly Barclay, of Wilkes county,
was the first woman hanged IN
Georgia, according to DIR. LucIan
Lamar knight, state historian.
In a letter to The Journal Mr..
Knight takes issue with the numer-
Gus statements made as an after
math of Mrs. Cora Lou WILSON'S
case, that Susan Eberhart was the
first Georgia woman to hang.
y Susan Eberhardt, according to Mr..
knight, paid the penalty in Webster
county in 1872, but the Barclay Wom-
an was hanged in 1906. She was
hanged from an oak tree on the
Lexington road in Wilkes county,
he declared.
His letter follows:
at is quite generally believed that
the first white woman ever hanged
in Georgia was Susan Eberhart,
who paid the death penalty in Web
ster county, in 1872. The particu-
lars of the crime have been extern
sively reviewed by the state press
within the past few days. But all
this deluge has proceeded upon a
false impression. The first waite
woman ever hanged in Georgia was
Polly Barclay. Her execute oc-
Cured in Wilkes county, in 1906.
I'm the superior court r4sords of
the county Of Wilkes, there are brief
minutes of the trial. The presiding
judge was Hon. Charles Tat, after
wards United States senator. Two
days were consumed in the trial.
The minutes DO not give the names
of the lawyers, but the foreman OF
the jury was Christopher Binns.
The defendant was sentenced to be
hanged within twenty days.
"She did not die on the ga!:oWs,
but was hanged from al old oak
tree, on the Lexington road. In
stead of using a rope, the execu'
toner employed a chain: The late
Mr.. James Galloway, of the Macon
Telegraph, is my authority for this
statement. 1t is said that believ-
ers in the supernatural, especially
negroes, avoid the wierd spot, to
this very day, and that on windy
nights, when the storm is abroad,
one in this neighborhood can still
hear the rattle of iron manacles.
Tradition states that the woman
was hanged for procuring the MUIR
der of her husband. The real per
petrator of the deed was a half
brother. who effected an escape. 1t
was believed that Polly planned and
instigated the murder. Sentiment
was against her, and she was con
victed chiefly on the testimony Of
a lad who was i'll at the time and
who from his sick bed overheard
the plot.
"Polly Barclay was above the
average in intellect. She also pos
sessed personal attractions, of
which she was somewhat vain. Elk
pecting an acquittal, she was fes-
lively arrayed for the occasion.
Nevertheless, when the judge pro-
nounced sentence, she was the cool
est person in the courtroom. Her

DR.. M. L. Stembridge, also Of
Milledgeville, corroborated the tes->
timony of DR.. Binion except to
state that Denson's compensation
is $50 per month.
Another prisoner official testify
ing before the investigators was j.
T.. Satterfield, the storekeeper at
the prison, who declared that the
daily ration of meat is seven
eighths of a pound per day per
man. He said there have been times
when the supply of shoes and socks
has run short, but generally the
supply is sufficient. About 2,4O0
pounds Of side meat is required
each week, according to Mr.. Sat-

after which Lipscomb lapsed into

but said he gave out so much medi-
cine that this particular occasion
made no special impression on his
mind.
