SAUNDERS WON'T
TAKE THE CREDIT
Os Having Returned the Mon
ey He Stole at Social
Circle.
Sffi BE MHO IT
And That Some One Has Stolen It—
The Question Still Moot as to
t the Mysterious Package.
Lucius L. Saunders, he man now in jail
at Winder charged with the theft of the
package containing 14.000 at Social Circle,
has confessed to the theft.
Saunder’s arrest was brought about in
truly sensational fashion. Six months ago
he was transferred to Cincinnati, where, at
his hoarding house, he met and made
friends with a baking powder man. To this
man, whom he thought to be a fast friend,
he confided his crime and secured a prom
ise to stick to him. His friend asked per
mission to accompany Saunders to Geor
gia, paid all the expenses of the journey,
together with a guard in a hotel. When
he reads this article Saunders will receive
his first intimation that his friend was one
of Pinkerton's shrewdest men, who never
left Saunders' side until he was safe in
the custody of the Walton county officers.
Saunders failed to give bond and is now in
jail. His trial will be held at the February
term of court, beginning the 21st.
Now comes one of the straugeat features
of the remarkable story. Saunders, after
confessing and saying he was willing to
make every reparation in his power and
suffer any just punishment for his crime,
emphatically denies that he was the per
son who sent the package of $3,700 to the
express company. The officers of the com
pany and the detectives who are at work
on the case are inclined to believe this
taking away from himself the credit he
might have been given for making tho
restitution. H< says that, after he took the
money he really intended to return it, but
was afraid to do so, and so let it remain
hidden for several weeks. His story, as
told to the company officials, is about as
follows:
"I own that I took the money, and after
I had secured the money I immediately
felt htat I hal an elephant on my hands.
I n.t once determined to return it at the
earliest possible moment, but was afraid
to do so. So I hid it in the woods. Several
weeks afterwad I went to the place and
was astonished to find the money gone.
That Is all I know about the money until
I saw In th>> papers thht somebody had re
turned $3,700 to the express company. I
don’t know who sent that money and I
can’t say whether or not. it was a portion
of tho money I took. It may not be.”
Thic statement coming on the heel of a
full confession makes the story assume a
new and decidedly Interesting turn.
From what Superintendent Hulbert said
yesterday afternoon it is probable that the
detectives will continue to look for the
person who sent the mysterious package.
The location of the spot where Saunders
said he hid the $4,000 would not be given
for publication.

ASSESSORS
Are Hard at Work on the Valuation of All
Property.
The opportunity for making returns is
over and the work of the assessors now
commences in earnest.
Their report on the assessed valuation of
the city of M-acon will not be ready until
about the middle of March, and the result
will be looked for with considerable inter
est by everyone in Macon.
It is expected that the assessors will be
exceedingly strict in their work and an
effort will be made to include in the list
a much larger list of people who should
pay their taxes than now do so.
This means that personal property will
be looked after and the returns will be
much more closely investigated.

ON TRIAL.
The Case of B. R. Stripling Against Mrs.
Smiley for Pointing a Pistol.
The case of B. R. Stripling against Mrs.
L. T. Smiley charging her with pointing
a pistol at him and carrying concealed
weapons will come up in Justice Balkcom’s
court this afternoon at 3 o’clock.
The charges against Mrs. Smiley are
that she accused Stripling of killing some
fine poultry of hers, and that she attempt
ed to avenge their death by shooting
Stripling full of holes. It is alleged that
she armed herself with a pistol and went
to look for him. Stripling says that when
she saw him she called him out, but he
saw that she was armed and was also mad
so he refused to go. .
Mrs. Smiley is the wife of the yard
foreman of the Southern railway, and the
case is attracting considerable attention.
THE TI'P WAS STRAIGHT.
Noised Around the Capital That Tom Al

The tip in The News a few days ago to
the effect that Tom Allen would receive
mercy at the hands of the pardoning board
is verified by the rumors afloat around the
capital in Atlanta. A gentleman came
down from Atlanta this morning and said
that he had heard from very liable sources
-that the case had been decided favorably
to Allen and would be made public in a
day or two when it was reported to the
governor.
The report of the board may be made
public at any moment.
IRREPRESSIBLE HUMOR.
Postmaster at Dawson is Evidently a Very
Jolly Wag.
A few’ days ago a prominent real estate
man of Macon wrote to the postmaster at
Dawson and asked the address of a gen
tleman in that county who owned some
property in Macon which was about to be
sold for taxes.
The fellow who hads out the mails there
is evidently a humorist of the first water,
as his reply would indicate. He simply
wrote on the bottom of the letter and re
turned it to the real estate man: “I do not
know which way he went from here. He
died about twelve -months ago.”

WOOL AND VELVET COSTUME FROM HARPER’S BAZAR
All through the winter as well as the spring and summer wool costumes are con
sidered the smartest for street wear, and i t is surprising to see how many different
fashions are continually appearing, which are, each and al Idistinctive. Just at pres
ent the long poionaise or redingote effect is more in favor than the short blouse
which has been so much the style for some months. Another point about the new
gowns is that they are most elaborately trimmed, either with braiding, fur or vel
vet. One gown which is exceedingly becoming and effective is made of cloth of dark
grey color. The skirt is of medium length and is trimmed with machine stitching and
a darker shade of velvet. The waist has do üble revers which at the back form capes
over the shoulders. These are of the velvet of a very much deeper shade. The front
of the waist is extremely odd, made with a shaped plastron of cloth which is cut so
as to give long and becoming lines to the figure. This is a desirable feature and
one not always easy for the amateur dress maker to attain, and here the cut tissue
paper pattern of this gown issued by Harper’s Bazar, wher is appears, will be found
very useful. The belt is of velvet and the color is also of velvet, while at the back
of the neck is three tiny ostrich tips. Any dull effect the velvet might have is ob
viated by being lined with white satin. The buttons are of velvet and the way in
which the velvet is put on the skirt is decidedly new and quite unlike anything
that has been seen before.
to the stronger sex, we must add paren
thetically, would cause a man to succumb
■at the outset. She struggles along, and
-before the world is brave and cheerful,
making light of the worries that in reali
ty eating out her very soul.
But when the necessity for wearing the
mask is laid aside and she can hide away
in some little corner where naught but af
fection and tenderness can enter, what is
she then? A woman through and through,
helpless, clinging and without a vesl’ige of
of those go-ahead qualities that have given
her the reputation for pluck. Woman’s
nature dosn’-t change, even though the
need of money or the desire for fame
urges her out into the hurry and worry of
that side of life so different from the en
circling protection of the home circle.
She may appear indifferent to outsiders,
but she is not really so. She may show a
pair of bright, keen eyes, that look as
though their brilliance never could be
dimmed by tears, and yet the struggle may
sometimes prove too much, and in the se
clusion of her room all the pent up trouble I
-will find vent in such a fit of weeping as '
would astonish those who think they know I
her best, but who in reality know her so
little.
Ah, plucky little woman! It tikes a wo
man to read your hearts, to ferret out that
inner life hidden so far beneath the sur
face, and it is a woman’s earnest sympa
thy for you voiced in the one honest:
“God help you.”—Philadelphia Times.

Bathing the babv is one of the joys of
young motherhood. The mere sight and
touch of the soft, sweet, cooing, crowing
little creature is a solace for many sorrows.
This happiness is missed if either mother
or child be sickly, weak, nervous, cross.
If either is so, it is the mother’s fault. She
has failed to keep herself well and strong
during the period of gestation, and the
neglect shows in her baby.
All the peculiar ills of womankind are
cured by Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.
It relieves pain, allays inflammation, stops
debilitating drains, strengthens and vitalizes
the organs involved. It so perfectly pre
pares a woman for the time of parturition
that pain and danger are practically elim
inated. By its use perfect health is assured
for both mother and baby. It is the most
marvelously efficient medicine ever devised
for this purpose and the only one that may
be absolutely depended upon.
Mrs. Amafida Ellison, of No. 2100 Boonville St.,
(Station A), Springfield, Mo., writes: "I am
happy to say that I followed your advice and took
your ‘ Favorite Prescription ’ before my fourth
child was born, and I got through all right. My
first three were still born. Your advice was to
take the ' Favorite Prescription ’ and I had a
much more easy time than when my first child
ren weie born. Now I have two boys living and
they are as fine boys as there are in Springfield,
Mo. lam the happy mother of these two boys.”

The Reasons of It
It is not by accident or by chance that
the Ivers & Pond piano Is held in such
high esteem. There is a good reason for it. |
The New England Conservatory of Music
did not hapen to buy 227 Ivers & Pond
pianos in preference to other makes.
There is a reason for it. It was not merely
good luck that led nearly two hundred of
the most prominent musical and educa
tional institutions in the country to se
lect the Ivers & Pond. It was the result
of careful investigation and sound rea
son.
There are good sound reason why you
should decide upon an Ivers & Pond if
you are going to buy a piano. The reputa
tion of the makers for liberal and fair
dealing is your safeguard. The important
patented improvements found in no other
piano is another reason for deciding in
its favor. But it is the watchful and pains
taking care that follows every piano from

be depended upon to give the best results
and the best wear.
