C. IJ. ECHOLS ACQUITTED.
The evidence in the Echols ease
was completed Thursday afternoon,
being immediately followed by argu
ments from the attorneys. All the
speeches for and against the prisoner
—eight in number —were aide and
forcible. The evidence was all cir
cumstantial in its nature, and lieiug
of such length and magnitude we are
unable to give it in detail. The case
went to the jury after 9 o’clock Fri
day night under a clear and impartial
charge from Judge Roney. Early
Saturday morning the announcement
was made on the streets that the jury
had agreed upon a verdict. At 6:30
the Judge was in the court room und
announced his readiness to hear the
verdict. The crowd was compara
tively small when the jury came in,
allhough persons on the streets were
hurrying to get there. Mr. Echols
sat facing the jury as they came from
their room, and seemed calm and col
lected, showing great anxiety but no
excitement. Foreman John 11. Bird
handed the verdict to Solicitor Gen
eral Womack, who read it to himself,
paused a moment, and then in a clear
voice read aloud, “We, the jury, find
the d< f aidant not guil y.” Sigiftd •).
It. Bird. Foreman Tire other jurors
were: A. L. Jackson, W. C. Thomp
son, P. E. Middlebrook, A. J. Lewis
W. S. Kirkpatrick, \V. M. S. Downs,
L. W. Lee, A. 8. Hays, J. 11. Wil
lingham, W B. Harvey, T. A. Boyd.
Immediately after the verdict was
read friends and loved ones crowded
about the liberated and free young
iiinn, pressed his hand and tendered
congratulations. The warm and de
voted demonstrations of his brother,
sister mid other relatives who had ap
peared, was of a most tender and pa
thetic nature, too sacred for comment
and too earnest and sincere for eriti
eism through the columns of the
press. Mr. Echols shook hands with
every member of the jury’ who had,
by their verdict, returned him his lib
erty bv pronouncing him ‘not guilty.’
About 9 o’clock he entered a carriage
and was driven to his home where a
welcome awaited him by her who gave
him birth —and such a welcome the
imagination cannot picture and none
on earth can give except a kind and
loving mother. Here we leave Mr.
Echols at the home and in the arms
of those whom he adores and who in
return idolizes him.
It is said that the trial cost the de
fendant three thousand dollars or
more, while it cost Newton county at
least two thousand dollars. We are
t def that Mr. Echols left Monday on
a visit lbs relatives and frionrfo in
Aberdtefi, Mississippi. As towhetli
.•r be w-Hjmake his home anywhere
else besi&ii&i) or near Covington will
doubtless upon bis ow n incli
nation. Ije is a free mail once more,
and tfifs being a free county, lie can
and down wherever in his
judgment ?’ewn§ jiest. We have made
no comments on this case because, in
our opinion, none are necessary. A
jury was selected and sworn to try
this issue, and a verdict of acquittal
has been rendered, and that verdict
must stand —it can never he changed?
n-EATH’S SAD ROLL.
Mr. Thomas Avery, one of New
ton county’s most worthy citizens, de- j
parted this life at his home in Rocky j
Plains district, on Sunday last. Aged
about 54 years. He was a gallant
Confederate soldier, a public-spirited
citizen and a Christian gentleman.—
He leaves family, friends and rela
tives to mourn his loss and lament his
death. He was confined to his bed
only a few days and the announce
ment of his death was a great shock
to his many friends in this communi
ty. May he sleep sweetly.
There is no better society on earth
than can he found in Newton county.
Because a few unfortunate and myste
rious murders have been committed
here, is no sign that we are a blood
thirsty or barbarious people. There
is no finer climate, no purer waterand
air, no better class of people anywhere
than can be found in old Newton.—
Our water power is immense, or lands
fertile and our citizens hospitable, so
ciable, kind and generous. Honest
men and women in search of new
homes can always find a welcome here.

j Grand Jury Presentments.
March Terra—lßß9.
I GEORGIA, Newt an County.
Wc, the grand jurora, drawn and tworn for
j the March Term, 1889, of Newton superior
court, respectfully make the following general
presentments :
An examination of the Ordinary's, Clerk's,
and SheritT's offices and books, shows them to
!>e well and properly kept.
The Tax Receiver’s book, and the Collcc
tor's collections, indicate go and officers iu those
positions.
The prooerty given in for taxation, for the
year 1888, was #2.279 708 ; due the county,
at the assessment of #5 20 per thousand, #1 I.*
554.45. All collected except #50.48.
We recommend that the next grand jury ap- .
point a special committee to investigate the
Tax Receiver’s books, as to valuation of prop
erty given in for taxes in the year 1889.
The Treasurer’s books arc kept in a business |
like manner, proper vouchers for all moneys I
paid out.
The present indebtedness of the county, less
the cash in the hinds of the tieasurcr, which
can be applied to the same, is #39,042 princi
pal, bearing interest ot 7 per cent per annum.
The condition of the public roads, with a j
few exceptions, is good. The few' exceptions j
alluded to are now being put in order. The
commissioners of-roads for Hays district are
instructed to work the disputed road, between
Patrick’s mill and Judge Glass’s house.
We recommend that the county commis
sioners have a low bridge built at Webb’s old
bridge place, 01* Yellow river also have a
bridge built at liutler’s old bridge place, on
South river ; provided, the authorities of Hen
ry county, will bear half the expense ; also that
t ey put proper stringers on Wood’s bridge, on
Vcllow river.
We fmd the court house in good condition,
and the jail iu goo I repair, with the excep
tion of one room, w hich has been damaged by
fire ; the sanitary condition is as good perhaps,
as possible under the circumstances. There
are policies of insurance of #2O 000 on the
court house, #SOOOII the furniture, and #SOO
on the the records.
An examination of the pauper farm, and
books connected therewith, show an unfavor
ble comparison of the expenses of said farm
for 1888, as against 1887. These expenses
show an increase of about #3OO for 188S, over
1887.
We recommend a more economical man
agement of the 1 Farm” by the county com
missioners, and the discharge of A. P.
Harper, one of the inmates, and further re
commend that the "Farm” in future years
be let out to the lowest bidder, per capita,
said lowest bidder to give bond and securi
ty for his faithful performance of his con’
tract.
We find the Justices of the Peace and
Notary's’ dockets kept according to law.
with a few exceptions. We recommend
the following appointments to the office of
Notary Public and Ex. Officio J. P’s :
J P Harris, for 462nd District G. M.
G M Cunningham, “ 461
C O Cowan. “12615 t

Olin Pitts, “ 477th
An examination of the books of the
County School Commissioner, with proper

cate his good business qualities and capa
bility for his position.
We recommend that Jurors and Bailiff's
receive $2 00 per day for services rendered
this court, and riding Bailiffs $2.00 per day.
In taking leave of the court we tender
our thanks to his Honor, Judge Boynton,
for.his able charge and his dispatch of the
busine s of this term ol the court, and his
urbanity and courtesy to tins body; also,
) hanks to Ins HonoL Judge Honey, for his
manly and impartial bearing as temporary
Judge of our court.
To Solicitor General Womack our thanks
for kindnesses extended and courtesies
shown to the body during our session His
energy and ability are matters of record.

chial trouble. Two years ago, her lungs
becoming involved, she became very much
emaciated and lost all strength, being un
der regular treatment of a physician and
taking medicine all hours of the day. I his
continued until a year ago when 1 saw your
advertisement of Dr. Aker’s huglish Kern
ed}' for Consumption and procured a bot
tle, as the tickling in her throat was unre
mitting and so irritating as to make talk
ing impracticable. She was so much re
lieved that another bottle was procured and
we now buy by the case, she never being
without it. She has no physician and takes
no other medicines. She remarked lately
that if she had not procured it when she
did she would now be dead

or do not see any difference in cheap
nostrums put up by cheap John hous

price? No medicine in the world is
giving such unparalleled satisfaction
