PAID TOO MUCH,
Three Officials of Cherokee
Must Refund Com
missions.
A Canton, Ga., spécial says an error
in validating commissions retained by
the last three county treasurers of
Cherokee county has just been discov
ered in the office of Ordinary Wehb,
that is giving the interested ones no lit
tle worry and concern. In the settle
‘ment made by L. W. Hodges, late treas
‘urer, it is claimed he took credit for
about $BOO too mueh commissions, and
it is understood that he has sold his lit
tle home, saved from the commissions
’of the office for the past two years, and
will at once settle whatever shortage is
shown to be due by him.
W. T. MeCollum and W. F. Ponder,
who immediately preceded Mr. Hodges,
are said to be in error about $6OO and
$6OO, respectively, but they or their
bondsmen will make good whatever the
shortage may be.

poses, and this has been cut up into.

fer has been made for the lots as &
whole. About $3,000 will be realized
from the lots, and it is then their inten
tion to erect an $B,OOO structure.—Ac
