WIDOWS PENSIONS-
Laiire Number of Applicants May
Reduce Amount to Each.
Atlanta News.
If applications for widows’ pen
sions come in as rapidly as the ap
plication blanks are being sent out,
Commissioner Lindsay will be able
so he announced this morning, to
pay but very little money to each
of the widows this year, unless the
governor decides to cut down the
amount of the pensions from S6O to
some other sum.
Hundreds of application blanks
are being sent out every day, and
today it is reported that Fulton
county alone will have over 600
widows of Con federate soldiers ask
ing for pensions. According to
the calculations made by Mr.
Lindsay, only 1,666 pensions can
be paid out of the $ 100,000, basing
each pension at S6O. But if the
other counties of the state come
up to Fulton according to their
ratio of population, it will be an
utter impossibility to pay out any
money at all.
This will necessitate some action
on the part of the legislature.
That body will either have to cut
dawn the amount of *uch pension
or make a larger appropriation, the
latter being very unlikely.
The story in The News yesterday
telling that it was very probable
the widows would receive no pen
sions this year has created a wide
spread interest throughout the
state.
Mr. Lindsay has almost complet
ed his work. There remains only
$30,000 in the treasury to be paid
out to the stragglers, as they’ are
called. The paving up of the
counties has been completed and
this afternoon Treasurer Park and
Commissioner Lindsay will meet
for the purpose of checking up.
Pneumonia Can be Prevented.
This disease always results from
a cold or an attack of the grip and
may he prevented by the timely
use of Chamberlain’s Cough Rem
edy. That remedy was extensively
used during the epidemics of La
Grippe of the past few years, anu
not a single ease has ever been re
ported that did not recover or that
resulted in , pneumonia, which
shows it to be a eeriaiti pi even live
of that dangerous disease. Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy has gained
a world wide reputation for its
cures ot colds and grip. For sale

LYNCHING IN INDIANA.
Negro Dragged From Jail and
Hanged—His Body Burned.
Terre Haute, Ind., Feb. 26.
Justice, swift and te rible, was
meted out today to George Ward,
the negro who murdered Miss Ida
Finkelstein, the school teacher, by
shooting her with shotgun and cut
ting her throat, yesterday. In a
few hours after his arrest an angry
mob battered down the doors of the
jail, dragged the miserable prisoner
to the Wabash bridge, several
squares away, and hanged him to
the bridge draw. Not content with
the hanging the crowd cut the
corpse down and laying it on a
sandbar under the bridge kindled
a fire and cremated the remains.
Ward was arrested at 10 o’clock
at the car works, where he was em
ployed as a laborer, and after being
fully identified, made a confession.
His only excuse for the murder
was that Miss Finkelstein called
him a ’’dirty nigger” and slapped
him in the face.

Mr. C- W- Harris-
The death of Mr. C. W. Harris,
which occurred at his home, near
Taylorsville, last w r eek, removes
one of Bartow county’s best citi
zens.
He was born in Meriwether
county, but spent most of his life
in Bartow. When the civil war
broke out he was among the first to
answer the south’s call for soldiers.
In 1861 lie enlisted in what be
came Company 0., in Phillips’ Le
gion and followed with faithfulness
and courage the fortunes of that
gallant command in Virginia
through the four years of struggle,
surrendering with Lee’s remnants
at Appomattox. He brought home
from the strife as relics his old
canteen, his combined fork and
spoon and his soldier hat with two
bullet holes in it. These he prized
to the day of his death, as he loved
the association of veterans, berig
an attendant at the reunions, and
delighted to peruse the literature
of those stormy days. His enthus
iasm over the traditions and mem
ories of the cause in w’hich he
prided himself on being an humble
figure never abated.
Alter his return from the war he
was married to Miss Ella Smith, of
Taylorsville. He joined the Bap
tist church, of which he was a 'xm
seciated and active member for 27
years. He chose farming as his
occupation and his industry and
good m>nagement brought him a
fair share of success.
Mr. Harris was know'll by those
among whom he lived as a man of
honesty and strictest integrity,
kind heartedness and devotion to
his family.
He leaves a wife and four chil
dren to mourn the loss of a kind
husband and father. Mrs. H. E,
Young, who recently died in this
city, was oneef his children.
