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.

Mt’NFORD, I 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. BOONE-YAKI COMPANY.
