Potts Indicted for Murder.
The grand jury at Rome, Saturday
morning returned a true bill against
J. D. Potts, charged with the murd"r
of Dr. M. A. Thedford a tew weeks
ago. This was one of the most sensa

Rome and attracted considerable at
tention.
Public feeling is largely with Potts
and there are very few who think any
thing more than a formal trial will
follow the true bid.

Death Claims George W. Scott.
George W. Scott, one of the most
prominent financiers in Atlanta, and
one of the best known men in the
south, died in that city a few days
ago. Mr. Scott was born in Alexan
dria, Pa., in 1829, but lived in the
south nearly all his life. He lias been
associated in nearly all of the promi
nent business interests in Atlanta, and
at the time of his death was a very
wealthy man. Ho was founder of the
Agnes Scott Institute, at Decatur, and
was the president of tne George W.
Scott Investment Company, one of the
largest holders of real estate in the
city of Atlanta. As president of that
company he built the famous Century
building.
Verdict Against Convict Sims.
At Atlanta a few days ago a default
verdict was taken in tne city court ’n
favor of the Capital City bank against
G. H. Sims, the defaulting bank clerk
who is now serving a sentence of six
years in the Atlanta federal prison.
The amount involved in the verdict
is $74,000, together with interest for
several thousand dollars, this being
the sum sued for by the bank. The
default verdict was .akon, as Sims
was not present in court and made no
defense to the action. The bank
brought suit against Sims shortly after
he was placed in the penitentiary.
So far as is known there is nothing
on which the judgment can be levied
at present, but if Sims zhould get hold
of sufficient money or property to sat
isfy the judgment after ho comes out
of prison it will then become effective
on that money or property.

lest. Seventy-six of these cases came
from Georgia, and all have been cured,
while forty-six cases not treated or on
which the madstone was used, twelve
have died of hydrophobia.
The reports of the physicians in
charge. Dr. James N. Brawner. and
the treasurer, were both very satisfac
tory to the fellows and members.

Suit of Mormon Elders.
One of the most interesting cases
which will be heard when the United
States court meets in Athens on the
firs-t Monday in November, will be the
two suits for damages brought by the
Mormon alders against thirty-nine of
the most prominent citizens of Hart
and Franklin counties.
The two suits are brought by F.
Stewart, of Arizona, and L. F. Zundel.
of Utah, The defendants are charged
with bearing the plaintiffs, injuring
them physically, and humiliating them
to*?he extent of $50,000 each, and this
sum is -»sk*l
It is set forth in the suit that the
-» %■ v >
plaintiffs were two quiet and inoffens
ive citizens of the United States who
were spending the night at the home
of one of their friends, O. T. Shirley,
on September 23, 1901. On that night
a mob of men came to the house, de
manded that the two Mormon elders
come out, and when they appeared, af
ter some debate, seized them, took
them a little way from the house, and,
forcing them to stoop over, whipped
! them with switches, traces and other
instruments, seriously injuring them
Tne si,.c was filed on March 11,
1902. Since that time the defendants,
through their atorney, have filed an an
swer, denying the statements made.
When the case comes up it will con
sume about one week of time.

Many Will Visit Atlanta Fair.
According to statements of general
: passenger agents of the various rail
roads leading into Atlanta, the South
ern Interstate Fair attendance prom
ises to break all records of previous
years.
All of the agents agree that all sign?j
at present point to carrying larger
crowds Atlantawards this year than
ever before.
There are a number of special
events on the program for the occa
sion that are sure to profitably enter
tain all those who attend.
At a meetinf of the fair directors
Saturday it was decided to build fifty
more stalls at the race track. This
action was necessitated by a telegram
received from William cannon an
nouncing that he had arranged for the
shipment of 200 horses from St Louis.
In addition to this number a car load
is coming from Chicago. This means
more than three times as many horses
this year as last and many oi. the com
ers are well known to all those who
follow the doings of the turf in the
daily papers.
Manager Walters has a large gang
of workmen busy transforming the
old agricultural building into a verita
ble fairyland and already wonders
have been accompi.&hed to this £ nd.

Milk Permits Recalled.
A general shakeup for the milk deal
ers of Atlanta has been ordered by the
board of health. This was done after
the new daily inspector was elected.
Upon the recommendation of Dr. J.
P. Kennedy, the health officer of Atlan
ta, the board of health decided to re
call all permits to milk dealers that
are now in existence. The permits that
are now held by the milk dealers will
be void after October 18. They may
be exchangel, however, without cost or
fees, for new permits, which will be is
sued from tne office of the
partment.
The reason for this action is that
the board of health has issued more
than 1,000 permits to milk dealers
during the past few years. A large
number of them have gone out of busi
ness, and therefore it is impossible to
tell exactly the location of the uaries
of thoge who dispose of milk in At
lanta.

More Inaccuracies Discovered.
Comptroller General Wright, who is
watching carefully every book submit
ted to him for examination by book
agents, who de&ire to secure from the
state the five-year contract for books
under the state uniformity law, has
discovered more inaccuracies.
In Thorpe’s History of the United
States, published by Eldridge of Phila
delphia. he finds various unfair allus
ions to the south, stten as the war was
fought wholly for slavery; that the
south had no other income than that
from the slaves, and an incorrect ac
count of the battle which war, waged
between the Merrimac and the Moni
tor.
In Hawthorne’s Fourth Reader, pub
lished by the Globe Publishing Com
pany, there is a picture of Harriet
Beecher Stowe, the authoress of “Un
cle Tom’s Cabin.” together with sev
eral pages about her, in which it was
said she was a great woman, and her
writings against the south so stirred
the people of the north that the war
was brought about.
A representative of the Globe Pub
lishing company called on Comntrol
ler General Wright to explain that the
references in the history to the south
were not inended as any reflection on
this section of the country, and if tli*
contract for that history was secured*
it would be revised.
