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 tional killings ever taking place in 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. * * « R®ports on Pasteur Institute. The annual meeting of the board of governors o' the Georgia Pasteur in stitute. which was held at the offlie of the institute in Atlanta a few days ago, resulted in tlu re-election of all officers of the institute. Annual reports were received from the various officers. The report of Dr. Henry R. Slack, of LaGrange, presi dent. showed that eighty-five patients had been treated during the past year, making 150 since the institute was opened, and only one case has been 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.

While on the fleer of parlia ment, Mr. Howell was welcomed by the Canadian premier, Sir Wilfred Lauriar, Minister of Finance Fielding and other leading members of the com mons and of the administration. The premier left his seat and chatted with Mr. How'ell for some time. The pres ident of the Canadian senate also ex tended a personal welcome to Mr. Howell, and Mrs. Howell, was invited by Mrs. Powers, the wife of tho presi dent of the senate, to an afternoon tgY in the latter’s apartments in the par liament building.
