of various nationalities and denom

Among those in perfect condition
is a flfty-cent piece of Uncle Sam’s

much from the half dollar of today,
the Goddess of Liberty being a much
better looking and more reposeful
lady, and instead of the milling on
the rim are the words, “fifty cents."
In the collection are a number of

TURNER HAVING TROUBLE.
Over Contracts for Bridge Materiel
Given Indiana Parties.
From the Ashburn Farmer.
Since Judge Cox’s charge to the
recent grand jury on the matter of
lotting county contracts for bridge
and other material without fallowing
tho forms prescribed by law, inter*
est in the matter has remained hij?h
nnd tKis was increased during the
past few dnys when it was reported
that a writ of prohibition has been
applied for to prevent tho county
authorities from making payment*
on contracts made or pending with
some iron company in Indiana.
It was reported that a hearing
was to have been had before Judge
Cox on the matter at Camilla.
As no papers have yet been filed
in the office of the Clerk of the Su
perior Court, it is not possible tc
give a resume of the allegations of
facts contained in the petition at
this time.
It is further reported that some
good citizens have discussed the ad
visability of organizing a citizens'
committee nnd having counsel look
after tho matter from the Stand
point of the taxpayers of the coun
ty, in view of tho fact that some of
tho county commissioners who are
defending tho case are themselves
under charges of some kind in this
connection, as stated by Judge Cox.
In tho interest of good govern
ment, and tho public welfare the
pcoplo should be given the full fact?
in the matter.

IMPROVING NATIONAL.
Lowndes Has Completed Work to
Brooks County Lino.
Work on tho National Highway,
from Valdosta to the county line, to-
ward Madison, has been completed,
says tho Valdosta Time*.,
Madison county is buiiding the
rond from Madison toward Valdosta.
With th* Lowndes county end of the
road completed this leaves a short
stretch through Brooks county
known as “the finger” which is in
bad shape. Brooks county does not
care to work this little stretch of
road, as it Is botween Madison and
Valdosta and docs not lead to any
point in Brooks county. This one bad
stretch will be, after Madison coun
ty finishes work on its end of the
road, the only disagreeable pait of
the road from Madison to Valdosta.
