Sheriff John Ward of Crisp has a son, aged 12, whose name is also John, and to take it from those who know, John, Jr. is some sleuth himself. On several occasions Sheriff Ward has put the responsibility on Johms it to do the detective role and he has never fallen short of the responsibili vy - Sheriff Ward, Deputy J. ;‘\l.{ Cox, and J. F. McGarity, who hus‘ been serving as one of the bailiffs in superior court, took an muomobile! ride Thursday night to the home of Josh Wiggins, immediately northwes},‘ of the city, just beyond Seven Springs in an effort to apprehend a negro wo man for whom the sheriff held a war rant, John wanted to go too, and the sheriff consented, thinking that per haps he would be of some service. The negro’s home was reached and while Cox and young Ward kept a wateh on the outside, Sheriff Ward and McGarity went into the house. The sheriff had been informed that liquor was being sold there and he also intended to make an investiga tion along that line as well as look ing for the negro woman. When the presence of himself and deputies be came known, there was a stir among the occupants of the house and things began to happen in rapid order. ~As John, Jr., stood under the eaves of the house keeping watch, he heard a window being raised on the second story. Then he discovered a hand grip coming down at the end of a rope. ilt was forced open and discovered ‘to contain liguor in half pints. A ‘negro woman was at the other end of 'thc rope, but it was not the one for whom the sheriff was looking.

C., May 19.-~The sen ate today passed without a record vote, the Bankhead good road bill ap propriating $85,000,000 to aid the states in the construction of good recads. The bill as introduced called for an appropriation of $75,000,000 for construction of roads in national for est was adopted. the house was searched, she could not be found. Sheriff Ward had suspicion that:-the Wiggins negro was selling liquor prei ty much on the wholesale scale, and he was not' satisfied at finding the small amount that the grip contained. He forced an entrance into a closet on the second floor, and there found seventy-five halif pints and took charge of it. Pretty good liquor, too, the sheriff said, but, of course, he was gO- ing by the brand. The liquor is now securely locked in the county jail, where the sheriff is holding it for ev idence against Wiggins. The negro was not at home and has not yet been arrested. In event of his apprehen sion he will be immediately lodged in the county jail. Wiggins is an old offender on the blind tiger charge. He has been ar raigned before the city recorder no less than a dozen times for the illegal practice. During the past year or so, the police force made it so hot for the tigers that Josh's operations were limited. He concluded to escape the jurisdiction of the police force and he bhuilt a house just beyond the city limits. where he doubtless intended to carry on the sale of liquor, together with other vices, but Sheriff Ward is determined that he and others who are inclined along the same lines shall show as much respect for the law of the state as he does for the law of the city. 3 Wiggin, while returning from Jack sonville with a new supply, which he tried to drop off the train at Wenona yesterday, found himself suspected and on striking growid, he ran. He made good his escape, while his bag gage was left for the inspection of the officers. .There were 120 pints in the valise alone. . rade ever known in the history of the nation. General Wood was hailed as one of the heroes of the day.

DEPOSITS INSURED FOR SECURITY. Mayor Jones has brought before the city council the fact that the city now has on deposit in the four banks of the city, over $27,000 being the sink ing fund required by law, to be kept to retire maturing bonds. On the sug gestion of the mayor each of the banks, Cordele National, American National, Exchange and Citizens’ bank filed with the clerk and treasurer bonds in the sum of $B,OOO each. These bonds secure to the city its funds, as the state and county funds are se cured. Mayor Jones explained, that the city had no protection against loss, that the money handled by the banks for the city, was simply a straight loan, and, that the city merely held the 1. O. U. of the banks and nothing more, “It will be about seven years before the city has any more bonds to retire,” said the mayor, “and this sinking fund is growing every year, and it is noth ing out r'eht, certainly good busiress, tc have this city fun! fully protectel: as the state and county protect their fonds. It was perfectly agreeable with the banks although 'it costs a small premium to the city each year to carry this protection. 'We insure the city property against loss of fire, why not insure our funds, by guaran ty bonds?” said the mayor. “ I be lieve that a city like Cordele ought to be run on business principles, and let us be about our part of the work as public officials of the right kind.” MORE TEACHERS NAMED IN SCHOOLS CITY BOARD OF EDUCATION HAS NAMED SEVERAL MORE TEACH ERS TO FILL VACANCIES.
