Sumter county is awarded the cash i | prize of $350 offered by the Atlanta j | Constitution for the best stretch of j j good roads traversed by cars making ; the recent endurance run from South ! Georgia to Atlanta. The award, long 1 delayed, was made by the Albany com mittee yesterday,, and Sumter wins. This distinction is attained by vir tue of the fine road between Americus and the Gee county line and generally known as the Smithville road. Mr. Frank Sheffield, chairman of the board of county commissioners, was advised yesterday by Mr. .1. A. Davis of Albany, chairman of the committee on aw'ard, that Sumter had been voted the prize for the best; stretch of road. From the very first it was generally conceded that the prize would be given Sumter, but official action in making the award has been delayed by lack of promptness upon the part of the observers accompanying the ] ears on the long run to Atlanta in j filing their reports-with the Albany] committee. This has at last been done, and] Sumter pulls the plum. The distinction thus attained is a hundred fold greater than the mere monetary value, as it advertises to the world the fact that Sumter county has the finest highways in all southern and middle Georgia. This will attract attention of many people desiring to make realty investments. The counties traversed by the cars on the good roads run to Atlanta were Dougherty, Sumter, Macon.

WOMAN IS INNOCENT IN BELIEF OE FRIENDS. Interest in Wardlaw I rial Manifested. There are many people in the South, : particularly In Georgia, who feel the I greatest amount of interest in the de j teution of Miss Virginia Wardlaw, in i New York city, for the alleged mur der of her niece, Mrs. Ocey Snead Mrs. Snead was the daughter of a sis ter of Miss Wardlaw. Mrs. Snead’s grandfather, who was the father of Miss Wardlaw, was the Rev. John Wardlaw, formerly a mem ber of the South Georgia conference and for fifty years one of its most val ued members. Mar Wardlaw was not looked upon as a brilliant ma- but one whose faitb ■■nd nobleness c 5 jlife did more good niong his fellov men than brilliancj could ever have accomplished. Hi: orae was in Oglethorpe, Ga.. durinr he last years of his life spent ii leorgia. He died in Cbriutlanburg, Va., in 896. Mrs. Wardlaw, his widow-, if till alive and has been a recipient iuee Ills death of a portion of the Touth Georgia conference fund to re- Teve the distress of the widows of de eased ministers. Although the pastor’s salaries -ever permitted an expensive educa tion to bo had by their children, yet he sacrifices continually made and -he training of the mother secured 'or them an education which few have enjoyed and which proved broad tud thorough In its scope. There are many who recall Rev. Tohn Wardlaw and cannot but think hat some mistake has been made in the detention of his duaghter. They were given the surroundings of a pure Christian life, upon which to model ther own, and they were all reared carefully and guardedly. Mrs. Mary Snead, the mother of Fletcher Snead, has paid a warm trib ite to Miss Wardlaw and refuses to believe that she is in any way con nected with the tragedy. The out come of the mystery will be eagerly awalted by hundreds of Georgians. Priced a $20.00 suit to a custom* , 'or SIO.OO. He said: “I will take twe of them.” Pinkston Co. ..

As the result of resignations and expiration of terms of office, just one half the entire board of education will rhave to be elected in March next. This is a rather unusual condition, as rarely has it occurred that more than three members of this body are li elected at any annual meeting. The board consists of twelve mem bers, besides the mayor, who by vir • tue of this office is ex-officio member, and just half the regular number will be elected in March. Those members whose term of office l expire at that time are Messrs. W. P. Wallts, George A. Tufpin and J. B. Hudson. The three others whose places are to be filled are Messrs Frank A. Hooper, J. E. Mathis and W I * I E. Brown. | The vacancy in Mr. Hooper’s seat ' will be occasioned by his removal tu Atlanta. Mr. J. E. Mathis was elect ed a year or two since to fill the un expired term of some member, which term ends in March, while Mr. W. E. Brown will resign the board of educa tion upon assuming the duties of al derman. The city council elects all members of the board of education. It is quite likely that several of the j ’ half dozen gentlemen whose terms ex pire in March will consent to re-elec- II tion. Mr. Brown, as treasurer of the j board for many years, has rendered I most valued service and his co-work ers there will deeply regret to lose him in that department. Already the annual meeting of the , board of education in March is being . discussed among those who are great , iy interested therein. BUSINESS IS ENDED IN fcOURT FOR SESSION. * Busy Term of Two Woeks Has Closed. ; , Judg* Littlejohn yesterday morn ing, after disposing of the motion locket in superior court, formally ad journed the fall term after a busy session of two weeks. The grand jury 'nished its labors on Wednesday and adjourned, after a remarkably short session of only eight dayß. During the two weeks of court Judge Little john disposed of a very large volume ->f business, both on the civil and criminal sides, including many cases of importance on each docket. The case of the city versus the local light ing company consumed nearly a day in its trial and was among the impor ! tant ones heard at this term. Upon J the criminal side the docket was a very heavy one, there being nearly a ! score of prisoners in jail at the begin ning of the session, besides arrests that followed indictments by the grand jury. One negro, Henry Patterson, was sentenced to hang on January 4 ! for the murder of Capt. W. F. Mcßee, while a dozen others were given sen j tences in the penitentiary and chain , gang for lesser crimes.
