THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 1891. WYNNE’S SHORTAGE IN CONNECTION WITH THE ALU ANCE EXCHANGE. President Peek's Statement Not Sub.t lint I atcd by the Books of the Alliance Kx- change—The Exchange Lost #5,000 Last Year—Importaut Figures. Atlanta, August 14.—It looks as If Agent J. O. Wynne has been made a ffcape-goat for the Alliance Exchange. And future developments will probably carry out this theory. President Peek made a statement in the morning paper which is flatly con tradicted by his own books. The exchange, by President Peek’s re port, made ten thousand dollars last year. The truth is it lost five thousand dollars. There is no doubt but that Agent Wynne could a tale unfold, and he will very likely do it if a criminal prosecu tion is pushed. For this reason Presi dent Peek may decide to let matters alone. Yesterday it was stated that the bondsmen refused to make good the shortage, on the ground that President Peek deceived them as to Mr. Wynne’s accounts when the second bond was executed; that at that time Mr. Wynne was $10,000 short. President Peek says that the short age at that time was only about $3,000, and be didn’t know about it because Mr. Wynne's notes were charged up as cash. Just here President Peek’s own books talk: On April 10, 1800, J. O. Wynne is credited with a note to the exchange for $2,007.08. The word “note” is written plainly as could be. On July 10, 1800, he Is credited with a “note” for $201>0.02. On October 01, 1800, the end of the fiscal year, Wynne gave an additional “note,” so entered in the books of the exchange, for $4,289.20. This last is en tered in the hooks as a “noto to balance account for that year.” All this was plainly wiitten out, and was there when President Peck made his “investiga tion” and reported to the bondsmen that Mr. Wynne’s accounts were all right. This makes Mr. Wynne’s shortage, covered by notes to the exchange, $9,287.20 when President Peek made that report. Hut President Peek says it was only three thousand, and these figures are pounced upon because Mr. Wynne sub sequcntly paid about six thousand dol lars. After tho payment of all theso notes Wynne was still owing $3,900 on his shortage for the fiscal year ending Octo ber 31,1890. According to these figures Wyuno’s bondsmen could not, under any circum stances, bo held for more than $3,900 ou his shortage for the first year. As to the shortage for the secoud fis cal year, the bondsmen declare they are not liable, as tho bond is made iuvalid on account of a misstatoraentfrom Pres ideut Peck. But the bondsmen will not even pay the $3,900, and they say they will show sufficient reasons for not doing so when the propor time comes. In the face of all these interesting features Mr. Wynne has doubtless not told all he knows about the alliance ex change and its management. He is probably waiting for President Peek to mako a move. Will the president move? Happy llooslere. Wm. Timmons, postmasterol Idaville, lud., writes: “Electric Hitters has done moro for me than all other medicines combined, for that bad feeling arising from kidney and liver trouble.” John Leslie, farmer and stockman, of same place, says: “Fiud Electric Bitters to bo the best kidney and liver medicine, made me feel like a now man.” J. W. Gardner, hardware merchant, same town, says: Electric Bitters is just the thing for a man who is all run down and non’t care whether he lives or dies; he found new strength, good appetite and felt just like he had a new lease ou life.

He Easily Prove* HI- Innocence and U Cleared of the Charge of Arson. Shortly after the fire which burned a large portion of Buena Vista, in July last, Mr. J. L. Wilson, one of the par ties burned out, was arrested, charged with burning the buildings. A case of shoes from Mr. Wilson’s store was found in a negro house near bis plantation a few miles from town, and other suspicious circumstances, to gether with a heavy insurance, led the people to believe that Mr. Wilson was guilty of setting fire to his store. He was arrested, but gave bond, and the case came up before the superior court, which met in that place this week. At the time of the arrest there was considerable feeling against Mr. Wilson, and many people thought him guilty; but on the trial he easily showed that the case of shoes found In the negro house were some that he had sold to a merchant at Pineville, and had sent them out by the negro the day before. It was also proven that the fire did not originate in his housc,butiuau adjoining store; and besides this, Mr. Wilson proved a clear alibi, as it was shown where he was from 0 o’clock in tho even ing until the time of the fire. The proof of his innocence was so overwhelming that ho was promptly dls charged at the conclusion of the testi mony. The case created considerable interest throughout tho county, and the people feel that a great wrong has been done Mr. Wilson, who belongs to ono of the best families iu the county. Coming to the Front. Among the coming firms of the city may be mentioned one composed of two of our brightest and steadiest young men, Messrs. Ashley Thompson and U. G. Anderson, who are to occupy a beau tiful store in the new hotel on Septem ber 1. Thompson A Anderson are making every preparation to make their store one of the most attractive ever seen in Georgia. A special tiled floor of exquis ite beauty will be laid in their store, and a burglar prrof vault will give ample security to their valuables, while the gas and electric chandeliers combined will be of rare beauty. As evidence of their wide-awake style of business, it may be mentioned that they have been awarded the contract for supplying the silverware for the now hotel, .and will also furnish' tho clocks that will grace the oflice, parlor and din ing-room. Mr. Anderson has been north some time selecting the fixtures, as well as the stock, and the former were shipped on the 13th. Look out for the display of their open ing day about September 5. A special announcement will be made in due time.
