The case carried to the Supreme court from Houston county,in which the court officers contended for the money arising from the hire of con victs, to be applied to their insolvent costs, since the abolishment of the ch ^gang, was dismissed last week. The case was based on a mandam- us against Judge Riley, of our coun ty court, to pay over the money in his hands received for the hire of Houston county convicts. The Su preme court held that the writ should have been against the county commissioners, and because of that alledged error the case was dismiss ed and the point at issue was not considered at all on its merits. The point raised by the Supreme court was not made in the pleadings before the court, nor was it contem plated by anybody connected with the case. Judge Felton had decided in cham bers that the Solicitors were entitled to their full costs out|of the convict hire, and this decision was reversed by the Supreme court. Houston county will not suffer in convenience because of the delay caused by the failure of the Supreme court to decide the point at issue. The money in question, about $700, is nont really in the hands of Judge Riley, but is in the county treasury under an agreement that it is sub ject to the court deision in this case, or another of like character. He WilFbe Hung. Last Thursday the Supreme court of Georgia rendered tardy decision in the Romulus Williams murder case, sustaining the verdict and judgment of the Houston Superior court, and refusing a new trial. Williams shot and killed Adam Hunnicut one night last winter, in the public road near the farm home of Mrs M. F. Tharpe, while return ing from a negro frolic. At the last April term of Houston Superior court he was convicted of murder, and sentenced to be hung on May 31st. On motion for a new trial, the case was carried to the Supreme court. Gevernor Candler granted a respite for 30 days. Later, the case having been argued, but not decided, Judge Felton granted a supercedias, pending the Supreme court decision. The original sentence having been diplaced, thn condemned man must be again sentenced in open court, and Judge Felton may come to Perry for that purpose this week. The execution cannot be nearer than 20 days to the day of sentence, and will doubtless be in August next, on the gallows within the en closure adjoining the rear end of the county jail. It has just been discovered that Admiral Schley has been treated outrageously in a history of the late war with. Spain, which was intended as a text book at the Anapolis Naval Academy. The book was written by E. S. Maclay, a clerk in the navy de partment. With reference to the Cuban campaign, and the battle of Santiago harbor, Schley is called a coward, and other harsh epithets are applied. It is said Sampson and others high in naval authority are in a measure responsible for this insult to one of the best officers of the na vy. The objectionable words have been ordered expunged. Good must come to Georgia polit ically in the multiplicity of prospect ive candidates for governor of the state. The men already mentioned are worthy and well qualified, and it goes without saying that no one less qualified need apply. It may be true that justice demands the selection of a south Georgia man, but section should not be the first considera tion. The best man should be chosen. The Valdosta Times has our sym pathy and admiration. Though the outfit was‘destroyed by fire last Thursday night, much other prop erty in the city being burned, a small issue of the paper was printed Saturday from a remnant of type on a job press. Even from ashes such pluck and energy will rise triumph ant. • . - ■ p W ■ Bubal free mail dehvery through- a. NrfVton county, Ga., will soon bam force.

July 22, 1901. —It seems to be a settledjdetcr- mination of those that control the railroad now being completed into Hawkinsville that the road in question be extended to Grova nia in Houston and thence to Fort Valley.
