TOOK FIRST PREMIUM AT FLORIDA STATE FAIR. THE WILLIAMS BUGSY COMPANY. In the United States distriot court at Macon last week, Mr. Henry G. Hardison of near Byron was acquit ted of conspiracy to defraud the fed eral government. The specific charge was complicity in the substitution of peach brandy on which the reve nue tax had not been paid for corn whiskey on which the tax had been paid. In October,1900, two barrels stamped corn whiskey, in the ware house at Mr. Hardison’s distilleary near the Crawford county line, were found to contain peach brandy. At the time a negro named Mathews was the government storekeeper and gauger at the distillery, and about that time another negro named Grace was a substitute during the temporary absence of Mathews. Mr. Hardison contended that he knew nothing of the substitution of the brandy for the whiskey, but that Mathews and another negro named Da\is had conspired to injure him "because of a joint grievance against him. The testimony of Mr. Hardi sou and his friends was believed and he was acquitted, on Wednesday of last week. His many friends in Houston congratulate him on the outcome of the case. Ik Atlanta next Tuesday, Februa ry 17th, there will be a meeting of prominent Georgians,including may ors and county commissioners, to consider ways and means of adver tising the advantage^ and resources of the state. The movement is most commendable, and properly conduct ed will induce much valuable immi gration to Georgia. In this way several western states were material ly benefitted, and now every citizen of the state should be ready and ea gar to assist in the movement to promote “Greater Georgia. Some of the republican senators have been in decidedly bad humor since last Friday. John D. Rocke feller, the standard oil chief, tele graphed several senators that the anti-trust measure under considera tion was objectionable to him, and must not pass; It is now declared that the senators are angry not be cause the telegrams were sent by Rockefeller, but because they were made public bj direction of the president.
