TEXT OP-THE PROTOCOL.
Spanish-American War at an End.—The
Peace Terms.
protocol signed between Spain and the United
to all sovereignty
Annie Byrd Skipped.
Annie Byrd, who was the principal
witness tor the defense in the Roark
case, and who was indicted by the
grandjury for two offenses, skipped out
last Sunday and left her bondsmen in
the lurch. The case was called in the
city court Monday but she did not ap
pear. Her bond was signed by her
mother and a Mr. Jones of Atlanta.
Annie Byrd is a notorious character
and she has been the cause of much
trouble here. It is to be hoped that
she will stay away as a penalty as heavy
as she deserves could not be imposed
with the charges against her. There is
no room in Gainesyille for such dis
reputable characters as this Byrd wo
man is.
