NEWS OF A DAY IN GEORGIA’S CAPITAL RESPITE for jack bone ms BEES granted by the gov ernor. This I* t< Enable a Commlialon to I'axa Upon the Question of Ilia Sanity—Physicians Will Pass Upon the Case—lf Insane Bone Will Not' lie Hanged, But Will Be Sent to the Asylum. Atlanta, Dec. 17.—Gov. Terrell to day respited Jack Bone of Rome, sen tenced to be hanged Monday for the murder of Zach Hall, until Jan. 13, for the purpose of giving time for inquiry to be made into the question of his sanity. Several affidavits were presented to the Governor from reputable people, going to show that Bone is mentally unbalanced. The Governor will, there fore, in accordance with the act of 1903, appoint a commission of physi cians to inquire into Bone’s mental condition. If this commission reports that he is sane he will be hanged with out further proceedings; if insane, he will be sent to the asylum until he recovers, when the sentence of the court may be executed. This is the third case which the Gov ernor has acted on under the law of 1903, which does not permit a person convicted of a capital crime to appeal to the courts after conviction on the ground of insanity. JjUH.tcOO From Fertiliser Fees. Commissioner of Agriculture O. B. Stevens has paid into the treasury $61,- 000 from fertilizer inspection fees for the year 1904, the last payment of $lO,- 000 having been made yesterday. This means the inspection of 610,000 tons of fertilizers, all of which has been sold in Georgia during the year, an increase of nearly 200,000 tons over last year. The oil inspection fees turned into the treasury will amount to an additional SIO,OOO from the same department. Mr*. Goliay Was la Jacksonville.

Makes Them Superstitions. The negroes of Atlanta are in a stew over the disappearance of an old negro named Bill Render, 60 years old. Render was last seen going into the Atlanta Medical College, and has not since been located. Superstitious ne groes are avoiding the college, though it Is located near one of their set tlements. Asa matter of fact, It is stated, Render went to the college to be treated for some ailment, accom panied by another negro. He went out another door from that by which he entered and his companion missed him. He is a simple-minded negro and is supposed to be wandering some where around the city. To Increase Its Capital. Secretary of State Phil Cook to-day granted an amendment to the charter of the Sea Island Bank of Statesboro, permitting it to Increase Its capital stock from $25,000 to $50,000. FAVORS ARBITRATION.

PHONE US AND OUR REPRESENTATIVE WILL CALL Good News From the East The vice president of one of the largest rubber concerns In this coun try paid us a visit last week. He noted that we still had the AUTOCAR AGENCY and remarked that he was in Ardmore, Pa., the previous week, and placed his order for a Type Eleven Autocar. We desired to know Why, as we also knew that it would be impossible for him to have other tires than those made by a RIVAL TIRE CONCERN. His statement in substance was as follows; “I have been using a 30-35 11. P. Touring Car of Standard make the past season, but I desired a Car that Was FOOL PROOF and that the up-keep, would be small. I knew the past reputation of AUTOCARS, and I also knew their Manufacturer, Mr. Spears, whom I consider the best con nected with the trade. I consider the type Eleven AUTOCAR the BEST American production.’’ THE FIRST TYPE ELEVEN AU TOCAR will reach us about Jan. 15, ’O6.
