MISS HORNADAY GIVES CLEW
Tells of Duel Kinsman, Col. Me'
Intosh. Won Over Man Famed
for Signature.
The Sunday American’* warch for
a portrait of Button Gwinnett, one 01
Georgia’s three et&nrrn of the Decla-
ration of Independence, a search
made that the State’s* representation
in the national gallery of signers he
not incomplete, has resulted In the
location of the only known like news
of Gwinnett in a private collection in
Philadelphia.
It resulted, also, in uncovering, by
a unique coincidence, an historical
fact concerning the life and death of
Button Gwinnett, the stalwart trader
who was immortalized by his signa
ture
The coincidence came in the course
of the local search. Every logical
source of information had been In
vestigated In vain. Then somebody
made a suggestion
Ask Miss Nina Hornaday,” he
•aid. ‘If anybody knows about Geor
gia history, it Is she.”
Straightway to Miss llornaday’s.
No 65 East Linden street, went the
call.
‘Why ves. 1 know of Button Gwin
nett.” she said, nonchalantly, “my
great grandfather killed him In a
duel.”
Then she told of the duel between
Colonel Lachlan McIntosh and the
Georgia signer, which came as a re
sult of a long political and personal
feud between the two men, and of
how Gwinnett, shot in the thigh, died
within a few days.
It was from another source, how
ever. that the information came that
Gwinnett’s only known portrait is In
possession of Hampton L. (‘arson, a
Philadelphia lawyer
The portrait is desired for display
In the rejuvenated old Independence
Hall In Philadelphia, where like
nesses of all 56 signers are to be
bung. The historical building has
been completed in its old semblance,
except for the portraits of five sign
ers, of whom Gwinnett is one.

vliiiTi the Judge Finds Executors Used No
Fraud in Buying Land Left
by Litigant’s Father.
A verdict for the defendants
brought an end to the long and bit
ter Collier wllL case late Saturday.
The decision of the jurors furnished
a complete vindication of George W.
nd John \V Collier, executors of the
big estate of the late Wesley G (‘ol
io r. S,infold Collier, brother of the
executors, had alleged that hey took
dvantago of him in the settlement of
the estate and inveigled him into
soiling his share of the estate for
$18,000 when it in reality was worth
fully $45,000.
The jurors, after a deliberation of
nearly four hours and at th£ end of
a trial lasting live weeks, decided that
no fraud had been perpetrated.
The land involved i«* 300 acres near
Peachtree road. Collier claimed his
brothers represented to him that the
entire estate cpuld not be apportioned
among the heirs at the time of the
settlement and that they imposed
upon his ignorance of land values to
obtain his share at not half of its
worth
Judge Ellis made his charge to the
Jury Saturday, consuming more than
two hours in Us delivery. Court* at
taches say it was the longest charge
made in the history of the local Su
perior '(’ourt
Only, ten men were in the jury
that brought in the verdict. One of
the original twelve men became ill on
the first day of the trial. Another

One Relic of the Past Is Still Busy
Producing Corn Liquor inAlabama
Alabama has one thing no other State
has that Is the only corn whisky dis
tillery of the old type so prevalent a
few decades ago In this case the
seeming lack of progress is real prog
ress, for by the old method the distiller
got only two and a half gallons of liq
uor from a bushel of corn and it was
considered to be a generally healthful
and palatable beverage
B\ the newer modern method the dis-
tilleries add what is known as a cooker
to their equipment, and bolt out the last
drop of juice from the com, getting as
much as five gallons to the bushel. But
the quality is said not to be so good
This old-time distillery is busy every
day turning out corn liquor for people
who prefer the old-time article
"Yes.” said Mr Moore, proprietor of
this old plant at Girard. Ala . "we are
satisfied to do it the old-fashioned way.
because we turn out so much better ar
te le No, we charge no more than the
others.
”Oh, yes. we will mall orders and pav
the express, too. Of course, unless a
i! an really apprec iates an old-time su
perior corn liquor, we don’t care for his
trade, for we sell about all we can
make.
