Tells of Duel Kinsman, Col, Mc
Intosh. Won Over Man Famed
for Signature,
The Sunday American • eeerch for
a portrait of Button Gwinnett, one 01
Georgia'© three signer© of the Decla
ration of Independence, a search
mad© that the State © representation
In the national gallery of signer© be
not Incomplete, has resulted In the
location of the only known llkenes©
of Gwinnett In a private collection In
Philadelphia
It resulted, alao, In uncovering, by
a unique coincidence, an historical
fart concerning the life and death of
Button Gwinnett, the stalwart, trader
who waa Immortalized by hla signa
ture
The coincidence came in the course
of the local aearch. Every logical
source of information bad been In
vestigated In vain Then somebody
made a suggestion.
‘ Ask Mias Nina Homnday," he
said. "If anybody knows about Geor
gia history, It fa’she"
Straightway to Miss Ilornaday'a,
No 65 East Linden street went the
call.
"Why yes, I know of Button Gwin
nett," ©he said, nonchalantly, "my
great grandfather killed him In a
duel."
Then ©he told of the duel between
Colonel Lachlan McIntosh and the
Georgia signer, which came as a re
suit of a long political and personal
feud between the two men, and of
how Gwinnett, ©hot in the thigh, died
within a few days
It waa from another source, how
ever, that the information cam© that
Gwinnett's only known portrait la In
possession of Hampton L. Carson, a
Philadelphia lawyer.
The portrait 1© desired for display
In the rejuvenated old Independence
Hall in Philadelphia, where like
nesses of all 56 Hignera are to be
bung The historical building has
been completed In its old semblance,
except for the portraits of tlve sign
ers, of whom Gwinnett Is one.

The decision of the jurors furnished
a complete vindication of George W.
and John W. Collier, executors of the
big estate of the late Wesley G. t'ol-
Iler. Sanford (."oilier, brother of the
executor©, had alleged that hey took
advantage of him In the settlement of
the estate and inveigled him into
selling his share of the estate for
$18,000 when It in reality was worth
fully $4o,0d0.
The Jurors, after a deliberation of
nearly four hours and at the end of
a trial lasting five weeks, decided that
no fraud had been perpetrated.
The land involved 1© 300 acres near
Peachtree road Collier claimed his
brothers represented to him that the
entire estate could 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 its delivery. Court at
tache© say it was the longest charge
made in the history of the local Su
perior Court.
Only ten men were In the jnry
that brought in the verdict. One of
the original twelve men became ill on
the first day of the trial. Another

OLD-TIME DISTILLERY On AH Sunday Work
One Relic of the Past Is Still Busy
Producing Corn Liquor in Alabama
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 tha
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 w*s
considered to be a generally healthful
and palatable beverage.
By the newer modem method the dis
tilleries add what is known a* a cooker
to their equipment, and boll out the last
dror of juice from the corn, 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
wiio prefer the old-time article.
"Yes.' said Mr. Moore, proprietor of
tills old plant at Girard. Ala . "we are
satisfied to do It the old-fashioned way.
because we turn out so much better ar
ticle No, we charge no mare than the
others.
"Oh. yes. we will mall orders and pav
the express, too. Of oouree, unless a
n an really appreciates an old-time su
perior corn liquor, we don’t care for his
irad**. for we sell about all we can
make.
"However, anybody that wants to try
some of our Good Stuff Corn Liquor can
