GWALTNEY’S POSITION.
Floyd School Board Acquits Su
perintendent of Charges
Preferred.
RoME,Ga , May 30.—The county j
board of education met today to
consider the charges of immorality
alleged against County School I
Commissioner J. D. Gwaltney.
The board consists of C. R. Nor
ton, chairman; I. D. Gailla, John
Salmon, Alex White, W. I. Griffin.
They were in session nearly all ■
day, and the charges were probed |
to the bottom.
At the close of the meeting this
afternoon the following resolution';
were given out by the board :
“Whereas the board has used the
best efforts at its command to ob
tain information in regard to
charges preferred against J. D.
Gwaltney, county commissioner,
and find nothing to justify action
against him, be it
“Resolved that he be retained as
county school commissioner.”
There were petitions before
the board signed by nearly every
male and female teacher of the
county requesting the board to
retain Mr. Gwaltney as commis
sioner.
The case against him was called ,
in justice court yesterday, but no ,
prosecution appearing, it is said
the warrant was dismissed. Many (
vague rumors are in circulation,
but no one vitally interested in j
the case seems inclined to talk. It ,
is said that the case was settled ,
by a payment of the money, the ,
amount which is variously report- (
ed for the maintenance of the child
and mother. There is no notable ,
evidence on which to base this re
port, however.
During summer we are liable to
Stomach and Bowel troubles, such
as Diarrhoea, Colic, Cramps, etc.,
for which Dr. M. A. Simmons’ Liver (
Medicine is highly recommended.
OPEN REBELLION FOUND. 1
Strong Evidence of Revolution in 1
Havana. 1
Havana, May 31. —The military '
administration has been informed (
that a conspicuous leader of the
late military assembly recently
collected thirty centens from a
wealthy Spanish merchant in this
city, representing that it was a ’
contribution to a revolutionary
fund.
The merchant gave the money
on the assurance that it would se
cure him a favorable status with
the possible future government 1
Then in order to secure favor with 1
the Americans, he revealed to them ‘
what he knew.
The extent, design and cause of |
the proposed rebellion are only ,
known to the Americans through
this informant, and whether there ■
is any further foundation for the
suggestion cannot be ascertained j
from the merchant, as he was told ,
that nothing would be attempted
for several months.

The Famous “Bloody Day.”
May 9, 1864, was a day of Stir
ling action in four separate fields
I of operations in Virginia and Geor
gia. It is known as “Bloody day.”
Three armies in Virginia, directed
! by Grant and Sherman’s armies in
Georgia were engaged at ten di
ferent points. Only at Spottsyl
vania, where the forces led by Lee
and Grant in person had met the
day before with a terriffic crash,
was there a cessation of desperate
l fighting. Grant found Loe across
his pathway behind intrenchmsnts
never to be overthrown and passed
the day in locating lines and guns.
But the equivalent of the blood
of a thousands men was poured
out at Spotsylvania when Major
General John Sedgwick of the
Sixth corps was shot dead by a
sharpshooter. It is no discourtesy
to others to say that he was the
best known and best loved com
mander killed at the head of his
corps in the Army of the Potomac.
He it was who rushed his division
across floating bridges on the
Chickahominy at Fair Oaks. He
helped make “Bloody lane” of
gory fame at Antietam ; he storm
ed and captured Marye’s heights at
Fredericksburg and marched his
corps 35 miles in 24 hours to keep
an appointment at Gettysburg on
July 2. There was mourning in
the camp when “Uncle John fell.
All the Union operations in Vir
ginia on May 9 were aimed at Rich
mond. General Kautz’s cavalry
raiders, sweeping from the black
water to James’ forced the passes
of Nottoway river and joined But
ler’s army, which that day moved
out against the defenses of Rich
mond on the south. At daylight
that morning Sheridan’s ten thous
and stood to horse on the Rich
mond turnpike, forming a column
13 miles long, h laded for the Con
federate capital. At the crossing
of North Anna river both Wilson’s
and Merrit’s divisions fought with
Stuart’s troopers.
In the advance on Dalton Sher
man’s armies encountered Johns
ton’s, posted behind Rocky Faced
ridge. Four army corps, includ
ing Hooker’s Howard’s and Scho
field’s, fought for the passes or
mountain crests. Five desperate
Federal assaults were repulsed by
the Confederates. White this was
going on Joe Wheeler and Edward
M. McCook, the fighting trooper
of the famous Limi'y, crossed sab
ers in a lively combat on the flank
of the armies. Wheeler won the
day. Away in the southwest cor
ner of Virginia the Confederate
troops had their main salt works,
and on May 9 two columns under!
Crook and Averell were marching,
to destroy them. Fleet John Mor
gan was there too. Sending a
brigade to help stand off Crook, !
he played hide and seek with Av- ,
erell all day, bringing him to bat-1
tie and defeat on the 10th. This'
was Morgan’s only campaign in
Virginia; also the first after his!
famous escape from the Ohio pris
on. The value of Morgan’s pic
turesque raids has been quetioned, i
but he saved the salt of the Con
federacy all right on May 9, 1864.

What Old Maids Are.
A recent writer thus gracefully
defines maiden ladies: “The unde
livered packages at the express of
fice. They were originally intend
ed for somebody; but the parties
to whom they were addressed have
never appeared,or else they had
the wrong address, or the address
somehow got obliterated. Often
very valuable parcels, which would
have given great joy if they had
been delivered to the proper con
signee.”
Apt Quotations.
Proverbs, axioms and wise say
ings have been uttered by Confu
cius and other wise men from time
immemorial, but few people realize
how many there are of them. "C. I.
Hood & Co., of Sarsaparilla fame,
have over two thousand and they
have originated the ingenious plan
of serving them up in delectable
shape in thousands of newspapers,
with each one neatly turning a
point as tq the merit of their well
known medicine. The extensive
use of these proverbs is original
and creditable to Hood & Co.
Miss M.T. Hohenbake, Harlem,
Ga., writes: “Dr. M. A.Simmons’
Liver Medicine did me more good
than anything I ever used for Tor
pid Liver. I think it far excels
Zeilin’s and Black Draught in
strength and mildness of action.”
