' " “Again, tlie graduated increase of penalty involves the making up of three penalty books instead of one as heretofore and will tend to complicate and confuse the accounts with the treasurers, and will make it almost impossible to obtain accurate balances in making up the amiual settlements. Furthermore, the making up of these .several penalty books during the time of taking returns for the ensuing year, imposes a task upon the auditors vhich is well nigh a physical impossi bility.

The Augusta Chronicle aays a white man, aged atmut thirty years, was found dead on the outgoing Central train of Wednesday morning, just after leaving Waynesboro. Conductor Thomas m^ie the discovery when he approached the man to collect his ticket. On his person were found piipers which identified him as James Finney, of Herndon, Ga. Two tickets, good for passages from Herndon to Augusta and return were also found. Captain Thomas remembered that the man'was put on the train at Augusta by four white men. They remarked that he ought to lie watched, as he was about to develop a case of “mon keys.” Passengers noticed that he seemed to tie in pain, complained a great deal, and repeatedly asked for water. He did not seem to be deeply under thejlnfluence of liquor. Killed In Mexico. * G. II.
