WHAT'S THE NAME? ASKED PRES. WEST OF WM. T. JEROME Bptclal to The Georgian. ThomMVlIIe, Ga.. July 16.—A very evident attempt, It Is believed, Is being made to poison the family of Mrs. Alice Futch, at their home seven miles from Thomasvllle, near Metcalf; As many as twenty-one people were made sick by poison In one day last week. At flint it was thought that the sickness might have resulted from some weed that the cows had eaten, but almost every one of the eltlre number who ale dinner at the home Friday are still sick, though none have yet died. The family has been made sick four times during the past six weeks, and though they had feared some attempt was be ing made to poison them, they had taken no deflnlte steps to trace out ths matter. Family Physician Pois&ned. Last Friday, Dr. A. P. Taylor, of Thomasvllle, a member of the state board of health, was called to attend Mrs. Futch, who had been attacked with a peculiar.Illness on WeVesday. He waa Invited to stay for dinner and did so. There were several other guests present, nmong whom was Rev. T. A. White, a prominent Baptist min ister of Thomasvllle; also Mrs. J. C.

Taylor was so sick on his way back to Thomasvllle that ha could hardly get home.

The famous New Yorker, District Attorney William T.

Poison Probably in Milk. The negro families on the place sent over to the house In the afternoon and asked for t some milk. Every one of them who tasted the milk was sick. It is concluded from this that the poison must have been put into the milk, from which the bread was made. Dr. Taylor states that tho effect of the poison gives evidence that it must have been phosphorus or some similar poison, the effect of which Is cumula tive. On this account he cannot hope that the end has yet been realized. The Futches aro among the most prominent families In the county. They are unable to ascribe any cause for the attempt on their lives, they having had no disturbance with the negroes on the place.
