chain, and exclaimed: “Id we've got
the goods on you.”
:“How’d you get that? asked the
negro. ¢« f .
-“Never mind,” saiqd the sheriff,
“Come 'clean with the story of how
y'ou' killed this couple last Saturday
nighf." !
.~ Was Hunting
Then: the negro, according to the
sheriff, paused for a few minutes. He
finally said that he was hunting in
the woods and came up to the road
just at dusk, carrying his shotgun.
He said that he was not going to his
home, his wife living at the scene of
the old convict camp, not far away,
but was going to the home of Alberta
Pitts, where he haq been staying
lately.
The sheriff said that the negro said
that as he reached the road ke saw
the automobile, which had been turn
ed around, and in which the couple
was seated, chatfing, ; ‘
“The man in the car asked me what
1 was doing with that gun?” the ne-;
gro was quoted as saying. |
faigte |
; “I'se, been hunting rabbits,” he said
he replied.
Wilson, according to the negro, then
rald, “sweetheart hand me my pistol;
I think he’s up to something else.”
The negro, the sheriff said, admit_
ted that no pistol was flashed, but
he sajd that Le blazed away at close
range at the head of Wilson.
‘lt was a single-barreled shotgun otl
16 gauge, the weapon having been
foung Thursday in the home of Al
berta Pitts. |
“Why did you shoot the girl?” the
sheriff asked the negro. l
“I thought she was going to shoot
me,” the negro is quoted as replying.
" The sheriff reminded the negro that
he had a single_barreled gun and that
he had to reload the weapon, and if
the young woman had wanted to shoot
him, she could have done so quickly,
He agreed that such was the case,
but he said that he hastily shoved a
chell into the gun and he shot a sec
ond time at her. He said she was
seatod at the steering wheel at the
time and threw up her hands as he
shot.
The negro insisted that he walked
away from the scene after gathering
up a number of articles, the hand bag
and hat which were hanging at the
front of the car, the man’s hat which
he said was on the running board,
the shoes, which he pulled from the
feet of the young woman as they pro
truded from the open door, and he
snatched the watch, because the chain
showed through the open door, and
he took the umbrella, which was in
the back of the car, to help hide the
articles, he said.
The negro said he had walked
across the road and started on a pri
vate road that lead to the RoysteH
Guano plant, near where Alberta Pitts
lived.
Looking back, he said, he saw the
coupe, containing the bodies being
driven across the main highway and
down toward the swamps. He sai(l{
that an Essex car containing two men
and a woman passed along the high

| That Glover was making plans ‘tor‘
la getaway was said to have been dis
closed in the sheriff's investigation.
r»The negro had been at his own homé
or at Albarta Pitts’ home Wednesglay
or Thursday, and they found thai‘ he
disappeared on Tuesday. 2
The negro sent -back’word to have
;hls blood stained clothing washed and
a change of clothing sent to him,
1 'Thursday night the negress started
with a bundle of clean clothing for
Glover. They were to meet on the
Iroad some distance from the scene.
;The officers working on the case pass
}ed Glover on the roadside, but did not
recognize him.” As they reached the
‘negress she became f{rightened and
‘threw the bundle of clothing into an
automobile near Price’s store on the
Millegeville road.
Doubling back, after cutting out
their lights, the deputies found Glov

U. S. WAR LOANS
TO FRANCE GONE
WASHINGTON, July 16.—(!P)—-!
America has given France more gen-|
erous debt terms than has England
or any other creditor. Secretary‘
Mellon told the World today in a
formal statemeni, issued just as hcl
departed on a vecation tri_p to South '
ern Europe.
In cffect, Mr. Mellon declared, the
United States }las cancelled out of |
France’s obligations for advances
made during the war and is actually
getting a return, under its agreement
with France, of only those loan:
made after the armistice.
The Treasury Secretary explained
that his sudden declaration was oc
casioned by the ‘“‘erroneous compari.
sons in the American press of the
‘British-French settlement and the
‘American-French setlement.
It was regarded as an answer
published reports from Paris that
the new French government migh!
seek modification of the Americar
debt agreement as a result of the
terms in the British-I'rench settle
ment.
Mr. Mellon, who is chairman of
the Debt Commission, already hat
served notice that the commissior
has washed its hands of the Frenct
debt when it signed the agreement
with Ambasador Berenger that it
was entirely in the control of Con:
gress,
Explaining that the United State:
and Great Britain made their debt
settlements with France on differ
ent lines, Mr. Mellon said: “If how ‘
ever, we compare the settlement of
all of France’s indebtedness to Eng |
land with the scttlement of her in |
debtedness to America, France ha:
had generous ircatment from us.”

Car owners have never been able to buy tire mileage at so low a cost per mile as
they ean buy Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires today. And never hefore have they
been able to buy tires so comfortable,
‘safe and trouble free. - -
This is possible because of the highly skilled
rescarch engineers who have developed special
machinery and processes for manufacturing
Gum-Dipped Tires, combined with economi
cal national distribution through efficient
Service Dealers, many equipped with the
latest Firestone methods of repairing High
Pressure, Full-Size Balloon, Bus and Truck

AMERICANS SHOULD PRODUCE THEIR OWN RUBBER.. W“m
ICienCy on the Farm
From 1910 to 1920 American farm labor increased in efficiency
over 22 percent. During that time the number of farm workers
decreased 9 percent—hut the crop production INCREASED
OVER 11 PERCENT. Greater use of POWER AND MODERN
MACHINERY IS LAGRELY RESPONSIBLE, which proves
“GOOOD EQUIPMENT MAKES A GOOD FARMER BETTER"”
a truth that is applicable to any period.
