IS FATALLY SHOT
l\
BULLETIN
Atlanta, Nov. 15—(By the
Associated Press.)—Mrs. Rob
ert Stewart died here this
morning.
Her husband was not at
the bedside, having gone home
to assist in apprehending the
men who** did the shooting.
He says he recognized the five
men and will swear gut war
rants.
Atlanta, Nov. 15.—Following a
relapse early last night, Mrs.
Robert Stewart, wife of Rev. Rob
ert. Stewart, Methodist minister
at Draketown, a village near Dal
las, Ga., is near death in a hos
pital here from bullet wounds re
ceived Tuesday night when she in
terferred with a band of men at
tempting to abduct her husband.
Mrs. Stewart is in the hospital
paralyzed and unable to speak.
Little hope is held for her re
covery.
Asks Assistance.
According to witnesses, last
night three automobiles drove up
and stopped in front of the min
ister’s home. He was called out
side and the occupants of the au
tomobile informed the minister
that they wished his assistance
in making a liquor raid.
The minister was suspicious and
did not wish to go, when they at
tempted to force him into the au
tomobile. He began remonstrat
ing then and the resulting argu
ment attracted his wife to the
door of their home.
She appeared with a shotgun in
her hands, and, according to wit
nesses, after a few words of warn
ing to the men, fired in their di
rection.
Her Fire Is Returned.
The men in the automobile im
mediately returned the fire and
Mrs. Stewart dropped with a bul
let wound in one arm and another
through the shoulder. One bul
let ranged down, striking the
spine and causing the paralysis.
Active Against Bootleggers.
The alleged fould-be abductors
fled.
Neighbors of the Rev. and Mrs.
Stewart say that it is their be
lief that the minister’s wife frus
trated an attempt by moonshiners
or bootleggers to kidnap her hus
band because of his recent very
aetM'p stand against liquor mak
ing or selling.
Sheriff Richards has started a
state wide search for the men who
shot Mrs. Stewart.

Acts Follow Pageant.
Following the pageant, the real

rings and high aloft in the top of
the tent appears scores of per

on for two and one half hours,
when the big show comes to an
end.
The big show comes here today

astounded both Chicago and Bos

and daring tricks, while with

Jno. F. Clark & Co.’s
Cotton Letter
New York, Nov. 15.—The Sat
urday market was mainly occu
pied with evening up 'transactions
for the week and prices show lit
tle change from last night.
The census bureau gives a
rough estimate of this year’s con
sumption 12,550,000 bales, which
would leave the carry over next
summer still uncomfortably
small.
The report adds, “should the
1925 growth of cotton be small,
there would be a world shortage
of cotton and higher prices.”
Official comment of this sort
is likely to impress European
spinners. Final prices are 5
points over yesterday.
A striking feature is that to
day’s closing shows the eight suc
cessive day of advances and the
level is the highest in six weeks.
We look for higher prices next
week.
