Saturday, November 15. 1924. |J| 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. At the Churches FIRST BAPTIST Sunday school, 9:30 a. m. (Pre session work, 9:15.) Morning worship, 11 o’clock.

Market Reports (Over Pursley, Slaton & Co.’s Private Wire.) 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.
