Accused in ’gator death
CARNESVILLE, Ga. (UPI) - A federal game agent
intends to press charges against five fishermen who claim
they killed an alligator two weeks ago in self-defense.
“I am going to draw charges against all the adults
involved,” U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service agent Bill

criminal or civil charges.”
He said the five men and three juveniles were fishing for
catfish in Hunter’s Creek in the Red Hill section of
Franklin county when the alligator was killed. The men
said they killed the alligator to keep it from attacking
them.

He said no charges will be made against the juveniles.

Atlanta living cost up
ATLANTA (UPI) — Living in Atlanta cost 1.5 per cent
more in the second quarter of 1975 than it did in the first
three months of this year, but the rate of increase was the
slowest recorded in 15 months.
Rising gasoline prices pushed Atlantans’ transportation
costs up 3.6 per cent during the quarter, the U.S.
Department of Labor said Tuesday. It said the
transportation cost now stands 7.4 per cent ahead of the
cost a year ago.
Housing costs went up 2 per cent during the quarter, ad
vancing 11.7 per cent from a year ago.
Food prices went up 1.2 per cent, now ranking 10.4 per
cent above June, 1974, prices.
The Department of Labor said its consumer price index
for June was 9.3 per cent higher than it was a year earlier,
and that goods and services that cost SIOO in June of 1967
cost sl6l last month in Atlanta.
Talmadge raps strikes
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Public employe strikes are an
“intolerable” affront to taxpayers — including the
employes themselves — says Sen. Herman E. Talmadge,
D-Ga.
“To my thinking it is intolerable for government offi
cials or government employes to strike, and that is
particularly true of a police department, because of the
health, safety, the livelihood of the people who depend
upon adequate police protection,” Talmadge said.
Talmadge said in an interview taped in Washington for
Georgia radio stations that walkouts by public employes
were “really a strike against themselves and the total
population of the area involved.
Focus on Atlanta courts
ATLANTA (UPI) — The Administrative Office of the
Courts, trying to set up a statewide judicial information
network, this week turns its attention to the Atlanta courts
system.
Robert L. Doss Jr., the acting director of the State AOC,
said Tuesday the research team will gather information
on Atlanta’s case loads, court operation, personnel,
financing, records and other “front office”” aspects of the
city courts.
“We hope to propose some standard forms and dockets
which would help not only attorneys, but greatly aid the
public in determining the status of the case, ease the
clerks’ load and aid state agencies such as the AOC in
making recommendations for additional judicial
manpower, other courtrelated personnel, or funding,”
said Doss.
“In the last year, we have surveyed 153 counties and
found a wide variety in the numbers and types of docket
books used, and a great difference in court operations,”
he said.
Busbee posts reward
ATLANTA (UPI) — Gov. George Busbee Tuesday has
posted a SI,OOO reward for information leading to the
arrest and conviction of whoever murdered an invalid
Millen woman in 1973.
Millen Police Chief Cleveland Johnson said Mrs.
Pauline L. Davis, 58, was shot to death in her bed on a
Sunday morning by an intruder who broke into the house.
Her daughter was also knocked out by the intruder.
“She had been in bed for several years,” Johnson said.
She couldn’t harm anybody.”
Johnson said his department, the Jenkins County
sheriff’s office and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation
had worked on the case without success.
“They were good people,” Johnson said. “There was no
reason to kill her.”
Nothing was taken from the house, he said.
Mrs. Davis’ husband was in Florida at the time on his
railroad job.
Busbee offered the reward in the the hope that new
evidence might be turned up in the Dec. 9, 1973 murder.

The victims were identified as Carl G. Pruit of Stone
Mountain and Wallace P. Merrill, 48, of Atlanta.
Authorities roped off the crash scene, pending
investigation by the National Transportation Safety
Board to determine the cause of the crash. The bodies of
both men were thrown from the cockpit by the impact,
which demolished the airplane.
Sheriff Jimmy Andrews the Aero Commander went
down about one-half mile from a rural church in the Red
Hill Community.
Roy Smith, a nearby resident, said he had heard
“sputtering” engines and, “I knew it was in trouble.”
Southern Railway increase
NEW YORK (UPI) - The Southern Railway Co., riding
“piggyback” on the general economic recovery, recorded
a 10.4 per cent increase in net consolidated income for the
second quarter of 1975.
Although still well behind the second quarter of last
year, Southern Railway president W. Graham Claytor Jr.-
said Tuesday, the $16.6 million quarterly earnings
equalled SI.OB a share for the quarter and $2.05 per share
for the first half of the year.
Directors of the rail line declared a regular quarterly
dividend of 53 cents.
“We are already seeing a significant upturn in

piggyback trailers and containers,” said Claytor. “If the
economic recovery goes forward as some have predicted,
we should see a substantial improvement in our revenue
by October.”
Claytor said the second quarter results were expected,
but expressed disappointment that Southern’s
carloadings and revenues had not improved even more.
He said only coal and food products generated increased
revenue for the railroad.
Heavy rains cut work
ATHENS, Ga. (UPI) — Heavy rains over much of
Georgia reduced last week’s farm work from five days to
two, hindering the harvesting of some crops but helping
the growth of others.
The Georgia Crop Reporting Service said Tuesday
rainfall averages ranged from adequate to excessive
across the state last week.
With the tobacco sales season underway, the tobacco
harvest is reported about 56 per cent complete — well
below the fiveyear average of 63 per cent for this time.
Peach growers have about 83 per cent of their harvest
complete, with shipments more than double a year ago.
The Crop Reporting Service said 1,476 carlot equivalents
have been counted.
The rain benefited the com crop, which showed
recovery from a northern leaf blight infection that had hit
some fields.
