MANDY MANN IN TOWER.
Charged With the Murder of Lee
Pitts, Placed in Fulton Coun¬
ty Jail for Safe Keeping.
Mady Mann, the negro woman
who shot and killed Le 3 Pitts, a
colored woman, near Newborn, on
August 15th, and who was bound
over to the September term of
Newton Superior court, without
the privilege of bail by Justice
Branham last Tuesday, was carried
to Atlanta Monday morning by
Sheriff Hay and placed in the
Tower for safe keeping.
This step was deemed advisable
iu view oi the fact that threats of
violence had been made by the ne
groes of the community where the
killing occurred.
The Pitts woman, it is said was
a harmless and hard working ne¬
gro, having the respect and confi¬
dence of both white and colored
population of Newborn, and her
unprovoked assassination had the
effect of working up a frenzy of
excitement among the blacks and
likewise aroused some indignation
among the best element of white
citizens of that community.
Mandy Mann is a noted charac
ter throughout Newton county and
bears anything but a good reputa¬
tion. She has been a prominent
figure in the courts of this county
for a number of years. She lived
in Covington for several years and
figures largely in the council
meetings of this city.
DOVE SEASON ON
But Too Hot to Shoot-Sports¬
men Say That There is An
Abundance of Young.
Although the dove season is
now on and has been since July
15, very few hunters have faced
the extremely hot weather which
has prevailed since to shoot them.
Young birds are reported as be¬
ing more plentiful this season than
in several years before, and are
well advanced in size for this sea¬
son of the year.
Huntsmen claim that when the
young birds are shot when they
come for early morning Led that
they will not keep during this hot
weather through the day.
The spring seasons were unus¬
ually well ordered for the raising
of the young doves, and they are
now feeding in wheat fields or
t'e ds where early peas were grown.
The laws against bating fields
for doves has done much towards
preserving the bird and preventing
the useless slaughter which was
engaged in in years past. It was
no unusual thing for one party to
go out and kill 1,000 doves at one
baited field,
These fields were baited regular¬
ly for ten days or two weeks with
wheat, the birds starting to come
at early sunrise for their morning
J feed. In this field stands would
be arranged at short distances,
w fie re gunners sut and waited for
the birds to come. In the party
would be as many as ten to twelve
sportsmen, who would average 75
to 100 birds for a morning’s
shooting.
Sunday School Association.
The annual meeting of the Cen
tral Association, which comprises
Baptist Sunday Schools of several
counties in this section, was held
at Mansfield on Wednesday and
Thursday of this week.
The convention was largely at
tended by many prominent
da> t tr Scnooi ^rhnol workers \ ike s. aq \cldre®se® - se3
and discussions of this work were
the topics of the occasion.
Great preparations were made
by the people of Mansfield for the
entertaining of this body of co
workers, the people of that section
opening their doors to the visitors
and assuring them of a welcome,

COTTON BRINGS 30 CENTS.
First Bale of New Crop is Auc¬
tioned at Savannah
Last Week.
Savannah, Ga., July 21. -The
first bale of new cotton for this
season was sold at auction today
at the cotton exchange. It classed
full middling and was bought by
a local agent for a Liverpool * firm
for ‘30 cents a pound, which is a
new record price for first bale in
Savannah.
Baseball Notes.
Baseball every day next week
except Wednesday.
Carter Franklin is pUyin a great
game behind the bat.
Clarence Terrell is in the game
all the time and is handy with the
wil’ow.
Bradshaw covers more ground in
center field than any man that has
been here this season. He is handy
with the stick too.
The Milledgeville papers say
that Bus Lee is the best first sack
er that’s been there this season.
That’s talking out in the meeting?
Three games were scheduled with
Sparta on the first three days of
this week. Sparta failed to show
up, thereby greatly disappointing
a large crowd.
As a consistent all-round player
Bayne Terrell is possibly the best
on the team. Ho’s a fast l.ifielder
and covers a world of ground in
the outfield, besides being the
pinch hitter of the team.
Lamar Ham, of Gainesville, has
signed a Monroe contract to pitch.
Ham is one of the best amateurs
m the state and will strengthen
the Monroe team. He was with
cht-xi met year.
W. J. Merrill has signed a con¬
tract with Madison, Fla., to pitch
the remainder ot the season Mr.
Merrill has been with the Monroe
team until recently and played
several games with Covington. He
is a good clean ball player.
Billy King, one of the; best ama¬
teur pitchers and ball players in
Georgia, bus been signed by Cov
in gton a,jd vvi!l complete the season
Here. King pitched with Coving¬
ton against Monroe on June 12,
and won his game, letting down
the sluggers with live hits.
Monroe comes Monday for two
games. You will see a game both
days. King will pitch the opener
and Anderson the second. We are
looking for two victories from
them. McDonough will play here
next Thursday, Friday and Sat¬
urday. They should draw well as
they have a good team.
A hot liner struck Irb Norm: n
on the finger in Newtian, which is
keeping him out of the game, li
was at first thought that the finger
was broken but time has revealed
the loss of the nail only. Irb is in
old time form and is a heady
pitcher and consistent batter. He
hopes lo be able to pitch one of the
I games against McDonough.
versity Frank Anderson, the twirler old Uni-j and j
of Georgia star
coach for the University of Stone j
Mountain, has signed a contract
to play with Covington the bal¬ I
ance of the season. This is good
news to the fans and to his many
. Frank An¬
derson is one of the best ball play-1
ers in Georgia and his work here
m the early ^ season made him ^
with the local team in the future. |
