Stories Are Conflecting
Whereabout Of Negro Who
Killed Ellaville Officer
Recording the awful tragedy occur
ring at Ellaville the night of Dec.
24th, and which was a great shock to
this entire section of the state The
Tri-County News, published at
Americus carried the following story
in its recent issue:
“Following the murder of Wilbur
B. Souter, 42 year old Ellaville police
chief, Christmas Eve night allegedly
by Charles Dotson, 17 year old
Schley county negro, whom Souter
attempted to arrest, it is reported by
police authorities that Dotson was
captured Christmas night and is now
in the Muscogee county jail for safe
keeping, due to the intense sentiment
against the negro in Schley county.
“It is also reported by persons fa
miliar with Schley county that the
negro tracked down by dogs in a
swamp between Tazewell and Buena
Vista was shot. This story could not
be verified by News reporters.
“A third rumor states that the ne
gro tracked down in the swamp was
wounded three or four times by bul
lets, but that all were only flesh
wounds, and that he has been placed
in the Columbus jail pending trial.
“None of these stories can be con
firmed and the official statement is
that the negro is in Muscogee noun-
ty jail.
“Citizens of Ellaville and the en
tire county were greatly incensed
over the cold blooded shooting of
Chief Souter who was widely loved,
and it is said that hundreds of peo
ple frpm Schley county and sur
rounding counties as well rushed to
Ellaville to organize posses in search
for Dotson. Bloodhounds were used
in the chase and posses went out in
all directions in search for the ne
gro.
“Chief Souter was shot through the
head by a bullet believed to have
been fired from his own gun. Altho
there were no eye witnesses to the
killing, it is considered probable that
the negro jerked the police chief’s
gun away from him, fired the single
fatal shot and then ran.
“Souter, who had been town mar
shal for slightly over two years is
survived by his wife, the former Miss
Naomi Tondee; two daughters, Eve
lyn and Margaret; two sisters, Mrs.
Rambriek, of Schley county and Mrs
Grant, of Ideal; a step-mother alio
in Ideal; and two brothers, Russell
Souter of Brimingham, and Walter
Souter, of Schley county.
“Funeral services were held Tues
day p. m. at the Ellaville cemetery
by Rev. J. E. Dupree, pastor of the
Ellaville Baptist church. A large
number of friends and relatives at
tended the services. Ball bearers
were H. W. Hogg, .1. H. Statham, C
C. McNeal. C. T. Battle, J H Robin
son, and S. W. Miles.”

Rainbow Shade* in Sky
Are Not Always Genuine
Rainbow-colored streaks In the sky
are not always rainbows. Opalescent
patche* of various sizes and shape*,
tinted with nil the rainbow s hues but
bearing no physical relation to the
true rainbow, are occasionally seen,
usually Inte In the fall, high up In the
sky near the sun, according to a re|>-
resentntlve of the United States
weather bureau.
This rare celestial phenomenon, It Is
explained, Is caused by Interference
from minute drops of water In the
clouds to light waves traveling earth
ward from the sun. These droplets
act on the light In such a way us to
cause the crests of some parts of a
wave of light to get ahead of the
crests of others. When the crest and
the trough of a wave reach a certain
point at the same time the light Is
dimmed. When two crests come along
together the light Is Intensified. This
diffraction of light waves gives the sky
bright patches of color, especially red
»nd green, that are sometimes mistak
en for rainbows.
The Iridescent cloud effect produced
when light Is forced to pass through
the tiny raindrops Is the same as that
of the colored corona often seen near
the sun or moon but of much lurger
radius and purer and brighter In color,
owing to the extraordinarily minute
size of the drops and the thinness of
the silky, gauzy clouds. Anyone Is
lucky to see this gorgeous spectacle
cnee In a lifetime, though a watchful
observer may see one or more such dis
plays- almost every year.
Janizaries Were Heroes;
Won Enviable Reputation
Six hundred years ugo the Turkish
sultun, Orkhan, decided to force the
many Christian prisoners he held to
espouse the precepts of Mahomet, and
to prove their allegiance he forced the
prisoners to join the array. They were
formed Into a special corps known as
the Janizaries, a Turkish word mean
ing new army.
In the first 30 years of Its existence
this corps grew until Its numbers to
taled 10,000. During tlint period, the
bravery of the young soldiers won for
the Janizaries an enviable reputation.
Their heroism became famous. In
fact so honored did the Janizaries be
come, young Turks, members of the
lending families, joined jip.
Like many movements which gnln
momentum rapidly, the Janizaries soon
became difficult.to handle and within
their ranks was bred many n con
spiracy which ripened Into an assassi
nation of n sultan, or vizier. In Inter
years, the sultans grew to fear the
Janizaries and many efforts were made
to disband them or change their s.vs
tern, without success.
Finally, In 1S2G, the sultan, Mahmud
Second, formed a new army patterned
after the European forces and met the
Janizaries In battle. The latter were
defeated and driven hack Into their
barracks, which were fired, s,00n per
ishing In the flames. Fifteen thousand
more, who were taken prisoner, were
executed and around 20,000 were bnn-
Ished from Turkey.
One of Largest Motha
The Cereropla Is one of the largest
moths. The wing spread Is usually
between five and six Inches. The large
silky cocoons can be found during the
winter months in clumps of willow
along ditches. They are generally about
eight Indies from the ground ami are
sometimes covered with snow. Many
people do not notice them but the care
ful observer Beldom misses them. The
cocoons generally mature in about a
week after they are taken In the
house, and the moth emerges.
Seeing Stars in Daytime
Stars are not visible during the day
becuuse the superior light of the sun
and its rellected rays from objects on
the earth is so strong as to obliterate
the tiny rays from stars so that they
make no Impression on the retina of
the eye. At the bottom of a shaft or
very tall chimney where no light enters
and the direct rays of sunlight are cut
off, the retina registers the rays from
the stars and hence they become vis
ible.

Richardson’* Skua, Bird
Known a* a Robber Gull
Wild nature Is rather like human
nnture. We find birds and mammals
which prefer robbery to work.
The Richardson’* slam, a bird little
known In the South, but met with
frequently In northern seas, Is really
a robber gull, declares a writer In Tit-
Bits Magazine. Thousands of years
ago this bird probably obtained Its liv
ing like any other respectable gull, but
It found that It could bully other gulls,
even If they were twice Its size, nnd
obtain the food they had captured. It
continued In Its had ways, and Its de
scendants have followed In Its foot
steps, until now we find these Hkuas
living with colonies of gulls, waiting
until one lias found n beakful of food,
then worrying It until It Is forced to
drop Its hard-won meal. The gulls, be
ing simple-minded, allow the skuas to
dwell with them, but there nre many
nnd more Intelligent birds which would
never allow such liberties.
Birds of prey cannot he called crim
inals when striking other birds down,
for they are simply following the law
of their race In obtaining their food,
but the fierce peregrine falcon Is at
times a had criminal, for he will kill
for the love of the sport. On some of
our sen-clllTs, where the peregrine nnd
hosts of sea-birds are found nesting In
close proximity, the former will often
strike down puffins as they fly past.
In other plnces where pigeons nre com
mon, lie and Ids larger mnte will often
amuse themselves by chasing these
birds, killing them la mid-air and al
lowing their bodies to fall.
The Statue of Liberty
On Bedloe lslnnd In New York har
bor the famous statue, “Liberty En
lightening the World,” has stood since
1880 when, as the gift of the citizens
of France, commemornting the one
hundredth anniversary of American in
dependence, it was dedicated with
elaborate ceremonies. The stntue, of
bronze, Is 151 feet in height and rises
from a granite pedestal, 155 feet high.
OVERCOMES BAD BREATH
The Scotch-lriih
The Scotch - Irish ure chiefly of
Scotch descent. They came to America
from Ireland. In 1011 King James i
began colonizing Ulster, a barren and
neglected part of Ireland, with people
front Scotland and the northern part
of England. They began migrating to
America about the year 1730, and at
rhe outbreak of the Revolutionary war
nhout one-sixth of the population of
the colonies was Scoteh-IrUh.
No. 1
From
I’age Seven
Emperor and Subject*
Marched Out of Angkor
Strangest of all stories about dere
lict cities is that of Angkor, the dead
city of the Cambodian jungles In
French Indo-Ohina. For many cen
turies Angkor was the capital of the
great Khmer empire, and It grew to
a size and Importance second to none
In the world at that date. It Is said,
says a writer in Answers Magazine,
that Its population actually reached
u total of n million.
One day, some seven centuries ago,
the emperor at the head of Ills people
marched out of the city—nnd never
returned, nor does history record any
reason for this amazing exodus.
Angkor, with its marvelously orna
mented palaces nnd pagodas, was left
empty nnd deserted. The climate of
Cambodln Is one of the hottest nnd
wettest In the world, and within n very
few years the jungle swept In nnd cov
ered the empty city—covered It so com
pletely that its very existence was for
gotten, and Us rediscovery late In the
Nineteenth century was one of the
greatest surprises In the history of
archeology.
Except for the natural damage done
by the passage of time, the place was
singularly perfect, and the high walls
surrounding it. with their great gates,
still stood. So did the magnificent
Bayon or Buddhist temple, beneath
which, so legend has It, lies the Im
mense treasure of its last monarch.
the atoning, the Son of God, and
our Saviour. As John said to hif
disciples on that memorable day so
we say in our own hearts, "behold
him, believe on him, bear his cross
and dwell with him forever.
Andrew
One of the disciples that were
with John was Andrew and there
seems to he no doubt that the other
one was John the author of the gos
pel that we ure now studying. When
John the Baptist told them to “be
hold the Lamb of God,” they follow
ed Jesus. As soon as Jesus was
aware that they were following him
he turned to them and asked “what
seek ye?” They asked him where he
was staying. In other words they
were seekii^e; an interview with Jesus.
He gave them the cordial invitation
to follow him. “Come and ye shall
see.” Of course they accepted the in
vitation and spent the day with Jesus
This interview convinced beyond all
doubt the Messiah of Jesus. This was
the greatest truth that Jesus could
have imparted to his callers
After this interview the two
disciples went out to gather others to
Jesus. When Andrew found his bro
ther Simnn Peter he told him saying
“we have found the Messiah.” It was
the greatest discovery that he had
ever made or ever would make and
the greatest one that we will ever
make. After he had told Peter his
testimony “he brought him to Jes
us.”
Peter
When he confronted Jesus he ex
perienced the greatest changes of his
whole career. He was given a new
name and became a new man. He had
heard of John’s proclaiming Jesus as
the Messiah and 1 was .convinced. From
the lips of the forerunner he heard
Jesus proclaimed as the Lamb of
God. He also heard his own brother,
Andrew say that the promised Mes-
Oltlahoma Indians
The Five Civilized Tribes of the for
mer Oklahoma territory were estab
lished long before the Civil war. They
were southern tribes, and were re
moved beyond the Mississippi to make
room for settlers. The first were the
Cherokees, Choctaws, Chicknsaws,
Creeks nnd Semlnoles. These Indians
took the southern side during the war.
For that and other reasons they were
deprived of some of the western part
of their lands. On the ceded portions
the government established Sacs,
Foxes, Cheyennes and other plains In
dians. Later other tribes were moved
In. In the Indian territory, the east
ern half of the present stnte, there
were in 1900 not only the five civilized
nations, but also reservations for
Modocs, Ottnwas, Peorins, Qunpaws,
Senecas, Shawnees and Wyandottes.
In Oklahoma territory there were Kaw.
Osage nnd Wichita reservations and
one for Klowas, Comanches and
Apaches.
siah had been found. Jesus now ap
peared before hint in person. Jesus
looked intently upon him and said
thou shalt be Caphas, which means
Peter. Thus we see that the fickle
minded Simon was changed into the
rock-like Peter by the transforming
hand of Jesus. After his conversion
Peter and his companions went back
to Galilee and very likely resumed
their former occupation as fishermen.
Peter’s Call
John the Baptist pointed out to
Peter Jesus as the Messiah and urged
him and his disciples to follow Jesus
rather than himself. He (John) had
been faithful to the Messian nnd his
mission In doing so h£ had become a
critic of Herod and for this he had
been cast into prison where in a
short time he became a victim of the
executioner’s sword. John was an ex
ample worthy of our exemplification.
We know that Jesus matte his ap
pearance at an opportune time. The
world reasons well. The world was
ready for his coming as never before.
The worltl was ready to spread the
new faith to all humanity. There was
a universally felt need for the new
religion and the synagogues were
available as starting points. The
temple and its records and cere
monies were about to be destroyed.
Without any hesitation or delay
Peter anil Andrew obeyed the call of
Christianity and of Jesus, gave up
their business to follow Jesus. Will
we do as much ?
