Mrs. Brooks, whose husband is a
government cotton classer in this
north Texas city, had been the ob
ject of a wide search when it was
learned she had disappeared from
her home last Monday.
The search lasted live days and
the would-be rescuers had just
about given up in the belief that
the woman had fallen into a small
lake, when Farmersville fire chief
Raymond Brandon discovered her
trapped in a culvert underneath a
road.
After falling into the 30-inch
wide culvert about a mile from
her home, she was unable to get
out. In an effort to escape, Mrs.
Brooks crawled almost to the other
end of the 30 foot tube. In the
meantime, dirt and mud slipped
down over the opening, obscuring
it from the searchers.
Brandon said he was making
“one final search” Saturday for the
missing woman when he accident
ally stumbled onto the culvert’s
opening. He said he got down on
his stomach and peered inside with
a flashlight when he “saw some
thing move."
It was Mrs. Brooks, a little the
worse for exposure and hunger, but
otherwise in "surprisingly good
condition.”
Mrs. Brooks was placed under
the care of a physician and her
husband J. J. Brooks, said Sunday
that she was in good shape physi
cally.

Murder Charged to
Husband in Dublin
Skeleton Case
AMERICUS—Juveniles under 14
years of age will be placed in hold
ing homes rather than in jail,
pending outcome of their court cas
es, the Sumter County Board of
Commissioners agreed in a resolu
tion here last week.
The action was requested by re
presentatives of the Americus Bar
Assn., who appeared before the
commissioners.
Juvenile Judge James W. Smith
will make the final ruling on the
matter before it is placed in effect.
“An occasion arose recently in
which there was no place to keep
a juvenile from a broken home
who had gotten into minor trouble.
Plans call for placing such children
not criminally inclined in homes
where they will receive proper care
until disposition of their case.
The commissioners also went on
record as opposing the merger of
the Seaboard Air Line Railway Co.
and the Atlantic Coast Line. They
also proposed that portions of con
ferences dealing with Georgia to
come up at Richmond, Va„ should
be heard in this state instead.
Two Youths Sentenced
In Americus
AMERICUS, Ga.— A Recorder’s
Court Judge Monday gave two Uni
versity of Georgia football players
15-day suspended sentences as a
result of a fracas in which they
were shot by an Americus man af
ter they beat him to the ground.
Don Porterfield of Moultrie and
Richard Brooks, 20, of Griffin were
sentenced by Judge Lawton Lesueur
on charges of disorderly conduct.
Porterfield, a freshman star at the
University, and Brooks were hurt
slightly in the fight.
Two Americus men, Buford Ro
berts, 26, and Buddy Mathis, 35,
also were involved in the fight.
Police Chief Deal Jordan said. Ro
berts was fined $55 or 30 days and
bound over to City Court on assault
charges, while Mathis was fined
$30.
Mrs. James Jordan, proprietor of
the establishment near where the
fight took place, was bound over
to City Court on charges of selling
beer to minors.
Porterfield was a star in the
Georgia Bullpups’ 22-22 battle with
Georgia Tech’s freshmen Thanks
giving Day. Brooks was kicked off
the varsity squad early this sea
son for violating training rules. The
squad lated voted to give him an
other chance and he was red-shirt-
ed for the remainder of the season.
Officers said Porterfield and
Brooks were en route to Moultrie
for the weekend after the game
and stopped in Americus for re
freshments.
Jordan said Brooks, 6-4, 208
pounds, became involved in an ar
gument with the 5 foot-4 Roberts
and Porterfield, 6 ft. 175 pounds
joined in the beating the smaller
man to the ground. Then, Jordan
continued, Mathis came to Roberts
assistance ‘‘because he felt sorry
for the small man.”
The chief said Roberts got up,
obtained a 16-gauge shotgun from
his car and swung the weapon at
Brooks. The gun discharged and
the shot grazed Brooks on the left
side of the head about two inches
above the ear. Porterfield receiv
ed a wound above the left eye, pro
bably from a pellet, Jordan said.
The athletes were treated at a
hoscital and continued their trip
to Moultrie.
DUBLIN—A Dublin Negro man
has been arrested and charged
with the murder of his wife as the
result of the skelton found here
Nov. 5, Sheriff Carlus Gray said.
Placed in the Laurens County
Jail on charges of murder was
Jerry Edmunds. The skeleton has
been identified as his wife Zem-
mie Edmunds, who disappeared in
May, Sheriff Gay said. The wom
an was about 50 years of age and
was said to have been an employ
ee of the Superior Laundry.
The remains of the body were
found by a man as he hunted a
cow. A coroner’s jury was called
to the scene, which was just off
South Decatur St., in a wooded
area.
The skelton after an examination
by the jury and Sheriff’s officers,
was sent to the State Crime Lab
oratory for examination. A report
stated the skeleton was of a Negro
woman, about 50 to 65 years of age.
The report also said several ribs
of the body were possibly broken
before death.

FISH <
By FULTON LOVELL
Deer hunters in Georgia may soon be bagging
both bucks and does throughout the state.
Georgia has become overcrowded with doe deer
, and only an open season on the lady deer will keep
i them from starving to death. The plan has been
put into effect in several south Georgia counties
and seems to be working successfully.
Action was taken when game biologists noted
that a shortage of food and browse for deer existed
in certain areas. In one of these areas, average
weight of a deer taken in 89 pounds. A few years
ago, deer taken from this same area averaged 135
pounds.
In South Georgia, where deer herds are
large, more and more hunters complain of see
ing more does, but less bucks. Game biologists
have tried to remedy this situation by trapping
the does and restocking them in areas less popu
lated with deer. But these areas are now grow- *
ing overcrowded. f
Public sentiment is the only stumbling block iiN
; the plan. People have become so used to the “bucks
only’’ law that they object to killing doe deer. Peo-
( pie objected to a plan carried out 10 years ago when
a mixed season was opened in the Blue Ridge man
agement area to improve the balance between does
and bucks. But now, residents of the area realize
the change has done a lot of good.
I would like to see a mixed bag limit put
into effect next year throughout the state, but
first the Game and Fish Commission will have
/ to overcome public sentiment.
ii Commission biologists says the “bucks only” law
has not done the job of removing the harvestable !
number of deer each season.
And though many states allow the killing of 1
both sexes, some of them are admitting that hunters
still cannot harvest enough deer. ,
In addition, more strict regulations would
have to be put into effect with the law, concern
ing the registration of deer killed by hunters.
We need to know how many deer are taken from
each area and from what area they are taken.
With this information, we can easily tell where
deer are abundant or where they may need more
management because of lack of food or over-
, population.
1 In a nutshell, here’s the story: land can only
support a certain number of deer. Seasons are
opened to keep the deer herd on this land down.
But when the herd keeps growing in size and num
ber and hunters cannot remove the excess deer, the
animals soon starve.
For instance, in 1905 a poacher claimed to
have removed the last deer from the mountain
region. A restocking program, begun in 1928,
bloomed and brought back the deer herd in the
area.
Today, this same area is overpopulated. There
are enough deer to cause serious damages to the
management areas.
So in the near future—very possibly next year-
hunters in Georgia will be given the task of remov
ing both bucks and does. This will assure better
deer hunting in the state for years to come.
