Barton F. Powell, of Albany,
Ga., a negro 32 years old, is one
of the most successful farmers in
the state. Twelve years ago he
had saved up $2,000, with which
he bought 500 acres 'of land. He
went to work on it and cleared
$2,500 the first year. He has
continued to add to his landed
possessions, paying SJ)ot cash
for every farm purchased, and is
now the owner of 2,100 acres of
land, from which he markets 400
bales of cotton annually. Besides
his success on the farm, he has de
veloped the country supply-store
idea, and thus rakes in thousands
of dollars a year. He also owns
a comfortable residence in Bain-
bridge. His profits last year were
over $7,000. He says that the
question of social recognition
doesn’t trouble him so long as he
can get financial recognition at
the bank.
Judge John S. Candler has
heard the motion for a new trial
for H. S. Perry, who was convict
ed at Decatur week before last of
the murder of B. Lanier, and sen
tenced to hang. The judge re
served his decision. The motion
contains thirty grounds, most of
which are technical points. The
chief ground is that the judge
erred in his charge to the jury.
The defense claimed at the time
of the trial that Perry was justifi
able because Lanier had assaulted
his wife. The assault was alleged
to have taken place on Friday be
fore the Monday on winch the
killing occurred. The judge in
his charge instructed the jury
that nothing which happened on
Friday night to the defendant, his
wife or any member pi his family,
would justify, palliate or mitigate
the crime on Monday. The de
fense claims that this was an er
ror and that the jury should have
decided whether or not the cir
cumstances tended to render the
crime to any extent excusable.
Perry is still in the DeKalb coun
ty jail at Decatur and is visited
almost daily by his wife.
One dozen of Atlanta’s police^
men are to be mounted on bicy
