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 cles to run down scorchers who violate the ordinances relating to fast riding. IS WHAT WE HAD LAST WEEK.
