TITE EBERHART BOUND OVER t
FOR DEATH OF CONVICT
I
Coroner’s Jury Holds Him Charging Involuntary
Manslaughter—Motherof Dead Man takes ;
out Warrant Charging Murder. i
Last Thursday afternoon at La-!
Grange Capt. T. V. Eberhart was i
bound over by the coroner’s jury!
charged with involuntary man-;
slaughter. The jury had been prob- i
ing the death of Charles Partridge, .
a. young white convict, who died ’
Sunday afternoon at at a camp near,
Hogansville. Partridge’s aged moth- |
er cha ged that her son died soon •
after he had been severely Hogged
by Captain Eberhart.
Two young men who had visited
the camp Sunday testified that they
had heard a blow, had seen Partridge
fall while Eberhart stood over him
with a heavy walking stick in his
hand, and that the boss had then;
struck Partridge several blows, had ;
cursed him and commanded him to
go to the bushes. They declared that
the young convict, who died shortly
after, had hardly had strength to
drag himself away.
Captain Eberhart denied this'story
and was supported by several county
employees and convicts.
Captain Eberhart appeared before I
the Prison Commission Friday and
voluntarily resigned his position
pending an investigation by the
Troup County Grand Jury.
Eberhart claims that he was in
no way directly concerned with the
death of Partridge, but that he
thought it best to resign pending
further investigation. He said the
County Commissioners of Troup had
asked him to continue his work, and
that he will continue to oversee the
road construction in an official ca
pacity.
The Prison Commission received
a>pd acc.epted his resignation without
comment.* The boaTd will make a
rigid investigation, independently of
the Troup County authorities.
It is said that Partridge’s mother,
not satisfied with the verdict of the
coroner's jury, swore out a warrant
for murder against Eberhart, and
that he has given bond pending the
action of the grand jury.

{ ATLANTA SPIRIT TAKES
GAINESVILLE BY STORM.
I
Able Demonstration of the New Spirit Enter-
ing Gainesville will be Seen at Old
City Park July 4fh.
With the Mayor and Council and
: the civilians and the Boy Scouts of
the city, there is going to be some
! thing done at the Old City Park on
July the fourth that will be inter
; esting to look upon.
; "Just Watch us Grow.’’
i That is our motto for July the
Fourth. We have been taking our
long nap, but are waking up.
Gainesville’s nap was as long as that
of Rip Van Winkle, but like Rip
she eventually has come to herself.
The Civic Club and the Chamber
of Commerce have taken up the
work of Greater Gainesville. Al
li ough it is not put in so many
• words, that is the final termination —
Greater Gainesville’ Everything
we do that will bring people to
Gainesville is constructive of Great
i er Gainesville.
The First improvement mapped
out for the city park after the clean
up campaigners get through with it
lon the Fourth of July, is a swim
■ lining pool, and then we would sug
. gest a skating rink, or just anything
i I that will attract the crowds, and
• I keep money in Gainesville that goes
to other places, and bring money to
i Gainesville from outside towns.
> The greater part of the story is
1 that the women have taken up the
r I work of beautifying the city and
‘Hooking to its growth. When the
1 women get interested things begin
1 i to happen, and don’t forgetto smoke
that in your pipe.
This reminds us that the good wo
men were making a Beauty Spot on
Green street, but got hogged out of
it.
Then the women placed a Confed
erate monument on the public
square.
We could chronicle many things
that the women have done for
Gainvsville, and that we are going
to have a nice city park is an as
sured fact, for the women are inter
ested, and also our able Chamber of
Commerce is interested.
Just remember the day, July 4th.
that is the beginning point. Re
member. too. that the merchants
are going to close their doors on
that day and go out and work on the
city park, so don’t cuss anybody
but yourself if you forget to order
your groceries for Saturday and
i Sunday, on Friday, July 3rd.
You will be helping the merchants,
i helping Gainesville and helping
yourself, by doing your shopping on
| Friday, and then getting a shovel,
jor rake, or hoe, or spade, and going
I out to the City Park and putting in
i some good time on the Clean-Up
i Campaign.
j If you are interested in the growth
of Gainesville, we will expect to see
I you at the City Park, on Saturday,
j July 4th.
If you can't pull for Gainesville.

DR. L. G. HARDMAN.
DR. HARDMAN’S CANDIDACY IS CREAT
ING FAVOR THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
That the masses are taking an interest in the gubernatorial
race is shown by the manner in which the people are rallying to
the support of Dr. L. G. Hardman, the first candidate to announce,
and the one who has covered more territory and come in contact
with a larger number of voters than any man in the governor’s
race. Farmers, bankers, manufacturers, artisans, laborers and
professional men of every class are lining up in the Hardman
column, confident that he is the man who is equipped to give Geor
gia a faithful business administration.
CHARACTER AND QUALIFICATIONS
MAKE STRONG APPEAL
Doctor Hardman’s clean private life and honorable public serv
ice appeal to the people.
His successful professional and business career stamp him as
a man of remarkable ability and resourcefulness.
He is capacitated for executive work through inherent quali
fications and years of wide experience in large affairs.
Six years of useful service in the legislature and two years in
the senate, marked by excellent work for the state, demonstrated
his qualities of statesmanship.
His practical knowledge of farming, shown by the wonderful
success achieved in this profession, together with his work for
Georgia’s agricultural interests as a member of the executive
board of the State Agricultural College and member of the State
Experiment Board, stamp him as a leader in agricultural affairs.
In banking, manufacturing, dairying, drainage, horticulture and
in the profession of medicine, his success speaks eloquently of a
giant mind which analyzes, directs, organizes and masters.
Doctor Hardmans’ honest, constructive platform is in keeping
with his progressive and practical ideas. He is not a dreamer,
but a doer; not a scheming politician, but a sincere friend to the
people; not a seeker of public office for self-aggrandizement, but
to serve the people of Georgia which his record proves him able
to do.
His candidacy is meeting with endorsement throughout the
State. The people have learned of his unblemished character, of
his worthy achievements, of his undoubted merits and of his
splendid qualifications for leadership. So convinced are the
masses that Doctor Hardman is the logical man for the governor
ship, he has attained a lead that has caused the prediction to be
made that the country-candidate, the plain man of the people, will
be Georgia’s next chief executive.

NUMBER 26
JIM CANTRELL MAY NOT
BE HUNG TOMORROW.
Judge Jones has Asked that his Execution be
Deferred to July 29th—Bartow to be
Sentenced for that Date.
Jim Cantrell may not hang tomor
row, the day set for his execution —
and probably will not.
So that the shadow of the gallows
now drawing to close to him will
disperse.jfor another month.
JudgeJJ. B. Jones will in a few
days sentence Bartow to hang July
29. and has written the governor
asking that Jim's excution be defer
red to that date so the brothers may
bear company across the
dark waters of the River of Death.
Both the boys have applications
for commutation to imprisonment
for life before the Prison Board.
The letter of Judge Jones is as
follows:
Gainesville. Ga., June 24. 1914.
Hon. John M. Slaton.
Atlanta, Ga:
Dear Governor: As you know, the
rule requires notice of application
for Executive Clemency be publish
ed thirty days before being passed
upon by the "Prison Commission.
The thirty days notice of Bartow
Cantrell had not expired at the June
session of the Prison Board, and the
case of his application could not be
passed upon before the July term.
Jim Cantrell's sentence, upon the
application of many citizens and
myself, was supended until June
29th. I shall re-sentence Bartow
Cantrell to be hanged on July 29th.
and hereby request you to suspend
tb.e excution of Jim Cantrell to that
date. Yours truly,
J. B. Jones, Judge.

Take a Walk Through Citv Park.
ThejPrior Street jroad goes right
through it. Deep down in its shady
depths you strike the forks of the
road, one coming out by Miller’s
home on Green street and the other
just a little this side of Mr. J. F.
Moorefield’s bungalow.
We would be almost willing to
warrant that it’s ten or 15 degrees
cooler down (in the park than any
other place in town.
Automobiles can be driven through
it with perfect safety—the roads be
ing in wonderfully good condition
considering the scant attention they
have received. They could be wi
dened in*inany places to good ad
vantage.
Everybody is interested in the
big clean-up movement on the
Fourth, and development of the
Park, and many have offered some
splendid suggestions. Besides the
swimming poolpdea, the ball ground,
the placing of comfortable seats,
; building a pavilion, distributing a
few electric lights along the main
roads, and the proposed walks, many
. have thought thaifthe park needs a
new name.
Women of the Town Enthusiastic.
The’ghonor of resurrecting our
1 City Park and bringing its value as
a common;‘'pleasure ground to the
attention of the people belongs to
I the good women ?of our town, who
have beenfgiving plays and things
of like nature to raise funds for its
improvement.
That they have been successful in
waking up the people is evidenced
by other items in this week’s issue
i describing the activity of the Cham
ber ofj Commerce. In fact every
body is heartily in accord with the
idea.
The Women’s Civic League is
working for the movement and have
said that they were going to help
out the men in cleaning up by as
sisting with baskets and distribut
ing refreshments at the barbecue
for the workers on Saturday, the
Fourth of July.
Os course the women of the town
do most of the shopping, and a
great many have already said that
they would do their week-end s
shopping and ordering on Friday
instead of Saturday, so as to enable
the men at the different places of
business to close up and help out
on Saturday.
Miss’Alma Bennett of Murrayville
was guest of friends in the city last
week.
