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.

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.

As the strains from Lohengrin’s '"Bridal Chorus’’ rang forth, the bride entered on the arm of her father, and was met at the altar by the groom and his best man, Mr. John C. Smith. The ceremony was performed in a very impressive manner by Rev. Mr. Davison of Camden, S. C., a classmate of the groom.

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. SI.OO a Year in Advance 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.

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.
