A FEDERAL OUSE
Detained For United States
Officers When He Hau Com
pleted Serving State Sen
tence.
Atlanta, Oct. 21.—Victor E. Ennis,
Portland, Oregon, lawyer, who today
completed a state sentence in con
nection with the famous Nelms’ sis
ters case, was immediately arrested
by the federal authorities when re
leased from the Fulton county con
vict camp where he served state
time.
Ennis is now being held in Fulton
county jail to await federal trial
on a charge of using the mails to
defraud, in connection with the dis
appearance of the Nelms sister.
Mrs. Eloise Nelms Dennis and Miss
Beatrice Nelms, both of whom it
was charged Nelms and wife effect
ively disposed of after obtaining the
property of Mrs. Dennis and her.
sister.
After a search extending over the
whole United Stales and into Cana
da Ennis was captured. Detectives;
and members of the Nelms family,
co-operating with the slate authori
ties, made diligent search for Hie
•Nelms sister, but were never able to
find them. It was sought to bring
a charge of murder against Ennis
in another state, whereupon his
counsel raised the point that, in
Texas, the corpus delicti must he
established before a murdei*charge
would lie in court. The point was
upheld and. on the inability to pro
duce the bodies of the missing
missing young women, whom it was
charged Ennis had disposed of by
quick-lime of incineration. that
charge could not he pressed. Ennis,
however, was brought to Atlanta and
tried on a lesser charge of obtain
ing money by fraud, the .technical
charge being larceny after trust. On
this he was convicted and sentenced
to a term of seven years on the
chaingang. Hie limit of the law. 1
The state and the Nelms family
contended that Ennis and his wife
were jointly guilty; that both in
veigled the Nelms girls through re
ligious fanaticism and mystics, lured
them to the West, obtained their
money and killed the girls. Ennis’
wife also was convicted on the lar
ceny charge but was in extremely
had physical condition. She was
subsequently paroled and left the
state.
The pending federal charge grows
out ofthc same ease, in which Ennis"
letters to the Nelms sisters will he
used as evidence.

SWEET POTATO HOUSE
READY FOR BUSINESS
The sweet potato curing house at
Louisville is open ready to receive
potatoes for curing and storing. It
is very unfortunate to the sweet
potato growers that a cash market
will not ho run in collection with
the storing house this season. How
ever, the officials in charge of the
house will lend every effort possi
ble to the finding of a market for
the potatoes after they are properlv
graded and cured. Too much stress
cannot he put on tho grading, and
if you arc in doubt as m ju.m now
to grade your potatoes, sec Mr. Guy
\Y. Frior, who has charge of the
house, or V. Shirley. County
Agent.
\ flat rale of 15 cents per crate
will he clunked for curing and stor
ing. 5 cents of this amount is for
the use of the crate, hut if the crate
is sold, an additional 5 cents will
he charged making Hi cents for cur
ing and 10 cents for the crate. Mr.
Frior has charge of the house and
parties having potatoes for storing
will find someone at the house to
receive them.

If anyone had stated a year ago
that an automobile could he con
structed with the latest and most
approved standard units through
out and successfully produced to
sell at Hie remarkably low price
of $848.00. every one would have
declared it impossible.
But at last this dream of xears
has become, an actuallity—this un
precedented feat realized. The new
Star Car is in every way an attrac
tive and modern ly designed motor
car. In every detail of its construc
tion is an exact counterpart of tlie
larger, far more expensive automo
biles.
It is the latest product of W. C.
Durant, the man whose genius and
vision created such names as Du
rant. Cadillac, and Buick. He has
performed one of the greatest and
most far reaching achievements of
the present age. and it is certain to
revolutionize low cost transporta
lion throughout the world.
The Star Car must not for a mo
ment be compared with any other
low priced car. It is distinctly in
a class by itself, with all its im
proved features of body design and
chassis construction. It is excep
tionally powerful, dependable and
economical to operate. Further, the
motor is smooth and quiet running.
Never in all the history of auto
motive manufacture was such in
terest shown in the introduction' Of
anew automobile as has been given
the Star Car. It has been predicted
that the Star Car will become tlie
greatest success ever attained in
the small car field, for it is the
greatest value ever offered to the
small car purchaser.
The Henry Weathers Motors Cos.,
Inc.. 815-819 Ellis Street, Augusta,
Ga.. have been selected as distribu
tors for the Star Car in this ter
ritory. They stale that a complete
line of the new Star models will he
shown in their pisplay rooms dur

Non. k 1)n Dr. Louis Prostcrman.
of Atlanta, state chairman of the
campaign. This campaign will he
, conducted for tile benefit of near
ly 20,000 disabled veterans of the
World War now in Georgia, l>\ the
I state organization of the Disabled
Veterans of the World War.
The intensive campaign will oc
; cupy one day, Nov. k and residents
| of every city in the state will he
asked to give as large donations as
they possibly can to the women
i selling forget-me-nots on the streets
1 of the city, and in its buildings, in
the interest of the campaign. Chair
man are being appointed for the va
rious cities on the basis of their
known ability, and the interest they*
have shown in times past in the
welfare of those who were wounded
in the war overseas.
Even now, although industrial
conditions have improved consider
ably, thousands of sons of Georgia,
! figures show, who were the khaki
during the war are in want because
of wounds received in defense of
their country on a foreign battle
field. Hundreds of families of
these veterans are in need and For-
day will he held lesl

service overseas forget the sacrifice
that others made.
The money raised by the campaign
will he used to supplement the>vork
of the government in caring for the
disabled men, in helping men gc*.
| training, and to help those who are
i now in distress. Government aid is
i given on the basis of one dollar
I for what is officially rated as one

I must he at least 15 per cent dis-
I allied to receive any compensation.
A veteran wit hope leg shot off
only receives SSO a month from the
government, which amount improv

make His last appearance on the

while the court delivers its opinions.
In official democratic circles hen
there is a belief that the vacancy

months resigned to become chairman
of the American peace commission

the supreme court by President
Roosevelt in 1903.
Justice Day lias been regarded
by the bench and bar as one of
the most valuable members of the
supreme court. I uiformly courteous
and attentive, he closely followed
tin* presentation of the cases, and
while lie did not specialize on any
subject he was considered influen
tial in shaping the decisions of the
court in many important cases. He
delivered its opinions in the United
States Shoe Machinery and Southern
Paeific-Gcntral Pacific cases, and
wrote the dissenting opinion in
which Justices Pitney and Glarke

MRS. CORA LOU VINSON
GETS ANOTHER SENTENCE
Atlanta. Ga.. Oct. 24. Another
turn came in the case of Mrs. Cora
Lou Vinson today in Fulton Supe
rior Court when the case was for
mallv presented to a jury, a plea
of guiltv to the charge of murder
entered by her, mercy was recom
mended by the solicitor general and
that recommendation return by the
jury and a sentence of life impris
onment imposed by Judge IK N. Har
deman. sitting in this court.
This formalitv was taken as a
precedent in law. although Judge
John D. Humphries had already. >u
Saturday, imposed a sentence of life
imprisonment upon Mrs. Vinson,
without a jury being present, after
an agreement by the solicitor gen
j eral's office and lawyers for the dc
• tense. Thus Mrs. Vinson has once
heev sentenced to he handed l\
trial jury’s verdict: once sentenced
i to life imprisonment without a jury
and once sentenced to life impris
onment hv recommendation ot a
jury.

High Judicial Position.
Atlanta. Octobei 2k —or
not it is true that President Hard

an appointment would he ac-Tpl i! ;f

he w pro
prictv for him to do so.
Thai i epi>rl. cm ling from V 1

known in official circle: some time
ago that such an appointment could
and probabiv would Is. Undecid !•>
the governor if there was au> cer
tainty that In would accept it.
It is general!' understood among
those close to the governor th;r. it
is not his purposi to go to Wash
ington either in some oltieial <\ pa
fity or for the practice of law. Tit
rather that lie will re-enter the
practice of law in Atlanta, as he
has ulreudv indicated, and at { <
same time devote himself to his
newly proposed journalistic activi
ties. in which he will edit and pub
lish a vveebiv newspapi ; to dial with
state, national and international top

it is indicated that the publication

different lines from what nay be
expected b> political factions in the
state, since Mr. Hardwick Las indi
cated to them that it will not be
his purpose to attempt to build up
a factional organ, lad rather a con
