TWO MEN ESCAPE
FROM COUNTY JAIL
5 _
[Whites Make Quick Get-
Away Into Swamps in
Broad Daylight.
Two white men, Alston Welsh and
John Hatcher, escaped Friday at
noon from Jefferson county jail,
making a quick getaway into the
Swamp.
The two prisoners have been rath-1
rr bold during their confinement, I
having at various times sawed the
iron bars of the windows, hacked
with a hatchet at the door and dug
Into the cement with various in
struments smuggled to them by
friends. Their first escape was con
trived by the use of iron wire sus
pended from above, so as to lift
the bolt and heavy latch on the
door.
At noon, Claude Pewslcy, colored,
went in to feed the prisoners, and
one prisoner asked for a dose of
medicine. While he stepped just
outside to get it. Welsh and Hatch
er worker the trick that thdy had
devised, on the cage door slipped
out of the outer door, on down the
steps, across the railroad and into
•the swamps. Claude did not miss
them on bis return to the room,
but continued with his work. M.
Andrew Jones, prominent farmer, of
this section, was working some
hands in the timber close by the
railroad track, and he saw the men
| dash frantically into the woods.
Became suspicious of their conduct,
and called at the jail, Tiis inquiry
being the first news of the es
cape.
Sheriff Thomas was in another
part of the county on business, and
Deputy Marshal Clarke Wright
took charge at once. He rushed in
a car to the convict camps for the
county bounds, but had to go many
out of the way before he
rould secure the dogs, and in the
meantime a heavy rain had fallen,
making the tracking very difficult.
It was found that Welsh and Hat
cher had seperated, going in oppo
site directions, hut owing to the
.rain the chase was abandoned. All
possible steps are being taken to
recover the prisoners.

THE NEWS AND FARMER
LEGION GETS BEHIND
BOY SCOUTS
Boys Promised Co-operation
By Ransom S. Rabun Post.
The Ransom S. Rabun Post of
the American Legion held its reg
ular meeting on Friday at its club
rooms in Louisville. After suppef.
Post Commander Roy V. Harris in
troduced Rev. S. S. Tinkler, of Lake
Wales, Fla., who made the address
ov the evening.
Rev. Tinkler took occasion to
stress the wonderful results being
acieved by the Boy Scouts. He stat
ed that it was absolutely necessary
for the local post of the Legion to
have some definite purpose or end
toward which they worked, and that
he knew of nothing better they
could undertake than to co-operate
with the Boy Scouts in their work.
He stated that at Lake Wales, the
local post of Ihe Legion has spon
sored the Boy Scout movement and
that both scouts and post had been
helped thereby.
The suggestions of Rev. Tinkler
were enthusiastically received by
the members of the post, and after
a spirited discussion, the following
resolutions were unanimously pass
ed.
Whereas, The Ransom S. Rabun
Post of the American Legion is fa
miliar with the work being accom
plished by tile Boy Scouts of Amer
ica. and is thoroughly in sympathy
with the movement and its pur
poses.
And, Whereas. The post feels that,
owing to the small number of act
ive troops in Jefferson county, the
boys of the county arc being de
nied the training that will so ad
mirably fit them for life, and that
thereby the county will lose pari
of the progress to which it is just
ly entitled.
Therefore, Be It Resolved, By the
Ransom S. Rabun Post that the post
go on record as desiring to foster
the Boy Scout movement in Jef
ferson county; that a committee be
appointed to promote the organiza
tion of scout troops in those towns
that are wihout a troop; and that
all existing troops in the county be
assured that this post is ready and
anxious to assist them in every way
possible, and that they be request
ed to call on this post for any
service it can render.
It is expected that the members
of the post will get in solidly be
hind this movment, and that with
in a short while all of the towns of
Jefferson county will be able to
hoast of scout troops worthy of the
name.

Story of Suchou) Bandits Related
By Man Sent to Carry Demands
Tientsin, May B.—Government
troops are believed to have been
completely surrounded at the
bill strongholds where fifteen
foreigners are being held by the
Suchow bandits, according to C.
G. Jacobsen, inspecting engineer,
for the British-Amcrican Tobac
co Company, who ran a gauntlet
of bullets to carry the bandits*s
demands to the outside. Jacob
son arrived here today.
Jacobson told a graphic story
of separate dashes made by him
self and Miss Schonberg. another
captive .through “a no-man‘s
land’’ swept by the fire of the
bandits and the pursuing sol
diers; of how he reached the
troops' lines waving his cotton
underwear as a flag of truce
after he had been overpowered
and disarmed the last brigand
be encountered: of Miss Schon
berg s nerve in braving the hul
let-rakrd zone after the bandit
guard in the doorway of their
prison bad been shot down by
rifle fire from the besieging sol
diers.
Marched Steadily.
Jacobson said the entire party
after their capture Sunday morn
ing were marched steadily three
hours across country, up into the
hills to the east. After gaining
“HE WHO WOULD REAP
WELL MUST SOW WELL”
Tt is reasonable to suppose that
all of us would like to succeed with
our farms. To reap well and gather
a good harvest is a laudable ambi
tion. I remarked to a friend a few
days ago that it is a very difficult
and perplexing proposition to suc
ceed with the farm under present
conditions- He took issue with me
and let me to sec bis position. Men
must make a business of their farm
ing—they must know it and give it
their time and attention. They must
know their crops as the merchant
knows his goods, and if the farmer
would put the thought and energy
and interest to his farm that the
merchant puts in bis business he
will most certainly reap well. Most
of us let our farms run us instead
of bring the moving force ourselves.
I Intelligence dominates and all things
i terrestial can he controlled by the
skill and ability of the human mind.
; Knowledge is the greatest barrier to
! progress.
One must know how to do a thing
before be can do it. And if he does
n’t succeed it stands to reason that
he doesn’t know how. Observation,
thought and knowledge are some ar
ticles very much needed iu vu: oc
cupation. 1 can say this because I
am a fanner myself. Man’s mind
with the right training can solve all
problems. There arc a great many
farmers making good in Georgia,
and in all cases you will find a
thoughtful, intelligent and a busi
ness man. I have also observed that
SLANDER ACTION OF P. E. CLARK AGAINST T. B.
KELLEY RESULTS IN VERDICT FOR CLARK—SSOO
The city court of Louisville was j
in session three days last week and
several very warmly contested cases
which had been hanging on the
docket for sometime were tried and
disposed of.
Among the cases tried was the
slander action of P- E. Clark against
T. B. Kelley. It seems, according to
the petition of the plaintiff, that
Mr. Kelly was alleged to have made
certain slanderous remarks concern
ing the plaintiff which tlie plain
tiff contended were false and tended
to injure his character and good
name. The defendant denied having
made some of the remarks but ad
mitted others and claimed that they
were privileged.
NEW TRIAL GRANTED TO W. C. MARION
ON ACCOUNT OF RELATIONSHIP OF JURORS
It will be remembered that at the
November term, 1922, of the superior
court of Jefferson County, that
W. C. Marion was convicted on the
charge of fradulont hank insolvency
growing out of his connection with
the Jefferson County Bank of Wad
ley and was sentenced for a period
of five to eigh years in the peniten
tiary.
A motion for new trial was duly
filed by the defendant and it was
made to appear by the defendant
that two of the jurors which tried
the ease were disqualified by reason
of relationship to depositors in said
bank and upon this ground Judge
R. N. Hardeman was compelled un
der the law to grant anew trial. It
seems that the relationship was un
known to the jurors or to anyone
connecter with the case and in such
cases there is nothing left to be
done ereept grant anew trial.
It is not knowrn whether a quali
fied jury can be obtained in Jeffer
son County but it is the purpose
of the court to sift the jury box and
ascertain whether it can be done. If
it can't be done it will then be
necessary for the case to be trans
ferred to another county. Jurors re
lated, within the ninth degree by
blood or marriage are disqualified
to serve in a criminal case, and
since there were two branches of
the Jefferson County Bank —one lo
cated at Wadley and the other at
Matthews, with a great many cred
itors, stockholders, and depositors
scattered over the county, it be
comes a problem to yet a jury. How
ever, it is hoped that a jury can
be obtained in this county where it
will be more convenient and expedi
tious for all parties concerned.
The case is very warmly contest
ed by both the state and the de
the high ground they were brok
en up into groups which were
led off in different directions
His party, numebring eight, in
cluded Major Pingle. Miss Shon
berg. the major's son, Boland,
and a Mexican couple.
They were driven over douL
dor strewn trails, across hills
2.000 feet high for another two
or three hours and finally reach
ed a walled enclosure —the ban
dits' stronghold.
Two hours later soldiers ap
peared on the sccenc and imme
diately opened fire. The only
protection for the party was the
seven-foot wall about the com
pond and they crouched in the
corner under the bullet hail,
hungry and miserable. They had
no food and their clothing was
scant.
After a consultation the ban
dit chief agreed to the sugges
tion that one of the foreigners
be sent out to the troops to ar
range for his passage through
the lines to Peking to negotiate
a ransom for the remainder.
An Italian lawyer of Shanghai,
Chevalier Musso. was chosen as
the emissary. He started but re
turned almost immediately as
the troops redoubled their fire
on his appearance. Then Jacob
sen undertook to make the dash.
those who succeed most are those
who most love their work and most
truly desire to succeed.
Plenty of good men, the best citi
zens the country affords, are still
running their farms and greatly en
joying them. In spite of the fact
that it has been proven (?) time and ,
again, that agriculture in all of its ;
departments is conducted at a loss. !
some farmers arc living quite well.
In some mysterious way they send
their children to school, build com
fortable homes, improve the value
of their farms and present a very
happy appearance. Well, you say,
bow do they do it? 'Hie answer is:
knowledge, faith and co-operation.
They use modern and up-to-date
methods. They put their whole soul
into their work and their farm- And
not only that but they arc giving
considerable time to that big and
unselfish task of mating their com
munity what it ought to be—“a com
munity of comrade farmers, co-oper
ating farmers, a community wtih
more of beauty and thrift and neigh
borliness and intellectual stimulus
in it,” than would have been bad
it not been for bis efforts. One nev
er rises very much above bis com
munity. You must climb and lake
your neighbor with you.
It is your duty to stand for high
ideals in your community, inspire
your neighbors to a desire for bet
ter things and talk for more knowl
edge, faith and co-opcration among
the farmers.

After a very warm contest by the
parties and counsel on both sides in
which much was said pro and con
and after the charge of the court
the jury returned a verdirt in favor
of the plaintiff for the sum of SSOO.
The plaintiff only asked for a nom

-BUNKUM AFTER
THE BOLL WEEVIL"
Unfortunately the framers of our
insecticide laws did not foresee and
devise means of preventing such ex
ploitation of the cotton grower as
he is now experiencing at the hands
of selfish parties marketing various
boll weevil nostrums. The U. S. De
partment of Agriculture has rccenth
made some announcements in a very
modest way concerning the compara
tive worthlessness of ’‘Secret” pre
parations for protecting the cotton
plant. These announcements per
haps have not rccived the newspaper
space their importance deserves,
whether this has any connection
with the considerable amount of ad
vertising paid for by the “discover
ers,* “practical farmers’’ scientists”
ct al. who market them, is best
known to the parties involved.
It is not easy to understand why
planters will willingly pay 60 cents
or a dollar for a gallon of dope
which doesnt contain more than 25
cents worth of calcium arsenate, un
less it is his lack of understanding
of the facts. They do it though
and go back for more.
With the present knowledge of the
j problem those mixtures which do
not contain one of the arsenates can
|he classed as absolutely worthless
i for weevil control. And the value
| of those which are built up round a
small content of arsenate should be
based on the amount of arsenic and
hinder they contain and on nothing
else. Other “secret” substances add
! cd to attract the weevil to the poison
| are just so much bunk. Capable
and thorough scientists have recom
mended certain ways and means for
combatting this boll wevil pest. Their
results were given freely to Ameri
can farmers. The methods they ad
vocate are those that have survived
their extensive tests. Under some
conditions possibly the methods have
i been modified to’ advantage—-note
| the aplication of calcium arsenate
as molasses mixtures rather than in
dust form.
Preparation of mixtures of molas
j ses. water, powdered arsenate, etc.,
is too simple a process to justify
addition of 200 per cent or more
to the cost. A person with intelli
gence enough to use arsenate pro
! tcction on his cotton can handle
most of the details of gelling the
material in the proper suspension.
It is not the purpose of this bul
letin to recommend any treatment
or means of boll weevil control.
These have been given out thousands
of times and by as many agencies.
But the Georgia Experiment Station [
i docs earnestly urge that, before the ;
cotton grower spends his honest 1
j money on fakes (which arc usually
backed up by testimonials), lie con
i sider whether or not he is able to
make pp his own mixture from what- 4
j ever ingredients be wants to use.
All the propagandism connected
I with distribution of named prepara
| tions, the containers, the “secret”
(and worthless) lure for weevils
freight on the bulk of water, and
other incidentals must cost some
thing. Possibly it is passed on to
the used. Such stuff doesn’t add a
fraction to the insecticidal value of
the preparation. The farmer can
1 buy arsenate of lead very nearly as
! cheap as any body else and if be
prefers to use some sort of liquid
mixture in preference to the govern
ment dusting method, it is not neces
sary for him to buy water, nor is
molasses hard to obtain. His home
made mixture will be just as effect
ive, whether be labels it “Weevil-
Colic” or just calls it plain ‘calcium
arsenate-molasses suspension.’

COMMISSIONERS PRAISED
State Highway Department
Highly Commends Work on
Louisville-Wrens Project.
Representatives of the state high
way department made an inspection
of the work being done by Jeffcr
ton County on the state highway
project from Louisville to Wrens
This project calls for a sand-clay
road from Louisville to Wrens, with
! concrete bridge over Big Creek
They stated that they were well
pleased by the character of the work
being done by Jefferson County and
the progress being made. In fact,
j they stated to the commissioners
that the county was moving more
| dirt on this project and accomplish
ing more in proportion to the labor
than any other county in the state.
It is very gratifying to know that
our county is keeping pace with
the rest of the state in road work,
and that our people are receiving
full value for the money expended.
It is expected that this road will be
completed within the next few
months, work alreadx having been
completed from Louisville to Big
Greek. As soon as shipments of
material arc made, work on the
hridge over this stream will begin
and road pushed rapidly on to
Wrens.
