THE NEWS AND FARMER
MAY HOLD PAGEANT
ON JEFF DAVIS DAY
Savannah Fair Being Aided
by Relative of South’s
Leader.
Possibility of a pageant as the
main attraction for the Jefferson
Davis Highway Day at the Tri-State
Exposition is very favorable accord
ing to the management who receiv
ed a letter a few days ago from one
of the Confederacy Chief’s near re
latives, Miss Helen Gertrude Davis.
The plans are tentative at this time
but prospects are very good for
such an added attraction that will
be staged in honor of the South’s
great leader, and the people who
will form the motor cade from the
counties touched by this highway.
Miss Davis is the proud owner of
numerous personal effects which
the chieftain used during his war
activitied. She is a school teacher
of unusual talent and has written
and directed pageants for various
Jefferson Davis celebrations in
many Southern Cities- Her offer
to assist the Exposition in making
the day a success came as the re
sult of a newspaper article announc
ing the special day devoted to a
program tor the Jefferson Davis
Highway Association which will be
completed, it is hoped, by the dual
visit of the Governors of South
Carolina and Georgia.
October 31 will be truly a day of
multiple attractions as the speak
ing will take place in the afternoon,
and the pageant is planned to be
staged before the grandstand in the
evening. The presence of some 200
motorists, all members of the asso
ciation, who will be accompanied
by their county secretaries will
greatly swell the crowds. The day
will have a genuine South Georgia
atmosphere.

County in the association paying
five dollars each must be secured as
the outstanding qualification.
Dr. S. C. Ketchin, in an interest
ing talk, stressed the need of a

■ KILLED. TWO
WOUNDED 119 DOW
Miss. Vernon Altman, 16,
Killed and H. 0. Hearron
and Louis Ballenderger
Wounded in Affray at An
drews.
Florence, S. C„ Sept. 4.—A special
train arrived there tonight bearing
H. C. Hearron and Louis Rallender
ger of Andrews, S. C., to Florence
for medical treatment. The tw r o
men had been injured it was said
at the hospital by buckshot from a
gun alleged to have been fired by
James East. In the opinion of the
doctors at the hospital Ballender
ger has little chance for recovery
and the condition of Hearron is
serious. A buckshot ball entered
the skull of Ballenderger and pene
trated to some distance, it was said
at the hospital, and Hearron is
suffering from a number of wounds
in his back, also caused from buck
shot.
East was arrested and taken to
Georgetown where he was placed in
the county jail under heavy guard
for safekeeping.
East is a newcomer to this section.
He is employed as a telegraph
operator for a railroad. It is be
lieved he was transferred here from
some point in the west.
The trouble began Monday night,
according to those familiar with the
principals in the quarrel. At a dance
East is alleged to have slapped Ball
enderger in a fit of passion and Hcar
ron who was near had resented it
and cailed upon East to “pick on
someone more nearly your size.” The
quarrel then became heated and a
fist flghh ensued.
This morning East, according to
a police official, was arrested on a
charge of assault and battery and
fined $75 at' a hearing for his attack
upon Ballenderger. The warrant, if
was said, was sworn out by the par
ents of young Ballenderger.
About supper time, as Ballender
ger and Hearron were leaving the
former’s home they were hailed from
across the street by East and asked
to come out to the gate and talk to
him. Witnesses said that the two
youths expressed the belief at the
time that East was going to apolo
gize for his conduct of last night.
As the two drew near the op.posite
house. East is said to have run back
into the hall and appeared with a
shotgun which he immediately fired,
the loading of what was later found
to be buckshot, taking effect just
as Ballenderger and Hearron turned
to run. Hearron was shot in the
back and shoulders and Ballender
ger received shots in his head.
Miss Vernon Altman, 16, was just
driving up to her home next to the
Ballenderger home when the shoot
ing occurred and a stray shot made
her its victim, piercing her heart and
causing almost instant death.
F. B. Carpenter, a neighbor, hear
ing the shots and the scream as
Miss Altman fell, rushed out of his
house and found the two youths and
the young woman and called aid.
The arrest of East and the arrange
ments to care for the wounded fol
lowed. Feeling is high in Andrews
over the shooting.
Andrew, S. C„ Sept. 4.—Miss Ver
non Altman, 16, is dead and H. C.
Hearron and Louis Ballenderger,
young white men of this communi
ty are seriously wounded, the lat
ter probably fatally, according to
doctors, as a result of a row which
culminating in a shooting with a
shotgun alleged to have been in the
hands of James East, young white
man, shortly before 8 o’clock to
night.
Miss Altman was struck by a
stray bullet as she drove near the
scene of the quarrel where the gun
was discharged.
A special train left Andrews for
Florence a few minutes after 9
o’clock taking the wounded men to
a hospital.

EXECUTIVE MATTERS
WILL NOT BE TAKEN
UP BY WALKER NOW
Governor Has Just Returned
From Vacation and Rest
Period of Several Days at
Old Home in Monroe.
Atlanta, Sept. 4.—None of the
pending executive department mat
ters are to be cleared up right away
by Governor Clifford Walker, who
returned today from a vacation and
-rest period of several days at his
old home in Monroe.
“I simply relaxed and tried to
rest," said the governor. “As far as
possible I tried to keep from think
ing or planning on those things
which were not cleared up when I
left the office. I did take a number
of clemency cases with me, and read
over the records, but mainly I tried
to rest a bit from the period of
strain."
The matter of naming the tax
studying commission will not, the
governor says, be wound up before
the end of this week, and maybe
not before next week. He has in
mind some very prominent business
men in other parts of the state, and
it is his purpose to communicate
with them before naming the com
mission. When the commission is
named there will, as it is now plan
ned, he about one month of touring
the state and conferring with the
people in the various communities
on the subject of tax reform, after
which the commission will make a
report and recommendations and
upon this the legislation to be pro
posed at the extraordinary session
will be drafter.
Whether former Senator H. R. De
Jarnette of Eatenton. and Dr. Mc-
Pherson. of the University of eGSr
gia, both recognized authorities on
the subject of taxation, will be call
ed in an advisory or consulting ca
pacity is vet to be determined, but
it is known that, in connection with
whatever report the proposed new
commission will make the report of
the old DeJarnette commission—
which spent more than a year study
ing the systems all over this coun
try—will be measured in comparison
with the findings of the new com
mission.
There is reason, apparently, for
the growing conclusion that Gover
nor Walker’s real purpose, after •
full and complete discussion with the
people of the state by the proposed
commission, and that commission’s
report, to confer) .himself with the
commission, measure nis own ideas
and conclusions with whatever the
commission may find, and most like
ly he will thereupon outline himself
the form of hill or bills to be pre
sented to the extra session, and
these will be put before the legisla
ture as administration measures.

STAGE BEAUTIES LACKING:
MANAGERS MOURN BLONDES
New York—According to stage
managers there is a noticeable lack
of stage beauties these days and it
is feared that the situation will be
come serious before long. Blondes
long outnumbering their brunette
sisters in the legitimate drama, are
rapidly decreasing. Most managers
blame the moving pictures for their
troubles, but some say there is a
marked change in types of beauty.

CIRCUMSTANCES OF
CORFU OCCUPATION
DEFINITELY KNOWN
Italian Fleet First Sighted at
2;30 P. M. Last Friday in
Battle Formation Steaming
Northward.
Corfu, Island of Corfu, Sept. 4.
The bombardment and occupation
of Corfu by the Italian fleet were
carried out with startling sudden
ness and terribly effect and all the
attendant circumstances have now
become definitely established.
The Italian fleet was first sight
ed at 2:30 p. m., last Friday. It
was in battle formation as it
steamed northward along the Epirus
coast toward this city. Preceeding
it was a dirigible which circled
over the eastern part of the island.
By 3 o'clock two of the Italian
destroyers were anchored in the
harbor directly off the King George
Palace. Between that hour and four
o’clock, nine more warships enter
ed the harbor swinging into west
to east positions in front of the
town.
At 5 o’clock three blank shells
were fired from one of the destroy
ers at the right end of the battle
line and the city police began to
hurry the frightened and uncom
prehending crowds of civilians into
the streets and toward their homes-
At 6 minutes past five the Italians
began to shell the town. The fire
was directed at the old fort, or the
citadel, on the right and at the
civil police school on the left of
the town.
Mad Rush.
As the first shell exploded in the
police school there was a mad rush
of people from the street which
faced the water front. At intervals
during the next fifteen minutes
shells poured through the brick
school building or exploded against
the Venetian fortress wall at the
back and right of it. At the same
time shells were fired less frequen
tly against the citadel behind the
school. Nine refugees in the Citadel
were killed.
The sight in the Fort Barracks
where 300 Armenian orphans were
housed was pitiful. During the fir
ing Miss Margaret Hancock of the
lord Mayor’s fund, applied tempor
ary dressings to the wounded and
has been widely commended by the
other relief workers for her cour
age and coolness during the bom
bardment.
The Near East physician. Dr.
Arsian, end an American nurse,
Miss Priest, reached the wounded
as soon as possible and applied
dressings before they could be re
moved to the civil and near east
relief hospitals. One ward of the
orphanage hospital, was completely
filled with seriously wounded chil
dren. Two of these with terrible
abdominal wounds died the follow
ing day.
One little girl had her leg nearly
severed by a shell fragment. Five
of the orphan boys being cared for
by the near east relief were wounded
in the fort while coming down for
their afternoon swim.
There were no casualties in the
police school as all the students had
withdrawn, believing the place to
be exposed.
Five wounded, including three sol
diers were taken to the civil hospital.
One of these, a refugee, died.
Thriteen deaths have been certi
field. It is believed that a few
others who are missing were com
pletely obliterated by the shells.
All of the victims except the three
soldiers were refugees.
While the firing was going on H.
I. Kneeland of the Near East relief
and Gerald Graves, the British vice
consul decided to proceed to the Ita
lian flagship immediately. They
hoisted the British flag on a shore
boat and rowed to an Italian suma
rine chaser which lay about 200
yards beyond the Mole.
The commander of the chaser curt
ly refused to take them to the ad
miral and they rowed first to the
nearest battle ship anchored half a
mile out, where they were refused
a motor launch and then to the ad
miral’s ship a half mile further to
the west.
Before they reached the flagship,
the Conte di Cavour, a white flag
had been hoisted over the citadel
and the firing ceased. Twenty-five
shells had been fired into and over
the town without one answering shot
from the Greeks.
Eight thousand troops have been
landed by the Italians.
Mr. Kneeland and Mr. Graves in
formed Admiral Solari in command
of the fleet that the town was ab
solutely undefended and that neith
er fort mounted a gun. The British
vice consul protested against the
shortness of the Italian warning as
only 15 minutes had elapsed between
the time the Italian consul had in
formed him of the impending bom
bardment and the opening of tire.
Mr. Graves said he had no oppor
tunity to get British subjects out
of the line of fire.
Protested Against Firing
Mr. Kneeland protested against fir
ing against the police school which
endangered the lives of 1.150 near
east relief orphans.
The admiral replied that the fir
ing had been directed at the fort
back of, and above the police school.
He added that the demand for sur
render was presented to the prefect
of Corfu at 3 o’clock.
Admiral Solari, said favorable ac
tion had been expected from the
local Greek authorities but that at
4:30 the military commandant told
him that was impossible.
Before firing was begun Admiral
Solari told the protestors another
warning was given the Greek author
ities and at 5 o’clock three blank
shells were fired.
After a six minute interval gun
fire began.
JEFF DAVIS ROAD
IRK WILL BEGIN
Work on the section of the Jeff
Davis highway between Louisville
and Wrightsville, in Jefferson and
.Johnson counties, is to begin at
once following the designation of
Louisville as one of the county seat
cities along the Richmond division
of the highway.
The main points on the division
were settled upon at a conference in
Dublin Wednesday when it was de
cided that Louisville, Wrightsville,
Dublin, Eastman and Abbeville
should be included in the routr go
ing southward from Augusta. Rich
mond county. Part of the present
Swainsboro-Louisville road will prob
ably be incorporated in the Jeff
Davis highway.
That it should pass through Louis
ville and the county of Jefferson is
altogether appropriate for very good
reasons, civic leaders here declared.
The county authorities are offering
the very best of roads already built
while others are pointing out the fact
that this route is in direct touch
with the line leading from Richmond.
Va.. to Vicksburg, Miss., which is the
original proposed Jeff Davis high
way.
Isidor Gelders, editor of the Lead
er Enterprise, of Fitzgerald, and
primary spirit in the plan to build
this highway across the south in
memory to the great southern chief
tan, was a visitor in Louisville this
week and a guest of the local Ki
wanis club, to whom he made a most
interesting talk.
Mr. Gelders is executive secretary
of the highway association, of which
R. V. Harris, one of the representa
tives of Jefferson county in the pres
ent general assembly, is a director
from this county. With all the facts
before the committee which is to de
cide on the best route, it was thought
that no feasible route could leave
Louisville off the Jeff Davis high
way.
In discussion of the highway’s
coming through this county an in
teresting bit of history has been re
called. VHien Jefferson Davis was
making his flight through Georgia
to escape arrest at the hands of the
Federal officers, he stopped over
with Col. George Stapleton, near the
present town of Stapleton, and was
furnished with anew and fresh
horse the president of the Confed
eracy made his journey on toward
Irwinville, near which town he was
captured. It is stated that it was
the same horse Mr. Stapleton had
furnished Mr. Davis that the latter
had in his possession when captur
ed.
CONCRETE BRIDGE
OVER BRIAR CREEK
Wrens, Ga. —The building of a
$30,000 re-inforced concrete bridge
over Briar Creek on the Wrens-Au
gusta Highway is planned. The new
bridge will replace the present bridg
es of which there are four. Briar
Creek is the boundary line between
Jefferson county and Richmond coun
ty and this bridge which is known as
Patterson’s Bridge, will be built
jointly with the two counties and the
federal government furnishing the
necssary funds.
At a meeting held recently, when
the road commissioners of both
counties were present, plans were
laid out for the construction of the
new bridge. With the bridge, as
planned completed, the Augusta road,
which is called the Deans Bridge
road, will be complete as far as
bridges are concerned as one has al
ready been built and a second one is
under construction.
A $20,000 concrete bridge at Big
Creek between Wrens and Louisville
is under construction and will be
completed as soon as possible. Al
ready the highway between the two
towns has been built and when the
Big Creek bridge is finished it will
be the best road in the county. When
the road program of the two coun
ties is carried out Augusta and
Louisville will be linked with Wrens
with one of the best modern high
ways in the state.

DR. REVELL'S GARAGE
BURNS THURSDAY NIGHT
The garage and feedhouse of Dr.
S. T. R Resell burned about three
o’clock Friday morning. The fire
was well under way before it was
discos-ered by neighbors across the
street who rushed over to awaken
the family. The car was pushed from
the garage, hut not until the top.
the upholstery and the seats were
destroyed. The woodhouse burned
and also the feedhouse with its store
of feed for the hundreds of chick
ens. The fire department had some
trouble in getting water on the blaze
and so for a time it was feared
that the large buildings filled with
chickens would catch. Owing to the
material burned, the conflagration
was one of the most spectacular and
hottest of recent years, hut was soon
under control.
This is a good time to clean up and disin
fect the premises—especially the poultry
yard.
Cool weather will be with us soon, and the
mites that are left over from this summer
will go into “Winter Quarters,” and be
right there to worry the chicks again next
year, unless the poultry house is thoroughly
cleaned up now.
