Mrs. C. 8. Bennett Died Sunday.
Mrs. C. S .Bennett died Sunday
"-morning about threo o’clock and the
funeral occurred Sunday afternoon
.at four o’clock, the interment tak
ing place In the city cemetery here.
Mrs. Bennett had been In very bad
health for the greater part of the
last two years, there betfig 'little
Improvement In her condition at any
time during that period. She bad
been under treatment in the hospit
al several times and had been there
for a week or two previous to her
death.
Mrs. Bennett was a native of De
troit, Michigan, and was marrlea
to Mr. Bennett In 1877. They re
sided in .the north for many years,
but had . traveled extensively during
the past twenty years. They had
been coming to Valdosta tor about
ten years and- moved to this city
to make their home about 6 years
ago.
Mrs. Bennett was a devout
member of the Methodist church,
having united with that organiza
tion about thirty-five years ago.
During her long illness she showed
great Christian fortitude and always
expressed a, readiness to go into the
future world, hor only regret was
to leave her husband who was al
ways kind and devoted to her, and
her many friends.
The funeral services were con
ducted Sunday afternoon by Dr.
J. H. Scruggs, ot the Methodist
church, the following gentlemen
•feting as pall bearers: J. B. Cur.
' ter, Den' Dowling, John Dasher, W.
A. Jenkins, Herbert Thompson, and
C. W. Stucky.
Mr. Bennett has a great many
friends In this section ot the state
who sympathize with him in his
great aorrovf. He and Mrs. Bennett
had traveled together ever since
their marriage and their lives were
unusually happy.
Dr. J. B. 8. Holmes will Move to
Tampa on'July First.
Dr. J. B. 8. Holmes, proprietor of
the Halcyon Sanitorlium. announces
that he expects to move to Tampa,
Fla., on the first ot July, and will
make that city bis future home.
Dr. Holmes goes to Tampa to ao-
cept an offer there which he could
not well turn down. The city has
about fifty-five thousand people and
there Is no private Sanltorlum there
except two that are owned by so
cieties and no patients are received
in them unless they belong to the
society. The people of Tampa, have
been trying to get Dr. Holmjes to
move his Sanltorlum there for some
time and the offer which they made
him Is a very attractive one.
He will occupy a large elegant
thirty-room structure that was
built on the grounds of the Tampa
Bay Hotel as "Bachelor’s Quarters’
by Mr. Plant when he built the ele
gant property. The mayor and
council have agreed to open a new
Btreet to this property and Dr.
Holmes is also to have an almost
unlimited lawn space and the rental
Is to be hardily a third of what he is
paying in Valdosta. He has been
given a five years lease to the prop
erty.
Dr. Holmes and his excellent wife
regret very much to leave Valdosta,
as there are many ties that bind
them to this city. The Halcyon
Sanltorlum has done a splendid busi
ness and is doing well now, so Dr.
Holmes' decision to leave ValdOBta
has not been on account of lack of
work, but rather It has been the
because ot the extra inducements of
fered him at Tampa.
Many Foreigners Come Here.
About forty-five foreigners have
recently come to this city to work
for the South Oeorgla Development
Company attheir Ipecan Jorchafids
several miles above the city. Most
of these people are unable to speak
English at all and several nationali
ties are represented among them.
Eight foreigners arrived last week,
among them being Syrians, Roum
anians, Bulgarians and several other
nationalities: .' -

GUN PLAY TO
MAKE ARRESTS
Bunch of Gamblers Drew
Gun* and a Fusilade Fol
lowed Saturday Night
Deputy Sheriff Parrish and his as
sistant, Mr. Harden, had a rather
lively experience on Dasher street
Saturday night when they went to
arrest some negroes'—who were
gambling in a house down that way.
The officers have been unable to
the house and looked In. They
watched the negroes playing cards
for some time and then pushed open
the door to make the arrest. As
the door flew open the negfoek all
jumped up, began to turn over chairs
and blew out the light. They also
drew their guns and four or five,
shots were fired. The officers re
turned the shots and one ot the pd-
groes was < shot through the thigh,
according to reports
Four or live negroes were arrested
and placed In jail, threo pistols be
ing taken off of them. Two of the
pistols had Just been fired. The ne
groes who were arested are named
BUI Cason, Asa Cason, Will John
son, and Owen Denson. They were
all placed In jail and will be held
on a charge of gambling, though
two or three of the parties will also
have to face a trial for carrying con
cealed weapons.
The -officers had been unable to
locate the negro who was shot, but
Deputy Parrish went In the country
today about seven miles to see a ne
gro who was wounded and who Is be
lieved to be the one who was shot
Saturday night
It Is not known whether this negro
was wounded by a shot from the
deputy’s pistol or a bullet from one
of the negroes guns, as the crowd
was badly mixed and the shooting
iby the negroes was at random.
