JURY
OUT AT NI6HT
Jurors in Suit of Mrs. Roberts
vs R. C. Hagan Were not
Able to Agree.
(From Friday’s Daily.) #
A Jury in th© case of Mrs. J. W.
Roberts against R. C. Hagan, j suit
involving the lease of a farm, re
mained out all night last nlglit and
was unable to agree thie morning
The case went to the Jury yester
day afternoon about four d’clock
the ibody had it under advisement
until ten or eleven o’clock last night,
when it became apparent that the
jury would hardly agree during the
night. The jurors were sent to the
Valdes hotel for the night and the
court officials went to their home.
After breakfast this morning the
jury returned to the court house and
began to wrestle with the case again
About ten o’clock Judge Thomas
called the Jurors into the courtroom
and asked them if there were any
points of law that he could enlighten
them on: they said there were'not.
The Jurors remained in court toom
a short while and were sent (back to
the Jury room to take up the case
again.
It is not known how the Jurors
stand on the case. The case Is one
where the plaintiff claims that she
leased her land for a period of two
years and that tho time had expired.
Mr. Hagan claims, and the contract
show*, that th contract that the lease
was for two years with the privilege
of five provided the land was not
sold. He niso claims that he has
planted this year's crop and that he
will lose heavily by having to give
up the place now. Mrs. Roberts
claims that she did not read the con
tract and that when It was signed
she did not know how It was worded
Yeterday afternoon the case of
Miss' Julia 8timmerfleld against W.
F. Davis resulted In * verdict for
$42.50, or Just half oftto^mount
This closet^up the Sotffc %r the
present term with the exception of
one case which may be tried next
week. That Is the ease of A. G. Gar-
butt Lumber Company vs. J. H.
Simms et al. an injunction suit to
stop the cutting of timber on certain
lands claimed by the plaintiffs in
Echols county.
Criminal Docket Next Week.
The criminal docket next week
promises to be a very large one, ns
the grand Jury has been finding many
Indictments nnd a numlber of cases
will probably be tried at the present
terra.
Marcus Clanton and Alonzo Clan
ton wero Indicted for assault with
Intent to murder W. L. Clements at
Barretts two or three works ago.
Tho grand Jury also indicted W.
L. Clements on a charge of sellir
whiskey In violation of the prohibi
tion law. There are two cases against
him, but it fs likely thnt they will
he tried before Judge Cranforrd of
the city court.
Joe Baker was indicted for mur
der and E. A. McCarver formerly
agent of the Georgia Southern depot
at Lake Park was Indicted for steal
ing two bales of cotton that were be
ing shipped through that place.
Hadley Howell waa Indicted for
assault with Intent to murder and
a numlber pf other Indictment* have
been returned.
Fear Ravages 0 f Cow Pea Bug.
Fearing that the cotton crop may
bo damaged seriously If not entirely
ruined by the ravage* of the cow
pea curculio, which has recently
made Its appearance on cotton stalks
in certain portions of Georgia, W
H. Ward and others of Ohoone
Toombs county. Go., have forwardeo
to Congressman Edwards a Jar of
the parasite* which have been turnon
over to Dr. L. O. Howard, entomolo
gist of the Department of Agricul
ture for examination.
These bugs have never before
been known to eat cotton stalks, al
ways confining their destruction t f
tho pea vine. It Is belle void that un
less something Is done quickly cot
ton growers will suffer greatly when
the parasites spread from section to
section.
A Burglar'* Awful Deed,
may not paralyze a home so com
pletely as a mother's illness. But
Dr. King's New Life Pills are a
splendid remedy for women. “They
gave me wonderful benefit in consti
pation and female trouble," wrote

TJioniosrillo's Bcnutl/ul Courtesy.
When it is a matter of courtesy,
Thomasvllle is “on to the job.”
Our two Sunday schools held their
annual picnic in that city Tuesday
and the gracious hospitality mani
fested by the Thomasvllle people
toward the visitors wag just that
kind which makes everybody love
Thomasville.
A committee from the Board of
Trade met the special train, gave
the picnickers a cordial welcome to
the city, escorted them to the park,
offered them automobiles, had ar
rangements made for every neces
sary want and did everything possi
ble for their comfort and pleasure.
That was so like Thomasvllle, that
splendid old aristocratic city whose
people have been the standard of
refinement and culture for half a
century.
Very well, neighbor; we shall not
forget your kindness to our little
children and their escorts on this
occasion. When you can, come to
see us. We cannot hope to mani
fest any finer spirit, but we can at
least endeavor to emulate your beau
tiful courtesy and it will give us
pleasure to try.—Tifton Gazette.
Man Married Hl s Niece.
Lee Johnson, young white man,
26 year* old, who lives between here
and Berlin, eloped with his niece,
Mattie Johnson, Sunday and they
were married. The girl is a daugh
ter of Dan Johnson a prominent
farmer living In the same section.
After the ceremony Johnson and
his niece-wife went over into the
Bay settlement, about nine miles
from here. The Irate father of the
girl learning what had happened,
came to Moultrie and swore out n
warrant for Johnson. Deputy
Sheriff Rehberg went out aud arrest
ed him, bringing him to town and
placing him in the county Jail. The
girl was taken home over his violent
protest. She 1« apparently very much
attached to her unnatural husband
and loath to leave him.
According to the law, Johnson Is
guilty of the offense of marrying
within the prohibited degrees of
consanguinity. This 1© a felony and
Is punishable with a penitentiary
sentence of from one to three years
—Moultrie Observer.
Bound Over for Forgery.
A. M. Bell nnd C. T. Morgan were
nrreeted by Sheriff Newsom on a
warrant sworn out by W. L. Dixon
and Frank Purvfe charging them'with
forgery. A preliminary trial was
held before Judge McCall Monday
and he bound them over under a
bond of $350.
It appears that the two men had
gone to Mr. Dixon’s to soli him a
book and it N is charged that they
signed Dixon’s name to an order for
the book, to be delivered later, over
his protest. The same was 1 also
true in the case of Frank Purvis.
These two men believed that an
effort was being made to force them
to pay for a book they did not want
and hence swore out the warrants.—
