SHARP WITH MURDER IS
SWORN OUT AND THE OFFI
CER LEAVES TOWN.
Henry Trodder, a well kn<
Jbrlijr itfjson of Valdosta, and
m quiet add harmless negro, died eome
^ time Saturday night as a result of
, T^ablow on the head from a police
man’s billy In the hands of Police
man Sharpe.
A coroner's Jury Sunday after
noon returned a verdict that Trod-
-der came to his death from a wound
^caused by a blow on the head in*
•filcted by Policeman Sharpe.
A warrant charging Sharpe with
•murder has been placed In the hands
-of Sheriff Gornto, but It Is said that
•Sharpe left town on an outgoing
•train Sunday and that he has not
been seen since then, though some
of his friends have already consulted
lawyer* in hi* behalf and It Is un
derstood that he intend* to appear
for trial at the proper time. It was
eald this morning by one of bis
friend* that Sharpe does no-, wish
to lay in Jail until next November
ANOTHER SMITH MAY GET IT.
Report From Atlanta About Judge
Oscar Smith Was an Error.
Jt looks very much as If the re
port which was sent out from Atlanta
Saturday afternoon and which was
piloted in the afternoon papers of
that city in regard to the appoint
ment of Judge Oscar Smith as
member of the prison commission to
succeed Gen. Clement Evans was an
error and was due to the fact that
some of the newspaper people in that
city were trying to draw conclusions
from what Governor Smith had told
them.
It seems that Governor Smith, or
somebody who claimed to speak for
him, stated that the successor
General Evans would be a lawyer, a
former judge of the city court, who
lost out to Governor Brown and who
resides In the central southern por
tion of the state and is named
Smith. The governor may not have
said who it was, but the report got
out in Atlanta that Smith was the
man.
The newspapers concluded th*t tne
description fitted Judge r y Oscar
Smith, of Valdosta, though ' f t®F 1 Ma
con Telegraph correspondent thought
It fitted J. R. L. Smith, of Macon.
At. any rate, It seems that Governor
Smith has not .made the appoint
ment, or rather he has not told the
newspapers who wduld be appoint
ed, though a report to the Morning
News from Atlanta says that Judge
Oscar Smith is not the man.
We were hoping that Judge Smith
would get this hondr, because we
felt that he deserved It, that he
cculd fill the position ably and that
ihe honor would foe appreciated by
the people of this section.

Saturday afternoon It was re

breaking his arm and Injuring hi*
spine and hip Bo a* to disable him

that he Is still disabled and he ex-

result of the accident. -
The railroad denies all of that and
says that the train stopped at Face-
vllle and had started off again when
Mr. Culberson attempted to get off.
The road claims that It was his own
carelessness that caused the acci
dent.
