Marks, Proprietor HENRY T DIED Of BLOW FROfiH CLUB Well Known Negro Hit by Policeman and Died ^WARRANT CHARGING OFFICER 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.

The occurrence was a very fortunate one and It 1. regretted by all classes of people. It seems that Policeman Sharpe had arrested negro dow„ near the depot and was carrying him to the city prison. In tending to enter the prison from the Tear door of the city hall. It that Trodder and. Me broth er, Lewis, were standing on the pared walk almost In line where the officer and his prisoner were walk ing. The officer had had a little trouble with the prisoner and he was probably afraid that when hi* got where there were other negroes the prisoner would gtre more trouble. As they approached' the two negroes on the walk the officer called to' *° m0 ‘l" 10 »"d wort homo, though them to get ont of the way and * 1 ® wa * com;,lair'ig ruli ula he- they paid no attention to him. It Is said that he shored his prisoner Jug Peddlers Were Arrested. Saturday afternoon It was re ported to Sheriff Gornto and Deputy Parrish that some jog peddler* named Snipes were drunk about a mile from town and were creating a disturbance there. The officers went out and arrested the two men and placed them In Jail, where they remained until Sunday afternoon when they pnt np a bond of |100 each and were released. U. S. COURT RESUMED WORK THIS MORNING Opened at 11 O’clock and Got Down to Work FIRST CASE CALLED WAS A DAMAGE SUIT AGAINST AT LANTIC COAST LINE FOB PER- SONAL DDMAGES. (From Monday’s Dally.) The federal court resumed Its work this morning at eleven o’clock. Judge Sheppard returned from'Jack- EonvlIIe, where ho spent Saturday Valley, 222\nUes. and Sunday, wp the morning train. The first caso that was called this morning web a suit of Key. O. t*. Culberson, of Decatur county, tor damageg which: he alleges to hare received while getting off the train at Facovtlle In February, 1909. He claims that he came np from Chattahoochee and that the train did not stop at the station, a* It should have done and he went ont on the platform to get off. He says ths train Jerked forward and threw him to the ground, spraining his wrist, breaking his arm and Injuring hi* spine and hip Bo a* to disable him for more than a year. . He claims that he Is still disabled and he ex- pecta his Uf e to be shortened as • 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. There are about a dozen wltn. OB in this case and Mr. Culberaon was the first one sworn. Ho was on the stand a good while today and his evidence was Interesting. Ho Is a farmer, about sixty years old and he Is also a Baptist preach er, haring charge of three churches in Georgia and Florida. He says that his income from bis churches is from 1250 to 2300 a year, besides what he gets when hs "p around the baskets.” He says that 06,300,(Mm BOND ISSUE. f Railroad tJointm*Mion Grant* Fer- misfciun for New Railroud.
