Etta Ham Lost $24.50
From Pocket as he Slept
TROUHKIW WKUK FOUND IN HI8
YARD THIS MORNING COVER-
KD WITH A HANDKERCHIEF
AND MONEY GONE.
(From Wednesday'g Dally.)
Last night somewhere between
nine o'clock and daylight this morn
ing the thief, who has been fishing
clothing from the widows of resi
dences in Valdosta and robbing the
pockets, paid a visit to the home of
Mr. J. E. Ham (Etta Ham) and rob
bed his trousers of $24.50.
Mr. Ham la a hard working man
who tries <o keep his conscience
clear, so when he lays down at night
ho sleeps soundly Instead of laying
a sake plotting and planning. The
present summer has been an unusual
ly busy one with him, as bis canta
loupe crop was large, prices low and
it took hard work to keep things go
ing without big losses. All these
things together caused him to feel th
need of sleep when ho retired last
night.
His bed room window was left up
so sb to let the cool breezes come
In On a chair his clothing was
placed. During the night a thlof
entered his yard with a long pole,
which was run irto He room and bis
trousers were fished off of the chair
and gently lifted out of the win
dow.
In the pockets were $24.50 in
money and this amount was ap
propriated by the thief. Then the
trousoru wero gently laid undor a
troo and a handkerclef spread over
them. The thief then left for parts
unknown.
When Mr. Ham got up this morn*
tng and found that his trousers
were gone he was thoroughly non
plutaed. He asked bis wlfs what
she did with them, for he thought
CAR OF HORSES IN WRECK
A Freight Train on A. B. St A. had
a Rad Hmash-ap.
(From Tuesday's Dally.)
The freight train southbound on
the Atlanta. Birmingham and Atlan
tic was wrecked two miles north of
Moultrie Saturday evening, and the
track was torn up for a considerable
distance.
All passenger trains were delayed
and had to transfer passengers, bag
gage and mall. A peculiar featnre
connected with the wreck was the
marvelous escape of a carload of
horses In the train.
This car after leaving the track
was dragged Quite a distance on the
ties and finally turned completely
over In running down a steep em
bankment.
The force of the Impact was suffi
cient to tear the car apart and il-
low the horses to eseapa. and strange
to eay, not a single horse was killed
and only one slightly Injnred.
When the car broke apart they
scampered to the woods and It was
with considerable difficulty they
were finally corralled and driven into
town.
Marshal of Meigs Assaulted
Mr. Walter Winn was carried to
Thomasvllle and put in Jail yesterday
afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Reh-
berg and he Is charged with an as
sault upon the person of Marshal
Vicks, of Meigs. It seems that Mr.
Winn became Involved in a contro
versy with a prominent merchant
of Meigs, Saturday, and tho Mar
shal was told to arrest him.
Mr. Winn was reported slightly
Intoxicated and after going a cer
tain distance with the Marshall, de
cided he would not take the remain
der of the trip and began to kick
and rnlAo general Ned for several
minutes. Tn th© melee, Mr. Vicks
was hit on /the collar bone with an
article which he believes was a bot-
The collar bone was broken,

later Investigation demonstrated
the fact that the trousers bad been
lifted from the window and robbed.
The pole which the thief used to
get them out with was found fn the
yard.
RAIN DAMAGING COTTON CROP.
Imports From Brooks County Indi
cate Too Much Rain There.
(From Thursday’* Dally.)
Parties who have recently come
to Valdosta from the river bend of
Brooks county report that too much
rain has fallen In that section re
cently and that cotton Is beginning
to suffer from too much moisture.
It is said that that section has
had floods of water when there was
no rain this side of there. The ra*
suit Is that the cotton has become
too bushy and the hot sun of the
past two or three days caused it to
shed and rust
Crops of all kinds are at a very,
critical Juncture now, as a little too
much rain would be disastrous to
them, while a lack of rain would
prove equally disastrous. Old farm
ers say that dry crop years are usu
ally the most satisfactory, because
ci ops can stand much more dry
v/eather than they enn rain, and be
cause a wet crop year requires a
continuation of moisture, though it
is very seldom that the seasons will
continue Just rl#ht long enough to
bring tho best results.
In this Immediate section crops
arc In very fine condition and tho
ruins of the past day or two have
helped them very much, as they
were needing moisture. The out
look Is that there will be more rain,
find it will ho an easy matter to get
too much of It.
— Money for tho Formers.
There are about three hundred
and fifty farmers in Lowndes county
who have checks awaiting them AC 1
th e Merchants Bank, being dividends
that were recently paid by the Al
liance Warehouse. It Is understood
, that tho dividend was about
per cent or $3.00 on each share
j^vhich originally cost $10.00
