Americus, t»a., June 111.—The
greatest haul of crapsliooter* ever
made here was landed this morn
ing when Sheriff Bell and a sqnatl
of policemen during the early
hours surrounded a bunch of thir
teen negroes in a cotton field.
The gamblers were seated within
a circle of lighted candles, too
much engrossed in crapping to ob
serve the approaching office/s who
corralled the entire layout.

Griffin, Ga., June 18 —Chief of
Police Phelps says his latest in
formation regarding the shooting
on tHb Southern train last night
is that eleven negroes are dead ns
a result. *
Van Mitchell and West Chunn,
two Griffin negroes,of bad reputa
tion, are held here us suspects.
They say the trouble was started
about a crap game that had been
going on all day. Three are said
to be dead at McDonough, five
were dead when the train reached
Griffin, and several liave died to
day at their homes.
A crap game had been started
on the trip up to Atlanta, and it
was continued as the train left
the terminal station. The negro
arrested here last night is said to
have started the fight, which
raged unceasingly until, Griffin
was reached. Accurate informa
tion is almost impossible to ob
tain, although it is reported here
tbtu one negro was found dead at
Flint river, besides those men
tioned above.
Griffin officers thank that ne
groes from here were largely mixed
np in the riot, and they are work
ing hard on the case.

Constitution’s Fight for

acon, t Ga., June 18.—The
stitution’s editorial Saturday
ing forth the necessities for
agricultural education in
rgia was a subject of general
ussion in Macon. In fatft,
thire are hundreds of people here
have been watching with a
gr4at deal of pleasure the splendid
fig}it that The Constitution had
been making along this line. *
W. H. Kilpatrick, of Walden,
who is one of the best educated
and most successful farmers in
the state, came into the oity this
morning and called on the secre
tary of the ohamber of commerce
for the purpose of discussing the
movements that are now bringing
so many immigrants into Georgia.
Among other things, he said:
"It is a great pity that we are.
obliged to go away from home to
get men sufficiently educated to
handle our magnificent farming
properties. I wish it were so that
oip own boy* courd meet the re
quirements of our state in this
line of industry, but it seems that
our whole soheme of eduoation has
been to direct the attention of the
boys to the oitiea rather than to
the oountry. The sohoois and
colleges appear to have been doing
everything in their power to direct
the eduoation of our youth away
from the farms. It is true that
in Bibb oounty, the publio sohoois
in the rural districts are begin'
nihg to pay attention to agricul
tural training, bat I am in favor
of changing the school terms for
these dtstriots to seven months,
Hifctead of making the boys go-to
school nine months of the year.
If.the school turn them loose iu
May or April, they could go into
the furrows and get practical edu
cation, and the work would make
them bigger and stronger men,
clesrer-headed and with greater
capacity for learning.'
"What we want is thorough
agricultural training for out boys,
snd we want sohoois that will
show them the beauties, rather
than the kind of schooling that
mpkfes finicky dreamers of them."
Firmer Kilpatrick was informed
that there ia at leait one commun
ity within 80 miles of Macon
which has over five hundred high-
grade Jersey Milch cows which are
not producing $1 worth of milk
or butter for market, and which
are not considered worth more
than five or six dollars a year each
to their owners, even though they
live throughout the year without
having one dollar expended on
them for feeding. He was told
that the owners of these cowS
have found it necessary to send to
the northwest to employ men of
sufficient agricultural training to
take charge or the cows and make
them profitable. He was told
that where the western farmer
counts each cow of this kind as
worth from $50 10 $100 net profit
each year, experts who have look
ed into conditions in Georgia de
clare that the Georgia cows should
produce 25 to 50 per cent greater
profit, and all that is .needed is
the proper training and education
on the part of the people who
attend to the cows.
He was told that the chamber
of commerce has now on file ap
plications from five Georgia farm
ers who wish to employ expert
help, and that such places are be-
made today at Delmar race track, ing filled almost daily by people
aix so-called bookmakers ’who have studied agriculture snd

assurance that a special term of
court would be called fox the trial

Valdosta, Ga., June 19.—The
confession of Alf Moore, arrested
for complicity with J. G. Rawlings
and Rawlings’ three sons in the
assassination of the boy and girl
of W. L. Carter, today was made

she was‘shot. The boy staggered
toward her, crying "Oh, Lord,
they nave shot sister."
Then the boy, Moore aaya, was
drawn into the house by bisraoth^
er.’ Moore says he heard the boy
begging his father for water, but

about to fire the house to drive its
occupants out.
