S $ ESCAPE
liVJLTS FATALLY
NEW DEMONSTRATOR
FQROMLY COUNTY
HAS ALREADY ARRIVED AND IS
ACTIVELY ENCAGED IN DIS-
CHARGE OF HIS DUTIES.
GEQRGE 8. YIOBLEY
WRITES FROM ABROAD
ARRIVES SAFELY ACROSS AND
IS READY TO STRIKE WHEN
THE TIME COMES.
Bert Byrom, a negro who was sent
to the county gang for 15 years at the
February term of court, for the bur
glary of Lester’s store, made his es
cape Saturday morning between 3 and
4 o’clock, by sawing through the bars
of the cage in which he was confined,
with a pair of scissors. The negro
had been feigning sickness for two
or three days so the authorities be
lieving him unable to work left him
locked in thee age while the guards
and other convicts were away at
work and it is supposed that he saw
ed the bars during the absence of
those, in charge.
Upon making his escape from the
convict camp he stole a Ford autoTno-
bile from a negro living nearby and
proceeded to what is known as the
old Waters place, about two miles
from Montezuma. A searching party
composed- of Deputy Sheriff 0. W.
Kimsey, and Ray Slade was formed,
and thinking that the negro had gone
back to his old home, went In that di
rection and obtained the information
.that the negroes of a lodge of which
ho was a member were raising a sum
of money to aid the negro in in mak
ing his escape, and .that they would
meet him at a nearby house Satur
day night at 7 o’clock.
The officers returned to Vienna, se
cured a larger, force and returned to
the meeting place of the negroes and
upon their arrival found thfir infor
mation to be correct, the negroes hav
ing already assembled and were pre
paring to leave in an automobile,
when the car choked down. The of
ficers commanded the negroes to
throw up their hands, but instead of
doing so they opened fire and Jumped
from the car in an effort to escape.
The shots were returned, resulting
in,one .negro, Joe Wood, being killed.
Track dogs were secured and the con
vict chased for about two and one-half
hours, the trail was finally lost in a
creek. So far nothing has been heard
from the negro, however, it is believ
ed that he was also wounded.
At the coroner’s inquest held over
the body of the dead negro, the jury
returned a verdict of justifiable hom
icide'at the hands of officers in the
discharge of their duty.
Mr. R. E. White, of Americus, has
been elected Demonstration' agent
for this county. Mr. White has had
two years experience in demonstra
tion work and .was for seven years
one of the instructors in the District
Agricultural College at Americus. He
arrived here last Friday and got im
mediately on the job.
The new demonstrator is enthusi
astic over Dooly’s Agricultural pros
pects after visiting several sections of
the county, he expressed surprise at
ending so many and such superior
agricultural advantages. He also ex
pressed gratification at seeing the
spirit of progress 'that is prevalent
among Dooly’s farmers.
Mr. White is thoroughly interested
in his work and gives promise of ren
dering valuable service to the county.
His family will remain in Americus
for the present due to the difficulty
of securing a home and the fact that
his children are in school there.
He announces that it his desire to
serve the entire county and invites i
the farmers to call on him at any
time.

out of the wagon in time to save him
self. Colonel Wall was not injured
and his car was only slightly damag
ed. The injured negroes were taken

As the war proceeds Dooly’s rep
resentation in the various branches
of war service increases. Already
many_ of her young men are across
the seas, participating, or ready to
take a hand in the fight. The mes
sages that come back from these are
such as would indicate that Dooly
will have no cause to be ashamed of
the manner in which she has been rep
resented when the great conflict is
over. The following letter is from
one of Dooly’ sons who is confronted
with the certainty of early And dan
gerous action and is calmly and eag
