ONE NEGRO 1 ’.LED AND TWO OTHERS BRAVED TO HAVE BEEN WOUNlt.D. 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. MULE KILLED, NEGROES HURT Fitzgerald, March.—Saturday ev cning about 6 o’clock Col. J.
