We have Just* found out the
cause of the scarcity of. chickens
'.‘hereabout. The Atkinsor Mercan
tfla Company' shipped, as a week'*
collection, about 300 dozen eggs.
Besides this shipment, perhaps sev-
era1 times as many more were
. bought by the remainder of the
stores. Eggs are legal tender, so
to speak. We can’t say that they
will pass at the bank (at this time
-• of the year) as both the bank keep
ers are unmarried, but they go every

locomotives bought recently have

Quitman Papers Hit A. C. L. Official
and Ho Hits Rack.
During the last few days the two
Quitman papers have had their har
poons out for Mr. John F. Lamb,
the roadmaster of the A. C. L
One of them quoted him as saying
that there would be a new passen
ger depot at Quitman In the near fu
ture. He saw the article reproduced
In the Tlmes-Enterprlao and denied
having made such a statement.
Then the scribes from Brooks went
lout after him. They said that "for
tunately for Quitman” Mr. Lamb
was not the whole cheese on the
road. That If it were left to ljlm
probably Quitman would never get
a new depot, Judging from his ac
tion in the past.” Another state
ment was to the affect that "Mr.
Lamb was probably not in the con
fidence of his superior officers and
that a high official had told Mayor
Jelks that the town was to have a
new depot.”
The Times Enterprise does not In
tend that Mr. Lamb shall be as a
sheep dumb before the shearers. It
Interviewed,him the other day and
reply to the assertions of the
Quitman papers he said: "Those
folks or# mad at me because I
stopped their sewerage from cross
ing our tracks by Injunction. All
that T objected was the Free Press
making the assertion that I had said
they were to hav»a new depot. It
is true thgt I am not In the confi
dence of. the higher officials and
that Is .the very reason I did not |
make any such statement. I no

to say thlngs*fbat suit those fellows
my authority is good enough, but

KIDNAPPING
IS CHARGED
D. W. Byrd Arrested For
Recovering His Own
Children.
The very unusual case of a ipan
arrested for kidnapping his own
children Is at present engaging the
attention of Thomaavllle lawyers.
The person In question Is D. W.
Byrd. He Is now living at Raines,
Ga„ but was formerly employed here
as a mechanic by Jas. Grlbbcn. He
lived here with hla wife and three
little children, a boy and two girls.
It Is alleged that his wife, Annie
Byrd, who Is a native of Coolldge,
and T. R. Page, a native of Thomas
vllle, eloped together several months
ago. At any rate, they both went
to Memphis, Tenn., qnd the mother
took the children with her.
Byrd took legal steps to have the
children restored to him, and went
to Memphis a few weeks ago to get
them. He partly succeeded In his
attempt, bringing the two girls back
to Georgia with him. Yesterday an
officer from Tennesseo arrived 111
Thomasvllle and presented requlsl
tlon papers for Byrd. Ho had been
Indicted by a grand Jury In Memphis
for kidnapping. The names of those
witnessing against him were given
on the papers as T. R. Page and An
nie Byrd. Byrd’s attorneys, Roddcn
bery & Luke, sued out writs of ha
beas corpus and saved him from the
Journey to Tennessee, and the off!
cer went back empty handed. The
cose will, however, be fought out

was the guessing at the ortglqals of
Innumerable silhouettes, cut from I
paper and pinned on the wall. I
The young ladles went to many of
the members of the league and to
aome of the notables of the town, and
had them pose for their pictures.
They were made to stand near the
wall so that a' distinct shadow of
their profile would fall on the paper
prepared for It. The shadow was
traced with a pencil, and was then
cut. out. It Ir remarkable how
closely some of those crude like
nesses resembled their originals.
The object of the game was to guess
who these originals were. It might
be said In passing that almost no
body failed to Identify the pictures
of Judge Mitchell. L. H. Jerger, O.
J. Huson, and Irwin McIntyre. A
magnificent bunch of violets were
adarded to Miss Gruxard, of Co
lumbus, for guessing the largest
number of the silhouettes.

tween representatives of the South
ern Cqtton Association and the
Eastern spinners. Yesterday a tel
egram was received from him Ip

caused yesterday by the ginner's re
port can only be temporary, because
the report shows a short crop, and
also that practically all of the cot
ton In the country has been ginned.
President Jordan strongly urges i
all the farmers of the South to.
stand pat and hold on to what cot- j
ton they have. Spot cotton la at
