Error in Benson’s Bakery Ad Sunday Through an oversight of a proof reader ‘‘night” was changed Inio “day” In the advertisement of Benson’s Bakery appearing in Sun day’s Banncr-IIoraid, which the pa per desires to say was an error. (1 Js glnd to correct, dr. Benson prepared his copy to id “All Bread Delivered to thr ires Every Morning Will Ik Baked the NIGHT BEFORE,* which of course Insures Its fresh ness. The advertisement as pub lished contained the statement that it would be ’’Baked the DAY Be fore.” Beqson's Bread Is noted for Itr (piality arid freshness and like nl‘ of thnt bakery’s products haa won more than a local and State-wide reputation for goodness.

Another mask was said to j have been worn by one of the Hudsons as he jumped onto running board of the negro’s chine. He still wore the mask, the officers said, when they reach ed the scene. There was a piece of heavy felt, which was wet, and which the sheriff’s deputies said was for use ar. a gag. The sheriff’s force reported that the Hudsons had given them con siderable trouble in recent years. It was the opinion of the sher iff’s office that the Hudsons were not attached to any organized flogging band, but were operating on their own hook. S. R. Hudson gave his age as 35 years, C. F. as 27 amf J. C. as 24. The county jailer w: ted not to accept bond men in the event any be offered during the night, pending a decis ion as to the other charges to be placed against the men. During the days of old Camp Wheeler, according to the sher iff’s office, the Hudsons figured in numerous difficulties. Som^ of them were taxicab drivers, it was stated, and one of them killed another taxicab driver, the sher iff said. ' Because of the past record of the .Hudsons, it was -learned at the sheriff’s office an hour after the arrests, an investigation is being made to determine if they are paid gangstres, receiving a certain amount of money for each flog ging.
