(BY W. W. DRAKE) Whether Radio messages, off the Pittsburg broadcasting stations will be vheard by the Summer School students at the University of Georgia all depends on whether an amplifier arrives in time or not All the other equipment required has been installed and an order fdr this' power amplifier has been placed several weeks. The Athens Engineering Co. has the order in charge and It is their belief that the power amplifier .will arrive by the first of July.

After Shooting Girl, Lee Knox, Negro Boy Turns Gun on Himself, Doing Much Damage. , , GIRL HAD MANY BULLET WOUNDS Shooting Occurred Near Southern Mills; Fruit less Love Affair Seen As the Cause. pr. J. S. Stewart, head of the University Summer School, is of the opinion that nearly fifteen hijndred students, not including the snort - course boys and girls, will bq in attendance at the 1922 ses sion of the Summer School. •This - number of . people means much to Athens during the sia °e eTe a dull summer season: and if the people of the city will cooperate sufficiently- with . th,e school au thorities they can help swell the nuiQher considerably. MODEL COOPERATION OF PALACE THEATRE •i.The school authorities state that 'such coopera,tion ‘as that shown by the management of the Palace theatre is the kind needed At a nominal cost this theatre has agreed to admit the Summer School students for two afternoons each week between the hours of two and seven. This gives each student twelve' moving picture shows during the session at a very small cost. ) The managements or the theif tre did this in a cooperative spirit to help boost a good feeling be tween the students and the busi ness interest of the city. A large numbef of these'students patronize the theatre anyway and the Palace actually makes nothing on the concession given the authorities NEED ROOM FbR. SEVERAL HUNDRED.. Lee Knox, colored, about 25 years old shot and instantly killed Annie Dell Williams, a negro wo man about 19 years old, at the plant of the Southern Manufactur ing Company at 8:30 Thursday morning.

The woman had come out of the mill, where both are ployed, through an alley, to look tor her breakfast that someone was to bring to her. Knox was waiting for her and when she came within close range of him h6 began firing with a 25 calibre automatic pistol. Several shots took effect and when he realized what he had done he placed tho gun on his right temple and pulled the trigger, the bullet entering his head and failing to come out. The police department was noti fied and Knox w r as placed under.ar rest and carried to the hospital for- treatment. Both negroes are married and live on North Lumpkin Street.
