“It touches the liver and does the work,” Mr. Stacy

family if it wasn’t for Black-Draught. It has saved us many
dollars ... I don’t see how any family can hardly go with

NEGROES WOUND
POSSE MEMBERS
FOUR WHITE MEN AND A NE
GRO SLIGHTLY WOUNDED
IN ALABAMA.
Columbus, Dec. 30.—Four white
men arc wounded, one negro is shot
in the foot and two . negroes are in
jail as the culmination of a battle at
the home of L. C. Hill, one of the
negroes in custody, six miles from
Pittsview, Ala., early this morning,
following an alleged attempted crim
inal assault upon the wife of a well
known white citizen of Russell coun
ty.
The negro made his escape, after
covering the man and his wife, it is
said, backing to the door and dash
ing from the house.
Riot guns were dispatched from ;
here early this morning by Chief
Moore, following a request from
Hurtsboro, which stated that six I
white men had been slain, and that i
eight negroes had barricaded them- j
selves within a house and the posse j
was unable to get in shooting dis
tance.
Those Who Were Wounded.
The men wounded were: Deputy H.
T. Dozier; bullet ill left shoulder*,
gunshot wounds in wrist and side;
G. A. Hart, wounded in knee with
gunshot, and shoulded by bullets;
Walter Bagley, face peppered with
birdshot; Joe Bagley, pistol wound in
right and left side.
L. C. Hill, the negro accused of
having attempted to commit the al
leged assault, was shot" when he re
sisted, it is said, as officers attempt
ed to handcuff him.
The four wounded white men, with
H. J. Rutherford, L. A. Brown, Rob
ert Bagley and Julian Hunter, went
to Hill’s home shortly after 2 o’clock
this morning with a warrant, which
the husband of the woman had sworn
out.
It was agreed that Deputy Sheriff
Dozier should go to the door, while
the others should bo stationed around
the house. It is said Dozier called to
Hill, who is said to have replied that
“he could not go till morning, my wife
is sick, and I’ll go anywhere you say
then, Mr. Dozier.” “I’ll have to ask
you to come along now,” Mr. Dozier
replied, whereupon Hill struck a light
and began dressing.
A general rush of the party of dup-
utized officers then followed, it is
said, and more than one hundred shots
were fired. Load after load of buck
shot and birdshot was fired, while
some members of the party were
armed only with pistols.
Negroes Arc Arrested.
Hill was turned over to Sheriff
Ragland, who then went back to the
house and arrested Cleveland Hill, his
brother. The negro did not offer the
slightest resistance, according to the
sheriff.
Pittsview people were entirely calm
before noon today. Conflicting sto
ries of the alleged attempted assault
doubtless accounted for the lack of
interest.
Press reports from Columbus, un
der the date line of Hurtsboro, Pitts
view and other cities, have vivid pic
tures of the shooting, but the com
munity is entirely peaceful and first
reports were badly exagerated and
exceedingly erroneuos.
No further trouble is anticipated.
GOES TO SCENE
OF CRIME AND
KILLS HIMSELF
Moultrie, Ga., Dec. 31.—Drawn
back to the scene of his crime by the
strange power of his own guilt, T.
J. Gibson, a Brooks county negro, who
shot and killed his wife, drew a keen-
edged razor across his throat and al
most severed his head. Gibson’s sui
cide came after he had been hunted
for a week for the cold blooded and
hasty murder of his wife. The woman
was holding a three-months-old baby
in her arms when her husband shot
her to death.
Gibson fled. Brooks county officers
were on his trial within a short time,
but they were unable to effect his cap
ture. And as the hunt was waning
and the negroes of the community
where the crime was committed were
beginning to talk about other things,
Gibson returned home. He went to
the spot where his wife was sitting
when he fired the bullet into her body
that killed her, took out a razor, de
liberately drew it across his throat,
nearly lifting his head from his

Can Guessing Win?
Between the prices paid to the producer and by the
consumer there is a staggering difference.
Therd is one way to assure both farmer and con
sumer a fair price for food—that is through careful Farm
Cost Accounting. The Farm Bureaus are instituting
a national campaign to hurry the Government inves
tigation of the costs of actual food production and
distribution. Once the whole problem has been care
fully and publicly sifted, it will be possible to put
prices on a basis of justice to both producer and con
sumer and to eliminate the unreasonable unearned
profits that are made “in the dark.”
Every farmer owes it to him
self to further the cause by lend
ing his individual support to the
work of the Farm Bureau.
There’s only one sensible way
to run the race for fair profits.
Leave in the stable the willing
but crippled mule, Farm Cost
Guessing, and make the run
ning on the thoroughbred, Farm
Cost Accounting. It’s the only
way to win.
This conclusion is not a snap
judgment by The Country
Gentleman, but the result of
careful study. Our editors and
investigators travel 300,000
miles a year to study farm prob
lems and to report the best
farm opinions of the country.
We voice the honest opinions of
the American farmer. The
Country Gentleman contains
famous fiction, striking pictures,
great cartoons, and lots of
smiles—it comes 52 times in a
year—but perhaps it is most
appreciated for its practical
helpfulness. It makes money
for farmers. Only $1.00 for a
