PARALYSIS CAUSE
OF HIS ACCIDENT
HARRY HAWKER ADVISED TO
GO TO BED 18 MONTHS
AGO.
London, July 16.—Harry G. Hawk
er, the famous aviator who was killed
Tuesday last, probably suffered a sud
den stroke of paralysis, due to spinal
disease which causetj him to lbse
control of the machine in which he
was flying and crash to the earth, ac
cording to testimony introduced at
the inquest over the body today.
That Hawker did lose control of his
machine was established, and testi
mony was given concerning his phys
ical condition which came as a sur
prise in view of the fact that he was
entered in the 200-mile aerial derby
around London today.
A physician stated that Hawker
had tuberculosis of the spine and that
the disease had progressed so far
that a very slight movement or strain
would be sufficient to cause a rup
ture. The physician said he thought
Hawker was seized with paralysis.
The famous aviator had been advised
to go to bed eighteen months ago, he
asserted, but had persisted in flying.
Few of Hawkers friends knew the
smiling aviator had a deadly disease.

but with a recommendation of mer
cy by the jury which tried her on a
charge of plotting the killing of her
husband, Daniel F. Kaber. Under

the remainder of her life in prison.
Though the jury had not yet re
ported officially to the court, Judge

Mrs. Kaber was sentenced to life
imprisonment at Marysville, by Judge

verdict.
Mrs. Kaber is the first woman in
Cuyahoga county to be convicted of
first degree murder.
William J. Corrigan, Mrs. Kaber’.:
counsel, said he was well satisified
with the verdict. The same expres
sion was made by County Prosecu
tor Edward C. Stanton.

ready to report a verdict at 8:45
o’clock this morning after having de

The editor of Paisa Akbar, a native
newspaper of Lahore, Indiana, says,
“I have used Chamberlain’s Colic and
Diarrhoea Remedy many times among
my children and servants for colic ani
diarrhoea and always found it ef
fective.”
(minutes later and made official re-
i port of the verdict. Mrs. Kaber,
who was lying, limp in the arms of
a deputy sheriff, was asked if she
] had anything to say. She merely
-hook her head, indicating that she
had not. Judge Bernon then pro
nounced sentence.
Mrs. Kaber was carried back to her
cell in the jail.
The jury took only three ballots, it
was said, the first two being nine
I for mercy and three for first-degree
| murder without mercy. Before bal
j loting the jury discarded the insanity
plfea. Attorney Poulson Said he
I would not appeal the case, that he
; was perfectly satisified with the ver
dict.
j When informed by Mr. Poulson of
; the verdict, Mrs. Kaber merely nod-
| ded her head, he said, showing no
signs of emotion. He told her that
I unless she went to the court room
I today to receive the verdict and be
sentenced, she would have to go Mon
day, and asked her if she would go.
She again nodded her head, he said.
Marian McArdle, Mrs. Kaber’s
daughter, who was with her mother
when she was told of the verdict by
Attorney Poulson, said she was well
pleased with the verdict, according
to Mr. Poulson.
None of the remaining defendants
will be tried until the September
term of court. Prosecutor Stanton
announced later. Application that
Miss McArdle be admitted to bail was
refused today by Judge Bernon, fol
lowing the verdict in Mrs. Kaber’s
case.
EXPECTS FIRST
BALE OF COTTON
COLQUITT FARMERS SAY IT
WILL BE READY THIS
WEEK.
Brooks Women Burn to
Ground Another Still
Moultrie, July 17.—If the weather
man’s prediction of fair weather holds
good for this week Colquitt county
will gin its first bale of cotton of
the 1921 season before Saturday night
accrding to farmers who were in
Moultrie yesterday. It is said that
the staple is opening rapidly and that
the fields around Moultrie will soon
be white.
Many farmers have announced their
intention to begin picking this week if
the weather permits. The crop is the
earliest produced around Moultrie
since 1914. In that year the first
bale ginned here was brought in on
July 28. There was a substantial re
duction in the acreage given to cotton
this year in comparison to last year
It is believed, however, that Colquitt
will produce a larger number of bales
than it did in 1920. It is also certain
that the crop will be grown for much
less than half what it cost last year.
Labor has been plentiful around pre
war levels.
It has been indicated that not more
than 50 cents per hundred will be
paid for picking this season against
$1.50 to $2 last year at the beginning
of the gathering season. Colquitt
farmers did not expect cotton to bring
more than 12 or 13 cents a pound this
fall and those who planted any have
tried to grow it on that basis, argu
ing that the time was that when cot
ton sold for 10 cents everybody looked
on it as a big price.
The crop has been damaged consid
erably by the boll weevil during the
past few days as the result of rains
which have been falling nearly every
day. The new method of poisoning
the weevil, however, has been tried
out with success by many farmers
in this county. It is stated that by
putting the calcium arsenate op in a
molasses mixture it will cling to the
stalks during a hard rain.

Moultrie, July 16.—Another moon
shine still down in the northwestern
part of Brooks county has been burn
ed, piece by a party of women. The
first still burned in that section was
destroyed a few days ago and at the
time the women taking part in the in
cident issued a statement to the ef
fect that if another was set up it
would meet a similar fate.
The warning doesn’t seem to have
done any good, for it was long before
the word went out that a stump out
fit was in service near where the
former was burned. Some of the men
of the community dropped off the
water wagon again. This caused the
women t« hold another meeting and
the same “Carrie Nation” responsible
for the first still being burned sug
gested the same treatment for the
second. Her plan was enthusiastical
ly received and the women proceeded
immediately to carry it out.
The still, which was made of wood,
together with the beer barrels found
nearby was burned. Another warn
ing was issued.

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten
Dollars Earned.
The average man does not save to
exceed ten per cent of his earnings
He must spend nine dollars in living
expenses for every dollar saved. That
being the ease he can not be too care
ful about unnecessary expenses. Very
often a few cents properly invested,
like buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later on
It is the same in buying Chamber
lain’s Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy. It
costs but a few cents, and a bottle of
it in the house often saves a doctor’s
bill of several dollars.
