Contender for Championship
of the Association.
Last Friday morning the Bear Cats
,f Bainbridge High, headed by Capt.

id, to the eminent ' satisfaction and
..at delight of the several hundred
oval citizens, who 'went with the
tarn. The score was 6 to 0—not
luch margin, of victory, but a vic-
ory just the same, and one which
nought great joy to every local fan.
There seemed to be as many people
n the Bainbridge side of the grounds
^ on the Albany side, and they cer-
inly lmd the “pep!“ The game was
atured by the concerted cheering
singing of the Bainbridge root-
and no doubt this display of loyal
ipport had its effect on the players.
,e Albany Herald pays high trib-
to the loyalty of the Bainbridge
iple to their team, and it is well-
rited praise.
The game, as indicated by the
re, was very close and hard fough.

STILL CAPTURED
IN BAKER COUNTY
Big Moonshine Outfit Found on
Island by* Federal Qfflcers,
Who Waded Half Mile to the
Scene of Operations.
NEWTON, Ga., Nov. 21.—Federal
agents have captured in Baker county
one of the largest stills located in
South Georgia in months. It. was a
copper still of 300 gallons capacity,
and with it the raiders found 2,000
gallons of mash and 24 gallons of
whiskey. The still was located on an
island in the middle of a pond, and
the officers reached it, wading waist
deep v a distance of half a mile. The
still was in operation, but the oper
ators escaped before the raiders
could reach the scene.
Location Known for Some Time
J. J. Gordy, C. E. Hibbard and Gar
nett Saye participated in the raid.
They said they had had knowledge
of the still for some time, but that
they had to wait for a dry spell to
reach it or build boats to cross the
intervening area of water, which am
ounted to two miles in wet weather.
The still was perfectly appointed,
according to the raiders, being set
on a brick furnace and cooled by wa
ter from a deep well that had been
drilled into the island. It was so
large that it could not be carried
awad on a bateau, and had to bi cut
to pieces on the island. Raiders de
clared it had been a source of sup
ply to consumers at Bainbridge and
Camilla.

DISCUSS COMING
GAME ATMOULTRIE
Enthusiastic “Pep” Meeting Is
Held Wednesday morning and
a Number of Interesting
Speeches Were Made.
An enthusiastic pep meeting on
athletics was held in the chapel of
the High School Wednesday morning.
The purpose of the meeting was two-
fol^. First, to present the players
of the team with gold pieces for their
fine work in defeating Albany High
last week, and secohd, to generate
“pep“ for the coming Moultrie game
on Thanksgiving Day. It was an em
inent success from both standpoints.
The meeting was very ably and
taotfully presided over by Prof. E. G.
Elcan, and the speakers were Mr.
Frank Jones, Mr. E. F. Vickers, and
Mr. Melvin Nussbaum. Mr. Jones,
speaking first, gave the boys a very
timely and practical talk on the value
of athletics and its relative import
ance in school work. He emphasized
the fast that athletics must not be
the sole aim of the boy in school.
Mr. Vickers presented each boy
who played in the Albany game, in
cluding Julian Graham, a five dollar
gold piece, and another present of $1
each, contributed by H. E. Perkins.
Mr. Vickers developed a vein of hu
mor in his speech, and mode a hit
with his audience when he informed
the boys that the present gift was
really only a loan, and would have to
be retimed unless they also defeated
Moultrie.
Mr.-Melvin Nussbaum was the last
speaker, and as always, he delighted
his hearers with his cheerful and
wholesome speech. No speaker ever
comes to th elligh School who is
more popular with the students and
faculty than is Mr. Nussbaum.
Metz Holder, captain of the team,
.spoke for the boys, and thanked the
people of the town for their loyal
support of the team.
It is likely that another pep meet
ing will be held next Wednesday, at
which time it is hoped a great crowd
will be present, and everybody tunea
up for a victory in Moultrie Thanks
giving Day.
' CARD OF THANKS

recent bereavement. Also for the
beautiful floral offerings. In a time
like this we find our friends are not

eian of Thomasville, T. J. Dyson, of
this couijty, Mrs. Nell Adams, reg
istering from Waycross, and a color
ed trained nurse of this city, are
being held under arrpst charged with
being connected with the death of a
newly-born infant found a few days
ago in a branch at the Country Club.
The warrant for the arrests was
sworn out by Night Policeman Hugh
es from evidence which he claims to
have collected in the matter.
Dr. Palmer states that he is en
tirely innocent of the charge against
him. He says he was called to see
the woman, who was stopping at a
hotel here, on November 9. Finding
her condition serious, he says he did
everything to relieve her that was
medically correct and that there can
be no justifiable charge of illegality
in the matter.
The parties arrested have asked for
an immediate hearing in the case, but
owing to the absence Of Solicitor
Hay atending court in Valdosta, it
cannot be held until he can return.
Mrs. Adams, while registering from
Waycross, is said to be a resident of
Thomas eour.ty. It is not made plain
what connection Mr. Dyson has with
the case. The child, it is said, was
born on November 16, and had been
dead only a short time when found

POWELL HELD ON-
CHARGE MURDER
OF CARO CITIZEN
Fatal Difficulty Occurred Sat
urday Night Just Over the
Florida Line
PROMINENT MEN
ARE INVOLVED
James W. Legette, Well-known
Young Man of Cairo, Shot and
Killed in Leon County as Re
sult of Quarrel Over Dog.
CAIRO, Ga., Nov. 20.—A coroner's
jury in Leon county, Fla., this after
noon ordered held' J. L. Powell, of
Havana, Fla., on a charge of first de
gree murder, and ordered Geddie
and Tom Elkins, and Silencer Bar
ber, all of this county, held as mater
ial witnesses under bond of $500 each
in connection witl the death yester
day of James W. Legette, of this
city, following q shooting which
tool^ place sljDrfly after midnight
Saturday nt a canip on Lake Iamonia
just acrjpss^the Grady county line in
Leon county, Florida.
Legette‘8 death occurred in a Tal
lahassee hospital shortly after noon
yesterday. His body was brought
here late last night, and carried this
afternoon to Naylor for funeral and
interment.
It is reported that Powell has ad
mitted doing the shooting but that
he declares it was accidental. He did
not appear before the coroner's jury
and has not given out a statement.
It appears that Legette, another
Cairo boy, and one of the Elkins
boys, who resides a few miles south
of Cairo, had .gone to the camp where
the other Elkins boy had some coon
dogs, ns they were planning to go
hunting.
It is said that a general misunder
standing resulted from their attempt
to gqt the dogs and that after a scuf
fle between the two parties Powell
walked from the tent and emptied
two loads of shot in Legette's stom
ach.
Powell Goes for Doctor.
Powell left immefUately afterward
for a physician whb lived several
miles away, however, and anothef
member of the party went to Talla
hassee and reported the matter to
the Sheriff's office. Legette remained
conscious for suverpl hours, but was
too weak to render medical assistance
effective. Jt is said that he was mak
ing an attempt to clear up the misun
derstanding when he was shot. Bar
ber, who is Powell's son-in-law, is a
resident of Cairo, and he and Legette
were good friends. Powell, however,
was not well acquainted with Legette
The camping party was preparing to
hunt ducks this morning early and
they were to be joifltd by others from
Cairo.
Early reports were that all of them
were drunk, but a physician found
little evidence of thin when he exam
ined Legette, and a deputy sheriff is
said to hove testified to the coron
er's jury that “Powell was not very
drunk.'
The affair has stirred Cairo very
much because the deceased was *so
popular here, and because all of those
involved are widely known in this*
section. Powell, himself, is a former
resident of Cairo.
The deceased was only 23 years of
age, and is survived by his mother
and a brother here, a brother in Al
bany, and a sister in Sanford, Fla.
His brother here is manager of the
Ford sales agency.
It is understood that the trial will
be taken up in Tallahassee immedia
tely after court is opened next Mon
day morning.
Mr.JJff Hilton Goes
MTjth S. A. L. Railway
Mr. J. B. Hilton, who for some time
was connected with the G., F. & A.
railroad, has accepted a splendid po
sition with the Seaboard Air Line
with headquarters ]n Tampa, Fla.
Mrs. Hilton will not join Mr. Hil
ton in their new home until the first
of the year.
While the many friends of this
fine couple will regret to see them
leave Bainbridge, they are delighted
for Mr. Hilton to have work of so
agreeeable a nature. Mr. Hilton is a
railroad man of wide experience and
his friends predict a big future for
him in his new field.

charge of the program.
The Juniora began with an acros-
tic, apelling the word “Junior." On
each morning one of the girls took one
of theae letters and talked about it,
as they represent the thing the Jun
iors are trying to be this year. All
of the girls made interesting talks;
Mary Alice Aulday, Elizabeth Shore,
Eunice Graham, Caroline Woodberry,
Eatclle Torbert and Mary Kelly.
In the Sophomore class Nancy Mad

FARMER IS SHOT
BY OELAT1VE
Killing Follows Argument Over
the Location of an Old Saw
mill by Bro$hera-in-law Near

DALTON, Ga., Nov. 18.—Bird Con
ley, a young farmer living near Reck
Fuce, this county, was shot and prob
ably fatally wounded Saturday night
by hiH brother-in-law, Charley Coch
ran, after a needless dispute as to
where a sawmill had jbeen located.
Sunday afternqon Conley was
brouipit to a local hospital; but the
attending surgeons gave his family
no hope for his recovery.
According to information reaching
here the two were out possum hunt
ing and got into a fight after a long
argument as to what hollow in the
mountains had a sawdust pile in it.
Conley is said to have hit Cochran,
who immediately afterward went to
the home of a neighbor and borrowed
a shot gun. After loading the gun,
it is said he told the neighbor that
he was going to shoot Conley, and
he wouldn't be stopped.
He walked to within a few feet of
Conley, it is alleged, and fired a load
of No. 6 shot into his left side.
Sunday morning Cochran left hie
home and it was not until Sunday
afternoon that relatives of Conley
came to Dalton and had a warrant
sworn out for Cochran's arrest.
An examination of Conley's injur
ies showed that he had jqst a large
quantity of blood, and the nature of
the wound was such that attending
surgeons told his relatives he had
no chance to recover.
Both of the men were about 26
years of age. Cochran has a wife
and two children, and Conlsy is
widower with two children.
Up to the present Cochran has
not been apprehended.
