BRUTAL CRIME COMMITTED BY NEGRO; BURNED ALIVE WEDNESDAY NIGHT Crime Committed Near Athens.—More Than Three Thousand People Said to Be at Scene of , • Burning. .A negro by the name of John Lee Eb erhart foully murdered Mrs. Walter E. Lee Wednesday morning in Oconee county by shooting her in the back and head with both loads of a double bar rel shot gun. Tlie negro concealed him self in the barn and when Mrs. Lee came out to milk the cows he attacked her and when she ran he shot her in the back as stated above. Two Oconee negroes were passing and heard the gun tire and saw the woman fall. They ran to the scene but Eberhart had fled. Immediately a posse was formed and the negro fi nally captured in the afternoon in Ath ens. He was placed in the Clarke comity jail. Early Wednesday night a crowd estimated at 3000 men gather ered around the jail, took Eberhart out, carried him to the scene of the crime and burned him. The gun with which the negro did the shooting had been stolen from Mr. Lee, husband of Ihe victim. IN THE GEORGIA BAPTIST HOSPITAL The average man doesn't calculate on going toa hospital. He feels that others are liable to go but that he is an exception to the general rule that will get sick. For nine days I was an inmate and one learns from experience—without doubt the hospital is one of the great est assets of Georgia Baptists. It is one of the best equipped institutions in the state, or in the South, and Dr. J. M. Long is one of the sanest and most aggressive leaders in the work of caring for the sick that can be found in the South. Bro. J. F Eden, who was a resident of Winder and whose son, J. F. Jr., was pastor here for quite awhile, is &ie popular chaplain, and his bright, cheerful, helpful visits to the bedrid den patients daily are a great blessing. One of the finest X-Ray machines in the country is operated by Dr. Clark, one of'the most pleasgnt and genial men it has been my pleasure to meet. The religious atmosphere of the in stitution is simply splendid. There is not a finer corps of nurses anywhere, always ready to help the suffering. Miss Pearl Miller was my special nurse a Canadian by birth and a Georgian by adoption, she spent quite awhile overseas with the Emory Unit, and is one of the finest and most experienced nurses in the state. I was surely for tunate in falling into the hands of thLs fine woman, and shall never forget her tender ministry. People are coming and going inces santly, day and night, and people of all states and creeds are treated alike. Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Christians, Episcopalians, Congrega tionalists, Seventh Day Adventists, Catholics, Unitarians, Universalists, Lutherans, Christian Science, Church of Christ, Church of God, Xazarenes, Holiness and Mormons from Georgia, Florida, Alabama, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Tex as. Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New York, Kansas, Michigan, Illinois, Vir ginia, Washington, D. C„ Kentucky, Louisiana, pay patients and free pa tients are alike helped back to health. * A handsome new home for the nurs es has just been completed out in the heart of the burned district, and the girls were moving into it as I left, y A pretentious program is now on to complete speedily one of the finest plants in the United States and Geor gia Baptists are solidly behind it and will speedily put it over. Before going I had suffered a lot with a stone in my left kidney and deeply appreciateed relief. Dr. Ed Jones and Dr. Montague Boyd were as kind and helpful to me as were Drs. Almond and the Winder physici ’ ans. I shall never forget the flowers the letters and the visits from hun dreds of friends. Surely no man ever had more and received more royal treatment from them than did the writ er during his illness. The Atlanta preachers are a royal bunch and how their visits did cheer and help! \ 1 feel it in my heart to thank every /one for their kindness: it would be impossible to do it personally. W. H.

NOTICE CITIZENS OF WINDER There are too many dogs running at large without muzzles in our city. Or dinance No. 114 of the City of Win der prohibits a dog running at large unless it has a muzzier fastened on it head sufficient to keep it from biting any person or object. So you see at once the law does not mean a halter, but a muzzle. This is a good law and has been pre served by the city fathers since the year 1915, and I hope if you own a dog or expect to own one that you will c*ill at the clerk’s office and read Or dinance No.. 114, and observe same not later than March Ist. Also make your self acquainted with Ordinance No. 126 in regard to Hog Pens, as there is a change in this law since last year. You cannot locate a pen less than one hundred feet of a dwelling or well from which water is used, and said pen must contain not less than 175 square yards per hog or pig. I trust that this law will be resjjbcted not later than March Ist, as ft is highly important that we take every care and precaution in protecting the health of our people. Respt. E. O.
