That Child’s Skull Had Been
Crushed. She Had Been Hiding
In Swamp, But Finally Surren
dered.
Dublin, March 2. —Pearl Darsey
a white woman, about 24 years old
has been arrested and lodged in jail
here, charged with murder. It is
alleged that she killed an infant and
hid its body which was dug up by a
dog Thursday afternoon last, near
the residence of Mr. Cott Davis in
the lower edge of the county.
The coroner’s jury that investiga
ted the matter rendered a verdict,
holding her responsible for its birth
and also for its death.
While the investigation was in
progress Friday, she ran away from
her home near the scene and went
into the swamp where she was hun
ted by the officers. Saturday, word
was brought to the officers that she
was arrested late Saturday night,
and brought to Dublin. She denies

Com Club Results
Macon, Ga., March stli. —Ex-
cellent results from the “Boys’
Corn Club” contests inaugurated by
the Georgia Southern and Florida
Railway in each of the counties < f
Georgia and Florida touched by its
lines are shown in the following
award 'of prizes with the yield in
each acre as just announced by
Vice President and General Mana
ger J. B. Hudson:
Turner, Mark Kinney, Ashbur',
Ga., Sl) ;t bushels; Tift, Erie
Smith, Tifton, Ga., 93% bushels-'
Berrien, Ivey Graddy, Cecil, Ga.,
70% bushels; Lowndes, Huron
Webb, llahira, Ga.. 107: Hamil
tnn, Wiliner Shivers, Jennings,
Fla., 83% bushels; Charlton, Bar
ney Ruis, St. Georgia, Ga., 50%
bushels; Houston, Clarence Hester,
Perry, Ga., 72 5-6 bushels; Colurn
bia, Hugh Summers, Lake City,
Fla., 63% bushels; Bradford, Joe
McKenney, Now River, Fla , 58 4 5
bushels; Bibb, Norman Etheridge,
Macon, Ga., 163; Crisp, Sam
Story, Jr., Warwick, Ga., 74 2-5
bushels; Dooly, Earnst Trulock,
Vienna, Ga., 63% bushels.
When it is recalled that the aver
age yield of corn in these state as
shown by official figures is less than
20 bushels per acre, the value of
the work undertaken by the Geor
gia Southern and Florida Railway
for stimulating the adoption of
proper cultural methods, resulting
in yields, three, four, and in one
case eight fold greater than the
average, is at once apparent. In
the spring of 1912 the Georgia
Southern and Flordia Railway of
fered prizes of S2O in each county
touched by it for the highest yield
by any Corn Club Boy.
