Cochran Wins Over
Plains Twice
The Cochran Baseball team “put
it all over” Plains in the second
and third games of the series last
week. Our team went into the
field badly crippled on the first day
and was defeated by a score of 8 to
4. We must say that the visitors
have a splendid team and all seem
to he nice, gentlemanly fellows
The Pitcher Had Plenty of Steam.
They put tip a hard fight on Thurs
day hut >mr hoys put it over them
to the tune of font to one. The
last game which was played Friday,
was simply ty farce. Our boys
scoring nine runs in the first inn
ing, knocking Moran out of the
box. It is claimed that Moran was
their crack pitcher having worked
in the Southern league with the At
lanta team, hut lie was pounded
unmercifully and the visitors took
him out of the box after the first
inning. This game resulted in a
score of II to nothing in favor of
Coehrsin and il was only a live inn
ing game, as il was stopped on ac
count of rain. The game Thursday
was the prettiest game that has
been played on the Cochran dia
mond this season and was no reflec
tion on the visitors as they played
air errorless game. Our hoys sim
ply did fine work with the stick,
and made several spectacular plays
that would have done credit to pro
fessionals and prevented the visitors
from scoring.
Battery for Plains in Thursday’s
game was Boss and Howell.
For Cochran, Snow and Suddith.
Batteiy for Friday’s game was
Moran, Carpenter and Howell for
Plains, and Lester and Suddeth for
Cochran.

Judge Godbce And
Bride Are Slain
Millen is Scene of Double Trage
dy—Edna Perkins Godbce,
Divorced Wife, Empties
Gun Into Bodies of
Couple.
Millen, Ga., Aug. IS. —Judge W.
S. God bee was instantly killed, and
his bride of a few months, mortally
wounded today on the streets of
Millen, by Judge Godbee’s divorced
wife. Mrs. Edna Perkins Godbce.
The divorced wife then returned
quietly to her home, where her ar
rest followed later.
Mrs. Godbee died this afternoon
at two o’clock without having re
gained consciousness.
Mrs. Edna Perkins Godbee, the
divorced wife of Judge Godbee,
county comissioner of Jenkins coun
ty, and one the best known men in
this section of the state, walked
down the streets of Millen tlris
morning, apparently en route to
the postotliee. From another direc
tion came Judge Godbee and his
wife, to whom lie was married after
having been divorced. The trio
met at entrance to the postotliee,
and without warning, Mrs. Godbee,
the divorcee, pulled a 32 calibre re
volver from her handling and began
shooting at the judge and his com
panion.
Almost instantly Judge Godbee
fell upon the pavement. He had
been shot three times, one shot
penetrating his arm, another enter
ing his hack and a third going
through the hack of his head and
coming out his mouth. Having
mortally wounded her former hus
band, Mrs. Godbee turned the re
volver upon 1 1 is wife and shot her
three times.
Uncle Sam May
indemnify Japs
United States May Mtke Good
Loss Due To Alien Land Acts
—1 okio May Drop
1 he Dispute.
Tokio, Japan, Aug 18. —It was
announced here today that the
Cnitcd States lias intimated readi
ness to favor in principle the pay
ment of an indemnity to Japanese
subjects who have been affected by
the California alien land ownership
legislation. The States has recog
nized the right of Japan to adopt a
measure similar to the California
hill. *
From information given in offi
cial circles it appears unlikely that
Japan will adopt either idea. What
Japan desires is permanent friendly
relations with the United States,
and, therefore, she seeks a funda
mental solution of the difficulty.
If the United States has no solution
to offer, it is stated, Japan will
probably allow the matter to re
main as a grievance.
The public feeling of humiliation
in this connection continues to he
fanned by inflammatory comments
in the newspapers. The Jlochi
Shimbun, which is often sensation
al, urges as an object lesson to the
United States, the expulsion of
American missionaries to Korea on
the ground that they are undesira
ble aliens,
