Gallows Confesses to Crime
Committed Near Valdosta-
A negro named Elton Gray was
hanged at Vienna, Ga., last Tues
day and the day before the execu
tion he wrote out a confession of a
number of ermtes which he had
committed, one of them being near
Valdosta and one near Argyle (or
Ilog-eye, as the negroes call it.)
The negro was executed for killing
his wife. The following is the part
of his cofession that relates to
crimes around here :
“To all whom it may concern :
“This is to certify that I, Elton
Gray, did, on May 26, 1901, shoot
and kill one Charlie Bragg. I
buried him in an old well, near
Tallahassee, Fla. The cause was
a dispute over a skin game.
“In September 1901, I got into
a scrap about a woman and killed
a white man. I didn’t do this on
purpose, but mistook him for a
bright skin negro. 1 threw him
into a creek, near Valdosta, after
weighting him down with a piece
of iron wheel near where a 'saw
mill was situated.
“1 had one scrap near Ilog-eye.
My ‘paid’ and myself robbed a man
and turned him loose. But later,
it occurred to us that ‘dead men tel!
no tales.’ We followed him near
to his home and my ‘pard’ shot
him in the head. We then put
him into a hollow cypress stump
and placed brush over it. It was
not my desire to tell toy ‘pard’s’
name, but I will make a cl-an con
fession before my God. I do not
know the names of the two last
mentioned victims, but my‘pard’s’
name was Young Owens, alias Jim
Bennett, alias a half dozen other
names.”—Valdosta Times.
Violent Attack of Diarrhoea Cured by Chamber
lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy and Perhaps a Life Saved.
‘A short time ago I was taken with
j a violent attack of diarrhoea and be
j lieve I would have died if I had not
gotten relief,” says John J. Patton, a
leading citizen of Patton, Ala. “A
friend recomended Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
I borglit a twenty-fine cent bottle and
after taking three doses of it was en
tirely cured. I consider it the best
remedy in the world for bowel com
plaints. For sale by Union Pharmacy.

MRS. GRUNDY SAYS.
That if a woman wants
to keep her husband court
\ ing her a f ter marriage as
me did before, she must pay
the same attention to her
conduct and dress as she
did then.
That it will bear repeating, that
when a boy or girl refers to their
mother or father as the “old man”
and the “old lady,” people with
good manners know at once that
all pretended reverence is a fake,
as far as that child is concerned.
That Grundy pretended that he
was going to church at New Hope
last Sunday, but when the train
stopped at the right place he forgot
to get off, and went on to Fitz
gerald He came back sad-eyed,
however, for the bar-room had been
burned. Old sucker!
That when you notice a con pie,
in the road, walking and swinging
on to each other’s hands you may
know something is “heavy on their
minds.” In the house the) both
try to sit on the same chair, the
girl chews a hole in her handker
chief and the boy tires himself;
down from continually crossing
his legs and patting his foot. Poor j
things.
That a snappish answer to your ;
mother or father does not show
that you have good sense, or self
respect. Pin that in your hat.
That a young man who enter
tains his best girl by telling false- I
hoods on his rivals does not often
make a good husband. Stick a pin
here.
That the editor of the Breeze was
up about Ambrose or some where*
else last Sunday as she knows he
was out ot town, came back and
reported a “fine time.” Anything
is fine with him if he gets enough
to eat, but it is not a fine time with
those toot the expense bill. So,
there!
Lhe Republican mass meeting
to have been held last Monday was
sparsely attended. We have noth
ing to publish concerning it.
