News reached Tifton early Wed-:
neSd-iy morning of the killing at Syl-,
vester, in Worth county, about 0
o’clock Tuesday evening, of Hon.
W. J. Ford, by his cousin, Dr. Ash
ton T. Ford.
A 1'TON NOTES.
(June grinding is about to begin.
Dr. Ford was intoxicated, and was
in his office, teasing the little seven
year-old son of Mr. Ford. The lit
tle fellow was crying, and his father
attempted to take him away from the
Doctor, when the latter.drew a pis
tol and fired twice, one ball passing
through Mr. Ford’s right hand, the
other taking effect in the left temple,
killing him instantly.
The slayer escaped, and up to this
morning has riot been heard of.
Rumors are plentiful, Jtut the
above seems to he about the facts in
the case.
It appears that no one else was
present when the shooting occurred
except the little boy. The Doctor’s
friends claim that a heavy stick was
found in the office, which Mr. Ford
was seen to carry in there.
The Albany correspondent of the
Savannah News says that it is sup
posed the difficulty originated from
Mr. Ford '•ailing in Dr. Davis, of Al
bany, to treat his little sick girl, not
being satisfied with the progress she
was making under Dr. Ford’s care,
and that Dr. Ford, on the train from
Albany a few hours before the diffi
culty, made threats against his cous
in’s life.
Dr. Ford was a son of one of the
first families of the county, and up to
u year or so ago was a rising young
physician, standing at the head of his
profession, and giving promise of a
The Dawson News says that a
movement has been inaugurated at
the state eapitol that is liable to cre
ate a big sensation throughout south
Georgia. According to this report, the
titles to about sixty thousand acres of
land are involved.
In 1818 the land of Georgia was ac
quired from the Indians and laid off
into counties and eacli county into
lots. These lots were divided among
the people, except the tenth and one-
hundreth lot in each county, which
was reserved to be sold for the benefit
of the pioor children of the state.
Recently Commissioner Glenn, in
looking over some old papers, come,
upon this act and began' to make in
quiries about it. lie learned that the
sheriffs of different counties had been
authorized to sell the land and re
port to the governor all sales that
were made. There are very few sales
reported and the records fail to show
whether or not tile sheriffs sold the
land. If they did not, those who are
holding it are doing it illegally and
will be asked to get out. The mat
ter has been put into the hands of
Secretary Candler and lie has already
begun tlie work of learning whether
or not the people upon the lands
have any legal right to lx- there. If
they have not, legal steps will be ta
ken to dispossess them.
The land was originally in Ap
pling, Irwin, .Gwinnett, Hall, Ifaber-
sam, Early and Walton counties, but
those counties have been subdivided
and other counties made from them
so that the land is now in Raker,
Rcrricti, Brooks, Calhoun, Clay,
Clinch, Colquitt, Decatur, Dougherty,
