Dorris THE CORDELE DISPATCH VETFERAN CHIEF EXECUTIVE SPOKE IN CORDELE TO CROWD ED HOUSE AND WAS CORDIALLY RECEIVED. ! Governor Harris went far towards - winning the voters of Crisp county in } his address Friday night at the Crosp his address Friday night at the Crisp was fairly well filled and large num bers of people heard him. His address dealt largely with his experience in office, especially with his connection with wprohibition legisiation and he grew eloquent at times. It was a splendid opportunity to tell experience as a soldier in the war and he did well with this. He had made seven other addresses during the day and this was his eighth. He seemed tired but happy when he found himself so heartily and cordially re ceived. Numbers of friends grasped his hand after the address and gave him assurance of support. Among them were those who heretofore have ex pressed preference for Dr. Hardman. Many a former Hardman supported yesterday openly expressed himself as | satisfied with Harris for the other two vears and this will mean that Hard man and Harris supporters are join ing) hands in this county in order to make it safe for Harris. Miss Tallulah Atkins, president of the local Daughters of the Confedera cy, made the introductory address for Governor Harris and'declared that she came not to put woman forward in politics but as the daughter of a brave Confederate to urge a gallant soldier of the sixties for the office of Govern or. She more than pleased her hear ers and made it easy going for the goVernor. COTTON COMING DROP IN PRICE HOLDS UP MAR KETING. BUT FARMERS STILL I.OOK FOR HIGH PRICES. Farmers of Crisp county are still of good cheer, notwithstanding the drop in the price of cotton. The staple is still ‘bringing fourteen cents and bet ter, and none of it is being held off the market, though the opinion is gen eral that the price will again begin climbing soon. : The crop is still opening rapidly and is being gathered unusually fast, the demand for pickers remaining stren uous. The receipts in the local ware- Lhouse and compress are exceptionally heavy as compared with several years past. COLQU!TT ESCAPE IS CAUGHT. Moultrie, Sept. B.—Charles Alexan der, life prisoner, who escaped from the Colquitt county chaingang over 2 years ago, was identified and arrested at Babcock yesterday. The local au thorities sent an officer for him to day. Alexander, who was convicted of murder in the Superior court of Sum ter county about fifteen years ago as the result of killing a prominent Amer icus man, has escaped twice during the fifteen years he has been on the chamngang. After staying gone about six months following his first get away he voluntarily returned and resumed Ins place on the shovel brigade, but he evidently had no such intentions this time. NEXT THING TO OCCUPY MINDS OF PEOPLE OF CITY—CANDI DATES SOON TO ANNOUNCE. The local political pot is beginning to simmer. Prospects are for lively compaigning for the three aldermanic nositions and the office of mayor. The offices held by Mayor Gordon Jones and Aldermen- J. N. King, C. L. Mcs Millan and C. L. Lifsey are to be filled. The date of the primary has not been fixed, though it is usually held about the middle of November. While none of the present incumbents or prospective candidates have definitely announced, it is generally understood among his friends that Mayor Jones will be a candidate for re-election. Tt is also practically certain that Alder man King will be a candidate to suc ceed himself. When asked if they cared to make a statement as to whether or not they would be candi dates for re-election both Alderman McMillan and Lifsey declined to com mit themselves.

JURY FINDS BOY'S m ~ DEATH ALARWING : (s 2 i CORONER INVESTIGATED DEATH OF LITTLE BENJAMIN HAYES AND DISCOVERED PITIABLE SIT UATION. ' —— ' Benjamin Hayes, 11-year-old son of ‘ Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Hayes, died Thurs day morning about 5:45 o'clock, after ‘a protracted illness from fever. It was at first thought by members of the family that they would carry the remains to Atlanta for interment, where another child is buried. How -3(-\'(’l', it developed that the parents of the chid were believers in Chris tian Science, and that the child had died without medical treatment, ac cording to the findings of a coroner’s jury, faith having been imposed in practioners of the Christian Science beliet at Jacksonville, Fla., and itz gerald for the recovery of the child. It being impossible therefore to secure a medical certificate, required for the transportation of the remains, the pa rents requested that a coroner's in quest be held. Coroner W. C. Cul pepper summoned a jury and after careful consideration of the case, a verdict that the child came to its death after continuous sickness from malarial fever and without the aid of medical treatment, was rendered. Mrs. Donaldson, a sister of the dead child’s mother, testified before the cor oner's jury that when she received z message at her home at Jacksonville Fla., stating the serious illness of the child, she went to Dr. J. . Williams, a practioner of the Christian Science belief, for comfort and advice. The practioner told her, according to tes timony, not to be worried, that he felt certain that the ¢hild would be alright. It developed further, according to the evidence that advice had been received from a practioner of the Christian Science belief at Fitzgerald, but that the day before the child’s death a lo cal medical physician was summoned, though on account of probainy una voidable circumstances, was prevent ed from seeing the child. It was decided to bury the child here, and the funeral services were held at Sunnyside cemetery Friday, Rev. Walter Anthony, pastor of the Methodist church, officiating. Citizens servving on the “toroner's fury were as follows: W. H. Culpep per, foreman; C. O. Nobhle, H. E. God dard, E. T. Rochels, W. €. Hinton, and 0. R. Raines. Rvidence adduced at the coroner’s inquest was to the effect that a physi cian had rendered surgical service at the residence of Mrs. Hayes durign the little boy's illness, pbut, since only surgical attention is allowed, no treat ment was given the litte boy. W. M. S. MEETING. There will be a literary and devo tional meeting of the Woman’s Mis sionary Society Monday afternoon at four o’ciock at the Methodist church. All members invited ta be present. MYSTERY SURROUNDS DEATH OF GEORGE P. BROWN Aflanta, Sept. s.—Who killed George Plumer Brown, the young Atlanta business man whose body was found in the Chattahoochee river a few days days ago? i Did he kill himself or was he mur dered? After being convinced at the outset of the case that Brown committed suicide, the Atlanta and Fulton coun ty police have changed their minds and come to the theory that he was probably murdered, and his body so disposed as to make the killing look like suicide. ' Officials of the trust company of which Brown was assisted treasurer absolutely refuse to believe that he was in good health, had plenty of mon ey, had no love affairs and was a man of temperate habits. They are aiding the poiice in the investigation of the case, and indica tions point to the devolopment of an other murder mystery Tresembling that of John Wurm, the young steel c¢ompany employee who was murdered and thrown into the river with hands tied with copper wire.

Moultrie, Sept. B.—Positive opposi ion on the part of many and apparent ndifference by a large number of oth s toward the tick eradication cam naign has resulted in the commis sjoners practically withdrawing ihe ounty's support of the movement. At 1 meeting held yesterday the commis sioners “fired” all of the inspectors he county has had engaged in the work, with the exception of one, he ceing retained merely for the purpose f charging the vats for the service of hose cattle owners who wish to vol intarily dip their cattle. At the same time the state and federal authorities withdrew the men they have had sta tioned here. Work toward the eradication of the Texas fever tick from this county was started over two years ago. Warly his year the movement had pmgr(\ss od to such an extent that it was an nounced that the county would be en irely free of the parasite within a few months and the word was passed out {hat every cattle owner would have to lip his animals. Then trouble started. Jeveral vats were blow up. Mass meet ings were held here and at other yoints of the county and many of the s;peakers declared they ‘“‘would die” hefore they would submit to the com sulsory feature of the campaign. Lives of the men in charge of the work were threatened and the situation got so tense ihat the authorities decided to let up and see if the “anti-dippers” wouldn't in time see that they had Heen opposing a movement that if car ried out would be worth thousands of dollars to the county, but now be ‘jeving the educational work is too Jlow and too expensive they have de sided to stop the work, temporarily at least. JUDGE GEORGE'S FRIENDS CONFIDENT HE IS A WIN NER—GREAT WORK HAS BEEN DONE IN HIS RACE. Ty Friends of Judge Walter George nere and throughout the state have strong assurance that he is going to he one of the winners in the contest of Tuesday. His work has been con sistently: pushed and it has resulted in thorough publicity. Every word of comment in the state press has carried the highest commendation and it is going to mean that Judge George will be a winner. A great deal of local work has been done by friends. Letters have gone to all portions of the state making per sonal 11[i[)}-les; and this has had its ef fect. Judge Georze is the only active su perior court judge in the race and this will give him pulling grounds of tho strongest sort. He is the only can didate asking for the office actually in‘,ilm harness. This is strong argu ment subsatntiating his claims to qual ification for serving on the Court of Appeals. His friends here are deeply interested in his candidacy and will watch the resuits Tuesday with great concern. COVERED BY COTTON CHILD SUFFOCATES Moultrie, Sept. B.—The G-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Cannon, of this county, smothered to death in a pile of cotton yesterday afternoon.

She found the baby sound asleep at the foot of the pile of colton and sne was horror stricken when she looked up and saw ihe feel of her little boy protruding from the hole he had dug.
