MRS. PETE BRADLEY IS BADLY
INJURED WHEN WAGON IN DE
MOLISHED NEAR RAINES.
Four young men, W. H. Tuggle, J.
1. Odom, Dewey Veal and James Hall,
were locked up by Sheriff John Ward
last night as a result of their having
smashed a farm wagon on the highway
near Raines, severely injuring Mrs.
Pete Bradley, G. V. Williams and wife
aml a fourth person whose name could
not bhe learned. Mrs. Bradley's leg
was broken in two places and she was
internally injured. The others are not
seriously hurt.
The automobile was said to have
been driven at a high rate of speed.
When it struck, the wagon was knock
ed out of the road and the occupants
thrown in every direction. When the
car stopped it was backed over Mrs.
Bradley as the auto party returned to
the wreckage of the farm wagon, and
this, it was said, was what caused the
serious fractures of the leg.
The young men are accused of hav
ing gone to a nearby liquor source
where they “tanked” up and were re
turning, under the influence of drink
when the accident occurred. They
collided with -another farm wagon la
ter belonging to J. L. Wheeler, but
tihe negro driver was unhurt. This
wrecked the car and it was at this
point that the sheriff came and took
them in charge.
Mrs. Bradley was picked up and
carried on to her home and there Dr.
1.. Williams rendered medical assis
tance. She sustained a severe frac
ture. The other injured persons were
able to stir yesterday and are not
thought to be seriously hurt.
The occupants were knocked from
the wagon when the speeding auto ran
by the mules. They shied and escaped,
but the car struck the wagon a side
swipe and cleared it from the road.
The injured persons lay on the ground,
they claim, and yelled at the boys.in
the car not to back up when it it seen
that they were bearing directly upon
Mrs. Bradley. She was said Ao have
heen run over by the car as it was
backed up to the wreckage of the wag
on and that her worst fracture was due
to this. The wagon in which the par
ty was riding belonged te G. V. Wil
liams. Mr. and Mrs. Williams and
Mrs. Bradley and another man. one
armed, had been to.Cordele and were
returning home early in the evening.
but it was after dark.
. Tuggle and Veal are residents of
Arabi. Odom is a resident of Vienna.
Assault and battery is a charge as se
rious as can be made for such alleged
mischief as is laid at the door of the
four young men.

BIG ELECTRIC MOTOR NOW
DRIVES BATTERY OF NEW GINS
—A SPLENDID ESTABLISHMENT.
In the southern portion of Cordele
‘s a new enterprise that is quietly but
surely doing the work as no other of
‘ts kind can do it. There is no early
steam whistle to herald the hour for
veginning work. There is no great,
hrobbing steam engine or long black
column of smoke to make it look like
1 big factory of steel furnace, but it
is there all the same, at work, per
forming its commercial task a little
better, a little more rapidly.
This is the Diffee ginnery. The early
season start was made with a crude
il engine that didw’t work. Things
hegan to look. worse, the longer the
offort was made to do the work with
‘he original power plant and Mr. Diffee
decided to sever relations with the
=aid crude oil engine.
Now the ginnery is driven by a 75-
iorse power motor of the latest type
which cost approximately $1 500 and
the Cordele Electric Company,—uot
sur municipal plant of August 3rd,—
‘s furnishing the current. The mod
ara electric power unit brings the Dif
‘ee ginnery right up to the highest
noint of perfection. ({ gets a bale of
se¢ed cotton out of the farmer’s wagon
and turns back the secd in one place
apd the bale at anotier nlace in less
han fiftecn minutes.
The new battery of gins knocks out
lie burrs sacked by the vickers. cleans
‘nreign matter from the stapie and
‘urns out cotton that will yield sample
~rading higher than the ordinary gin
qery. Efficiency is the word from the
“ig motor to the other end of the new
nlant.
The use of electric power in this
vinnery is the peéerfecting climax. The
~urrent is furnished at a rate which
sleases hoth the user a)# the producer
and those who have seen the nw plant
't work have but their first taste of
he advantages of electric power turn
‘ng the wheels of commerce in the
small city.

'NUMBER OF MEMBERS OF BAR OF
| CORDELE CIRCUIT WANT JUDGE
i GEORGE’S PLACE.
| The members of the bar of Fitzger
iald are getting after the judgship.
' Plans are being laid to support A. J.
' McDonald, one of the strongest mem
ihers of the bar of the city. Elridge
:(‘ntts is also mentioned for the place.
Members of the bar of Cordele are
jinying plans to go after the place and
~wherher it bhe by appointment, or by
electien, there will be three members
of the local -bar who will probably ask
for the place as successor to Judge
George. These are D. A. R. Crum,
I£. I, Strozier and M. M. Eakes.
If Judge George resigns thrity days
‘before the November election, those
woerking for the place will have to get
!zm the hustings and ask ihe people
about it, If the resignation comes too
Jate, then it will be a matter for Gov
ernor Harris. Lt
\ The Fitzgerald Leader-Enterprise
\has this to say in an editorial:
. In view of the elevation of Judge
- Walter George to the court of appeals,
!a vacaney will be made in the Cordele
| circuit of which Ben Hill is a part. We
believe Fitzgerald should receive the
ijudgshil) now, as Cordele has had
Judge Whipple, and Vienna Judge
George. We understand that there
are already several aspirants to ‘the
position' in ‘the 'field, -asking' for en
dorsement, as the vacancy will in all
likelihood be filled by Governor Har
ris within a short time.
. The Leader-Enterprise would like to
“see the position filled by a man whose
;experience in law is well known, his
integrity unimpeachable and his char
acter above reproach, and we think
!Fitzgera]d has just such a man in the
person of A. J. McDonald. From a
financial standpoint we recognize it
wonld be a sacrifice on the part of Mr.
McDonald to accept a place on the Su
perior Court bench, as the salary at
tached is only 2:000 a year, out of
which he has to pay all of his personal
expenses, railroad fare and hotel Yills
when on the circuit. Superior Court
judges are also prohibited from prac
tieing law in any of the courts, so
‘hat this paltry $3.000 constitutes the
antire income for the judge for a year.
But life is made up of sacrifices and
we would like to see Mr. McDenald
\ecept this position in the interest of
rood government and law enforcement.
NEGRO IS LYNCHED

LITTLE EXCITEMENT CAUSED BY
' AFFFAIR WHICH WAS UNKNOWRM
TO MAJORITY OF RESIDENTS.
Bainbridge, Sept. 29.—Moxie Shuier,
‘a2 negro about 20 years old, was lynch
ed near here at an early hour this
‘merning. The affair was one of the
auietest ever known and few people
had heard anything about it, until the
coroner’'s jury met out for an inves
tigation just before noon.
Shuler was charged with the us
ual crime, and his atiempted vicetim
was the 14-year-old daughter of a
prominent farmer living in the Ken
drick’s district of this county. The
attack was attempted about dark last
night and the sheriff’s office was
;nalled later in the night and asked
to send track dogs. no intimation be
ing given as to the purpose for which
they were needed. Going to the scene
}lh(—? officials were acquainted with
{he facts and began their pursuit.
- Shuler was captured about 2:30 this
‘morning and taken before the girl,
who identified him, whereupon the
officers slarted to town by a cricui
{ous route to avoid the posse of cit
izens, who had not yet returned to
the house. They had gotten within
four miles of Bainbridge, at the forks
Eof the roads, when they were held
up by a posse, ramed with shot guns
and rifles. One of the deputies was
'roughly handled before the negro was
taken.,
. The officers returned to town about
' daylight and in a short while early
:visitors from the western part of the
countv began coming into town with
the information that a negro was
hanging irom a limb of a tree on the
| Tolars® Still road. No intimation as
'to who composed the posse is to be
had.

SMITH ATTENDED WILSON RAL
LY BUT DORSEY WAS DETAIN
ED ELSEWHERE—FULTON DEM
. OCRATS DISAPPOINTED.
Atlania, Sept. 30.—Woodrow Wilson
Democrats of Fulton county, among
them many friends of Hugh Borsey,
were disappoinied yesterday when the
governor-elect failed to attend and
speak to a Wilson rally held under
the auspices of the Fulton county
Woodrow Wilsen Club.
Mr. Dorsey's friends were partic
ularly anxious for him to attend the
meeting because of the questions that
have been raised concerning his sup
port of President Wilson. They hop
ed he would make a speech removing
all doubt as to the earnestness and
enthusiasm of his endorsement both
of the President and the Democratic
national administration.
Another expected feature of interest
that failed to develop was a meeting
face to face between Mr. Dorsey and
Senator Hoke Smith. The . Fulton
Wilson Club invited Senator Smith,
CGovernor Harris and Governor-Elect
Dorsey to make addresses, so that it
weuld be shown forth to the world
that all factions of the Democratic
party are united in their support of
the President.
Cn account of Mr. Dorsgeyl's thrusts
at Senator Smith in his acceptance
speech in Macon Tuesday, the meet
ing between him and the senator at
ithe sneakers’ table was anticipated
with keen interest.
Besides Senator Smith and Governor
Harrls, among the other notahles who
spoke were Congressman William |
Schley Howard, of the Fifth district,
and Judge George Hlillyer. who admit- |
tad Woedrow Wilsen fo the bar in At-|
