AMERICUS TIMES-RECOHIJEi
JUDGE J. A. TURNER
DEAD AT EATONTON.
Served State Many Years
on Prison Commission.
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
Eatonton, Ga., Sept. 29.—Judge Jo
seph S. Turner, chairman of the pris
on commission of Georgia, died at .his
home here this afternoon, after a long
illness.
Judge Turner was born in Putnam
county, on his father’s plantation, on
December 19, 1859. During the war
his father published a newspaper,
“The Country Man,” on this farm, nine
miles from a railroad. He died soon
after the war and Judge Turner was
thrown on his own resources. He
spent a short time at the University
of Georgia, then studied law and was
admitted to the bar in 1877. Before
he was 21 years of age he was ap
pointed judge of the county court of
Putnam county by Governor Colquitt.
This office he filled for twelve years.
In 1892 he resigned to enter the state
legislature. He served as chairman
of the penitentiary committee of the
house in 1892-93. In 1894 Governor
Atkinson apointed him principal keep
er of the state penitentiary system.
This office he held until it was abol
ished in 1897, when he was appointed
a member of the newly created prison
commission, and was by it elected its
chairman. He held this office until his
death.
“THE HENRIETTA”PLEASED
A CROWDED HOUSE. I
Every Expectation Realized by Last
Night's Production.
A large audience at the opera house
last night enjoyed every moment of
the performance of “The Henrietta”
by the Jeffersons. It was an admir
ably enjoyable comedy, put on by a
capable company, with all the accesso
ries, scenery and costuming, beyond
criticism. Seldom has a play come
to Americus that has given more gen
uine enjoyment than “The Henrietta.”
It greatly strengthened the hold of
the Jefferson brothers on the thea
ter-going public here.
iATDKER’S WIFE NEAR DAWSON
IS CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Dentil of Husband's Half Brother Laid
to Her.
News was brought to Americus
yesterday afternoon of the arrest at
Chickasawhatchie, in the morning, of
a white woman, the wife of a small
farmer and carpenter, charged with
the poisoning of her husband's half
brother, who was jointly interested
with him, it is stated, in the farm
property.
As the story went, the half brother
died some days ago and was buried.
Later some suspicions arose, the body
was exhumed and the intestines and
stomach sent to Atlanta for analysis
The chemist demanded a large fee
for the work, and the portions of the
dead man sent to him were returned
to the place of death.
A local physician at Dawson then
undertook to analyze the organs in
question and, it is stated, either
extracted enough poison to kill a dog
or killed a dog by giving some of the
organ to it.
This confirmation of the suspicion
of foul play led to the arrest of the
wife of the brother, he being away at j
the time of the death of the supposed
victim. A preliminary investigation
was set for yesterday afternoon.
Both the husband and the wife de
nied that any crime had been com
mitted. The half brother is said to
have been subject to epileptic fits, and
they declare that his death was caus
ed by this.
~ Considerable excitement prevailed
in the district in which the parties*
live.

VETERANS ON IREK AT
J THE GATES OF ATHENS
Gen. Davenport And Com
rades Return
Americus veterans, attending the
state reunion at Athens this week are
at home again this morning and entlm
s astic over the splendid reception
given “the boys of the sixties” in the
Classic City. No other state reunion
was more successful in every way
or so much enjoyed.
Athens not only opened wide hei
gates but took off the hinges as the
old fellows who had followed Lee and
Jackson approached the city.
The great parade, with receptions
and business meetings, rendered the
reunion a memorable one.
The following brigade commanders
were chosen; Northern brigade, L.
L. Middlebrooks of Covington; South
ern brigade, W. H. Bourne, Savannah;
Eastern brigade, J. W. Preston, Ma
con; Western brigade, J. H. Martin,
Hawkinsville.
Then came the fight for division
commander. It was all good natured
but was very close.
Gen. John Waddell of Cedartown
was elected over Gen. H. T. Daven
port of Americus by a vote of 113 to
93. On motion of General Davenport
the election was made unanimous
The division then adjourned its busi
ness meeting.
At night the Daughters of the Con
federacy gave one of the most elegant
entertainments ever given in the state
in honor of the veterans. It was given
on the lawn of the city hall and
grounds were a blaze of beauty under
the myriads of white and red incan
descent lights.
Served by fully one hundred of the
Doughters of the Confederacy the
supper was one long to be remember
ed.
The parade yesterday was the big
gest ever seen in that city and out
side the general reunion, the biggest
Confederate veterans parade ever seen
in Georgia. There were hundreds of
citizens in line as well as veterans
and fully one thousand school chil-,
dren. )
“TALKS AND TALKERS,”
PROF. LANE’S SUBJECT.
Lectures Tomorrow Night for Agricul
tural College Laboratory.
Chas. Lane, the well known humor
ist lecturer, will deliver the best of
his noted lectures at the Armory FrL
day evening at 8 o’clock. The subject
will be “Talk and Talkers.” It is
useless to say that he will do the sub
ject justice. He will not only delight
his hearers, but will charm them. He
is convulsingly funny.
The lecture is for the benefit of the
Agricultural School laboratory, and
it is hoped that a large number will
attend.
Admission will be 50 cents for
adults and 25 cents for children.
Mrs. M. T. Elam announces her

Strange that a woman is never bit
ter against gambling so long as her
husband wins.

MR. HOOKS MAS BOUGHT
THE ADAMS PLACE
Thousand Acres Is Bought
Yesterday
Mr. Thomas B. Hooks has bought
the Adams plantation, several miles
south of Americus and formerly own
ed by the late Mrs. W. .T. Adams. The
sale was effected yesterday through
Allen & Crockett, real estate agents
the consideration being $15,000, or
sls per acre for the 1,000 acres pur
chased, not all the place having been
sold. Mr. Hooks bought the place as
an investment, as the land lies near
his own splendid plantation here.
This is the second large sale of farrn
; ing land effected here this week, the
Worthy and Adams farms, the con
sideration, combined, being very
nearly $40,000.
MINISTER OF AMERICUS IN

Rev. Williams in Mobile When Hurri

Rev. Luther Williams, formerly rec
tor of Calvary church, Americus, but
now residing in Fort Valley, passed
through the city yesterday en route
home from Mobile, where he has been
spending some time with his family.
Mr. Williams was in the gulf city last
week when it was swept by the West

LIVED FORTY-TWO YEARS
“DOWN ON THE FARM.”
Has Bought It Several Times in Pay
ment of Rent.
Mr. E. T. Pound, a well known resi
dent of Barnesville, is in the city, and
in discussing farming operations in
his county, Pike, yesterday told of his
experience in the rental of a farm
there. His tenant has lived upon the
farm for forty-two years consecutive
ly, and has just leased it for another
term of five years. When the new lease
is finished he will have lived for near
ly half a century on the same old
farm, for which he pays an annual
rental of $250. The farm is worth
probably $5,000, and already the ten
ant has paid out $10,500 as rent, which
at compound interest annually would
have bought the farm and several
others like it.
