Suspect Plot to Kill Witnesses In
Turner Folsom Killing
Case
WITNESSES FEAR FOR LIVES
Son of Dead Man Informs Offi
cers He Fears He’ll Be Killed
Before Case Is Tried
QUITMAN; Oct, 20.—Brooks
County officers who are investigat
ing the killing of Sherrod McGill
and his son, Talley McGill, whose
deaths early Friday were a sensa
tion of three South Georgia coun
ties, are following out the theory
that there is a plot to kill witnesses
who may be called upon to testify
in connection with the murder of
Turner Folsom. Max Jordan goes
on trial here next month in con
nection with the Folsom murder.
Israel Folgom, son of Turner
Folsom, made" the direct charge
late yesterday to county officers
from his plantation in Barney,
that his own life and the lives of
other witnesses have been in jeop
ardy for some time.
The McGills were killed 'at 4
o’clock Friday morning on a high
way five miles from Adel. Both
men were shot from behind.
Mr. Folsom declared in his state
ment; “They have already tried to
kill me, and they will get me soon
er or later.”
When asked what was meant by
“they,’’ Mr. Folsom said that there
is an organized plot on the part of
some who are friendly to Max Jor
dan to see that no one testifies
against him when he is placed on
trial for his life in Quitman during
the November term of superior
court.
Sherrod McGill and his sen lived
in the little town of Barney. The
father was 80 years of age and the
son 40. They had previously liv
ed on a farm owned by Israel Fol
som and they had as tenants Max
Jordan and his father.
Jordan Slays Turner Folsom
A few weeks ago Max Jordan
shot to death Turner Folsom, the
young married son of Israel Fol
som. The shooting took place on
the farm which was operated by
the McGills and on which the Jor
dans lived. Mrs. McGill, the wife
of Talley McGill, who was killed
Friday was the only eye witness to
the shooting of Turner Folsom,
but, according to the statement
made today the elder McGill and
his son, Talley, had informed him
that Max Jordan had declared, a
day before the shooting of Folsom.
. -t he wr.s going to kill him.
“There were three important
witnesses ,in the murder case,’’
. said Isreal Folsom today, “the old
man, the son and the son’s wife.
The two men told me of the threats
against my son by Max Jordan and
and the wife of Talley McGill ac
tually saw the shooting. I am not
guessing about this conspiracy. I
absolutely know. They tried to get
me night before last. I know the
man who called my dog off and
shot it. He did not mean to kill
tjio cio’’ T s.;.c, i .it it was his *
purpose either to frighten it or in
jure it slightly, so that it would
come back yelpingjuld draw me out
of the house was guarded by these
conspiractors and my wife’ saw
them. One of the men actually n
tered my house to get me.
“I know enough to warrant my
statement and I know the men, but
could not convict them in court and
am helpless in the matter. I am
sitting up at night now guarding
-200 bales of cotton at my home,
but I know these people are after
me and not after the cotton.”
Israel Folsom lives in Barney
and operates many large planta
tions. Ke has friends and relatives
throughout this section and is jield
in highest esteem. The killihg of
his son, Turner Folsom, was a sen
sational chapter in the criminal
history of the county. Turner Fol
som was very popular and himself
a large planter.
At a preliminary hearing, tne
father of Max Jordan, who was
charged as being an accessory to
the killing, was released, but
Max Jordan is now in the Brooks;
county jail awaiting trail.
The decision is Israel Folsom has ;
added new senational interest to [
the twin tragedy this morning on
the Adel Road. The two McGills, I
hoth of whom are now dead, and
John Kogers, father-in-law of the
younger McGill, all spent the nieht
together in Barney at the McGill
home night before last. They left
Barney yesterday morning and are
said to have spent the day in Way
cross, returning last night to the
Rogers home in Berrien County.
They left the Rogers home Friday
morning at 3 o’clock for Barney
to attend the dedication of the
Bi rney school building.
-Hie two McGills were sitting on
thd seat of the truck in which they
were riding and Rogers was seated
in a chair directly behind the two
men. Bob Lindsey, a farmer living
four miles east of Adel, heard the
shooting. He found the truck and

NEGROES ASK FOR

QUITMAN, Ga. Oct. 20.—Ser
ious consideration was given by the
Brooks county commissioners at
their called meeting to the follow
in" communication which was sign
ed” by many oi the leading negro
farmers in the county.
We the undersigned, having been
appointed by the Brooks County
Negro Farmers’ Conference as a
committee to confer with you, sol
iciting your aid in an effort to se
cure the service of an expert farm
demonstrator whose duty it will be
to work with the farmers in Brooks
County, imparting in formation on
Modern methods of planting, cul
tivating preserving and marketing
ia rm products.
“We have the assurance that the
government will provide such an
agent, paying his salary, providing
that the county in which we will
work will help in taking care of a
small percentage of the incidental
expense.
■ “We feel that it is an absolute
necessity that this method be re
sorted to in order to encourage a
large percentage of our farmers to
remain on the farm.
"We therefore ask that the com
missioners will make an appropria
tion that will enable the negro far
mers to have an efficient teacher
located who will be in easy reach
<>,’ rll the negro farmers in our
County.”
still sitting on the seat were two
McGills. They had been shot from
behind and their yoats were badly
burned. It seems as though the re
volver was held very close to their
. bodies.
ihe older McGill was shot
through the back of the head and
also through the body. Young Mc
| Gill wag" shot through the back of
; the neck, breaking the neck, and
I also through the body, penetrating
the heart: All lour of the bullets
j entered from the real.
Rogers was found about a mile
I from the scene of the killing, ap.
parently drunk. He was lying in
1 the road. He had a whisky bottle
; and r. recently fired pistol on his
I person. The. five shells found at
| the scene of the killing fitted the
pistol m Roger’s possession. The
I two dead men were unarmed. At
I the coroners-inquest Friday after
noon in Adel the jury returned a
I verdict that the two McGills were
' killed by persons unknown but ree
i ommended that John Rogers be
held in jail pending an investiga
tion by the grand jury. Late Friday
afternoon Rogers was spirited
away from Adel by the sheriff and
a deputy. |
The McGills will probably be
buried Sunday. _ .?

MANY BEAUTIFUL MODELS
Miss Kathryn Williams, of El

Queen of Show
(By SARAH TOWER)
Thiee- gentlemen, whose identi
fy will never be disclosed, awarded
the basket of Russell roses for the
most beautiful of Americus neigh
bors, in the beauty contest last
night, to Miss Katherine Williams,
of Ellaville.
With a house packed from roof
to basement, the Fall Fashion show
of the Americus merchants went
off with without a bobble.
Walter Page who arranged and
managed the affair for the mer
chants, gave to his audience one of
the most delightful evenings of the
year.
Long before the curtain rose, ev
ery seat was filled. Little Kendal
Beavers was the big hit with his
song. Mrs. Olin Dixon and Mrs.
Hamilton Holt pleased the audience
in - the delightful vocal selections
ano Mrs. Cham Whit’s violin
solo was thoroughly enjoyed.
Mrs. Boyd Stackhouse, “daintily
attired in negligee,” as the prog
ram puts it, in a most delightful
dance, was received with the great
est enthusiasm.
Marjfcret Hooks as French maid
wearing satin dress and displaying
Pearlman’s hats, was one of the
most attractive features of the
program.
The men’s fashions in which a
large number of local young men
appeared ; was a ngw event for
Amercus and all were received with
interest and appreciation by the
audience.
Bailey’s and Cohen’s displayed
an excellent line of men’s clothing
—'hats, top-coats, over-coats, prep
suits business suits and tuxedos.
Pinkstons, Pealman, The Fash
ion Shop and Ansley’s display of
evening gowns, sport suits, wraps,
and street dresses was marvelous,
and the girls looked wonderful in
them.
Miss Tillman, Miss Walker and
Mrs. Pealman had just the hat to t
go with every costume, and were
the prettiest that have ever been
seen in Americus.
The first showing of junior girts’
dresses in Americus by Ansley’s
modeled by Elizabeth Andrews, and
the Kiddie costume worn by Little
Ruth Eldridge were attractive.
Neighboring town DeSoto was rep
resented by Miss Duncan, Hunting
ton, by Miss Laurie Johnson, Ella
ville, by Miss Katherine Williams;
Leslie, Miss Myra Sims, and Smith
ville by Miss'- Theone Webb. No
wonder it was hard for the judges
to pick the prettiest girl, because
every one of them were beauties.
An out of town guest expessed
our sentiment when he stated that
-‘the Fashion Show was certainly
a 'knock cut’ from beginning to
end with gorgeous dresses, pretty
girls, good-looking men’s clothes,
with plenty of good-looking men to
wear them couldn’t be beat any
where.”
Tne merchants that participated
in the show were elated over the
results, as the show was a credit to
Americus as well as themselves,
and every one seemed happy and
proud ot their community as repre
sented last night. •

UILLIKWffIT
II SOUTH'S MILLS
ATLANTA, Oct. 20.—Much has
been said and written recently
about ihe growth of the textile in
dustry in the South and the many
advantages that obtain in this sec
tion over the New England states.
But it has remained for E. Howard
Bennett, one of the publishers of
tshe American Wool and Cotton Ex
porter to add the last word in an
address' before the Rhode Island '
Purchasing Agents’ Association, :
which is being made public here by
cotton mill men.
Mr. Bennett begins his address
by calling attention to a million
and a half order that recently was
placed in the South by Henry Ford
after having considered British and
Eastern competition. He then pro
ceeds to show that the South is not
only coming into accendency in this
country, but that it is rapidly tak
ing away trade in the Orient that 1
once adhered exclusively to New)
England mills.
'I he results is, he says, that there !
are now thousands of looms idle <
in the East, with no new develop- :
ments in that section, while mil- ;
lions of dollars are being invested j
in new mills in the South,
A group of mills recently were
sold at Lancaster* S. C. at a reput
ed price of $55 a spindle, says Mr.
Bennett, who declares, can
offer a Rhode Island mill contain
ing 80,0000 spindles for sl2 per
spindle, and there are mo fakers
Twenty years ago there was prac
: tically no cotton goods manufac
| tured in this section. Today there
i are 15,000,000 spindles in the
, South and ip the East.,
the mills that have moved South
and that have be&n built in this sec
tion, it is estimated, represent
$1,000,000000 of cotton goods and
$500,000,000 per annuum in wages
At S2O per sinpdle it represents an
investment of $30,000,000 and
when taxed at an average of S2O
• per thousand it represents $6,000,
. 000 per year in additional taxes for
: this section, to be spent in educa
, tion and other things that make
• for general progress. And “the
worst of it is that this is not his-
■ tory,” says Mr. Bennett, “but is a
current condition. The mills are
Ijoing South today.

No Provision in Amendment For
States To Surrender Responsi
bility, He Declares
WASHINGTON; October 20.
President Coolidge called on the
governors of the several .states to
assume their full share of respon
sibility for the enforcement of pro
hibition laws.
Meeting with more than thirty
state executives who had responded
to his invitation to attend a White
House coference on law enforce
ment, the president,today flatly de
clared that “no provision of eigh
teenth amendment or national pro
hibition act contemplates any sur
render of state responsibility.”
The provisions of the amendment
and its supplementary statutes are
perfectly plain, the president said,
in the directions they give both to
the president of the nation and .the
governors of various states.
He added to that country “ought
to comprehend that when laws have
been made there is, and can be, no
question about the duty of execu
tives to enfpree them with such in
struments and by such means as the
law provides for their enforcement.”
The president ended his talk with
out suggesting any new methods of
co-operation between the federal
government and states of the uh-'

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.—Pres

New hampshre, chairman of the re
publican senate campaign commit
tee, .said Friday upon his return
from a swing through twelve states
west and east, The senator, who
conferred with the president during
the day on the political situation,
added, however, that everywhere
he had been he had found a .favor
able spirit toward Mr. Colidge
with scarcely any leading republi
cans who did not take his nomina
tion for granted.
Governor Pinchot, of Pennsyl
vania; former Governor Lowden, of
Illinois, and Senator Johnson, of
California, were among those men
tioned by Senator Moses in connec
tion with the presidential nomin
ation contest. He would not venture
a prediction as to whether Mr.
Coolidge would be nominated, say
ing it was too early for that.
Fliwer King Is Serious.
Senator Moses declared that
there are today more than “affir
matively for Henry Ford for presi
dent than for any other one man.”
“They are not all of one party,’
he said, “nor are they organized. If
Ford accepts the nomination of the
farmer-labor party, as he seems in
clined now to do, the situation will
be somewhat unhappy for the re
publicans as I would think that ev
ery electoral vote Ford will get
will be at the expense of the repub
lican party,”
Senator Moses said Governor
Lowden is conducting an active
campaign for the republican presi
dential nomination, adding that he
has a capable representative in
Washington who is undertaking to
persuade the republican leaders in
the state to stand for uninstructed
delegates.

surprise you,” said C. W. McClure,
Atlanta merchant-financier, dis
cussing the subject in a hotel lobby
here today, “to know just how much
Henry Ford sentiment there is in
Georgia. I honestly believe there
are more Georgians for Konery

are Georgians for any other man,
for president. And the Ford ‘boom
is growing, too—his star yet is in
its ascendancy. Keep your eye on
Henry Ford; he may be your next

Mr. McClure is the original spon
