MULE STRUCK
BY AUTOMOBILE
Parts of Animal's Anatomy
Strewn Over One Section
of County Sunday
Various parts of the anatomy of
a unsuspecting, hard working mule
were scattered over one section of
the county early Sunday night when
the animal was struck amidship two
miles from the city on the Ellaville
road by a lightless Ford car driven
by Steve Foster, negro, who plainly
demonstrated that he knew more
about cotton cultivation, providing
he knew anything at all, than he did
about operating a gasoline buggy.”
The negro who was slightly injured
made his escape.
The negro driver of the buggy
told Sheriff McArthur, who investi
gated the affair, that he was jog
ging along at a moderate rate of
speed, keeping to his side of the
road, when his mule was struck. “I
didn’t see no lights and I don’t be
lieve the mule did either,” the negro
told the officer.
Sheriff McArthur stated this
morning that if the negro is appre
hended he was going to exert every
effort to prosecute him. In all
probability, said the officer the
grand jury will handle the case.
tive said the woman used her ‘Pom’
as a shield to cover her alleged dep
redations.
Miss Lorraine confessed the
theft, and admitted also that she
was a user of narcotics. She asked
the court to suspend sentence until
she could arrange for the care of
her pet, with a matron of the
Jefferson Market Prison.
She was sent to the workhouse for
1 four months for treatment.

RAIN FAILS TO IT’S CALLES OR
COOL POPULACE CHAOS IN MEXICO
' Although Precipitation was .61
Inches, the Thermometer
Failed to Drop Below 70
I Americus was doubly blessed
Sunday, receiving .61 inches of rain
fall and a drop in the temperature
of approximately 14 degrees. Al
though the little red lines in the
thermome, at the home of J. Car
rot I*oole, local- weather man, did
not top 92 degrees at any time dur
ing the day, it never descended be
low 70, and as a consequence the ma
jority of Americus people spent a
very uncomfortable Sunda ynight.
The rain, the third gift from
Jupiter Pluvius in as many weeks,
brought the total precipitation for
this month to over three inches. Al
though falling in torrents, it is nob
thought that the rain damaged the
small quantity of open cotton re
maining in the fields.
Mr. Poole is of the opinion that
the back bone of the depressive heat
wave has at last been broken, but J
does not look for very cool weather j
until we have a few more rains and
the steam and heat is driven from
the long suffering earth.
: MAN NARROWLY
ESCAPES DEATH
Pole Crashes to Earth Few Sec
onds After Lineman Phillips
Descends
If it had not been for the rapid
fire thinking of 0. C. Johnson, Mr.
I Phillips, lineman for the South
(Georgia Public Service Company,
who was busily engaged in cutting
wires atop of a pole on Lamar street
this morning when the pole snapped
,at the base, would probably met
instant death.
Mr. Johnson, maintenance engi
neer for the Postal Telegraph com
pany here, and who knows more
'about removing poles than the ma*
jority of men working at the trade,
was watching Mr. Phillips at work. 1
He was about to return to his office [
, when he sa wthe post quiwer and
I lean -in his direction. Realizing'
that the pole was about to fall and
i Mr. Phillips probably dashed to his
death, Mr. Johnson grabbed one
of the long spiked used by ;
, linemen and drove ... into the post
on the falling side.
The tall of the pole was checked,
'and Mr. Phillips descended to the
.ground. He had no sooner put his
; foot on mother earth when the huge ,
[ piece of timber crashed to the
ground, bringing with it the Windsor
| pharmacy’s large electric sign and
i several awnings on the Jackson
street side of the drug store',
“That’s just about thpWosest
J call I ever had” said Mr. Phillips
i after he had regained his compos-
I ure.

The Peon's Only Hope of
Emancipation
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 28.—The
j building of a modern nation on the
i foundation of those simple human
■ rights of life, liberty and the pur
suit of happiness—tltta-is the mean
ing of the recent turbulent events
jin “America’s Ireland,” the repub
[ lie of Mexico. f
| After iS years of civil war; af
ter 30 years of Diaz “peace”; after
400 years of looting slavery, pestil
ence and flood, the Mexican people
j today are raising their heads for the
first time to demand the right of
I self-determination and recognition
from the world as free citizens.
To back up these demands avig
orous house cleaning is on.
The new program of President
Plutarco Elias Calles’ government
means more than simple reconstruc
tion. This government proposes to
fulfill as nearly as possible the let
|ter of the 1917 Queretaro constitu
tion, a document as sacred to Mex
ico’s millions of peons as our own
constitution is to our people, and
one writing into Mexican law the
social achievements of the more lib
| eral states of the United States,
I such as Wisconsin and California.
The government may fall like
i Madero’s but Fit is not likely that it
will betray the people as did Huerta
■and his white guards or Carranza
land his army carpet-baggers,
i But it is a task as staggering as
i any in the world today.
The Calles government is popular
lat home and in the United States,
I but its enemies are crafty and pow-
I erful. It must steer a course be-,
■ tween menacing crags.
The fighting Yaquis of Sonora,
the “reds" of Vera Cruz and Tamp
ico, the direct-actionist agrarians of
Morelos and the unabsorbed Mayan
I —these must be conciliated as well
ias foreign gold-seekers.
The army, always predatory and
venal, is another source of danger.
It is said that Calles’ recent econ
omy slashes in the personnel of gen
erals has made him less popular with
the army than with the civilian pop- '
ulation.
How wisely Calles and his young
erous course is known to the body
of Mexicans and the Mexican press
if not to Washington diplomatic cir
cles.
• Even. - the American colony, with
the exception of the jingoes who
would like to see the Stars and
Stripes carried across the border
an ddown to the isthmus, wishes
I Calles well.
They know it is Calles or ehaos,
and that in the face of big cdds he
is doing his best.
In spite of endless report' that a
counter revolution lurks on every
hand. Mexico is peaceful, insolvent
and growingstable.
Calles, the first duly elected pres
ident of Mexico in 40 years is
' known as “The Latin Lincoln.”
I Whatever else he has in common
i with the Great Emancipator he is
: like Lincoln in being both ardently
■ loved and ardently hated..
i As a boy in Guymas, Sonora, he
j peddled water through the streets
He never wore shoes until he was

• David Biam, Murdered Man,
, Wanted by Kansas City Au
thorities for Dope Running
| NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—The body
.of a murdered man, found early Fri
day in an automobile at 98th street
and First Avenue, led police to be
liece, from information received
from private sources, that the ‘high
er-up bootleg fraternity has
wrought vengeance on the informer
,who brought about the raid by Fed
eral revenue agents on the head
i quarters of the gang in the Knicjjer
ibocker and Lngacre Buildings
I Wednesday.
I About 6 a. m. Murray Goff, a
, taxi driver was driving a fare along
I First Avenue when the cab collided
.with a limousine between 98th and
‘99th streets. Goff ami his fare
alighted to complain to the driver
.of the limousine, when two armed
I men jumped from the machine and
. menaced them with revolvers.
| Retreating, Goff and Bonn ran
I up First Avenue and returned with
Patrolman but the men had fled.
Opening the stalled car, Brennan
found the body of David Biam, alias
A. Harris, alias A. Phillips, slump
ed forward beside the driver’s seat
with a bullet hole through his head.
In his pockets were found $1,530,
a“mazzuzza,” or Jewish token, but
no papers bearing a New York ad
dress. On the floor of the blood
spattered automobile were found
two revolvers of 38 caliber.
Detectives commenced an investi
gation, which led later to the belief
.that the murdered man was David
1 Biam, well-known whiskey and nar
cotic smugglers, for whom Kansas
City authorities have offered a re
ward.
Inquiries showed the slayers had
cruised about First Avenue for
some time before the collision, ap
parently with the intention of throw
ing the body in the East River.
Examination of the 'Jicense plates
carried by the limousine showed
that they had been issued to Charles
Webber, No. 607 W. 180th street.*
Police are working on the the
ory that the murder was the work
of vengeance of the alleged “higher
up” bootleg gang, to which it is sai'l
Biam belonged, for squealing."
