MONDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 26, 1925. ENRAGED NEGRO WOUNDS FOUR When Men Refuse Him Lift He Becomes Enraged and Opens Fire On Them 4 MONROE. Ga., Oct. 26.—Deputy Sheriff J. M. Riley and David Sor rells are at the Monroe hospital dan gerously wounded; Cal Doster, of Campton, is suffering from a wound in the thigh and City Policeman Louis Malcom escaped with slight in jury when a bullet embedded itself in his watch chain, as a result of a negro desperado, Jim Ellis running amuck near here late Saturday night. The first shooting occurred about one mile above Monroe at 10 o’clock Saturday night. Doster, Sorrels and Jimmie Sims were in an automobile returning from Monroe to their homes near Campton, when they were hailed by Ellis and asked for a ride. The men passed on without ac cording to the negro's request and some few minutes later were com pelled to stop the car to repair a | puncture. While they were halted the negro overtook them, and one of the men recognizing Ellis, spoke to him and told him to get in the car and ride. | APPROACHED CURSING * It is claimed that the negro ap proached them, cursing, and that he whipped out a pistol and fired sev eral bullets, one of them entering Sorrell’s abdomen and puncturing his liver and another striking Doster in the thigh. The negro escaped and the two wounded men were brought to Monroe and carried to the city hospital for attention. Shortly after the shooting Deputy Sheriff Riley, County Bailiff Rufus Robinson, City Officers Louis Mal com and Erastus Moon and B. R. Hand went in search of the negro. About 6 o’clock Sunday morning they approached a negro house near Monroe where they had reason to be lieve that Ellis was hiding. Warren Cooper, occupant of the house, de nied that Ellis was there, but Sheriff Riley told him he would go in and take a look, anyway, and walked in with Officer Malcom, while th e oth er men surrounded the house. Immediately the oficers crossed the threshold Ellis’ pistol began to bark and in a few moments Sheriff Riley staggered into Malcom’s arms badly wounded. A glancing shot grazed Malcolm’s stomach, the ball embedding itself in his watch chain. Ellis emptied his pistol, reloading and emptied it again. Then makikng a dash for a rear window and going through the sash he escaped in the darkness, bareheaded and barefooted REALTYSALES SHOW INCREASE More Than $50,000 Worth of Property Changes Hand in and Around Douglas DOUGLAS, Ga., Oct. 26.—Real estate sales are becoming active in Douglas and Coffee County, accord ing to an interview with Dixie Real ty Company, which shows that they have sold, during the month of Oc tober more than $50,000 worth of Teal estate.

The war which changed our social struc ture, and Freud, who revealed our complexes, gave the impetus that we needed. ‘‘Freud,'’ he went on, “made it possible for people to talk about sex. As soon as they could talk about it, they could write about it. Sudden ly women became articulote. Their reactions to sex and to life which had been quite ignored up to this time suddenly became important to them and were blazoned forth in all the periodicals and novels. The en trance ot women into business and professions alco complicated the so cial scheme. “You have only to survey life in London, Paris, New York or any cosmospolitan center to realize that monogamy is most difficult under our present system of living. It will take the smaller communities sever al generations to catch up to cities in this respect. “So Unless there is a decided mod ification of our present marriage and divorce laws, it seems to me monogamy must pass.” Monogamy, Dr. Watson believes, is a beautiful ideal which fits into the ideas of the church'if not with biolo ogy, and which is worth saving, if possible. “The present condition of society is chaotic because the church is no longer in control,” he continued “It does not dominate the lives of people as it once did. It no longer acts as a check on their acts. Therefore the institutions that were set up by the church rather han by natural laws, naurally deteriorate.” Dr. Watson does not believe that we make radical changes in our in stitutions, but rather that we change them to fit our needs, and that when monogamy passes, i will be because we have evolved into a state of so ciety where we need a diferent type of restraint. He believes we do not progress in morals or in civilization, that we merely go in cycles. “It is possible,” he concluded, “that a complete smashup of our present social scheme would impress us with the advisability of making a study of how society should be con trolled by science, and we would work out the problems of personal relations and how human beings INDIGESTION!!!
