UNCLE AND AUNT
MURDER NEGRO GIRL.
Monticello, Ga., Nov. 20.-
Cordelia Watson, a little negro
girl alaiut o years old who lived
in Monticello with her grand- j
mother, was carried one day last
week by her uncle, Joe Watson,
to his home in lower Jasper. For
some cause he liecame enraged j
at the child Monday evening;
about night. Neighbors heard'
her crying and heard the lieating
Joe Watson was giving her.
Tuesday and Wednesday the
child could not*be found. Sheriff
' W. F. Persons took charge of Joe
Watson and his wife and incar
cerat<*d them in jail. By separa
tion he found that the child had
been killed and put in Cedar
creek. He went to the place!
1 and found that the banks indi
cated that some considerable
tramping aliout had been done
but no corpse was .found. Re
turning to town he continued to;
investigate and found that Joel
Watson and his wife had gone to j
Gammon creek, or Murder creek,
1 nine miles away from' where
Watson lived, late Tuesday even
ing. Taking this cue he and a
1 bailiff went to Gammon’s bridge
! and there found the corpse. A
coroner’s inquest yesterday both
,l >e Watson and his wife were
' held for murder. U|K»n the whole
it is as brutal a murder as has
' 4 een committed in years in Jas-
P *r. Nearly every bone in the
I i ii id’s body was broken and a
terrible crime in a most brutal
. manner had been perpetrated.

i j tli 1 11 iii** <ga. Tt*im , Nov. 10
In Knoxville todav an opinion
was liund>*d down by Judge M. N
\**il ot lli<* state supreme court
deciding that a dealer in whiskeys
:oi spirituous beverages can ship
1 quors out of the state to cue-J
i.oner, without being amenable to
‘ the tour mile, or statewide prohi-
I iii ui law enacted by the lust’
* legislature.
' The decision was in the ease of
the state vs J. W. Kelly A* Co.,
of Hamilton county, and thoi
question involved whether or not ;
tile h hling of the court below
should he sustained, the lower
e.oirt having quashed the indict-j
m nt and the state appealed the
supn-me court.
The facts of the case were that
.1 W. Kelly A* Co., of Chattanoo-j
ga, n June 10. 1910, received a
■■■' s from M K. Grume, of New ,
York, enclosed with an order for

was delivered t*> the Central of
G rg a Railway Company, a

ground of indictment was that

BURGLARS AT WURK
IN VALDOSTA.
i Valdosta, Ga.. Nov. 20. Bur
glars continue to do queer
pranks in this section. I.ast
uight a burglar entered tlk* .store
|of Mobley & Co., on Oak street
by prizing the front door open.
The burglar, then proceeded to ‘
fill up on bottled soda water,
i leaving three or four empty l>ot
; ties on the counter to show that
he had called. Nothing else was
missing from the store, though
there was a lot of jewelry in the
cases. The money drawers were
j not touched. The door was
found open this morning,
l A robber visited the home of
Tom Gray, a well known colored
! farmer. Friday night and hauled
off a bale of cotton weighing 410
pounds and valued at $l4O. The
weight of the bale and the
initials “I). G.” were marked on
it, the l»ale lielonging to Dan
Gray. The cotton was rolled
across the yard and for 200 yards
down the road when it was put
on a wagon and hauled off.
Efforts to locate it have failed.
