AGED MOTHER SEES SON
SHOOT MAN TO OEATH
John Odom Killed in Brooks
County by Robert Holwell.
Quitman, Ga., March 18— A
tragedy occoured at Nankin, ten miles
south of Quitman, early this morn
ing in which John Odom was almost
instantly killed by .Robert Holwell.
Holwell., accompanied by his aged
mother, was at the, store of C. I.
Knight. Mrs. Holwell was making
some purchases and her son was
sitting on a counter in the rear of
the store when Odom entered.
Mr. Knight’s attention was at
tracted by a nois and he looked
around and saw Holwell striking
Odom with a buggy whip. Suddenly
Howell grabbed -a shot gun which
was near by and pointing it at
Odom .fired,the charge entering near
the heart, causing Odom’s death in
a few minutes.
It is said the men had a fight last
Christinas in which Holwell had the
worst of it and it is supposed that it
was a renewal of this trouble that
caused the killing. Those in the
store did not hear any words pass
..between the men. Odom was 24
years old. Holwell 25. Both men
are wh&e and well known in this
section.
etts and very smutty stories in their
foul mouths are cheaper than old
worn out work horses. Nobody
wants them at any price. Men
don’t employ them and sensible
girls won’t marry them. They are
not worth their keeping to anybody
and it is not likely that they will
be able to keep them selves, says
the Collinsville Courco. If anybody
should happen to read this who
answers to the above description
let him take a look at himself and
go to someplace in the outskirts of
the city and jump into a well and
say ‘ ‘here goes nothing. ’ ’
EliND FOR PEANUTS
CONTINUES TO GROW
O Temyora! O Morse. O
the Times! O the Customs!
In our knowledge there has never
been so greater a demand for men
as there is today. Real men—not
the common cusser, booze killer or
cigarette sucker, but sober, upright,
honest, clean manly men.
Recent invention has has increased
the fields of labor a hundred fold,
Aand is keeping up a constant call
|for intelligent, sober, competent
4jjyoung men. Incompete’ncy bea ,- s
no premiums. Business men are
[daily advertising for such young
imenaswe have mentioned above,
|who do not worship at the shrine
[immorality and infidelity. But such
lire not plentiful, and always brings
la premium. The country and
|towns are full of boys and young
Incn, but they cannot answer the
tall. Hundreds of them bear the
|tamp of the moral leper—the moral
paralytic—are not wanted. Even
though many pass soon give way to
temptation and rest benind the bars,
|nd the daily papers tell us that
rotnen and fast living is the cause,
Who is to blame for this state of
flairs? 1 be home is the boy’s first
! nd should be his best school. But
1 ie time now is when, as a rule,
arent3 take no controle over the
J.mily for whose conduct they are
eld responsible forever. Home
raining is a thing of the past, and
Bible injunction, “train up a
lild” has no longer a place in the
■ find and hearts of the present day
arents, and the consequence is that
ney say the world is growing
i orse.
But the most shocking part is that
the girls are in many places losing
tile place that God gave them. They
too, are allowed to go at will, with
oiit discretion, and wander about
with fast men. Do we wander at
the result? That she loses that
inate modesty that she can never
lignin possess—that she falls from
her lofty estate.
Are you astonished to hear her
use low and vulgar language and
. see her violate and degrade the very
principals that makes woman
woman? In our opinion it is high
lime for the mothers and fathers
to look about them, and learn of
the real situation.—Butlar Herald

Imports Last Year Assumed Un
precedented Proportions
Washington, March 13.—It niay
have been due to the increase in
the number of pea-nut eating
fans at the baseball games, or it
may have been because of the
confectioners, but the fact is the
imports of peanuts to the United
States for the year 1910 assumed
unprecedent proportions.
United US Consul General Gau-
rin, at Marseilles, France, where
great quantities of peanuts are
raised, reports to the department
of commerce and labor that pea
nut exports to the United States
for the year 1910 rose in value
from comparatively insignificant
sum of S8,7' 7 2 in 1909 to $371,568.
Large purchases of peanuts by
Americans also were recorded
and the trade-was the briskest in
years.
