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 Here Goes “Nothing.” Boys with hats on the back of their heads and long hair hanging clown on their foreheads and cigar 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. 4 4 dffico 1111111155,'' “Ik Funeral of Mrs. M. A. Andrews, at Thomasville.
