10ill! CLIMAX
Climax, Ga. May 20—The mu
tilated body of Bell Martin, and
old negro woman who lived near
Climax was discovered at 6:30
a. m., by Mr. Carson Whigham,
and'a party of friends while en-
route to the Whigham home.
The body was found about a
mile and a half east of Climax,
near a negro church, and it is
evident from the' nature of the
wounds, that death was caused
by blows from a cudgel found by
her side.
The authorities are searching,
for a strange negro man who
drove in to Climax at a late hour
yesterday evening and inquired
the way to Bell Martin’s home.
An investigation showed that 1 the
same man drove out t) the vitims
holne after dark and inticed her
away under pretense of carrying
her to nurse his wife whom he
alleged to be ill.
The team which he drove was
discovered near Climax- this
morning, but up to this hour no
clew of the supposed murderer
has been unearthed:

his condition.
Do you want a real fine full-
blood Jersey cow-—a four gallon
cow? She is just about • dry now,
and cow feed is mighty high. She
is wo.th $125.00. $60.00 gets her.

00. GLOWER US A FARMER
the Progress man had a look
through the splendid farm of
Dr. Eugene Glower Friday af
ternoon last, and to say that the
experience was interesting is
putting it but mildly.
We had no idea that the Doc
tor was ' farming along strictly
scientific lines. But he .is do
ing tnat very thing.
He has a splendid farm of more
than 200 acres, two miles' from
town, all stumped and in an ex
cellent state of cultivation.
Sixty acres in corn and pindars
forty in oats, and he will have,
v/hen he gets through putting
out vines, 30 acres in- sweet po
tatoes, besides peas, sorgurn and
other crops. Everything is ar
ranged with scientific exactness
and system, and the whole thing
looks mighty good to us.
But the most interesting item
we saw was the Doctor’s hog
crop. Ten brood sows, registered
Polaqd-China, with about 100
head of pigs and sho.ats, as fine
as was ever seen in this State.
The Doctor is experimenting
with cattle raising also. He has-
a dipping vat for the extermina
tion of the dreaded'cattle tick,
and finds that the remedy is all
that is claimed for it.
The Doctor has spent quite a
lot of money getting. his farm
“fixed”, and his houses and
barns are models. But the bal
ance sheet is already showing up
on the right side. He is supply
ing the local market with -pork
and beef several times a week,
'd noticeablo fact that he
etter price on account of
r the high quality.
. Flagler Dead
Henry M. Flagler died at his
Florida home Tuesday morning.
He was a very rich man and
his Florida estate is valued at
more than $50,000,000.
Railroading was his pet hobby,
and his East Cost and his “Over
the Sea Line” from Miami to
Key West are great properties.

Congressman S. A. Rodden

he leaves Washington he, strikes

He looks well.

The clerk of the Supreme
Court of Georgia has notified
Solicitor W. J; Willie, of the City
Court of Cairo* that the judg
ment of the lower court in the
case of the State vs. J. W. Bodi-
ford, was affirmed. This defen
dant.was charged and convicted
for the offense of living in a
state of adultery and fornication
with one Willie Yawn. The de
fendant will have to pay a fine
of $100.00 or work oh the chain-
gang for 12 months.
This is one of the most f arreach-
ing decisions handed down by the
court of appeals, and means much
to law and order and morality in
this State.
Solicitor Willie is to be congrat
ulated, though the penalty in this
case should have been a chain
gang sentence, instead of a fine,
