e GRAND JURY RETURNED 32 INDICTMENTS
Gambling and Pistol Toting L;lin the Number of Bills
Found, With “Shooting at Another” in Third Place.
The grand jury which has just ad
journed broke all former records in
the history of the county in the num
per of indictments’ returned.
The average number of true bills
jound during a session of the su
perior court has ranged from about
20 to 50, but the recent grand jury
doubled these former puny figures
and went nearly to the century num
her.
The jury was in session just seven
davs, and when they had heard the
jast witness and closed their dock
ot a record of just 92 true bills had
peen made. |
The indictments were for offenses
ranging from jumping contracts to
murder, with pistol toting and gamb
ling tieing for first place as to the
WORSHAM AND NIXON IN DAW
SON SATURDAY MORNING.
Addressed About Seventy-Five Farm
ers in the City Court Room
on Cotton Wilt.
Mr. E. L. Worsham, state ento
mologist, and Prof. R. L.Nixon, of the
State Agricultural College at Athens,
were in Dawson Saturday morning,
and addressed a meeting of about
seventy-five farmers in the court
house. The object of these gentle
men, who, with others, have been
on a tour of the state, is to inform
the farmers as to black root in cotton
and the most successful method of
cambatting the disease.
“Cotton seed proof against the
back root is the only solution of this
problem,” said Mr.- Worsham. “It
may require a year or so to seeure
enough seed to be used in the forty
odd counties in which the wilt dis
ease is found, but the farmers are
going to stand by us in our fight, and
that means complete victory. We
must get rid of this pest at once,
as we face another g-ave peril to the
cotton crop if some munforeseen some
thing does not intervene. I have
reference to the boll weevil. The
past year the pest travelled 90 miles,
a greater distanee than it has ever
gone before in one year. It is now
on the border of Alabama on the
east, and if it continues to travel as
rapidly as it did the past year it
will reach Georgia‘in the next four
or five years. I think it wisest to
face what seems the inevitable and
prepare to combat it. We are get
ting ready now for the fight with
the weevil, and hope to make such
progress in the next two or three
years that we can keep it from doing
great damage.” |
Mr. Nixon spoke in the interest of
the state agricultural college.
Wherever they go the speakers ob
tain names of farmers who desire to
secure from the state cotton seed for
planting which produces a plant that
most successfully resists the disease.
They have secured already some
thing like 1,200 names of farmers
who want some of the seed, and ex
pect to secure many more names.

SENTENGED AGAIN TO SWING
\
SECOND TIME GALLOWS LOOMS
UP BEFORE HENRY BELL.
Henry Jackson, Who Had Also Twice
Been Convicted of Murder, Gets
Off With Sentence of 20 Years.
4 :
The gallows again looms up be
fore Henry Bell, and- unless some
thing intervenes between now and
New Year’s eve he will pass out of
existence with thé old year.
Bell was convicted last week for
the second time of killing Will Jack=
son, and for the second time the
death sentence was passes upon him,
it being decreed by the court that
he die on the gallows on December
30th.
At the time of his former convie
tion he was sentenced to be hanged
on July 2nd, but a motion by his at
torneys for a new trial was granted
by Judge Worrill. No motion has
‘been made for another trial since the
last conviction, and the attorneys say
‘that so far as they now know no fur
ther effort will be made in behalf of
the condemned man.
Saved After Two Convictions.
Henry Jackson, who had twice be
fore been convicted of murdering
Henry Shines, another negro, but
each time was granted a new trial
by the supreme court, finally gets off
with a sentence of twenty years
in the penitentiary. By agreement
he was permitted to enter a plea of
guilty to manslaughter, and sentence
as above stated was imposed upon
him. This, however, practically
means the remainder of his lifetime
in penal servitude, as he is over fifty
years of age.
Andrew Gay, who cut W. R. John
son’s throat, inflicting a wound from
which he died, while they were re
turning home one night recently, was
indicted by the grand jury for mur
der. At the trial, however, the jury
returned a verdict of voluntary man
slaughter, and Gay was sentenced to
ten years in the penitentiary.
A mistrial resulted in the case of
Sell Boyd, a negro who shot and
killed his wife recently on the farm
of Lewis Bros. near Chickasaw
hatchee.
