MAN ARRESTED
HEREONCHARGE
OF KIDNAPPING
Sheriff Gaddis and
Chief of Police Jenkins
Intercepted Flight to
East Point With Child.
Desperate at the thought that his
five-year-old motherless son is being
reared by improper parties, and de
spairing of obtaining his custody by
law, Grady Jackson Leathers, of East
Point, Ga., last Saturday night kid
napped the child from the custody of
an aunt, who lives in Rome, tossed him
into a waiting automobile and drove off
toward Atlanta
At CartersviUe he was halted by
Sheriff George Gaddis and Chief of Po
lice Joe Ben Jenkins, who had been
telehoned by Sheriff Wilson to inter
cept his flight. Without hesitation he
admitted his identity did not deny
having kidnapped child, said that its
custody had been awarded his wife’s
father by Ordinary Johnson and wound
up by saying that he was perfectly
willing to go back to Rome and stay in
jail if by so doing he could get his case
and that of his boy before a jury.
The Kidnapping.
The kidnapping took place near the
residence of J M. Broadwater, the
child’s grandfather, who lives at 5111
Branham avenue, shortly after 7 o’clock
last Saturday night. The child, in
company with an aunt Vera Broad
water, had gone to a grocery store. The
father w'ho had procured a taxicab and
gone to the vicinity on the chance of
seeing his son jumped from the car,
seized the boy tossed him into the front
seat, struck down the aunt, who at
tempted to interfere, and ordered the
taxi-drier to head for Atlanta.
The arrest at CartersviUe followed.
Charles Mendelson, who was driving
the taxi, states that Leathers did not
seem to be in any particuar hurry, and
that it required about an hour and a
half to travel the twenty-eight miles
between Rome and CartersviUe. Lea
thers was lodged in the Floyd county
jail by Sheriff Wilson and Deputy Gro
ver Williamson.
Leathers’ Story
| Leathers took his arrest calmly. He
; and his wife separated some two years
• ago, he stated She took their son to
live with her, carrying him to Rome lo
the Broadwater home. The wife died
in January of this year. Immediately,
he instituted court proceedings to get
possession of the hoy. His own father
and mother would be glad to give him a
home, he states. He is amply able to
take care of him, he says. Ordinary
Johnson, however, denied his plea and
sent the boy back to live with his
grandparents and aunts.
Not only does he want hts son with
him, Leathers told the CartersviUe of
ficers. but he feels that the home of
his father-in-law is not a proper place
for any child. He is determined, he
said, to get back his son. If by being
arrested and tried for kidnapping, he
accomplish this end, he will be satis
lied, he says.

KLAN RAPPED BY

Athens, Ga- June 27. —Lawlessness,
bureaucratic and ‘‘secret government’'
was scored here Wednesday by Judge
Samuel B. Adams, of Savannah, in the
baccalaureate address at the Univer
sity of Georgia commencement.
“There is no room for an invisible
empire in Georgia,’’ declared the speak
er. amidst a storm of applause. “Do
not try men in hidden secrets of an or
ganization without a hearing.’’ Speak
ing to the graduates, he said: “One of
your solemn duties, young men and
women, is to upho'd the law, but do it
in the open.
“If the university does not teach
tolerance, charity, fairness, loyalty and
patriotism, it is not worthy of its ex
istence.’’
He urged the graduates to practice
the principles taught at the university,
maintain their self-respect and tread
in the straight path of duty, service and
| p.ariotism.

Tests of Planes
For Dusting Cotton
The work of the Department of Ag
riculture at Tallulah, La., in develop
ing methods and apparatus for dusting
cotton to kill the boll weevil, is being
continued this summer and heavier
planes are being used. 'ln the spring
three DeHaviland 4-B planes were de
tailed by the war department for use
in these tests, and competent engineers
and pilots were also provided.
Previously, considerable work on this
problem had been done with light ma
chines, and the use of the larger ones
has made it necessary to modify the
distributing mechanism. Several types
of dust hoppers have been made for
meeting the new conditions, but It will
probably require some time to develop
a design which will be satisfactory.
Mr. Coad, who has charge of the boll
weevil laboratory for the Department
of Agriculture, expects to have a fairly
satisfactory permanent hopper in
stalled in one of the planes for use ini
actual work durinig the summer.
Several plantations near the landing
field have been mapped and all ar
rangements have been made for dust
ing the cotton with the planes. The
results of the new tests will be awaited
with interest by all those connected
with the cotton industry,

132 Negroes Were
Put Off the Train
Negro laborers to the number"of 132
were put off a Central of Georgia train
at Leesburg a few nights ago and
walked,' back eleven miles to Albany,
where they had boarded the train in
the belief that they were going to
Steubenville, Ohio. The negroes said
they had been recruited by a labor
agent, who had promised to meet the
train at Leesburg with their tickets.
When the labor agent falied to show up
at Leesburg the conductor, put the ne
groes off.
The failure of the labor agent to put
in an appearance is believed to have
been due to an intense agitation against
the recruiting of negro labor in this
section. It is believed the publicity
given inis movement frightened of? the
labor agent. Figures given out by rail
road officilas indicate that negroes
have been leaving Albany at the rate
o$ 300 a month for the last four months.
