MILLEDGEVILLE, GA., FRIDAY, JULY 23. 1909. $1.03 Per Annum STATE OF GEORGIA HILL MAKE Prison Commission Plans Radical GEORGIA RAILROAD IS Changes In Allairs al Slale Pen!- j iiinnniimn DDflDFOTV tenllary And Reformatory. , ImrKUYINu rKUrLKI! A tuberculosis hospital tor the state ^ penitentiary, a division building, for the purpose of separating the blacks and whites at the reformatory, improv ed | farming methods and everything possible to raise the standard of the ^ great penal institution of the state will be done by the prison commission when the inspection is over.

Evans is a member cf the pris on commission of Georgia and one of j the mod active and influential men on the board. He takes great interest in the work and is in favor of advancing the standard of the penitentiary and states that everybody now recongnizie that it pays to do things well. The fact that the separation of the white and black children at the reformatory is coming sustains the contention of The News, under its present management, that such should be done. The establish ment of a tuberculosis hospital at the penitentiary; will also be a modern idea and a thing very much needed. The prison commission and the special com mittee from the Senate and Legislature will be here this week. In keeping with work in progress a 1 along the line of the Georgia railroad that corporation is making some need ed improvements at the depot here. A new Diazza is being constructed, gravel is being put down around the building and much dusl and dirt will be e'iminat- ed. The course is commended by all es pecially in view of the fact that Mil- ledgcville is makingrapid strides in gen eral advancement and a better looking depot was neeJed on the Georgia road.

Mnny Petty Robberies Are Menace to Town For several months past it seems that a'systematic series of small rob beries have proven a menace to the city and in several instances small sums of money, valuables und other property have been stolen. The latest of these occurred lust week when a valuable diamond ring, watch, several pieces of gold money and other pieces of jewelry were stolen from Mrs. An nie Harris on South Wayne St., the total loss aggregating over $300.

N. & t College is Besieged by Applicants Before the catalogue of the Ceorgiu Normal & Industrial College was off tho press the institution had received over 703 application for admission for the colViing term. The facilities at the college, however, will prohibit the man agement from admitting more than the numV.r enrolled Last year. It is ex pected that fully 1 ,C0I) girls wiil apply for a place before the season closes, and this means that over 400 will be exclude i because tho state does not provide room. The fact that the college was more thin filled before the catalogue was is sued shows that the institution is held in h'gh esteem over the whole state of Georgia.

A bullet, presumably intended for an other man, almost instantly killed James Aldtvd here Saturday night while ho was out in front of his place of business and half a block away from where the trouble which resulted in his death was in progress. Policeman Jack Roberts was also .iliirhtly wounded and William Croley, one of the best known farmers of tho county, is in jail charged with murder by tho verdict of the coroner’s jury. According to the best informa tion obtainable it seems the farmer had been having some trouble early in the ev.q; and had bee i arrested, but was afterwards liberated. However, later more difficulties developed and Jesso- Roberts, vho is known here generally, setepped up behind Croley and attempt ed to seize him. It is stated that Croley at tliii juncture pulled hi3 pistol and fired over his lett shoulder presumably at Roberts, hut tho bullet found lodging in the body of Aldred, who was some distance away. Another shot pene trated tho shoulder of Policeman Jack Roberts, wh > rushed up at this point. Before anything elso happened Croley was arrested and immediately placed in jail. At the hearing before Coroner W. S. Scott SuuJuy the' jury tendered a verJict of murder. The traged occurred at 10:30 o’clock and shortly aftpr 11 o’clock Aldred was dead, the funeral occurring Sunday af ternoon. He leaves a wife and five child ren and MOn lay morning confrtb'uUons amounting to over $300 were tendered the family. Policeman Roberts is up and will soon be on duty again.
