MUCH BOO^E FOUND
IN OFFICE OF MAYOR
SHERIFF TUCKER AT OClLLA
RAIDS OFFICE OF MAYOR WIL-
COX AND MAKES A BIG HAUL
OF WHISKY
Ocilla, Sept. 6.—Not'in the history
of Ocilla has so much unusual excite
ment been created as Was yesterday
morning when the private office of
G. S. Wilcox, mayor of the city, was
raided and thirty-eight quarts and 137
pints of whisky was found and confis
cated by Sheriff W. A. Tucker.
The sheriff was waiting for a war
rant to make the search and thought
things were working well, but In some
way the news got out and a confed
erate came to the office and began
moving the liquor, not thinking that
he wa.| being watched. As soon as
he made his way out the back win
dow he found himself looking • upon
one of the deputies, who relieved him
of the case he had \ under his arm.
Taking that as evidence they needed
no warrant. The deputy called to the
sheriff across the street and the raid
was made, with the above results.
No statement has been made by the
mayor, but.It is understood his friends
claim a “frame up” figures In the case.
es are made good the withdrawal of
the designated route might be expect
ed at any time.
The meeting was attended by a
large representation from counties all
along the eastern division of the Dix
.ie Highway and by hundreds of local
people. The meeting was held 1n the
auditorium of the Georgia Normal h
Industrial college, and after the meet
ing an elaborate luncheon and enter
tainment was tendered jointly by the
Milledgeville club, the Baldwin County
club and the Milledgeville Automobile
club and thq ladles of the city. The
meeting was presided over by Mayor
Miller S. Bell, of MUledgeyiUe.

war is told in the 'most graphic and
forceful manuer possible by the “War
on Three Fronts” pictures to be shown
at the Star Theatre Saturday.
These films were taken by Capt. F.
E. Kleinsehmidt, who was an Alaskan
expl:rer before he became a war cor
respondent carrying a movie apparatus
into the centrifugal centers of death
on three tronts—the Russian, the Ser
bian and the Italian. For two years
lie and bis instrument defied the Grim
Reaper'with odds so overwhelming in
favor of the latter that the miracle of
ids preservation confronts you in the
record of the bullet and shrapnel
cars with which he is covered.
In tho making of these films Capt.
Ucinschmidt stood where shrapnel
xplodetl near enough to deafen him,
3 r flew through tho air, the target for
1 hundred anti-aircraft guns; or sped
hrotigii the water on Trail launches,
pursued by aeroplanes and warships.
To a degree, perhaps never attained
■lofcre these pictures are of the very
assence of the horrible reality cf war.
No other war pictures ever shown
were worthy of comparison with these
vivid chronicles of death and destruc-
ion. Capt, Kleinsehmidt. and his
camera have written a more graphic
history of the great war than books
can evet- give us. It is not only a
privileye to be aide to see the result
of hi? two years of daring service,
’out it is the duty of every American
who has tho interest of his country at
heart to see these pictures and learn
he lessen they impart.
Coming Tuesday—Kitty Gordon in
“Tho Wonderful Adventuress.”
Monday, the Colonial presents the
distinguished American artiste, Miss
husband Mrs. Jones, with her only
