Thousands Hare Kidney Trouble
and Don’t Know it.
How To Find Out.
Fill a bottle or common glass with your
water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a
sediment or set
tling indicates an

tion of the kid

your linen it is
evidence of kid
ney trouble; too
frequent, desire to
pass it or pain in
. . . , the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and blad
der are out of order.

OFFICE OVEB DOW LAW BANK,
FORT VALLEY. : GEORGIA
Last Monday afternoon it was re
ported at Perry that Mr. Cope Wins
low had been shot and killed by a
negro near Port Valley. As soon
thereafter as possible, Sheriff Coop
er went to Port Valley in his buggy
to investigate tl\e tragedy. Later it
was-reported by telephone that the
negro had been captured.
The story of the dreadful affair is
told by a correspondent of the Tele
graph as follows:
“Port Valley, Ga., June 8.—One
of the most tragic and deeply la
men ted deaths which has occurred
in this community for years was
that of Mr. W. Cope Winslow, who
was shot and almost instantly killed
this afternoon about 2 o’oloek by a
negro named Banjo Peavy.
“The shooting occurred not far
from the farm owned by the mother
of the deceased, about two and a
half miles from this place. No one
was present at the time of the
shooting save one or two other ne
gro men, and one of these brought
the report to town.
“Prom the best information ob
tainable, the negro owed Air. Wins
low a small amount of money, and
he was endeavoring to get him to
work it out on his farm. The negro
became very impudent, and the
shooting resulted from this dispute.
The negro who brought the report
to town said that Mr. Winslow alao
had a pistol and shot at Peavy twice
as he was running away. The negro
shot at Mr. Winslow only once, the
ball striking him in the forehead,
just between the eyes, and before
the neighbors could move him into
the house he was dead.
“The negro succeeded in making
his escape temporarily, going to
ward Everett Station. As soon as
the report of the shooting and the
escape of the negro was circulated,
considerable excitement prevailed,
and a large number of men armed
-themselves and went in search of
the assassin. Most of' the party
went on horseback, and they at once
organized themselves into parties of
two, and began a systematic and
rapid search of the territory in the
direction the negro had gone.
“After they had been out about
three hours he was located in a
,patch of dense woods, and soon cap
tured. He was brought to town
and turned over to Sheriff Cooper,
who had come up through ohe coun
try from Perry as soon as he was no
tified of the killing.
“So great was the indignation of
the people, however, that about 8:30
o’clock a large crowd of armed citi
zens gathered around the officers
deputized to guard the prisoner,
overpowered them and took him in
charge. They marched out toward
the Marshadville road, swung him
up to a tree ii> Branham’s grove and
practically riddled his body with
bullets. Probably 300 shots were
fired, and, il being in the corporate
limits of the town, created great
consternation and excftement among
the men, as well as uneasiness and
fear among the women.
“The lynching was deeply deplor
ed by the less excited and older
heads. This was one of the most
dastardly crimes ever committed in
this community. The negro was a
desperate character and had gotten
into several difficulties during the
past few years.
“Mr. Winslow was a young man,
about 27 years old, and was the
main dependence of his widowed
mother and three single sisters. He
was the onlyson of the late Mr. W.
C. Winslow, who was one of the
most prominent attorney's in this
section of the state. His son had
developed into a successful business
man, and had won the respect and
esteem of this entire community,
not only by his big-heartedness, but
by his constant attention and devo
tion to his widowed mother and sis
ters, who had learned to depend
upon him entirely.”
Coronor Schilling held an inquest
Tuesday, and the verdict was that
the negro came to his death from
gun shot wounds at the hands of
persons unknown to the jury.
The statement above that the ne
gro was taken from guards depu
tized by Sheriff Cooper is incorrect.
The negro ww killed while Sheriff
Cooper was out of town in search of
the negro. The explanation of the
Telegratih correspondent appears at
the t '—"vt column.
“Your correspondent desires to
correct an - error which he made in
reporting yesterday’s actions, which
might do an injustice to Houston
county’s efficient and vigilant sher
iff, Maj, M. L. Cooper, During the
excitement last night your corres
pondent was informed • that the ne
gro had been turned over to Sheriff'
Cooper, and the mob had captured
him while under his charge. It de
velops that the negro was never
turned over to the sheriff at all. The
sheriff left town in company with a
deputy about two hours before it
was known the negro had been cap
tured, and did not get back until
after the lynohing had taken plaoe.
The negro was in charge of the city
officials at the time the mob captur
ed him,”

The Thursday Afternoon Club was
delightfully entertained June 6fch by
Airs. O. O. Duncan, Jr. Her cozy
little home was made bright and at
tractive by a profusion of cut flow

by Mrs. Pate of Hawkinsville. Miss
Clifford Powers served us a refresh

ner.

On the 26 th of Ma;
Rogers entertained the spinsters at
a most delightful “Rainbow” party,
in honor of her charming guest, Miss
Matthews of Fort Valley.
The house was prettily dooorated
with cut flowers, while the beautiful
colored oards forming the “rainbow”
added beauty to the scene.
Dainty refreshments, consisting of
cream and cake, were served us, af
ter which Miss Amelia presented
eaoh spinster with a souvenir card
of California, gifts from our dear ab
sent sister who has been away so
long.
It was indeed thoughtful of her
to remember her less fortunate sis
ters at home in this way, whose eyes
will probably never feast upon the
beauties of this great “wonderland.”
The curtains of night were hover
ing fast when we said good-bye to
our hostess and her charming friend,
all declaring that they had never
spent a more delightful afternoon.
