CLAIM BODIES
RIDDLED AFTER
THEY FELL
Lincolnton, Ga. —Sheriff W S.
Harrison and Deputy Sheriff R. L.
Burgess are being held by the sher
iff of Wilkes county on warrants
chargnig murder in connection with
the deaths Wednesday of Wayne and
Frank Cullars, near here in Lincoln
county.
According to reports of the trage
dy, the two brothers had been in
JLincolnton earlier in the afternoon,
and while under the influence of
whisky had been disorderly. Cases
had been made against them by the
town marshal and they wee to re
turn Thursday morning to answer
the charges before the mayor’s
conrt. Their pistols were left in
Lineolnton, pending the hearing.
They were on their way home in
a car accompanied by W. L. Dozier
and Frank Guillebeau, two Lincoln
ton boys, when the tragedy occurred.
W. L. Doizer has made the follow
ing statement of the occurrence,
which Frank Guillebeau corroborates:
“We, Frank Guillebeau and my
self started home with the Cullars
boys. As we passed Sheriff Harri
son’s house we saw him on the porch,
but thought nothing of it. We were
just this side of Robert Sim’s when
Frank Guillebeau,' who was on the
rear seat of the car, said for me not
to drive too fast. When he said
this 1 was not running fast, and iust
as we started up the grade M. Harri
son who was in his car alone, ran
around our car and threw up his
hand and said: “Halt!” I stopped the
car within a few feet.
“When we stopped, Mr. Harrison
was out of his car and all of us got
out of our car. Frank Cullars ask
ed Mr. Harrison if he wanted to
serch the car, and Mr. Harrison said
no. Frank then asked him if he
wanted to arrest them and Mr Har
rison told them he did not, but that
he had heard that they had been
causing some disturbance in town
and that he came to see about it.
“Just at this, time R. L. Burgess
drove up in his car. The Cullars
boys had had words with Mr. Bur
gess during the afternoon and when
he drove up Frank asked Mr. Har
ison what Burgess was doing there.
Some words followed between Bur
gess and the Cullars boys and Mr.
Harrison pulled his gun and shot
Frank Cullars and when he fell he
turned his gun and shot Wayne Cul
lars three times. He then *'ined
his gun back on Frank and shot him
either once or twice.
“Then Mr. Burgess emptied his
gun into the bodies of the two men,
shooting three times into Wayne’s
body and two into Frank, after they
were on the ground. Both the Cul
lars boys fell at the first shot from
Mr. Harrison’s pistol. I then came
to town for a doctor.”
The reported version of the killing
as stated by Burgess is that he stopp
ed to see what the trouble was be
tween Sheriff. Harrisoa and the
others. He said that when he stopp
ed he was ordered by ‘the Cullars
boys to go on, and that one of the
boys asked Mr. Harrison to make
him go on.
Mr. Harrison stated, he said, that
he had nothing to do with the move
ments of Burgess.
At this time one of the Cullars
boys jumped on him and was beating
him badly, he said, one ,6f them mak
ing a threatening movement toward
Mr. Harrison, with Burgess’ gun,
which had been snatched during the
scrap, and Mr. Harrison then began
shooting. Burgess* face was bursed
and bleeding and he stated that the j
boys hit him.
Wednesday night Sheriff Harrison
surrendered himself to Sheriff Wal
ton, of Wilks county, and went to
Washington.
The tragedy created intense excite*
ment throughout the county and
hundreds came to Lincolriton to learn
what they could of its details.

KENNEDY OFFERS
EUGENICS BILL
Atlanta, Ga. —A bill providing
that before a marriage license is is
sued to men in Georgia they shall
produce a certificate showing them
to be free from social diseases was
intodueed ni the senate by Senator
W. B. Kennedy, of the forty-ninth
district, Friday morning.
Senator Kennedy, who is a prac
ticing physician in privat%, life, de
clared that social diseases were de
cidedly Increasing in the state and
that unless some restrictions are im
posed the situation would reach
alarming proportions soon.
“Every child is • entitled to one
thing in this world,” declared Sen
ator Kennedy, “and that one thing
is health. He may be denied wealth,
or other material things, but he cer
tainly is entitled to a strong, heal
thy body, and this is impagsible
where such diseases prevail among
parents.
“No real healthy man could pos
sibly object to a thorough physical
examination before marriage. He
would welcome such examination so
as to know that he was a fit person
to become a father. It is the dis
eased racked ‘don’t care’ type that
should be prevented from causing
untold misery to be borne by the
childen of tomorrow.”
Stage Burlesque
Capitol Removal
Issue in House
Atlanta, Gal-—A burlesque 1923
edition of the time-honored “capitol
removal” Question was staged in the
house of representatives Friday, this
time with Bibb county’s delegation
urging that it be made clear to the
that its members were not responsi
ble for the outbreak.
The manner in which the removal
issue was revived for a few moments
was caused for a general laugh that
broke the tedium bf the session Fri
da jP.
Last Monday, Miss Bessie Kernp
ton, member from Fulton, announc
ed in the house on behalf of the
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce that
“courtesy cards” granting free ad
mission to movies, ball games, and
other entertainments would be plac
ed on the deks of members Thursday.
Thursday came and passed, but no
“courtesy cards” appeared.
When Friday also brought no re
sults, two house members —Huxford
of Clinch and Hillhouse of Worth—
put their heads together and deter
mined to speed up things.
If Atlanta* wouldn’t “put out”
cards of courtesy, they figured there
was a chance that Macon might.
So they hurriedly drafted a resolu
tion and, throug Speaker Neill ruled
that it was not privileged, the house
voted to allow the clerk to read it.
Its effect was to authorize the speak
er to create a committee to hold
hearings at which any citizens of
Macon, or any civic organization of
that city might present whatever
arguments and reasons they desire
as to why the capitol should be re
moved.
The resolution was not priviledged
and hte house voted not to allow it
to be introduced on Friday. So that
halted the idea for the time being.
However, it was an interesting bit
of foolery and the Atlanta Chamber
of Commerce, Representative Kenip
ton, and anycjne else connected with
the “courtesy cards” in question,
probably will make su/e they are on
hand when the assembly convenes
again on Monday morning.
Incidentally, Representative Fower
and the entire Macon delegation de
clared afterwards that they wanted
it made clear they knew nothing of
the resolution until they heard it
read by the clerk and were ir. no
way responsible sou it.
READ THE ADVERTISEMENTS
IN THE NEWJt.HERALD
and in juvenile organizations, as sug
ge .ted by President Harding. State
legislatures are a.«Ked to enact uni
form laws requiring display of the
flag in and over all schools, parks,
and playgrounds, and over other pub
lic buildings.
The flag is now 1.90 in length to
1 in width, 19 feet long when it is
10 feet wide. The proportions say
the arbiters of beauty Should be 1.67
to 1. The flag is too long for its
width to satisfy the sense of beauty
of those who make beauty their
business.
The general concensus of opinios
seems to be that re -ardless of the
laws of proportion *>,o j n ;^ s

LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, MONDAY, JULY 9, 1923
GOV. AL SMITH
DISCUSSES POOR
MAN’S CHANCE
New York.—Governor Alfred E.
Smith, of New York, declared Tues*
day nigh tby National Democratic
Committeeman Norman E. Mack of
Buffalo to be an avowed candidate
for the presidency, Wednesday dis
cussed the relative chances of a rich
man and a poor man becoming pres
ident, ni a Fourth of July speech at
Tammany hall.
The governor, whose proudest
boast is that he rose from the fish
markets and newsboydom, said:
“If eye a .country was ruled by
the plain people that make it up, it
is the United States of America.
Ours is a land of equal opportunity
and that means that opportunity is
accorded to the rich and poor alike.
“No man of great wealth has ever
been elected president of this coun
try. Sofne of the brightest passages
in our history record the elevation
to high office of men fro humble
surround.ngs.”
Pleading for a return to the prin
ciples of ‘Jeffersonian democracy,”
Governor Smith continued:
t
“In spite of the fact that our gov
ernment is built upon principles that
admit of no discussion, human frail
ties have brought about enemies
within and without. To my mind our
fear, if we are to have one, must
come from the activities of those
within our awn ranks. They are di
vided into two classes, the ignorant
and the willful. Education and its
progress will take care of them both.
“They build their hopes of success
on the popular fallacy that there is
in this country a ruling class. No
man or set of men rules this coun
try. That argument is an appeal to
popular passion and prejudice and
the thought, that they desire to plant
is that wealth is a ruling force in
this country. Nothing further from
the truth.”
Business Man’s
Credit Is Helped
By Advertising
Atlanta, Ga.—There is one way
by which a business "men’s credit is
improved, and that is by a policy of
consistent advertising, according to
Atlanta bankers. \
Bank men, it is pointed out l;ere,
believe in advertising, for they know
it pays. Their feeling, therefore, as
one Atlanta bankers indicated is
that when a merchant who is a good
advertiser applies for a loan that a
reasonable amount of goods brought
by him on credit, is likely to be turn
ed over quickly and promptly paid
for, on account of his methods of
keeping his goods constantly before
the public.

.WHAT NEW GOVERNOR
HOPES FOR THE STATE
Some things the new governor
says in his inaugural address:
White there is a pessimistic ssenti
ment in the state, the day of a great
er Georgia is at hand.
The voice of the demagogue,
preaching the doctrine of hate, of
class against class, must be stilled.
There is a dmand for more
economy in goverment affairs—for
100 per cent, of value f<?r all ex
penditures.
The civic clubs are sounding a note
of optimism and progress.
Women are goiven a warm wel
come to legislative halls.
Compares the condition of the
state with the time of reconstruction,
bidding everyone be brave and to
work for the progress of the state.
Undue and unfavorable notoriety
given the state by “yellow journals”
is deplored.
Georgia’s need is less display of
the state’s deficiencies and more
study of the basic cause.
Georgia needs opinion moul
Georgia needs public opinion
moulded toward a respect for law.
Equitable tax reform is needed.
The ad valorem tax system has brok
en down. \
A program of progress'should be
followed by the legislature for in
such a program lies hope of the
state.
Georgia is lagging behind other
states in constructive progress and
its n«eds sound a challenge to the
best and bravest of her sons.
The need of Georgia is lees greed
and more God. H„

WHIPPING BOS j
SENENCED TO
TWENTY YEARS
Lake City, Fla.—Thomas Walter
Higginbotham was iate Saturday
found guilty of myrder of
Talbert, of North Dakota, in the
second degree, by a jury here. The
Verdict carries a sentence of twenty
years. The jury was out one hour
and twenty minutes.
Higginbotham was sentenced to
twenty yegrs imprisonment. He
was released on SIO,OOO bond perk
ing hearing of appeal.
There was on demonstration in
the courtroom when the verdict was
reported.
The former convict whipping boss
was accused of having caused the
death of Talbert as the result of a
beating administered while the North
Dakotan was serving a term in the
Putman Lumber Company convict
leased caigp. The trial consumed
thirteen days.
The death of Talbert finally re
sulted in an investigation of the
whole convict leasing system and its
abolishment by the Florida legisla
ture. That body also prohibited
corporal punishment. Before the
Florida legislature convened, the
senate of North Dakota adopted a
memorial asking the Florida law
makers to investigate the death of
Tabert.
The state charged that Tabert
died as the result of a whipping ad
ministered by Higginbotham while
the North Dakotan was serving a
sentence in the convict leased camp
of the Putman Lumber Company
where the latter was employed as a
whipping boss.
Higginbotham declared that he
administered only the regulation
number of lashes, ten, to Ttlbert,
which had nothing to do with his
death.

OUT ON BAIL
Anniston, Ala.—Mrs. Evelyn’Sue
Rickner, who, the state alleges, shot
and killed her husband, Lieutenant
James C. Rickner, was admitted to
bail in the sum of $3,000 late Sat
urday afternoon, following prelimi
nary hearing before Judge J. B. Hol
man, Jr., of the Calhoun county in
ferior court.
Mrs. Rickner collapsed shortly be
fore Judge Holman rendered his ver
dict, and was not in the court room
to hear a short demonstration of ap
proval which met the court’s an
nouncement. Friends declared that
bond would be made immediately.
Unusual interest was attached to
the case, due to the "popularity of the
slain officer, and the youth and
beauty of his wife. The courtroom
was crowded today, a large number
of uniforms representing military
friends of the couple.
No arguments from either &de
were heard and while the defense
placed no witnesses upon the stand
this afternoon, it is understood their
plea at the October term of the Cal
houn county court when Ms. Rick
ner will proTbably face trial, will be
that the defendant was suffering
from temporary insanity at the time
she fired the shot which killed *her
husband. It is also claimed that
Rickner refused to support his wife
and was about to leave with another
woman.
