J. K. JACKSON
DROPS DEAD ON
CITY STREET
Hon. John K. Jackson, prominent
planter and member of the Gwinnett
board of county commissioners, died
suddenly on the streets of Lawrence
villc Monday morning at 9:80
o’clock.
Mr. Jackson spent some time in
the office of Mr. T. A. Smith talking
to Messrs. Claud Craig and Bob
Withworth and as he arose to leave
became somewhat strangled. The
gentlemen • present noticed it but
thought that perhaps his chewing
tobacco was worrying him. Upon
walking through the door he was
noticed to be falling and was caught
in the arms on Messrs. M. D. Irwin
and T. A. Smith, and was gently
placed on the ground where he died
with no struggle and without speak
ing.'

ton arrived in less than two minutes
but life had already passed away.
The body was removed to the
undertaking establishment of F. Q.

yet been announced. He was sixty
years old.
John K. Jackson was one of
Gwinnett best citizens and death
could not have removed truer gentle
man or finer friend. He had lived
in Hog Mountain district, near
Prospect church, for many years and
had made a splendid success of his
farming interests beside taking an
active interest in the affairs of the
county. Mr. Jackson was serving
his fourth year as a member of the
board of Gwinnett commissioners
and his cool headed advice, often
sought by many, will likewise be
missed. He spent some time last
fall and again early this year in an
Atlanta sanitarium and was thought
to have recovered from his lingering
illness. Due to this illness he did
not announce for re-election antil
about two- weeks before the primary
when, sSI. friends,
he consented to run again. He was
defeated in this race by thirteen
votes.
Mr. Jackson was a son of Mr. Wil
liam James Jackson, for many years
superintendent of the state sanitar
ium at Milledgeville. His sister,
Mrs. Stringer, lives now in Miiledge.

William Gibbs JJcAdoo, who
showed he was still yery much in
‘•he race for the Democratic presi
dential nomination. Ay % an over
whelming defeat of Swiator Under
wood in the Geor#i*j preferential
Jiimgry.
Washington.—No matter to what
his opponents attribute the causes,
the sweeping victory'-, of William
Gibbs McAdoo over Senator Oscar
Underwobd in the Georgia primaries
has greatly revived hopes of his sup
porters and added a perceptable im
petus to his campaign;for the Demo
cratic Presidential nomnaton.
Until mentioned in eonection with
the oil investigation, it was freely
admitted by all of the party
that the candidate who, beat the for
mer Secretary of Treasury would
unquestionably receive the nomina
tion. This sentiment was pronounced
even among his avowed enemies, at
the meeting of the Democratic Na
tional Committeemen here in Janu
ary, and while there were those who
openly boasted he would never mus
ter the necessary two-thirds majori
ty, the candidate himself and all of
his associates seemed sublimely con
fident of ultimate success.
Then came announcement hy E.
L. Doheny that Mr. McAdoo w «* one
of his counsel, the, hutried trip of
the canddate to Washington to dis
claim any knpwlsdge of the alleged
oil irregularities, liis .severing of con
nections with Defeeny and the hur
ried gathering of all McAileo leaders
at Chicago, where a “clean bill of
health” was given, the candidate and
he was importuned to continue in
the race.
While in no way curtailing their
campaign plans, from the time of
Mr. McAdoo’s appearance before
the Senate Committee until the re
sults of the Georgia primaries were
announced, the candidate and his
managers “rested on their oars’ as
were, but now that they feel a thor
ough vindication has been attained
a spirited fight in all sections of the
country may be looked for from now
until the conventioh in June.
Many McAdoo admirers, especial
ly in the South, feel that the death
of President Wilson, his father-in
law, has helped his candidacy im
measurably, and in all recent speech
es the candidate himself has referred
to the dead executive at every avail
able opportunity.
HEIRLESS ESTATE WILL
GO TO CHATHAM COUNTY
Savvannah, —A search for heirs
having proven unsuccessful after
months of efforts, arrangements are
being made to escheat the estate of
Mrs. Adelaide B. Chaplin, who died
several years ago. Under the law
the estate, which consists of $9,129.-
17 cash, will go to the school fund
of Chatham county.
Judge Alex R. Mac Donnell, who
was appointed as administrator by
the ordinary in 1919, presented an
order to Judge Meldrim in the superi
or court for signature as- the first
step necessary for the escheatment
proceedings.
It is the first case of its kind in
Chatham in many years.
GO WEST, YOUNG MAN!
AND JUST TAKE A ROPE
IN PLACE OF A MOTOR
Los Angles, Cal.—Half way
across the continent, from Fort
Scott, Kansas, to Los Angles, in an
auto without an engine—that’s the
unique record of Alex Packakrd.
Packard wanted to come west
but the worst way. Jle bad- a 1907
Ford, but the motor was missing. He
brought a stout tow line and shoved
his flivver out into the. road.
A passing motorist kindly ordered
to tow him to the first garage. Reach
ing a repair shop, .Packard thanked
his benefactor, unhooked the rope—
.and shoved the Ford down' the road
a ways, past the garage. Another
tourist came along, towed him to
the next shop—and so on, to Los
Angeles.
“Wonderful scenery, fine trip and
not a bit of engine trouble,” Pack
ard reported.
OFFICER DIES
FROM WOUND:
SLAYER RIDDLED
Atlanta, Ga.—Albert S. Wells,
chief of police of Woodbury, Ga.
died early Friday morning at l)avis-
Fischer sanitorium from a bullet
wound inflicted Thursday afternoon
by a negro boy named “Bootsy”
Thrash, whom he had caught lifling
a cash drawer in the Poope’s Bank,
of Woodbury.
Mr. Wells was brought to the hos
pital late Thursday and surgeons
immediately operated to remove the
bullet from his head ,but his condi
tion was desperate, and he lapsed
into unconsciousness, and death re
sulted soon after daybreak.
Chief Wells was shot with his own
pistol. Officers of the bank for
some days had been missing small
sums of money from cash drawers
and suspicion fell on the negro,
Thrash, who did odd jobs about the
bank. Thursday noon the chief
secreted himslef in the bank when
the place closed while the employes
were out at lunch. He said he saw
Thrash enter by a rear door, using
a pass key, and him while
he took money from a cash drawer.
The chief then arrested the boy
and said he was preparing to take
him to jail when he put down his
pistol to answer the telephone. The
negro snatched the wepon and fired
at the officer, the bullete entering
his head.
Citizens, hearing the shot, sur
rounded the bank and captured
Thrash, placing him in the local jail,
but when Sheriff J. P. Jarrell arrived
from Greenville soon after, the jail
door had been forced open and the
negro was missing. His bullet-rid
dled body was found afterward on
the outskirts of Woodbury. Sheriff
Jarrell on Friday was reported in
dispatches from Woodbury as con.
ducting an investigation.
Mr. Well’s body was taken to
Woodbury Friday afternoon for fu
neral and interment. *,

TWICE-A-WEEK
|DR. SOULE
ADDRESSES
KIWANIS MEET
The largest meeting of the local
Kiwanis club in point of numbers a 3
well as interest and enthusiasm was
held Thursday evening at the club
rooms with Dr. Andrew M. Souie,
president of the State College of Ag
riculture, as the principal speaker.
A number of progressive farmers
and leading citizens had been invited
to the meeting as guests of the <;lub,
and the large dining room was com
fortably filled.
The opening hymn, "America,” was
sung, after which the invocation wan
led by Rev. L. E. Smith.
President F. Q. Summon called the
meeting to order, and -John Kelley
welcomed the visitors with a few ap
propriate remarks.
County Agent A. G. Robison was
asked to introduce the speaker of the
evening, and he paid Dr. Soule a high
compliment in presenting him to the
assemblage.
I)r. Soule's Fine Address.
Dr. Soule launched at once into the
discussion of agricultural 'and rural
problems, treating it from different
angles. He told of what the agricul
tural college is doing for the young
men and women of Georgia, 12,000
having gone through the institution
as evangels, with a present enrollment
of 2,0C0. He said 10,000 should be
there.
The college was started seventeen
years ago and in all that length of
time only one pupil has been asked to
leave. This is a remarkable record.
Dr. Soule spoke for one hour and a
half and held his hearers throughout,
frequenly punctuating his remarks
with appropriate anecdotes.
He spoke on the program outlined
for Gwinnett county, and when he
would strike such items as dairying,
chickens, hogs, legumes, he would tell
what Georgia produced under each
head and what was imported, telling
us that we had sold our birthright
for a mess of pottage, at least in par:.
He spoke of lha vast potentialities
of the state and the need d# education
to develop our resources. Ry devel
oping our agricultural interests the
industrial end will largely take care
of itself. He believed in better roads,
better schools and more manufac
tories, but these cannot flourish un
less the soil is made to produce the
feed and raw material needed to fos
ter such enterprises.
Dr. Soule said he was glad of the
opportunity to serve his fellow man
and his chief joy was in the knowl
edge that he was helping the yeusg,.
on whom the future depends, to carry
forward this stupendous task.
Mr. J. W. Morton, of Athens, spoke
briefly on tne co-operative marketing
plan, and Mr. J. O. Martin, school su
pervisor, plead for better schools and!
advocated the consolidation of small
schools as a good beginning.
The Woman’s Missionary Society of
the First Baptist church served an ex
cellent fish luncheon with accessories.
The many visitors were loud in their
praise of the success of the meeting,
and the closing prayer was offered by
Rev. Marvin Franklin.
