Hon. Clifford Walker I
the Logical Candidate
for Governor of Georgia
Ocllla Star's Representative Sentiment
In Regard to the Coming Election
The Star favors the candidacy of
Mr. Walker. Many of the people of
rrwin county have heard Mr. Walker
speak and will bear us out in the
statement that he is a most brilliant
speaker, and his public acta arid ut¬
terances are such as do not have to
be explained or defended. It appears
to us that he has the lead in the race.
At least he has many supporters in
Irwin county. He made good as At¬
torney General, and filled the office
to the satisfaction of the people of
the state. We believe that they in
tend Star. to call him higher up.—Ocilla

posed of the Counties of Houston,
Taylor and Crawford.

In the event I am elected, I prom¬
ise to represent to the best of my
ability, all of the citizens of Houston
County, regardless of location.
I shall advocate all measures that
will aid our grand old county in con¬

TO THE VOTERS OF HOUSTON.
I beg to announce my candidacy
for the Legislature subject to the
Democratic Primary.
The issue before the people of
Houston is the creation of a New
County, and I am seeking your votes
upon this issue.
A native of this county and yield¬
vinced ing to none that in my loyalty, I am con¬
the time has come—if
both sections should progress as they
should—that a division should be
made.
Therefore 1 solicit your careful
and unprejudiced consideration of
my candidacy, and trust that you
will see fit to honor me with your

TO THE VOTERS OF HOUSTON
COUNTY
I hereby announce myself a can¬
didate for the Legislature subject
to the democratic primary. I consci¬
entiously believe that thetime has
come for a division of Houston Coun
ty. Our people are the same but in¬
terests in some respects are differ¬
ent. The county is divided and there
can he no growth commensurate
with her resources until the ques¬
tion of a new county is settled. “It
is a house divided against itself’’,
and I ask the voters of Houston
County to carefully consider whether
it is not best to divide and let each
section of the county take the lines
of development which are suitable
their products and commercial
In asking your support on the is¬
of a division of the county I am
that it’s natural for the peo¬
of the western side of Houston
want a new county, and at the
time it is legitimate for those
the eastern side to oppose it.
I hope the fight will be
that of gentlemen and friends and
not enemies.
Respectfully,

21 Murder Cases Awaiting Trial
Macon.—There are twenty-one mur¬
der cases pending in Bibb county at
the present time, it being the largest
number of cases of that kind ever
known to be awaiting trial at one time
in this county. At the beginning of
the April term of court there were
nineteen murder cases pending, but
four of them were disposed of in one
form or another. Since then, however,
there has been another "crime wave,”
during which there have been six more
killings. The latest capital cases de¬
veloped are those of C. G. Creason,
the blind organ grinder, who shot and
killed his wife; Mrs. Maud Hewell,
who is charged with killing her in¬
fant child; Minnie Lee Prater, a ne¬
gro woman, who is charged with drown¬
ing a four-year-old negro boy in the
Ocmulgee river, and Will Oliver, a
negro, who is charged with the kill¬
ing of another negro man. Two oth¬
er warrants are out in cases where
the defendants have not been arrest¬
ed and the names of those implicated
are being withheld.
Restaurant Wrecked In Fight
Macon.—A restaurant operated by
W. T. Glenn on Poplar street was
wrecked and two of the participants,
in a free-for-all fight, were taken to
the hospital here recently. Knives,
crockery, glassware and chairs were
used as weapons in the fight and eight
ceiling fans, a number of tables and
other equipment were destroyed in the
melee. The trouble started when J.
K. Hayes, the manager, informed three
or four men who had been eating in
the restaurant, that they could not go
into the kitchen. One of them drew
a knife on Hayes, and when Louis
Cranford stepped between them he
received a cut in the head. Walter
Byrd also came to Hayes’ aid and
wielded a chair. Others who partici¬
pated in the fight were B. Raines, pro
proprietor of a barber shop: Henry
Watts of Jones county, and J. J. Sim¬
mons. a barber. Raines and Cranford
were taken to the hospital, but they
are not seriously hurt, it is said.
Swims River Twice Trying To Escape
Athens.—Atfer swiming the river
twice in an effort to elude officers of
the law and bloodhounds, “Whitey”
White, a young convict serving sen¬
tence on the Clark county gang, has

daily task of swinging a pick. “Whitey”
—who lives in Madison county—recent¬
ly became homesick and decided to
go home for a vacation; and when he
was sent for a bucket of water by one
of the officers he failed to return. Af¬
ter a short time, pursuit was started,
and “Whitey” was chased to the river
banks, where the trail was lost, but
picked up again on the opposite side.
Shooting Ends Poker Game
Griffin.—Ben F. Miller, single, was
shot five times and killedby John
Penley, married man. Miller leaves a
mother and two brothers. Penley was
arrested immediately after the shoot
ing, and at an inquest held a short
while afterwards was bound over tc
the grand jury for investigation and
sent to jail. Both men were armed
and it is said the difficulty started ovei
a p 0 k e r game which had been in prog
reS s during the night.

Sumter counties chamber of com
merce. Joseph Perkins, secretary ol
the chamber of commerce, will ac¬
company the committee, as will also
George 0. Marshall, county farm dem¬
onstration agent, who will assist the
visitors in inspecting a number of fine
farms in this vicinity. The itinerary
of the party includes a complete tour
of Sumter county, the entire day be¬
ing devoted to hard work, and almost
utterly devoid of entertainment fea¬
tures. At the conclusion of their in¬
spection tour, the visitors will visit
Myrtle Spinge, seven miles out of
Amerlcus, where they will enjoy an
hour in the pool. Gov. Hugh Dorsey
has been invited to join the Arkan
sas govemuor and other visitors in
their tour here.
Atlanta Tenders Armory Quarters
Atlanta.—Several rooms on the sec¬
ond floor of the city auditorium have
been offered as a gathering place and
recreation center for enlisted men of
Atlanta camps, following the publica¬
tion of an article, emphasizing the ap¬
parent lack of public service men in
Atlanta. The offer was made through
Councilman R. A. Gordon of the
Fourth ward, chairman of the audito¬
rium committee. Ofifcers at the camps
received many inquiries concerning
the situation, the queries indicating a
deep desire on the part of Atlantans
to do their full share in caring for
the soldiers who make up the city's'
present military population. Uhose in¬
terested are of the opinion that At¬
lanta has been in ignorance of the true
situation and that the only need was
apprisal of the condition.
25 Shots Bags 500 Birds
Macon.—After streams of water, ro¬
man candles, army .searchlights and
sulphur fumes had failed to drive
away the thousands of gourd martins
that had taken up their abode in the
big magonlia trees on Second street,
and had been making life almost un¬
bearable for the residents of that
neighborhood, the city health depart¬
ment finaly hit on a plant that proved
successful. Securing a number of
sawed-off shotguns. City Health Offi¬
cer Margerum and a number of assist¬
ants fired into the trees and 25 shots
brought 500 dead birds to the ground.
It has been estimateiP that there were
50,000 birds roosting in the trees each
night, and the sight was one that
brought people from all over the city
to witness. Efforts to dislodge the
birds had been made for four or five
nights without success, until the shot¬
guns were brought into play as a last
resort.
Colored Preacher Put In Jail
Macon.—A negro parson, known as
Daney Outlaw, was arrested here and
is charged with signing bogus checks
to the amount of two thousand dol
lars and securing $1,000 from mail or¬
der houses on the checks. The negro's
real name is said to be Daniel Ed¬
wards. He had been sentenced to jail
in Kite, but escaped by sawing the
bare. He was traced to Macon by
H. W. Perkins, deputy marshal of Au¬
gusta. According to the testimony
bought out at the preliminary hearing
the negro headed a group of negroes
who defrauded mail order houses in
New York and Chicago. Orders to
these houses were sent from Kite.

ed, bogus checks accompanying the
orders. Edwards admitted his guilt,
and was committed to the Richmond
county Jail in default of a $2,000 bond.

ing 1,700 pounds of sugar and a large
quantity of groceries belonging to J.
M. Rainwater, of Roswell, Ga,, which
was stolen from the corner of East
Harris and Ivy streets, was recovered
by City Detectives Powers and Whit¬
ley on Atlanta avenue. When found
the sugar and all of the groceries had
disappeared, but the thief left the
five cases of empty cans in the truck.
The engine of the truck and the body
.were uninjured, and the gasoline tank
was practical'- full, giving rise to the
suspicion that after stealing the truck
it was driven to some spot and hur¬
riedly unloaded, then taken to the
place where found for the purpose of
throwing the officers off the trail.
Thomas E. Watson Will Oppose Smith
Atlanta.—Thomas E. Watson, for¬
mer congressman from Georgia and

pose United States Senator Hoke

ed. but whom his friends generally as¬
sert will be in the race.

record of shipping the first sweet po¬
tatoes of the crop of 1920 in Georgia.
These potatoes were shipped from Bos
ton and were grown by C. K. Phil¬
lips of that town. W. T. Madre, of
