COnON BRINGS 15
CENTS IN AUGUSTA;
PHOSPERITYISSEEN
AUGUSTA, Ga., Sept. 4.—With
cotton selling at 18 cents a pound
here Friday, business men and farm
ers were forecasting a new era of
prosperity for this entire section.
Augusta has been drunk on cotton
news for a week or more, with 18-
cent cotton coming as the climax.
Rev. J. C. Jarroll, pastor of the
leading Methodist church here, was
an interested and excited visitor on
the floor of the local cotton ex
change Friday. Pointing dramati
cally at the new cotton figures on
the blackboard. Dr. Jarrell declared
that the advance in cotton meant
that many circuit riders in the south
who had little hope of receiving any
salary this year would now be paid
at least enough to make them com
fortable for the winter. ‘‘lt means
a living for them,” the minister
said.
Thomas Barrett, senior member
of the firm of Barrett & Co., and
former mayor, has just returned
from a tour of inspection over the
cotton belt. Mr. Barrett states that
the advance in price is certain to
continue and that it will more than
offset the small number of bales
made. According to Mr. Barrett,
this advance in cotton means the
financial rehabilitation of the entire
south. He very frankly states that
there is a cotton famine and that
nothing can keep the price from con
tinuing upward.
The firm of Barrett & Co. now
state that they have four or five
buyers for every bale of cotton that
is put on the market. As has al
ways been the rule, the demand in
creases as the price advances, and
"it is holding good in this instance.
S. H. Still, prominent farmer and
business man of Blackville, S. C.,
was on the cotton exchange floor
Friday, and he made the prediction
that even a greater cotton famine
than that of 1921 •will exist next
year, and as a result cotton will sell
again for 40 cents a pound. He
also believes that as a result of the
-farmer of the south turning his at
'tention to live stock and grain in
stead of to cotton, the price of ba
con will be 10 cents a pound in 1922
and that wheat will sell for $1 a
bushel.
Good times are ahead for the
farmers of the south, especially in
Georgia and South Carolina, accord
’ ing to Mr. Still, and there is every
reason for the tiller of the soil to be
optimistic at this time.
The slump in cotton during the
past year very near proved the com
plete financial ruin of many cotton
men in Augusta, this class of busi
ness suffering to a greater extent
than any other here, and for that
reason the advance in prices is
evoking the greatest outbursts of
enthusiasm ever witnessed on Au
gusta’s cotton row.

SECRET OF BOOZE MAKER
OPEN SECRET TO UNCLE SAM
Evidence Seized From Rum-
Runners and Bootleggers
Analyzed by Chemists Un
der Chief
NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—Secrets of
the “hootch” maker who manufac
tures synthetic whisky or gin are
as an open book to the government
chemists who test the products of
violators ot the Volstead law.
Evidence seized from rum-runners
and bootleggers is brought to them
for examination. How the chemical
tests are conducted was disclosed
today by R. A. Edson, chief chem
ist of the government laboratory in
the federal building. Th< walls of
h.’s office are lined with shelves fill
ed with bottles of every kind and
description containing every kind of
beverage forbidden by the Volstead
act.
A fringe of stills seized in raids
decorates the top of the shelves and
there is a big pile of them in a
corner. In the past year more than
8,000 samples of liquor, good, bad
and indifferent, have been tested
here and the results produced later
in the federal courts.
The first thing to be done by
the chemists when a sample of sus
pected liquor is brought in is to
test it for alcohol. Usually the pro
hibition agents try to get at least
half a pint of whisky and a pint
of wine for the chemists to work
on. But occasionally an agent comes
in with a small bottle of liquid
which, he explains, is a drink of
whisky which he bought at a bar
and had to hold in his mouth until
he could spit it out into a bottle
without being observed by the bar
keeper. And that is tested too.
When tne sample is large enough
the hydrometer is used to find the
amount of alcohol present. The hy
drometer is a thermometer-like in
strument of glass with the specific
gravities marked on it. It is float
ed in the sample and the markings
read. Alconol being lighter than
water the hydrometer sinxs farther
in a mixture of alcohol and water
than in plain water. The amount
of alcohol can thus be accurately
determined by reading the mark
ings
Small samples of booze are test
ed by means of the pycnometer. A
measured quantity of the suspected
liquid is weighed and its weight
compared with that of an equal
quantity of water. By means of a
few computations the amount of al
cohol can easily be found.
For rapid work on beer and wme
with small percentages of alcohol
the ebulliometer is used. The evi
dence is heated and the boiling
point learned. Water boils at 100
degrees centigrade and alcohol at
a much lower temperature. A mix
ture of alcohol and water boils at
a lower temperature than witter
and thus the chemists can rapidly
calculate the amount of alcohol.
After the test for alcohol has
been comnleted in the case of whis
kv the color of the sample is test
ed. Whisky that has been held in
bond for some time has a color of
its own due to the inside of the
whisky barrels being charred by
fire before the whisky is put in. The
rranufacturing bootlegger making an
artificial whisky of grain alcohol
and water uses caramel made of
burnt suear to color his product.
The Marsh reaction shows if the
color of the whisky sample is gen
uine or artificial. A quantity of
amyl alcohol slightly, acidified with
phosphoric acid is mixed with the
liquid to be tested. Amyl alcohol
being lighter than ethyl alcohol, is
ordinary grain alcohol is called by
the chemists, rises to the top of
the mixture. If the whisky is genu
ine the color will mix with the
amyl alcohol and rise to the top
of the mixture. If the color is due
to caramel it will stay in the bot
ton of the mixture. Test is made
for wood alcohol if there is any
suspicion of its presence.
Mr. Edson said that 80 per cent
of the liquor seized by the prohi
bition agents and brought to the
laboratory to be tested is synthet.c
whisky made of alcohol and water
and a little color or just plain
"hootch.” ~ , .. „
“We can usually tell whether the
stuff is genuine or not by
smelling of it,” he explained. The
synthetic stuff has a distinct smell
of raw alcohol which is not pres
ent in genuine whisky no matter
how bad it may be.
“Lately we have tested a num
ber of samples of synthetic gin. It
is made of alcohol and water with
a little oil of juniper to give the
characteristic gin flavor. But tne
juniper flavor is ranker than genu
ine gin and I don’t think any one
gets much pleasure from drmkmg
such stuff. The bootleggers usually
put in too much of the oil of juni-
P e “There is some artificial wine
seized bv the prohibition agents. It
is usual'ly made from alcohol and
water flavored with fruit juice of
some kind. The home-made wine
that is submitted for test is very
poor stuff. Usually there has been
insufficient fermentation of the
grapes after they are pressed and
sometimes putrefaction has started.
Such wine will contain about 7 to
9 per cent of alcohol.
“Most whiskies contain 40 to 50
per cent alcohol. Scotch whisky has
less alcohol than the other whiskies.
We have found small quantities o±
creosote in some of the artificial
Scotch whiskies that have been
TAX CISEIS WON
BI
JACKSON, Ga., Sept. 3.—The ar
bitration of the Butts county tax
returns for the year 1921, an in
crease of 30 per cent being de
manded by State Tax Commissioner
H. J. Fullbright, resulted in a
vicitory for the county. The case
was heard li/n Jackson Thursday,
the board of arbitrators consisting
of S. A. Allen, of Decatur, select
ed by Mr. Fullbright; Judge E. J.
Reagan, of McDonough, selected by
the Butts county board of tax
equalizers, and the third man, B.
S. Willingham, of Forsyth, being,
chosen by the two members.
The tax digest in Butts county
this year showed a decrease of
$239,375. The 1920 digest was $2,-
889,680, and the digest for 1921
was $2,650,305. If the 30 per cent
had been added it would have
placed an additional $510,061 on
the books this year, amounting at
the present state, county and school
tax levy to approximately $15,000.
During the hearing the arbitrat
ors went thoroughly into the tax
returns for the past two or three
years. Several witnesses were also
examined, property owners giving
evidence as to the value of prop
erty under present conditions. The
hearing consumed the entire day, a
decision being announced late
Thursday afternoon. It was stated
that Mr. Allen favored the increase
of 30 per cent, while Messrs. Rea
gan and Willingham voted to al
low the returns to stand at the
present figure.
It is said that this is the first
arbitration ever won by a county.
Out of a number of cases arbi
trated the past year all of them
resulted in victories for the state.
Seven counties in Georgia are re
quired by State Tax Commissioner
Fullbright to make higher returns
this year. The counties include
Butts. Henry, Murray, Screven,
Turner, Troup and Crisp.

Hail Storm Relieves
New York From Heat
NEW YORK. Sept. 3. —Showers of
hail stones that covered the side
walks of Jamaica with slush, marked
a brief electric storm that swept
over New York early tonight and
relieved the hot spell in which the
city was sweltered.
Lightning struck and killed Ha

waters of Rockaway Beach late to
day, while she was hurrying out to
join her mother in a search for
shelter when the storm broke.
The bolt struck in the midst of
a throng of bathers. Several men
were temporarily stunned. More
than 100.000 persons were in the surf
during the day.
seized. The creosote is put in to
imitate the peat-smoke flavor of the
genuine article.
“The making of home-made grape
juice is dangerous from the stand
point of the Volstead act unless
precautions are taken to prevent
fermentation and the consequent pro
duction of alcohol. The best way
is to sterilize the grapes by pour
ing hot water over them or by boil
ing the juice. There is a wild yeaJt
present on the grapes and floating
in the air at grape-picking time
and it is the wild yeast that starts
the fermentation.”
The government chemists have
even tested Chinese wine or ngkapy
to determine for the government
if it was suitable for human con
sumption. A large quantity of the
wine consigned to Chinese mer
chants here was held up by the
customs officials on the ground that
it smelled so bad it was not fit
for human consumption. The gov
ernment’s chemists found the wine
was made from rice spirits and a
decoction of herbs. They said it
was all right for Chinese medicinal
purposes so it was allowed to be
brought In.
CONGRESSMAN’S ESCAPADE
IS WASHINGTON’S BEST JOKE
Manuel Herrick, of Oklaho
ma, Conducts a “Beauty
Contest” While He Tries to
Outlaw One by Newspaper
BY LEE LEWIS
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1921.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3. —When
Manuel Herrick, the best known
young Lochinvar in congress, came
out of the west a few months ago. it
was with the intention of starting
something. Manuel Herrick can now
look back on his brief career as a
legislator with proud satisfaction,
for he has started something—oh,
yes, indeed!
For one thing he has the unprece
dented distinction of having been the
first and only member of either
house, to date, to start a beauty con-;
test in the nation’s capital with him
self as the prize. His starting of a
crusade against newspaper beauty
contests, while incidentally running
one of his own, and his numerous es
capades, involving interviews with
feminine detectives, narrow escapes
from running afoul of irate fathers
and husbands, and difficulties with
his former landlady, have enlivened
the drab days of the recess season
in Washington.
Often times the pages of that pro
saic publication, the Congressional
directory, give some very good in
side stuff on the hopes, fears and
ambitions of budding statesmen.
Some years ago there appeared, in
the biographical section of that book
a most fulsome account of the ca
reer of a man who, evidently, shone
by no reflected light, but with a
rare effulgence of his own. The
screed covered approximately two
full pages, and recounted at great
length the distinguished man’s strug
gles and triumphs until he had at
tained that pinnacle of fame, a seat
in congress. The directory, however,
sheds little light upon Lochinvar
Herrick, who has been discreet in
giving his "life” for the public print
er. About all one learns from it is
that he was born in 1876, lives in
that part of Oklahoma known as the
Cherokee strip, raises Herrick’s
Giant Yellow corn and Copper-faced
Hereford cattle (both duly capital
ized) and represents the eighth Ok
lahoma district.
How He Won
Herrick obtained the Republican
nomination in his district through a
somewhat unusual combination of
circumstances, the most important
of which was the death of his prin
cipal competitor at a time when Her
rick’s chances were most enhanced
thereby. As the Republican nomi
nee, he was duly elected, and event
ually arrived in Washington to take
up his duties. Hi® personality im
pressed itself with his colleagues to
such an extent, he informed the
home folks in a letter from Wash
ington, that they wanted to make
him speaker, but he thought Gillett
was doing a pretty good job and
that it would be right hard on him
to throw him out practically without
notice. More-over, it was his idea
that since he was relatively inexpe
rienced, he would probably be able
fill the chair better some time hence.
This letter—couched in a style
highly reminiscent of a noted "bush
leaguer” of literature —incidentally
berated Washington as a city "of no
modern connivance,” and paid Her
rick’s .-espects to his colleagues by
a comment to the effect that he
would stand out among them like a
tall oak among a lot of mushrooms,
or something of that sort. He went
into some rather intimate details as
to the cont of room and board in
Washington and held that eastern
women didn’t come up at all to those
of his home state.
When the speakership episode had
become history, Manuel Herrick
lapsed for a little while into rela
tive obscurity, but an epidemic of
beauty contests in Washington,
sponsored by newspapers and social
organizations, brought him again to
view. He fathered a bill to make
beauty contests illegal, alleging that
girls were already vain enough and
that such contests lured them to thq
stage and to the clutches of immoral
multi-millionaires and other ene
mies of the sanctity of the home.
Within 24 hours after his bill had
achieved publicity, it developed that
he had been running a beauty con
test of his own. He wrote 49 let
ters to attractive Washington girls,
entries in one of the contests which
had just been concluded, informing
informing them that he was “the
lonesomest man in town” and offer
ing them “the love of a man whose
love will be so great that if that
was the one and only price to pur
chase your soul’s salvation he would
ransom your soul out of hell at the
price of his own.”
Some of these letters had been
turned over to the postoffice depart
ment by the recipients, it developed,
and postal inspectors questioned the
Oklahoma congressman about them.
He said he had written the letters
to get evidence in behalf of his bill;
he wanted to show that the girls
were ready to fall for anything. The
publicity he gained in the press in
spired the representative to issue a
statement which read in part thus:
“Let the slur writers rave, the fact
remains and cant be gotten away
from Ist. that herrick has been in
Washington since February 25th and
in all that time He has done no run
ning after Wimen in the sence the
term is commonly Understood to
Mean 2.nd he employs no women
clearks in his office but on the con
trary has a full force of Men clearks;
3.rd he has about a peck of replies
from the siley and gidey girls which
they sent in answer to his decoy let
ters that he sent out in order to
geather evidence in behalf of his
bill . . .
“He defies the Social Hyenas,
Moral Reprobates and Moral Lepers
to prove by any evidence worthy of
a moment’s consideration in any
court of record any wheare in the
world that ■he has ever been guilty
of an act of Moral turpitude in his
whole life, so he is willing for the
Moraly Unclean to Howl as long and
as loud as they like it disturbs him
NOT!”
Well Beaten Up
Herrick also asserted that two
pretty Washington young women,
one of whom is married, had come
to his office and signed statements,
apologizing for having turned over
his letters to the postal inspectors,
and that he had given them 25 cents
to buy ice cream and turned them
out of the office. The sequel cam.*
on August 30, when the husband of
the girl and the father of the other
made an attack in force upon his of
fice and Herrick saved himself from
a beating by seeking the intervention
of one of his colleagues. It devel
oped that two women detectives of
the Washington police force had vis
ited his office impersonating the
girls and taken his quarter for ice
cream. Herrick then retained detec
tives of his own.
Herrick has unbounded confidence
in his own abilities, and some of the
letters he has sent to Washington
express the view that within seven
years he is going to be president of
the United States.
But the Oklahoma delegation is
not so keen about his prospects, and
President Harding is said to have
conferred with some Oklahomans as
to what should be done about the
errant congressman.

TARDIEU TALKS OF
NEWJEACE PAET
BY ANDREW TARDIEU
Former Trench High Commissioner
to America.
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1921.)
(Whatever may be the disappointment of
the allies that the United States should
make a separate with Germany, the
fact remains, M. Tardieu says, that the
European powers have pained great
strength against Germany in the fact that
America in her latest treaty adopts the
greater part of Versailles.)
PARIS, Sept. 3. —The most signifi
cant comment on the German-Amer
ican treaty in Europe is the lack of
comment. There has been little or
no comment in the European press
and this is particularly true of the
French papers.
There are two outstanding reasons
for this. The first is the fact that
the text merely declares that the
United States reserves to itse If all
the rights required under such and
such sections of the treaty of Ver
sailes, but rejects the obligations im
posed by other sections. Not twenty
men in Europe are familiar enough
with the Versailles treaty to under
stand what this all means.
A second reason for the silence is
the fact that everybody expected
some such treaty to be made. There
fore the public has paid but little
attention to the incident. Tne opin
ion of those few Frenchmen able to
understand the matter is easily
summed up.
Whether the United States even
tually would negotiate a separate
treaty or ratify the pact of Ver
sailles with reservations, everybody
knew the Washington government
would reject the clauses concerning
the League of Nations nad those pro
viding for an international labor or
ganization. It was also forseeable
that on account of difficulties in the
Pacific and the approach of the
Washington conference that the ar
ticles concerning the various col
onies might not be ratified.
Some Astonishment
But on the other hand there is
pained astonishment here at the
failure of the German-American
treaty to ratify the German boun
dary clauses and the boundaries ot
the new states created by the allied
victory.
The astonishment is all the greater
because there was nothing in the
1920 senate debates at Washington,
nor in the Lodge reservations, which
would lead anyone to expect this.
Furthermore, certain of the claus
es now rejected were among Ameri
ca’s principal war aims. When I
recall the tremendous ovation given
an Alsatian orator at Mount Vernon
on the 14th of July, 1918, demanding
the liberty of his enslaved brothers;
when I remember the enthusiastic
reception all America gave to that
great Czech, Stefanik, and that great
Pole Paderewski, I cannot help re
gretting that the United States to
day refuses to ratify the acts which
liberated Metz, Strasburg, Pragut
and Warsaw.
I would be lacking in respect for
my American friends if I did not
express this fran kopinion, which
our recent guests of the American
legion will not repudiate.
Concerning the reparations, finan
cial and economic clauses the Ger
man-American treaty merely re
enacts the treaty of Versailles, all of
which is a decidedly important and
fortunate fact. America thus pro
claims, like her associates in the
war, Germany’s responsibility and
obligation to repair all damages and
the victors’ rights to compel her to
do so. The pan-Germans had boldly
announced this would not happen.
The solemn denial inflicted upon
them will make the party which
murdered Mathias Erzberger re
flect.
It is notably a good thing that
Washington ratified article 231 of
the treaty of Versailles, which reads:
“The allied and associated govern
ments affirm and Germany accepts
the responsibility of Germany and
her allies for causing ali the loss and
damage to which the allied and as
sociated governments and their na
tionals have been subjects as a con
sequence of the war imposed upon
them by the aggression of Germany
and her allies.”
No Difficulties
It is also a good thing for Euro
pean peace that America adopts Part
XIV of the treaty of Versailles pro
viding for 15 years’ occupation of the
left bank of the Rhine, with contin
ued occupation if certain guarantees
are not made. This notifies Germany
on essential principles that the Unit
ed States thinks today as yesterday.
As for the practical working of
the new treaty, I do not foresee dif
ficulties. From a strictly legal view
point, one might object that the
United States by reserving only the
clauses favorable to her and reject
ing the others, places her associates
in an J i fairly disadvantageous posi
tion. But as none of the parties is
disposed to raise this judicial ques
tion, obviously no dispute will arise.
Moreover, it would be stupid to
under-estimate—and diminish by
vain controversies the strength the
Europear powers train against Ger
many t'.osugh the fact that the Unit
ed States ratify by solemn treaty the
greater part of the pact of Ver
sailles.
Let us hope this act ends yester
day’s differences and that the victors
in the war unitedlj' will turn toward
the future; it is their duty to organ
ize on a basis of justice and peace.
Panama Gets Protest
From U. S. Governor
PANAMA, Sept. 3.—Colonel Jay J.
Morrow, governor of the Canal Zone,
has addressed a note to the Panama
government charging that the pro
jected closing dow’n of all business
on Labor day as an expression of
public mourning for the loss of the
Goto district, on the Costa Rican
frontier, is “anti? American propa
ganda.” Governor Morrow states
that this attitude on the part of the
government might lead to disturb
ances next Monday throughout the
republic.
Proposals that there be erected a
monument commemorating the Cote
affair are described by Governor
Morrow as a “hostile act toward the
United States and one that would
engender ijl-feeling between the two
peoples.” He points out the strong
ties linking Panama and the Unitec
States, and declares it is necessary
to maintain amicable relations. Dis
turbances, he declares, would bring
about the policing of the cities of
Panama and Colon by American
forces.

Prisoners Knock Down
Guard and Escape
DALLAS, Ga., Sept. 3.—The two
youths, Capper and Peacock, who
were recently convicted of assaulting
a taxicab driver and stealing his car
at Columbus, Ga., escaped from the
convict camp heer at 3 o’clock Thurs
day morning, and have not yet been
apprehended.
When the night guard opened the 1
cage door to call the cook early
Thursday morning, the men lunged
through the door, knocked down the
guard, and got away. Guards gave
chase at once with bloodhounds, but
the men had put turpentine on their
shoes, and the dogs could not keep
the trail. Both men were heavily
shackled and wearing stripes. They
were serving four-year sentences.

(Copyright, 1921.)
Will power is neat stuff. Memory
helps you in your business. But no
one gets a million, cash, unless he
has the nerve. We supply It. Our
special course in nerve cultivation
can put an ash collector on Easy
street. Just let us know the kind of
nerve you need, blot your alias on
the dotted ’ine, and the lessons ar
rive by first-class mail. You grad
uate from our nerve course with the
degree of N. B. —Nothing But. Di
plomas to all customers, framed in
brass.
Caesar said it. All gall is divided
into three parts—Nerve, bunk and
salve. Be a success in life! What
good is will power if you haven’t got
the grease to transmit it? What
good is memory if you can recall
the instalments you owe? The cor
rect answer it “No Good,” direct from
the Edison question factories.
Nerve has accomplished the big
things in life. Nerve put the collar
on beer. Nerve put Ponzi beyond
the reach of depositors. If you don’t
think nerve is the spark in the gun
powder, take a look at our richest
bankrupts. Then read these letters
from satisfied clients:
“Before I subscribed to your nerve
lessons I used to peddle lampwicks.
Now I am a traveling salesman for
arc lights. I read a chapter every
night before retiring and making out
my expense account. Nerve does it."
—CLYDE SWUMP, Poison Ivy, Ariz.
“I like your nerve course. Up to
the time I saw your ad. in the
Plumbers’ Pioneer and Gazette I was
a paperhanger. Today I am an in
terior decorator, and they never chal
lenge me when I vote. Nerve did it*.
Life for me now is full of sunshine,
and sunshine makes the wall paper
business good.”—GEOFFREY MOKE,
Fig Newtonvllle, Mass.
“During the spring of 1921 and the
fall of the stock market I was de
pressed. My back ached from loaf
ing and my head buzzed while using
the telephone. A friend who had
just passed the Binet test called my
attention to your course. I mort
gaged the bathtub and subscribed to
the lessons. I haven’t had a poor
day since. Nerve was all that I had
lacked. I got a job at once squeez
ing mail tubes and making the en
velopes come out flat on the brush.
I have been promised a raise in pay
three times, and consider that I have
made good. Without your nerve les
sons I would still be wringing
clothes for my wife. We have taken
down Dewey’s picture in the front
parlor and have hung your diploma
there instead. There hasn’t been a
leak there since.” —CHRISTOPHER
BLIMP, Greater Brooklyn, N. Y.
“I had no spine before I took your
nerve instructions. Now I don’t need
any. Before you came into my life
I had patches on my pants. Today
I wear a cutaway coat that covers up
the patches. I have learned to say
‘No’ when my boy wants ice cream
cones. I have learned to refuse the
flappers on tag day. Please rush six
more lessons before my wife sees a
hat she likes best.”—INGRAHAM

Henry A. Nix, of Grayson, has re
ceived a telegram from the war de
partment saying that the body of
his son, Clyde Yates Nix, had reached
Hoboken, N. Y., and would be sent
from there to Grayson for burial.
Corporal Nix went from this coun

Argonne forest just before the sign
ing of the armistice. The local post
of the American Legion is named for

KO TROUBLE FEAREB
BI JEWEBIFF
JESUP, Ga., Sept. 3.—Sheriff L.
W. Rogers and his deputies were
summoned Friday morning about
11:30 to near McKinnon, in Wayne
county, to arrest two negroes for
an attack upon a white woman who is
a relative of the sheriff, by mar
riage.
A large posse of Jesup citizens
followed the sheriff to make sure
of the arrest of the criminals. Blood
hounds were placed on the trail and
in less than three hours two negroes
were under arrest, safely lodged in
jail at Jesup. They gave their names
as Joe Jordan, aged 36, of Crescent
City, Fla., and th other as James
Harvey, aged 26, of Lima O.
Instead of going to work Friday
morning as usual the two negroes
went to the home of this lady after
her husband had gone to his work
and committed the assault. The
victim has positively identified both
negroes, picking them from a crowd
of six. The two she identified were
the two that the manager of the
farms reported as being about two
hours late getting to work Friday
morning. They were trailed from the
place of the crime to the shanty
where they had ben camping.
Feeling is running high but the
sheriff does not anticipate any trou
ble, as he has already been in touch
with Judge J. P. Highsmith, who
will call a special session of superior
court next week and give the negroes
a trial.
Thomasville Boys
Go 200 Miles Down
River in a Canoe
THOMASVILLE, Ga., Sept. 3
Two Thomasville boys, John Searcy
and Jack Cox, who decided to take
a trip down the Ochlocxnce river in
a canoe, have returned and report a
most successful and enjoyable trip.
They started out on the river just
below Thomasville, and went 209
miles to the mouth in seven days,
which was pretty good going.
They made a camp the banks
every evening. They did not take a
tent along, but swung their ham
mocks from trees and spread mos
quito nets over them. Fortunately
for the boys, they struck a dry spell
and had no rains at all at night.
They didn’t mind a little wetting in
the daytime—they were not encum
bered with enough clothes to be
damaged by a shower. They took
the train back home. aS it would
have been stiff work returning up
stream.
Nobody else here has ever made
this trip, and the boys have been
kept busy telling all about it and
the wild animal, and alligators that
they didn’t meet up with.
Woman Dismissed
On Murder Charge
JESUP, Ga., Sept. 3.—The prelimi
nary trial of Mrs. Maggie Rayburn,
charged with the murder of Clarence
Nail on the night of January 17,
1918, was heard at the Wayne county
courthouse Friday before Judge D.
M. Clark. After taking testimony
for over three hours and the state
had rested, Judge Clark dismissed
the case on the ground that the evi
dence was not sufficient to bind Mrs.
Rayburn over to the superior court.
This makes six different persons
who have been arrested and given
preliminary hearings. All were re
leased, as the evidence was not suf
ficient to bind over.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 3.—<
Maude Moore, now Mrs. W. H.
Stubbs, convicted of the murder of
Leßoy D. Harth, local automobile
salesman, was in Knoxville again
today for the first time since June
19, 1920. At that time Miss Moore
fled the city, jumping her bond just
before the date set for a second
trial. |
The convicted woman was greeted ‘
by a large crowd of friends as her
train pulled into the station here
last night. Among those welcoming
her was her mother.
She was treated as a guest by her
bondsmen, who brought her from
Tacoma. “All the way across the
continent,” declared Robert E. Bor
ing, one of her bondsmen, "people
showed their sympathy for hor. At
Tacoma her cell was lined with
flowers.”
The accused woman talked of her
escape with reticence. She men
tioned, however, A. Z, Satterfield,
former policeman, as having aided
her. She refused to reveal the
names of a group of citizens that
gave her $lO traveling expenses be
fore her escape. Miss Moore was
scheduled to be re-tried today, but
as the criminal court adjourned late
yesterday, it was not believed she .
would be heard again until Novem
