the Associated Pre^s.)- —Preliminary
hearing for N. C. Jewett, grand
dragon of the Ku Klux Klan for the
'realm of Oklahoma, charged with
riot, set for today in justice court,
was postponed upon agreement of
counsel until tomorrow.
A similar delay of one day also
was announced in the hearing of an
Injunction action brought by Gov
ernor J. C. Walton to prevent the
state election board from certifying ,
returns from last Tuesday’s special
election to the secretary of state.
The postponement of the injuncioo
case was made necessary by a mur
der, trial in progrer= before Judge
Tom G. Chambers, Sr., in district
court, before whom the governor’s
action was brought.
J. K. Wright, county attorney,
who is prosecuting the murder case,
obtained agreement of Jewett’s attor
neys to delay his hearing. C. Whit
lock and L. L. Redhe, also charged
with riot, will be given preliminary
hearings tomorrow jointly with Jew
ett. ,
He is the first officer of the secret
organization to fall into the net
spread by Governor J. C, Walton for
those responsible for mob violence
and masked depredations in the
State.
Grand Dragon Jewett was arrested
September 21, on the strength of ev
idence adduced bj' a military court
held under the governor's decree of
martial law.
E. R. Merriam, the victim, signed
the complaint agains* the grand
dragon. Since his arrest,,Jewett has
been at liberty 'on SI,OOO bond. He
pleaded not guilty to the charge
’’Members of the legislature, mean
wliile, today are completing arrange
ments for a special session Thursday
which will bring to a climax Gover
nor Walton's Avar on the Ku Klux

Bested in his attempt to prevent
the legislators from meeting to con
s der impeachment charges against
lii'm in connection with his official
conduct, the executive ordered the
special session Thursday, just a
week ahead of the date the lawmak
ers on their own initiative had
culled an assembly.
Indications are that the legislature
first will proceed with an Impeach
ment investigation, despite the.gov
ernor’s call for the session which
specified that an exhaustive inquiry
Into the Ku Klux Klan be instituted.

Cattle Dipping Law
Enforcement Presented
As Hurting Business
QUITAIAN, Ga., Oct. 9.—The en
forcement of the cattle dipping law
has struck another snag.
When the range riders began to
tighten down on the owners of
horses and mules and stop them at
the Florida state line, the merchants
of Quitman became Pouch interested
to know just what effect this would
have upon trade in the city. Much
of the business enjoyed from Quit
man comes from across the state
line, only a few miles to the south.
Saturday a number of merchants
complained to City Manager Fluker
that Quitman trade was being jeop
ardized by the strict enforcement of
the state and federal dipping law
and the city manager has taken the
matter up with Dr. J. W. Wood,
who is in charge of the dipping cam
paign in Brooks county. Dr. Wood
will set out the position of the state
and federal government in a letter to
the city manager, in which he will
take the position, it is understood,
that horses and mules coming from
Madison and Jefferson and Leon
counties in Florida, which are tick
infested counties, bring cattle ticks
into Brooks county even faster than
local cgttle can be made immune by
dipping every fourteen days. Un
less the ticks are kept in Florida,
in the opinion of Dr. Wood, the dip
ping campaign in Brooks county’will
never be concluded.

■■'S WIFE
ffl MUSHIER WIN;
WILL IS SET ASIDE
Mrs. Nannie Woodward Renfroe,
! daughter, an.l Mrs. Violet Woodward,
wife, of the late Mr. James.G. Wood
ward, four times mayor of Atlanta,
won their fight to break the will of
Mr. Woodward Tuesday afternoon
when Thomas H. Jeffries, ordinary of
Fulton county, ordered the last will
and testament of the former mayor
set aside.
The ordinary’s action followed a
hearing on caveats fi'ed by Mrs. Ren
froe and Mrs. Woodward after it
had been learned that Mrs. Renfroe
had been cut off without a penny
Land Mrs. Woodward received only
the homestead and $75 a month, the
remainder of the estate having' been
bequeathed to the Union Printers'
home, Colorado Springs, Cal.
Ordinary Jeffries did not state
what the next step in the proceed
ings would be, but it was understood
that he would immediately initiate
plans for administration of the es f
tate. His decision, it was said, would
probably give Mrs. Renfroe half the
estate, since she and her step-mother,
said to be the only heirs at law, are
each entitled to an equal share.
Mr. Woodward's widow, under the
will, was bequeathed the home at
351 East Hunter street, together with
the household goods therein, and a
monthly allowance of $75. Setting
aside the will also nullifies her leg
acy. )
The bequest of the remainder of
the estate, valued at between $50,000
and $60,000, to the Union Printers’
Home at Colorado Springs, Col., was
also nullified.
At the hearing testimony was in
troduced to show that Mr. Wood
ward was mentally unbalanced dur
ing thejjatter years of his life, par
ticularly in regard to his attitude to
ward his daughtre and her husband,
J. N. Re’ • m.
Early in the hearing, Attorney
James L. Key, representing Mrs.
Renfroe,»placed in evidence a note
alleged to have been written by Mr.
Woodward 1o his daughter, which
inclosed a newspaper clipping with
the headline, “Arsenic Murder Laid
to Women.” ,
On a sheet of paper inclosed with
the clipping was the sentence pur
porting to be in Mr. Woodward’s
handwriting: “It was in fear of such
things as this that I stopped eating'
at home.”
Says He Feared Daughter
Testimony was then introduced to
show that for some time prior to his
second marriage to Mrs. Violet Wood
ward, he had not taken any of his
meals at his home for fear of his
daughter.
Mrs. Renfroe's testimony was di
rected in support of her contention
that her father was not mentally
responsible for some time jirior to
his death.
“He accused me of practically
everything except actual murder,”
she asserted, “and the things he
never could have said or done if he
had not been mentally deranged.”
Mr. Woodward’s will, understood
I to have been written in its entirety
jby Ills own hand, cut his daughter
off without a penny, with the sole
proviso that if she should ever be in
actual want she should receive SSO
a month from his estate.
Attorney James L. Key was coun
sel for Mrs. Renfroe, Attorney
George Spence was counsel for Mrs.
Violet Woodward and Attorney John
Hynds appeared for the Fourth Na
' tional bank, named as executor of
the estate.

KILLS CATARRH
SERMS IK THREE
MIWTES
Wonderful French Discovery Suc
ceeds After Everything Else
Has Failed.
’ . i
Thousands who have suffered from
catarrh, head noises, difficult breathing,
hawking, etc., and who have tried every
thing without success, say that the fa
mous new scientific discovery, Lavex, rid
them of their troubles in a few days.
Many say they had no further trouble
; after the first three minutes of treatment.
Lavex is a French discovery, easily used
I by simply inhaling a pleasant, harmless
powder, which tends to kill the catarrh
germs almost instantly. Lavex reaches
every part of the breathing passages,
which cannot be done with ordinary
salves, ointments, sprays, etc. The re
sults are astonishing in their rapidity.
For instance, Rev. J. F. Stephens, a
widely-known preacher, says, "I had suf
fered from catarrh for years and my
doctor said there was no cure. Had to
quit preaching as a Methodist Minister.
After using Lavex I can sleep and eat
well, voice is clear, can walk or run or
work as well as I could twenty years
ago and 1 am now sixty-nine.”
So confident is W. R. Smith, 366
i Lavex Bldg., Kansas City, Mo., American
distributor of Lavex, that it will rid you
of all your catarrh troubles, in no time
' at all. that he generously offers to send
i a treatment on free trial. No obligation
' no cost, comes to you in plain wrapper,
i postpaid. If it cures you, you can re
' pay the favor by telling your friends,
if not. the loss is Mr. Smith’s, therefore
I you should accept this liberal offer to
, day by simply sending your name and
; address t« Mr. Smith and prove you can
' he rid of catarrh.—(Advertisement.)
