CARRIED OUT THREAT
TO HORSEWHIP JUDGE
WAYCROSS, GA., Sept. 26.—James
Hendry, who left Baxley, in Appling
county, with the announced intention
of horsewhipping Judge T. A. Parker, of
the Waycross circuit, has not yet car

nothing more than a mere rumor that
he has been near Waycross.
Hendry is mad because Judge Parker
sentenced him in Pierce superior court
in Blackshear three or four years ago
and since then he has never gotten over
it. There are three others he wants to
see, after which, he says, he will be
ready to die.
Hendry is wanted in Emanuel coun
ty and a reward has been offered for
his capture. He is believed to be in
Pierce county now, but no direct trace
of him has been obtained.

ALABAMA GOVERNOR
UNDER FIRE IN FIGHT
AGAINST TAX RAISE
MONTGOMERY, ALA., Sept. 26.—A
partial analysis of the disposition of Gov
ernor O'Neal's contingent fund will be
presented by a committee of business men
at a mass meeting of Montgomery tax
payers, to be held in this city tonight to
protest against citations issued by the
state tax commissioner, supported by’ the
executive, raising property assessment in
this county from 6 mills to 10 mills.
The statement as to the governor's
contingent fund promises to be a sensa
tional feature of the program, and Is likely
to develop into a personal attack on the
chief executive. Members of the com
mittee stated Wednesday that the fig
ures have not been obtained for an at
tack on the governor but to show the tax
payers the extravagance of the state, but
they are willing to let the chips fall
where they may.
