Planter, Held as Slayer, Says
tr.’i t .
Neighbors Have Driven Off All
His Tenants by Threats.
MACON, GA.. April 22—Forty-
seven residents of Wiloox County,
nearly all farmers, have been tempo
rarily^ enjoined from interfering with
or intimidating the rrdppers and ten
ants of W. A. Coleman, the wealthy
planter, who, together with his son,
J J. Coleman, and a neighbor, Peter
Steven*,' is in the'Ben Hill County
jaih at Fitzgeraki, ctiargea with the
murder of seventeen-year-old Leon
Melvin.
On April fi 'Leon Melvin was shot
to death in the roadway near his fa
ther's farm. The next day the two
Colemans and Stevens were arrested.
The cor osier’s jury ordered* them held
for the crime.
Then croppers and tenants on the
Coleman farm received threatening
letters^ advising them to leave the
State within -48 ‘hours. Two of them,
Finch and Monroe Robinson,
v*f£re arfested. and. wl\ile in an auto
en route to Rochelle, were taken out,
shipped and instructed , to go back
t«i thfc /arm and advise all of the
ot|ier tenants to leaye, As a result.
Hot; a single hand is now on the Cole
man farm, and crops estimated to be
worth $25,000 are going'to ruin.
The foreman of the plantation,
Enoch Me Elmore, has been arrested
on a warrant charging him with a
misdemeanor, and is in the Irwin
County jail, at Ocilla. i

Even Its Rescuers Came to Grief
J. B. Cleveland, who sells pianos in
Atlanta, this week offers for sale one
little underslung automobile, name
furnished upon application.
It’s a good little automobile in its
way, but Mr. Cleveland thinks it’s
hoodooed, so far as he is concerned,
and, as he is more or less supersti
tious, he is willing to part with it for
a song, not even necessarily a song
of the Caruso persuasion.
It is this way. Yesterday Mr. Cleve
land and his associate, Harold
Holmes, found it necessary to get from
Cedartown to Atlanta by early Mon
day morning, but they' did not discov
er the necessity until after the last
train had left Cedartown for the day.
In looking around for an automobile
Mr. Cleveland ran across one so at
tractive looking that he bought it.
right off the reel, and started motor
ing to Atlanta.
They used two good hours getting
to Rockmart. for one of the machine’s
lungs got wheezy pretty soon, and on
the way from Rockmart to Carters-
ville the lights went on the blink for
the evening. Between Cartersvllle
and Marietta. something on the
thing's insides slipped it6 trolley, and
between Marietta and Atlanta the
rear axle broke down.
Rescuers Need Rescuing.
Fourteen miles from Atlanta, at
11:17 p. m., Mr. Cleveland phoned to
Atlanta to A. L. Belle Isle, and asked
that a machine be sent out to get him
and his crippled machine into the
city. Belle Isle said, "Sure, Mike."
and started for the spot where the
Cedartown automobile was snugly
stuck in the mud. Within 100 short
yards of the stranded ones Belle Isle s
machine went "dippy" somehow and
undertook to explore a nearby ex-cot
ton patch, some 6 feet down a steep
embankment, and not worth explor
ing. anyway.
Three yards of fencing wtere em
ployed from a neighboring farm, ob
tained surreptitiously, in an effort to
get Belle Isle’s machine back up In
the road. Finally It was pried back
up where it belonged, but refused to
stay put. It immediately ambled down
the other side of the embankment and
into a vacant corn field, equally as
uninteresting as the cotton patch.
This is where the Belle Isle, chauf
feur got mad. It was right at (his
point that he began saying things.
And he said some things that can not
be printed in a family newspaper.
Suspects It’s "Hoodooed.’’
Among other things, however, he
inquired: 'What sort of buzz cart Is
that, thing of yours, anyhow? Here I
have, used three hours' good time un
dertaking to help you and 1 haven't
been able even to get to you yet. Is
tha* loose-jointed. crazy-headed,
know-kneed, bughouse machine of
yours hoodooed?"
Cleveland said he was blamed if
4)e didn’t believe it was. And right
then is when he determined, finally
and positively, to sell It—if he could
find somebody to buy it.
At 2:84 a. m. all hands started
walking to Atlanta—for Cleveland
had to make that Monday morning
engagement. At 5:57 the procession,
minus anything like an automobile,
reported at the Piedmont Hotel.
And when Cleveland reported for
Ilia engagement at 9 o’clock he found
e wire telling him that the other par
ty to it would not reach Atlanta until
next Friday.
