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 $25,000 are going'to ruin. The foreman of the plantation, Enoch Me Elmore, has been arrested on a warrant charging him with a misdemeanor, and is in the Irwin County jail, at Ocilla. i '$he defendants so named in Cole- . Witii'p petition are las I follows: Rob- List to the Tale of a Hoodoo Auto! *!*••!• v • v • v v • v v • T Tried to Explore Cotton Patch v • *i* T® T v • v v#v 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. ert Brazeal. Harry Bussell, H. J.
