A- Coleinan. the wealthy planter, who, together with his son, l .I. Coleman, and a neighbor, Peter Stevens is in the Ben Hill County mil, gt Fitzgerald, cnargea with the murder of seventeen-year-old Leon Melvin. On April H Leon Melvin was shot to death in the roadway near his fa ther’s farm. The next day the tw r o ('olemans and Stevens were arrested. Tlie coroner’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. T.wo of them, Will Finch and Monroe. Robinson, were* arrested, and while in an auto' on route to Rochelle, were taken out, whipped and instructed tprgo back to the i farm and advise, $11 of the other tenants to leave. As a result, not a single hand is now* on rthe Cole man farm, and crops estimated to be worth 425,U00 are going .to : ruin. The foreman of .the; plantation.

Write ‘Atlanta. ±914,’ When You Register Convention Bureau Asks Travelers to Aid in Attempt to Get Shriners Here. 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 i9 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 Cartersville and Marietta something on the thing’s insides slipped its 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 Isie’s machine went "dippy” somehow and undertook to explore a nearby ox-cot- tpn patch, some 0 feet down a steep embankment, end not* worth explor ing. anyway. Three yards of fencing were 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 Held, equally ms uninteresting as th,c cotton patch. This is where tlie Belle tele chau?- feur got mad. It was right at this point that he began saying things. And he gp.Id some things that tan not be printed in a family newspaper. Suspects It’s “Hoodooed.” Among other things, however, he inquired: "What sort of buzz eart. is that thing of yours, anyhow-? Here I have used three hours 1 'good time un dertaking to help you and I haven’t been able even to get to you yet. Is that loose-jointed, crazy-headed, know-kneed, bughouse machine of yours hoodooed?" Cleveland said he was blamed if he 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 2:34 a. in. 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 his engagement at 9 o’clock he found a wire telling him that the other par,- ty to it would not reach Atlanta until next Friday. ert Brazeal, Harry Bussell. H. J.

L Heeter as superintend ent of the Pittsburg lAiblic schools continued to spread to-day.

An unidentified boy striker was run down and killed by a street car in front of the Ralston School to-day during a demonstration. Un the South Side mothers stood on the street-corners and urged their children to strike and cheered other children who made demonstrations against the superintendent. WOMAN RAPS SOCIETY.
