Lawyer George W. Wood Swears
Out Six Warrants for Williams
Brothers After Fight.
MACON, Aug. #.—Attorney George
W. Wood this afternoon swore out
six warrants against two Deputy
Sheriffs, Deland Williams and Don
Williams, brothers. He charges the
former with pointing a pistol at him,
with carrying a concealed weapon,
with assault and battery and with
using opprobious language. Don Wil
liams is charged with assault and
battery and the use of opprobrious
language.
Mr. Wood claims that the two
deputies attacked him unexpectedly,
severely beat him with their fists
and cursed him and that when he
sought to resist them Deland Wil
liams pulled a pistol and pointed it.
Deland Williams admits striking
Attorney Wood, but denies that his
brother took part in the fight. He
also denies displaying the pistol.
The trouble started in the City
Court when Deputy Deland Williams
reproved Attorney Wood for t< Utng
a negro, who had been acquitted t£iat
he could depart. The deputy contend
ed that the negro could not ve un
til the Sheriff* officers said so.
Attorney Wood declared that no
Deputy Sheriff could give him or
ders, and a lively exchange of words
followed. The fight took place across
the street from the courthouse.
Mr. Wood is vice president of the
Macon liar Association.

At Last Pay Voucher
Body Had Held Up Account, as It
Questioned Grand Jury’s
Authority.
MACON, Aug. 9. The County Com
missioners to-day decided to pay the
hill of $1,500 made by R. W. Jemlson
a public accountant, for auditing the
bonks of three of the county offle s.
pursuant to a contract with the
Grand Jury.
For m%.r«* than six weeks the Com
missioners have refused to pay this
bill, notwithstanding that it was or
dered by two grand Juries and ap
proved by Judge Mathews. They took
the position that grand juries had no
legal right to make contracts, and es
pecially contracts that would bind the
Commissioners.
After a long discussion this morn
ing It was finally decided, on a di
vided vote, to pay the voucher. Jem-
lson claimed to have worked 100 days
on the books. The Commissioners
contended that he only worked 15
days.

AUGUSTA, Aug. 9.—Secretary
Frank E. Beane, of the Georgia-Caro-
lina Fair Association, announces that
the fall fair at Augusta will be un
dertaken this year on a far more ex
tensive scale than ever before. The
fair will b gin November 5 and con
tinue through November 15.
It is expected that at least six of
the farmers’ clubs of the Savannah
River Valley will have exhibits. Those
announcing their intention of exhib
iting are the Richmond County Agri
cultural Society, the Beech Island
Club, the Schultz Hill Club, the Meri
wether Club, the (’lark's Hill Agricul
tural Club, the Aiken Club, and there
will also be others. The clubs that
win are awarded cash prizes of such
amounts as to make competing worth
while, and there is always lively com
petition.
The poultry exhibit by the Augusta
Poultry Association Is expected to be
a big feature, as usual, and more
than 2,000 birds are to be on exhibi
tion. From all parts of this section
and from a distance birds will be sent
here for display, and handsome prizes
are given the winners.
The live stock feature, which was
such a big attraction at the last fair,
will again be splendid. Dast year
was the first year that a great deal
of attention was paid to the live stock
display, and it improved the fair fully
50 per cent.
There will be cows, horses, hogs,
goats and sheep of the best quality
here.
There will be a better midway than
ever before and Secretary Beane has
already booked a great number of
high class shows. He says that this
year the Midway will be located be
tween the main fair building and the
live stock building, which is far more
convenient than the arrangement in
the past. The brass band this year
is to be a splendid one. It Is a band
which was organized just prior to the
Jamestown Exposition, and it played
there and has played every week
since that time.

Triennial Shake-up in Augusta Dis
courages Efficient Men, Says
Commissioner.
AUGUSTA, Aug. 9.—Nisbet Wingfield,
Commissioner of Public Works at Au
gusta. has come out in favor of the civil
service plan for the employees of the
public works department.
Now that the policemen and firemen
are to be removed from politics, Mr.
Wingfield thinks that the city should go
a step further and throw the mant e
of protection over efficient employees of
th*- waterworks and other departments.
The public works department receives
a shake-up triennially, just as every
other department in the city, for a new
Mayor gels in eevry three years and off
go the heads of those who happened to
vote against him.
Mr. Wingfield argues that Augusta
wants just as competent men to look
after tiie water supply as to patrol her
streets or tight her fires.

Augusta W.C.T.U, Is
On Trail of Saloons
Police Committee of City Council
Refuses to Discuss Report
It Has Prepared.
AUGl’STA, Aug. 9.—Secrecy is the
word with regard to the action of the
police commitee here yesterday on the
matter of enforcing the prohibition law.
The City Council referred the matter
of closing the saloons to the police com
mittee. This committee had a meet
ing and the members refuse to discuss
their report, although they admit having
prepared one
A few weeks ago Mrs. Mary Harris
Armor and a large number of members
of the Augusta W. C. T. U. appeared
before the council and pleaded for the
closing of the saloons. Nothing was
done at this meeting and at a meeting
held Monday night council was asked
what it would do about the matter. A
letter was rend at that time from Mrs.
A. M. Verdery, president of the local
W. C. T. U., asking council to state in
plain terms what action it would take.
The matter was referred to the police
committee.
Council has granted licenses to nearly
100 saloons at $500 each, and although
there was no expressed agreement, still
it was tacitly understood that they
were to be allowed to sell liquor without
molestation.
Heirs of Seaborn Jones Win Long
Fight for Large Tract of Land
in Jenkins County.
AUGUSTA. Aug. 9.—By a recent
decision of the Supreme Court of
Georgia the Chew family, prominent
people of Eastern Georgia, have re
covered 1,200 acres of rich farming
land left by their grandfather, the
late Seaborn A. Jones, and worth
approximately $40,000. The land is
located in Jenkins County, near Mll-
len.
Before the Civil War Seaborn A.
Jones was one of the wealthiest
in this section and was a foremost
citizen of Burke County and Waynes
boro. Jones married a Northern wo
man and from this union there were
two boys and two girls. When he
made his will shortly after the Civil
War his heart was heavy and his
hatred of the North was intense be
cause of the defeat of the Southern
arms.
Forbids Northern Residence.
lie stipulated that if his wife should
carry his children, into the North to
live, or if they remained on a visit
above Mason and Dixon’s line for
more than three months at a time,
the mother should no longer be guar
dian for the children.
One of the daughters, Mary, was
wooed and won by William H. Chew.
The property of the late Seaborn A.
Jones was divided equally among his
four children and Mrs. Chew decided
that she wanted her husband as her
trustee instead of the trustee her
father had provided under the will.
Chew received an order from the
court to be trustee for his wife. To
the Chews were born three children,
Benjamin A., Hull S. and Ruth.
The property had been left by Sea
born Jones to certain trustees for his
daughters, which they were to hold
In trust for their use during their
lives and at their deaths to their
children in fee simple.
William H. Chew sold the land to
a Baltimore concern that in turn sold
it to W. O. Wadley and thus it re
mained until the death of Mrs. Mary
Jones Chew in 1906, when action was
begun by her children to recover the
land which their grandfather had in
tended for them to have.
Sale Declared Illegal.
The suit has been in the* courts
ever since. It was won by the Chew
heirs in the Superior Court of Jep-
kins County and has been won in the
Supreme Court.
Wadley simply purchased land
from William H. Chew which Chew
had no right to sell and the sale was
declared to be illegal despite the fact
that Judge Gibson, in chambers at
Augusta in March, 1873, passed an
order authorizing the sale.
The courts have held that William
H. Chew has the right to sell only a
life Interest in the estate owned by
his wife and he was not entitled to
sell the realty because it was left
to the mother in trust to Jpe held for
her children and to be awarded to
them in fee simple.
The case created much interest in
this section. Pierce Brothers, W. K.
Miller and Judge Horace M. Holder
represented the Chew heirs, and
Judge A. D. Miller, of Macon, repre
sented Wadley.
AUGUSTA, Aug. 9.—Beginning the
firsrt of next January the policemen
and firemen of Augusta will be under
the control of a civil service board.
Just now the department is under
fire because of the many burglaries
in the city and also because of the
refusal of the head of the depart
ment to enforce the prohibition law.
The civil service board will take the
place of the present commission. All
of the present members of the force
will be retained without examination,
but there will be an examination in
case of promotion to sergeant’s or
lieutenant’s places.
Under the civil service plan the
men are prohibited from taking an
active part in politics. It is speci
fically stated in the act. however,
that no policeman or fireman shall
be appointed, reduced or removed be
cause of his political beliefs.
City Council on the first Monday in
September next will choose a board
of civil service commissioners, each
to have a term of five years. There
will be five members of the board.
The examination will be purely on
a competitive basis, the applicants
shall be between 21 and 36 years of
age and the competitors shall be ad
mitted to the department in the order
of their standing in the examina
tions.

Richmond County to
Quit Building Roads
Policy Henceforth Will Be to Keep
Highways Already Constructed
in Better Shape.
AUGUSTA, Aug. 9.—Richmond County
is to quit building roads. This was de
cided at a meeting of the board of
commissioners last week. This county
now has hundreds of miles of the finest
roads in Georgia and there are many
more miles of roads built by the county
that are not so good.
The policy of the commissioners of
roads and revenues in the future will be
to have the roads already built better
cared for and stop building more.
Roads go out of Augusta into prartl-
caPy every section of the county except
one. down the Savannah River valley

BIBB TO HAVE 1,000
ACRES PLANTED IN
ALFALFA
MACON. Aug. 9.—More than 1.000
acres in Bibb County will be planted
in alfalfa and clover this fall as the
result of a winter crop campaign
promoted by W. G. Mlddlebrooks, tne
county farm demonstrator, and the
Bibb County Agricultural Society. At
a meeting this morning of the socie
ty enough farmers pledged themselvc*
to insure the cultivation of at least
the thousand acres in the winter feed

which convention Benjamin J. Sy- j
mons, of Savannah, will be elected 1
State councilor

W. Shappard, the present State coun
cilor, who is also a member of one
of the Savannah councils. That two
Savannah members of the order

ization.

ery two years, will convene in Odd
Fellows’ Hall.
At this convention it is thought that
John Stofer. of Savannah, will be in
dorsed for the position of national
