MACON, Aug. 23,—Dock Mathis,
the negro who shot and killed B. L.
Joflsey, near Leesburg several days
ago, died Friday night in the Bibb
County jail at Macon, where he was
brought for safe keeping.
During the shooting Jossey is said
to have shot the negro in the side.
The wound was not serious, but the
negro hid In the woods for severai
days and then laid in a shanty in the
western part of Albany for a number
of hours without receiving medical
attention, blood poisoning set in and
he died.
Officer R. M. Denson, of the Al
bany police force, through whose ef
forts he. and Sheriff Barbre were en
abled to capture Mathis, has receiv
ed the reward of $100 that was of
fered by Sheriff Moreland, of Lee
County, for the capture of the negro.
Officer Denson has not heard from
O A. Wallace and W. B. Bothwell,
who each offered a reward of $100,
but both are satisfied with the ar
rest of the negro and will pay the
reward at the proper time.
The negro was located in the west
ern part of Albany by Officer Den
son, and with the aid of Sheriff Bar
bre he was captured and spirited
through the country to Macon, where
he was left for safe keeping.
THOMASVILLE, Aug. 23.—Em-
I ployee Rogers, of the Southern Bei
| Telephone Company, in this city, hao
an experience with snakes a day or
two ago which was something of a
thriller and which he is not likely
to forget soon.
Rogers was sent out to C. B. Par
sons’ winter home near the country
club to do some work on a broken
telephone wire where he was trapped
under the house by two rattlesnakes.
There was nothing within reach
that could be used for killing a snake
so he had only to wait and see what
would happen. After about a quar
ter of an hour one snake crawled
away and Rogers slipped down and,
grabbing a stick, attacked the one
remaining. He managed to kill it,
but only after a desperate fight, the
snake coiling up and fighting for all it
was worth. It was over five feet
long and a bad looking enemy. The
other could, not be found. ~

noon In Crisp Superior Court for $10,-

Rosa Wood berry, of Atlanta, has no
tified the Thomasville Study Class
that she has given a scholarship in
her school in Atlanta to the class tv*
be awarded by them to any deserv
ing girl that they may select.
This action on the part of Miss
Wood berry is appreciated by the
members of the class, as it will afford
advantages to some deserving girl
here who is not able otherwise t
have them. It is not known yet wh
has been selected for the place, but
the class has the matter under ad
visement.
THOMASVIIjLE, Aug. 2*.—Thom
as County canned vegetables are on
sale here at many of the grocery
store# and are proving very ’popular.
There were more vegetables can
ned in this county this year than was
ever known before, and it has been
found to be quite a profitable busi
ness, tho stores In Thomasville tak
ing them readily and paying the high
est mnrket price for them.
Tomatoes especially have been can
ned in large quantities, and they are
unuaualy fine, better than the best
quality bought heretofore by the mer
chants from wholesale houses in the
North.
The advantage of the home prod
uct is that the tomatoes are gathered
fresh from the vines and canned be
fore they have had time to get old or
damaged.
One farmer, who recently sold
about 2,000 cans, said that he had re
ceived many compliments in regard
to their quality by those who had
used them.

ALBANY, Aug 23.—That about 50
per cent of the cotton in the Albany
territory is from ten to fifteen days
earlier than last year is the estimate
of well-informed cotton men in Al
bany. The fact that Albany has re
ceived several hundred bales already,
not counting that moved direct to the
compress, is considered evidence that
its estimate is approximately correct.
Last year, In addition to making a
poor cotton crop, tin- farmer! ban no
for&ge and have had to buy high
priced feed for eight months. While
the acreage in feed crops this year is
not much greater than it was last,
the farmers have paid more atten
tlon to Its cultivation, therefore mak
ing a better cop. With a bumper cot
ton crop and plenty of feed for their
stock, the farmers expect a season of
prosperity
Columbus Fights
For Better Service
Board of Trade Wants Central of
Georgia to Put on More
Passenger Trains.
COLUMBUS, Aug. 23.—The Colum
bus Board of Trade has inaugurated
a campaign to secure better passen-
gere service over the Central of Geor
gia to points east and west from Co
lumbus, It being claimed that the
service that Is now being given by the
road is not satisfactory.
The Board of Trade Is anxious to
have the Central put on an additional
train or two, or to have trains that
come to the city reach Columbus in
time to allow the people coming to
the city an opportunity to do their
shopping and return home If they
wish in the afternoon of the same
day The-trade organization has the
hacking of practically every business
man In the city.
Runs Small Farm
In Heart of Griffin
COLUMBUS, GA., Aug. 23.—As an
evidence of the depleted condition of
the city treasury of Columbus, it has
been announced by the City Tax As
sessor that all city taxes due Sep
tember 1 and not paid promptly,
steps will be taken at once to collect
same, and to this end will issue exe
cutions against the property in order
to collect.
While the date upon which the
taxes are due is still several days
off, there is already much dissatisfac
tion over the announced intention of
the City Tax Collector. Heretofore
when it was not convenient for prop
erty owners to pay their taxes when
due, they were given more time and
given the privilege of paying interest
at the rate of 7 per cent. It is known
that much dissatisfaction is going to
be felt.
CORDELE, GA., Aug 23—Becom
ing dissatisfied over the tax of $1
per day recently assessed by the City
Council on transient buyers, local cot
ton men have refused to pay the
tax of $25 assessed them.
It is claimed that the tax on tran
slents is so low r that it practically
gives them free rein to come Into the
city and buy up all the cotton. The
local buyers state that they will not
be satisfied until the tax on tran
sients is made the same as was as
sessed them. Some of them paid the
license and then recalled it. Cases
were made against them by the po
lice, and the matter will have to be
settled by Mayor Harder.
The movement of cotton in the Cor-
dele market is getting well under
way, over 500 bales having been gin
ned and warehoused. Within the past
several days the receipts have been
increased rapidly, the farmers making
a strenuous rush to get the crop gath
ered and on the market to take ad
vantage of the very fair prices that
now prevail. Not a bale has been
held for better prices, and most of
the staple is classing as good mid
dling, with the prospects of the
grades nolding up well through all of
teh season.
Five thousand bales above the re
ceipts of last year are expected in the
local market, due altogether to the
increased yield in Crisp County over
last season.
Shaves Himself 50
Years With Cleaver |
Moultrie Pioneer Takes Pride in
Neat Job He Does With Old
Blade Whetted on Boot.
MOULTRIE, • Aug. 23.—Hezekiah
Adams, of this county, has shaved
himself twice a week for 50 years, but
never owned a shaving mug, a razor,
a strop or a hone.
It is Mr. Adams’ boast that he keeps
his instrument used in lieu of a razor,
an old cleaver—twice the size of a
common razor—in the finest trim with
the least trouble of any man in the
country.
He wears old-style boots, and still
has one pair which he purchased 26
years ago. Wishing to shave, Mr. Ad
ams first puts on these boots. He
then smacks the razor substitute back
and forth along the leather leg of the
left one for a minute or two. His
next operation is to moisten his face
with rain water—no perfumed soap
for him—and then he just shaves.

schol tax blU for that town recently
passed by tho Legislature.
The election w ill be held under the
same rules as elections for members

be deferred somew’hat on account of
this election.
RULES FOR PRIZES AT
FAIR DECIDED UPON
THOMASVILLE, Aug 23—The
Directors of the Thomas County
Fair to be held here this fall have
received from the committee in
charge the rules and regulations for
measuring all crops to be exhibited
for premiums and they will be fol
lowed closely.
J. Willis Moore has been named
general director and will measure all
acres and crops free of charge. It
is said all Indications point to the
finest exhibit at this fair that has
been known since it was organized.
THOMAS COUNTY FARMER
EXHIBITS PRIZE CORN EAR
COLUMBUS, Aug. 23.—Taking the
position that Columbus has* suffered
the past few years because her cot
ton receipts have fallen off material
ly, the Columbus Board of Trade has
inaugurated a campaign for the pur
pose of bringing more cotton to this
city. Last year an effort was mad
to stem the tide of cotton going else
where by placing buyers on th
streets, and while it had some effect
it did not counteract all the damag<
that has been done. An effort will be
put forth to make the cotton mark
one of the moat attractive in the
State.

pastor of the church, will be the
teacher. The school is absolutely
free, and among the things taught is
bookkeeping, stenography, typewrit
ing, domestic science and a number of
other useful occupations. More than
one hundred were enrolled last term,
and it looks as if the enrollment will
be still larger next year.

GRIFFIN, Aug. 23.—Jan.3s C. Nutt,
one of Griffin’s best-known young
men, is running a small farm in the
heart of the city, and is making good
at it. On a plot of land adjoining the
cemetery, Nutt planted four acres of
Irish cobbler potatoes. So many Irish
potatoes in one field had never been
seen in this section before.
For some time now the crop has
been in process of harvesting. Up to
late only a portion of the crop has
been disposed of, but 400 bushels of
the potatoes have been sold at a price
ranging from 80 cents to $1 per
bushel.
To increase the returns from the
land Nutt has planted rows of corn
between the row's of potatoes, and the
corn is now over shoulder high. The
corn gives promise of making not less
than 25 bushels to the acre, and if
season is propitious, a good deal
more.

DALTON, Aug. 23.—The northern
part of the county was this week the
scene of two weddings of interest,
owing to the wide difference in age
of the couples, together with their
popularity.
At Cohutta the Rev. W. C. Had
dock and Mrs. Mary Ann Hartley
were married. The wedding proved
“Uncle Billy” Haddock’s fourth ven
ture, while his bride, Mrs. Hartley,
was marrying for the third time. The
Rev. J. C. Parrott performed the
ceremony.
On the same date Miss Nola Starkx,
of Concord, became the wife of Wil
liam Crain, of Beaverdale, the cere
mony being performed by ’Squire J
D. Brackett. Mrs. Crain is 14 and
her husband is Just two years her

friends and coming as a distinct sur
prise, there w'ere fully 100 friends as
sembled to witness the Hartley-Had
dock nuptials.
Auto Traded for
Horse Wouldn’t Go
Doctor Calls on Other Man to Swap
Back, and He Says Was
Cheated Again.
ROME, GA., Aug. 23.—Dr. W. A.
Wright's fondness for automobiles
was the cause of trouble with A. W.
Williman, of Cave Spring, which re
sulted in the arrest of the latter on
a warrant charging him with cheat
ing and swindling.
Dr. Wright has discovered that an
automobile, which looks as good as
new standing still, easily could be not
worth anything running. It is alleged
that William traded an automobile to
the doctor which, after the dead, re
fused to move.
A horse and buggy was given in ex
change. When the physician called
upon Filliman to trade back, he was
quite willing, but had sold the horse.
He. however, agreed to give him an
other. This horse was defective, Dr.
Wright alleges. The case will be
aired in the September term of the
City Court.

GENERAL MELDRIM MAY .
HEAD BAR ASSOCIATION
SAVANNAH, Aug. 23.—That Gen
eral Peter W. Meldrim, of Savannah,
will be elected the next president of
the American Bar Association at its
meeting on September 1 at Montreal,
Canada, is thought by many to be
very probable. For a number of years
General Meldrim has been regularly
attending the annual meetings of this
association, and he has been regard
ed for some time as one of its most
prominent members.
SAVANNAH, Aug. 23.—It is not
likely that the new system of account
ing, recommended by the auditors
who recently checked up the city’s
books, will be put into effect before
the first of the year. Likewise none
of the changes recommended along
with the new system will be made
before the first of the year. Pre
liminary reports on the proposed new
system, together with the several
recommendations for changes in the
methods of conducting the municipal
government, are now in the hands of
Mayor Richard J. Davant.
The most important change recom
mended, perhaps, is that a depart
ment of finance and accounts be es
tablished, with a Comptroller in
charge. It is not the intention to
have the office of City Treasurer
abolished, but to let him perform
merely the functions of a cashier.
His office will be in addition to that
of Comptroller, to which official he
will be responsible. Neither is it in
tended to abolish the offiice of City
Marshal, but to have an additional
, officer, that of City Collector, cre
ated. The Marshal will be th© man
in authority, and he will report di
rectly to- the finance committee of
Council.
The auditors recommend the crea
tion of a purchasing agent, who would
be at the head of the department of
purchased and supplies. This official
would probably be directly under the
Mayor and the finance committee.
In the matter of the exhausted
cemetery funds, the auditors submit
a complete report. They show that
a fund was created for the purpose
of perpetuating the care of lots in
the cemeteries. Funds to the amount
of approximately $12,000 should be
on hand at this time, besides the in
terest that would have accrued dur
ing the years the fund has been ivi
existence. This trust fund, it is
claimed, was protected by ordinance,
but the auditors show that the se
curities—stocks, bonds and cash—
were diverted to the general treasury
and spent.
It is understood that former Mayor
George W. Tiedeman is to make a
statement in a few days explaining
what he knows about the cemetery
trust fund matter. Mr. Tiedeman has
called on Mayor Davant for certain
information.
The investigation covered only th#
tenure of office of Mayor Tiedeman
and his administration.
MELL BAPTISTS TO MEET.
TIFTON, Aug. 23.—The Union

BRUNSWICK TO HAVE ONLY
ONE ELECTION THIS YEAR
BRUNSWICK, Aug. 23.—Brunswick
will have only one election this year,
which will take place in November,
when four members of City Council
will be elected. From present indica
tions it will be one of the quietest
ever held in this city—in fact, it is
doubtful If there will even be any op
position for the four Aldermanic
places.
