ASK JUSTICE
Dr. McNaughton’s Attorney Is
Retained to Defend Divorced
Wife Who Killed Couple.
MILLKN, An*. 24.—Following th«
funeral of her daughter, Mrs. Florence
Boyer Godbee, the second victim of
the shooting of last Monday, who was
burled Friday by the side of her late
husband, W. S. Godbee, In Waynes
boro, Mrs. G. W. Boyer, of Williams
port, Pa., made her first public state
ment concerning the dual tragedy
since her arrival from Pennsylvania.
Mrs, Godbee was the only daughter
and had been th^ Idol of the Penn
sylvania home. Nothing had been
spared to give her every advantage.
In speaking of the tiagedy Mrs. Boy
ar said:
. •’Florence ao often wrote me that
She was -iftppy and contented. After
her marriage I asked her If she real
ised how far awt^y she would bo
from mother. She said she did, but
that she loved Judge Godbee and
would be cared for and protected. We
all loved him, and he was so careful
to assure me time and again that
Florence would be well provided for.
I did not want her to come so far
away, but when I thought over It I
decided not to Interpose where her
bappineos was ooneerned.
**N >w It’s all over. My grief is
more than I can bear and my daugh
ter’s place in my heart will never be
filled.
Wants Justice Done.
•As to the divorced wife, T hope
justice will he done. My daughter
had never done her Any harm, and
how she will ever have any peace
again I can not f .e.
~My daughter had never been
South before, but she often wrote me
of things down here and said It was
a great place and the people were no
good ajid kind. Shi said she would
always want to live In the South
And now that she Is dead, I want har
to sleep forever among the people she
had learned to love so well and
among whom she was contented and
happy.”
Judge Oodbee's safe ha* been
opened and hls effects have been gone
over. AJ1 hls private papers have
been left In charge of W. U. Wallace,
at the request of all Interested par
ties. He and the Rev. E. E. Rot
Judge Godbee’s pastor, read them.
Practically all his real estate holdings
were in the name of hls daughter,
Miss Maggie Godbee, who lives In
Augusta, lie had one policy of insur
ance for $ 1,000 payable to hls slain
wife.
No Will Contest Likely.
It is not probable that thero will
be litigation cancer ing the division
of his property. It If well worth $30.-
000, and practically all goes to hls
daughter Maggie. Hls will was made
in 1910, and as he married since then,
the Georgia laws make this will void
However, as all hls holdings were In
the name of hls daughter Maggie, by
direct deed, there is little over which
to contest the will. None of these
deeds were on record, and he held
power of attorney from hls daughter.
In the last few years several suits
had been started to force him to re
veal the legal status of his property,
but he either settled or defended them
successfully.
The deeds were placed on record
and the will probated In common
form before Judge F. G. Rabb, Or
dinary of Jenkins County.

Life’s Worth
Living in Georgia
If you prefer city life, there
are no better cities in the
world than those in Georgia.
If you prefer village life, the
smaller towns in Georgia
offer every inducement.
If you prefer country or farm
life, Georgia offers greater
inducements than any State
in the Union. Georgia lands
work the year round, from
two to five crops being gath
ered off of the same land
each year—crops that are
profitable.
Climate and Soil
, ». —
The climate is such that far
mers do not have to house
stock duringthe winter, there
being good grazingtheentire
year. F or raising cattle and
stock Georgia offers greater
inducements than can be
found elsewhere.
The soil is suited for almost
anything that grows and can
be utilized the entire year.
The prices at which good
farm land can be purchased
at present in Georgia are so
low that it is a matter of
comment—some thinking
that the land is not so good
as stated. The land is good,
but there are thousands of
acres that are now lying idle
and the good people of
Georgia are anxious for good
farmers tocome among them.
Consequently the land is
cheaper here than elsewhere.
