Excellent.
But when is the Government
going to give our farmers a credit
system enabling them to get money
at somewhat les than double the

This would be a real step to

Capitalist’s Son Denies He Flour
ished Weapon During Argu
ment With Street Car Man,
Walter T. Candler, of No. 80 Hurt
street, a teller in the Central Trust
and Bank Corporation and a son of
Asa G. Candler, will be given a hear
ing in Police Court on September 16,
charged with drawing a revolver and
threatening to shoot a street car con
ductor during an argument at Broad
and Marietta streets late Friday aft
ernoon.
Mr. Candler was arrested and given
a copy of charges by Plainclothes Of
ficers Green and McKibben shortly
after the occurrence, on complaint of
the street car man. According to the
story the latter told the police, he
started to cross Marietta street at
Broad and narrowly escaped being
run down by Mr. Candler’s automo
bile.
The conductor claims he told Mr.
i Candler to look w here he was going,
and asserts that Mr. Candler told him
- to keep off the streets, One word led
j to another,*the street car man says,
j and the quarrel became violent.
Corductor Reports to Police.
After a few minutes, the street car
man claims that Mr. Candler drew a
i revolver from hla pocket and leveled
( it at him, saying:
"Shut your mouth; i haven't £Ot
i time to fool with you!
The conductor told the police that
he was afraid Mr. Candler would
i shoot him, so he returned to the side-
! walk and Mr. Candler went on up the
street in his car. The street car man
at once called up police headqyartere
and entered a case against Mr. Can-
j dler.
Mr. Candler Saturday morning de
nied having drawn a revolver on ttie
man.
"I had a. revoi.er in my automo
bile,” he said. "I h d between $10,00')
and $15,000 in the which I was
taking to the express company fro.r*
the bank for shipment, and when I
carry that amount of money through
the streets I always have a revolver
in my car. I would be foolish to car
ry a large sum like that without some
means of protection.
Denies Drawing Gun.
"I did not draw the revolver on the
man, and I did not threaten to shoot
him. I do not remember that I cursed
him, either. He probably saw the
weapon lying in the automobile, anj
got the impression that I had drawn
it from my pocket during t.i quarrel.
From where he was standing when
the argument began he couli not see
tne gun. but later he moved up closer
to the automobile, ana then «he weap
on was in plain view.
"I had some words with the fellow,
but he was never in any danger of be
ing run down by my car. I was com
ing up M-arietta street from the bank
and was not running at a high rate of
speed. This man got in front of tha
machine, and I stopped to let him gel
out of the way. He yelled something
about looking where I was going, ar.d
1 probably said something along the
same line to him. We argued only a
few moments and then I drove on to
the express company.”

Daughter Collapses When Jury,
Deadlocked Overnight, Returns
Verdict, Asking Mercy.
MIL.LEN Sept. 13.—With the
doomed woman sitting stolidly in her
chair in the Jenkins County court
house, staring blankly and unbeliev
ingly at the twelve Jurors who had
Just pronounced her guilty, Judge F.
A. Saffold, chief of counsel for Mrs.
Edna Godbee, sentenced to imprison
ment for life for the killing of Mrs.
Florence Godbee, t) bride of her di
vorced husband, on August 18. an
nounced immediately after the pass
ing of sentence that he will ask for a
new trial. Judge Hammond proba
bly will name the date for arguments
some time later In the day.
Colonel F. A. Saffold, senior coun
sel for Mrs. Godbee, announced this
afternoon that a skeleton motion for
a new trial would be filed at once, ac
cording to statutory regulations.
No grounds will be named, but they
will be supplied as soon as the law
yers for the defense have had the op
portunity to review the evidence pre
sented at the trial of the convicted
.woman. They were in conference all
the forenoon.
Slain Bride's Mother G!ad.
“I am glad Mrs. Godbee wa« given
a life sentence,” was the comment
of Mrs. M. G. Boyer, mother of the
slain girl, after Judge Hammond had
set the penalty. “Hhe deserved pun
ishment. although I did not want her
hanged. A woman of her type is
dangerous at large.”
Mrs. Godbee would not see report
ers, but it was reported by friends
who visited her cell that she was
cheerful and optimistic, and was con
fident of an acquittal on a new trial.
Miss Sarah Godbee, the beautiful
daughter.of Mrs. Godbee, collapsed as
the foreman of the jury announced
the verdict. She lias been a constant
companion of her mother during the
trial, and her own cheerfulness has
had much to do with the cheerfulness
of her mother.
She held her mother's hand in hers
as the Jury filed slowly Into the court
room. Eagerly she scanned the faces
of each man, hoping for a sign that
they would declare Mrs. Godbee not
guilty. Each mans face was grave.
Her hand tightened over that of her
mother, and tears rolled down h-*r
cheeks. As the foreman rose to an
nounce the verdict she leaned for
ward, the most intensely eager person
in the room.
Mrs. Godbee Not Movod.
As the dreaded word guilty" fell
from the lips of the Juryman Miss
Godbee shrieked and collapsed. In a
hush broken only by the sobs of the
daughter, Judge Hammond ordered
Mrs. Godbee to stand and receive the
sentence of the court. Gently disen
gaging the clinging hands of he~
daughter, Mrs. Godbee rose and stood
without a tremor while the court or
dered that she be confined in the pen- !
itentiary the remainder of her natu
ral life. Without a change of coun
tenance, with no trace of the emo
tions that were sweeping through h *r
heart, she bowed calmly as the Judge
concluded and resumed her seat.
Mrs. God bee's daughter, young and
beautiful, presented a pitiful specta
cle that brought tears to the eyes of
every person In the courtroom. Hhe
clung to Mrs. Godbee's neck, while
the mother gently patted her head
and whispered words of encourage
ment As the Sheriff stepped forward
and placed his hand on Mrs. God-
bee’s shoulder to lead her away to
prison the young daughter broke
down completely. Hhe pillowed her
head on her mother's breast, tears
streaming down her face, her sobs
audible in every part of the court
room
As the hand of the Sheriff fell upon
her -ihoulder, opening wide the gate*
of the prison, Mrs. Godbee disen
gaged her daughter’s hand, imprint-
