'•COUNTY NEEDS
FOR ITS POLICE"
Chief Turner Declares En-
largement of Force a
Necessity.
"It I* almply impoMihle to prevent
crime* *uch a* that of thla morning
until a reformation is made in Fulton
count}'/* stated Chief Turner, of the
county police, Wednesday morning
lie was discussing the assault by
negro on a woman at Battle Hill earlier
in the day. “Until the people of this
county vote to have two headquarters,
one In the south and the other in the
north of the county, it will be Impossi
ble for the county police to do the
work which the public expects of them.
“Two heari'iumtors, with men on duty
night and nay, would give the county
such protection that crimes like that
of this morning would lx» almost un
heal'd of, because the police ivould be
nn the spot at once. And the expense
would be no greater than at present,
because with the added protection to
their \\Ives and daughters the farmers
would be perfectly willing to pay a lit
tle more taxes.
“Another necessnry Improvement
which should be made for the protec
tion of the county farmers is the pur
chase of u |*nlr of blood hounds. I do
not believe that those available In thla
county are worth their salt, when It
comes right down to tracking negroes.
If a cat Is run across the dogs are not
satisfied until they have chased her up
a tree, and it Is the same with rabblta
or other animals. The county does not
pay out a cent for these dogs, and,
of course, can not expect much from
them. V.’hat the county commission
er* should do Is to pay $500 or so for
a pair of blooded dogs and keep them
trained to hunt criminals. Until this
Is done we are under a serious handi
cap, and It Is really surprising that we
do as well as we have In the past"

J. F. Glenn, the while typhoid fever

staled recently that he waa shaken by
a negro orderly, Robert Reid, wa*
found In the bath room of the men'
ward Tuesday morning placidly puff'
Ing away at a cigarette, which he la
said to have solicited from the negro,
whom a few days sgo he had charged
with shaking him. Reid, the same ne
gro, was In the bath room at the time
with Glenn, and. according to authorl
tics, the two were laughing and Jok
It la strictly against the rules of the
ward for a patient to Indtdge In a
smoke, and Glenn went directly against
the rules of the wrffrd.
Those who are In a position to know
about the matter state that Glenn
wasn't shaken by Reid, but that the
latter was merely trying to pacify' the
patient, who had gotten angry be
cause th. negro wouldn't bring him I
drink of water. It seems that a fever
patient Isn't allowed to he Indulged In
too much water, whether It be cold or
not, and that Glenn wanted more than
his share. Reid refused to bring the
water. It Is said that when Reid went
near Glenn’s bed the latter kicked
viciously at him' and that Reid merely
placed hi* hand on the patient's should
er to quiet him.
