The regular route from Tren ton which is under construc¬ tion can be traveled on week¬ ends and is considered in the best shape of the past year. The Newsom Gap Road from Rising Fawn is in good condi¬ tion as is the old detour road up from Trenton. The detour road, however, is too steep for many drivers and is too narrow for passing in most places. So people will be asked to travel the regular highway (Georgia 143). There will be no danger to anyone driving this road unless icy or extremely wet weather sets in before Sunday. Fires Destroy Parker Old Jacoway Houses Fires completely destroyed two homes in the Trenton area Tuesday. The E M. Parker re¬ sidence, several miles south on the highway, caught fire late in the afternoon. Earlier at 1:30 in the morning, the Old Jacoway place in north Tren¬ ton, a Dade County land mark, also was completely destroyed. Fire prevention week began Sunday, October 5. The Jacoway place was va¬ cated by Mrs. John Hamby Monday, a day before the fire. The loss there was nominal because owner Henry Gross was making plans for tearing the old building down. Loss at the Parker home was much greater. Upon discover¬ ing the fire, Billy'Joe Brad¬ ford, a neighbor, rushed to Trenton for Mrs. Parker, who was teaching at Dade Elemen¬ tary. Volunteers rushed to the scene and fought the fire with water until the fire severed power in the house and the pump quit. Then the volun¬ teers saved nearly all of the household furniture, including the bedroom suite, freezer locker, refrigerator, stove, wa- ter heater, a great deal of clothing, and other items. Those with trucks worked un- 'til dark carrying the goods to the Odd Fellows building in Trenton because of a threaten- ing rain. Mr. Parker, a rea. estate man in Chattanooga, arrived at the scene after the house was destroyed.

Harrison was charged with possessing beer was an error made by The Times reporter when he copied the records. Joe Johnson was the only per¬ son charged with possessing beer. There was no arrest on a charge of drunkenness. Every¬ one knows that John has been guilty of drunkenness but he is trying to stop and publicity like this is more than discour¬ aging.

Army Induction Three Dade County boys were sent to Atlanta for induction for the army Tuesday morn¬ ing, Ernest Stewart, clerk of the selective service board re¬ ports . The boys are Ernest Junior Paris, Joseph Lester Harrison, and Alford Mitchell.

Head River Exhibit Winner at Gross Mercantile, Dade Winners; 1250 School The Head River Community won first prize for comunity exhibits at the 1952 Dade Coun ty Fair held last Friday and Saturday in the old skating rink building in Trenton. Ris¬ ing Fawn was second. Last year, Rising Fawn won first place. The Fair, featuring large crowds both days, was one of the best ever held here. A live¬ stock sale was held Saturday afternoon. In the commercial exhibits, Gross Mercantile was the first place winner, followed by Geor¬ gia Power Company, second, and Trenton Furniture Com¬ pany, third. Dade High was the winner in the high school divi¬ sion and New Salem was first and North Dade second in the elementary division. Parade Winners A parade was held through Trenton and past the court¬ house Friday morning to open the Fair. Every school was re¬ presented in addition to the Girl Scouts and the F. H. A. girls. About 1250 marched. North Dade was awarded first prize on its float, driven by “Uncle Sam” and with the Statute of Liberty and children wearing hats and dramatizing the various freedoms. A second float was a P.T.A. car with children dressed as those of other nations. The school band was also in uniform. A close second went to the Davis High and Elementary. The float had a big sign read¬ ing “Land of the Free” with an elephant and a donkey rid¬ ing, representating the parties in the coming election. The j cheerleaders marched with Milton Ivy, who was dressed in a football uniform. Rising Fawn took third with a fire and forestry protection float. The New Salem children car- Spree Tops Dade half and allowing three scores. Bremen won 26-0. With two starting backs shifted to the line and a fresh¬ man quarterback running the team, Dade started as though it meant business. The Wild¬ cats threatened twice tarly in the first quarter, being stop¬ ped once when end Doug Cole fumbled the ball after receiv¬ ing a pass from quarterback Phil Ryan and the second time on a pass interception. Cole fumbled when he was hit hard by the Bremen safety man on the Bremen 10, the only player between him and the goal. Norris Sims started the game off with a bang when he ex¬ ploded through the left side of the line, cut to the right and almost went all the way before being pulled down for a gain of 22 yards. The Dade defense was much improved over previous games and held several times within the shadow of their goalposts. But it was again Cubie Steele and Norris Sims leading the way with sizzling tackles until, both were injured in the final quarter. Jimmy Woolbright and Merrill Smyth, both guards looked good defense and 1 on Fullback Tommy M i t c h u m stopped a probably Bremen score with a tackle that fluster- ed a fourth-down attempt within the Dade 10 yard stripe. The Wildcats caught fire in the final minutes when, after stopping Bremen on downs on the Dade 8, Norris Sims re¬ turned to the game and began to run opposing ends dizzy. He skirted right end for 17, left for 12, and then left again for 15. Halfback Oscar Barton run left for 11 yard$ before Sims exploded again for 28 yards. A fifteen-yard penalty slowed the drive and the game ended with Dade threatening deep in Bremen terltory.

THE NAMES OF THE CAN¬ NUMBER 40 Baggett Charged With Murder Of “Happy” Daniel Preliminary Hearing of Sand Mountain Shooting Held Monday Morning J. C. Baggett was bound over to the March term of Superior Court without bond on a charge of murder at a prelim¬ inary hearing held by Justice of the Peace Fletcher Allison in Trenton Monday morning. Baggett is charged with the murder of Earl (Happy) Da¬ niel near his home on Sand Mountain Thursday evening, October 2. The shooting apparently oc- cured in an argument over three pounds of coffee which Baggett alleges was stolen from him by Daniel. One shot was fired from a 10 gauge shot gun. It hit Daniel in the upper part of his head and he died twenty minutes after ar¬ riving at a Chattanooga hos- pial. He never regained con¬ sciousness . Witnesses said Daniel was driving Baggett’s tractor when the shotting occured. The two men had been to Chattanooga together and the argument be¬ gan when they returned to the mountain. After the shooting, Baggett drove his tractor home. John Graham, who had been to town that day with Baggett and Daniel, came by Baggett’s house and told him he would drive him to the jail in Tren¬ ton. Graham told him a mob was coming after him to hang him. Baggett and his wife left with Graham. A car began follow¬ ing them which Graham said was “the mob.” As they passed White Oak Gap and began to descend the mountain, Sheriff J. W. Lynch and deputy H. H. Hutchins pulled beside Gra¬ ham’s car and asked them to stop. Baggett got into the sheriff’s car when a car full of men pulled up. One of them told the sheriff that “we’re going to take that man (Baggett) and kill him.” Sheriff Lynch said that he had placed Baggett under arrest and that he was his prisoner. The men further insisted that they have Baggett. Lynch then told the men that if they persisted in trying to get his prisoner, “someone was going to get hurt” but that It wouldn’t be the sheriff, deputy, or the prisoner. At that the men left and Sheriff Lynch brought Baggett to the county jail, DIDATES FOR PRESIDENT DO NOT APPEAR ON THE BALLOT. In other words, if you want to vote for Stevenson, turn your ballot sideways and mark the first column that is pro¬ vided for the Democratic can¬ didate for president. If you want to vote for Eisen¬ hower, turn the ballot sideways and mark the second column, which is for the Republican candidate for president. The candidate for whom you vote for president HAS NOTH¬ ING TO DO WITH THE WAY YOU VOTE IN LOCAL ELEC¬ TIONS. It makes no difference whether you vote for Eisen¬ hower or Stevenson or who else for president. You can vote for your local and state candidates as you wish. Split-ticket voting will not be unusual in the South this election year. Gov. Byrnes of South Carolina, Gov. Kennon of Louisiana, and Gov. Shivers of Texas—all Democratic of¬ fice holders — have all an¬ nounced that they will vote a split-ticket. They have an¬ nounced they will vote for Ei¬ senhower for president and cast their votes on a state and local level for the Democratic candidates.
