Crude Thoughts and Recent
Occurences.
By Livingstone.
Hot and dry—rain needed.
People are most done laying
by and ready to rest till fodder
pulling time.
It seems a little strange that
the boll weevil has been in the
United States for several years
and not much was said about it
in the papers untill it reached
North Georgia, Now the papers
are flooded with various kinds of
dope to catch the unwary farm
ers’ money, and one editor says
the time is near when the weevil
will be conquered. It might be
wise not to he too sure of this,
for when was the potato bug,the
house fly and numerous other
pests conquered? They have
been, never will be, and it is like
ly that the boll weevil won’t be
either.
Uncle Happy, your kind words
concerning me and my feeble
writing were appreciated beyond
my power of expression. By way
of encouragement I will 3ay that
I wish The North Georgian had
at least 2<t correspondents of the
distinctive type and ability of the
composer of the Brookwood dots.
I have always been" of the same
opinion as the late Senator Wat
son. You no doubt remember
where he once said that if his
friends had any flowers for him
to p’eas.e scatter them along his
pathway thru life. This, how
ever. Was not done, but thorns
were scattered instead, and after
his death his casket was loaded
with flowers, such as is seldom
seen. This, in my opinion, is not
as appropriate as to scatter flow
ers around one thru life, when
they can see and appreciate them

ITS STRANGE, WEIRD STORY
After Five Yeare in Prleon Son Write*
to Hl* Mother Under Assumed
Name, Inquiring About
Her Son.
Birmingham, Ala. Burled In the
little family lot of a cemetery near
Qedaden, Ala., and grieved os. dead by
• sorrowing mother for five years,
Clarence Peters turned up olive In the
State prison. It's a strange story,
weird In detail, but altogether true.
la 1917 Peters, alias Jim Holloway,
was arrested In Morgan county as a
member o t a gang of thieves operat
ing In Decatur. Two comrades were
captured, while five others escaped.
Peters refused to squeal on his pals
and took a fifteen-year sentence, while
the others went free. Peters, still
known only by the name of Holloway,
began his prison sentence while un
der twenty. In 1918 he escaped from
the state prison and stayed at his
mother’s home In Oadsden several
weeks before leaving for the West
Hla mother and brothers never knew
be was going onder the name of Hol
loway.
Never Knew of Return.
A abort while after he escaped from
prison he was captured In a western
state and sent to Alabama, where
prison bars awaited him, but hls rela
tives at Gadsden never knew of hls
return. In the latter part of 1019 a
message was received from a small
town In lowa by Mrs. Peters Oar
cnee’s mother, that a young man an
swering her son’s description bad
been killed In a railroad wreck, and
that letters taken from hls pockets
bore the name of "dcrenee Peters,
Gadsden. Ala."
The body was osnt to Mrs. Peters
and grieved ovar by the mother and
goon. The head and face were so
badly mutilated that close Mentifica
tton was Impossible, though the size
of the body and color of the hair
filled the description of Clarence. A
tombstone purchase# by the family
was placed at the head of the grave,
but Clarence, Ignorant of the cruel
Jpke, served on In the penitentiary.
Be refused to convey news of hls re
capture to bis mother, and the Inci
dent was forgotten in Gadsden.
Wrote His Mother.
In 1922 Peters could no longer re
frain from writing home, and under
the name of Jim Holloway wrote hls
mother Inquiring of her son’s where
abouts and feigning friendship with
young Peter*.
Hls mother, a deeply religious wom
an, wrote, thanking him for the Inter
est manifested in her son. telling him
of bar son’s tragic death and urging
him to take the warning and live an
upright Ufa The tender words of the
sorrowing mother so touched young
Peters and so overwhelmed him with
surprise over hls supposed death that
he Immediately wrote the whole truth
to hls mother nnd Mrs. Inters was
Soon clasping her son to her bosom
behind the prison bars.
