from where I sit... Joe Marsh
How to Choose a Tenant
Most tenant farmers in our
county have been in their homes
for years—because farm owners
have been careful whom they’ve
picked.
Take Bert Childers. He chooses
family men with children —the
more children the better —because
he’s found they’re stable, temper
ate, industrious —the kind who’ll
settle for a moderate glass of beer
at night and be ready for a good
day’s work next morning.
And from where I sit, the brewers
are pretty particular whom they
have for “tenants” in their indus-

THE FAMOUS
STORE
try—that is, the tavern keepers
who sell beer. They do everything
they can to see that they’re tem
perate, law-abiding good citizens.
And under their program of Self
Regulation, any tavern falling
short of those high standards is
first warned, and then reported to
the right authorities. Yes, good
tenants make a mighty big differ
ence, in a farm or in a tavern. It’s
worth being choosy!
INDIANS BATTLE
From Page One
blocked the kick for the extra
point. This touchdown play was
greatly disputed as one of the
Indian halfbacks hit the Central
| player and knocked him out of
bounds and this Central player
took two steps while he was out
i of bounds, but the head lines-
I man, who was watching the play
i ruled that the score was good
and the Central player did not
I go out of bounds.
Central was penalized 15
| yards on the kickoff, the kick
! was returned 5 yards to the 41
Iby Moore. Again Central was
penalized 15 yards to the 26, a
pass from Dacus to Bush was
' incomplete, Dacus picked up 4 to
i the 23 as Central was again
penalized 15 yards for the same ;
■ offense, putting the ball on the I
8-yard line, 2 line plays netted I
7 yards and Jimmy Bush plung- |
ed over on a quarterback sneak
from the 1. The attempt for the [
extra point failed and the ball j
game was over a few seconds j
later.
Statistics showed the Indians
gained 125 yards rushing and
gained 124 yards via the aerial'
route, that Joe Faye Dacus com
pleted 4 out of 6 passes and the
team as a whole completed 5 of
12 passes.
Friday night the Indians jour
ney to LaFayette with a game
with Pete Mattis’ LaFayette
Ramblers in a game that is to
begin at 8 p.m. If you want to
see a good game don’t fail to see
this one at LaFayette Friday
night between the Summerville
Indians and the LaFayette Ram

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS

AN ATTRACTIVE’TABLE
The attractiveness of your
table depends to a great extent
on gleaming china, silver and
glassware. To keep them at their
best takes a little time, but be
cause they are generally lifetime
treasures it’s worth-while to give
them the best of care.
Your silver should be washed
promptly after using in hot,
soapy water. Rinse it off and dry
immediately with a soft clean
towel. It should be cleaned at
least once a month. Use a good
brand of silver polish on a bit of
flannel and vigorously rub the
! pieces lengthwise. After the po l .-
Mrs. Freeman
From Page One
into the otherwise grim murder
trial when he attempted under
cross-examination to explain to
Mr. Hicks that the “front of his
house was the back and that the
back was the front.” The situa
tion was finally cleared up when
it was explained that the house
had been re-arranged following
the changing of roads.
Desparate screams of a woman
calling for “somebody, help,
they’re after me with a gun and
they’re going to shoot me,”
awoke Mr. Smith in the wee
hours on July 26, he said, and he
and his wife stood at the “back”
of their house, astonished and
not knowing exactly what to do.
A noise somewhat like a board
breaking then came, the preach
er said, and in a few minutes
more screams, which he indenti
fied as those of a different wo
man from the first, were heard,
calling for help. He his wife,
their son and his wife then went
to the Freeman-Brown home
where they found the Moziers
and Mrs. Freeman.
“Get her to the hospital, and I
don’t let her die,” the preacher
reported as Mrs. Freeman’s first
words to him.
J. B. Stephenson, county sur
veyor, who occupied a house
trailer in the Smith yard, arrived
shortly after the Smiths, and he
told the jury that he too had
heard a woman screaming for
i help.
Apparently the bullet went
through the victims right wrist
before passing on Into the right
side of her neck, where it cut a
large artery, according to testi
mony by Dr. W. J. Campbell, of
Centre, Ala., who made X-rays
and found the bullet lodged just
above the collar bone on the left
side, and according to testimony
of J. D. Hill, local funeral under
taker, who bathed the body in
preparation for embalming.
Jimmy De Long, young soldier,
a half brother of Mrs. Freeman,
appeared as a defense witness.
He had been a visitor in the
Freeman-Brown home shortly
before the murder, however, he
was in the guard house at Fort
McPherson from Friday, the day
before the murder, until the
following Sunday, it was brought I
out by the solicitor.
Special Investigator C. D.
Simmonds, of the Georgia
Bureau of Investigation, related
how he and Sol. Gen. Clower
went to Hogansville, in Troup
County, and together with a
county officer there arrested Mrs.
Freeman and questioned Geral-!
dine Gray.
Other witnesses included Toni
Youngblood, of Aired Street, who
told of hearing voices screaming
on the night of the murder;
Louise Cooper, colored, who lived
across the street from the crime
scene, and who said she only
; heard Mrs. Freeman call as the
Rev. Mr. Smith went up the steps
with a flashlight; Sheriff Glenn,
who disclosed that the well at
the residence had been drained
j in search for the missing murder
weapon; Bobby Allen; Police
[Chief Whaley; Dr. W. B. Hair,
; who had thought Mrs. Brown
was stabbed; and Capt. W. C.
McElmore, of the G. B. I.
The state presented three dia
grams as exhibits, one of the
bedroom, one of the house and
one of the community immedi
ately surrounding the house.
Also presented were pictures of
Mrs. Brown before and after her
I death and newspaper pictures of
the bedroom scene.
A majority of the crowd of
’ approximately 750 persons, pre
dominantly women, who jammed
the courtroom dispersed immedi
, ately following the jury’s verdict.
On the jury were: Roy New
man, Max White, Marcus Van
pelt, Grover C. Jackson, T. H.
! Mills, Charles E. Massey, Alvin
Tudor, R. L. White, C. W. Hutch
ins, N. Walters, C. F. Hones
and Lee Brown.
Assisting Sol. Gen Clower in
the prosecution was H. T. Clary,
and the defense attorney, Mr.
Hicks, was assisted by A. A.
Farrar, of Summerville.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Sir:
In my itinerary I left Man
chester, N. H. on the evening of
August 28, coming Southwest
ward byway of Boston, Mass.,
Albany N. Y. (where I saw for the
first time the beautiful, historic
Hudson River), Buffalo, N. Y.,
Niagara and its famous Falls,
both on the American and Cana
dian sides of the River (where I
spent the most of a day, viewing
sights I had not before seen).
From thence I, by bus travel (as
it had been thus far) came
through Canada to Detroit, Mich,
coming through the long tunnel
under the Detroit River. On the
Canadian side we all had to get
off the bus and answer the ques
tions about where we were then
living and where we were born.
It may be I was the first one at
that station that had ever ans
wered, “Pine Apple, Ala.” to the
former question and “Trion, Ga.”
to the latter.
From Detroit I came to Pon
tiac, Mich, to fill my engage
ments with the Kego Arbor
Church, where I mot friends,
some of whom I had known, in
j Georgia and Tennessee and
Michigan, four from 20 to 40
years. It was a foretaste of the
ones on the elysian plains of
| glory in the Sweet by and by.
I shall make my way homeward
in another week end, D. V.; but
stops along the way with friends
and loved ones at Chattanooga,
Trion and Summerville will make
me late in September getting
back to Pine Apple—home, sweet
home.
New Hampshire is called a
granite state, and so many of the
granite grave stones come from
thence. I saw sunken granite
mine. It sank while being worked,
leaving a lake of water a hundred
feet in depth, carrying all the
machinery to the bottom, which
is there yet.

ish has dried rub it off with a
chamois. Your silver will come
cut of this treatment sparkling.
Don’t worry if you can’t get all
the scratches off, because after
all, heirloom silver shows the
: effects of many years’ wear.
When you put your silver away
wrap it in tarnish-proof cloth or
store it in a chest. This will keep
' it bright looking much longer.
When washing your glasses,
wash them one at a time and
never with other items in the
dishpan. As a precaution you can
pvt a dish cloth in the bottom
i of the pan and on the drainborad
; t< prevent chipping and slipping.
If you want your glasses to realty

I omonia to the rinsing water.
