COMING TRIAL
MRS. FLANDERS
Great Interest Centres In Case
to Be Called at April Term of
Swainsboro Court.
Swainsboro, Ga.—As the April terra
of superior court, which will con
vene hero the second Monday In
April, approaches all intercut again
centers In the trial of Mrs. Kred
Flanders, who is charged with com
plicity in the killing of her husband
Fred Flanders nearly three years ago,
and for which Ur. W. J. McNaughton
has been under sentence of death
for sometime.
Mrs. Flaneurs will be defended by
Messrs. Smith ami Kirkland of this
ctly and Imtber Z. Rosser, of Atlanta,
who was one of the trio of lawyers,
who defended Mrs Daisy Grace.
Mrs. Flanders was Jointly Indicted
with McNaughton for the death of
her husband, which occurred Juno 4,
1910. Traces of arsenic were found
in the dead's man stomach and Ur.
McNaughton, who was his attending
physician and who boarded in the
dead man's family was accused of
killing him. McNaughton was tried
and convicted and sentenced to hang
December 9th. Three times since
then has he heard the sentence of
death passed upon hint and as many
times has lie been respited. Governor
Brown holding that McNaughton was
not to die until the woman Indicted
with him has been tried, il being lav
lioved that his life depends on the
result of Mrs. Flander’s trial. If she
is found guilty the condemned physi
cian will In all probability he hang
ed and If she Is acquitted ho will
again make an effort for his freedom.
Hard Fight
From the very beginning this case
has been one of the ‘hardest fought
legal battles 1n the state. After lij.
first conviction McNaughton made
motion for new trial and lost. In Jan
uary 1911 the cose was carried to the
supreme court on hill of exceptions
and here too he lost. The next win
tor a now hearing was refused in
the supreme court an<l an appeal was
made to the United States supreme
court, which was later withdrawn to
file an extraordinary motion in the
state court and tills too failed.
As a dernier resort the attorneys
representing the condemned man
turned to the state prison bourd
the governor for a stay of sentence
which resulted in a partial victory,
since Governor Brown has declared
his Intention to continue to respite
MeNgughton until Mrs. Flanders is
tried.
In Chatham Jail
Durliyt all (his time McNaughton
has been confined in the Chatham
county Jail by reason of the fact that
at Ilrst sentiment here was so strong
against him that moh violence was
feared, lie has been permitted to
make his cel! In the Jail comfortable
and lie lihh spent much time in read
ing slid studying medical books. He
also reads newspapers and magazines
and has had considerable success in
collecting by mail many accounts
which were due him at the time of
his incarceration.
His two hnndsomo little hoys are
with their aunt in Halford, North
Carolina. They have never been per
mitted to visit llielr fatlier, he being
unwilling to have a visit to him In
prison impressed on their young
minds Even yet Dr. McNaughton
lg Quito bouyant and expect soon to
gain Ills freedom. Since his Incar
ceration lie has gained thirty-five
pounds and now weighs two hundred
and seventy pounds, ills guln in
flesh he attributes to hia lack of ex
ercise.
Mrs. Flanders is connected to aome
of Swuinslioro's most Influential
people and her trial will attract much
attention.

Fund is Started by Protestant
Churches For Flood Sufferers
Union Meeting of Congregations pf St. John and St. James

Held Sunday Night. Mr. Ru fus H. Brown, at Georgia Rail
road Bank, is Receiving Contributions.
A union meeting of the congrega
tions of the four centrally located
Protestant churcheß—the St. John
Methodist, the First Baptist, the First
Christian and the St. James Methodist
—was held Sunday night at the St.
John church and, besides passing
resolutions of sympathy for the dis
tressed in the calamity stricken ter
ritory of the Middle Weft, a substan
tial fund for the relief of the suffer
ers was started. One hundred and
eighty-five dollars were raised at the
meeting by cash and subscription and
the books were left open for addi
tional amounts which will be con
tributed later.
Mr. R. H. Brown was elected as
treasurer to receive contributions.
Checks may he sent to him at his of
fice at the Georgia Railroad Bank.
All who have not os yet contributed
are asked to give something to help
the thousands of people In Kentucky,
Indiana and Ohio, who are without
food or shelter.
Resolutions.
Following are the resolutions
framed by the Hon. Wm. H. Barrett
and read by Judge E. W. Callaway:
"Resolved, That to our country
men to whom tempest and flood
and fire have recently brought
distress, disaster and death, we
extend our earnest and profound
sympathy. To those many, who,
in noble effort to succor others,
have exposed themselves to immi
nent danger and certain suffering,
We send our admiring and appre
ciative greetings. To those daunt

sible to buy a first class tomato catsup at less
than 25c per bottle, and even these were often
preserved with Benzoate of Soda. The 10c pack-
1913, which is a considerable gain
over last year.
The realty report will show about
020,000,000, which Is also an Increase.
The taxes on realty in 1913 were fixed
by the Somers system and the basis
of assessment was 66 2-3 per cent
against 80 per cent under the old
system.
The total increase In the digest
will* be about 03,000,000 and as the
city gets 012,500 in taxes from each
additional 01,000,000 the gain in the
city's revenue from the tax digest
for this year will be 037,500.
could not subdue, or destruction
ennervate, but whose cheerful and
courageous spirit rose equal to
every emergency, we bow in ad
miration and pride; and l for all we
invoke the blessings of ths God of
all, who, while present in the flood
and tempest and flames, holds in
tenderest care the children of the
men who are made in the image
of their Creator.”
The meeting of the four churches
was presided over by Mayor L. C.
Hayne, who spoke briefly just before
introducing Judge Callaway to read
the resolutions of sympathy.
Although the immense auditorium
of the St. John church was filled to
its doors with people, there were
many who did not attend the meet
ing on account of the threatening
weather.
Those who did not attend and who
would have otherwise attended are
urged to send their contribution to
Mr. Brown at the Georgia Railroad
Bank without delay.
The money given towards this fund
will be forwarded through the Na
tional Red Cross and will be used in
the most effective way to alleviate
the suffering in the flooded districts.
At St. Paul’s.
At the regular evening service at
the St. Paul Episcopal church a splen
did sum was collected for the bene
fit of the needy flood sufferers. This
was added to the contributions raised
at the union meeting.
A number of heartfelt talks were
made by prominent citizens present,
among them being Mr. E. B. Hook,
ages consisted of inferior tomato stock, and
goodness knows what else, preserved with
benzoate to prevent fermentation. The 10c
bottle had quite a reputation in those days
at the hands of unscrupulous manufacturers.
Old “Benzoate” covered a multitude of in
tentional violations at the expense of the
public.
Several years ago it occurred to us that there was
an opportunity to put on the market an absolutely
pure tomato catsup made 1 from nothing but whole,
sound, ripe tomatoes, without Benzoate of Soda to pre
serve it. We experimented along this line for quite
a while, with the result that we found that our catsup
was far superior in flavor to any other catsup on the
market, and that Benzoate of Soda was unnecessary
in a clean, sanitary factory, where only the best mate
rials were used. It is needless to say that our Bull
Head brand of Absolutely Pure Tomato Catsup found
immediate public favor.
If you are using Bull Head Catsup you are, of
course, acquainted with its distinctive flavor; if not,
you should buy a bottle NOW. Every bottle is guar
anteed until consumed. Don’t forget to demand the
brand.

No one should exercise immediately
