Baconton notes the fact that
Camilla has sent four of her boys
away to school, and rather than
be left she has decided to send
four, perhaps five or six of her
girls away. Home offers many
inducements to these girls, in¬
ducements that double in value
when they are to be left
behind, but when, in the
tance, they see life with all her
forces ready for battle,
know that they must prepare for
this fight, so with sinking hearts
and swimming eyes they decide
to leave the dear home for a

Killed His Mother-in-Law and
Cut His Own Throat.
On last Saturday afternon,
Messrs. T. J. Jenkins and J.
B. Henley and Taffy Childs, of
Baconton, brought to Camilla on
the afternoon train a negro man
' V tbe name °* desse Bennett,
who had> tn Saturda y ni 8 ht -
kllled his mother-in-law and
tried to ld,] himself cut ‘
his fchrwatand stabbing him
self in the breast.
He was turned over to Sheriff
Smith, who had his wounds
dressed and then lodged him in
jail ■ to . answer to . the .. c Superior
court to the charge of murder.
Bennett, who lived on the Tur¬
pin place, about four miles from
baconton, had been in the habit
of beating his wife whenever oc¬
casion suited him and because
his mother-in-law remonstrated
with him for his cruelty, he be¬
came infuriated and without fur¬
ther provocation, made an attack
upon his wife’s mother with a
knife, inflicting wounds from
which she died in a short time,
and it is supposed that realizing
the enormity of his crime and
the penalty attached should he
be brought to trial, he undertook
to end the matter at once by at¬
tempting to take his own life but
'without success.
His wounds, while severe, are
not necessarily fatal ones, and
while, it is said that he begged
that he be allowed to die,'he is
doing well and bids fair to stand
his trial at the fall term of Supe¬
rior court.
Rural Route Boxes Will Be Pro*
tected.
Government authorities here
are becoming weary of the num¬
ber of cases brought up lor de¬
molishing or injuring the United

and each time he has increased
the punishment, hoping to make
examples of the offenders, but so
far without result.
