Greenwood Section
Visited By A Storm
A rather severe windstorm passed
through the Greenwood community
last Friday, blowing down a lot of
timber but fortunately doing very
little damage to crops, so far as has
learned. Parties passing through
(_ ba (. sec tj on after the storm reported
the havoc wrought to standing tim
her and it was feared that crops had
suffered in like manner, but spar¬
this was not the case. During
the past week a number of thunder
and windstorms of considerable sev
erity have occurred in different sec¬
tions of the county but so far no ser
ious damage to crops have been re¬
ported.

<rther officers whom she said were
concealed in her home as to the con
ferences with the defendants and as
to the payments of money. When
called upon to identify the defendants
who visited her home she was able to
identify eight out of the nine men on
trial. The defendants had denied vis¬
iting the Hudson home as well as the
other charges in connection with the
conspiracy to bribe Hudson.
Sentences were imposed upon seven
of the defendants Monday by Judge
Wm. H. Barrett, as follows: Wade
Laramore, two years in the federal
penitentiary and a fine of $5,000; Phil
C. Coxwell, two years and a fine of
$2,000; V. E. Slappey, eighteen
months and $2,500; Epp Moreland,
one year and one day and $2,500;
Fred Moreland, one year and one day
and $1,000; Waiter Womble, one year
and one day; Roy Salter, one year
and one day.
J. J. Gordy and Bart Moreland were
granted new trials by Judge Barrett
on account of the failure of the court
to rule on certain testimony that had
been admitted during the trial. All
of the defendants sentenced have ap¬
pealed for new trials. Their bonds
have been fixed at from $5,000 to
$15,000.

the tobacco very little, but blew down
a lot of timber, while we had some

crops much.
Altered $1 Bill Impelled
Only By Scientific Spirit
BALTIMORE.—-Pleading guilty to
a charge of passing a $1 bill altered
into a $5 note, Richard Volrath, 24,
student in chemistry at Johns Hop¬
kins university, is held by the United
States commissioner.
Volrath contends that he was mere¬
ly following out a line of experiments
in counterfeiting and criminal psy¬
chology. This is how he explains it:
“I have made particular study of
inks and dyes. In a book on forensic
chemistry I read the ways in which
the government detects counterfeit
notes. j,,
“It occurred to me to test the gov¬
ernment’s theory that people look
only at the number in the corners.
The way the blils are made it is the
simplest thing in the world to chahge
their denomination. The one I chang¬
ed to $5 was purposely crude. I left
the ‘one dollar’ ribbons unchanged
and inked ‘5’ in the corners after I
had erased the ‘1’. A little sulphuric
acid and a glass rod does the work.
Certain figures on the bill are printed
on just one side. These can be’ com¬
pletely removed.
“If my bill had ‘got by’ I would
have watched the papers carefully to
see how long it took to spot it. That
would have proved my theory, I did
not think of the possibility of getting
into all this.”

^ county And there |s nothing
improper about what has been done.
They have simply asked the court to
decide if the thing is legal, and if it
is not legal no good citizens would
contend for it.
There is no disposition on the part
of the people of this section of the
county to deprive Pelham or any oth¬
er community in the county of a just
share of the road work and other
county improvements. And in the
case of Pelham we can not see that
a single benefit has been filched from
that city. The Dixie Highway will
soon be paved to the Thomas County
line. The approximately fourteen
miles of paving now about completed
extends from the center of the county
to the southern border through
the town of Pelham, whereas there
are still sixteen miles of mud between
Camilla and the northern border of
the county, as well as several hundred
miles of other roads in this section of
the county that are receiving no
special attention. Yet our folks are
fairly happy and very few of them
are spoiling for a fight. We feel con¬
fident that wo will get our share in
due time and in the usual sane and
business-like way.
It was pointed out at the commis¬
sioners meeting Tuesday that the
j completion of the paving through
Mitchell county, connecting up with
the Dougherty county paving on the
north and the proposed paving pro¬
ject through Thomas county is sure
to place this section in position to at¬
tract many investors who are begin¬
ning to overflow out of Florida.
Once this movement begins every sec¬
tion of this county and adjoining
counties will be benefited and our
vacant lands will be filled up with
white farmers and land values and

shouldn’t do certain things, yet we keep on doing them
