Tobacco Crops Are
Damaged By Hail
Hail storms in several localities in
the county are reported to have dam¬
aged tobacco crops during the past
week. The most serious damage oc¬
curred on the farm of Perry & Earp
west of Camilla on last Friday night,
Hail fell for twenty or thirty minutes
and about twenty-five of the eighty
five acres of tobacco on this place
was considerably damaged. Mr. Earp
estimated the damage at $7,000 to
$10,000. Insurance to the amount of
$6,000 was carried on the crop against
hail and it is understood that the
owners received a settlement of $3,
700 for the damage done. Mr. J. D.
Gardner also had three acres of to¬
bacco damaged by hail. His crop was
insured against hail and he received
a settlement of $225. It is reported
that Mr. J. L. Stripling suffered con¬
siderably from hail on his Sale City
farm, with no insurance.
Garfield Robinson
Makes Confession
Garfield Robinson, a notorious ne¬
gro criminal who was sentenced to
hang on July 3rd, at Troy, Alabama,
made a full confession of his crimes
on the day before his execution was
to take place, according to a Troy
newspaper received here. The con¬
fession was made to several county
officials and was taken down by the
court reporter. Robinson admitted
that he had a part in the killing of
two or three negro women (the names
of the women were mentioned in the
statement in such a way as to make
the number uncertain) in Alabama,
but claims that another negro- was a
party to the crime and struck the ac¬
tual blows. Robinson claims that
their motive was robbery and that the
women were not raped. He also
told about the life sentence he was
serving in Mitchell county for the
murder of another negro woman at
the time he escaped from the chain
gang here, as well as a number of
other sentences for minor offenses
he had served. The Troy paper was
printed the day before the date of the
execution and no mention was made
of a possible delay in the execution,
so it is supposed that Robinson was
hanged on the 3rd.
