What has Macon liquor done?" said Mr..
White. in the course OF his sermon
Liquor has corrupted and controlled our

knowledged that no man can defeat the

NEGRo's BODY UNEARTHs CRIME
The Grants and Others Are Accused of
Robbery and Murder.

Carrollton, Ga. June Especial. This
community has been thrown into Il fever
of excitement by the arrest of the Grant
men, some of the most prominent people
in this section. the charges of murder
and BURGLARY They have been locked in
Jail and the evidence seems to be against
them
Several daring burglaries have been com
mitted here of late in this neghborhood
and the authorities had been unable TO
locate the guilty parties 1t now appears,
however that the Grants are responsible
for the crimes. and that they murdered a
negro who happened 90 know of their das-
tardly deeds, for fear he would betray
them.
A few weeks ago the store of the Messrs.
Mathews. at Glenn. in this county, was
burglarized, the loss being about $500 worth
of goods The sheriff was called in and
every effort made 60 locate and capture
the thieves. but all to no avail.
The store at Sargents. in Coweta county,
was burglarized about the same time by
the same parties. il was thought.
On Saturday evening while some boys
were in swimming in Flint river, near
Brooks Station, one of them VINO was some
distance from the others, discovered the
dead body OF a negro man on los with
weights upon his neck, skull crushed IN
and two bullet holes through his body.
The boy FASTENED back 10 whore the
others were and the body was taken out.
and the alarm given the neghborhood.
The coroner was summoned and an inquest
held which brought forth evidence that
involved three of the Grants in that
neigh6orhood. and two other parties. the
names of whom were not learned in the
making away of the negro
The evidence was that on the night the
store was burglarized at Glenn this
negro. who lived near elem. passed along
and discovered the burglars. In order to
shut his mouth they made him assist in
carrying out the goods TO the wagon while
they were loading and also made him go
along with them back to Fayette county
where he was hired by one of the Grants
In a difficulty with one Of the Grant boys
last Saturday a week ago. in which he
was knocked down by Grant. the negro
threatened TO leave and said that he knew
more than he had ever told The Grants
would not let the negro leave and on the
next day, Sunday. they locked him up in
the crib.
The last he was ever seen alive was on
that day. There was another negro man
on the Grant place of whom this negro
made a confidant ana il is his evidence
before the coroner's jury that has brought
these facts our.
All Of the Grants ana the other parties
have been arrested and are now IN the
Fayette jail. A watch set on Grants
house and a buggy was discovered leaving

When examined the buggy was discovered
