FOR HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
WHITE MAN IN JAIL ON A ST.
RIOuS CHARGE.
Took a Negroes Money and Then
Had Him Whipped at Point
of a Pistol.

<sColone" Charles Wilkinson, VINO
introduced himself to this community
three or four weeks ago by driving tc
the court house and having Judge
Roberts perform marriage ceremony
while he sati buggy with his bride,
j. in trouble. He is not only in trouble
but is in Jail, and if the offense with
which he is charged is proved the
probability is that his trouble has just
begun.
Since his advent here the colonel"
has DISTORTED himself in. various ways
that attracted attention, but it was his
last diversion deprived him of his lib
erty.
Late last Wednesday afternoon Will
kinson, with an unknown negro COM
panion, lief the city, going out by the
Central depot. A mile or two from
town he stopped at a negro house, and,
representing himself as deputy sher-
iff. arrested a negro named Ed Sui
livan, telling him that he was wanted
for stealing a COW from Mr. q. w.
Dozier. He took from Sullivan sixty
five cents, all the money he had, and
then. making him get into the bug
gy with him and his negro COM
panion, drove to the bridge that spans
Wolf creek. Arriving there Sulli-
vans brooches were taken down and a
terrible Jogging given him, Wilkin-
son holding a pistol at his head while
the NEGRO who left Dawson in his COM
pany welded new buggy whip on the
naked skin with terrible effect. After
whipping him until they we're satisfied
they released their victim, and as he
ran off through the woods he was shot
at several times Sullivan C me- TO
the city Thursday and exhibited the
wounds upon his person to several rep
utable citizens, who say that he bore
unmistakable evidences of having re-
ceived severe beating. The flesh
where the blows were inflicted was a
perfect mass of sores. He swore
out three warrants for Wilkinson,
one for highway robbery, one for
assault and battery land one for
pointing pistol, and it was UPON these
that the playful colonel was arrest
ed late Saturday afternoon after being
chased to Albany by Sheriff Christie,
Deputy Slade. and Bailiff Will Shep-
herd.
1t was learned about noon Saturday
that Wilkinson wass three or four
miles from the city, going toward
Albany. and after wiring the Dough
erty county sheriff to be on the
lookout for him the Terrell officers
started in pursuit. They were only
about thirty minutes behind the fugi-
tive when he was arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Goodwin of Dougherty county.

WORNER WAITS.
News Notes from the Twelfth District Com
munity.

IHuUilYs
There was no report from Worner
last week, as the writer was confined to
his bed. There is great deal of sick
ness in this community, more the last
ten days than in several years be-
fore.
Messrs.. w. NJ. Webb and son, Eras-
tus, also Mr.. T. B. RADON and John
Jennings, returned from the wiregrass
last week. They were well pleased
with the country.
Mr.. B. F. Scott has completed his
stock of goods, and now crosses
his legs to take smoke and patiently
wait for the boys to bring their dollars.
The people around Worner are well
pleased with their crops up to this
me.
Mr.. J. p. Davis is unable to attend
to his crop on account of his best girl
being on visit in Alabama and fear
he has that she may not come back
single. 1t has almost caused a doc
tors bill.
W.J.R. Davis started to his roast
ing ear patch and the lightning bugs
were so thick that he thought it was
thunder storm, and he followed at his
children so that he liked to scared
them to death.
The people in this community be-
Iieve in good roads. They met at bad
hill between Worner and PARROT and
dug it down one day last week, andsit
is good road now.
We think the ordinary had better get
a good supply of licenses, for they will
be needed around Worner. We think
the young people will marry, from
their movements.
J.P. Davis, the old batch, has found
a remedy for the heart trouble. We
advise Mr.. Jim Daniel and the other
boys to see him at once, as we think
he can relieve them
Uncle Jacky Daniel and son have
sent their gin to Fort Valley to have it
repaired. They expect to do nice
work for the farmers this fall.

bic in Albany he found the Dougherty
county officer there awaiting his arrlv-
al, and was at once taken in charge.
Sheriff Christie took the prisoner in
the buggy with him, and the Terrell
county officers started on the trip
back home, arriving here at mid
night.
Wilkinson made his appearance in
Terrell county only few weeks ago,
and nothing is known of him here.
He is dark Completed, about five feet
and six inches high, weighs about 100
or l65 pounds, and says that his home
is in Tampa, Fla.
Is Wanted In Webster.
Yesterday Sheriff Christie received
a letter from Sheriff Horn of Webster
county stating that Wilkinson is want
ed by him. 1t is said that the charge
against him there is cow stealing.

The Newspaper the Best.

Enterprising merchants in New
York have learned that a majority
ut the residents of the metropolis
iook down on the streets from
10 've, aud hence they are begin
ing to paint elaborate signs on
ne tops of their delivery wagons
as advertisements of their stores.
This is not a bad idea. Put your
advertisement where the people
will see it if you desire to sell
goods. The newspaper is the best
of all vehicles for displaying
signs.-Norfolk Journal of Com
merce.

Southern merchants is that they
themselves have been too much in

newspaper advertising And yet
