Beers HAVING BETTER LUCK.
LARGE RAIDING PARTY Is HEADING
FOR JACOBSDAL.

Commandant Olivier Has Gotten His
try Where He Can Make an
Easy Defense-Has a Good Chance
of Reaching kroOnstad - British
Losses Now Number Over 10000.
There May Be Delay in the Adj
vance to Pretoria.
London, Marca 2s, a. m.-The Beers
are having a little good luck and are
showing some holiness again, as a raiding
marty estimated at 400 is believed by the
British forces at Warrenton to have
crossed the -Bloemfontein wag-
on road Monday, and to have headed for
Jacobsdal, with the intention of cutting
the railway ten miles west.
Commandant Oliver appears to have
gotten his 5000 men and twenty-five miles
of wagons into rugged country. where he
can make an easy rear guard defense.
Charles Williams, the military expert
says:
IF this column gets through substan-
tally Comfhandant Oliver will have car
red out the great feat of the war seeing
that he ran every chance of being ground
between the upper milestone of Lord
Roberts army and the neither milestone
of the broken Basuto frontier"
He will have done it within 50 miles or so
OF Lord Roberts main strength. Certain
ly it looked for week as though Lord
Roberts held Olivier in the hollow of his
hand.
If Olivier gets through to Kroonstad
with even 5000 men it will be an import
ant addition to the Boer gathering there.
His escape is attributable in part to the
worn-out condition of the British cav
airy horses.
Lord Roberts transport appears to have
been badly dislocated by the loss at Reit
river before Cronje's surrender, of the
wagon train, and in addition to this the
army with which he purposes to advance
toward Pretoria is nearly double that of
the earlier rapid movements.
Ten thousand transport, cavalry and
gun animals are due to arrive at Cane
ports during this and next week
1t is given out at Cape Town that Lord
Roberts advance may be delayed for
months. Although such statements should
be received with reserve, it seems positive
that he intends to go to Cape Town to
there in ten days.
The war office has issued another table
of British losses, showing an aggregate
Of 1862, which does not include 40O4 who
have been invalided home

An Ex-POpuIist to Run Subject to the
Democrats Primary.

Oehocrutit Urinary.
Milledgeville. Ga, March 27.-Since the
meeting of the Democratic Executive
Committee on March "a, the candidates
for all the offices to be voted for on
March 49, have announced and are push
ing their claims for recognition In the
primary with a right good will.
The most significant announcement of
any of the candidates, is that of Mr.
w. H. Stembridge, to succeed himself
as tax collector. Mr.. Stembridge has al
ways been the leading spirit in the Popu-
list party I'm this county, very nearly con-
trolling its movements. In his announce
ment in to-day'S paper, he announces sub
ject to the Democratic primary on May
10. While this Is somewhat of q sur
prise to the county, it shows the almost
absolute destruction of the Populist move
ment in this county, and almost confirmed
The long current rumor that no opposi-
ton would be put up against the Demo-
Gratis by the Populists this fall.
Hon. John T. Allen Is the only an
.nounced candidate from this county for
senator of the Twentieth sena torial dis
trict, composed of Baldwin, Hancock ana
Washington. Mr.. Allen represented this
county in the Legislature at the last
session, and was very popular and sue
cessful member of that assembage.
While Mr.. Allen has no announced OPP
position as yet, the prohibition faction is
urging Hon. d. 10. Sanford into the race
insisting that a prohibitionist should he
given the nomination as Washington and
Hancock are dry counties.
Hon. ]. d. Howard, who represented
this county In the Legislature in 1929,
has announced for the House. He will
be opposed by Mr.. w. II. II. Barnes,
who is at present a member Of the Board
of the County Commissioners.

But Crimson Had Been Badly wound
ed by the Negroes.

Stillmore, Ga, March PA serious
shooting affray took place six miles south
of here last night little after dark, be-
tween Acting Constable w. A. Brinson of
this place and several negroes, one of
whom Brinson had a warrant for.
Crimson had gone to John Franklin's s,
colored, and father of Calvin Franklin,
the party wanted, with negro named
Eaton, who had sworn out the warrant
for Franklin for shooting at him last
Friday. Mr. Crimson entered the yard
alone and went toward the front door
Of the house, where he heard some people
talking, and when within a few feet of
the door, he saw a man rise from the
steps and present gun, and in the atti-
Jude of firing. He lodged as the gun was
discharged, and received portion of the
load in the SIDE Of his head and neck.
About this time a negro in the porch fired
at Brinson with a pistol, and ball glanc-
ed on the upper portion of the head,
knocking him down.
Not a word had been spoken by any
one. Brinson then drew his pistol, and
while on his knees, fired at Perry Frank
lin, the ball taking effect in the breast.
killing him almost instantly. He then shot
at Calvin Franklin, who was firing at
him from the corner of the house, but
without effect except to drive him away.
Brinson, weak from the loss of blood,
went into the house. He soon left and
walked half a mile to his buggy, and then
in company with Eaton, came home His
wounds We're dressed by his father, DE-.
S. +. Brinson, and DIR. j. r. Youmans
of this place. He is seriously hurt, but is
resting quietly to-day.
Sheriff G. f. Flanders was wired at once
and came down this morning. With the
aid of a strong force of deputies he arrest
ed Calvin Franklin, Kell Paris and An
drew Bird, all the negroes conceSned ex-
cept Eckman Parish, who could not be
found, and took them 10 Swainsboro,
where they are safely in Jail, until Mr..
Brinson is able to appear in court. These
negroes live in the southern part of the
county and are frequently in trouble with
somebody, being noted for resisting any
legal process whatever. Mr.. Crimson is of
one of the best known families of this
section of the state. The citizens offered
no interference, relying upon Sheriff
Flanders ability to do justice in the
premises.

TALK ON THE TRUE THEORY OF
CRIME AND THE CRIMINAL" )"

different classes of criminals.
In the first place he spoke OF convicted
criminals.
"They are unframed men," he averred.
UNFRAMED mentally.
II do not mean TO say by this that they
are illitcrate-for most of them have the
rudiments of an English education, but
they have no habits or thought ana no
forecast of the future.
"They are also morally unframed; they
have no acute sense of right nor of the
rights OF others.
Their only concern about right or
wrong is consideration OF the conse-
quences of wrong doing.
"They are also religiously unframed.
"The Roman Catholics in person are not
Catholics i'm any sense. The Catholics
who are regular I'm their church duties do
not go 10 Jail.
Criminals are also industrially un-
trained
"They have no habits OF industry un-
less IL is laborer OF the lowest class.
"In a word. they are loafers'
Continuing, the speaker declared that
great many OF the criminals were men
tally unbalanced, that is TO say, they
were cranky as rule and could not
see things as others saw them.
Finally the speaker emphasized the fact
that a very large proportion of the crimi-
mas were unmarried
Chaplain Nutting also said that there
were few professional criminals, most OF
them being "repeaters," and here the diff
ference between professionals and ''rc-
peaters" was shown.
The conclusion OF the whole was that
the sotcalled science OF criminal anthro-
pology does not exist
Following Chaplain Nuttings talk there
was an interested discussion carried on
by the ministers present. and the meet
ing adjourned at ~ o'clock.
