REWARD FOR GARRETT
May be ofered at the Request o

MaN be Ofered at the Request of
Butler Citizens.
Butler. Ga, Dec. 22.-The killing of
Frank Wilchar by Ben Garrett last
Saturday, an account of which was
published in the Morning News, con-
tinues the main topic of conversation
In the town and county. Wilchar
was about As years old, farmer in
comfortable circumstances. BY some
of the moonshiners he had been con-
sidered an informer in his former
associates. Ben Garrett, has been
considered dangerous from his
boyhood, sometimes a farmer and at
others a timber chopper, but at all
times ready to run or manage wild
cat still.
Since the killing CARROTS friends
have been circulating report that
Wilchar had recently stopped at Gar
rett's home. which is on the read Will
char Travelled to, and from his home
in going to Butler, and grossly in
suited his (Garrett's) wife. Nobody out
side of Garretts partizans, and they
are few, believes this story.
Garrett has a wife and two children.
He is about 80 years old and Who
ever undertakes to arrest him had
best take no chances. The sheriff and
fifty able bodied men were on the
square, when he ran up and began
cutting Wilchar in a savage manner.
He then used his pistol, firing three
shots. One went wild, two struck in
vital parts.
Only one man tried to stop him,
James A Hollis, but he was forced to
release him, when no assistance came.
1t is easy to condemn the sheriff for
not arresting Garrett, but those pres
ent who were summoned to go and
arrest him said they would go to Jail
first. Would they have done better
if they had been in the sheriff's shoes?
Wilchar was buried at Corbitts
Church, four miles south of Butler
Sunday. He left a wife and seven
children. He was a member of the
Masonic fraternity, which attended his
funeral.
The Governor will be asked to Of
fer a reward for Garrett.

Columbia, S. c., Dec. 22.-J. D.
Batchman, the white watchman at
the Gervais and Lincoln streets cross
ing of the Seaboard Air Line, met
with a horrible death last night. With
lantern in hand Batchman had just
stepped out of his shanty to warn ap-
preaching vehicles of the danger of an
on-coming shifting engine. A brake
man on top of one of the cars being
shifted shouted warning to Mr.
Batchman, but in the noise of the
moving train the cry was unheard.
The unfortunate man was struck by
the heavy trucks and his body jammed
under the wheels. Crushed and bleed
ing he was pushed fully twenty feet
before the wheels decapitated him, at
the same time completely cutting off
both feet and one hand. The train
passed on and left the mangled corpse
lying across the track just at the cor
ner of the pavement. The head was
fully three feet away from the trunk.
The deceased was about 60 years of
age and a widoWer.

FIGHTING SMALLPOX.

Houston County.
Fort Valley, Ga, Dec. 22.-Dr. II.
F. Harris, secretary of the State Board
Of Health, was in town to-day, con-
ferring with DR.. NJ. S. Brown, also a
member Of the state board, relative to
the treatment of several smallpox cases
now existing in the Sixth district of
this county.
A meeting of the local Board Of
Health was called and the question as
to the best method of dealing with the
situation was discussed. Compulsory
vaccina ton for every resident of the
sick district was decided upon, and
the doctors think 1t most probable that
a thorough fumigation throughout the
district will be ordered. This will i'm
pose heavy expense upon the county,
and for this reason the question OF
fumigating will first be submitted to
the state board at their next regular
meeting in January.
Each year, for the past few years,
there has been a few cases Of small
pox reported in different parts of this
county, and it Is thought by taking
the above precautionary steps it can
be entirely eradicated.
