Tifton. Ga, Aug. 11-Jim Burke
was cut to death by Bud Mobley near
Osierneld. in Irwin county Monday
night Both are young white men and
Mobley belongs to one of the most
prominent families in the county,
The difficulty occurred at house
on Mobley's place 1t is said that
Mobley and Burke had had trouble
before, and Mobey had warned Burke
to stay away from his place and not to
he seen there any more Burke, it is
thought, had been drinking during the
day, and went to this house at a late
hour in the night, pushing open the
door and entering. AS soon as he
struck a light and saw Mobley, he
drew a pistol and began shooting at
him, when Mobley rushed upon him
with his knife and cut him to death.
The coroner's jury is said to have re-
turned a verdict of justifable homi-
eide.
Mobley has fed and will probably
stay out of the way for some time,
as it is said he fears violence at the
hands Of Burks friends.
This is the third killing that has
occurred in Irwin county within the
past two weeks. The first was the
killing of Robert Land by his son,
John, and the second was the killing
Of Henderson by Smith.

NURSING MOTHERS

A richer milk than milk
is good food for nursing
mothers. SCOTS Emulsion is
the rich cream of cod liver
oil, and contains ten times as
much cream as milk does.
The nursing mother must
eat with the purpose OF pro-
ducing good, nourishing milk
for her baby. A little SCOTS
Emulsion is often a very wise
addition to her daily diet. If
through nervousness or weak
ness her milk is a failure,
SCOTS Emulsion will help
make it a success.
The baby gets the benefit,
too, when the mother takes
