IA 1000 MILE TRIP TO IDENTIFY THREE MEN
Engman Called to Arizona to Identify Men Suspected of
Being Murderers of a Fellow Sailor Three Years Ago

carried by a strong tide to shore and
safety.
About two months ago three men
answering the description of the muir
derers were arrested in Arizona. The
English authorities had sent descrip-
tions of them to Chief of Detectives
Richard Sylvester in Washington,
and through him to all the leading
cities in the United States.
Captain Peattie was notified and re-
uuested to come over and ascertain if
the men arrested were really the muir
derers. He readily consented to make
the trip, which, when completed, will
be over 1000 miles.
The men arrested, if they are the
men wanted, probably went over land
to some other Spanish seaport town,
and sailed to this country, where they
hoped to escape any possibility OF
detection.

how much can h eput in bank? anG
not what percentage of his debts can
he pay?
We are thankful to say that more
of our people than formerly appreciate
this fact. and are conducting their
planting operations on the same sound
business principles that gnide a sue
cessful merchant, manufacturer or
banker.
A cotton-grower, to be successful,
must study diligently the law Of sup
ply and demand. He must be as care
full to provide for his next years
stoc k in trade what he can sell at a
good profit and no more, as is the
merchant VINO goes north to lay in his
supply for the fall or spring trade. A
hapha2ard manner of conducting ones
business must result in disaster,
whether he be a merchant who buys
without proper calculation of expen-
ses and probable profits, banker who
lends without regard to the ability OF
the borrower to pay, manufacturer
who spends more for equipment and
raw material than the manufactured
product can be reasonably expected to
bring, or a farmer who spends money
for what he ought to raise himself
and stakes all upon single crop.
We do not waste any time urging
" n cotton
cause we know they will do that; but
we have continually urged them to
raise all needed home supplies, such
as wheat, corn, oats, rye, peas and
every kind of forage crop to which our
soil is suited, to raise also their own
beef, pork, chickens and other poul-
trv thus having a farm well stocked
with every needful kind of food.
For the purpose of encouraging an
increase in the corn acreage as well
as to impart useful information, this
department has just issued a bulletin
on "The Selection and Preparation OF
Seed Corn" by Professor Charles w.
Davis. of the North Georgia Agricul-
turaI College, at Dahlonega.
II the farmer wisely conducts his
business, there is no other occupation
that pays such good profits on the in
vestment, while allowing leisure for
study and reflection. A farmer VINO
is a real business man, enjoys life OF
greater ease and independence than
one engaged in any other profession
In no other business can we invest
and then reap thirty, sixty or even an
hundred-fold.
But carless farming, like bad man
agement, in any thing else, Ieaus 10
want and ruin. He who does not so
conduct his affairs as to make hrst
of all the support of himself and faml-
" secure, invites trouble from when
there can be escape only by rare good
luck that comes to not one man IN a
thousand.
Hence the great need of agricultur-
al education, and of constant and IN
renting study to keep up with tne
best methods.

GALLONS GETS THORNTON
ASSAHIANT OF MISS DISMUKES
HANGED AT PRESTON.

Execution Was Private IA nd Devoid
of Amy SensatiOnalism. The
Rapist Ha Nothing to Say.
lobe Thornton, the black assailant,
died at ropes end in Preston, Web
ster county, on Thursday. The eXecu-
ton was in private, and was witness
ed only by officials, physicians and
few spectators.
Thornton stated from the gallows
that he had nothing to say, and ap-
peared anxious for a conclusion of
the ordeal. His demeanOr was that
of utter Indifference to his fate, and
even the usual ministerial blessing
was ommitted, only a deacon of
Thorntons church coming near him.
He left the jail smoking a cigarette
and apparently caring little for his
impending doom. His neck was not
broken, death resulting from stran-
gulation in eight minutes
ThOrntOn's crime was one of the
most tiendish ever committed in Geor,
gia.
One night eighteen months ago he
entered the residence of Miss Dis
mukes, maiden lady living mean
Weston, during her momentary alb
sence. Upon her return the negro
sprang upon her in the darkened hall
way, beat her into insensibility after
a desperate struggle, and upon de-
parting the scene left her for dead.
His victim afterwards was driven
insane and reason is still dethroned.
Both before and after his trial Thorn
ton freely confessed his crime.
