Professor Joseph s. Stewart, state
agent of the University of Georgia, is

eight new counties recently formed in

Of discussing with the officials the

Father lad Sons Mast Die.

For the mIrder of the Carter chill.
rem near Vallosta, the supreme court
Of the state has decided that J. G.
Rawlins and two of his sons, Milton
and jesse must die on the gallows,
while another son, Leonard, must
serve a lie sentence in the peniten-
tiary
At the shine time the supreme court
reversed the lower court in the case
of Frank Turner, a negro, convicted
Of being ah accessory before the fact
in the SAL he case, and sentenced to
life imprisonment,
In Turner's, case, it is declared the
evidence is not sufficient to authorize
the verdict, and that the court erred
in not granting him new trial
Under this decision of the supreme
court the three Rawlins will be re-
sentenced to the gallows, and the
fourth one to the penitentiary. With
an appeal to the United States su-
preme court in prospect, and then the
prison commission and the insanity
laws ahead, it may be some time yet
before the sentences are finally ex-
ecuted.
Alf Moore, the negro in the case
who was sentenced to be hanged, did
not appeal to the supreme court. 1t
is understood that Moore cannot be
hung until Frank Turner is disposed
of, as he is the main witness in the
case when it comes up again.

STORIES ARE
EXAGGERATED
Superior MaH Back From
Upper Waters of the
Mississippi.

1Myron Tubbs, says the Super
Tor Telegram, returned from a
cruising and exploration trip in
the woods in the vicinity Of Deer
River and Cass Lake. He says
the stories being sent out in re-
gard to the great danger from
high waters in the Mississippi
and prospect of the dams giving
way are in his estimation the
work of 'sstring tends" to a
large extent.
Mr.. Tubbs said that he was in
the vicinity of the big Winni-
bigoshish dam few days
ago and that the water was
then four feet or more from the
top and that since then he knows
that it has not risen over two
feet and he does not see where
the danger comes in. He says
that all the dams along the river
are immense concrete affairs and
that he does not look to see any
great damage.
The only damage that has been
done, Mr.. Tubbs says, in the
region where he was, is that the
meadows along the river have
been overfiowed and some hay
there will be lost. The river is a
little higher than a drying head
and not as high as a. food. Mr..
Tubbs said that things were not
so serious but that the sawmilL at
Cass Lake was able to operate.

noticed here to any considerable
extent.
Other home grown vegetables
have been offered for two weeks
and more past, land peas, radishes,
onions, lettuce etc. are now very
plentiful. The county produces
some Of the finest vegetables

vegetable farms in the immediate
vicinity of Bemidji is greater
this year than eyer before.
Northern Minnesota berries
are now ripening. Home grown
strawberries of exceptional size
and flavor have been offered dur.

all. other cities, towns and coun,
ties of the state can be obtained
until all of the totals have been

of the state census bureau have
been completed. Then the news
will be sent out at one and the
same time, andno dissatisfaction
can possibly arise.
Such is the result of the direc-
tons received from Secretary Of
State Hanson.
These directions were given
out as the outcome of the recent
announcement in Minneapolis of
the city's population. The total
was printed by one Of the Min
neapolis papers before the mat
ter was ripe and the result was
hard feelings on the part OF the
other papers, and some severe
criticisms of the methods employ
ed by the census director.
Sec. Hanson then issued orders
not to give out any definite re-
turns whatever.
Minneapolis will show popu-
lation of $4,000, according to the
figures, but the books are said
to haye been padded in many IN
stances. Stories are heard Of
how enumerators copied hotel
registers for months back and
adopted other such methods of
swelling the population of the
