nMIGRANTs FROM NORTH GA.

Southwest Georgia does not have
to go as far af1eld for a part of its
immigrants as some other sections.
North Georgia is sending a number
of her citizens to inhabit the sunny
plains and rich fields of this section
Of the state. Sumter and surrounding
counties are beneftting by the move
ment.
10 better tribute could be paid
to the advantages of one section than
to have home-seekers from an
other section of the same common
wealth locate there. Living under the
same laws and being in close touch
with the various sections of the state,
the selection of a new home was
made without the chance of being mis-
taken as to any material fact. Hence
this source of immigration is of the
choicest kind
With a mild and salubrious climate,
in addition to being one of the gar
den spots of the world, Sumter coun-
ty and this section of the state offer
unrivalled advantages for home
seekers. To those from North Geor-
gia, as we'll as from other sections
Of the Union, a most hearty welcome
is extended

KIDNAPPED WIFE OF
LIQUOR DETECTIVE
Girard, AIa.. Wrought UO
Over Blind Tigers.

Girard, Ala, just across the river
from Columbus, is tremendously work
ed up over the alleged Kidnapping of
the wife of the detective, W. B. Wal
ker, who worked up the cases against
blind tigers in that town The wo-
man disappeared for several hours,
and when she returned claimed that
one Seab Jones, clerk in a Phoenix
City saloon, had induced her to get
into his buggy and had then refused
to let her get out, driving aimlessly
over the town for several hours A
warrant was issued for Jones, and he
was placed under small bond of 800
on a charge of assault
Mrs. Walker accompanied her
husband TO the train on Monday morn
ing, Mr.. Walker being on his way to
nearby town. AS she returned to
her boarding house she says that a
man followed her and asked her how
long she had known her husband, and
was informed, among other things
that it was none of his business. The
man then claimed to be a detective.
She then proceeded on her way to
the boarding house, where she was
soon called to the telephone and told
TO come to the depot at once. She
went, accompanied by the
boarding house keeper No one was
there. Another telephone call and
another trip. Same result.
The next telephone call was answer
ed by the boarding house keeper The
man at the other end of the line said
that it was necessary that Mrs. Wal
ker come at once and alone TO the
station, and that if she did not he
would send the sheriff for her Mrs.
Walker went to the station again, and
was met by Seab Jones, the man who
had accosted her earlier in the day.
Jones stated that Mr.. Walker was
under arrest on a charge of bigamy
and that he would drive her to the
house where the other woman was.
Mrs Walker finally got into the buggy,
though much mystified by the whole
affair. 1t soon became evident that
the man had no particular destina-
ton, and when she insisted on get
ting out of the buggy, he prevented
her After some four hours of driv-
ing Mrs. Walker stated that she
was going to jump out of the buggy
anyhow He finally drove uptown and

In the meantime Mr.. Walker had
returned and was searching every
where for his wife He happened to
be standing not far away when his
wife alighted from the buggy and soon

the story a warrant was sworn out
for Jones, who was later arrested at
Phoenix City.

bartender is not fully known, unless
it was 10 intimidate Detective Walker,
who had worked up strong evidence
in a number of cases of alleged ille

Only a few days before three bombs

men. The prohibitionists have be-
come more determined than ever in
their efforts TO stamp out the joints.

Having the earmarks of the genius
of "nature-faking" correspondent, a
story has been sent out from North
Carolina of a woman on horseback
who was pursued by wolves. After
a thrilling chase-according to the
correspondent-the woman reached
home. Just as she tumbled off the
horse in front of the door a fierce
catamount leaped into the saddle. Ex-
cept for the fact that the husband
just then opened the door, having a
rife in his hand with which he shot
the animal dead, the woman might
not have escaped. Such imagination

An idea of the reyulsion of feeling
over the occupancy of Cuba by this
country is gathered from the report
that European powers are preparing
to formally protest against the es-

year, as announced by President
Roosevelt. There was a time when
some of the foreign powers were
rather ugly about the occupancy of
Cuba. Business interests of all ma

CHARGED WITH VAGRANCY.
William Jones, However, Proves
Himself Innocent and Is Released.

William Jones, truck farmer, living
near Brookland. D. c., who gained no.
toriety some twenty-seven years ago by
Guiteau, as he was being removed from
the courthouse to the prison while his
trial was in progress, was a prisoner In
the Police Court yesterday charged with
vagrancy. For fully two hours 1t was a
question of whether there was sufficient
testimony against the prisoner to warrant
bringing him to trial on the charge. 1t
was finally decided. however, there was
not. and after spending night in sta
ton house and several hours in the Police
Court the man was given his liberty.
Jones' difficulties with the authorities
consisted In his imbibing too freely at
various saloons In the northeastern Sec
ton of the city and entering the estab-
lishment of William Luchs. an agent for
a mineral water. at 18th and F streets
northeast, and proceeding to clean out
the place. 1t was stated Jones ran into
the store, drove the proprietor out and
made himself at home by taking a seat
on q huge inverted water bottle and con-
tentedly smoking his pipe. The situation
was strained one, at least. until Police
man Bremen of the ninth precinct came
along and persuaded Jones to go to the
station house and sleep it off.
While in the station house the prisoner
had a hysterical attack of remOrse and
insisted that the police prefer a charge
against him which would result in a
workhouse sentence. Cautious and sober
yesterday. he insisted that he gave no
such instructions and wanted to be set
free.

Miss Bessie E. Ress. former Wash
ington High School girl and the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs B. w. Reiss of this city,
is sojourning at Eagle Pass, Texas hav-
ing gone there to visit. In a recent letter
to her father she describes a narrowing
incident in which she was participant.
In riding across country to see friend
at one of the military posts and to take
a horseback ride with her, she stopped at
the home of Mrs. Easton. who asked
her to ride around back Miss Reiss' S
letter continues:
"All at once my horse sank into the
earth, so suddenly that 1 had just time
to jump off before he went all the way
in. Mrs. EastOn says 1t was the most
startling sight she ever saw, for il looked
to her as If the horse had been swallowed
up by an earthquake.
II thought he had sunk into a regular
well. and of course despaired of recover
ing him. but Mrs. Dow called the prison
ers from the immigration detention camp
which is located at the post. They soon
had the earth dug away from the open
ing and we discovered that 1t was a
sink hole about ten or twelve feet deep
which had been covered over with boards
and then with earth, SO that there was nc
suggestion of an excavation until the
weight of the horse caused the rotted
boards to give way.
They got the horse out without a
scratch"
