Since President Lower became the leading light

toward making its citizens absolutely safe from
criminals.
Physical Examiner Edward G. Westlake is in
measure responsible for bringing out the best
bodily qualifications in the men who are turned
over to him for inspection.
Says Examiner Weslake:

FARRIER HAD EXPERIENCE
 IN MEETING FRAUD CHARGES
He Was Arrested Once Before Charged Wfth Cheating Members Of
 His Race.

From Information obtained yester- dav lt was learned that James A. Far Tier. a negro, who was tried Thursday night before United States Commta- sioner John A. Fillmore on the charge of using the malls for fraudulent pur- poses, has been at least once before charged with the same ofeense. It ap- hears that James is skilled in beguil- ing the members of the negro race. and upon the representation of his knowledge of hidden treasure and his ability to locate the same has taken many dollars from negroes trusting in his honesty.
 James was arrested some time ago in Union Springs for using the malls to de1ude negroes at cuthbert. Ga, but escaped sentence through defect, it Is alleged, in the legal presentation of the case against him. He employed counsel who so successfully defended him that he was left at large to prac- tice further the clever scheme which he had evolved.
 "There was a flaw in de indictment en got free en I sho wug proud" was the way in which James epitomized the chapter in his history in which justice laid her frequently errtng claws upon him. It is thought that in the chance now presented to the blind folded lady James may find trouble stored up for him.
 The negro Is said to have consider able property in Union Springs, in all probability the fruit of his Illegal op- eratlons. He is an interesting person and the trial Tuesday is likely to prove an affair of interest. James is at present in jail awaiting the call before the judge. He has been a trusted leader <of his race.
