SONNY WILLIAMS SWUNG
HANGED FOR A CRIME THAT
WAS BLOODY AND BRUTAL.
ONLY a Little Piece of Skin Held His
Victims Head to the Body.
Both Were COnvicts.


At Colquitt, in Miller county, on
Friday, Sonny Williams was hanged
for the murder of Altman Ward, an
other negro.
1t was because of a dispute arts
ing over a watermelon that Williams
cut to death Ward, a fellow convict
in penitentiary camp near COlquitt,
and Solicitor General Laing, who
prosecuted Williams in the court,
and resisted all efforts to have the
governor commute his sentence, says
it was one of the bloodiest and most
fiendish crimes that has ever come
under his knowledge.
The evidence showed that after
Williams had cut Wards jugular
vein and he was dying Williams
chased his victim into building
about fifty feet distant and jumped
on him. Ward fell across a bench,
and with one hand on the dying
mans head, pressing his head back
ward, and one knee on his chest
Williams cut his head nearly off, on
ly little string of skin holding the
member to the body.
This was the first hanging in Mil
Ter county in about thirty years.

CALHOUN'S MURDER GASES
MAN-SLAYERS PLAYED A STAR
PART AT SC@ERIOR COURT.

Prominent Young Man Got Life Sem
tence for Killing Negro. Man
Who Shot Wife for Burglar
Was Acquitted.
The man with blood on his hands
was very much in evidence at the
session of Calhoun superior court
which was held in Morgan last week.
There were six or seven murder
cases in all, but Judge spence found
time to try only three of them, not
wishing to devote the whole term of
the court to this character of cases.
y Bob Clenny, young white man
who killed his wife a few weeks ago.
was acquitted. The defense was
that he shot Mrs. Clenny thinking
she was a burglar. She nau left the
room for some purpose while he was
sleeping, and, not knowing that she
had left, when he heard her return
ing he shot her before discovering
who she was. The jury was out
only about % minutes.
Allen w. Turner, a young white
man about Is years old who killed
Jim Casey, an old and we'll known
negro, last Christmas, was convicted
of murder, and on recommendation
of the jury for mercy was sentenced
TO the penitentiary for life Turner
is the son of a prominent citizen of
Macon, and at the time his deed was
committed was on his fathers plan
tation in Calhoun county looking af-
ter his farming interests. The evil
dence at the trial corroborated
the report of the tragedy print
ed in 1Ae News at the time
of its occurrence. Casey was
shot in the back with a gun while
leaving the Turner farm after call
ing on friend there. One hundred
and thirty-six shot were taken out
of his body. 1t was not until Gov
ernor Smith offered a reward of
$1O0 several months after the kill
ing that young Turner was arrested,
and he was then released on a bond
of 81, 900.
George Peterson, coIored, was
tried for the murder of Jim Jacobs,
another negro. The evidence in the
case showed that the killing was
without provocation, and the jury
returned a verdict of guilty with a
recommendation for mercy. He was
sentenced to serve a life term in the
! penitentiary.
The case against Clarence C.
Weaver, former citizen of Daw-
sn, who killed Ben Duke near Edi-
son five or six weeks ago, was con
tinued until the next term of court
At a committal trial at the time OF
the killing Weaver was allowed bond
by the justice court in Ine sum OF
$1,000, but upon an indictment for
murder being returned against him
by the grand jury Judge Spence in
creased the amount of the bond tc
$4,000

MUCH LOCAL LEGISLATION
HAS BEEN CUT OUT FOR REPRE-.
SENTATIVE MERCER.
THE City Court Promises to Figure
COnspiCuOusly Again. Some of
the Local Laws Proposed.

the Local Laws Proposed.
The Georgia legislature will con-
yene today for a hot session of fifty
days of talk and fuss. Representa-
tive ]. R. Mercer left last night for
Atlanta, and will be in his seat when
the speaker whacks loud with his
gavel and puts the legislative mill
to grinding.
Notice has been published of a
number of local bills that are pro-
posed for passage during the session,
among them being one to make thir-
ty feet the legal width of public
roads in Terrell county, another to
abolish the city court, another to
repeal the act creating the water
and light commission of Dawson, an.
other to amend the city school law
so as to make the mayor ex-off1cio
member of the bOaru, and another
to amend the city court act so as
to allow the solicitor fees instead of
paying him a salary.
Mr.. Mercer says he favors and will
press all of these bills except the
one putting the solicitor of the city
court under the fee system, which
he will oppose.
The city court promises to be a
conspicuous object in the lime-light
again this year, as it was last sum-
mer, when an unsuccessful effort was
made to abolish it on the petition of
500 citizens and the recommendation
Of the board of county commission
ers.
The solicitor of the court was
put on salary of 500 per month
and the fees arising from his Office
diverted to the county treasury sew
eral years ago when an agitation
against the court was started. What
the proposition to restore the fee
system and take the solicitor off OF
d salary will result in remains to be
seen.

It has been my lot to see in arctic

only small green patches of earth

feel falling away down there and not
being able to see the spot where he

A Picture Romance.

It is said that one of the most beau
tiful ladies in French society today
was first revealed to her husband on
the walls of the salon. 1t was while
visiting the salon in 1878 that the
youthful Marquis de c. was struck by
the childish beauty Of a young girl,
one Of the prominent figures in pic
ture of a village fete. Her tumbled
golden locks, her dancing blue eyes
and the freshness and graceful aban-
don of her figure so fascinated him
that he sought out the artist and learn
ed from him that the little witch"
was the daughter Of poor peasant
near Avranches, where the picture was
painted. To seek out the peasant and
to make the acquaintance Of his fas-
cinating daughter, child Of nine sum-
mers. was soon accomplished, and the
marquis lost his heart even more COM
pletely to the real than to the pictured
maid. With the fathers approval he
had the girl educated at one Of the
best schools In Paris, and nine years
later, on her eighteenth birthday, the
maid of the village fete blossomed
into the still more lovely MarQuise
