BARBOUR RETURNS
 ID OLD SYSTEM Warns Out Citizens to Work
 the Roads THE EQUIPMENT IS SOLD John Braham Dies at His Home Near Comer-Development Along Eu- faula and Ozark Branch of
 Central of Georgia.
THE EQUIPMENT IS SOLD

Eufaula, August 3.-(Special )--The old system of working the public roads of the county by warning out hands Is again being put in vogue and in some sections this means Is now being employed. The county mules have about been disposed of P having been sold recently at public outcry on the streets here. It has been learned that the equipment will also be offered for sale at an early date and the course of the incoming new County Board of Revenue, which will assume control early this fall, will be awaited with in terest. It is evident that some system will have to be employed that will bet ter meet the wishes of the masses as great dissatisfaction was expressed with the method recently discontinued. Owing to the great number of miles of public roads in the county the expenditure of $15,000 did not bring about the desired results, and it is hardly probable that the method of warning hands will ac- complish the task. and as the hauling season Is near at hand it is evident that something will have to be done

 Denies Statement.
 Defendant said he didn't know whether the gun was loaded or not and thought that the pistol only had one cartridge in it until after the shooting when he broke it, down at Mixon's. He denied some of the statements heretofore testi- fled to by witnesses that he made after the arrest; some of them he admitted. some he didn't remember. He denied telling the officers who had him under arrest that Putnam was cutting at him when he was shot, and said he "believed" he jumped out of the buggy and ran from the sheriff, but didn't remember what he said to the sheriff when he ran him down.
 The state in rebuttal offered Miss Wal drop and her 14-year-old brother. who contradicted the defendants witness. John Lee, on vital point in his evi- dence. Lee swore he saw the struggle on the back porch, saw Putnam put his hand in the pocket just before he was shot. Miss Waldrop said she lived at the third house from Putnam's that she was on the stairway going up stairs when the pistol fired and looking out of a win dow upstairs Swo or three minutes after the shot fired she saw John Lee riding horse and leading a mule, passing her house and going in the direction of his nome. The boy swore he was in John Lees yard when the shot was fired and immediately afterward saw Lee coming toward his house leading horse and a mule..

 Miss Dicie Taylor corroborated Annie Ligon's testimony to the effect that when she saw Holland coming with the pistol she ran and bolted the door, and later came out in the front yard and told Mrs. Putnam that Webb had gotten the pistol
 At the conclusion of the rebuttal testi- mony court adjourned until tomorrow, when the arguments will begin.

INDEPENDENTS
 WANT 4 TICKET Morgan May Have Three Cor
 nered Fight DECATURS ARE GROWING Mrs. L. w. Barton Dies After Months Illness With Appendicitis-District Masons To Meet In Con-
 ference.

Decatur. August 3.-(Special)- in-
 dications are that there will be an in- dependent ticket in the field in this coun- | ty this fall. In some localities there is
 strong talk of nominating men for all the
 county offices. There is already county democratic and county republican ticket
 in the field, but there are a number of distinguished men of each of the old parties who say they will not vote either
 ticket and that they favor the nomina- tion of a county ticket independent of
 both. These men say that they are tired
 of doing the bidding of the old party
 bosses and that they think the time has come when the people and not the po-
 litica1 bosses should rule.
 There are here a number of men re-
 gardless of past political affiliations who say they will support the independent
 national ticket nominated in Chicago i few days ago.
 However this may be there is but lit-
 tie doubt of democratic victory in the
 county this fall The democratic vote
 of the county is about 25OO republican
 about 800 and socialist about 300. These
 figures are DdSeu Ou past IeSuilS, Slill the independents feel that they would i be able to muster up enough votes in
 the county to elect county ticket. Lawrence county, the county which
 joins this county on the west, has al-
 ready nominated an independent county ticket and these candidates, it is said, will make a thorough canvass of the county before the election this fall. In spite of the hard times and the general money panic the Decaturs con- tinue to grow and thrive At this time a number of handsome residences are being erected in various parts of the
 city and much public improvements in
 the way of streets and sidewalks is be-
 ing done. The Baptists are also building
 in Decatur a $20,00O church edifice which will be one of the handsomest in the
 city.
 The Development company of the De- caturs is doing much toward inducing factories to locate here and at this time Is in correspondence with a number of
 large plants, which are desirous of To- eating here.
 Decatur is spending thousands of dol
 lars in street and sidewalk improvements
 and New Decatur will also soon com
 mence work on the building of a number
 of streets.
 Mrs. l.. w. Borton died last night at her home in New Decatur, after an ill.,
 ness of month with appendicitis. The remains were taken to Warsaw, Ind, this afternoon for interment.
 i Mrs. Borton was very prominent in church and society circles of the Deca- l turs. Her husband, l.. w. Borton, Is president of the Decatur Cornice and
 Roofing company, one of the largest in- dustrial plants in New Decatur. The Bortons have resided in New Decatur for
 the past 20 years and is one of the most prominent families of that city. The District Masonic conference will be
 held in Decatur on August Il, F and 13 Some of the most prominent Masons of
 this district and of the state will be present The conference will close with
