woman Dies From Bone in Throat

Mrs. Mamie Westfal. who resides on
Chapel road, died ON Wednesday morn
ing from the effects caused by the lodg-
ing of a bone in her throat about TWO
weeks ago.
At the time of the accident, Mrs. west
fall thought little of the matter, but
the bone caused so much pain as TO make
an operation necessary. Mrs. Westfali
was taken to the Tabernacle infrmary'
where the operation was performed,
small bone about an inch in length being
removed from her throat on Friday
At first she seemed to rally from the
effects of the operation, but unfavorable
conditions set in and she died early on
Wednesday morning. Mrs. Westfall sur
fered greatly from the effects of the lodg-
ment of the bone in her throat until
the operation for it's removal was per-
formed. ..---.~
She is survived by her husband, J. A
westfan, a six-year-old son, three broth
eFs, ]. E. oxford, of Atlanta; Walter
and John Oxford, of Dalton, Ga, and two
sisters, Mrs. A. z. Bearden, of Atlanta.
and Mrs. Ollie Ingraham, of Colorado.

Miller Dropped Dead Near HON,

While out for a breath of fresh air
Wednesday morning at o'clock NJ. r.
Miller dropped dead in the yard of his
residence at 72 Fulton Terrace. 1t was
an hour later before his dead body was
found by Tony Farmer, his son-in-law
who resided in the same house.
AS far as is known Mr.. Miller was in
perfect health. He had never complained
and on Tuesday was at his work as us
ual. Tuesday evening he came home at
the usual time and made no complaint
as to feeling bad. He retired early and
during the first part of the night slept
very soundly. Early Wednesday morn
ing, however. he seemed to grow restless
and at o'clock arose, dressed and went
out of his room to get fresh air.
After half an hour had passed and
Mr.. Miller did not return to his room his
son-in-law grew restless and decided to
make an investigation. After dressing
he went out into the yard in the rear
of the residence and after a prolonged
search found his father-in-laW cold in
death. He had been dead for about an
hour when found. Every effort was made
to revive him by his family but all prov
ed in vain.
Mr.. Miller was 81 years of age and a
well known resident of the city. He had
lived here many years and numbered
his friends by the hundreds. He was
employed at the shoe shop of ]. D. King,
SO Decatur street. Mr.. Miller is survived
by the following children: Mrs. Tony
Farmer, Mrs. Minnie Martin, Miss Annie
Miller and SAM, Clinton and Arthur Mil

Pc Duffey Forfeits His Bond

BUENA VISTA. Ga, May AT the
superior court of Marion county, held
last week, Professor p E. Duffey, OF
Jonesboro, who had been indicted by the
grand jury for criminal libel on a charge
sworn out against him by Hon. E. III.
McMichael member of the Legislature
from this county, failed to appear in
court, and thereby forfeited his bond of
$500.
1t will be remembered that during the
last session OF the legislature, Professor
Duffey severely attacked Representative
McAIichaeTs personal and official charac-
ter. Mr. McNfichael was at that time
chairman of the house committee on ed
ucation and was one of the authors of
the bill to reorganize the state board OF
education. 1t was this that prompted the
anger of Professor Duffey and caused
him to criticise Mr.. McMichael.
Mr.. McMichael finally tired Of the crit
icisms and had Professor Duffey arrested
on the charge of criminal libel. The grand
fury of the county afterwards indicted
him. At the meeting of court last week,
the prosecution was ready but Mr.. Duff
few failed to show up, which caused the
forfeiture of his bond.
Mr. McMichael's many friends in this
county have always had and still have the
highest regard for his ability and his
character, and have always thought that
he would ultimately win out in this con-
troversy.

Mrs. Flanders was the leading witness
against Giddens in the preliminary hear
ing before u. 5. Commissioner Powell

herself after her husband died, that the
COW that was killed belonged to a little
boy and not to her or her husband, and
that her husband could not have author

and influential family, and his arrest

fixed at $50 for his appearance before

Original Lessees Not Responsible

An instance or the old convict lease sys-
tenn in Georgia was revived by the state
court of appeals Tuesday when decision
was handed down in the case OF alleged
injury to convict while employed I'M
der the former lease decision.
The case was that of Mason, by his
next friend, against Handy Toomer,
former convict lessees. Mason commended
that he was originally leased to Handy
& Toomer by the state and was after
ward sub-let to the Southern Steel COM
pany. He claims. that while in their SER
vice, he was ordered to work in dan
gerous position by one Of the bosses, and
that physical injuries resulted.
The court of appeals held that Handy
& Toomer, the original lessees, were
blameless and that IL Mason had cause
for any action, it should have been
brought against the Southern Steel COM
pany, or the boss" who was alleged TO
have been responsible for his injuries.

in farming should rotate his crops, and
then there will be land to prepare in the
fall of the year. With corn at dollar
a bushel and meat so high you can almost
taste the, coin that pays for it, you ought
to rotate your crops and have corn land
to pillow, and wheat and oats land to
sow. and it strikes me that Providence
has been teaching farmers a lesson on the
time to prepare land for cultivation, and
also teaching them to keep their meat
shop out of the west. when they can
raise corn and grass right at home to
