\ Young Neg . 'ts.s+d With the Brutal
Mucd,r OF al Old N,g'o.
HEAD BEATEN 10 A PULP.
The Dead Rotly of the Old Man Was
Found in a Ditch Where 1t Had
Been Dragged by the Person Who
had Foully Murdered Him.

AS a result OF an inquest held hate
Sunday afternoon over the bloody no.
mains OF Jake Wallace. an old ana,
half-witted negro. near Langley. thst
Lacy, q, young negro. Is in the AlAen,
jeil charged with one OF the m0sti
foul murders in the history OF AtheH
county. ,;,N
Late Saturday the body of, Wa,laea.
was found In the woods about 3eAs
yards from the home Of Ben Hanhdh;
son, white man, near Lamar,s faa-
l.. be 3, by some boys who were ope;,
hunting. Their dogs trailed the
body and directed them, to. 1t. The
boys were frightened. and immedi-
ately gave the alarm. -.
Before finding the body, they had
picked up a razor aud pistol. bat !,
neither had been used In killing the
old man, and it is presumed that
they felix Of his pocket. The pis-
tol was loaded, but had not been
fred At first it was not believed
that there had been murder, as aln,.
Investigation was not made. until taG:
ter midnight, when the surroundings
could not be fully taken into eenr
sideration. ~
Sunday morning the investigation
was resumed, and everything pointed;
to foul murder. It was found thaE,
Oh Saturday old man Wallace was aa
Pope Norris blacksmith shop anG.
that Jim Lacy can,e up in aybuglgys
b''"hing his mule. In q few minutes,
I'D man, who was about IS years
old, went away in the direction os
where he was killed.
Jim Lacy started In the same d.
1ection, and two witnesses state that
they saw him catch up with the ,ta,f
man a short distance from the shop,
The indications are that the old MAN
was killed a few minutes later. Lacy
admits talking with the old man at
the shop, but says he left him there,
and he says he was at the shop bat
ten minutes, whereas other witnesses
say that his mule was tied there As
minutes or an hour.
The murder was evidently COM
mitted in the public road. as the
scene Of difficulty is plainly visible,
The instrument used was something
blunt, evi emily club. and the old;
mans head was beaten almost to- a.
pulp. After the heinous crime had
been committed the perpetrator
dragged the body some $50 yards.
and threw 1t into a ditch, where It.
was found by the boys q short time
later.
A fact that may have some bear
ing on the murder is that on Sunday
the old man was to have been mar
ried to a woman residing near there.
Nothing of any value was found on
the old mans body.

SEEING WASHINGTON AT THE
E.li.ESsE OF UNCLE sam.
i';,cy Pass in Front of the Agricul-.
tural building and Have Their
Picture Taken.

The prize corn boys are having a
big time in Washington at the ex-
rense OF Uncle Sam. The Washing
ton corresI oudent Of The News and
Courier says eleven boys from as
many Southern States, each boy with
an ear of corn In his hand, posed
sor q picture in front Of the big
building Of the agricultural depart
ment Tuesday. They vete the State
prize .wtnnars iai 1.-The .Boyg Corn Club
conteeta OF tho year, and Jerry
Moore, OF South Carolina, wae the
pI Iesident Of the lot. lh each OF the
states represented boys had worked
each O measured acre Of land, plant
ed in corn. The best yield In each
State had taken the arst prize. and
the boys, none Of whom IS over Is,
we're on a trip to Washington, where
they were to be introduced to the
President and the Secretary Of Agri-
culture and then be shown the sights
o. the city.
It was the elimination Of the
years work. a work the Importance
Ct which can scarcely be overesti-
mated. 1t has alreasy awakened the
South to the knowledge that 1t can
raise corn and make money by It.
The older farmers are being startled
by the way the boys are beating them
on the corn club idea and 1t Ia hav-
Ing , Q material effect on the corn
Of the whole South.
The successful boys from each
State were not always the ones that
raised the biggest crops. The de-
partnent Of agriculture, In outlining
the contest, made 1t requisite that
the largest crop shouli be raised
with the least expenditure. The high
score in the whole group was made
by Jerry Moore. But he was not
considered the most successful. He
had raised 22s a-< bushels. but 1t
had cost him 43 cents q bushel to
DO 1t. There was a boy from Arkan-
sss who raised only 119 bushels, but
he did It at cost of 8 cents a bushel.
He. was considered the real thing in
corn clubdom.'

Whole Country Is stirred.

One OF the most interesting reports
at the recent meeting of the National
Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis was that OF
the executive secretary, DR.. Livingston
Farrand, showing the growth Of the
anti-tuberculosis movement since May
l, 1909. The number of associations
for the prevention of consumption has
increased from 900 to over 425; the
number of sanatoria and hospitals for
the treatment of tuberculosis Is from
298 to 400; and the special tuberculosis
dispensaries from 222 to 265. During
the year 1909. thirty-six out OF forty
three legislatures In session con
sidered the subject OF tuberculosis,
and in %. bills were passed for the
prevention or treatment of this dis
ease. Since the opening of the legis-
lative season Of 1910, out of ten legis-
latures in session up to May I, all
have considered the subject Of tuber.
culosis and every one of them has
enacted some laH that bears on this
subject.

Rob Mount Pleasant (Mleh.) Post
Office of $4,000 In Cash and
Stamps and Escape.

Saginaw, Mich.-Bandits, masked
and mounted, Thursday blew the post
Office safe at Mount Pleasant, a city
of 5000, securing $4,000 in stamps and
money and terrorizing the entire town.
The robbers, numbering seven or
eight, are believed to have halted near
the south limits until their plans were
complete. when they rode through the
main street In old-time border FASH
ion, shooting and shouting. Secret
service men took up the trail and 1t is
believed that arrests are imminent.
The post office often contains as high
as $4,000 IN cash and stamps.
The police believe the post ONCE
safe had been blown and rified before
the robbers began shooting and that
they would have made their escape
less spectacularly had it not been for
the noise made by the explosion OF
