PRISONER REMOVED
TO AVOID VIOLENCE
FORMATION OF MOB FEARED
Sheriff Of oktibbeha County Took
no Chances, but Quickly Re.
moved Freeman to Place
Of Safety.

A recent special from Stark
vile says: Fearing that summa-
ry vengence might be wreaked
on an inmate of the jail. A. Free
man, Sheriff James after con-
sulting higher authorities and
deeming it advisable to take no
chances, used precautionary
measures in removing Freeman
to place Of safety. Shortly be-
fore midnight, accompanied by
Constable John Davis of Self
Creek and Night Policeman Ru-
fus Nickels, a big automobile
was chartered and the prisoner
rushed to West Point.
Jodge Carroll of this judicial
district called up the sheriff of
Clay county and ordered that of
fetal to transfer Freeman to Alb
erdeen for safe keeping. On last
Sunday Adolphls Sherman. liv-
ing near Mabea, came here and
swore out a warrant for assault
before Judge Reynolds against
Freeman. 1t is alleged that the
latter. in company with Miss
Emma Sherman, fiftern-year-old
of Mr.. Sherman, were
returning from church last Sat-
urday night. Some distance from
the home, it is alledged, Free
man asked her to marry him.
She refused, saying that she de-
sired to continue attending
He then made an inn
proper proposal which she re-
jected. He then, it is alleged,
threatened her life. and under
this intimidation accomplished
his purpose, it is said. Freeman
was a widower with -four chill
dren, two boys and two girls.
During the recent election Free
man was candidate for super
visor. The people in the western
part of the county. where the
deed was enacted, are highly
wrought up.

EXPLOIT
PRODUCTS OF SOUTH
TO HAVE EXHIBITS At FAIRS
Southern and Mobile and Ohio
Railroads Will Advertise the
Agricultural Resources
OF Dixie

Mr.. F. f. Resler, who is in
charge of the local land and in.
dustrial office of the Southern
Railway and Mobile and Ohio Rail.
road, is quite busy just now ar.
ranging for exhibits which these
two great systems will have at va
rious fairs to be held at different
points throughout the South DUR
ing the coming season.
These exhibits. which are to be
on display in Memphis, Birmipg-
ham. jackson and other cities
which annually hold fairs Of stu
pendous magnitude, will show ag-
ricultural products from ten
Southern States, and will demon
strate the many kinds of plants
that can be successfully cultivated,
thus demonstrating the fertility of
Southern soil and its adoption to
diversified farming.
Mr.. Resler was asked why the
companies which he represents
would not have an exhibit at
the annual exhition of the Missis-
sippi and West Alabama Fair AS
sociation, which is TO be held in
Columbus next month, and in re-
ply stated that exhibits would be
made only at points where State
fairs are held. However, the
fact that the railroads maintain a
land and Industrial office here may
induce them to make an exception
in favor of Columbus, and while
it is too late to secure an exhibit
for the coming fair, we may get
one next year.
While the railroads will make
no exhibit at the local fair, this
year at least, Columbus will in an
Indirect manner derive benefit
from the exhibits made at other
points. Much of the correspond
snce regarding these exhibits is
being conducted from the local
)ffice, and this of course has a
tendency to attract the attention

R0UTzAHN VOICES
PRAISES or SOUTH
HEALTH EXPERT ENTHUSIASTIC
Says He Spent Four Years In
Dixie, and That is is as Health
full as Amy Other Section
of the Country

| According to an opinion re.
Gently expressed by Z. G. Rout-
zahn, director of the American
tuberculosis Exhibit, the idea
prevailing in many parts of the
country to the effect that the
South is unhealthy is entirely
erroneous, Southern hygienic and
sanitary conditions being of a
character that compare favora-
bly, with those of any section of
Uncle Sans domain.
In an interview which recently
appeared In the Ohio State Jour-
nal Mr.. Routzhan declares that
the idea that the whole South is
impregnated with malaria is
without foundation. Malaria"
says he, has been discovered to
be the mosquito. and not bad air
or water. One can live along the
rivers of the South with the
same safety that he lives near a
Michigan lake. The night air in
Alabama or South Carolina is as
wholesome as the night air of
New York. and both are as good
as the day air in any state.
Mr.. Routzahn declares that
the South has made great prog
ress in the work of sanitation
as has the North or East. He
points to New Orleans, Men,
phis and other cities, which in
former years were visited by |
yellow fever epidemics at fire.
quent intervals. and cites the
fact that by installing sewerage
systems and other sanitary ne
cesslties these cities have freed
themselves from the periodical
visits of this deadly scourge. and
are now perennially healthy and
clean.
Columbians remember Mr..
with much pleasure.
He spent several weeks here last
spring with the exhibit which he
has in charge, and impressed our
people as being not only author
ty on hygiene and sanitation but
rs courtly and affable gentle
nan who is always sure to find a
cordial welcome from the citi.
.ens of any cultured community.

COTTON QUOTATIONS.
ABNORMALLY LOW
-
LOST TEN POINTS SATURDAY
Market Is Very Weak, and There
Seems to g no Hope Of Recu-
peration in the Near
Future

Abnormal weakness continue
to characterize the cotton mark
ct, and the week which CLOSED
Saturday witnessed a steady de
cline in prices. The market los
ten points Friday, and Satur
days session brought a similar
decline. While a decline of ter
points does not in itself amount
to much, it means heavy losses
when repeated at each days ses-
sion, and this has beeh the his
tory of the market during the
past week.
Numerous reasons are given
for the depression Of the market.
The free Offering OF Che staple
by preduc S0utheastern
states is given as one reason, and
another cause is found in the
general unsettled state of the
stock market.
The prospective yield certainly
does not warrant the low prices
now prevailing. 1t is contended
by many that the current crop
will be very little larger tnan
that harvested last year, and yet
prices are materially smaller, the
amounting to some
thing like twenty dollars a bale.
AT the c,ose of business Satur-
day afternoon New York spots
were quoted at 1896, October
futures in New York at 1856,
New Orleans spots at 10 1916
and October futures in New Or
cans at 0.49. In the local mark

CHANCERY COURT TO

DIVORCE CASES FILL DOCKET
Fall Term of Chancery Court
Begins Monday, October Ind,
Judge James r. Mecool
Presiding

When, on Monday, Octobe
End. Judge James r. McCool con
venes the fall term Of chancerl
court, he will find many cases
awaiting adjudication. Their,
seems to be a general lack of fe
licity among Lowndes county
coons who have taken upor
themselves the vows and respon.
sibilities of matrimony, and
among the cases which comprise
the docket suits for divorce, filed
by negroes, are in great prepon-
derance.
Negroes. as rule. are happy
and care-free. but when a male
and female member of the race
hook themselves up together in
the bonds of matrimony the un-
ion, instead of bringing the an
ticipated connubial bliss, often
results in discord and discomfort,
finally ending in a suit for di-
vorce. This state of affairs has
existed in Lowndes county for a
number of years, and at every
term of chancery court the chan
cellor is required to devote a
large portion of his time to list
ening to a recital of the woes of
negroes who have assumed the
marriage vows and failed to find
domestic felicity.
Decidedly the most important
case on the docket is the suit fill
ed by Mrs. Matilda Barrentine,
Randolph Barrentine ct al
against Lester David Barrentine
and Mrs, Leah Davis. in which
they seek to have set aside and
void the will of the late
Henry Barrentlne, a wealthy
citizen of the Caledonia neigh
borhood, who recently died, and
left the bulk of his property to

having bequeathed only small
egacies to other heirs.
