The lower end of Cotton avenue

ton is expected.
Cotton avenue is paved almost it's
entire lcrrth already with the creo-
soted blocks as far down as Wheeler
street, and one block further on the
brick pavement will begin.
This slight change is due to the
fact that at The point mentioned there

hand, 25 years old, suspected of the
murder of Mrs. Mary Mormer, her

and her son, Arthur ]. Mormer, that
he was captured today and is being
held by the authorities at Defreest-

The bodies of the four persons were
found wedged beneath the flooring II
barn where twenty-five COWS were
stabbed.
Denado, protesting his innocence,
was trailed to Pittsfield, Mass. He
was the only one employed on the
Mormer place. Denado came to work
on the Mormer farm September /,
having been hired from an Albany
employment agency.
The three women, Mrs. Mormer,
Edith and Blanche, were ambushed,
and slain with a hatchet.
Arthur Mormer, the son, entered
the barn where the quadruple crime
was committed and attempted to save
the life of his Oldest sister. He was
overpowered however, and slain after
a struggle.
According to signs in the barn,
there must have been terrific strug-

The report of the medical officers

ADDITIONAL AID FROM
COUNTY FOR LIBRARY
Grand Jury Recommends In.
creased Appropriation

High recognition of the meritorious
work that is being done by the Car
negie Library is seen in the recon-
mendation made by the recent grand
jury that the petition of the Carne-
gle Library Association for an in
crease Of the monthly contribution
made by the county to that work be
raised from $25 to $50 per month.
The large number of members of
the library speaks eloquently for ex-
cellent work that is being done by
this agency for public good, and the
interest shown by these members in
the library has proved at all times n
matter of great encouragement to
the officials of the library and tn
Library association.
The average number of members
that have been recruited for the Ii
brary from among the country resi-
dents since the privileges OF the IL
brary were first extended to them, is
about As members per month.
These figures themselves are elo-
quent with the support that is being
given to the library by the country
residents of Sumter county.
1t is hoped that every resident of
the county who can do so will avail
himself of the privileges now offered
in this particular. The increased ap-
preparation from the county is very
much needed by the library, as the
rapid growth of the membership list
recently has made imperative the ad-
dition of many volumes in order to
have a presentable selection of books
ready for those who wish them. With
this additional aid from the county,
the work of the library, which has
been so helpful in the past, should
be greatly stimulated.

Yesterday dawned with a cold pen
etrating rain, but in Atlanta it was
showing, and in Pensacola there was

Americus got the best of it.
The western storm area is now
causing rain throughout all the
Southern states except North Caro-
lima It's main center is over Okla
homa, while a secondary center is in
the east gulf coast near Pensacola.
A maximum wind of 80 miles an
hour, with heavy rain, occurred
along the west Florida. coast Tuesday
night. Heavy rains occurred in all
the gulf states.
Cold weather prevails throughout
the north and east, the high pressure
area over northeastern sections NOV
ing very slowly. Another cold wave
appears over the north Pacific states,
but is too far west yet to say what
it's influence will be in eastern sec
tions.
The storm area is expected to
cause rain in Georgia today, followed

any other cases Of the violation of
laws.
And the grand jurors are not slow
to place the blame for the lack of en-
forcement Of the law The officers
whose duty it is to enforce the law
are at fault, is the way in which the
grand jury places the matter before
the people. Evidence to convict can
not be obtained, because these off
GERS shift the responsibility from one
to another, so that the entire matter
is left in hopeless confusion.
The explanation of the failure 0f
the officers to apprehend the violat-
ors of the prohibition law is attrib-
uted by the grand jury to either of
two causes. The first is that the
whiskey sellers are much shrewder
than the officers of the law, if indeel,
the officers are truly diligent in the
performance of their duties. The 9th
er explanation is Indifference, which
is termed by the grand jury as neg
lect of duty.
1t will be seen from this that the
grand jury has faced the matter #
the violation of the prohibition law
here in a frank and fearless manner,
and that an effort has been made 0y
that body to place the blame for the
violations of the law where they be-
long With the addition, perhaps, Of
the statement that it is difficult to Sc
cure a conviction for whiskey selling
even when the matter has been plac-
ed before trial jury, the statement
of the matter as made by the grand
jury would have been a complete one
with reference to the conditions pre-
vailing in Sumter county.
From the list compiled by the
grand jury it is seen that there are
thirteen retail liquor dealers Ii
cense held by various persons and
firms in Sumter county. With refer
ence to the near beer dealers, the
grand jury made the following state
ment: I'VE are constrained to add
that it is our information that a
vender of near beer does not require
a retail liquor dealers license, the Ii
cense for such business being retail
malt liquor dealers license"

QUANTITIES OF WHISKEY RECEIVED
in THE CITY FOR ILLEGAL SALES
50 DECLARES PESNENS OF The GRAND JURY "OFFCERS SHIFT The
RESPONSIBILITY IN SUCH MANNER THAT The MATTER IS LEFT IN
EXIRlCABLE CONFUSION" DIFFICULT TO find TRUE BILLS

" We have used all means within our
power to collect evidence in refer
ence to the illegal sale of liquor. Our
Investigations show that large guam
titles of whiskey are being received IN
the city for illegal sale, but when the
attempt is made to focus the evidence
upon any particular person, it is diff
fcult to find a true bill. The officers
whose duty it is to aid us in getting
evidence to convict, shift the respon-
sibility from one to another in such
a manner that the matter is left in
inextricable confusion. 1t appears
that there are two forces which should
consistently be opposed to each other,
to-wit, the liquor men on the one
hand, and the public officers on the
other. The former are much shrewd-
er than the latter, assuming that the
latter are truly diligent in the per
formance of their duties. The only
other alternative is Indifference,
which amounts to negligence of duty
on the part of the public officers"
In the foregoing words the grand
jurors of Sumter county who served
in that capacity during the last ses-
sion of the Superior court epitomize
the situation in Americus and Sum-
ter county with reference to the viz
lations of the prohibition law which
have come under their observation.
The statement of conditions as
shown in the presentments is
most truthful one, according to many
who have been heard to express their
views concerning this matter. Ac-
cording to the statement by the grand
jurors, large shipments of whiskey
are being sent into Americus for il
legal sales. The inference from this
is that the whiskey sent to Americus
is sold here or in the surrounding
territory.
1t is when the matter is brought
down to a question of the apprehen>
sion of the individual, declare the
presentments, that the failure of the
of the prohibition law is
manifest. 1t is difficult to find true
bill against sellers of liquor, accord
ing to the statement made in the pre-
sentiments. More difficult, it seems,
than the finding of true bill in
