WHITECAPPERS CONVICTED
WAS ONE OF BAND WHO RAN
NEGROES OFF OF FARMS.
Two Murderers Are Also Convicted i'm
Miller County, and One Sentenced
to Hang Thanksgiving Day.


Solicitor Laing returned home from
Colquitt Saturday after one of the
busiest and most interesting sessions
of Miller superior court that had
been held in years.
Among the important cases dis
posed of, and one which had stirred
up the county, was that against Re
mus Widner and others for white
Gaping, the charge being assault
with intent to murder. 1t seems
that a certain class of white people
about five miles north of Colquitt
determined among themselves that
no negroes should live on certain
places. Some Of them presented pc
titiOns to land owners to put negroes
off their places, agreeing to allow
those who signed to keep their negro
labor this year, but to get rid of
them after this year. Then a band
of about a dozen got together one
night in September, visited the home
of a negro, Coon DIN, who lived on
the plantation of F. E. Fudge, one of
the wealthiest citizens of the county,
and taking him out Of his home car
ried him into-a pond, where they shot
him several times, six shots taking
effect, leaving him there for dead.
Then they got his wife and beat her
numerically. The next day war
rants were sworn out for six or seven
by Mr.. Fudge, and he later received
an anonymous letter threatening to
burn his property and himself if he
did not withdraw his charges. The
jury returned verdict of guilty
against Widner.
against Widner The same verdict
was also returned against Jim Smith,
Will KiTksey and Clayton Gibson,
whose trials and convictions followed
Widner's. Each was sentenced by
Judge Worrill to six and a half years
in the penitentiary.
Aus Tolivar, negro, charged with
numbering another negro, Joe Allen,
was tried and a verdict of guilty was
rendered without recommendation
The defendant waylaid the murdered
man coming from a negro frolic and
killed him with a shotgun. The ne
gro was sentenced to be hanged on
November Goth. This will be the
second hanging in Miller county in
the past 25 years.
Another negro was convicted of
numbering a white man named Colly.
He was recommended to the mercy
of the court and was sentenced to
life Imprisonment.

Their Profit Being Compost.
The following article from a recent
issue o. the Elberton Star should be
of interest and value to the farmer
readers of The News:
Several carloads of fine Tennessee
steers have been shipped to Elberton
recently. Some of the best farmers
in the county are buying them out
right for the purpose of fattening
them on cotton seed bulls and meal
and selling them again The main
tnlng they are wanted for is the ma
nure with which to permanently i'm
prove the soil. Among those who
nave bought a carload each are
Messrs. Sam Adams, Will Burch, Mel
YIN thornton and G. w. Parker Mr.
D. j. Carithers will leave Saturday
LOT tennessee, where he will buy two
carloads of large steers to fatten.
These gentlemen have already
Ifled the plan of buying these steers
ana buying the feed to fatten them
WIN The result of the experience Of
one OF them is probably fair sam
PIE and is given for what it is worth.
Last year Mr.. c. w. Parker fed 40
steers until they were fat enough for
market u, He paid for the cattle and
SueIr feed just what he sold them
loF after they were fat. He got 215
IONS OF fine manure from the pens in
when they were fed. This manure

therefore Mr.. Parker made $645.

HerndOn, near Elberton. Some II or
years ago Mr. Herndon took lot
of cattle belonging to the Elberton
Oil Mills and fed them for the ma
nure he got, He hauled the meal and
hulls from Elberton himself. The
high state of cultivation and the pro-
ductiveness of this farm is due to
the manure put on it nearly a gener-
alton ago. This barnyard manure,
unlike the commercial fertilizers,
lasts for many years
These gentlemen who have had
some experience in buying and feed
ing cattle will doubtless make money
out Of it, where an inexperienced
man might lose money. No business
can be learned in day or year. The
printing and publishing business is a
striking illustration of this truth. 1t
requires years and years of expert
ence to attain to even a degree of eff
fiCiency, and the man who expert
ments on a big scale in this business
takes big chances of failure. 1t is
the same way with farming in it's
various departments. Better expert
ment with an acre, or a few acres,
instead of the whole farm. Better
feed few cattle at first. Any of
the gentlemen above named would
probably let any man have a half
dozen of his steers at just what they
cost him in order to let him prove
by experience that he can build up
his farm to a higher state of cultiva-
ton without the cost of cent, only

ing the cattle and hauling out the

Just a Word About
Sole Leather

YOU undoubtedly
L know that the only
way to produce old fash
Toned, long-wearing sole
leather is by laying away
in bark a sufficient length
of time to enable the fl
bres of the hide to thor
oughly knit together COM
pactly.
You also probably know that
recently it has become very
general to manufacture sole
leather by what is termed "the
quick tanning process. This
is done by forcing into the hide
extracts and adulterants by
machinery and then filling
with a glutinous substance.
You are also acquaint-
ed with the difference in
the service given by the
two methods and it is un-
necessary to further dis
cuss their merits.
The question for the
customer to decide is
which kind is he getting
in his shoes and how to
distinguish them. In the
finished product this is
practically impossible,
and he is therefore Deepen
dent on the manufacture
er.
When the consumer pays the
price for high-grade shoe he
has purchased the right to
the best leather which can be
produced.
HAYWOOD SHOES
are made with selected
soles cut from "long time
tanned oak sole leather"
and it is a guarantee that
the manufacturer is Civ
ing the best the market
affords.

A man is not bird and never can

cannot fly of his own power, nor can
he learn how to soar like bird, since
he cannot acquire the bird instinct.
That is the conclusion of the
Wrights, as the dispatches have told;

authoritative by scientists and other

papers and periodicals of the coun-
try. Just now, the financial interests
are credited with a desire to buy all
the magazines and merge them into
a trust" When that benevolent
scheme is carried out, tits said, the
"muckraklng" magazines will cease
their undertaking and will devote
their space to fiction and such articles
as do not interfere with big busi-
ness.
one of the sources of this rumor Is
the fact that the American Magazine
has been sold to the Crowell Pub
fishing company. The American was
formerly owned and edited by John
S. Phillip, with Finley Peter Dunno,
Ray Stannard Baker, Ida Tarbell and
William Allen White as associates. AS
all of these distinguished writers, 1t
is said, will continue their connec-
tion, the fear that the magazine VIII
become the organ of the interests APP
pears to be baseless. Money will buy
printing presses, but, despite the Gym
/ cal proverb that "every man has his
| price" II is n 100 to l shot that the
| millionaires Of the country have not
| enough wealth to get a lease on the
/ brains Of "Mr. Dooley" or Miss Tar
! bell or any of the other brilliant
writer's who have made American
magazines and newspapers serve the
enlivening purpose of sharp pointed
tacks in the seats of the mighty.
The apology forced from another
magazine because of a mistaken at
tack on the Standard oil company, is
also a source of JOY to those who
think American journalism amenable
to the influence of the powers that
prey. Unfortunately as was the un-
warranted allegation against the
highly moral "oil trust" 1t remains
true that those who make no mistakes
make no war.
Numerous attempts have been made
in the past to buy up magazines and
newspapers and TO use them in fight
ing the battles Of the interests against
the people at large. In practically
every case such journalistic frauds
have speedily failed There is Moth
ing to indicate that the present ru-
mors OF a periodical trust have any
, foundation. Even If the reports were
true. worry is not indicated. 1t would
mean merely that the publications in
: volved were doomed to failure, and
that others would take their place.

, probably thing of the past. The

Artificial Production OF Alcohol

The following extracts are taken
from an address delivered by the dis
coverer of dealcoholized beer before
the Institute of Brewers in London,
relative to his accidental discovery Of
the production of artificial alcohol
during one of his experiments:
Having dealcoholized absolutely
brilliant beer free from all except ul-
tra-microscopical traces Of yeast, he
continued the process by carbonic ac-
i'd gas at 120 degrees F. until the per-
centage of alcohol in the beer had
been lowered from above per cent
to 0.2 absolute.
When this beer had been dealco-
holized to 0.2 per cent it was his in
tention to present a brewer with q
sample OF his own now dealcoholized
| beer in the same sparkling condition
| in which it generally was sold in bot
| tie. He therefore froze all the beer
and proceeded to do the best he could
to carbonate it in the laboratory with
out pressure.

Young Employe of Keene

limelight. An acrimonious controSg
versy occurred in court as to whether
he had made $4,000 OF $4,000 by taking
advantage of the so-called Hooking
pool.
The boy insisted Itat he cleaned
up only $4,000 on that deal, and stuck
to this statement. The airing of his
market dealings is likely to cause
stampede into the telephone boy" busi-
ness, and give new encoura cement to
the thousands OF pikers who bury their
spare money in Wall Street graves. Sc

and sophisticated rumors. 1t seems
pity therefore that there couldn't have
come out along with Mr.. Keene's tele-

about the other telephone boys whose

nothing for them but a series OF dtml-
nutiye tombstones.
