WHITE MAN MAY
BE LYNCHEO BY
CAMDEN PEOPLE
o'BERRY TO BE RUSHED TO THIS
CITY TODAY FOR SAFE
KEEPING.
Murdered Negro Woman and Her
Daughter and When Placed in Jail
overpowered Jalor and Escaped,
But Was Captured.

l.. A. O'Berry, a Camden county
desperate, who on Wednesday nigh
killed two negroes near Kingland, will
probably be brought to Brunswick
this morning and placed in the Glynn
county Jail for safekeeping. In Cam
den yesterday there was serious talk
of lynching among the white and COL
ored people, and it is considered un-
safe to keep the murderer in the
Camden Jail at st. Marys, from where
he has already escaped once since
he committed the double murder.
According to information received
in the city from Camden yesterday,
on Tuesday O'Berry saw a negro wo-
man by the name of Mary Randolph
cash check for quite a large sum
of money and he then planned to rob
her, so it developed later.
Tuesday night the woman was
robbed and killed. Some one visited
the house and murdered the woman
together with her 13-year- old daugh-
ter. All evidence caused suspicion
to be placed on O'Berry and he was
on Wednesday arrested by the Off
GERS. A search was made aid it is
understood that $3S in greenbacks was
found in the mans mouth. He was
chewing tobacco in order to mislead
the officers, but they noticed that his
mouth seemed to be rather, full for a
chew of tobacco and upon making
him open it the money was found.
1t had been rolled up into a small
wad by O'Berry and placed in the
corner of his mouth. This is thought
to be some of the money stolen from
the negro woman.
The white man was arrested and
carried to st. Marys, where he was
placed in the county jail. Yesterday
according to a report received in the
city last night, when the jailor went
into O'Berrys cell during the day he
made a desperate fight to escape.
Overpowering the jailor the man sue
ceeded and was at liberty for short
time, when he was recaptured and
again placed in jail
Feeling against the white man ran
high and there were many threats of
lynching, the whites and blacks both
indulging in the talk 1t was stated
that mob was being formed to lynch
the white man, but whether or not
their intention was carried out is not
yet known. 't 7r'~Te'

umes of information on drainage from
the best state laws now enforced in

formation and embodying his own
ideas on the subject, Judge Sweat
drafted a bill that has been pro-
nounced the best of all by government
experts.
The legislative committee approved
in every way of the bill prepared by
Judge Sweat. Too much credit can
not be given to the chairman of this
committee for his untiring efforts in
behalf of the drainage measure, nor
can the officers Of the Georgia Drain
age congress- be given more thanks

work.
Just what the enactment of the
drainage bill will do for Georgia re-
mains to be seen. 1t Is certain that
agricultural interests will jump won

can be drained has steadily Increased

gia Drainage congress. and the pas

add to the impetus. y

WILEY AGAIN
GETS THE BEST
Of HIS ENEMIES
PURE FOOD EXPERT TELLS OF
SPECIFIC EFFORTS TO I'M
POSE UPON PUBLIC.
Underhand Work in Behalf of Corn
Products Company Shown in the
Long, Hard Battle.

Washington, Aug. 17.-Dr. Harvey
w. Wiley, pure food expert, today
added another sensation to the inquiry
of the house of representatives into
agricultural department affairs, when
he declared that a ruling adverse to
the so-called corn syrup" manufac-
turing interests, promulgated by the
bureau of chemistry, the food and
drug inspection board and Secretary
Wilson himself had suddenly been
changed into favorable opinion
without the subject being referred to
him or his associates.
Money for Chemicals.
Wiley charged that the manufac-
turers of this product had offered
money to prominent commercial
chemist of the United States to Sc
cure opinions supporting their conten-
ton that corn syrup" was a proper
name for glucose. The food and
drug inspection board, endorsing the
bureau of chemistry, found that corn
syrup" was an illegal label on glu-
cose. "All the board joined in the
decision" Wiley said, "and the de-
cision was approved by Secretary
Wilson. This decision went to the
printing office and was set up and
proofs taken, but it was never sent
out.
Contrary Decision.
Later an exactly contrary decis-
ion was published by three members
Of the cabinet vested with jurisdic-
tom in such matters, as a pure food
decision under the food and drugs
! act. In intervals between the prep
aration of our decision and publica-
tion of the ruling by the three secre-
taries, know that the corn product
company was very busy. They tried
to get certificates from chemists, one
of whom later became a member OF
the pure, food referee board, to show
that corn syrup was proper term for
glucose.
"1n one case chemist informed
me he had been offered money for
such an opinion, but referred it. When
| learned this | wrote all state chem
/ lists in the country, charged with en-
| forcing pure food laws, and put it uI
! to them to say whether this was a
proper label. Every one answered in
the negative, and they were not Of
fered any money by me or anyone"
Corn Mems Protest.
Wiley said the president of the
corn products company protested to
the board of three cabinet officers, de-
clarng Wiley's appeal to the state
chemists was unfair. Wiley was asked
by Secretary Wilson to state what he
ifad dopessand hessupplied the secre-
tary with Ibis letter to- the chemists
and with a brief to show corn syrup
was an illegal LABEL. =
THAT brief was furnished to the
corn products company" said Wiley
''but Mr. Emery, food commissioner
of Wisconsin, had extreme difficulty
in getting a copy of it, and had to
appeal to a member of congress foi
assistance"
Wiley added. that the decision Of the
three secretaries. which took the
place of the withdrawn decision OF
the agriculture department, still re-
| mains in force

Atlanta, Aug. 17.-In refusing a

instance 1t is all right to kill bur-
glar, but it is murder to kill a man
in watermelon patch, for stealing
watermelons is only a misdemednor.

Lo. the Rich Indian.

The per capita wealth Of the Indian
is approximately $2,130, that for other
Americans is only little more than
$1,000. The lands owned by the IN
dams are rich in oil, timber and other
natural resources of all kinds. Some
of the best timber land in the United
States is owned.by Indians.
The value of their agricultural lands
runs up in the millions. The ranges
which they possess support about $780,
900 sheep and cattle, owned by lessees,
bringing in a revenue of more than
$4,000 to the various tribes besides
providing feed for more than 1,500,00
head of horses, cattle, sheep and goats
belonging to the Indians themselves.
Practically the only asphalt deposits
in the United States are on Indian

not fancy our reply printed in various news

some interesting facts came out.
Some of the chemical and medical experts
Uttered widely.
The following facts, however, were quite
clearly established:
Analysis of brain by an unquestionable
thority Geoghegan, shows of Mineral Salts,
Phosphoric Acid and Potash combined (Phos-
plate of Potash, 2.91 per cent of the total,
533 of all Mineral Salts
This is over one-half.
Beaunis, another authority shows "Phos-
phoric Acid combined" and Potash 1914 per
cent from a total of 10107
Considerable more than one-half of Phos-
plate of Potash
Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium
and Phosphorus, (Which join and make Phos-
plate of Potash), is considerable more than
onehalf of all the mineral salts in the food.
Dr. Geo. w. Carey an authority on the con-
stituent elements of the body, says: 1.-THE
gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely
by the inorganic cell-salt, Potassium Phosphate
phosphate of Potash). This salt unites with
albumen and by the addition of oxygen creates
nerve fluid or the gray matter of the brain.
Of course, there is a trace of other salts and
other organic matter in nerve fluid but Potas-
SUM Phosphate is the chief factor, and has
the power within itself to attract. by it's own
