CITY OFFICIALS ARE
SCORED BY PASTOR:
GOVERNMENT LAX

Declaring that the people are disguised
with Atlanta's government, Rev. e. Dean
Fleetwood, pastor of the First Universal
list church, strongly criticised the city
officials for many of their acts in a ser
mon last night.
They seem TO proceed on a general
happy go-lucky program" he said 1.-The
conditions of the sewers continuously
threaten us with a typhoid epidemic.
The system of penology is Dewildering
There is a lack OF provision for the care
of persons suffering with tuberculosis.
Our transportation facilities after the
curfew hour would make a visitor think
Atlanta q town of a few thousand per
sons.
THE city officials cry that we lack suf-
tc!ent revenue. The tax books will show
that central property the value of which
has been created by the people generally
is rarely assessed at more than 40 per
cent of its value, and often as low as 25
per cent"

4 SUSPECTED Of
KILLING FARMER

JONESBORO, GA, Nov. 1S.-Wiu
Edwards, Walton Henderson. VIII Lee
and Demmie Lee are today held in the
Clayton county Jail here under suspi-
cion Of causing the death of John King
a farmer about 80 years of age, whose
charred body was found in the ruins of
an clubhouse that burned late Satur-
day night near the school building at
Orr's Crossing, a small station on the
Central of Georgia railroad, three miles
south of Jonesboro The theory of Off
GERS is that King was killed in a row
over a card game and his body was
placed in the clubhouse, which was
fired to conceal the crime
Persons attracted by the fire discov-
cred a human body in the burning en-
bers. The body was almost consumed
and was beyond recognition. But by
knife and brass lamp found with the
body, it was identified as that Of King,
who lived about half a mile from the
place and who had left his home few
hours before.
Indications We're that the building
had been set on fire, and from the al
most consumed state of the body, evil
IDENTITY more fuel had been added to the
fire than that OF the frail out house.
Chief Rowan On Trail.
Early yesterday morning Chief Zach
Rowan, of the Fulton county police,
accompanied by a squad of his men
and bloodhounds, was on the scene.
The dogs and men We're soon on the
trail. The tracks Of men leading from
the burned building We're easily fol-
lowed, and resulted in the arrest Of the
four white men.
The two Lee boys are brothers and
they and Edwards live near >the scene
of the fire. Henderson lives in another
part Of this county, but is said to have
been on visit to the Lee boys.
Coroner P. H. Camp promptly held
an inquest, probing the matter nearly
all Of yesterday afternoon, and ad-
journeG to meet again this afternoon.
The theory is that the dead man and
the four under arrest. and possibly
others, were engaged in gambling. a
quarrel arose, King was killed and his
body burned in the building. There are
indications that his SOUL was crushed.
King leaves family.
