To JAIL SHERIFF
Head County Official, lmpIi-
Gated in Killing, Awaits
Arrival of Coroner.

FRANKLIN, GA, Nov. 90.-The
sheriff's brother is in jail and the sher-
if is under arrest, awaiting the arrival
of the coroner to lock him up, as the
result of a shooting ARRAY at Thanks
giving party six miles from Franklin,
in the interior of Heard county. The
host of the party is dead and his son
seriously wounded.
The shooting took place at the home
of Frank McWhorter where the party
was held In the midst of the festivi-
ties an argument arose between Sher-
if H. L. Taylor and his brother, DaW-
son Taylor, on the one side, and Frank
McWhorter and his son, Lynn, on the
other. The Taylors had been invited to
the party but are alleged to have come
under the influence Of liquor, to which
the MCWhorters objected. The argu-
ment started when the Taylors We're
asked to leave. 1t became so warm
that Dawson Taylor, 1t is alleged, pulled
his pistol and shot both MCWhOrters,
killing the father.
Others at the party took the Taylors
in charge and brought them to Frank
lin. Dawson Taylor was locked in Jail
Immediately, but there was no one in
town with authority to lock up the
officer. Coroner Sam Jackson, living
ten miles in the country, was notified
and is expected here this afternoon to
take charge of the Jail and imprisOn
the sheriff.

PURITY Of CITY
WATER PERILED
Experts Declare Open Vaults
Near Reservoir Menace
Health of All Atlanta.

DR.. Claude A. Smith and DR.. j. r
Kennedy, Atlanta's health officers, are
preparing a letter to the water board
today in which they severely condemn
the existence Of the open vaults around
the water reservoir at the city pump
ing station.
The doctors maze an inspection of
the conditions yesterday. They decIar-
ed that the purity of the city's entire
water supply was endangered.
Following The Georgian's editorial on
this situation, the members of the wa
ter board have decided to renew thcis
fight before council to get the land
on which these vaults are located.
Several Vaults Near Reservoir.
Commissioner w. j. Davis, who is
leading the fight declared that the
board would either get funds to pur-
chase the land or ii would let every
citizen of Atlanta know that the mem
bers Of council are responsible for the
existing peril to the water supply.
Several Of the vaults border on the
coagulating basins, which is the first
part of the filtration system. The 9TH
ers border on the big reservoir. There
are about fifteen vaults on property
that drains toward the stored water
1T is ridiculous for the city not to
control all the water shed around its
reservoirs said DR.. Claude A. Smith.
1T would be difficult for me to CON
denim too strongly the conditions
around the waterworIs plant"
w. u. Smith, general manager of wa
terWorks, said the water board repeat-
eddy had urged council to provide funds
for the purchase of this land He said
there was about $4,000 ATTAINED from
the sale OF water bonds which would
be a good start on the purchase price
of all the property desired.
Money Available, Declares Smith.

Dr. Visanska believes Atlanta needs

ket, in spite of the present system OF
inspections and regulations. He favors
the establishment of a Walker Cor
don" laboratory, similar to those now
operated in sixteen Eastern cities,
which will furnish milk for infants use.
This milk is prepared to meet certain
specifications on Il physicians prescrip-
tion and can be made to suit the indi-
vidual need of any child. Such a labo-
ratory could be established by the
Chamber of Commerce, the city or by a
private firm or corporation.

Another member Of the committee

against cup Of cold coffee given him,
this being the only time he has uttered
word Since he shot his wife to death
on the night Of May u last. Since the
