Bowie discharged his rifles. His last
shot was gone and a Mexican rushed

Major Evans died in the act of fir

The $50 heroes of the Alamo were all
dead, and Santa Ana, coming forward,
ordered the bodies piled together and

The Slaughter of the Beeves.

Santa Ana paid an awful price for
his victory at the Alamo. For the $50
Texans he had to bury 1,400 of his
men. But his army was large enough
to enable him to march on TO Goliad
and with little effort capture Col. Fan
min and his 500. A few days later he
divided the prisoners into two squads,
and told the one that they were to be
taken away to be exchanged, and the
other that they were going out to
slaughter beeves for the provision of
the men. The squads were
marched in opposite directions, and
when they had proceeded little ways,
they were ordered to be seated on the
ground to rest. Mexican officers passed
along the lines of guards, and in low
voices gave orders as to what should
be done. Then sharp command rang
out, and a bullet burned thru the back
of each Texan from Mexican rifles only
two PAGES away. The Texans tumbled
over in their awful agony and she

APPOINTEE OUSTED
FROM OFFICE
DECISION OF SUPREME COURT
ShaCkeIfOrd Loses Athens
JudgeShip

Atlanta, May 16.-Under a decision
of the state supreme court just rem
dered in the case of T. ]. Shackelford
VS.. H. S. West, involving a contest
over the judgeship of the city court of
Athens, all of the appointments made
by Gov. Hobe Smith list summer and
which the state senate failed and re-
fused to confirm, are void.
Mr.. Shacqelford was appointed
Judge of the city court of Athens to
succeed Judge H. S. West, whose term
expired September 81, 1911.
When the senate refused to consid-
err it and adjourned, Gov. Smith, on
September IS, declared a vacancy eX-
listed in the office and appointed Mr..
Shackelford Judge, swore him in and
gave him commission
Judge West refused to turn over the
office, and Mr.. Shackelford brought
quo warranto proceedings. He lost
in the superior court and likewise in
the supreme court decision.
The supreme court holds that where
an officer is appointed by the gov
ernor and the law requires confrma-
ton by the senate, the term of the
incumbent does not expire at the end
of such term, but he holds over until
his successor is lawfully commission
ed and qualified.
Moreover, the court holds that an
appointee does not become the success
sor of another in such an Office by
mere appointment.

COrdele Negro Hinged.

Cordele, Ga, May 16.-At 12:49 yes
terday John Ward, the sheriff, said
good bye to Tom McCrary, and, re-
ceiving clear answer, sprung the
trap. McCrary killed a white man
named Clarence Beasley and wounded
Lawrence Beasley, his brother. The
case was hard fought through all the
courts, but without avail, and the gov
ernor on being appealed to declined
to vary from his usual rule, refusing
clemency to the negro. McCrarys
last admonition to his race was to live
right, and thus avoid his fate.

GROWS TRUCK HERE
MOST SUCCESSFULLY
Showing How PrOfitabIy 1t Is
Done

What can be done in the way or
truck raising near Americas is being
successfully demonstrated by Mr.. B.
F. Capien at his farm a mile out on
the Smithville road. Mr. Capien came
to Americas from Fort Valley and
purchased the Schumpert residence
with six acres which are in high
state of cultivation.
He raises truck and pecans almost
exclusively. and already has sold re-
Gently 100 worth of vegetables in
Americas, principally potatoes and
onions, which can scarcely be MISSED.
He believes that more money can b.
made on his six acres devoted to
truck growing than upon a two-horse
cotton farm.

Mr.. Coventry says that the Edgeley

tended on west from Edgeley, across
Logan county at point about I

the old Grayton Landing, where it
