Allowed to Support
His Destitute Family

Atlanta, Jan. 30.--A Stripping
case in miniature developed in At
lanta this morning in connection
with the recapture of M. F. Awtry,
who escaped from the city stockade,
went into an adjoining state and liv-
ed many months under an assumed
name. Awtry had a wife and two
little children dependent on him and
to make him return to the chain
gang would have left them abso-
lutely destitute. In this case the
mans crime was not nearly as Sc
r'ous as that of the real Stripping
and Recorder Broyles suspended the
sentence, provided that the man 30
home and devote all his time to
caring for his lamily. The moment
he ceases to do his full duty, back
he goes to the gang

The forepart of the week, While the
Enterprise reporter was noslng
around for items of news, he took a
stroll down South Main Street, when
for the first time, we had the pleas
ure of taking peep at the palatlal
and handsome new home Of Mr..
Robert V. Handley. We had pre-
viously heard much fiattering com
ment in regard to the size and beau-
ty of this modern new home, so we
thought brief sketch in this family
paper might prove Of interest to the
people of Fitzgerald and Ben Hill
county.
We found Mr.. Handley at his old
home opposite the Blue and Gray
Park, and stated that we had called
to have him show lis through his
new house-and stepping into his
auto we were soon there.
The structure, which is of colonial
architecture, has an east front, with
double-deck verandas, the first be-
ing 12x44 feet, and the second lux
40 feet, and supported by four mas
sive columns. The buildings three
stories, the third floor to be used as
storage room.
On entering we found a large hall,
12x27 feet, the woodwork being
handsomely yeneered and hard Oil
finish. The ceiling is artistically
finished and a beauty in design.
The parlor on the left is entered
by pulling back a massive sliding
door that works on ball.bearing
rollers, which is easily opened and
closed. The parlor is 16x16, and a
VerltaDle little palace Dy ltSelI. 1He
room adjoining the parlor is the din
ing room, 15x18 feet.
Adjoining the dining room is the
kitchen, 14x19, with all the conven-
fences calculated to please the aver
age house wife; large range stove,
,Xhot water tank, all in position and
pfped. Between the kitchen and
dining room is the buffers pantry
7x8 feet.
On the north side of the hall, in
front, is the family sitting room, IS
x18 feet, which is artistically finish
ed. Adjoining is Mr.. Handley's pri-
waite room or "den." where he will
entertain friends who call. Adjoin-
ing this is a bed room 15x16 feet

Plant Your Trees
Before the Sap Rises
s'UncIe Charlie" Advises All Who
Expect to Plant Shade. Fruit
or Nut Trees. to Begin
Work at Once.
(From the waycross JournaD

Uncle Charlie" Redding gave the
Journal a talk on tree planting this
Imoehing, putting out shade trees on
streets where none exist being one
|of "UndcIe Charlie's Hobbies, next to
parks.
Tell everybody who expects to
plant out shade trees or trees OF any
kind this spring" said Uncle Char
|lie," to get to work right away. The
sap is nearly ready to rise and the
| trees already show signs Of budding,
this warm weather having brought
them forward rapidly. Unless the
trees are set out within the next few
days, it will be too late to move
them with safety this year. You
cant put this too strongly, for there
ale good many people who intend
planting trees who have mistaken
notion that almost any time will do
to transplant them. This is not the
case and setting trees out too late in
the season leads often to disappoipt-
ment and a great deal of useless ex-
pense and trouble"
Uncle Charlie" went on to give
some advice as to the kinds of trees
to select. Il am a crank on syca-
mores. you know" he continued, but
they grow so rapidly that can't
help favoring them. It's true they
make lot of litter in the fall, but
they will give ample shade while an
oak is getting started growing and
most of us who set out oaks now will
be dead and buried before they get
to be good-sized trees. For shade
purposes alone I strongly recon-
mend SycamOreS. AS Tor more use
full trees, the same rule holds good
with them, too. They must be set
out at once, if at all, this season.
Figs can be moved now, but the
work must be started right away, as
the figs puts out leaves very early.
Pecans can also be moved now,
though they should have been set
out in the fall"
Trees, trees and more trees" said
Uncle Charlie" in conclusion. They
add to the beauty and healthfulness
of the town, the value of its proper
ty and the comfort of its people; but
if we are to add to our stock of trees
this season, we must work at once.

Atlanta, Jan. 29!-Pertinent facts
that show modern business system
is employed in keeping the financial
records of the state department OF
agriculture are contained in the re-
port of R. w. Jemison, expert ac-
countant, to the Ault investigating
committee that is now engaged in
probing the business and methods OF
this department. The auditors re-
port was made to the committee to-
day, following several weeks OF work
in checking the financial and other
records of the agricultural depart
ment. The auditor gives the depart
ment clean bill of health" as far
as the accounting system is con-
cerned, and that is all he was en-
ployed to look into.
The Ault committee this morning
resumed the taking of testimony,
after having given the last two days
of last week to this probe. Thus
far, all witnesses examined save Au-
ditor Jemlson, have been past or
present officials or employees of the
agricultural department. Col. 0. B.
Stevens, former commissioner Of az
riculture, was on the stand late Sat
urday afternoon and was questioned
closely as to the system of fertilizer

ax1O feet: and near this lavatory
6x7 feet. The rear porch is 12x22.
The veranda on the second floor,
in front, is 1Ox4O. and the hall TX
40 feet. There are four highly I'm
ished and nicely arranged bed rooms
on this foor-17x17, 16xlS, 16xl9
and 16x1S, with bath and toilet
room, 7x16 feet, and lavatory near
The home is wired for electric
lights and contains a complete sew
erage system. The parlor, dining
room and reception hall on the first
floor will be beautifully lighted in
colors, all yieing in beauty with
each other. The house will be fur
nished throughout with the latest
style furniture and furnishings at a
cost of not less than $3,5OO00, and
perhaps $4,000 before the furnish
ings have been purchased and
placed in position. The exterior and
interior of the building are not
quite completed in the way of paint,
varnish. etc. Mr.. Handley will also
erect a garage in the rear OF the
house next to the alley. There are
four beautifully located lots that ex-
tend to the corner on the south.
The lots, building and furnishings,
when completed and set in place,
Mr.. Handley has expended $12,8OO.
Mr.. Handley planned the home
for comfort for himself and family
and has spared no expense to make
it what it is-an ideal home. 1t con-
tains ten spacious rooms, to say
nothing of cupboards, close closets,
two large halls, bath and toilet
rooms, lavatories, and five large fire
places. The building is a model
structure throughout, and contains
many points of beauty that space
will not permit us to 90 into detail.
It is needless to say that MIR. Hand
ley's home is the finest and most
up-to-date structure in this section
of Georgia. The family will move
into their new home this week.
Mr.. Robert V, Handley COM
menced life a poor boy, but by hard
work and the SAVING habit has accu-
mulated small fortune. We trust
that he and his family will live for
many years to enjoy the comforts
of life and the new home they will
soon occupy.
