HICKEY PARDONED, WILL WE'D
GOV. SLATON FREES CIRCUS MAN
WHO HAD SERVED SIX YEARS.
Athens Girl Will Marry Him, and He
Will Be Given "a Good Posi-
ton in That CITY.

ATLANTA-"Don't forget me,
governor" said James f. Hickey in
Athens Tuesday, while Gov John NJ.
Slaton was in the Classic City at
tending the good roads meeting.
And Governor Slaton came home
and granted Hickey a full pardon.
In Valdostan, in 1905, on circus
day. Mr.. Roberts, a we'll known citi-
zen, had his pockets picked of con-
siderable sum of money. He COM
planned to the police, who made
roundup of all the strange and sus-
picious characters in the town. Sew
en- were arrested in all, Hickey being
one of the men. 1t may be stated
here that Hickey was not at the de-
pot where the robbery occurred.
James Hickey, Ed Cole, Frank Mo
ran and James King were all con-
Victed for the offense and were sent
to the pen for long terms. Cole,
Moran and King have all escaped
and are still at liberty.
Hickey had many opportunities to
escape, but he persistently declined
to take advantage of any such oppOT-
tunity. He said he was innocent, but
that he would remain in the gang
the balance of his life before he
would escape His record for the six
years he has been in the pen is above
reproach. In Clarke county, where
he has been located some time, he is
trusty, and the warden, county
/ commissioners and everyone who
| knew him have the most implicit
confidence in him.
While Governor Slaton was in Ath-
| ems Tuesday Hickey was brought
around to see him. The chief execu-
tive was impressed with the mans
| good face and general demeanor.
The next act of the freed man
will be to lead to the marriage altar
an Athens girl, who fell in love with
him and promised to marry him as
! soon as could obtain his liberty.
He has been promised also good
employment in Athens, where he has
gained the respect of many who hap
! pened to come in contact with him
on account of his manliness. Hickey
claims that he was wrongfully con.
victed Of the crime, it being a case
of mistaken identity. He was con

LABOR WORRIES FARMERS.
There Are Some Farms ON Which

There Are Some Farms ON Which
There Is Not a Tenant.
The scarcity of labor for the COM
ing crop has become a serious mat
ter with some of the farmers. In
fact, the conditions are worse than
were ever before known at the be-
ginning of a new year-the time for
farm operations to begin in earnest.
1t is reported that some farmers
haven't a single tenant on their
places, and there are others who will
let their land lie out and make no
effort to cultivate it.
Notwithstanding the fact that
modern machinery is being used on
the farms it seems that the demand
for labor is growing, and that there
is no way of supplying it.
An already bad situation has been
made worse by the removal Of a
large number Of farm hands from
Terrell to counties south of here.
Large sums of money were advanced
to many of them as an inducement
to move

$4,000 A MONTH TOO MUCH
FOR INSPECTING FERTILIZERS
AND OIL IN GEORGIA.
Matters in Department of AgriCuIt-
ure That Will Receive Particular
Attention of Investigators.


ATLANTA, Cato prescribe a
remedy for a system that it is gen
orally admitted is not just what it
should be and that it is claimed is
costing the state of Georgia $1,000
to $4,000 a month more than it
should, which amount could be saw
ed and at the same time produce
greater efficiency, is what the Ault
Investigating committee, authorized
by the 1911 session of the Georgia
legislature, will soon undertake.
The Ault committee, created IN
der a resolution introduced last sum
mer by Representative e. S. Ault of
Polk county, will meet at the state
capital in Atlanta Immediately fol-
lowing the special session of the leg
islatuTe, which conVenes January "a,
for one or two days to inaugurate
Joseph NJ. Brown as governor. The
results arrived at will be reported to
the legislature at the regular session
next sufmer.
The system to be rectified by the
committee and legislature is that
governing the inspection Of fertiliz-
ers, oils, foods, stock feeds and
drugs, the appointment Of inspectors
and the collection and disbursement
of fees, all this work being under the
jurisdiction of of the state depart
ment OF agriculture. However, the
system of fertilizer inspection is
the one matter that will receive par
ticuIar attention, it most directly af-
fecting the farmers of the state.
Preliminary to the Ault commit
tees work R. w. Jameson of Macon,
expert accountant employed by the
committee, is now auditing the rec
ords of the agricultural department
/ for the entire year of 1910 and the
! first six months of 1911. He has
taken the records for this period, at
/ the direction of the committee, to
! determine comparisons for the first
/ half of the past two years and the
( last half of 1910 with the first half
of 1911. The committee did not
consider it essential to audit the rec
ords for the entire time of the pres
ent agricultural administration. The
more recent figures show the system
in vogue in that department at this
time.

SHERIFF SELLS FORTY MULES.

Belonged to Lee County Farmer and
We're FOreclosed by Dawson Bank.
Forty mules that belonged to Rev.
R. A. Sublette were sold at public
sale by Sheriff Smith at Leesburg on
Wednesday under a mortgage fore
closure in favor Of the Dawson Ma
tional Bank.
Mr.. Sublette is one of the South
Carolinians who bought land eX-
tensively in this section a year ago,
and it is to be regretted that cir
cumstances have cOnspired to cause
him financial trouble.
He bargained for the large planta-
ton of Col. L. P Cooke at Armenia,
in Lee county, and being a progress
i've man he started his operations on
an intensive and expensive scale,
which, coupled with inability to Sc
cure sufficient labor and the low
price of cotton, caused his embar-
rassment. 1t is estimated that there
are now at least Is bales of unpick-
ed cotton in his fields, which will be
an almost total loss, as it has been
exposed to the bad weather. Mr.. Sub
lette has made many friends here
who regret his misfortune.

possible, as the maxim, 'Once a
tramp always a tramp" has been
many times proven to him by actual
experience, as he has met many a

call to wander.

CONDUCTORS INJURY FATAL
WAS RUN OVER BY SEABOARD
TRAIN AT RICHLAND.
Was Taken to Americas, Where
Death Followed an Operation.
Both Legs Were Crushed.


Conductor George Roberts of the
Seaboard railway died in Americas
from the injuries he received in an
accident at Richland, when he was
caught between the caboose of his
freight train and a box car and both
Of his lower limbs badly crushed.
AS soon as possible the injured
conductor was taken to Americus,
where he received medical attention.
One limb was amputated above the
knee, and from the shock the pa
tent did not rally. Had he surviv-
ed the operation the amputation of
the left limb would have been neces-
sary also, so badly had both limbs
been crushed by the cars.
Conductor Roberts was in charge
of train No. %, en- route from Mont
gOmery to Americas. At RiChland
his train took the wrong track while
shifting its position, it is said, and
was about to run into a box car
when Conductor Roberts, realizing
the danger, sought to avert it and
was caught between the cars. He
suffered greatly.
Mr.. Roberts was native of Ma
con. He was 26 years old, and had
been in the employ of the SeabOard
five years. Escorted by a body of
conductors the body Of Mr.. Roberts
was carried to Macon for interment.
He was greatly esteemed by the Off
Gals of the railroad and his fellow
employees.

BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS.
Causes a Loss of 500, 600, 900 a Year
to Farmers of the Country.

According to Dr. G. J. Marshall,
state veterinarian of Pennsylvania,
10 per cent of the cows of the state
are affected with tuberculosis. Last
year out of a total of 9,251 COWS ex-
amined for the disease 968 were con-
demned as being affected. The total
loss to the farmers of the country
from this disease alone is $25, 000,-
000 What the indirect loss through
the communicating of the disease
to human beings may be there is no
means Of knowing, but that the loss
is heavy there cannot be the slightest
doubt
Last year over $14,OOO,OOO was
expended throughout the country
in waging war upon tuberculosis,
and much of this was wasted because
of the prevalence of the disease
among the cattle of the country.
