When first injured Mr.. Shelton was
taken to Ewes Infrmary where it

It was in this building that Mr.. Shell

Special to the Globe.
Decaturville, Tenn, Feb. 27.-The
grand jury yesterday returned in
dictments against George Shelton
and John Bailey, white, for the
murder of Ben Pettigrew and his
two children, Fred and Pearl. There
are three indictments against each,
an dthe charge is murder in the first
degree The parties were brought
out of Jail and put in aeplea of not
guilty, and the court set the trial for
Thursday Of this week and ordered
a panel of $50 men,
The history of this case is fresh
in the minds of the people through
out the state, as it was one of the
most diabolical murders ever heard
of. Public sentiment is strongly
against Bailey and Shelton, and it is
believed that the men will be pun
ished to the full extent of the law.
Mr.. Pettigrew was prominent
man in this community. He had
lived here all of his life and was
highly respected by all. He was quiet,
unassuming and industrious, and it
| was not thought that anyone In tnls
country would do him an injury. The
high standing of the old man is the
strongest evidence that the murder
Gus deed had been premeditated, and
that they killed the old man and his
children for the sole purpose of rob
berry.
The story advanced by one of the
defendants that Mr.. Pettigrew had
in years past mistreated his sister is
not generally believed, for those who
knew him best cannot be made to be
lieve that he would mistreat anyone
and to say that he mistreated chile
is considered to be maliciously false
This case is being watched closely
as it is not believed that the best
people of the country sanction such
deeds.

MIR. BEN CARR PROPOS-
Els TO HAVE ONE
To Be Headquarters
ed at State Normal
Every Boy in Davidson County Can
Join-Must own at Least One
Acre of Land--Mr. Carr Prepar-
inc to Begin Farming--Five
Pairs of Mules-AIl the Lat
est Farm implements.

The latest move to come to light
in the march Of progress among the
Negroes of Davidson County is the
proposal of Mr.. Ben Carr, Superinten-
dent of Industries at the State Normal
to organize Boys Corn Club" or
the Negro boys of Davidson County.
Every boy who owns one acre of land
can become member of the Club
when it is organized, and Mr. Carr
asks that the boys write him a letter
at the State Normal stating their
views on the matter. A letter adj
dressed Mr.. Ben Carr, Negro Normal
College, Nashville, Tenn, will go d.
rectly to Mr.. Carr. The move is
one of the wisest and best made to
the Negro boys of this county in
many years, and will doubtless meet
the hearty approval of all progress
sive Negroes, whether they are farm
ers or not, and the prediction is
made that the boys club win soon
be among the leading organizations
in the county.
Mr.. Carr is getting things in shape
to begin preparing the soil on the
school farm for planting. When
seen by a Globe representative he
said he had just purchased pair
of the finest mules in the state and
many implements for farming. He
said he had everything in readiness
and is merely waiting for the ground
to thaw to begin operations.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The legal
fight of the Grand Lodge, Knights of
Pythlas of Georgia, to prevent Ne
groes from using the terms knight
of Pythias" for lodges in that state
opened today before the supreme
court of the United States, when
briefs of arguments for the Negro
association were fled The Negroes
lost in the supreme court Of Georgia.
The above is the news flashed over
the wires from the city of Washing
ton. Ten million black citizens of
this country are awaiting with much
anxiety the outcome of this suit. 1t
involves millions of dollars worth of
property and the safety of thousands
of people.
Tennessee Negroes are among those
specifically concerned, for only re-
Gently the supreme court of this
state rendered a decision against the
State Grand Lodge. Their case will
doubtless be decided at the same time
1.-THE Georgia case is, and in fact one
case will decide that pending from
the various states in the South. The
supreme court of the United States
now contains many men from the
South, and it is that fact that causes
many to be apprehensive less preju
dice will creep in. But no credence
can be attached to this fear, as the
supreme court justices are sworn to
do their full duty toward every citi
zen of our country.
