WANTS LUM WARREN REWARD
MAN WHO REPORTED ALLEGED
CONFESSION WRITES LETTER.
Says Ii Necessary He Will EXhume
Body of Pauper Who Died in
Alabama Poor House.

The Cuthbert Liberal-Enterprist
prints a letter to Sheriff Taylor Of
Randolph county from the man who
recently reported that a negro pau
per who died at Dothan, Ala, con-
fessed that he was Lum Warren, a
notorious fugitive whose crime upon
a respected white woman IS years
ago caused great excitement through
out this section of the state. The
writer of the letter to Sheriff Tay-
lor. which is given below, now wants
the reward that was offered for the
negro's capture;
Dear Sir: I received your letter
some days ago, but have been busy
and have not had time to write. !
also received letter from Mr.. Eu-
gene Sharley asking me to explain.
The first confession made to me
was made at the poor farm. Mr.
Rlessett and were repairing house
there. We were in one room and
Warren and other negroes in anoth-
er. We heard Warren tell the ne
groes of his troubles in Cuthbert.
After he made the first confession |
went in the room to see him myself.
/ asked some of the negroes if he
had ever told the story before and
they said he had many times. /
then went to Mr. Holland, the keep
er, and asked him to go in and see
if Warren would tell him what he
had told MI. Blessett and myself.

him, and the negro told them the
same that he had told us. Then Mr..
Holland told the commissioners, who
had Warren removed from the poor
farm AS soon as the negro found
that we we're going to take him away
he tried to escape, but was not able
to do so. He was afraid that We were
going to take him to Georgia. Mr.
Blessett and l carried him to a house
and hired a nurse and took care of
him until he died He said he was
willing to be tried here, but not in
Cuthbert. After he learned that we
were going to take him to Cuthbert
he did not want me to examine him.
He had two scars on his left shoulder
blade, and also had scars on his back.
AR. A. L. Faux has known him Tor

and ran away and went to Panama
City and Lynn Haven, and had been
there since until six or eight months
ago, when he came back here. l
asked him where he spent the time
after he committed the crime, and
e said at Abbeville and Fort Gaines,
but had been back to Cuthbert one
time, going and coming at night.
The lawyers here say the reward
for Warren's capture is good unless
the governor has withdrawn it, and
that it belongs to Mr.. Blessett and !
myself. Would like for you to write
Mr.. Holland, keeper of the poor farm,
and have him verify what | have told
you. If the reward is good will have
his body taken up for examination,
if necessary.

TRIAL OF WATSON MONDAY
CASE TO COME UP IN AUGUSTA
ON MARCH 18TH.
Editor Is Charged With Mailing OBJ
scene Matter. Says 1t Was Copied
From Catholic Literature.

AUGUSTA, Ga.-The case of the
government VS.. Thomas E. Watson,
charged with sending obscene litera-
ture through the United States mails,
is on the docket in the United States
court of the Southern district of
| Georgia, which convenes in Augusta
Monday, March II. Jury boxes We're
| shipped to Savannah and jurors for
the week drawn by Judge Speer in
that city Friday.
While it has been believed that
motion for continuance would be
made in the Watson case it became
known here today that special men
from the postOffice department have
been busy on the case for two or
three weeks. The indications at this
time are that the case will be assign
ed when the docket is called Mon
day, and trial will very likely be set
for Wednesday or Thursday
At the preliminary hearing Wat
son pleaded his own cause, but in
the trial of the case he will be rep
resented by two lawyers, whose
names have not yet been entered on
the docket.
In his fight against what he term
ed the Catholic hierarchy Watson
published il the Jeffersonian,
weekly publication, what he alleged
was an oath taken by Catholic
priests.
The matter, it is charged, was OBJ
scene, and Assistant District Attor-
ney Alderman proceeded against the
publisher of the periodical.
Watson, in his defense at the pre-
liminary trial, set up the pleading
that his published matter was quo
tation from a book which had been
freely passed through the mails and
that, therefore, his publication was
not criminal.
He is under bond for appearance
at the term of court to convene here
Monday.

even though they bore low rate OF
interest.
Then each proprietor borrowed,
according to his needs, from the com
mon cash reservoir thus created, at
a rate which took care of the bond
interest and amortization, so that
at the end of a generation they had
their lands free and clear with all
Improvements.
Had these same estates been
pledged at the banks the interest
charges would have been so high
that the proprietors would have been
foreclosed long ago, or else would
still be encountered with debt. Both
the Reiffeisen and Landschaften sys-
TENS of credit have been in success
full operation for a period amply long
enough to prove their practicablIlty,
the former for the last fifty years, the
latter since the eighteenth century.
Thus if only these last three CO.
operative systems-marketing BUY
ing and credit-were put into COM
nlete oneration in the South 1t would
add almost from the outset not less
than S7OO,O00,0 900 a year to the IN
comes of the farmers in that sec
ton
But it would do more than this;
if would decrease the numbers or the
tenant farmer class, which today is
blight on agriculture throughout the
South. In some states &C per cent OF
the farms are operated by tenants;
in practically none of them are less
than SO per cent so operated. VI
these tenants from 80 to 40 per
cent are whites.
Tenant System Bad.
Barely do they stay more than
single year in one community; hence
| they have no local pride nor any in
terest in the farms on which they
| live Their only object is to raise
one crop and get out. AS result
they rob the soil and when they de-
part they leave the community poor
/ err in resources than when they came.
If farm life is made more attractive
better class will be drawn to the
omen country, where they will stay
generation after generation, operat-
ing the same farm, conserving IN
stead of impoverishing the land, ana
working with all their might TO de-
velop the communities in which they
live"

Reverend B. u. Tayler, pastor of
St. Paul's church, received his ap-
pointment here two years ago from
the Right Reverend Bishop G. T
Shaffer. He found the church run
down, disorganized and bardened with
an Indebtedness of over twenty-one
hundred dollars. He has labored
earnestly and successfully. One
month ago he launched rally to pay
off the last $500 Indebtedness on the
church, and the members and friends
responded nobly on Sunday, Novem-
Der Both. Although the weather was
inclement the people laid on the table
$500 in cash. And over $500 that is
subscribed is yet to be collected, which
will relieve St. Paul's A. M. E. church
of it's entire Indebtedness. The peo-
pie are rejoicing because of their
freedom from this burden. Tho.
church is progressing and growing.
There is continually added to the
church of God such souls as shall be
saved. Reverend Taylor has proved
a blessing to the church and COM
