We'll, here | is said negro this
morning as he walked into the sheriffs
office. us ready to give myself up
Nothing had announced the negro's ap-
proach and members Of the force were
surprised to see Jake Hightower, the
negro who shot George Williams yes
terday, standing in the doorway.
All yesterday afternoon and a part
OF last night the officers had hunted
for Hightower, through all the devious
ways Of southtown and the Rock Isl
and yards, but no trace Of the negro
was found No one had seen him
after he had calmly walked away fol
lowing the shooting. Williams Is to-
day doing nicely and will recover with
in a few days
The mystery of it all is that VIII
liams' head was not blown entirely Off
Most Of the charge went true, filling
his neck and face full Of shot, but in
flicting comparatively slight wounds.
The building where the shooting oc-
Cured is only 20 feet long. Williams
was standing at the back Of the room
when Hightower entered the front
door. Both men were standing within
the room and the added length Of the
gun barrel brought the distance down
to about Is feet The gun used was
single barrel shotgun and the shot
were small, probably NJ or S bird
shot.
When seen in the jail this morning
Hightower said II stayed yesterday
evening ana last night in a restaurant
IN southtown. went there after the
shooting and didn't come out last
night ! intended to come out this
morning and give myself up"
He said that Williams owed him
some money and wouldn't pay him and
that Williams had threatened to shoot
him two or three weeks ago. He has
been running over me ever since, just

a little rucus yesterday before the
shooting and some words at that time.

the first that anyone knew Of High,
towers presence. he threw open the
door and said. "Ill settle it with you
right now" "And about dat time de
gun went off" said the eyewitness.
Jake Hightower is an uncle Of Ray
mond Hightower. who a year and a
half ago shot and killed a negro boy.
The gun used by Raymond was sin
gle barrel shotgun. exactly resembling
the gun used in the shooting yester-
day, and some think it is the same gun.
Hightower would not state this movn-
ing whether or not it was the same
weapon.

AUGUSTA, July 5-The Rev. r. e.
l.. Harris, pastor of the Woodlawn
Baptist Church Of Augusta, has plen-
ty- Of pluck and determination: else
he wouldn't attempt to build a S25, 900
church with not a single wealthy
member.
Mr.. Harris Is known throughout
Georgia He has been pastor in many
towns along the Georgia Railroad and
Is highly regarded as a minister and
as a man. He is a brother Of Mrs.
Mary Harris ArmoT the celebrated
temperance lecturer.
Mr.. Harris came to Augusta three
years ago. His church is located on
Chefee Avenue just off Walton Way.
Until Dr.. Harris came the members
seemed satisfied with the modest
wooden structure.
However, they soon began to in
crease, and enthusiasm and fervor
we're injected into the members, who
had been, before Mr.. Harris coming,

their church was capable of accom-

member of your church affuent?" was
asked of Mr.. Harris by a. representa-
tive of The Sunday American.
why, of course, we do not expect
to build the church entirely by our
selves" he said, "for we have friends
and expect to call on them. We have
been planning to build this church for
over year and have a considerable
sum in hand, and much more in pros
pect.
Patience, persistence and faith in
the Lord will bring to pass many
things that seem impossible, and we
certainly expect to have our new
church erected and paid for within
the next few years"
The plans for the new church have
been completed by the architects, and
it will be a handsome structure, fully
three times as large as the present
building. and modern in every respect.
