Negro Found Under
Bed Gets 10 Years
Another Culprit Given Long Sen
tence Because Temptation to
Speak oVercame Him.

Triton, July 12.-Henry Harris, a
negro, was sentenced by Judge Thomas
in Tiff Superior Court to ten years on
the changing. Harris was discovered
under the bed of Mrs. I. B. Hall, wife
of the man who has been sentenced to
hang in Tiff County jail Friday, Au-
gust 20. Mrs. Hall had retired and for
some cause got up and moved the bed.
In doing so she moved ii over the negro
and when she went to get back in bed
stepped against him.
Harris pleaded guilty to burglary and
was given ten years. Sentence was
passed on the negro in less than one
week after the crime was committed.
Jack Mackey, who killed Sid Davis,
another negro, at Hogansville, Febru-
airy 3, was given a sentence of fourteen
years. Henry Wilson, negro, was tried
under a charge of assault with intent
to murder, and found guilty of assault
and fined $50 There was another in
dictment against him for carrying a
pistol without license. To this charge
he entered a plea of guilty, but
the opportunity to speak before a crowd
got the best of him. lie told the judge
that he was drunk and did not know
what he was doing. Judge Thomas said
he considered a negro with a pistol and
full of bad liquor more dangerous than
a rattlesnake and gave him twelve
months on the gang on this charge.

FIVE INJUREDAS
CAR OVERTURNS
NEAR AMERICUS
C. H. Farris, Wife, Two Daugh-
tiers and Son, of SmithviIle,
Auto Accident Victims.

AMERICUS. July I'm a fifteen
foot plunge in a heavy automobile
from the embankment of Muckal &c
Creek. Mr. and Mrs c. II. Farris. two
daughters and son almost miracu-
lously escaped death to-day. The car
landed bottom upward on a barbed
wire fence at the muddy edge of the
creek, and from beneath it emerged
the five passengers, badly bruised and
SCARED, but still alive.
The Farris family, from Smithviiie,
were on their way to Americas, coast
ing down Muckalee hill, when the ac-
cident occurred. Mr.. Farris had been
driving the car, but had shut off the
power so that his son could shift to
the drivers seat. The fact that the
car was going very slowly at the time
is attributed by Mr. Farris as the only
thing that saved the lives of himself
and family.

Georgia County Has Unusual Rec
ord-BusineSs Methods Used
in Administering Affairs.

COLUMBUS, July 1.-THE boast
of MuscoSee County is the splendid
system of public roads and the three
County Commissioners, who have not
, only made the roads but who have
put the county on possibly the sound
est financial rating of any in Geor-
gia-
The county has $S5,271.76 in Co
lumbus banks; does not owe one
cent; has never had a bond issue of
any kind and never allowed expendi-
lures to exceed the receipts to an
extent greater than could be paid
upon demand. In addition to being
out of debt and having the healthy
balance on hand the county has a
courthouse valued at 100000; Jail
worth $4,000; pauper home and
farm, S9,12975; roads and bridges,
S312,500 and other improvements,
$4S,6OO, making a grand total of $685.

Established 40 Years.
The County Commission in Musco-
gee was established 40 years ago,
when the late Louis F. Garrard was
in his prime as an attorney. He was
a member of the first board, and il
was largely through his keen fore
sight that that body was able to ac-
complish what it did not, only when
he was member, but since he died.
The Muscogee County courthouse, one
of the handsomest in the South was
built during his administration
The present commissioners are
Frank U. Garrard, a son of Louis F.
Garrard; L. A. Scarborough, a prom
inent warehouseman, and J. c. Alex
ander, a real estate and business man,
who was recently elected to succeed
Captain B. H. Hardaway, one of the
Souths largest contractors. Such
men have always been on the board
and they have known the needs of
the county and have worked out its
business affairs as they have their
own.
Roads Like BouIeVards.
The roads of the county are 50 and
40 feet wide and are bOulevards COM
pared to those in many other coun-
ties of the State. The road work is
under the direct supervision of Julian
r. Lane, County Road Engineer. He
is ranked as one of the best road
builders in the State. He is now
constructing roads at 1900 per mile
that are pronounced by experts to
equal others that are costing as high
as $4,000 in other counties
MuscOgee County is using convict
labor on the roads, there being four
camps established where the highest
type of road building machinery can
be found. The county now has more
than 60 miles of first class public
roads and the four gangs are building
other roads as rapidly as men and
means can be used to construct them.

Women Make War
On Liquor Selling
Form Law and Order League and
Have Alabama Merchant
Arrested.

COLUMBUS. July 12,-Because of
dereliction on the part of men in sup
pressing the illegal sale of liquors in
the vicinity of Malone, Randolph
County, Alabama, the women of the
community have banded themselves
together in a Law and Order League
to stop 1t.
The first step was to call on H. Y.
Carwyle a small merchant, whom it
was claimed was selling whisky lille
gally, and ask him to stop. Carwyle
did not heed their request, and the
women had him arrested. He was
carried before Probate Judge John T.

Carwyle appealed the case.
The leader among the women is
Mrs Nixon Lucas, wife of a promi
nent and wealthy turpentine man.
