And A Buick Did 1t

Out in Reno, Nevada the other day, a
party of young folks piled into a bob
sled and started for sleigh ride. There
were four horses on the job, but it was
a big load and pretty slow. The girls
d dn't have the time of their young lives
and said SO
In the crowd was one o. P. Judd, scion
of Reno aristocracy and chairman of al
most every entertainment committee Re-
no ever had. o. p. Judd didn't like those
Any time anybody got the idea
he couldn't go fast enough to give any
girl a good time, he reckoned it was
about time TO spring something and
spring it good And he sprung it.
He invited the crowd to come back the
next afternoon. They came twenty
three strong to find Judds hobs hitched
to motor car. Six of the crowd rode
in the car, and the other seventeen in
the bob sleigh
They headed for the open country be-
tween Reno and Carson. The Indicator
began moving up and over. At thirty
the thing was a scream, nine screams,
and If there'd been fifty girls there'd
have been fifty screams. Go slower or
We'll walk home" was the ultima tum.
And slower it was. But o. p. had made
good. And he did it with Buick "17''.

How It's Made

The l.. & NJ. Semi Mixed Real Paint is
pure paint. One thousand pounds of
pure White Lead, Zinc and Linseed
Oil are put together in an immense
mixer; then large mills grind it, and
machines fill it into cans ready for mar
ket But the user adds three quarts
more Linseed Oil to each gallon to make
l "a gallons OF Real Pure Paint for
$1.4O per gallon. 1t is the very highest
quality paint.

September Morn"
May SILVER On; Chief
HAS Seen Worse"

Police Chief Beavers, Just back
from Washington, D. c., has granted
a new lease on life to dainty Sep
TENDER Morn, following an "unoff-
ciaP' call at a local book store Mon
day morning.
The chief took a leisurely stroll
along Whitehall, stopped for several
minutes before the big window which
protects some 48 of the maidens,
scanned each of them most careful
ly, and then nodded his head in a
semi-approval sort of manner, as
much as to say that hes seen much
worse pictures than Coles present
leader"
In fact, the chief actually said as
much in substance. However, he
hasn't delivered any opinion as yet
he is going to think it overland
in the meantime. so far as the chief
is concerned, September Morn" may
shiver on.

Court Deputy David Yancey is
dead He met a horrible fate. He
was stabbed and hacked to death
While endeavorins to serve his en-
ployer. the public of Atlanta and Full
ton County. He died with his boots
on"
The whole city and the entire
county will applaud this brave mans
deed and mourn his death. Then they
will turn again to their own homes
and happy families and the humdrum
of business. Court Deputy David
Yancey will pass from their minds.
1t remains for the dead mans I'M
happy family to bear the real bur
dens of consequences which its head
met in serving the public. There is
the widow. who idolized her big,
strong husband. There are also eigh.
children, bright-eyed boys and girls
not one Of them over 16 years of age,
who will romp no more about their
fathers knee.
Family in Need.
He has been snatched away from
them. And now-what do they face?
With the overwhelming tragedy not
yet fully realized by them, the fam
lily of Deputy Yancey has not thought
Of this. Their sorrow for their loved
one browns out all else.
But life has its toll which must be
paid. There are eight children who
have to live, as well as a widow.
Their sole support has been taken
from them. And now--they face life's
problem.
Yancey's family was in straitened
circumstances at the time of his
death. Sickness had invaded the
house and two of the children are
now in a hospital
Already friends Of the dead man
are thinking Of this The Georgian
also has thought of this.
The Georgian has started fund to
care for the family whose head was
cut off while serving the people of
Atlanta and Fulton County.
Your Aid Needed.
This newspaper has headed the list
with S25. The amount is small-not
commensurate in any manner with
the price paid by Yancey. But its
snallness invites contributions from
other sources-from the public whom
Yancey served. The Georgian will
gladly receive these contributions and
see that they are put in the hands of
the bereaved family as a poor sub
stitute for what it has lost.
High praise was given the deputy
fiCer.

riot call.
The negro surrendered only
after he had been badly wounded
and saw that he could not hold
out longer against the posse of
bluecoats who had surrounded
him in his stronghold.
A lynching was averted only by
the large force Of officers who rush
ed to the house and hurried the I'M
conscious negro to the police station
in an automobile.
Cries of Lynch him!" were heard
on every hand. The crowd was Wild
ly excited and thronged about the ne
gro as he was being taken from the
basement. The policemen quickly
formed a circle about Watson and
pushed the angry men away,
Until he was hurried into the au-
tomobile, the danger of violence was
not passed, the crowd at one time
threatening to take him from the Of
ficers.
Yancey's body was terribly mutt
lated by the frenzied negro Rather
than be taken. Watson rushed like a
wild beast toward Yancey, stabbed
him repeatedly in the breast and back
ana sIashed one Of his arms almost to
ribbons. Yancey probably was dead
long before Watson had completed
his fiendish attack.
The trouble which resulted in the
tragedy started when Watson
snatched 81 from Jesse Winn,
an aged negro, on Whitehall
Street. Watson ran after getting the
money and threatened with a drawn
knife everyone who stood in his path.
Deputy Gives Chase.
AS he was running up Rawson
Street, Deputy Yancey, who happen
ed to be in that vicinity to serve some
papers, took up the chase Watson
ran into the yard at the rear of 300

suit

gerald Street, Joined in the chase,
along with a score of other persons.
Yancey fired upon the negro as he
cornered him in the yard.
Damn you, you've got to kill me
before you can take me-" Watson
shouted as he rushed upon the deputy
and snatched the still smoking re-
volver out of his hand.
With this he drew the knife and
plunged it time and again into the
body of Yancey. The deputy sank to
the ground mortaIly wounded, but the
blood -maddened negro kept hacking
and stabbing the limp body.
Boy Rushes to Aid.
Young Starnes, who had FASTENED
to the officers assistance, picked up
one brick after another and hurled
them at the negro, but the latter paid
no attention to the blows.
When Watson had stated his
bloody passion, he leaped from the
PROSTATE body of Yancey and ran up
the street, taking refuge when hot
ly pressed, in the cellar Of the vacant
house at 80 Windsor Street.
He was quickly surrounded by the
posse OF officers. Thrusting their
weapons in under the house they
commenced a fusillade upon the ne
gro which failed to subdue him until
ne was almost riddeld with bullets.
