VIM. WEBSTER IS ACQUITTED
Old Negro Charged With Assault on
White Man in Lee County Found
Not Guilty in Sumter Court.

AMERICUS.-In Sumter superior
court this morning William Webster,
on trial for assault with intent to
murder, having seriously shot Abner
Greene, a Lee county farmer, was ac-
quilted of the charge, the jury re-
turning a verdict of not guilty.
The shooting took place in Lee
county six months ago, but upon rec
ommendation of the grand jury of
Lee county at the October term of
Lee court Judge Littlejohn granted
a change of venue and ordered Web
ster, q worthy negro farmer, sent to
Americas for trial in the Sumter SUI
perior court. The trial consumed a
day and was of much interest.
According to Webster, Greene, a
white man, went to Webster's home
and in an a'tercation shot and killed
the old negro's son, and later opened
fire upon the elder Webster, who
shot one time, the ad striking
Greene in the face and putting out
both eyes. .... ..

MRS. RODDENBERY'S
APPOINTMENT SUITS
Townsville People Reported to Be
Pleased With Congressman
Frank Parks Choice.

THOMASVILLE.-The appoint
lnent of Mrs. S. A. Roddenbery as
postmistress here will give to Thorn
asville the first woman who has ever
been in charge of the office. AS soon
as it was known here that she was an
applicant for the office it was gener-
ally believed that she would get it,
as it was understood that Congress
man Park would recommend it, and
both Senators Bacon and Smith were
warm personal friends of the late
Congressman Roddenbery.
OF course there is some little per-
sonal disappointment among those
who were feeling that the appoint
ment might be coming their way,
but everybo seems to feel that it
is a graceful compliment on the part
of Judge Park to the widow of the
late congressman.
As the Thomasville office has a full
corps of competent employees Mrs.
Roddenbery will have no trouble in
catching on to her new duties when
she goes into office, which will prob
ably be the first of next year.

SCHOOL FUNDS APPORTtONED
Made Under New School Census, and
Is $3.17 Per Capita Against
Ssh Previously.

The state educational department
has completed the work of apportion-
ing tle state school fund of $780,
coo for next year and the year fol-
lowing among the 14S counties and
the 80 local or town school systems
receiving state aid. This apportion-
ment will not vary materially for the
next five years, without increases n
the appropriations.
The apportionment is made under
the new school census and the per
capita now is $3.17 as against 1914
for the five years previous. This
decrease in the per capita per pupil
is due to the increase in the number
of children of school age. This in
crease is approximately 10000, max
ing the amount per pupil smaller.
Forty other counties in the state
receive more money for schools than
Terrell, which will get $17,393.79.
The city of Dawson will receive ST.
S37.15.
But with comparatively few excep-
lions counties will receive as much
as formerly and in some instances
more, due to the fact that their
school population has increased. Only
few counties failed to show appre-
ciable gains in the number of school
children, hence will get smaller
sums under the new apportionment.
This e-apportionment of the fund
under the new census involved a
large amount of detailed and trying
work, but it has been verified sew
eral times and found correct in every
particular. While the school popula-
ton has gone up the appropriation
for the common schools has remained
practically unchanged.

WORKING 70 GAIN BALLOT
WOMEN SEEK CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT FOR FRANCHISE.
Will Try to Enlist President Wilson's
Aid. Women Now Vote on Ma
tionaI Questions in Ten States.

WASHINGTON-With the an
Inounced intention of speedily start
|! ing on it's way an amendment to the
| federal constitution that will enfran-
ohise women suffragists by the hun
dreds today arrived here to attend
the forty-ffth convention of the Ma
tionaI American Womans Suffrage
| Association.
Such an amendment and the wo-
mems right to it, now that they vote
on national questions in ten states, is
to be urged upon congress with Wig
orous determination, say the suffrage
leaders. They also assert they will
attempt to obtain an expression from
President Wilson which might be re-
garded as the democratic party
policy on the woman suffrage ques-
| ton. ..
Arrival and certification of dele
gates, meetings of the official board
and of the executive committees and
luncheon by the National College
Equal Suffrage League, at which
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, Miss Jane
Adams and other prominent leaders
spoke, filled the day.
The executive committee, at a
meeting tonight, took up for consid-
Grafton two of the important matters
which will come before the conyen-
ton. One was the proposal to adopt
new constitution for the associa-
ton. The other was as to the found
I ing of a business corporation, CAPT
talized at $4,000, to be known as
the National Suffrage Publishing
Company, which would have charge
of the printing of suffrage literature
both for the national, affiliated and
other suffrage associations. The
trustees of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association would
hold a majority of the stock, so as
to maintain CONTROL, although the
directors of the company would not
be officers of the association.
At the College Women's meeting
Miss Adams declared that the re-
Gently acquired franchise in Illinois
already had given the women of that
state great influence in needed re-
forms. Miss Lucy Burns of this city
said one-fifth of the senate, one-sev-
enth of the house of representatives
and one-fifth of the electors now
come from states where women vote
on national questions.

NO RECOMMENDATION
AT CAMBRIDGE
Man Agreed Upon by MFR. ROddenbery
and Senator Smith Was Hostile
to New Congressman.


to New Congressman.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Represent-
alive Frank Parks action on the
cambridge postoffice case is awaited
with much interest by the members
of the Georgia delegation since it be-
came understood here that the late
Representative Roddenbery had de-
cided whom he would appoint at
cambridge in the event that the in
cumbent should be removed on the
charges of undue political activity.
Inquiry at the postoffice department,
however, shows that Mr.. Rodden-
berry had not filed his recommends
ton.
Mr.. Roddenbery and Senator Hoke
Smith, it was reported, had agreed
upon j. NJ. Scott as the appointee at
cambridge. AS soon as Judge Park
heard of this he wrote the depart
ment asking if their recommendation
had been filed, saying that he desired
to carry out Mr.. Roddenbery's wishes
in the appointment. AS there was
no record of such wish, however,
Judge Park left for Georgia without
having made up his mind as to his
course.
Mr.. Scott is said to have been act
i've for Roscoe Luke in the congress
sional race, while some of the other
candidates are friends of Judge Park.

CORN CLUB BOYS IN SESSION
EIGHT HUNDRED OF THEM AND
MANY GIRLS SWARM CAPITOL.
According to Supervisor Campbell,
Boys Make Best Showing This
Year of Any Yet Made.

-~"~~-
A.-Georgia' capitol was
livelier today than it has been in
q very long time, for the building
fairly swarmed with lusty youngsters
from all parts of Georgia, here for
the annual show of the Boys Corn
Clubs.
1t is estimated that fully 500 of
the corn club boys and so to Is girls
of the canning clubs are in town.
Best Showing Yet Made.
1--WE have decidedly the best show
ing yet made" said Mr.. Campbell.
Altogether there are approximately
5000 boys in the corn clubs, with
their work properly checked up and
exhibited here. 1t has been crafty
ing to find that the number of young
growers getting into the 1OO-bushel-
per-acre class is larger this year than
last, and, as for that, any previous
year. This year IS boys, pretty well
distributed over the state, produced
100 or more bushels per acre, as
against 50 in 1912.
1T s impossible to estimate the
good these young fellows are doing.
They are not only testing their own
qualities and learning the game from
scientific angle, but they are SOW
| ing seed that will do much to stir
older farmers up. The boys are prov
ing what can be done by intensive
work, and this fact is getting down
under the skins of farmers all over

WOODLAND KILLED CULBRETF
LATTER ACCUSED OF ASSAULT
ING YOUNG SiSTER-IN-LAXV.
Culbreth Had Been Released at Com
initial Trial in Cuthbert When
Girls Brother Shot Him Dead.

CUTHBERT-Wa F. Wood
ham, a young man residing in the
Enterprise neighborhood, near the
line of Clay and Calhoun counties,
emptied the contents of his revolver
into his brother-in-law, S. c. Gull
breth, a we'll known merchant and
prominent citizen of Carnegie, in
Randolph county this afternoon.
The shooting occurred in Goepp's
store, whittier Culbreth had just
gone after leaving the court house,
where Culbreth had just been dis
charged by a justice Of the peace
from a warrant charging Culbreth
with an assault upon his sister-in-
law, who had been boarding at his
home and going to school in Carnegie
until Thursday of last week.
Woodham followed Culbreth into
the store and without a word of
warming emptied the contents of his
revolver into Culbreth's body. Gull
breth died instantly and without ut
tering a word.
Since last Thursday, when the
young girl made the accusation
against her brother-in-law, feeling
has been intense on the part of her
relatives. Saturday a number of her
relatives were in Cuthbert and a war
rant was sworn out against Culbreth.
He was arrested and gave bond. The
trial had been going on all the after
noon, with the result that Cu1breth
was discharged.
Many Attend Trial.
The town was filled with people to-
day, many from Woodlands section,
and numerous parties from Carnegie
being here to attend the commitment
trial 1t was clearly evident that
much feeling existed.
Culbreth married Woodlands old
er sister and the young sister who
made the accusation stated in her
testimony today that the assault oc-
Cured in September at Culbreth' S
home. The~-high standing of Gull
breth made it impossible for any of
his friends to believe that he was
guilty. On the other hand, the
standing of his wife's and sister-in-
laws people made it equally as hard
for the friends and relatives of the
girl not to believe her statement.
Woodham, the young man who did
the shooting, was promptly arrested
by the sheriff and a deputy and
placed in Jail. He has recently been
student in a business college in
Columbus. Since last Saturday,
when the sister-in-law, Ia years of
age, made the accusation, rumors of
threats have been heard as coming
from some of the girls relatives.
/ Threats Are Alleged.
1t is claimed the Woodlands had
made threats and purchased pistol
and cartridges in Edison last week,
Culbreth, who was regarded as fear
less, it is stated, knew of this and
/ his friends advised that he be eau
tious Since the shooting it is also
stated that some friends of the
woodlands here during the day had
purchased cartridges from a local
hardware store.
