HAD A BIG HANGING BEE
A DAWSON MAN HURRIED FROM
MONTGOMERY TO ESCAPE 1T.
The Execution of Two White Men and
Two Negroes Turned Out to BE
Bungling Mess.


Mr.. j. S. Lowrey, who was on a
visit to Montgomery, cut it short and
came home Wednesday night be-
cause, as he explained, four hang
ings were scheduled in that town for
Thursday, and he did not care to be
there when the grewsome legal trag-
edies were enacted.
According to the dispatches from
Montgomery the hangings turned out
| to be a bungling mess, one of the
victims of the gallows living thirty
minutes and was groaning and gasp
ing for breath
| The first person to mount the scat
fold was c. Walter Jones, white
man convicted of the murder OF
Sloan Rowan in a railroad train at
the terminal station. The trap was
sprung under Jones at 6:1S O'Clock.
In rapid succession Arnold Gilmer,
John Adams and Coleman German
gave up their lives in expiration of
their crimes.
4 grewsome spectacle was pre-
scented to those who by law were al
lowed to witness the execution. The
rope slipped when Jones fell and
gradually Jones strangled to death,
the fall failing to break his neck.
When Jones dropped his toes touched
the cement floor and deputies had to
hold his body off the floor. Half
groans coupled with the gasps of the
dying man were heard by the specta-
tors and for "a minutes Jones body
nuive7ed and ierked The trap was
sprung at 6:18 O'Clock and Jones was
not pronounced dead until 645
O'Clock
The next man to mount the scat
fold was Arnold Gilmer, a white
man, condemned for the murder of
Mrs. Lucille Tippetts in rooming
house on December 30, 1911. Dep
uty Mattel turned the trap door loose
at 1913 O'Clock and physicians pro-
nounced Gilmer dead at 1928.
John Adams, a negro who killed
Policeman T. w. Berry almost three
years ago, bade every person good
bye" before he went to his death,
and told his pastor, Rev. A. J.
Stokes. to meet him in the other
world. The trap was sprung at
1850 O'Clock and Adams died at 1904
O'Clock.
Coleman German, negro, was
sent to his end at SIS o'clock, and
his heart stopped beating at 1874.
He was convicted of the murder OF
his paramour

COUPLE WED IN BATHING SUIT.
The Most Unique Nuptial Event That
Has Yet Been Recorded.

A romance o. the sea, which nae
it's inception two weeks ago, when the
couple met for the first time in the
water at the bathing beach, had its
elimination at West Palm Beach;
FIa., Thursday in most novel and
original manner when Miss Linda
Lund and Frederick Kirchner were
married in the surf.
The bride, was dressed in hand
some silk bathing costume. In her
hair were arranged orange blossoms
a large bouquet of which she carried
in her hands.
The groom was dressed in his bath
ing trunks. The minister wore the
ordinary clerical costume. At the
appropriate moment the groom pro-
duced from a mysterious recess oil
his costume the wedding ring.
Several hundred people witnessed
the ceremony from the beach.

MOST UNIQUE OF LAW SUITS
DETECTIVE SUES TOWN TO RE
COVER GAMBLING MONEY.
Was Employed to Hunt Blind Tigers
in DOeTun. Did Some Work Here
in Dawson Chasing Them.

The city OF Doerun, that thriving
municipality best known by its new
county aspirations, has been made
defendant in one of the most unique
suits ever filed in the superior court
in Colquitt county.
j. A. Patterson, an Atlanta detect
/ i've who was in Dawson some weeks
ago and was instrumental in turn
ing up two or three blind tigers, is
the plaintiff in the case. Patterson is
suing on an open account for 1929
for expenses alleged to have been
incurred while in the employ OF the
city of Doerun, his particular bust
ness being to catch the dispensers of
blind tiger whiskey.
In his suit Patterson has an item1z-
ed statement enumerating all of the
things for which money is alleged to
have been spent, and this is the part
| Of the case that makes it in class
by itself.
In the staement of his account
Patterson has charged the city with
money lost in crap and poker games,
crackaloo, matching and various and
sundry forms of gambling. The city
of Doerun is also asked to pay for
the blind tiger booze bought by the
detective at IS cents pint, and add
ed TO this is 25 cents for a tip; then
| in the statement he calls attention to
the fact that sometimes he gave mon
ev TO fellows to bring him booze and
they failed to return with the money
or whiskey either, and to cap the
climax he asks the court to have him
reimbursed for the difference in the
price of a ticket from Doerun to Al
bany and the price he had to pay,
because the agent could not make the
change
The various forms of law-breaking
/ in which the detective had to engage
pursuing his arduous labors OF
hounding down the nefarious blind
tigers of Doerun was committed
something over two years ago, so he
doesn't fear any danger by confess
/ ing to them.
Col. ]. l.. Bowling, former mayor
of Doerun. states that Patterson was
employed at $500 day to drive
away blind tiger operators and that
he was paid the entire amount the
city promised him.
When the suit comes up for hear
ing it will prove an interesting one
regardless of how it terminates.

a thousand delegates were present,
decided to refuse membership in the
order to any one engaged in the liq-

agent or employee, and ruled that any
member now in good standing who
should engage in the traffic should
forfeit all Masonic rights and privi-

The man of today who takes I
drink during business hours is very
likely to step into a drug store to
obtain something to kill the smell of
it, remarks the Boston Advertiser,
and wisely draws the inference: 1T
is becoming apparent to an increas-
ing number of persons that drink and
business do not belong together.
Query: What legitimate department
of human activity does belong with
the drink evil?

w. G. T. u NOTES
BY The Dawson Chapter.

The Baltimore Sun says: THE
parcel post regulations strike blow
for the prohibition cause. They eX-
clude from the mails all intoxicants
and also fire arms and their parts.
This provision was placed in the reg
ulations by Robert S. Sharp of Ten
nessee, a member of the commission.
The effect of the regulation will be
felt by the mail order whiskey houses
of Baltimore, which have a large eli
entele in the dry territory. There
was some opposition to this regula-
ton on the ground that the govern
ment licenses the manufacture OF
whiskey and other intoxicants, but
brands it as contraband in the opera
ton of the parcel post system.
Noting with prophetic eye the an
ti-drinking regulations and prohibi-
lions of the railroads and baseball
clubs the Journal of the American
Medical Association says: The world
is moving; the old fetch of personal
liberty at whatever cost of danger to
the public at large seems to be losing
its power. The time may come When
every man to whom the life and I'D
ertv of others are entrusted may be
expected or even required to be abb
stemious as the ball player and rail
road employe.

LITTLE STORIES OF SUCCESS

ANDERSON OF "BlG HUNGRY"
Thomas Anderson, as anyone will
readily agree who inspects his pic
ture, would not stand much chance in
a beauty contest, but when it comes
TO contesting for prizes on cotton and
corn he is a sure winner and always
carries off the blue ribbon.
Some fifteen years ago Anderson
attended the Bible School Depart
ment of Tuskogee Institute. one of
the requirements of all students in
the Bible School is that they must
work on the farm and thus acquire |
some knowledge of scientific agri-
culture Anderson did not impress
his teachers as being likely to startle
the world with his preaching and his
career after graduating proved that
their impressions were correct After
graduating from the Bible School and
trying his hand at preaching for a
while, he decided that the 'P. CT
call for him meant Pillow Corn" and
this he proceeded to do.
About five miles from Tuskegee
Institute the land was so poor that
1t was only with difficulty that
fuss could be raised upon it. The
people who lived there hardly ever
raised enough to eat and so the dis
tr1ct came to be known as big Hun
CRY. Some twelve years ago a
number of Northern philanthropists
decided to buy a tract of land and
sell it off in small lots to Negroes
The land in big Hungry" was of
course, for sale, dirt cheap. Four
thousand acres were purchased and
offered in small lots to colored farm
ers. Every one said that the pro-
ject would fail because only the
farmers who had nothing could be in
duced to settle on the sandy hills.
One of the farmers to locate there
was Thomas Anderson. In his own
words he had nothing but a hard
time a good wife and a two year
old boy" His credit, however, was
good and he bought forty acres of
land on time Within five years,
by constant, patient toll and close
economy, he paid for the forty acres
Yof land, three good mules, three cows
and 5000 worth of farm implements.
In one year with one mule, he raised
more than 5000 worth of farm pro
ducts.
In 1911 the State of Alabama Of
fered prizes in every county in the
state to any farmer, white or black.
who would raise the largest amount
of corn on one acre of land. Ander-
son, although living on what was
considered some of the poorest land
in his county, decided that he would
enter the contest. By raising 65
bushels Of corn on one acre, he won
the States prize of $25 He also
won a number of prizes at the Coun-
ty Fair. Altogether his cotton and
corn that year brought him S55 i'm
prize money In other years he has
been equally successful. In fact, he
has never lost prize for which he
has entered into competition.
What Anderson has done on some
of the poorest land in Macon County,
Alabama, can be duplicated in every
section of the South if the Negro
farmers will use the improved meth
DDS of farming such as are taught by
the Department Of Agriculture OF the
Tuskegee Institute
