WILL PROBE LANDS DEATH
LEE COUNTY GRAND JURY TO DO
SO FOLLOWING REQUESTS.
Was the White Convict Who Was
Killed Near Philema While in
Charge of ALBANY Officers.


LEESBURG, Ga.-That the killing
OF John Land, an escaped white con-
Wet, who was shot down near Phi
lena while in custody of members
of the Albany police force last Au-
gust, will be fully investigated by
the grand jury of the present session
of Lee county superior court was as
sured when Judge Littlejohn request
ed careful investigation of the case.
In his charge to the grand jury Judge
Littlejohn made the statement that
he had received more than one letter
from residents of Lee and Dougherty
counties asking that the circum-
stances of the killing be investigated
by the grand jury.
Land, who went under several
aliases but was finally identified as
John Land, killed Policeman Harris
of Albany just before he was arrested
near Philema by party of Albany
police officers and county authorities,
among whom was assistant Chief of
Police Conagham, who is said to have
shot Land as the prisoner was united
and showed from the automobile in
which the arresting party was going
back to Albany. Among other ac-
counts that have been current here
is that Land was shot while mem
Der of the party still held his arm.
The investigation of the affair by the
Lee county grand jury, as the shoot
ing of Land took place on Lee county
soil, bids fair to disclose some sen
sational developments.

SWAMP DRAINAGE IN GEORGIA
Eight Hundred Acres of Bottom Land
Has Been Reclaimed in One Dis
trict of Gwinnett County.

The Haynes Creek Drainage Dis
trict has finished its work in ditching
and draining Haynes creek, and the
contractors have shipped their ma
chinery back to North Carolina.
Haynes creek has been ditched
from Kennerly's bottoms to McElroy
shoals, distance of eight miles. The
ditch is eight feet deep and twenty
four feet wide. About 500 acres of
fine bottom land have been reclaimed
and made dry. Already much of tho
land is in cultivation, and good crops
of corn will be made on it this year.
The cost of the enterprise was
$4,000. Bonds to this amount were
voted and sold.
This is the first work OF its kind
in the state and has attracted much
attention. Thousands of people
have witnessed the big dredge at
work.
1t is stated that the bottoms from
the beginning to the end OF the ditch
are perfectly dry. Heretofore, much
of it was under water, and practically
every foot of it is dry and can be cul-
tivated.

He STIRRED UP MUCH WRATH
DELEGATE FROM INDIA CRITI-
CTsES WORK OF MISSIONARIES.
Were About to Expel Him From the
Meeting, But Such Action Wasn't
Taken. Stands by Interview.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.-Dr. Ke-
shava Deva Shastri of Benares, India,
who today attended the International
Purity Congress, aroused the ire OF
many delegates, and it was demanded
that his name be stricken from the
nrogram. At a business meeting 1t
was decided not to do so, and Dr..
Shastri probably will deliver his
speech on tomorrow program. d.
The trouble grew out of an inter
view printed in a local newspaper,
which was construed as an attack on
the christian missions in his naive
land.
Among the statements attributed
to Dr.. SShastri and to which eXcep-
lions were taken, as appearing In the
published interview were:
'If Americans knew how much
money is being spent in missionary
work and how little is being accom-
plished the donations for PROSECUTING
would at once stop.
Christianity has gained practical
ly no Roadway in India.
There is little prospect that the
Hindus in any great number ever will
be converted to the christian religion.
"As to the low class of Hindus the
missionary system is one of bartering
material aid for converts.
1.-The missionary lives like lord,
with a retinue of servants"
DR.. Shastri told the committee ap-
pointed to act on his case that he
stood by the interview in every de-
tail.
Il was not intending any attack, "
he said: Il was asked questions about
conditions in my country and told
about them"

Death dealing automobiles in New
York city so far this year have killed

six children fell victims to the swift
Iy moving motor cars during October

to its speed and to the volume of its

of course, accidental. Children play

GOT DRUNK AS EXPERIMENT
Fellow With jag Goes Free on a
Novel Plea to Court. Wanted TO
Sec How 1t Felt.

The ordinary routine OF the all
night court in New York was broken
when one of several prisoners ar
raigned on charges of intoxication
begged to be excused because his
drunkenness was part of scientific
experiment he was making to deter
mine the effects of alcohol. The pris-
oner was George L. Dolbert, who said
he was a physician.
81 have been a student of alcohol
ism for the past twenty years, he
told the court, land l did this just to
ascertain what the feelings are that
accompany a state of inebriation.'
Magistrate Breen accepted the plea
and discharged the prisoner upon
condition that he should conduct any
further experiment at home.

BIRTH RATE ALMOST NOTHING.
Decrease in French Village From
Thirty-Seven to One Per 1000.


There is an extraordinary social
phenomenon at Montreaux-les- Mines,
in france, where the birth rate has
fallen lower in the last three years
than in 100 years in the remainder OF
France.
The cause given is the democratic
socialistic trend of thought following
two strikes The town once had
birth rate of thirty-seven per thous-
and. 1t now has one per thousand.
The first strike, against the mine
owners interference with miners
opinions in politics, lasted sixteen
days and was decided in the miners
favor. Then the municipality became
socialist. and thus remains.
The second fight, for an increase
of pay, was lost after a fight of three
months. 1t ruined the workers, who
were obliged to capitulate.

Georgia Bananas and Oranges.
Last week we had something to
say about the possibilities of this sec
ton, with regard to raising tropical
fruits. The subject was suggested by
Mr.. r. B. Martin bringing to town a
well developed ripe banana. Now
comes Mr.. Truitt Martin with a bag
full of fine, large, sweet oranges,
which Mr.. A. A. Pruett brought to
town Tuesday morning. They are as
fine as any Florida orange we have
ever seen.
Surely, this is Gods own country,
and we can have anything we want
to have. The only thing standing in
the way of every man in this country
having all growing about that he
wants is downright laziness and ig-
norance. This leads us to remark that
we know of one man in Tiff county
who has several acres planted in Sat
suma oranges. which are now bear
ing, some of the trees bearing as
many as one thousand oranges the
present season. -Shellman Sun.

The Beautiful Land of Jamaica

The Beautiful Land of Jamaica
From the deck of our ship we behold
Jamaica. its royal palms bowed to the
breezes, bidding welcome to us who were
fortunate enough to visit its shores.
As we slipped into our dock, the black
boys swan alongside. and we threw
coppers into the waters, and they dove
down and fetched them, up. Thirty years
ago had read the story of these boys
who dive where sharks often swim and it
was as though had seen it all before.
Say, Sahl" the black rascals shouted as a
signal for coins. Down, down, they would
go, always finding the reward for their
labor. At times dozen or more would
sing weird. plaintive native songs for our
entertainment. One day in one of their
dug-outs which rowed beside our ship,
we spied a happy. grinning Jamaican,
who sat in the stern, clad in hat. neck
tie land little else beside" All eyes from
the ships side followed this strange, fas-
cinating creature, whose face shone like
dull copper. "It's Bulliken," discovered
someone. Sure enough, here was liv-
ing creature that spread infectious merri-
ment among all who beheld.
Jamaica is British, and has $4,000 peo-
pie, of whom perhaps less than 10000
are white. Labor is worth from twenty
FIVE to sixty cents day and the natives
live on fish. rice. mangoes. cocoanuts and
other fruits. They are strong. swarthy
/ people. Kingston is clean, attractive
city and there are occasional reminders OF
the earthquake of seven years ago. The
streets are filled with women who swarm
about and beg you to buy their fruit
Cab drivers follow your foot steps if you
are ambitious enough to walk. The
chances are that you will ride, as you can

| The British maintain great gardens in
which are displayed in luxuriant splendol
the trees. plants and flowers of the tropics
and it is a wonderful sig Mt for the northern
eyes to behold the cultivation of grape
fruit, oranges, lemons, mangoes. bananas
pineapples. coffee. spices. cinnamon
