POWELL CHARGED
With MURDER Of
DENNIS DICKSON
KILLING ON WAYCROSS ST.
Powell in Jail for Seeming
Bloody Murder

Waycrss, Ga, March 2-In the heart
o. Waycross and near a side entrance
to the Grand theatre, Denny Dickson,
aged %, Of Patterson, was shot and
instantly killed early Sunday. c. G.
Powell and Nose Steedley, well known
men of Bristol, are in Jail charged
with the crime, Powell facing a muir
der charge, and Steedley as being an
accessory.
The men came to Waycross late
Saturday night from Offerman on the
train. 1t is said Powell made threats
against Dickson, fiourishing a pistol
and knife. AT Offerman, he said he
would get Dickson later. A SO pistol
was found on Powell when he was ar
rested, but with all cartridges intact
However, investigation disclosed one
empty shell and four loaded cartridges
within fifty feet Of the spot where
Dickson was found
In Jail today Powell declared he
knew nothing of the shooting and was
innocent He said he did not use his
gun. Steedley, shortly before the shoot
ing, registered at local hotel under
the name of C. G. Miller, he having
given several explanations for this,
None Of them agree, according to what
he told Sheriff Pittman when the ar,
rest was made. Powell came to Bris-
toll three years ago from Laurens coun-
ty and has a wife and three children
He was at one time employed in Way-
cross.
Steedley is a relative of Deputy Sher-
if Steedley, of Ware, and is in the tur-
pentine business. He says he will de-
mand an immediate hearing Accord
ing to Powell's statement, Powell and
Dixon had a fuss year ago about a
5O-cent piece used in matching for
drinks at a drug store. Dickson took
the money, claiming he matched TO"
the half and not the drinks. Circum-
stances indicate that Dickson was held
by the right arm when the shooting
was done The pistol was hid in leg
gins afterwards, it is alleged.
The victim was a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ben Dickson, prominent in Pierce
county, and besides his parents, is sur
yivsd BY two sisters, Misses Carrie AMI
Vera Dickson. His body was shipped
to Patterson for intermsnt. The cor
oner's inquest returned a verdict tC
the effect that Dickson came to his
death by a pistol wound inflicted by
Powell, and that same was murder
The jury directed that Steedley be he (
as an accessory.

An episode that tickled official
Washington immensely occurred
at the recent brilliant reception
at the White House by President
and Mrs. Wilson to the Army
and Navy. It is an episode that
at first blush seems ungaIIant to
repeat, but nevertheless it is go
ing the rounds of the drawing
rooms here by reason of the I'M
popularity of the ''lady in the
case" who is the wife of cabi-
net officer under a former ad-
ministration. She was cordially
and generally disliked during her
regime and made so many out
spoken aud powerful enemies
that at times the situation grew
so serious as to cause surprise
that the cabinet officer did not
resign his portfolio. But he did
not, and at the recent White
House reception this lady was a
conspicuous figure. Through the
courtesy Of the First Lady of the
Land the ex-cabinet hostess was
invited to the sacred precincts of
the Blue Room. She took her
place directly behind her own
successor, one of the most graci-
GUS and winning of the present
cabinet, and, not content with
this conspicuous place, the lady
gave expression to unpleasant
remarks ard criticisms which
were overheard by a number of
guests.
An acquaintance from the last
administration greeted her with
a pleasant remark about it's
seeming a little strange not to
see her in her old place, and one
speech led to another until the
lady herself shrugged her should
ers and said: "a case Of every
dog has his day." to which un-
gracious remark a statesman of
fame, boiling with suppressed
anger, brutally blurted out, yes,
and cats, too" and then walked
hurriedly away, the lady's eyes

Our music teacher, Miss Fannie
Lee Dickson, has not been able
to attend to her regular duties
about the music class for several
days on account of the illness of
her mother.
Miss Lottie Hill Henderson,
instructor of Domestic Science,
spent the past week at our school,
Our Sunday school is progress
ing very nicely under the super
intendency of Mr.. G. G. Reeves.
County School Superintendent,
R. J. Prentiss, visited our school
Monday, and gave US quite a
short, though very interesting

The school grounds are looking
much better since Mr.. Beasley

LYNNWOOD ENTERTAINs.
A most enjoyable evening was
spent by every one old and young
at the auditorium of the Ashton
High School Friday evening when
tho Lynnwood High School car
ried out a most interesting pro-
gramme, consisting of comic
dramas, readings, songs and
drills. Both the pupils and teach
ers are to be congratulated on
the manner in which they played
their roles. At six o'clock a
course of hot chocolate and cake
were served to the visitors by
the boys and girls Of the Ashton
High School, in which sixty par
ticipated. The net proceeds from
the entertainment went to the
building of the Library.
SOME ADVICE TO THOSE
PLAYING AGAINST ASHTON.
For infield candidates. Have a
care about crowding in when
playing the Ashton High School
nine. Dolphus Reeves didn't
establish his reputation thru his
bunting. When taking a throw
to a base against Robitzsch re-
member that Quincy does not al
ways blow for a crossing.
For men at bat. Never step in
front of Cecil Harris fast one.
You owe duty to your family,
besides hospital bills are costly.
For outfieIders. With Theo
Middlebrooks on bases, when the
ball is hit into your territory,
never stop to examine whether
the blow split the DOVER or other
wise damaged the ball. Theo
sometimes discredits the axiom
that a straight line is the short
est distance between two points.
and anyway your throw might
be few inches off the bag.
DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT
The Ashton High School pupils
will give a most delightful enter
tainment at the Lynnwood High
School auditorium Friday even

Camp Candlesticks.

made with a piece Of stick. Choose a
straight stick abolt eight inches long
and one inch thick. With a good knife
sharpen one end as you would a lead
pencil or a stake. Then split the other.
end into four parts, taking care not to
allow any to snap. and strengthen the
point where they meet by binding with
string. The candles can then be placed
