MAYOR J. N. DEDMAN
HEARTILY IN FAVOR
HIGH SCHOOL BONDS
GIVES A STRONG STATEMENT
SHOWING WHY ISSUE SHOULD
BE PASSED.
A PET MEASURE OF CITY HEAD
Believes That 1t Would Pass Without
Dissenting Vote If Real Needs Of
the City Schools Were Thoroughly
Known by the People.

Il am most heartily in favor of the
proposed bond issue for $4,000 to
erect high school for the pupils of
Columbia and the county. 1t is a
matter upon which have been work.
ing since have been mayor, and /
am going to exert every effort in my
power to have the measure passed by
the people when it comes to a vote on
April 15." "a
This was the statement of Mayor
Joseph NJ Dedman on Saturday when
interviewed on the new high school.
Mr.. Dedman, next to Prof. Harris, is
probably the best friend of the school
interests of the city. He has always
been an advocate Of anything that
will promote their welfare and in
crease their efficiency. He has CIV
en- increasingly of his time and ef-
forts to them, and is wide awake to
the needs that they have.
THE high school Is an actual ne
cessity. have been to the schools
and know how cramped and crowded
they are. Some provision must be
made before next year, for the num-
bers are so great that they cannot be
housed and taught in the present
buildings. Under the direction OF
Prof. Harris and his corps of teach
ers, excellent work is being done un-
der present conditions, but they will
simply be obliged to haze more room
in order to carry on this work. Now
is the opportunity and fitting time to
build and the people should pass the
bond issue 50 that the building can
be ready by next fall.
1T people will simply take the time
to go to the schools of fthe city and
see conditions as they are, l would
have no doubt Of the issue of the elec-
ton. 1t is simply question of get
ting them to acquaint themselves
with the real needs of the school in
terests of the city. When they do
this, they will be surprised at their
at the great work that Is
being done by them, and they will
pass without dissenting vote this
bond issue that means so much to
them"

MEAT THIEVES
PILLAGE HOUSES
ENTER RESIDENCES SOUTH OF
TOWN-MRS AKIN AMONG
SUFFERERS.

Robbers have been committing dep
relations among the residences near
the southern portion of the town.
They have been combining their rob-
berries mostly to taking chickens and
breaking into the smoke houses to
get meat. The meat supply among
a certain portion of the population of
the city seems to be running low, and
they are making forays upon the
farms and houses near town to tide
them over until it becomes more plen-
tiful.
Among the sufferers who have had
observation-disclosures pillaged is Mrs. Mel
win Akin, who lives two or three
miles from the city on the Culleoka
pike. She has lost several hens and
hams in the raids that the maruders
made.

a quarrel soon arose between them.
Owen was mad because he had lost,
and because Braden had beaten him
with marked deck of cards and a
pair of loaded dice. He was resolv-
ed to get even with him, and so he
upbraided him for it. A fight result.
ed, and Braden was shot five times
with 25-caliber pistol. Owen then
made his way hurriedly to Forgey's
stable, where his horse was, and in
his anxiety to allay the curiosity of
the night Waterman and prevent him
from seeing him in his excited condi-
ton, he told him that there was no
use in getting up, as he could easily
get his horse. With Mike Robinson,
his accomplice, declared Mr.. Voor-
HES, Owen then made his way down
the railroad past the electric light
plant, and then by back alley up to
South Main street, whence he went
home.
However, he said, there was not
only circumstantial, but also direct
testimony upon which Owen should
be convicted. Admitting that John
Foster, the eye witness, was the
drunkard the defense made him out
to be, yet he told the whole truth when
he said that he saw from his window
Owen and another man scuffling
across the street under the light and
witnessed with his own eyes the de-
PENDANT draw his pistol and shoot the
man dead. He declared that Foster
was telling the truth when he said
that Owen bent down over Bradens
body and took the money from the
dead mans pockets, leaving them
turned wrong side out He emphasiz-
ed the fact that in spite of all the
SANDER and abuse Of Foster and his

Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 14-At
the independent county convention
here this afternoon resolutions were
passed endorsing Hooper for. a third
term, endorsing Justice Williams for
supreme court and an independent
democrat for railroad commissioner.
Fusion was declared the one safe
road to travel. The state committee
was asked to call a convention at an
early date.

In an eloquent, convincing speech
of an hour, in which he outlined the
theory of the state, James c. Voor-
HES, of the local bar, opened the ar
gument in the noted George Owen
case, in which the defendant is
chcarged with numbering Bob Braden
at Mt. Pleasant on the morning of
August IL, 1913.
In dramatic way Mr.. VOORHEES,
told of the circumstances surrounding
the killing of Braden. He gave it as
his theory that Owen killed Braden
for the purpose of robbery. He de-
clared that Owen was the only man
who knew that Braden had money,
that Owen had Swallowed him during
the entire day, from the time Of meet
ing him at Forgeys stable that morn
ing until the murder that night, and
that he was the only possible and log
ical man who could and would have
done the dastardly deed. Owen was
the man, he declared, who had gam
bled with him, eaten with him, and
gone with him to all the low dives in
town. No one else had been intimate
with Braden the whole day long. Mr..
VOORHEES, stated that the evidence Of
Green Hampton could hot be contro-
verified on the point of how long they
were together at his restaurant. The
latter had declared on the stand that
they were in his place from little
after eight until nearly two o'clock.
They had played cards and Braden
had won Owens money. Finally, the
latter, in his desperation to win some
of it back, proposed to Braden that
they throw dice for S. shot, and
Braden won again. Chagrined, Ow-
en- would not drink with Braden, and
they went out into the street, where

SOWELL is AGAIN SECRETARY
John W. Fry Heads Committee to Re-
vive Interest in Erection of Large
Stock Building in city-Directors
Unit in Support of Bond Isse.

With augmented and increased en-.
thusiasm and activity, the newly
elected directorate of the Columbia
Board of Trade met Friday evening
at the Maury National Bank. Every
member seemed imbued with deter.
mination to really do something and
accomplish results in the next year.
If the new officers are to be taken as
a token and augury, great things may
be expected for the future prosperity
of the city and county.
Immediately upon being called to.
gether, John w. Fry was elected tenn.
porary chairman. The meeting then
proceeded to the election of officers.
William F. Anderson was unanimous
ly chosen as president, DR.. Dake Bid.
die and William Barker, first and sec.
ond vice presidents, respectively, and
Ashley Sowell secretary. Mr.. Ander.
son, on taking the chair, thanked the
directors warmly for the honor be.
slowed upon him in selecting him to
guide the destinies of the board dur
ing the coming year. He pledged the
best of his time, efforts, and activity
to the promotion of the interests of
the city. He announced that he and
Secretary Sowell would give out in
a day or so the members Of the stand
ing committees that will serve for the
next twelve months.
A committee of five to be headed
by John w. Fry, was appointed to re-
vive interest in the live stock build
ing. 1t was announced that the city
had a lot which could be secured for
the site of the structure if sufficient
funds were secured to erect it. New
interest was shown in the project, and
the committee will 60 actively to
work to see what can be done.
The directors were unit in their
support of the $4,000 bond issue for
a new high school. They decided not
only to support it with their votes,
but to pull off their coats and 60 to
work for it on the day of the cleo
ton. Numerous expressions of ap-
prevail came from nearly all of the d.
rectors of the issue.
The committee on railroads will at
once take up the question Of securing
lower coal rates for Columbia. The
matter was first discussed at the
court house meeting Thursday even
ing, and had gained wide approval by
the time of the Friday evening SEES
sion of the directors. 1t is thought
that good reduction can be secured
if the movement is pushed by the To-
cal board.
In addition to the above business
the directors discussed some other
projects, which on account of their
unmatured shape cannot be given out
for publication. They include several
industries which will probably be
brought to Columbia in short time
il satisfactory arrangements can be
made.

character the facts stood out as clear
as light that he had told the truth.
There was no way to get around it,

Tense in one of the most mastery eff
forts of his career Dissecting and
analysing the evidence of the case
with a master mind, he ridiculed in
telling language the theory of the
state that Owen was the man who
killed Braden and that John Foster
saw it with his eyes. He excoriated
the alleged eye witness in a scathing
manner, and declared that he had not
seen the light" until after his visit
to Lynnville where his testimony was
framed up. He declared that he was
confessed drunkard, thief and va
! Si"h'' gnu IhoI HO was uOI worthy
of belief upon his sworn oath. He
asserted that he believed that George
owen was telling the truth when he
said that Foster came to him in For
geys livery stable and told him that
he would testify for him for certain
sum of money. He stated that the
state did not even put very strong
stress upon his testimony, as was
proved by the fact that the attorneys
based their argument mainly upon the
circumstantial evidence in the case.
Furthermore, he declared that
thouhg Owen was bad man in some
respects, as he confessed on the
stand, yet no one had ever impeach-
ed his trustworthiness and veracity.
He had no motive for robbing Bra
den, as he had considerable money
and there was considerable found on
the person of the deceased. If he
had killed him for his money, he
would certainly have taken all that
he had.
He asserted that the story of Owen
was true in every respect. He told
the truth when he said that he went
home at about twelve thirty on the
night of the murder, and there were
numbers of witnesses to prove it.
Not less than three or four, whose
testimony could not be doubted, had
sworn that he passed their houses
slightly before one o'clock. There
could be no impeachment of their
statements, as they were utterly reli.
able, and the time at which they saw
him was fixed accurately beyond the
peradventure of doubt. He ridicul.
ed the story of Green Hampton, the
negro who ran the dive at which Bra.
den and Owen were gambling the
night of the murder. He declared
that he stood unsupported in the
statement that they were there from
a little after eight until nearly two
o'clock the next morning.
In his peroration, Gen. Garner
made an eloquent and convincing plea
for the life of his client. He assert
ed that there was not a scintilla of
trustworthy proof on which to con.
victc him. The case of the state was
based absolutely upon the testimony
of John Foster and Green Hampton,
neither of whom was worthy of belief
upon their oath.
