GEORGIA'S SUITS STRIKE A SNAG
Passage of Equal Suffrage Measure
in This State Would Give Negro
Women RIGHT to Vote.

ATLANTA.-The suffragettes of
Georgia have struck a snag on which
their fair-sailing craft is likely to go
to smash 1t has been learned that
the passage of an equal suffrage
measure in Georgia would inevitably
give to negro women the right TO
vote Maryland suffragettes, admit
ting this fact, it is declared, are
already busy with a plan to try to
educate negro women so that they
will be able to handle the ballot in
diligently, and one prominent suf-
frage leader, Mrs. Elizabeth King Ell
lott, has bequeathed her large estate
to the cause of woman suffrage and
to the education of negroes.
Some of the Maryland women, it
is reported, were opposed TO giving
the vote to negro women, but when
the leaders pointed out that one
would inevitably bring the other,
they continued their campaign for
statewide suffrage and at the same
time proposed to educate the cOlored
people so that they will be able to
vote intelligently.
Since these facts have been known,
good many well-known Georgia
women who had given their support
to the suffrage movement are hold
ing back until some solution of this
new complication is offered.

LEEsBURG TO HAVE POWER.

Albany Company Has Much of Trans
mission Line Constructed.
Leesburg residents are expecting
to have electric current for both
lights and power by July the fourth.
Such is the promise made them by
the Albany Power company through
its manager, J. s. Killebrew, who is
a visitor there.
Already the transmission line to
convey the current has been con-
structed for a good part of the dis
lance from the plant of the power
company, which is about three miles
on this side of Albany at the juno
ton of Kinchafoonee and Muckalee
creeks.

BUSBEE AGAIN CONVICT
LIVED LONG TIME IN MISSISSIP-
PI AND REARED FAMILY.
Tells Why He Escaped From Turpcn-
tine Camp in LOwndes County
Ten Years Ago.

| len ears Ago
A case parallel in some particulars
to that of Edgar Stripping is found in
the arrest and bringing back tc
Georgia of Tom P. Busbee, sent UP
for five years from Wilcox county on
burglary charge, and who escaped
from a Lowndes county turpentine
camp after serving two years.
That was ten years ago under the
old convict lease system. Busbee
went to Mississippi, where he changed
his name, and for the past five years
has been a respected citizen of Wig
gins, Miss. A few days ago some one
recognized him as an escaped con-
vict and sent word to Georgia. To
use his own words, "On last Thurs
day 1 stepped off my front porch into
the arms of a Georgia officer, who
told me l was under arrest"
Busbee told the story of his life
freely and with a frankness that car
ried conviction. He said he was born
and reared in Greene county, but
lived for years in Abbeville. Let him
tell it:
81 was working in a store at Able
ville-I was 81 years old; I am now
40. Some money was missing, a
small sum, $45, 1 think. A negro
boy, Joe Walker, was arrested. He
admitted stealing the money, but
said l saw him do it. Well of course
he was a liar-had a grudge against
me, I suppose. Later on he COM
pletely exonerated me. He took
them where he had buried the money
and gave back the entire sum intact.
And he swore I had nothing to do
with it,"
He said they tried and convicted
him anyway, and he was sent up for
five years.
Il didn't have single kick COM
ing, lease system or no lease system,
and I wouldn't have escaped if some
thing had not happened. The food
was all right, the treatment was all
right, 1 was a good behavior man and
likely would have gotten out before
my time.
This is a hard thing to tell you,
but my family, wife and children,
were living at Della, Ga. One day
there came a storm. My baby was
struck by lightning and killed. ~
They told me about it. What
would you have done? I thought
about my wife and the other little
kids, and the sorrow they must be
feeling with their father a convict,
and the little kid dead, so l decided
would just have to see them, if only
for a day. I went to the funeral, the
horror of the convict stripes came
to me. So 1 said I wouldn't go back
unless was forced to do it.
81 went to Mississippi, got job
and sent for my family. We were
happy and prosperous, my boys are
all grown, two are engineers. I
thought life looked pretty good Then
came this. I'll be a man and bear it.
Busbee was brought back by R. NJ.
Gardner, of the prison commission.
He was sent to the Rockdale county
camp Sunday to complete his SEN
tence.

Good News for Sufferers
From Kidney Diseases

The kidneys. from their delicate con-
struction and the filterinE work re
quired OF them, are more susceptible
TO disease than. any other organ in the
wonderful machinery OF the human
body. The most depIorable feature Of
kidney disease consists in Its subtle
and delusive character. and so insid-
ious are its ravages that many vic
Tins 90 not even suspect its existence
until the advanced stages have been
reached Few people, after reaching
the period Of maturity, are in posses
sion Of absolutely healthy kidneys; It
follows that the greatest care and
vigilance llUst be exercised TO keep
these organs free from the dangers
that constantly beset them.
Since the discovery Of Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Remedy about
81 years ago, many sufferers from
kidney diseases have been benefited
by its healing properties Many ply
sicians consider it an excellent remedy
in the treatment Of diseases Of the
kidneys, liver and blood Get it to
and 500 sizes.
