CHAs. GRAHAM IS CAUGHT
ON CHARGE OF MURDER
ALLEGED SLAYER OF MARSHAL
NEWBERN AT BROXT0N NOW IN
JAIL r. .-.
(CopyrightD

Douglas, Ga, March 24.-Charlei
Graham was robught here and put in
Jail last night charged with, shooting
and killing Lawrence Newbern, town
marshal of Broxton. He was arrested
near Hazlehurst. ~,.-.
Graham shot the marshal when the
officer attempted to arrest him at
Broxton for disorderly conduct. The
prisoner also is charged with wound e
ing his brother, l. T. Graham, who was
struck by stray bullet fired at the
constable aiding Newbern.
Graham was wounded at Broxton
Saturday night by citizens attempting
to effect his capture. Feeling is very
strong against Graham in this county,
owing to the fact that the deceased,
Newerbn, was a member of a pioneer
family in Coffee county and was ex-
ltensively connected.
Judge Quincy is holding court at
bonneville this week and it is thought
that he will upon his return call spe-
cial session of court to try Graham.

Need one word of tribute to the
merit of judicious advertising be added
to that paid by Col. Mercer? Surely
nothing need be said beyond few
words of explanation.
Quite recestly, Col. Mercer advertis-
ed in the Times-Recorder the sale of
two or three selected varieties of pro-
life cotton seed. He had at that time
several thousand surplus ubshels OF
seed upon his Elladale Estate in Ter
rell county, and Col MERGERS en-
dorsement of their quality was suffi-
Gent to sell every bushel of them.
The result is that his supply is ex-
hausted, and he scarcely has seed
enough left for planting Is there 4
stronger endorsement of judicious
newspaper advertising?
