GOOD PEOPLE OF CAROLINA
Will REDEEM The STATE

delegates to the South Carolina state
convention for an anti-Blease conven-
ton in Columbia Friday, July 81, 10
concentrate on two or three anti
Blease gubernatorial candidates. The
call says its appears to be the undivid-
ed opinion of those citizens of South
Carolina, who would redeem their
state from Bleaseism, that the present
situation demands the elimination of
at least three or more avowedly anti
Blease candidates, in order that the
anti-Blease vote of the state may not
be 1ded. The call declares that
Bleaseism lis doing more injury to the
state than anything with which she
has been confronted since 1876"

GEORGIAN'S Wife
FILES PETITION
ASKING DIVORCE
SUIT IS FILED AT CAPITAL
Mrs. Davis Makes Many
Specific Charges

Washington, D. c., July 25.-Mrs.
Anna H. Davis yesterday filed peti
tion in the supreme court of the Dis
trict of Columbia, asking for absolute
divorce and alimony from her hus-
band, Britt W. Davis, of Valdosta, sec
retary to Representative j. Randall
Walker, of the Eleventh district.
The petition alleges that her hus-
band stays out late and that one Of
the humiliating things he does at
such times is to come to their apart
ment and make campaign speeches.
She alleges that he declares he is
going to run for congress and when
making speeches walks up and down
the floor for hours at time, jesticu-
lating and talking. They have a son,
not yet months DID, and the petition
alleges that the noise disturbs both
her and the infant as well as the other
occupants of the apartment.
The petition says that though Mr..
Davis receives a salary of $3.50 a
month and owns real estate in Geor-
gia to the value of $4,000, he has re-
fused to contribute anything for cloth
ing for herself and baby.
Since their marriage, she alleges, ne
has bought her only two wash dresses
and when she asked him for money he
told her to get what she wanted on
his credit. She vase unsuccessful in
her attempt to do this, she says, ex-
cept once when a local department
store credited her with a purchase Of
s.. She declares she has had to rely
on the charity of her sister and her
friends for money to clothe herself
and baby.
Mrs. Davis states in the petition that
they were married in Rockville, Md,
Oct 8, 1912, and that within three
months he began abusing her, coming
home "at all hours of the night" and
swearing and disturbing her health,
happiness and rest. Their baby, Ran
dali W. Davis, was born March 81,
last.

Agents of the national constitution

Coincident with this came further

HARPER FEARING
LYNCHING PARTY
Spirited Hence
IS CARRIED TO COLUMBUS
Denies That RS Committed
Crime Alleged

Speeding in his automobile through
out the midnight hours between Amer
icus and Columbus, Sheriff Q. w. Full.
Ter, of Sumter, in charge of j. 3.
Harper, the young white man captur-
ed by L. X. Bagley at DeSoto Friday
night, landed his prisoner in the Col
umbus Jail early yesterday morning,
and before 10 o'clock had returned
here by the same route. 1t was a
long ride of 1876 miles there and back,
but Sheriff Fuller made it without
mishap.
Harper is the young man wanted at
the little town of Rebecca, near Cor
dele, upon the serious charge of rape,
and the trip to Columbus was made at
his earnest request.
When Harper was delivered to Sher-
iff Fuller he at once asked that he be
carried to some larger city, as he
feared for his life at the hand of the
posse of citizens whom he knew were
hot upon his trail. Sheriff Fuller
would readily have kept Harper in the
Sumter Jail, but for his exhibition of
fear, and desire to be carried to Col
umbus. Climbing into his car with
the hunted man at his side, Sheriff
Fuller made the trip safely, and
Harper is now in the Muscogee jail.
! To Sheriff Fuller the fugitive, who
was in abject terror for his safety,
talked freely of the affair at Rebecca.
He strenuous!y denied having as
saulted the woman in the case, but
the pursuing posse, he said, would
not believe his story, or allow him to
prove to the contrary. At one stage
of the chase, Harper said, his pursu-
ers came within a few yards of his
hiding place in a brushpile, but fail
ed to locate him.
Harper, no doubt, will be allowed -
remain in the Columbus Jail until ex-
citement at Rebecca cools down
bit. He worked upon a farm there,
and is a young man of good appear
ance and apparently twenty-five years
of age.

LIGHT INFANTRY
FULLY ENJOYING
The ENCAMPMENT
SOLDIER BOYS IN AUGUSTA
Having Great Time at The
EnCampmGnt

That the Americus Light Infantry
men, now at the Georgia military en-
campment at Augusta, are having a
generally good time along with their
arduous duties as soldiers is reflected
in the messages sent home. The
Americus company carried forty-three
men and the appearance of the soldier
boys has created a most favorable i'm
preston. All of the "a. L. l." boys
are veterans at camp life and take to
it as naturally as a hungry man
would to a free lunch, or the proverb-
ial duck to the water. The camp site,
where nearly three thousand Georgia
troops are at annual practice, is on
the Augusta sandhills, finely elevated
and delightfully."- cool. The encamr-
ment thus far has been a great sue
cess and the work of striking tents
this mid-week will be a source of Ie-
gret to all.
