It's quite reasonable to sup
pose that the broader the

AT kraus Bros. there are
many fine KrauS-Made models

Suspended Head Of
BostWick Schools
Dead in Mystery

MADISON, GA, Jan 30.-Profes-
sor Crawford Aiken, recently sus-
pended as principal of the Bostw1ck
Morgan County, schools because OF
his chastisement of one of the pupils,
to-day was found lying on the floor
of his room with a bullet wound in
his head. He died within a few
hours. The Coroners Jury returned
verdict of suicide.
Professor Aiken had been the storm
center recently in a number of sensa-
tional incidents, one of which was
the threshing of "Peeping Tom
Those who believe that Aiken COM
mitted suicide say that he had become
worried over the trouble in which he
was involved through his methods OF
discipline. His suspension resulted
from the whipping of Emmett Carey
son of John NJ. Carey, a prominent
resident.
The father swore out warrant for
assault and battery. Aiken gave bond
and demanded a Grand Jury indict-
ment. The excitement became so
great that the principal was suspend
ed pending an investigation by the
County Board of Education.
Aiken admitted he whipped the Lao
severely, but said it WAS because Ca
rev stubbornly refused to remove his
