AUGUSTA, Ga. Feb. 4-Dr. A. N
Culberson, of Evans, Ga, a villag,
II miles from Augusta in Columbif
county, was shot to death about
O'Clock this morning by posse thaI
had been searching for him since
early in the night, according to re
ports which reached Augusta this
morning. Culbersons body is said
to have been riddled with bullets. He
was charged with assaulting 90
yearold married woman. the daugh
ter of a prominent citizen of Marti

years ago and began the practice of
medicine. He came from Washing

He was married but was not living
with his wife. Excitement at Evans
was intense, but all is quiet now.
At midnight last night Sheriff
Pmnkett of this county and three
deputies, responding to Il telephone
call from Magistrate West of Marti

ford of Columbia county had been
sent for but on account of the con.
dition of the roads, had not arrived
Reaching Martinez, the officers were
directed to Evans, three miles away.
At Evans there was a crowd assem-

LEADERS DEPENDING ON HIM
With 40 Votes as Against 48
Republicans, the AdmHnistra-
tion Leaders Are Making
Effort to Hold Off the Vote
on the Measure.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Vice
President Marshall probably will cast
the vote which decides whether the
administration ship bill lives or dies
at this session of congress If ex-
pectatiOns of the leaders are fulfilled,
it will be one of the few instances in
which the vice president has swung
the balance. The last was when the
late Vice President Sherman cast the
deciding vote for the Rristow reso-
luton which put constitutional
amendment for direct election of sen
ators before the people.
Administration Democrats reformed
their lines today and found they had
only As votes against the 4S Republi-
cans waiting to send the bill back to
the commerce committee without in
structions. Their only course was to
stave off vote while Senator New
lands hurries back from California
and Senator Smith of South Carolina
can leave the bedside Of his sick
wife. With their votes the Demo
Gratis figures. barring surprises, the
contest will be even and the vice
president will be called upon for the
deciding vote. Administration lead
ers count him with Them. With that
program before them, today's pro-
ceedings proceeded as part of the
plan to hold off a vote until the ar
rival of the two absent senators.
During the debate Senator Hoke
Smith said:
at is understood that if the bill
as now before the senate goes to a
vote it will be beaten 1t also is un-
derstood that if 1t is amended ma
jorty of the senate will vote for it."
Reinforcements for both sides in
the senate fight over the administra-
ton ship bill arrived today, but APP
parently did not change the situa-
ton.
Senator Lewis, Democrat, hurried
back from Asheville, but his vote was
offset by the arrival of Senator Fall,
Republican, of New Mexico. The
lines on a vote on Senator Clarke's
motion to recommit the bill without
instructions and effectually @tilling it
for the present session were estimated
by leaders to be so close that Vice
President Marshall probably would
cast the deciding vote. When the
senate met at noon both sides were
maneuvering for an advantage.

ROADS IN GOOD CONDITION
Despite Recent Heavy Rains Practl.
cally Every Road in County Is
in Excellent Shape.

Superintendent Higginbotham with
his conVicts have been doing some ex-
cellent work on the county roads dur
ing the past few months, and the va
rious public roads of the county are
now In the best condition in the his
tory of the county. This is true de.
spite the fact that it was thought
that the roads would be more or less
damaged by the unusually heavy
rains of the past few months. Recent
ly the convict gang has been at work
on the public road from Buffalo
swamp through TO sew miles this
side of Brookman, and a great i'm.
provement has been made.
Your county has as good roads as
any In Georgia" said visitor yester-
day, who had made trip over the
county, but | notice that the large
lumber carts are doing much damage
to them. This should be stopped In
some way, for just as sure as these
carts continue to use the roads they
are going to be badly cut up, and fin
ally will become almost impossible to
travel"

GEN. VILLA MAKES
SELF PRESIDENT

MAKES CAPTURES.

FL PASO, Texas. Feb. 4.-Mexico
today has another president. The new
chief executive is General Francisco
Villa. who yesterday proclaimed him
self MeXico's president and the mill
tary chief, His break with the con
vention president several months ago
precipitated the latest general revolu-
tion. in which there are several par
ties participating.
Villa today telegraphed a report of
his activities against General Car
rama to the Associated Press. He said
he had captured more than three thou
sand prisoners, three trains and other
equipment near San Luis Potosi.
Just what Villas next move will be
is unknown here. Reports of his plans
are conflicting. and until he issues a
further statement nothing of def
mite nature will be known of his cam
paign. There has been feeling for
some time that Villa sought the presi-
dency. Now that he is president, even
by his own decree, speculation as to
developments in Mexico is general.

bloodshed yesterday when a crowd Of
200 strikers from the Tent colony had

further trouble.
The strikers, who have been out

union funds. They come from the
colony to the midlls yesterday and
paraded around them several times.
