/ es are too big for Logan to take.
However, when Logan accepted the

leges, It virtually agreed to give the
proper protection to the students who
should assemble in these institutions.
If the whole state we're wet It would
still be the duty OF the College towns
to remain dry. Most College towns
throughout the country recognize this
obligation. Cambridge, the home of
Harvard University is virtually a part
OF Boston, only a river separates
them. Boston has saloons galore;
Cambridge has been dry for more
than quarter Of a century, and It is
famous as College town. When Lo-
gan had saloons, nearly half a hun.
dred cases of disorderly conduct
among Agricultural College students
had to be handled annually. The
year after the saloons we're closed
the number fell to about FIVE, and this
year we had trouble only when the
student body went on an excursion
to Salt Lake City, which has saloons.
BY rebuking effectively the clamor
for whiskey Logan will show The

s,bility 1t carries for the welfare of
the hundreds of young people who
are sent here by anxious, self satrific-
ing fathers and mothers.

1t took the jury trying the case
Of the state VS.. Gus Reed, charged
with robbing the cash drawer at
Winstead & Jones' store, at
Latham, just an hour to reach q
verdict OF not gully.
This case created as much
interest and drew larger crowds,
perhaps, as any heard at the
present term OF circuit court. All
parties concerned are popular
citizens Of the Latham country.
Winstead & Jones own the biggest
country store to be found any
where in this section, and do an
extensive business. They are
both popular, energetic young
gentlemen and capable business
men. Gus Reed, too, is a popular
citizen of that community. 1t

prosecutors in this case, that Reed,
while in their store making a
number Of purchases, took the
sum of SIS from their cash drawer.
Reed was arrested and tried be-
fore a magistrate, being hound

Friends of all parties packed the
courthouse here Monday and

of rain all Wednesday morning
prevented many from coming in
to hear the argument, which was
concluded about II o'clock and

FOR THE NORTH AND
SOUTH HIGHWAY.

Gentlemen appointed last week
to solicit help for building the north
and south highway from Dukedom
to Greenfield through Latham and
Dresden, report splendid success
and considerable enthusiasm.
Especially are the citizens north
OF Dresden interested, because
that road needs some attention
more than the district commission
er can give with the fund and
labor at his Command. Greenfield
lis thoroughly alive to the situation
and will, as usual, be found doing
her part in this great enterprise.
Mr.. Garrett, with several young
men, Rolandus Lewis, Willis
Fields and Albert Sandefer, begun
Tuesday afternoon measuring and
stalking the road north from Dres-
den. Mr.. Eastman, the govern
ment civil engineer whose services
Mr.. Garrett has procured for an
other two weeks, arrived Wednes-
day night from Carroll county,
where he has been engaged, and is
now making a survey of the north
and south route. All his time
will be required to complete the
survey, but it is hoped it will be
possible for Mr.. Eastman to assist
in building a section or two Of
model road, provided citizens are
sufficiently interested to procure
the extra help, teams, etc.
1t must be borne in mind by all
that the time for doing this work
is right at hand, dates being
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
Aug. Is, 26 and 81. Thus it be-
hooves us all to keep stirring to
get things in shape for the general
working days. The committees
appointed last week, and whose
names were printed in the Enter
prise, are all urged to keep at
work securing donations Of money,
hands, teams, etc. There is a
vast amount of work to be done in
the way Of preparations. 1t can't
be done by just a few in the short
time given. Therefore, all who
in better roads must
put shoulder to the wheel and
give a hard, long pull. The
Enterprise is no more interested
in these highways than any citizen
should be, but, having a desire to
see a great improvement in our
road system, this paper will do
what it can to further the building

galoot does say something about

benefit Of automobile owners.

Leo M. Frank from the state

shots were fired.

only in prison trousers and shirt

at $50 o'clock this morning. II
was believed the lynching occurred
at about daylight.
While officers were searching
the country about Milledgeville
early today, local officials viewed
as significant the fact that several
automobiles, well loaded, had left
this town in the direction OF
Milledgeville last night. After the
return Of some of these machines
today officers started out on the
road which they believed the au.
tomoblles had travelled. They
had gone only two miles when
they saw the body Of Frank not
more than $50 yards from the
roadside.
News that the body had been
found spread rapidly in the town
and surrounding country. With
in a short time hundreds OF persons
crowded the Roosevelt road on the
trip to view the body.
Franks body was cut down at
1915 o'clock this morning, but
not until another spectacular phase
had been added to the case. One
of the crowd spoke to the mob
advocating mutilation Of the body.
Newton A. Morris spoke inn
mediatelY after Howell and pleaded
with the throng to allow an in
quest to take its proper course.
AS there was an evident differ
ence of opinion, a vote was sug-
gested and taken. 1t was over
whelmingly in favor of allowing
the coroner to take charge OF the
body. 1t was cut down and the
two-mile trip to Marietta started.
Later, at the suggestion Of
Newton A. Morris, former superior
court Judge here, the body was

M|STRIAL IN THE
H|LLIS-SCATES CASE

| hbb6GuS WIFI ~ SuhWB
! There never has been a harder
fought case before the criminal
court Of this county than that Of
the state VS.. the negro, Lester
Scates, charged with holding up
.Seib Hills and compelling him to
write a check for $4,000. The al.
legged hold.up occurred some six
weeks ago on the Hills farm, near
lGreenfeld, and Scates was indict.
ed at the present term, the indict-
ment against him being the long.
est Of record in this county.
Scates was ably represented by
Attorneys Selden Maiden and 7.
K. Reynolds and had the backing
Eof some OF Green6eld's most we'll
known citizens. He denied that
he forced Mr.. Hills to write the
check for $4,000, but that the
same was given him voluntarily
by Hills not to tell certain things
on him. The negro made splen-
did witness for himself, except in
that part relative to the time OF
the purchase Of the marriage Ii
cense.
The state was represented by
Attorney-G General Tom Morris and
Senator R. A. Elkins. Mr.. Hills
was the chief prosecuting witness.
He made a poor witness for HIM
self on direct examination, but on
cross examination he proved a
better witness for the state than
on direct examination, He showed
that while on his farm he was &C.
,costed by Scates, who was armed
with a shot gun and forced to
write three checks. the first two
not being Of large enough amounts.
But Scates claimed on the witness
stand that the check was given
to him voluntarily by Mr.. Hills
as hush money.
AS stated above, this was the
hardest fought case tried here in a
number Of years. Counsel on
both sides endeavored to lay bare
the full facts. An exceptionally
intelligent jury had been empan-
eled to try the case. numbering
some OF the best men Of the coun.
ty, as will be seen from the follow
ing names, which compose the

FLORIDA's GOVERNOR
AT THE MARION FAIR

Park Trammell, governor of Flor
ida, arrived on the evening train yes
terday, coming from Crescent City,
where Mrs. Tranmell is visiting her
father. The governor came specially
to help Marion county people open
their fair.
The governor might have had a
spreadeagle reception with brass
band if he had let the town know he
was coming but he preferred to come
in like an ordinary citizen. He step
ped off the Coast Line train, said
howdy do to the acquaintance he met
on the platform, and walked off to the
Harrington with Bob Adams like any
travelling man.
One of the good things about Park
TrammelI is his dislike of formality,
fuse and feathers. He goes around
and mixes with the people, and has a
greeting full of hearty goodwill for
all. He has made Florida good
governor; few men have filled the Of
fee as well, and fewer still have filled
it better.
Ocala is always glad to see him,
and its only regret on this occasion is
that he did not bring Mrs. Trammell
with him.
