FLORIDA PREACHER GETS 8
YEARS FOR WHITE SLAVERY

Pensacola, July 9-Facing judge
Sheppard in the federal court Tues
day afternoon on the charge of vio-
lating the Mann white slave act,
Rev. John Wiley Wilson, Baptist
minister of Randolph Pontotoc
county, Miss, admitted that all
contained in the indictment just re-
turned against him by the grand
jury was true. but pleaded as an eX-
tennating circumstance that love-
the Simon pure article of love-that
tender, passionate affection of one
for another-had temporarily over
balanced his good judgment. Three
years in Atlanta was the sentence.
Rev. Wilson was arrested several
months ago, after he had fed from
his home with Miss Odell Rogers, a

an interested listener to what trans

slightly below medium height, with
flashing black eyes and above the
average intelligence for a girl raised
in the country. She was occompan-

Wilson had been sentenced he was

minutes in one of the government
offices and then was taken, With

the county Jail where he will be held
until arrangements are made for the
marshal to convey the entire party
to the federal prison at Atlanta.
Quoted From Bible
The defense of Rev. Wilson was
one of the most unique heard in the
federal court room He quoted from
the Bible. reading passages to prove
his contention that the course OF
true love should not be interfered
with, and dwelt at length upon his
excellent moral record in Mississ-
ippi. One of his assertions was that
Peter, whom he referred to as one Of
the best characters spoken of In the
Bible. once defied the law. His case
was similar, he intimated.
The court suggested that he ap-
pearcd well posted on the Bible,
whereupon Rev. Wilson, apparently
pleased, replied that he had given it
much thought and study and was
familiar with every passage. Then"
said the court, take as your text,
Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultry,"
and confine yourself to this during
the remainder of your address"
The minister had nothing more to
say and sentence was passed.
Committed No Sin
Sitting in the prisoners dock
Rev. Wilson, when asked by a Jour-
nal representative If he desired to
make a statement, declared he had
nothing to say to any newspaper re-
porter for he declared, he had been
misrepresented and his statements
twisted until he appeared before the
public even as horse thief and ig-
norant of the laws of the land.

SUCCESS IN ALSACE
BERLIN COMEDIES THAT GERMANS HAVE BEEN
WORSTED IN MINOR BATTLES

Berlin, Jan. 4.-French success in
Alsace was admitted officially this af-
ternoon. The greatest activity is dis
played in the operations in Alsace,
mainly by artillery after terrific
bombardment of the heights west of
Sennheim, in which the allies oc-
cupied the Germans demolished

INTRODUCED TO THE OCEAN
Atlantic Tide Caught the Auto of Mr..
Logan of Citra and Asheville

The st. Augustine Record of Jan.
2 says:
Treating his family to their first
view of the ocean, w. E. Logan of
Asheville, N. c., introduced them in a
manner that will not be easily effaced
from their memory. They motored
over on Thursday to South Beach in
Mr.. Logan's auto at dead low tide.
The wide, smooth beach Iokeed very
inviting and the machine was driv-
en- to the very edge of the water. So
impressed were all with the vast ex-
panse of water that they gazed spell
bound at the tossing pillows. The
auto was halted and the occupants,
intent only on the view, did not note
the gradual encroachment of the tide.
When they became aware of the fact
that the water was creeping shore
wards they attempted, in slang par
lance, to beat it. but discovered
that the wheels were sinking In the
sand. All attempts to pull the car
out failed, and it had to be left till
the tide receded. Mr.. Logan has a
winter home at Citra. He and his
family were spending day in st.
Augustine, en- route from Citra to
Asheville to place the daughters
Grace and Irene in school for the win
ter. Mr.. Logan and family are leav-
ing today for Asheville by rail. The
party was composed of Mr.. and Mrs
w. E. Logan, Carl Logan, Misses
Grace and Irene Logan.

WILL SETTLE AT WEBSTER
Colony Of Belgians Coming to Sumter
County

Tampa, Jan. IA special to the
Tribune from Webster, Sumter coun-
ty, says:
One Of the biggest and most inn
portant realty deals ever put thru in
Sumter county had recently been
pulled off, when one of the largest
property owners IN the county sold
his holdings between Webster and
Center Hill for $4,000 cash, to a
wealthy Belgian. This man intends
colonizing the land with Belgian refu-
gees, and numbers of them are al
ready arriving. These people are ac-
customed to farm life, are hard work
ers, and will make their farms blos-
som like the Rose of Sharon All
details and particulars are not given
out by either party, but enough is
known to make sure that the plan is
being successfully carried out. This
man was attracted to Sumter county
by the fact that, while its lands are
among the most fertile and produc-
tive in Florida, yet, from lack of ad-
vertising, they are less well known
and therefore are cheaper in price
than poorer, though better advertised
| properties. One moral taught by the
big deal is that it is the other fellow
who profits, when our people fail to
advertise. There is no better invest
ment, after all, than printers ink.

London, Jan. A. There's not the
