 The work in this county is only preliminary, Dr. Wright said. It is expected, however, that systematic work will be taken up later, when
 the people thoroughly understand the object of the work.
 John L. Phillips, demonstrator for Faulkner county, said that the peo- pie generally are in favor of con-

 number of vats in this county will
 be increased from seven at present
 to about 30 during the summer. Dr. Cow stated he would be glad
 to answer any questions that may be

BIG CARP DRGWNs A

NEGRO FOUND IN RIVER
WITH LINE AROUND LEG

News reached Abbeville today
OF the drowning of an old negro
by the name of Wilcox, near Mos
sy Log landing on the Ocmulgee
river several miles below this
place. The old man, who was
about 80 years old, went carp
hshlng and as he had not return
ed the next morning his family
went to the place where he us
ually fshed and saw the pole
sticking out of the water across
the river. Getting a boat they
went to the pole and upon pulling
1t up found the old man with the
line wrapped around his legs. Up
on trying to pull the line out of
the water it was founG to be hung
IN an old tree top which finally
gave way and they brought up a
carp which weighed 40 pounds.
The supposition is that the fish
pulled the old man in the river
and he became entangled in the
line and was droWned.-Abbeville

Sheriff David Ricketson return
ed to Douglas Friday morning
from New York city with his pris-
oner, Thomas r. Cox, who was
placed in jail to await a commit
ment hearing which will be held
in the next few days. The sher-
1T left New York early Wednes-
day morning and arrived over the
A. B. & A., at 7 o'clock Friday
morning.
When the sheriff landed in New
York city on last Saturday, he
had the address of Cox, who was
going under the name of 90. X.
Brown" and in four hours after
ne had reached the city, he had
Cox under arrest md in the
Tombs, where he remained until
Wednesday morning.
1t is likely that Cox will have a
commitment hearing in about two
weeks. He denies the charge and
says that he did not get one cent
OF the money. He made a state
Iment to the sheriff in which he
says that he has been made goat
Iof and that there are others in
VOlved in the transaction. all of
which will come out at the proper
time. He claims to know all about
the shortage, how it happened,
and that he can prove where the
money went, who got it, and how
1t was gotten out of the bank, 1t
IS expected that there will be a big
sensation when Cox gives his tes-
tlmony. He told the sheriff the
whole story from beginning to
end, but of course it will be held
in confidence until later on.
Cox was in correspondence
with several people in this and
other counties in this section
since his departure for New York.
He was in close touch with the
happenings relative to the banks
closing its doors, and other moves
made by interested parties.
Sheriff Ricketson will claim the
reward of $500 Immediately, and
he justly deserves it.

VICTOR INNEs FOUND
GUILTY; IS SENTENCED
HIS LAWYERS TO CARRY
CASE TO HIGHER COURT

Atlanta, June 5.-Victor E.
lnnes may serve seven years in
the penltentiary for larceny af-
ter trust of the money of Mrs.
kloise helms Dennis, for which
he was tried last week and found
guilty by jury in the Futon
superior court, but it will not be
until the highest courts in the
state have affirmed the Judgment
OF the court that tried him.
When lnnes, brought back
with his wife on extradition pa
lpers from San Antonio, Tex.
went before Judge Ben H. Hill
OF Fulton superior court and vir-
tually put it up to" the state OF
Georgia to give him fair trial,
declaring that his life had been
threatened and that he had no.
money to employ a lawyer, Judge
Hill appointed three of the, ablest
lawyers in the state to defend him
and these lawyers are going to
make as hard fight for their client
as if they were being paid rich
mans fee.
Defended by Judge John S.
Gambler, former justice of the
supreme court of Georgia, Judge
James K. Hines, special attorney
to the Georgia railroad commiss-
ion, and c. L. Pettigrew, one of
the leading lawyers of the Allan
ia bar, lines and his wife are as
well represented as any defend
ants that ever went to trial in
Fulton county.
These attorneys will this week
file with Judge Hill motion for
a new trial for Innes, and if the
motion is denied they will file
general bill of exceptions and APP
peal the case to the state court of
appeals. Should they fail to Sc
cure new trial before that tribu-
nal, it is probable that they will
go to the state supreme court.
1t will be claimed by Innes' at
torneys that Judge Hill erred in
his charge to the jury, that he err
ed in several rulings on the adj
INSTABILITY of evidence, that the
evidence did not justify verdict
of guilty, and that lines is en-
titled to another trial on various
other grounds.
The attorneys representing
lnnes sprung a complete surprise
when they admitted that lines
obtained a large sum of money
from Mrs. Eloise helms Dennis.
1t had been generally expected
previous to the trial that they
would claim that lines never saw
Mrs. Dennis after securing her
divorce in Carson City, New, in
1912.
Instead of this denials they
frankly admitted that Innes re-
ceived money from the young wo-
man, but they claimed that she
gave it to him because she was
wildly in love with him and want
ed him to have it.

entire German high sea fleet, in

back to port. The Germans, he
said, sprang no surprises. Only
one Zeppelin was seen and that
was driven off. No 17-inch guns
were in evidence.

the main forces on both sides
took part in the attack. German
