SENDS BOY BACK To
HIS MOTHER AFTER
COURT ENDS CASE

-ELLAVILLE, Ga, April 12.-In
Schley Superior court Tuesday several
cases on the criminal docket were TAX
en- up and disposed of, most of these
being business originated by the grand
jury of the term. The case of Bob
Trice, a negro charged with the murder
of Alex Trice several months ago, went
to trial Tuesday afternoon.
In the late fall of 1915, it will be
remembered that two young white men
were arrested near Ellaville, charged
with having forged an endorsement to
a check on the Bank of Ellaville, Sc
curing something over 5000 thereby.
Both were arrested shortly afterwards
a few hundred yards from Ellaville anG
placed in Jail The two young men, one
whose home is in Worth county, being
named Wilson, and the other, a youth
named Locke, were placed on triat
] Lesday, and each entered plea of
guilty.
Judge Littlejohn imposed a fine OF
500 in each case, and Wilson, who had
elatiyes present in the courtroom, paid
his fine and was released. Locke, whose
home is in Florida, was without rela-
tives or friends at his trial, as we'll as
funds. A movement was started, how
ever, to raise an amount sufficient to
pay Locke's fine. Both of the yourg
men are mere youths, and it was urged

NOTE ON VESSELS

BERLIN. April (Wireless) THE
German reply to the American note
concerning the damaging or sinking OF
five steamers sent to Washington to-
day contains the statement that the
steamers Englishman, Eagle Point,

were all destroyed by German subma-

to show their destruction was legal as
provided in international law.
The note further states a German
submarine did torpedo steamer in the
vicinity where the Sussex was damaged
at about the hour the liner was dam
eyed by an explosion, but the evidence
at hand indicates the vessel torpedoed
was not the Sussex.

WASHINGTON, d. D., April 12.-The

strategy, declared Rear Admiral Brad

before the convention of the Navy
League of the United States here to-
day. Admiral Fiske deplored the lack
of logical development of the navy and
asserted the British and German ma

ed-out plans, folio Sed methodically.

All Americas has reason to feel

Too much praise cannot be given the
instructor and the accomplished stu
dents of the High school.
The students carry on the work at
their own expense and the board Of
education has not provided single
cent for the department. The young la
dies bought a sewing machine, and ii
is believed that their work will merit
due recognition when the matter is
brought to the attention of the board.

OF the message, which was given out
for publication by Mr.. Bartlett, the
latter stating that he was authorized to
say that Senator Smith would unquali.

Mr.. Bartlett stated that he was in
Washington on March 25th, and was in
Senator Smiths Office when he was in
formed of the action of the California
democrats in endorsing him for presi-
dent and filing with the secretary of
state of California the names of dele

Smith acted promptly in repudiating
the action.

Cleanup Day is a very important
day. We should use it in the right
way because it is given to us by the
county for cleaning our yards. We
should always keep our yards clean,
so they should not have to appoint a
special day. A clean yard is admired
by the pople.
There are other reasons why we
should keep our yards clean. Germs
get in cans and make their nests and
hatch many small germs. Sometimes
there is water in the can, and mosqui-
toes pick this kind of place to make
their nests.
If person passes a yard with cans
scattered over it, he thinks the per-
son that livs there is lazy. If the
yard is clean he thinks prosperous
person lives there. Would you rather
have him think you are lazy or pros
porous?
The county is very kind to send
wagons to haul the trash away. We
should appreciate their kind work very
much. We should show our appre-
citation by cleaning our yards good.

The response was made by R. l..
Ward in his usual inimitable style.
He carried us back to the days when
this old trail was new, when barking
in the woods on either side could be
heard the growl Of the bear and the
howl of wolves and panthers. He
contrasted this with what we see bor-
dering the old trail now and pointed
to the greater improvements we might
expect with the passing of the years.
He paid glowing tribute to the work
being done by the Daughters of the
American Revolution and closed with
note of thankfulness that the flag
of no king fioated above us.
Our national hymn was beautifully
rendered by the High School Chorus
under the able leadership Of Mrs. st.
Clair and then the Grammar school
children sprung a surprise on us when
at the signal from Miss Davault they
broke into the martial strains of
Dixie" which was, of course, greeted
with loud applause.
