FAMOUS CASES BROUGHT
BACK FOR THOUGHT NOW

ATLANTA, Ca, June 17.--Wbife
there is talk of famous cases in which
candidates for one office or another
have participated. friends of Judge w
Z Thomas, of valdosta, candidate f0E
congress in the eleventh district. are
recalling the fact that he prosecuted
tie members of the Rawlings family
for the murder some years ago Of the
Carter children In Lowndes county.
Judge Thomas was solicitor general
of his circuit at the time this most
outrageous murder was committed
and the trial lasted through several
weeks with the final result that CID
man Rawlings and a negro who as
sisted him were hanged, and the three
Rawlings were sent to the penitentiary
for life. They have since been pard-
oned. At the time this was one OF tls
most celebrated cases in the history
Of the state, and its details are stilE
recalled with interest.
According to reports received i'm
Atlanta, Judge Thomas has organized
his campaign and opened headquaF-
ters. He is now engaged in touring
the district, and expects to speak fn
the people in every county in il be-
fore the primary on September TX.
His Atlanta friends are closely watch
ing the progress of his campaign. He
is we'll known here because OF the
fact that he has frequently presided
over criminal trials in Fulton superior
court. He usually gave them the
maximum sentence and criminals
were careful not to let their cases 50
before him whenever they could help

IS FOUND
NEAR AMER|CUS

A young white female child was
found Saturday afternoon in Mucka-
lee creek, near the old bridge below
the concrete structure on the road be-
tween Americus and Smithville. The
remains were found by a negro, Le-
Roy Smith, who was fishing in the
creek. He promptly notified the au-
thorities of his discovery.
Coroner Ed Jenkins was apprised Of
the finding of the body, and Deputy
Sheriff Bob Price assembled a COR
oner's jury composed of Cranston VIII
liams, foreman; Claude Forrest, L. d.
Lockhart, w. L. Johnson, II. T. Castle
berry and T. B. Westbrook.
DR.. R. e. Cato testified concerning
tie remains, and the negro Smith
swore to the facts which he knew.

der a verdict or adjourn, taking re-
cess until Saturday morning, June
24th, at o'clock.

las Thompson, of Greensboro, N. c.;

the bereaved ones in their irreparable
loss.

lily and friends left on the two o'clock
train Saturday afternoon for Green's
boro, Mrs. Oakley's former home,
where the funeral and interment will

AMER|CUs BOYS PENETRATE
INTO THE JUNGLES OF FLINT

Led by the gallant Edward Mathis,
party of Americus youths, some of
them fresh from the confines of col
lege walls, leave for the wild and
woody around the Flint river jungles.
They leave Monday, declaration of
war having already been sent to the
leaders of the mosquitoes in their
stronghold. The Americus lads will
place their trenches at Fortune Far
mer's Bluff, in Darkest Flint, and woe
to the luckless wildcat who smokers
around the camp-for those boys can
surely run, and no nice wildcat wishes
to admit being outrun. Plenty of the
meat that made the hog famous" will
be taken along to guarantee all kinds
CT Indigestion and other delicacies of
vndertakers' particular delight will
be included in the list of agony pro-
ducers.
Those in the brigade are Prof. John
George Hoist, Robert Crittenden Lane,
George Earl Ansley, fresh from Tech;
Otis Carter, who safely stood the sand
srurs of Florida for some time; Willie
McNeill, another unsophisticated Tech
ite; James Edward Mathis, who leads
the band; Robert Hodges, who braved
the terrors of freshman the past
year at the University of Georgia, and
Algernon Hodges, youngster who at
tended the Aggie school at Americas
he is fully qualified.
The boys have arranged for big
fish fry Wednesday night, and several
Americus people have been invited to
come down and see how a nice case OF
indigestion is found.

CARRANZA HURLS A Def
AT FORCES OF PERSHlNG
Washington Does Not Propose to
Yield to Any Demands Coming
From General Carranza

mand of the border patrol about Ell
Paso, reports that General Pershing,
who is at the head of the punitive ex-
pedition with headquarters near Nami-
quipa, Mexico, has been warned by
General Trevino, the Carranza COM
mander at Chihuahua City, that any
movement by the American eXpedi-
tionary forces south, east or west, will
be the signal for an attack by Mexi-
can forces. General Funston in re-
porting the warning to the war de-
partment, informed Washington Off
cials that he is without direct word
from Gen. Pershing touching upon the
crisis brought about by the attitude of
the Carranza forces.
Officials here were inclined to credit
newspaper dispatches telling of the
alleged threat, before Gen. Funston's
message arrived. Gen. Pershing is
ready, however, to deal with any Mex
ican forces that may be sent against
him, in the opinion of administration
officials. He will probably hold the
present lines OF communication, but
pake no move that will precipitate hos
tilities, until further instructions are
forwarded from the war department
here.
General Funston also reported today
that Major Gray, who was in command
of the troops attacked by bandits at
San Ignacio, Tex, has returned from
an effort to follow the bandits trail
Two prisoners were taken during the
chase fthe outlaws and one body
was found, evidently that of one of
the fleeing Mexicans.

RUSSIANS STILL
CENTER OF LIGHT
IN THE WAR ZONE

The defeat of a Russian cavalry force
sourth of the river Dneister, in Cali
cia by the Austro-Hungarians and the
starting of general fighting along the
Volhynian front, is announced from
the Austro-Hungarian field headquar-
ters, according to a statement sent by
wireless from Berlin late Thursday.
Along the Verdun front in France,
the Germans attacked at Avacourt with
grenades during Friday night, says a
French official statement and also in
the Dead Mans Hill region.
There is an intense bombardment in
progress in the Vosges.
After violent artillery preparation,
French infantry on Saturday penetrat-
ed the first and second line trenches
and brought back a number of Ger
man prisoners at Hill 425, east of
Thanh
The British destroyer Eden was sunk
during Friday night, says an official
British statement, thirty three of the
crew being saved. Three officers of
tie Eden are still missing.
The Germans yesterday engaged the
Russians in the Stokhod and Styr Sec
tors, says the German war official
statement. Parts of the army under
General Bathmar are fighting the
Russians north of Przselmo.
Copenhagen says that a Swedish
fisherman reported that two large
German steamships were torpedoed
aud sunk in the Baltic sea last night.

Glazed in the hands of Governor Har-
ric and will not be published by him
until he submits it to the legislature,
it is known that the auditors severely
criticize the present method of appro-
priations and expenditures as being ex-
tremely wasteful and extravagant.
The state is practically without any
system of checks and balances and the
result is that hundreds and thousands
Of dollars are expended every year that
could be saved, says the auditors.
