MAYOR jim WOODWARD
IS URGED FOR GOVERNOR
REPORTS FROM ATLANTA SAY
HE HAD GUUBERNATORIAL
BEE IN HIS BONNET.

ATLANTA.-A new bee was report
ed buzzing in Mayor Woodward po-
litical bonnet Friday. Its hum is that
there is a straight road for him to
the mansion of the governor of Geor-
gia, and, according to several men
who are in close touch with him, ne
likes the tune mighty well.
These friends of Mr.. Woodward
have been specializing for some days
on the opportunities of a campaign
by him against Gov. Nat Harris and
DR.. L. G. Hardman the two announc-
ed candidates. They figure that I'm
Gle jim" could make a mighty appeal
ing campaign in the rural districts
as we'll as in the cities, and they are
urging him to run.
Mayor Woodward was noncommit-
tai Friday.
"The trouble with running for gov
ernor is that they want to make pro-
hibition or anti-prohibition the issue
and not what the state needs-a GUS
mess administration" he said.

COURT SUSTAINS
TICK FIGHT LAW
State Veterinarian Highly Pleased by
Ruling of the Supreme Court
Holding the Act Valid.

Officials of the state veterinarian S
office were pleased Monday by news
that the state supreme court had up
held the validity of the tick eradica-
ton law by which counties are au-
thorized to spend money in aiding the
state to exterminate the cattle tick.
The decision means that opponents
of the measure will have to quash
other suits that are pending, it hav-
ing been desired to prevent counties,
through their ordinaries or commits
sioners from spending any money in
aid of the fight to eradicate the tick
in Georgia.
DR.. Peter F. Bahnsen state veteri-
marian, declared this decision would
establish the legality of the statute
heretofore enacted by the general as
sembly. Cattle raising is becoming
such an important and profitable in
dustry in Georgia, he said, that the
fight against the tick is of great ne
cessity for the insect causes heavy
loss by it's inroads on healthy and
otherwise thriving herds.

TREE THAT BECOMES ANGRY
WHENEVER 1T is TOUCHED
Kind of Acacia in Nevada That Re-
sents Interference.

Kind of Acacia in Nevada That Re-
sents Interference.
Did you know that a tree can get
angry?
There is a kind of acacia in Neva-
da that not only is "touchy" but, as
the gardener put it, "goes very mad. y
1t is about eight feet high, and is
a very rapid grower. When the sun
sets it is ready to go to sleep, and
shuts it's leaves together, and coils
up the ends of it's twigs just like a
pigtail.
If any one pulls that tail-well,
the tree doesn't squeak, but it f1ut-
tiers and moves uneasily, and seems
to be deeply agitated.
If it is ever disturbed by shock,
such as transplanting, the leaves
stand out in all directions and culver
violently. Strangest of all, they send
out a pungent, nauseating odor that
is most unpleasant.
1t takes this badtempered tree an
hour or two to get back into good
humor.

HAD REACHED THE

Two Aged New York Men Die b

He died of starvation in tAe midst
not only of wealth in curreney BIT
of food in plenty. His stock 81 food
stuffs surrounded him while he

A search of the room by the police
disclosed the fact that the old man
had enough food stored in tlfe room
in which he slept to have kept him
alive for weeks. There were nnmef
Gus cans of olive oil, sardinps ana
spices, all a part of mis- STOCK Which

BAN PLACED ON
FOREIGN LOTTERIES
POSTAL DEPARTMENT FIND 1T
DIFFICULT TO COPE WITH
MANY NEW PHASES.

NGTON.-Increase in the
number of government lotteries
abroad as the war drags itself out is
forcing United States postal authori-
ties to be especially watchful to pre-
vent their advertisement in this coun-
try. The lotteries are given publicity
in the United States in two ways, it
was said at the postoffice department
today. Individual letters are written
to American citizens in an effort to
induce them to purchase tickets and
news stories are circulated of fabu-
lous sums won.
Letters soliciting clients if they fall
into the hands of the department new
er reach their destinations. Some get
through the department if on the out
side they do not present a suspicious
appearance. All the suspected letters
are diverted and opened.
With news stories the department
does not find it so easy to deal. The
solicitors office of the department
holds that any news stories advertis-
ing a lottery must be barred from
the mails. Under the departments
ruling this means any story giving
publicity to a lottery. 1t does not
have to be a paid advertisement.
Many news stories of European
lotteries have been printed recently,
the department says, which approach
closely near a violation of the law.
A story that mentions the name of a
winner or winners of lottery is held
to be distinct violation. A story,
too, that might be expected to at
tract such attention to lottery that
readers would investigate is held to
be a violation.
Most of the lotteries being carried
on in Europe now are for wa bene-
fits. Hospitals, the wounded SOL
diers' dependents and other war vic
tins are aided.

VENUE CHANGE LIKELY
IN NOTED CHANCE CASE
OF SOME OF A. ID.
DIVERS ACCUSED SLAYERS
MAY CAUSE THIS.

According to report it is not i'm
probable that change of venue will
be necessary in the trial of G. w.
Chance, Claude Chance, Minter Ken
nedy and the negro, Ike Carter who
are charged with the murder of A,
D. Oliver the 'shOestring'' financier
at Leesburg, in February. 1915.
Judge Littlejohn has issued his order
calling for a special term of the Lee
superior court to convene on next
Monday, January 81, for the trial OF
the four men.
White Men to BE First.
1t is known that one of the three
white men will be placed on trial
first, and not the negro. Which Of
the three white men to have their
case called first is only known to the
prosecution, which is being conduct
ed by Solicitor General J. R. Will
liams, Frank Hooper of Atlanta, and
J. B. Hoyl of Leesburg, solicitor OF
the city court. The defendants will
be represented by Yeomans & Wiki
inson of Dawson and Attorney For
roster of Leesburg.
Lee county has one of the smallest
populations of any county in the
state, and the jury box has fewer
names than the average county. The
case involves three prominent white
men, highly connected in Lee county
and Smithville, where they reside
Judge Littlejohn drew a special We
nire of about one hundred names
and it is expected that a large per
cent will be disqualified.

In PRISONERS HUNG ON
oNE LIMB IN STARKSVILLE

and the five negroes were tied to it
= row. AS the bodies swung clear
= ground there was round after
ro1 shots, the five literally being
riddle n lead. The clear moon
light ma easy to take good and
sure aim.
1t is suppos ID the sixth negro-the
jail decoy-was turned loose on the
road in the upper part of Worth
county, where he could get back to
the Doles neigborhood afoot without
attracting suspicion. This negro, it
is believed, was picked up around
Doles by members OF the mob on
their way to Sylvester in order to
have some one who could positively
point out the suspects wanted.
Jim Keith, the negro who it is
claimed actually killed Sheriff More
land, was saved from the mob, as
Sheriff Potts had removed him STONE
time ago to the Colquitt county Jail
at Moultrie for safe keeping when he
received word a mob was headed for
Sylvester to get Keith.
The Iynching at Starksville was not
the first one of the kind in that viii
lage formerly the county seat of Lee.
In 1899 three negroes were hanged
to a single limb there and the bodies
riddled with bullets.
There have been no arrests made
in connection with the lynching, and
whatever steps Worth or Lee county
may take to apprehend the lynchers
are not known.
Sheriff Potts Statement.
Sheriff Potts has given out the fol-
lowing statement telling just how the
prisoners were reached:
"The three men, apparently hold
ing a negro prisoner, came to the
gate in front of the Jail about or
$50 o'clock. They were afoot, and
1 saw no auto. They said their car
had broken down about two or three
miles out and that they had pris-
oner they wanted to put in jail for
safe-keeping.
II was standing on the front porch
and told them to carry the prisoner
around to the rear of the Jail yard
and l would let them in. I went to
the back door from the outside and
as soon as l got in reach they caught

TWO HUNDRED
INCONSISTENCIES UP
Many Sturdy Georgia MOuntaineers
Gather as Prisoners at District
Federal Court.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Nearly 200 stur-
dy North Georgia mountaineers, all
under arrest, but most of them free
under bond or their own recogni-
zace, are gathered as prisoers at the
federal court today to aswer to the
charge of makig mooshie liquor.
Although they are under criminal
Indictment and many of them will
probably spend part of the winter in
jail or the federal prison they are not
criminal types. They look more like
jurors than prisoners.
Most of them never violated law
in any way except, perhaps, to make
moonshine whiskey and their faces
are not bad.

SHOES WILL BE HIGHER
IN PRICE, NOT IN SHAPE
Which Fact Is a Good Deal Worse
For Fathers PocketbOOk.

For FatnefS PockeCDOOk.
Yes, Gladys, shoes are going to be
still higher this winter. Women's
shoes? How higher, when some of
them already lace half way to the
knee? No, not higher in shape, but
higher in price, which is a good deal
worse for father.
Merchants say that the Russians
are wearing out so many million
pairs of American boots in their re-
treatski, and that there are so many
war orders to fill for the belligerents,
that everything that goes in shoes has
increased except feet.
The leather costs more, and the
Innings cost more, and the pegs cost
more, and even the beeswax cost more
than it did.
Alas for the day when $3.50 was a
big price to pay for a fine pair If
shoes.
