SYLVESTER PEOPLE
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Misses Westbery, Ford and Fore
hand Painfully Injured

Miss Meryl Westberry's jaw
bone was broken, one front tooth
was knocked out and she received
a cash over the eye; Miss Lallle
Ford's wrist was broken, Miss lr-
ma Gregory was injured in the
side, and Messrs. Edgar Fore
hand and ]. B. Carroll were both
Slightly injured when a Dodge
car in which they were going to
Blue Springs overturned yester-
day afternoon. All the injured
are from Sylvester.
Mr.. Carroll was driving the
car and had passed another car
on the road when the front axle
worked loose, or something got
wrong with it. The driver was
unable to control the car and it
ran into the ditch, struck stump
and hit telephone pole, which it
broke in two. The car turned
upside down and the five occu-
pants we're caught beneath it.
There was considerable passing
on the road and assistance was
given at once. The young ladies
were rushed to the Phoebe Put
ney hospital for treatment at
once.
The car is said to have been
going only about twenty miles an
hour, the accident being attribut-
ed to the defective front axle,
which is said to have caused sew
eral previous spills.
The accident occurred about
half way between Albany and the
springs.

JAMES CONTEMPT
CASE IS APPEALED
Goes to Supreme Court on Bill
OF Exceptions from Early

Colquitt, Ga, May 1.-The
contempt case wherein d. W.
James; of Blakely, was adjudged
IN contempt by Judge w. D.
Worrlll, was Saturday taken to
the superior court on a fast bill
OF exceptions by the attorney for
Mr.. James, Billie B. Bush, who
has been representing him for
some time.
Judge Worrill signed the bill
OF exceptions while sitting at the
Miller superior court here.
James contends that he was en-
titled to a jury trial on the ques-
ton OF contempt and that he had
fully purged himself when he de-
livered to the receiver of the
Bank of Blakely all of the Helen
Lumber Company notes that he
had and made showing for the
proceeds of the balance.
The fast bill of exceptions will
be heard by the supreme court, so
Attorney Bush states on the 18th
day of May.
Mr.. James, it seems, made every
effort to stay out of bankruptcy
proceedings until it was newt
able. Mr.. Bush secured at one
time an order from Judge Worrill
'revoklng the receivership for the
Bank OF Blakely by giving bond
to pay the debt of the bank, and
1t was thought that the affairs of
Mr.. James had been satisfactorily
arranged, but the bondsmen be-
came dissatisfied and this threw
the bank back into the hands of
receiver.
The receiver now appointed for
Mr.. James was made on the part
OF Mr.. James through his attor-
ney, who on account of engage
ments in Miller superior court, in
assisting the state in the case of
X. +. Fudge, charged with muir
der, got Moss. Smith, Hammond
%Smlth, OF Atlanta, to present the
petition to Judge Newman.
Mr.. Bush will attend United
States court in Columbus this
week to look after the receiver
ship case and adjudication of Mr..
James.
1t is stated that Mr.. Bush will
likely institute habeas corpus pro-
ceedings before Judge Newman
and endeavor to have Mr.. James
released from Jail. In the mean
time the contempt case will still
be before the Supreme Court of .
Georgia.

Reliability

NUR absolute faith il the Max
well car is due to two reasons:
First, we have known that
the Maxwell Company uses nothing
IN the entire car but the very best
that money can buy. We have
known that the steel is scientifically
heat treated, that the car is built
under the supervision of able engi-
neers, that every car is rigidly tested
many times before it leaves the
factory.
Second, we have known that the
big and well established company
behind the car is building for the
future, that they value satisfied
owner above everything else.
Now that The Maxwell has set the
Worlds Motor Nonstop Mileage
Record, by travelling continuously
Tor A days and nights averaging
500 miles per day-you will under
stand the benefits you personally
may derive from the Maxwell policy.
Did you ever hear Of any car going
$4,000 miles without once stopping
the engine, without any repairs or
establishments, with only one g=-,1on
OF gasoline to every % miles?
There is no reason why vi
shouldn't have a reliable, servi &
able and economical Maxwell car.
Inc tlrst cost is low, the operating
cost is low and our pay-as-you-ride
plan makes the purchase easy for
everyone.
l It us see you about this now,
before: our allotment is exhausted.

IN MEMORY
4 y X X x x x K x J

On Monday, April 3, 1916, God
saw fit in His infinite wisdom to
take from us our beloved one,
Mrs. II. d. Taylor. Her death
was not unexpected for she had
been in bad health for quite a
while, but God saw fit to relieve
her of her suffering. All that low
ing friends and relatives and kind
physician could do was of no
avail. She leaves four children,
two sons and two daughters and
several grandchildren to mourn
her death.
How we miss thee from our
home, dear grandmother;
A shadow over our life is cast.
We miss the sunshine of thy
face.
We miss thy kind and willing
hand,
Thy kind and earnest care.
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.
Through all pain at times she'd
smile,
A smile of heavenly birth
And when the angels called her
home
She smiled farewell to earth.
Heaven retaineth now our
treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps,
And the sunbeams love to lin
Where our sanity grandmother
sleeps.
Precious darling, she has left us,
Left us, yes, forever more,
But we hope to meet our loved
one
On that bright and happy
shore.
lonely the house and sad the
hours
Since our dear one has gone;
But, Oh, brighter home than
ours
In heaven is now her own.
Dearest grandmother, thou hast
left us,
And our loss we deeply feel,
But tbs God that has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day of life is fled
When in heaven in JOY to greet
thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.
Farewell, dear grandmother, but
not forever;
There will be a glorious dawn,
We shall meet to part no never,
On that resurrection morn.
Though thy darling form lies
sleeping
In the cold and silent tomb,
Thou shalt have glorious wax.

BOB DUNN'S POLITICS.

Frank B. Kellogg is no shirker. He
always does his part-a mans part. For
weeks he has been conducting vigorous
speaking campaign for the republican
ticket, State and National, and he has ap-
pointments booked for every day until the
eve of election. No man who votes for
Frank B. Kellogg for Unites States sena-
tor will ever have cause to regret it. He
will represent the State and Nation in a
manner that will make every Minnesotan
proud of him.
The Union knows Of no good reason why
anyone who processes to be republican
should fail to vote for Hughes. The pub
lie and private record of the republican
candidate is simply unassailable, then why
should anyone who believes in the prin-
ciples of the republican party vote against
him?
A contemplate fight is being waged
against julius A. Schmahl, the republi-
can candidate for secretary of state, but
the only result will be an increased ma
ioritv for julius. There is no more effi-
Gent and obliging official in the state CAPT
tol than Secretary Schmahl.

both of them are republicans. Personally

his long experience on the district bench,
better qualified to discharge the inpor-
tant duties of associate justice of the
