(. briclyard.
 Gillam's death is believed to have been instantaneous. 4 bullet from a pistol fired by Eogel struck him in the center of the forehead, penetrating the brain. Fogcl was struck in the right side by a bullet from GillamS pistol
 Constable Clint Green was called to the scene, and mado a quick rip in his auto. He arrested FogeI, whom he sent tn the hospital, and notified the coroner Of he klling. The two pistols, and 3 third, which Constable Green believes is the property of Mary Gillian, were found at the scene of the shooting by the constable, and are now in his possession.
 According 10 the information ob, tained by Constable Green, Gillian and his wife, Mary Gjliam, had scpa rated. Yesterday cvonin6, FoSel ana the Gillam woman left a house to- gethcr. Gillian, with another negro whose identity has not yet been estab- lished. headed them off, and it ap- pears Gillian and Fogel began shoot ing at the same time. Each fired one shot only, Gillam falling dead and Fogel falling because of his wound in the right side.
 The peculiarly of all cheap pistols was demonstrated plainly in the shooting affray Each of the three pistols was 9 "siX shooter,' and every one of the eighteen cartridges had been snapped, yet only two of the eighteen had exploded Fogel's pistol is 3S calibro owls head, Gillam's s is a 3S calibre Safety Police" and the weapon which is believed to be Mary Gilliam's property is a 32 cali bre Young America"
 Fogels pistol was found about ten feet from the dead mans head, and only after Constable Green had been forced 10 make strong threats of what would happen if the pistol was not given up by the crowd of negroes congregated at the scene. The small est pistol was found among some leaves, about 40 feet distant.
 A former husband of Mary Gillian is said to have been killed under somewhat the same circumstances a year or more ago, at Fucker by a ne- gro known in that locality as "Arkan- sas Red," and who has never been captured by the officers, according to Constable Green.

Exercise Your Will.

In the Woman's Home Companion a writer says: "Let us keep it in mind each day that weak will is the sign of inferiority; it means that we belong to the lower classes, to the weak and in- ferior; and then remember that if we remain weak and inferior, it is not be- cause we must, but entirely because we prefer to; and remember that we can become one of the intelligent ruling class if we choose. Let us set ourselves certain tests of will, and remember to let them be tests, not tasks. Let us throw away if we can, all somber ideas of duty and all ideas of our weakness being sinful. Perhaps it might be ac- counted so by those of strongly re- ligious trend but let us remember that our task, our whole splendid and joy Ous task in this instance, is to learn to exercise and use our powers. It is Emerson who says: What you are speaks so loudly, cannot hear what you say.'"

JURY ACQUITS NEGRO
 WHO IMPORTED BOOZE
Citizens Who Tried Wes McC!elland Doubt That Law Prohibits lm-
 DOrtatiOn for Personal Use.

Wes McClelland, negro. the first person to be arrested here for viola ton of the new "bone dry" law by bringing whiskey into the state, was acquitted by jury in Justice of the Peace c. c. BreWster's court yester- day. The jury was composed of C. ". Pettigrew, o. E. Mckenzie, B. E. Maxey, Cliff Reeves, Nathan Jenkins, l.. w. Reed and c. c. Boyer.
 McClelland testified he was return ing from Mississippi, had to lay over in Monroe, where he purchased six quarts of whiskey and one quart oi apricot brandy. which he intended fol personal consumption. He was ar rested by Constable Clint Green, he said.
 Attorney T. Havis Nixon contende] the law did not prohibit an individual from bringing intoxicants into the state for personal use and declared that district judges differ as to whether the law makes the offense with which McClelland was charged Q crime.
 The result of the verdict has been to cause peace officials here to ques- ton whether they should make further arrests until the supreme court has determined the question.
 Marking "Medicine" Meets Law
 In connection with the acquittal :. f McClelland, the ruling of Municipal Judge Gerlach at Argenta Thursday is of interest here. In dSchargine Ed Bell, who was arrested while talk ing 12 quarts of whiskey, labeled "Fol Medicinal Purposes" from the express office, Judge Gerlach ruled that trans porting or receiving packages of liquor marked "For Medicinal Pur- poses" is not contrary to the "bone dry" Law

l.ongfeIIoW's Inspiration.

Hawthorne told LongfellCw the story of Evangeline, adding that he had been urged to write a romance based on it, but thought it better suited for verse. The story of Hiawatha, related to Schoolcraft by Abraham Le Fort, an Onondaga chieftain, furnished the poet with the outline of his einhellished verse. The "Tales of a Wayside Inn" were suggested by an old colonial hos telry at Sudbury, Mass, which still is in existence.

ATLANTAFAILS TO
KEEP GER MANS
TEN ESCAPE FROM FEDERAL
PRISON AND NONE HAVE BEEN .
ARRESTED

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 26.-Again Ar,
mold Henkle, escaped German prison
en- has made good his boast that no
internment camp or prison barracks
was strong enough to hold him, and
in making it good he carried with him
nine other prisoners from the barbed
wire stockade near Fort Mcpherson.
Notwithstanding the minute search
which has been made of Atlanta and
vicinity, and the complete description
of the ten German prisoners flashed
broadcast throughout the country on
the wires, not a trace of them has yet
been found by the government secret
service or the police or the county
authorities, all of whom are Joining
in the man hunt.
1t is believed by L. J. Bailey, secret
service chief in this division, that the
Germans are hiding in Atlanta, or
perhaps even walking the streets at
tired in citizens clothes. He does
not believe they could have gone very
far away from this city without at
tracing attention.
Arnold Henkle, believed 10 have
been the leader in tunneling out of
the prison camp, was captured on the
western front and sent to British
prison camp. He escaped and made
his way to Norfolk, Va, where he was
captured and interned. Again he es-
capped and got as far as Danville, Va.
where he was captured again and sent
to Fort Oglethorpe near Chattanoo-
ga. There he made two attempts to
escape. and once was shot in the arm
by a guard.

RAILROADS ARE vi
e. /. GIVING SER VICE;
FIFTEEN PER GENT MORE .BUsI.
y MESS DONE, WITH THE SAME
tsla1o EQUIPMENT ,522Jall

Washington, D. c., Oct. q. Fairfax
Harrison chairman of the Railroads
War Board, authorizes the following :;
The railroads of the country report
that on OctdbdrIAfst the excess of I'M
dlld orders from shippers for freight
cars over and above the idle cars at
different points numbered 7O,3SO. This
is the figure which has been common
ly but inaccurately referred to as car
shortage. This compares with the
excess of untitled car requisitons
amounting TO 1852 on July list, 49,
776 on August list, 34,6O5 on Septem.
Der LIST.
The actual number of untitled or
ders on October LIST was almost iden-
tical with the number on October list
last year, the figures being 94,572 for
October 1st, 1917, and 94,S54 for Sep
TENDER 80, 1916. The difference in
the excess of untitled orders over idle
cars for the two years is accounted
for by the fact that on September 80
1916, as many as 34,157 cars were
idle, whereas, on October 1, 1917, on
ly 24,192 were reported as idle, thus
idicating a more efficient use of the
available equipment on the part OF
the railroads.
Returns to the Railroads War
Board show that the actual number
of cars and locomotives now in ser
vice on American railroads is only
slightly in excess of the number at
this time last year.
The War Board on October 10th
had been in existence exactly six
months and the returns at hand show
that during that period the railroads
Of the country have renered up
wards of Is per cent more service
than they did during the same period
last year with practically the same
plant. The outstanding feature of
the present situation is the degree to
which the railroads are cooperating
Fundamentally with one another and
with the Railroads War Board in the
effort to produce maximum of trans
portation efficiency. AS the demands
upon the railroads incident to the
war are apt to increase, the need for
the utmost cooperation on the part
OF all concerned will become increas-
ingly greater.
