CLERK OF SUPERIOR
court is INDICTED
CHARGED IRREGuLARITY IN RE-
CORDlNG MORTGAGE PAPERS
MADE AGAINST WILCOX COUN-
TY MAN.

Abbeville, March 27.-The grand jul
ry of Wilcox county, now in session,
has found a true bill against W. j.
Hancock, clerk of the superior court,
charging him with falsifying his rec
ords. The charge against him is that
he changed the records in a certain
mortgage that Paxsoh Bros. had
against E. p. Hopson covering the IT,
tie Of an automobile. Hopson bought
the car from Paxson, Paxson retain
ing title. Afterwards Hopson gave
his mother bill of sale to the car and
this bill of sale was put ON record a
day ahead of Parsons mortgage show
ing that Hopson recorded his bill Of
sale before the sale was actually
made. After this, Hopson's business
was put in hands of a receiver and
when the case came up it was proven
that the records were inaccurate. All
this was brought out during litiga'
ton over the automobile.
After the grand jury had fully inves-
tigated the transaction they found a
true bill against Mr.. Hancock. 1t is
not believed that lie will be tried at this
term of court.
The case has caused a sensation
here. Mr.. Hancock is one of the Oldest
offers holders of the county, and was
reelected last fall by one of the big
gest votes he ever polled, defeating
Joe A. Dennard of Pine View, who is
very popular himself. Mr.. Hancock
was raised in this county and mum
bers his friends by the hundreds.

LITTLE NEGRO HAS
HEAD SHOT OFF
TWO 7 YEAR OLD BOYS QUARREL
AND ONE FIRES ON THE OTHER
WITH SHOT GUN-INcREDiBLE
STATEMENTS ARE MADE ABOUT
THE AFFAIR.

A quarrel between, two negro boys,
both about z years of. age, on the By,
rom farm at Daphne Saturday after
noon, ended in one of them shooting
the other to death with a shot gun.
The load tore the young negro's head
from his body, leaving it hanging by a
mere fragment.
1t is reported that the boys parents
were at work on the farm and that
they, with a number of other young
negroes, were left at home. According
to statements of older negroes to Mr..
A. H. Simmons, manager of the farm,
the boy after being shot, ran from the
house into the yard, a distance of
thirty to forty feet. These state
ments are not considered credible,
however, as the boys death must have
been instantaneous. and there were
no steps on the side Of the house
where he is said to have run into the
yard.
Sheriff Ward had not made an ar
rest up to noon Wednesday. The affair
will be investigated.

CLOSE METHODIST REVIVAL;
NUMBER OF ACCESSlONS
BY Mrs. Mary e. Taylor.

Sabbath forenoon the pulpit was .oc-
cupied by DR.. Charles Lane, when the
most fervent appeal of the number of
forcible, eloquent sermons delivered by
him during the two weeks revival
services at the First Methodist
church, was listened to by an audi
ence swayed betimes by humorous il
Illustrations, again brought to tears as
the speaker dwelt upon the serious
ness of his subject.
On this occasion, DR.. Lane based his
remarks upon the text Judgment will
| also lay to the line, and righteous
ness to the plumet; and the hail shall
sweep away the refuse of lies, and
the water shall overflow the hiding
place." An awed solemnity pervaded
the immense audience, as the speaker
forcibly portrayed the worlds false
standard of true worth; the pharisa-
ical claims of the moralist to saliva
ton in lieu of the one thing needful,-
the regenerate heart-the final judg-
ment, when as represented in the
text, Judgment will be laid to the
line"
The evening hour was devoted to
the reception and baptism of a num-
Der of applicants for church member
ship. A beautiful touching scene was
presented, when this group encircled
the chancel, and took upon themselves
the solemn vows of the church, imme-
diately surrounded by their parents.
The remarks of the pastor, Rev. An
thony to these lambs" of his flock,
were expressive of loving tenderness,
of affectionate admonition to the
parents. There have been between
twenty and twenty-five accessions to
the church as the result of this revi-
val. During the Conference year, be-
ginning December 1916, there have
been forty-two names enrolled on the
church register.
Cordele is the recipient of addition
al blessings through the benign influ-
ences of this gracious revival season.

of him shall much be required"

After the game was over, back up
town came the soldiers again and the
parade was witnessed by the largest
crowd of the year. Thousands of peo-
pie filled several blocks and the SOL
der boys were again the attraction.
"Rubbering" was the order of the
afternoon on the part of the crowds.
People were here from every direc-
ton. The col, snappy cler after
noon put fine spirit into everything
and the appearance of the soldiers was
a signal for a patriotic manifestation
rarely reaching such a high pitch.
The last section of the soldier trains
reached Cordele at dusk and the boys
on this train, of course, did not get
into the ball game, but they "hit'' it up

derailment.

CHARGE OF FORGERY
SAID TO HAVE ATTEMPTED TO
PASS BOGUS CHECK FOR $500 ON
AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK
WITH NAME OF F. J. PERRY
SIGNED TO 1T.

Having made confession of the
crime. Jake Traylor who has been
employed for several months on the
farm of w. G. Burge, is confined in the
Crisp county Jail, charged with for
gerry.
Traylor, it is stated, attempted to
pass bogus check for $500 at the
American National Bank Monday af-
ternoon. He is said to have forged
the name of F. j. Perry, well known
farmer of the 14th district to the check
and made G. l.. Larson, a fictitious
name, as payee. When he presented
the check he told Assistant Cashier
E. A. Vinson, who suspected and be-
gan to question him, that he had sold
Mr.. Perry a pair of mules. The sigma
ture of Mr.. Perry was cleverly imi-
tated, though upon examination both
Mr.. Vinson and Cashier j. w. Cannon
of the bank readily detected that it
was wrong.
Traylor was taken in charge by Mr.
Cannon, carried to the county Jail,
and placed in custody of Sheriff Ward,
who Immediately lodged him in cell.
At the bank when closely questioned
the man appeared quite nervous,
though consented to go with Mr.. Can
non to see the sheriff.
Tuesday morning he confessed to
Sheriff Ward, according to the officer,
that he had perpetrated the forgery,
though stated that he was drunk, and
but for that condition he would not
have committed the crime. He also
admitted to the sheriff that his name
was Jake Traylor and not C. l.. Lar
son. Messrs. Vinson and Cannon
state that at the time the forgery was
attempted Traylor did not appear to
be drinking in the least.
1t is learned that Traylor came to
Crisp county from Blounston, Fla,
about the first of this year, since which
time he has been doing farm work for
w G. Burge. He has a wife and a
two weeks old child According to
his statement he went to Florida from
Dothan, Ala.
