OFFICERS RETURN
With GUY MARSHALL
YOUNG MAN ALLEGES IN STATE.
MENT THAT HE KILLED DAN
EATON IN SELF DEFENSE.

Sheriff Turner and Mr.. 0. l.. Nc
Neil returned to Dawson Friday
morning with Guy Marshall, whose
arrest in Rockford, H., and subse-
quent confession to having killed
Dan Eaton in the southern part of
the county about a month ago, were
told in the last issue of The News.
The youthful prisoner alleges that
he killed Eaton in self-defense.
Statements he has made are to the
effect that he went to Eaton's home
to buy a nickePs worth of tobacco,
and shot to protect himself after the
latter had brought up a discussion
of former differences and attempted
to shoot him. He did not leave until
several days after Eaton was killed,
and since his arrest it has developed
that he told two or three parties that
he did it.
The Illinois sheriff told the Ter
rell county officers that suspicion of
Marshall was first aroused by his
failure to give a satisfactory account
of himself when questioned by an Of
fcer who was looking up army slack
ers. He had employment in a livery
stable, and a few days later his en-
ployer intercepted a letter mailed at
Dawson and addressed to him, which
said: Everything is all right; don't
talk" This led to the telegram re-
ceived here, Sheriff Turner's reply,
and the arrest and confession.
The grand jury returned an in
dictment Monday against Marshall
charging him with murder.

LITTLE GIRL SELLS NEARLY
5000 WORTH OF WAR STAMPS
Malinda Harris Wins a $40 Prize.
Bank of PARROT Makes Fine Record.


Malinda Harris, the little daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. C. M. Harris, of
Herod, has won a prize of $40 in
gold offered by Hon. D. C. Pickett
to the pupil of the Herod school
who sold the most war savings
stamps. She made the splendid rec
ord of selling $3.50 worth. Other lit
tie Herod girls who sold stamps were
Caula Altman, Nettie Belle Smith,
Bessie Thomas and Essie Cowart, and
while falling a little short of the
prize did splendid work and made
fine records.
The Bank of Parrot, of which Mr.
S. J. Carter is the cashier, has by far
the best record of any institution or
individual in the county for the sale
of these stamps having disposed of
more than $1,000 of them to it's
friends and customers. This is near
ly half of the total amount of sales
in the county up to April 30th.

Charges Against AaTs~iek
When Senator Hardwiok came 70
Georgia, prepared to enter upon a
campaign of abuse and villihcation OF
President Wilson and the Democratic
administration, beginning at Carroll
ton and extending from county TO
county throughout vhe state, stopped
him with the direct challenge to
meet me face to face, and presented
him with twelve specific charges, at
lacking his record. These charges
have been printed broadcast for three
weeks. Had he possessed one re-
naming trait of political character
he would have met me and denied
the charges, or retired from the race.
In fact, he turned both head and tail
and left the state with only one
speech and now announces that his
duties are so pressing he cannot re-
turn to Georgia until congress sd-
iourns. This means, in my judgment,
that he is absolutely eliminated from
the race and will never return to dis
cuss his record before q Georgia au-
dienoe.

COWAN LOSES HIS
SUIT in CHANCERY
Presiding Judge C. T. Mccall Rule.
ManIey Heirs Entitled TO The
Valuable Estate.

The case pending in t.ie Cha1.eely
Court here, involving the large and
valuable estate of which F. L. Man
ley died, seized and possessed was de-
cided last Friday, when G. I. Mccall
presided as chancellor in the absence
of Chancellor Ross.
The suit was brought by John s.
Cowan, through his attorneys, Lyt-
ton Taylor and J. M. Coleman, of
Murray, KY, and w. w. Farabough,
of Memphis, Tenn, against the half
brothers and sister of Mr.. Manlsy.
The contention of the complainant,
John S. Cowan, was that he was enti-
tied to the entire real estate of Mr..
Manley, on the ground that he claim
ed contract was made when he was
small, whereby he was to be raised
by Mr.. and Mrs. Manley, and was to
be given the estate of both at their
death. The defendants, who were
the half brothers and sister of Mr..
Manley, through their attorneys,
ILIuuSn anu MOItOiiy lilSu dil altoWCi
to the cross bill, insisting that the
complainant was not entitled to said
property, but that the same descend
ed to them on the death Of the said
Manley, as his next of kin and heirs
at law.
The case has been pending in the
Chancery Court for some time, and
was a case of considerable interest
from the standpoint of the amount
involved, and the questions Of law
raised in the case. The defendants
were successful in the case, and the
trial resulted in the bill of the COM
plainant, John S. Cowan, being dis
missed at his cost, and decree hold
ing that the defendants were the own
ers by inheritance of the land which
Mr.. Manley owned when he died.
