hotels and restaurants by voluntary
pledge is announced by DR.. A. MSoule
federal food administrator for Geor-

Practically all establishments where

remaining few to whom it has not
vet been presented will have signed
within the next few days.
1t has been suggested by the Food

DOORS
ALLIES SHOULD TELL RUSSIA
AND AUSTRIA WHAT FREE
DOM MEANS

LONDON, June S.---The Entente AL
lies have a great opportunity for a
combined diplomatic offensive with a
view to explaining to Russia and Ans
tria and Slavs what an allied victory
will mean to them in the opinion of
the Daily Express.
The newspaper calls upon the allies
to translate the vague references to
self determination into concrete terms
and let their announcement appear
above the signature of the United
States as well as European allies.
Concluding it says: Russia is out
of the war but remains in the front
rank of people who abhor Prussian
tyranny with all their souls. A pa
tient people grown familiar with injus-
tice. the Russians are capable of more
than stolid passive resistance. They
are fearing up now again in blind re-
volt which is already worrying their
German cOnquerors.

DRIVE

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, June S.-Reports Of recent
heavy German train movements from
the direction of Metz toward the Mi
hill salient has aroused discussion
in the American expeditionary forces
as to whether the enemy is planning
an assault in the Woevre.
From a tactical point of view the
ueighborhood of St. Mihiel with its
sharp salient offers the logical place
for the German attacks. The drive
through st. Mihiel to the southeast,
It is considered might have the triple
object of the menacing of Barbecue
and the out thanking of Verdun from
the rear and the elimination of the
salient which has it's aper at Verdun

haps permanently the Allies have
stopped the enemy at the Marine. Ma
ny engagements of a tactical nature
may be expected.
Another place likely to see more
fighting is the, sector around Mont
didier where the Americans recently
captured Castigny. Another important
point at which Americans are sta
toned is in the territory around Cha
teau Thierry.
1t may be considered certain that
whatever the. future holds, the Ameri-
cans will participate in some hard
fighting.

PEACH INDUSTRY MAKES f..'
BETTER RECORD THIS YEAR

Atlanta June S.-The most astound-
ing record in tile history of the Geor-
gia peach industry has been made this
season, according to figures given out
today by the Georgia Fruit Exchange.
Up to June 5th there had been shipp
ed total Of 1,145 cars which is by far
the heaviest shipment ever made
since the industry was established
The year 1912 was the next largest
for the early varities, and in that year
up to June "a, the total shipments of
early varities was only Alt cars. This
means that the 1918 movement of ear
ly varities has increased 275 per cent
over the highest previous year on re-
cord.
This condition has brought ire
nendcus hardship on the growers
and has resulted in a great quanti-
ty Of fruit going to waste. No grow
er could possibly get adequate help
To handle the crop. This lack of ex-
perienced men accounts largely for
The poor condition in which many of
the shipments have reached their final
destination

PLACE SHOT

y coroner's jury of which H. C.
Dickson was foreman this afternoon
returned verdict charging murder
against Charles Townsell, alias Wiley
F. Turner, a white man coming from
Gainesville, Ga, Ito this county, as a
consequence of the finding of the
dead body of C. A. Scott, a negro who
drove an automobile for hire in Cor
dele.
Scott was killed about ten O'Clock
yesterday morning close to the Bow
en- place four and half miles north
west of Cordele, supposedly after he
had taken Turner from Cordele back
TO the farm of G. B. Gillion on the
Bowen place.
the investigation conducted by Cor
oner Fitzgerald, Mr.. Gfllion stated
that he heard some one call out after
a gun had been fired. Then another
shot was fired. Later Turner, who
had been working with Mr.. Gillion on
the farm about two weeks, came to the
house without the shot gun which he
had borrowed from Mr.. Gillion. This
aroused suspicion and Mr.. Gillion ii
nally late in the afternoon when Turn
er had again left the house, went to
investigate.
He and his wife found the automo-
bile but no trace of the driver. He
came to town and Sheriff John Ward
and Chief of Police Lee Sheppard
went back with him and made a thor.
ough search, but on account of dark
ness, failed to find anything They
resolved on the arrest of Turner, how,
ever and came back to Cordele to
look for him. Within very short

emily lodging the officers.
Chief Sheppard and Patrol Officer
Dorman carried him Immediately to
Jail and early this morning with Sher,
iff Ward the officers resumed the
search for the dead body of Scott.
During the early hours large crowd
of negroes had gathered where the au-
tomobile was found and with Mr. Gil
lion they started search. Soon they
found SCOTS body dragged more than
200 yards into the swamp from c1e car
Investigation revealed that Scott had
been shot twice, once apparently with
load of small shot and once with
larger.
SCOTS watch and other belongings
which have been partially identified
as his, were found in Turner's posses
sion. The prisoner is considered a
bad man Mr.. Gillion was especially
careful the past three days with him.
1t is supposed that he set cut to rob
Scott and then killed him. He denied
any knowledge of the crime with
which he is charged.
The killing has excited considerable
feeling among both whites and blacks
since Scott was a harmless, steady
negro who made his own living, &C
