CHAS. u. ROGERS FATHER
DIES AT TOWNSVILLE

Mr.. and Mrs. Chas- u. Rogers,
manager of the Windsor hotel, re-
turned Saturday morning from Thorn
asville, where they were called by
the death Thursday morning of Mr..
Rogers father. The following from
Thursdays Thomasville Times-En-
terprise tells of Mr.. Rogers demise:
"Mr L B. Rogers died this morn
ing at eight minutes after five
o'clock at his residence, corner Wash
ington and Crawford streets.
"He had been in i'll health for four
years, and had been confined to his
bed for several weeks. He bore his
long and painful illness with patience
and cheerfulness and calmly looked
death in the face without fear.
Long ago he made profession
of his faith in Christ and has for
many years been a faithful member
of the First Baptist church. His re-
I ligion, which had sustained him in the
trials of life, stood the test of incur
able disease, and the rapidly ap-
preaching end, in wonderful way,
characteristic of the true believer.
"Mr. Rogers was born in Brooks
county, Ca, August IS, 1858. He
married Miss Annie Candy, daugh-
ter of the late Charles Candy, De-
cember 1, 1881.
"He is survived by his wife and
two sons, Mr.. H. L. Rogers, of this
city, and Mr.. Charles U. Rogers of
Americas, Ga; one sister, Mrs. B. L.
Baker, of Dothan, Ala, and two
brothers, Mr.. J. j. Rogers, of Bar
ney, Ga, and Mr.. Milton Rogers, of
Pavo, Ga"

SONS BRIDE IS
WON BY FATHER,
SUITS REVEAL

PHILADELPHIA, July 26.-Di-
vorce proceedings have been insti-
tuted in the courts of common pleas.
which contain charges Of the most
unusual nature. In one suit, brought
by William H, Engel, the hbellant'5
father is named as correspondent.
and in the second suit, brought by the
mother of Engel, Jr., the latter's wife
is named as correspondent.
The set of circumstances were dis
closed in the domestic relations court,
where Clara R. Engel, wife of the
younger Engel, petitioned Judge
Bartlett to make a support order in
her favor. After learning of the d.
vorce proceedings, Judge Bartlett sus-
pended the hearing before him until
the common pleas matter is disposed
of.
The younger couple were married
on September 5, 1918, at Newport
News, Va, where the husband was
in camp awaiting orders to go over
seas with the American Expeditionary
Forces, He went overseas on Sep
TENDER 80, and returned last March.
He charges that while he was over
seas his father and his wife were liv-
ing together. 1t is averred that Sep
TENDER 28, after Mrs. Engel, Jr., and
the father came to camp to bid him
goodbye, then went direct from
camp to Ocean City, N. j., where the
father registered the daughter-in-law
as his wife. After being discharged
from the service, Engel, Jr., returned
to his wife and lived with her until
June 2, when he learned of the sit
uation.

TRAIN OF UNUSED ARMY
TRUCKS PASSES THROUGH

A forerunner of what is to come
to Sumter county was seen Saturday
in a train of six government trucks
which passed through Americas OF
their way to Calhoun and Baker
counties, there to be turned over to
the county authorities as their allot-
ment of trucks for federal aid road
building. 1t was said .wo were to
go to Calhoun and four to Baker.
All of the trucks were unused, but
had been standing in the weather for
some time However, the tires we're
unworn and they appeared in per
feet condition. Two of them were
Quads, from Camp Wheeler, Macon,
and four were Standards, from Camp
Jesup, Atlanta. The train was IN
charge of Allen Niece, a civilian en-
ploye at Camp Gordon, assisted by
H. L. Singley, also civilian worker.
These men reported that they
spent all Of Friday near Anderson
vile, on the Dixie Highway, most of
it at the foot of the big hill, where
one of the Quad trucks slipped oil
the fill, almost disappearing in the
mud After chains had failed to
move the submerged truck, cable
was attached and. one of the big
Standards drew it into the road. and
the procession started up the hill.
The Sumter county commissioners
are expecting five trucks which it has
been understood were allotted to this
county by the state highway depart
ment, to arrive at any time. Some
time ago $500 was advanced to pay
freight on that many trucks. At the
same time Dolly county RENTED
800, the understanding being that
she was to get one truck, to be
shipped with Sumter's five.

DOUBLE ACTION ROW
OF WORKMEN is AIRED

A workmen's row was aired in the
court of Justice of the Peace Griffin
Saturday when A P. Dean, painter
and contractor, was given hearing
on a charge of perjury growing out
of charges made by him in two war
rants which he took against two
workmen employed by him and which
he failed to sustain. Justice Griffin
dismissed the charge of perjury
against Mr. Deane and all parties APP
peared ready to let matters rest
where they were
The trouble grew out of a job of
remodeling the front of the Cars
well Drug company's store. Mr..
Deane took the contract at $140, fur
nishing the material and employing
Joe Hare and D. w. Jackson to help
him. Owing to trouble Mr.. Deane
said, he was unable to complete the
job as quickly as planned, and it
was taken out of his hands and the
other men employed by the Cars
wells to finish the job. Alleging
that they were using some of his ma
terial Mr.. Deane promptly took out
warrants against the two, charging
simple larceny, which charges were
dismissed after a hearing. Immedi-
ately after their release, Mr.. Hare
and Mr.. Jackson took out war
rant for Mr.. Deane, charging perjury
for false swearing in taking out the
warrants against them.
After dismissal Mr.. Deane suggest
ed that it would be in order for him
to take warrants against the other
two for the same offense they charg-
ed to him, they having failed to sus-
tain their charges, but Justice Grit
fin advised that the trouble end and
Mr.. Deane said he was satisfied.
