TO STEAL CAPTURED BOOZE
Colored Restaurant Keeper Resents
Being Struck in Face, and Fires
on Officers-Makes Escape and
Has Not Been Apprehended.

Deputy-Sheriff B. B. Smith and
posse of men arrested three white
men and two negroes Saturday in
the vicinity of Wilkinsville. The
party had rs half pints of whiskey
in their possession, which they had
stored in the hollow of beech tree
some 80 feet from the ground.
The prisoners and captured whis-
key were brought here by Deputy

in Jail. While the prisoners were
being locked up Grundy Smith, col
orel restaurant keeper, on the north
side Of the square, made an attempt
to steal some OF the much-coveted

yer, when he saw what Smith was
attempting to do, ordered him away,
when the negro is said to have be-
come very insolent, whereupon the
sheriff struck him in the face, The
negro then went back to his place,
secured a pistol and threatened the
officers, according to the report.
When they went to his place of bus
mess to arrest him he opened fire
on them with IS Colts revolver

fire he jumped out Of the back win
dow and succeeded in making his
escape, and up to this time has not
been apprehended. A number of
shots were exchanged between the
negro ard Sheriff Beaver, Deputies
Smith and Archer, but none of the
officers were hit by the bullets. 1t
is not known whether or not the ne
gro was struck.
The names of the men jailed for
having the whiskey in their posses
sion were given as Rupert Blood
worth, H. Haunschilt and a boy
named Sidney Mason, aged about 10
all white, and all from Memphis
and three negroes, George and Henry
Fields and Steven Hayes, of this
county, These men were tried before

POSTMASTER SAYS SOME
MISUNDERSTAND STAMP PLAN

That some do not understand the
provisions of the redemption of war
savings stamp pledges, as set out in
the Leader last week, is the state
ment of Postmaster Green in the fol-
lowing communication:
"Editor Leader-The notice in the
last issue Of your paper caused some
people to misunderstood the plan in
regard to war savings stamps. They
seem to think that we wanted them
to redeem their war savings stamps
This was not the notice at all, and
was not intended to be so read. The
notice was for all persons whose
war savings redemption cards were
not redeemed during 1918, to redeem
them at once by buying war savings
stamps of the 1919 series. The gov
eminent has provided that this could
be done. and our notice was to that
effect. Upton county people pledged
for the full quota, but have not taken
up all their pledges. 1t is very i'm
portant that this be done at once.
All cards are now at the Covington
postoffice. Let's get busy and redeem
them"

DECIDE TO MAKE COTTON
CONVENTION PERMANENT

The greatest cotton convention ever
held in the south was held in New
Orleans, and adjourned Tuesday. Del
egates were present from every cot
ton-growing state in the union, with
the exception of Arizona. Memphis
will probably be the next place of
meeting. and it has been decided to
make the convention a permanent
organization. Each delegate goes
to his home to become missionary
in the field for safe and sane farm
ing. Each is pledged to work and to
carry on the work regardless Of
what may happen to the price of
cotton. The price may go up or
down. That will make no difference
in so far as the efforts of the COM
mittees for better farming are con-
cerned.

BRIGHTON HIGH WINS FROM
PARK FIELD AVIATORS

Basket ball fans gathered at the
Brighton court Tuesday to see the
game between the Park Field bas-
ket ball team and the team of the
Brighton high school. The game was
snappy from the first toss of the
ball to the final goal. The score
was so to 6 in Brighton's favor.
Park Field boys were good players,
but were outclassed by the Brighton
boys in pass work. The star play
was accredited to Forward Rose, who
threw goal while on his knees with
his guard over him. The Park Field
coach, Mr.. Logan. of Pennsylvania,
stated that was the second time he
had ever seen this feat performed.
Coach Hays is justly proud of his
bows.
