The severe winter points TO late

Mines Ask For Cars
Mines on the Menominee range have
not the obstacle of the ST. Mary's riv-

goes out OF the straits earlier than Il
does out OF the river
For that reason there is already a
stir In local mining circles in expect

this weather keeps up next week will
see the mines loading their pocket ore
into cars.
The local mines are getting all the
labor they need II the supply keeps

On Ellaville Street

ELLAVILLE, Nov. so. - Annie
Lou Edwards Peoples, one of the
most prominent negroes of El!aville,
was brutally murdered Sunday night
by her husband, Booker Peoples.

by Peoples, who had a shot gun,
claiming that he expected to go hunt
ing this morning. Without any warn
ing whatever, at close. range he
emptied the contents of the gun into
the woman's head, severing the
jugular vein, and almost shooting
one side of her head off, death re-
sulting instantly.
The couple had separated last
summer and Peoples had made re-
peated efforts to make his wife come
back and live with him. When he
shot he ran. He successfully eluded
the officers and blood hounds all
nSght, and Monday morning went
to the home of J. H. Statham to hire
his car. Mr.. Statham recognized
him as the murderer, compelled him
to get in the car. and drove immed-
lately to the county jail where he
was incarcerated for safe keeping
to await his trial on the charge of
murder.

NEW YORK, November 3O.-De-
nial that he had ever taken
money for influencing the
disposition of contracts or ma
chinery by the United States 5
ping Board. as charged by T. K
Sand, former Washington banker,
coupled with request that all his
business transactions with Sands be
investigated, both for my own and
my family's sake" was made before
the Walsh congressional committee
today by r. W. Boiling, brother-in-
law of President Wilson. and nov.
treasurer of the Shipping Board
Sands has already testified that he
received $4,000 from the Downey
Shupbuilding corporation for rep
resenting" it before the board, out
of which he paid money to Boiling.
Boiling testified that he contract
ed in 1916 to build house for Sands,
but had foregone any profits on the
transaction because of objections by
Sands to charges for extras. He
explained the details which involved
the discounting of Sands note for
$4,000. Later Sands promised to
pay $4,000 more on the house, which
represented Bolling's profit, and this
later was paid in small amounts. He
said that the $40 900 which Sands
said he paid for procuring contracts,
he had never heard anything of it
until it was mentioned in anonymous
letters, coupled with threats thai
less something was done to stop the
proceedins of the Department of JUS
tice against Sands ''my name will be
brought into it." Boiling said
the committee would find an anon
ymous letter to McAdoo and other
records in connection with the af-
fair.
Boiling in reply to questions testi-
fed that in January, 1917, he bor-
rowed $500 from Sands and later
repaid this amount by mortgaging
his home.
He constantly referred to a note
book before answering questions.
Alonzo Tweeldale, comptroller of the
board, sat beside him and frequent
lv conferred with him during the
time Boiling was testifying.

LONDON WAREHOUSE BOMB
LAID TO SINN FEIN.

LONDON, Nov. 30.-Public build

the larger cities of England were
closely guarded against apprehended
Sim Fein attacks by heavy detach-
ments of police and detectives last
night. In Nthis city armed motor
boats also moved up and down the
Thames in front of the parliament

There was nothing to connect Sinn
Fein with the explosion of bomb in
a warehouse in Old Swan Lane here
early today, but the people of the city
ascribe it to that organization. The
explosion was heard over a wide area
and blew out windows of buildings
nearby.
Several men suspected of setting
fire to the warehouses in Liverpool

ABBEVILLE EXPECTED
MRS. CUTS ARREST

ABBEVILLE, Nov. 80. - The
arrest of Mrs. Annie E. Cults, wife
of Eldridge H. Cults, and a former
resident of this city. will cause Abb
beville to play an important part in

have watched the many developments
in the case. Mr.. and Mrs. J. A.

Mrs. Cults in Abbeville, are slated
to be star witnesses in the trial. Mrs.
Alice Player, who resided with the
Cults in Abbevilles will also be a
witness. Also, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. ].
Peterson, tenants on the Cults farm.
Mrs. Cults moved from Abbeville
to Fitzgerald about three weeks ago.
Her husband, who is a prominent
lawyer in Ben Hill county, has re-
sided in Fitzgerald FOR several years,
while Mrs. Cuts made her nome in
Abbeville. She has two sisters, Mrs.
Eugene McRae and Mrs. F. s. Reid,
and one brother, T. C. Mitchell, re-
siding in Abbeville. Before her mar
riage, which occurred "a years ago,
she was Miss Annie Mitchell, a mem
ber of one of the most prominent
families in this county, and was con-
sidered quite beauty.
