'Sandersville (Ga.) Progress, 7th.
The work of boring for oil in the
Beach Field in this county, which had
been temporarily suspended on ac-
count of inability of manufacturers
to supply castings, will be resumed as
DON as shipment arrives from Texas
and Louisiana, where Mr.. A. j. Ross
has bought $4,000 worth of casing.
It is now rolling in this direction and
as soon as it arrives the boring will
start and continue until that pool Of
oil which we have been reading about
is reached, and it is hoped that a
tremendous gusher will be the result,
just as has happened in other fields
where the prospects were not as good
as here. If the expectations of the
promoters of this enterprise are real
lied there will be a grand rush of
people here from all directions and
Tennille and Sandersville will soon
outstrip Macon and Augusta in pop
ulation and run Savannah and Allan
ia close second for first place in the
number of people. Business will be
on such boom that merchants will
be unable to supply the demands of
ustomers, and values which now seem
! high will look like thirty cents in
comparison. A telephone message,
Just received from Mr.. Beach in the
Flatiron building in Atlanta states
that the work will be pushed as
rapidly as possible, and all who are in
u, terested are watching the develop
ments with eager anxiety.
Capt. M. M. Buford represents this
company in Newberry.

REPORT THAT OIL HAS
BEEN FOUND NEAR METER
IN GAMBLER COUNTY

It is stated that Georgia bids fair
to become the oil producing state OF
the union. The Texas fields, While
still productive, yet they must some
time cease to flow, and then the ques-
ton will be where the supply of oil
will come from. Oil experts Of long
experience, believe that Georgia is
the most likely field for development.
The Middle Georgia Oil and Gas
company are drilling well near San
dersville at the present time. Now
comes the report from Meter, Ga,
that oil has been found IN Gambler
county. The report is that land has

piled. "You know" The witness, like
his cousin, testified that, both girls
seemed to be in the best of spirits on
the return trip home. Both John and
Kenneth Gossett testified that there
was no switch key to the machine and
they both swore that they did not
see the dress of the prosecutriX torn
] and her hat crushed in the back, as
alleged.
John Gossett testified that he saw
accounts in the paper Of the alleged
assault, knowing it was in the section
where they had taken the girls, and
hearing the name Of his girl compan-
ion mentioned in a barber shop as
one of the victims, he thought it was
time for him to get away, particular
/ ly as he had done nothing for which
| to lose his life. He had heard that
there were mobs securing the coun-
tryside for the alleged criminals and
that he was afraid of being lynched.
The night after the alleged crime,
March Is, he drove'to Abbeville with
man who wanted to catch the Sea-
board train and tried to get a room
in the local hotel, but failed.
George Page, chief Of police Of
Honea Path, A. w. Stepp of Honea
Path, and Herman Moore of AbDe-
Vile, witnesses for the defense, tes-
tilted that they knew the Ford auto
mobile driven by the Gossett boys on
March ID and that it had no switch
key. 1t had to be choked down to be
stopped and had to be cranked to
start. Chief of Police Page, who was
at Anderson when the Gossetts were
identified, testified that he did not
hear the statement alleged to have
been made by Kenneth there about
staying in the woods until midnight,
although he was present at the inter-
view. Mr.. Stepp said he was with
John Gossett when he made trip to
Abbeville on the night Of March Is,
when the youth tried to get him a
room in the local hotel.
Saw Girls Leave.
E. F. Arnold, automobile dealer OF
Abbeville, saw the two girls get out
of the Gossett car when it reached
the school house here and, according
to his testimony, he did not notice
anything unusual in their demeanor,
nor their personal appearance. He
heard one of the boys tell the girls
good bye and heard one Of them re-
ply in kind.
After the father and mother Of
Kenneth had verified his age the de-
fense rested at 5:25 o'clock and a
request for the acquittal Of John
| Gossett was made. Judge Sease di-
rected the verdict at 5:45 o'clock,
when the arguments were begun, the
State being allowed two hours and
the defense two hours. There WHY
be three speeches on both sides.

the State failed to shake his testi-

John Gossett, the next witness fol

ROPER MAY Direct
M'ADOO CAMPAIGN
President, In Letter to Internal
Revenue Commissioner, Ere
urets" His Resignation.

President Wilson, In letter 10
Daniel C. Roper. accepting the lat
ter's resignation as Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue, yesterday express
"a great regret over Mr.. Roper's de-
eision 20 leave the Government serv-
ice. but adds. ~ know something or
the personal reasons which influence
YOU to tender your resignation, ana 1
see no other course than 10 accept IT,
to take effect, as you request. at the
close OF business upon March d.
1920"
This apparently Innocent phrase re-
awakened in Washington the thought
that inasmuch as IL Is generally be-
Iieved Mr.. Roper will manage the
Presidential campaign or William o..
McAdoo, former Secretary OF the
Treasury, the President had gone
ahead and given him not only permits
sion, but God speed as well.
The assumption was deprecated In
White House circles, however. where
II was said the President evidently was
referring to something else. 1t was
also declared, in other circles, that
AIR. Roper's desire to leave the Cow
eminent service was based on the
high cost OF living and the Inability
Of a Federal salary to cope with the
present times.
There have been persistent reports
for some time. though. that Mr.. Roper
would interest himself In Mr.. Nc
Adoo's campaign. His political sa-
gacity and genius for organization
would make him an able campaign
manager. it is contended. and that at
present is the only adjunct wanted
by the persons interested In Mr.. Nc
Adoo's candidacy. The President, II
is reckoned, should he have reached
a decision on the subject OF third
term would hardly put 1t forth in the
yelled language he uses In his corr
munication to Mr.. Roper.
