celled in every department of the
debate. They showed much SUI
perior preparation and their ad-
dresses were much more finished,
the Judges said.
Harold Gabby is a gifted speak
er who is. perfectly at home on the
stage. His speech was filled with
good argument and his rebuttal
altogether escaped the average.
Miss Edna Mullanix made fine
showing by her mastery argu-
ments and her clear and distinct
delivery. She also did well in re-
buttal. Lafon Wilson closed for
the negative. His rebuttal was
good. He showed readi-
ness tC answer the arguments of
the opposing side. His rebuttal
was really characteristic of a de
bate between much older heads.
The Judges gave a unanimous
decision to the negative. The
Judges were Prof James Watt

Berea College, and Rev. Frank N.

FOX HOUNDS SELL
HIGHER THAN MULES
Tennessee Sportsman Comes to
Madison and Buys Eight of
the Best Here

The biggest deal in Kentucky
fox hounds recorded in a long
time was consummated here
Thursday, when J. H. Smith, Jr.
of Fayetteville, Tenn, purchased
eight of the best from old Madi-
son county known the world over
as the home of the real fox hound.
The sale is reported to have rep
resented almost $1,000. Mr.. Smith
bought what he wanted at tt
price set on the dogs by their
owners, and he bought only the
best as he SAID he wanted to "buy
the kind that aren't usually Sold"
and the boys made him pay for
them to get them.
Perhaps the best known hound
oe secured was Arch. two-year-
old male dog owned by Maupin
Bros, of Richmond. Arch has
nationwide reputation among
fox hunters. Maupin Bros. also
sold him the crack young bitch,
Sissy. The price Mr.. Smith paid
tor this splendid pair of dogs was
not made public by either side,
but it is rumored to have been
right around $3.50.
Jake Hackett, of this city, also
sold the Tennessean crack pair
in Valve and Lot, both two-year-
olds. and it is said that Mr.. Hack
EFT received right around 500 for
them.
From James Kanatzar, of this
city, Mr.. Smith bought one dog,
at a big price. while from Woods
Walker, the dean of fox hunters
of the Paint Lick section. the
Southern sportsman purchased
three and it is reported on good
authority that he paid Mr.. Wal
ker a cool $1,000 for the three.
Mr.. Smith only spent a few
days here. He went out with the
boys several nights and saw their
prize dogs run. and then calmly
told them to name their figures,
and when they did, they sold the
dogs.

TRIES TO LAY MURDERS
ON NEGRO FARM B OSS
Georgia Farmer Declares His In
nocence Of Killing Il Labor
ers Held in Peonage

Covington, Ga, April 8.-Pres-
entation of evidence was complet-
ed and argument begun Thursday
in the trial of John S. Williams,
Jasper county plantation owner,
who is charged with the murder
of Lindsey Peterson, one of the
Il negro farm hands who are said
to have met death while held in
pconage on his place.
Williams, who took the stand
asserted his absolute innocence, "
was the sole witness for the de-
fense.
Manning, negro, farm boss fol
ia years on the. Williams place,
land self-confessed accomplice of
the planter, was pointed by Will
liams as the man having a prob
able motive for the killings.
Charles c. King, pleading for
Williams acquittal, told the jury
Manning, ignorant of the penalty
for peOnage, had become alarmed
over the investigation and that
the evidence indicated he was the
only person who had a motive for
the murders.
Mr.. King asserted the defense
Expected to rely upon Williams's
"alibi," which, he said, Villains
had established as far as posi-
.ble" by describing how he was at
home the night the three negroes
were killed in this county, and as
serted the state had offered no
legal corroboration Of the testi-
mony of a self-confessed accom-
plice, as required by law. Gra-
ham Wright, assistant attorney
general, pointed to various testi-
mony as confederation and said
the law left it to the jury to make
final decisions on that question.
He termed Manning as incap-
able of planning and carrying out
the crimes under eyes of Viii
Hams and his family, and named
Williams as the guilty man.
The defendant, accused by the
state of "Georgia's most atrociou,
MURDERS" was as cool as any OF
the spectators who packed the
court house almost to sufocation
to hear his story.
These were the first criminal
charges of any kind ever filed
against him, he declared, in his 81
years Of life, and he claimed,
proudly, that his four sons were
among the first to answer the
country's call in the world war.
He admitted he technically
might have been guilty of peon-
age, as he had worked negroes
who owed money to him.
These agents replied that the
negroes on the place were among
the best fed and clothed" they
had seen, he declared. If he, tech
nically, were guilty of peonage,
most Georgia farmers also.

Il am absolutely innocent" he
told the jury, in conclusion, as he
reverted to the murder charge.

Warheld Bennett, representing
the Madison and Home Ware
houses, asked the council to re-
duce the license tax of $3.50 on
each house. He pointed out that
each house has to pay eight sep
arate taxes, and that the license
tax against the warehouses i'll
proportion to that paid by other
businesses of the city was eXces-
sive and unreasonable. He said
that neither warehouse made any
money last year or this, and that
both are in debt. He asserted
that another season like last anG
this, and Richmond won't have
any tobacco warehouses.
City Attorney Chenault sale
that it seemed that the ware
housemen were late in coming in
with their protest, as the year for
which the license was due was al
most up. He did not feel sure
that the council had the right to
rebate or lower the license fee for
the past year.
City Clerk Blanton suggested
that as the warehouses did NJ
begin to do business until along
in December, that perhaps they
should be charged for only six or
eight months license as they were
idle the rest of the year.
After considerable discussion.
it was decided to have City At
torney Chenault and Mr.. Bennett
consult and investigate as to what
relief, if any. the city had the
power to grant at this stage of
the proceedings.
