To the Many Friends
Of The Shellman News

1t has been my aim since the very
first issue of the Shellman News to
make for Shellman and Shellman ter
ritory one of the best weekly news
papers in circulation. | have Striven at
all times to make its columns well
worth your while, full of news and
social items that would interest every
reader. The advertisements which have
been so generously given by the mer-
chants have been arranged in such
way that every subscriber of the paper
has been pleased to read them.
This paper came to life in April and
since that time | have given much
time, study and attention to it. 1t has
been brought through one OF the most
irving times of history. AS every one
knows it has been consolidated with
one of the very best newspapers--1n
this or any other state. | want every
person in Shellman to feel that this
paper is a Shellmap paper in every
respect, Just as much SO as If it were
printed right in Shellman. This COM
bination with The Dawson News has
made it possible for Shellman to have
paper second to none, which could
only have been possible because of its
connection with paper that is so well
established. Shellman is much too
small to support paper such as we
are able to have under this arrange
ment.
| take great pleasure in announcing
that Miss Sayde Weathers has been
appointed my successor. Miss Wealth
ers is wide awake, energetic and will
ing at all times to do all that is pos
sible for the up-building Of our little
town. With the support of every clti--
zen of Shellman she will be enabled
to make even greater progress with
the paper than has already been made.
Do not consider that the Shellman
News is foreign paper, belonging to
some outsider, but on the other hand
think of the paper as yours; yours for
the betterment of your community and
for all who dwell therein. Put your
influence and assistance behind the pa
per with her, and | am sure that IN
time you will have cause to feel proud
of every line that is published to rep
resent our prosperous, growing town,
Shellman.

SHELLMAN STILL LEAD
ING IN COTTON RECEIVED

Cotton received and weighed at the
different warehouses through Saturday,
September 18th, in Shellman is as fol-
lows: Farmers warehouse 1,512, Peo-
pies warehouse LIPS, and w. R. Cur
rvs private warehouse 202, making q
total of 2,542. This amount is approx
mated as practically three quarters of
this years crop. On account Of the
fuctuating tendency of the market the
farmers have not sold as readily as
they would have otherwise. The top
of the market was reached at 20 cents.
This was ~ cents below last weeks
top. During the past week the cotton
seed market has advanced $40, putting
seed at $40. The farmers are selling
their seed
Several loads of peanuts were
brought to town, but only for storage.
The peanut market during the past

Randolph County
Sunday School Institute
Meeting at Shellman Largely Attend
ed. An Interesting Program.

ed. An Interesting Program.
The Randolph county Sunday school
institute was held at Shellman Thurs
day. and was a largely attended and
successful meeting of Sunday school
workers. 1t was held under the su-
pervision of Rev. w. H. Ketchum, OF
Brentwood, district director OF Sunday
school work, who is using his time and
energies to carry forward the interests
of this branch of the denomination
In each district the superintendent
of the different departments OF Sun
day school work are assisting in these
institutes. Rev. Reese Griffin, OF Daw-
son. superintendent of teacher training,
was the first to speak on the program,
stressing the great Importance OF ett1-
Gent teachers, made possible by the
teacher training course. Then came
Rev. Herman Jones, of Blakely, su-
perintendent of evangelism. The theme
Iof his discussion prompted by pos
ter hung in the church, (Which hath
greater value, childhood or wealth!
suggesting the home as its most tunda-
mental topic for comment, gave Mr.
tones the opportunity of delivering an
inspired message of truth and timely
need. Upon parents in their home lite
and the rearing of their children he
placed the great responsibility of the
church, of social life and the CONNER
cial world. Those who heard Rev. Mr.
tones were impressed with the high
moral standard and spiritual ideals
which might be implanted within the
hearts of our children if we as Chris
tan parents might take Gods word
for our guide.
At the afternoon session Mrs. John
Watts, elementary superintendent OF
the Americas district introduced Miss
Mary Dozier, of Columbus, who has
charge of the elementary work in the
Columbus district. After her splendid
talk on graded worship and literature
she presented the standards of rank
toward which all Sunday schools OF
Southern Methodism are striving.
She1lman in her elementary depart
ment has attained third rank, and
Americas as a district has reached
third rank.
The social hour at noon with basket
dinner served on the church yard al
forded pleasure to all those in attend
ance and gave opportunity for repre-
sentatives of the different schools of
the county to become better acquaint-
ed. We were glad to have not only
representatives of the schools of the
county but interested workers from the
Dawson Methodist Sunday school. The
day was one of rare profit and pleas
ure and we hope that the institute may
come to us again in its future develop
ments with larger results and a broad
err view of the importance of Sunday
school work in our midst and the sur
rounding community.

LIVELY HEARING ON
TOGUS CASE TUESDAY
AT MUNICIPAL COURT

Judge cony Finds Probable Cause in
Case Against Hartford G. Noble,
Charged With Wiifully Damaging
a Dwelling House, the Store and
Home Of Will Shaw at Tosus
There was more or lessof a cele-
bration on the night Of the Fourth
at the store of Will Shaw on the To-
gus road and near the National Sol
diers' Home according to the evil
dence introduced at lively hearing
held Tuesday morning before Judge
Robert D. Cony at the municipal
court. And from all appearances it
was not an orderly and well super
vised celebration that was staged.
Will Shaw who lives in the rooms
over his store testified that at 1880
after he had retired for the night, he
heard a mans voice asking him to
get up and open the store. The man
stated that he wanted to buy some
cigarettes. Mr.. Shaw replied from
the window that he had retired for
the night The man replied that if
Mr.. Shaw did not get up. he would
open the store for him. And then.
according to the testimony of Mr..
Shaw, the man broke the lock of the
door, broke in four of the windows,
and threw garbage into the store.
Deputy Marshal William Corbett
testified that he had been called out
there and had seen the broken win
dows and the broken lock.
,.I w
veteran at the Home, better known
as Buster" Noble, and James Han
rahan of Augusta were arraigned on
the charge of wilfully and wantonly
| injuring and damaging a dwelling
house. They pleaded not guilty. Mr..
Shaw identified both of them as the
| men who were around his store at
that time, and he stated that he re-
cognized Mr.. Noble by his voice, as
the man who had talked with him.
Messrs. Noble and Hanrahan had
been found the next morning by De-
putty Marshall Corbett near the ice
house at Togus.
Mr.. Hanrahan admitted that he
was there at the time. He testified
; that he was waiting for a car there.
but made no attempt to open the
door of the store and had no con-
versation with Mr.. Shaw, and that
he had not seen Mr.. Noble come a
| long and try the door of the store.
| Mr.. Noble admitted that he had
| breaking the lock or the windows.
He testified that while he was there
| by the door someone hit him in the
eye, and as proof of this he exhibit
| ted a somewhat battered left eye.
He said he did not know who hit
him. Both Mr.. Noble and Mr. Han
rahan testified that Mr.. Shaw had
thrown something at them.
| According to the testimony of Mr..
Noble there was a third party out
side the door of the store, and that
man had not been apprehended.
The court decided that Mr.. Noble
was the only one around the store
door at that time and that he must
have been responsible for the often
Sc. Probable cause was found and
Mr.. Noble was ordered to furnish
bonds in the sum of $500 for his ap-
pearance at the September term of
the Kennebec superior court AT
last report he had not furnished the
bond required.
Judge Cony continued the case
against Hanrahan until Thursday of
this week, letting the respondent GO
on his own recognizance.
