GUARD IS ATTACKED
AND KILLS CONVICT
ATTEMPTING ESCAPE
Lone Guard with Nine Convicts
Has Death Struggle With Two
Of Them and Shoots One Down
AS He Attempts to Escape

A moments inadvertance on the
part of guard, j. M. McCrary, of the
Cobb county road working forces,
came near costing him his life and
resulted in the death of one of his
attackers on Tuesday morning when
he was assaulted by two of the me-
gro convicts under his charge when
they took refuge from the weather in
"a barn near the Dixie Highway three
miles north of Marietta.
Guard McCrary had nine convicts
all negroes, and the cold driving rain
caused him to seek shelter with them
in an old barn where they had been
at work. He stood guard at the clos
ed door, but when he turned to look
through crack in the door to inves.
tigate the weather, two of the con.
victs who were standing quite near
suddenly sprang upon him and attem.
pted to get possession of his pistol
his only weapon.
He had his arm folded and one
hand on the pistol-stock, and despite
the furious assault Of the negros, he
managed to shake them off and they
leaped from the door and fled in diff.
ferent directions, McCrary in pursuit.
of Gordon VanSant the man who had
led the attack, calling on him to halt
and firing his pistol, first in the ain
and finally at the negro, one bufle'
reaching the mark. with deadly effect
passing through VanSants neck anC
killing him instantly.
The other convict made a tempo,
rary escape, as McCrary had to guard
the other convicts in the barn, but he
surrendered very soon afterwards tt
one of the posse who instituted q
search for him. VanSant had esca.
ped once before but was recaptured
and was considered bad negro.

Subscribes Funds to Build A
New and Larger Glass Room

1t is an enthusiastic bod yof men
who have been attending the Bible
Glass at the Presbyterian Church this
fall and the enthusiasm is still grow
ing. So great is the interest that
now only those who are there early
can get at the present class room, or
the whole cless has to be shifted into
the main auditorium of the Church
as was done two weeks ago.
Judge S. H. Sibley is the teacher
and his most interesting presentment
of the topics is in great part respon-
sible for the growth and interest, but
to the class officers and the chairman
of committees is due much credit for
the success Of the organization.
During the summer it has been the
custom of the class to have a month
ly social meeting, serving refresh
ments, and having music and other
entertainment, in which they have
been most ably assisted by a number
OF the good women of the church.
AT a dinner served in the lecture
room of the school last Friday eve
ming the matter of more room for the
class was discussed and a subscript-
ION taken of the members present for
the purpose of supplementing the
church for building an extension on
school room, providing a class room
for men adequate for seating $50 or
300. The subscription of half the
class present was little less than
twelve hundred dollars, and it was an
nounced as the purpose of the organ
lzation to push the matter to early
action and completion.

BRAVERY OF WOMEN

News comes from Mt. Calvary set
Element, that while the chicken THE
yes are brave, the women of the com
munity are drawer STILL Not only are
the women drawer than the chicken
swipers, but they are Drawer than the
men as well-that is than their own
husbands.
The reports creeping in are to the
effect that contrary to the habit of the
men waiting until the squawk of some
poor kidnapped chick bemoans the
midnight aid and then rushing pell
nell to the rear door and sending
hurting lead after some vanishing OBJ
iect. which, while it is effective in
putting the robber to fight, never
theless enables him oftentimes to take
one or more feathered creatures with
him, the women of the community
have assumed a ''watchful waiting"
attitude, and so much so that the first
glimpse of a moving object in the vi
cinity of the fowl yard starts full
isade Of lead, and flame. The result
is that the same or an even more
precipitous flight is straightway in
dulged in by the chicken coveter, with
this advantage in favor of the wo-
men type of braveness. chickens

from which they have just been avert
ed and remain to latter grace a more
honorable and desirable table than
that of a breaker of one Of the cardi-
nal principals of the ten command
ments.

part of the women is rapidly putting
stop to the unexpected disappearance

This ultimatum has been issued by
Alfred +. w. Schmidt, librarian of the
university. and "by the eternals," IL
will be enforced. IT is a very sad
note for the gay young co-eds and the
be-spatted young male students. For
many of them the library has been
the social mecca of the university.
When a girl had something she was
just dying to tell to someone she
would go to the library and unburden
her soul. When young man needed
cigarette he could nearly always
bum" one from someone in the IL
brary. When student wanted to
park a coat. or a hat, or an umbrella,
or a stack OF college books, the liz
brary was the parking ground. When
a coed had been given a box of candy
by her fellow. she always went to the
library TO eat II and help have IL
eaten. But no more. The library
after this is going to be a library
simply this and nothing more.
Here are Prof. Schmidts six rules
of library etiquette, which he win en-
force with an iron hand:
Thou shalt not enter the library
except to study or to draw or return
books.
@The entrance and departure shall
be effected in as quiet and decorous
manner as possible.
3-Thou shalt not visit nor chat
with neighbors in the library.
Thou thalt not park thy coats.
hats, umbrellas. or packages in the
library.
5-Thou shalt not use the library as
trash receptacle for brief cases,
newspapers, or waste paper.
6-Thou shalt not sell candy. maya
zines, or tickets in the library or en-
gage in any other business TRANSACT
tions therein.

ed. Guess that means we park our
cosmetic cases on the outside, too"
