Just now in our Basement Store, there
are excellent assortmeats of Flags-a

throw a scientific scare into experts at
the hygienic laboratory of the pubic
health service the other day by sud
denly announcing that many OF the
governments best known specimens or
worms. sealed in jars of alcohol, had
been stolen.
The police were called. These worms
were SO valuable, it was said, that folks
who make study of such things came
here from all parts of the world just
to look at them. Disguised as doc
tors. the cops stood around the case
where the worms used to stay by the
hour, just watching. Meanwhile, the
government scientists were becoming
desperate. Not word about the dar-
ing theft was permitted to reach the
public.
Suddenly a very young policeman
who had taken a correspondence course
in detective work, had sudden in
spiration.
How many worms did you have in
the iars?" he asked, and they told him.
"How many have you got left!' he
asked again, giving his head slant and
looking wise. They told him that. too.
Then count 'em again." he ordered.
And, behold, they counted the worms
and not one was missing.

Macon, Ga, July 29.-Spasmodic fir

of persons headed by sheriff's deputies
for "COcky' Glover, q negro, followed
the killing of Walter c. Byrd, deputy
sheriff and the wounding of three ne
groes here Saturday night in shooting
affray in negro pool room.
The police urged all negroes to go to
their rooms after rescuing one from a
downtown crowd and seeing others shot
at. and it appeared that race riot
which police feared, had been averted.
The killing followed the entry into
the pool room of Deputy Byrd. accom-
panied by Deputies Romus Raley and
Will Jakes, the latter negro, in search
of negro criminal. Glover was ac
cused of having shot Byrd in the back.
Firing became general and when the
smoke cleared away Byrd was dying
and three negroes were wounded.
A number of arrests were made in
the pool room and search was begun
that led to the Okmulgee river bottoms.
Later police and deputies went through
the negro section looking for Glover,
who had escaped from the pool room
by leaping through window.
The pool room is on block occupied
almost entlreiy DE negro business
places and lodging houses and they were
closed by police orders and all negroes
forbidden to show themselves in the
black as a matter of precaution.
Negroes later were fired upon down
town by groups of whites. according to
police reports and they advised all mem
bers of that race to go to their homes.
1t was not known whether any were
injured and one negro was rescued
by police from a crowd. number
of arrests were made after the shooting
