SIX IN LOUISIANA
TO Die FOR MURDER
SEXTETTE FACE DEATH BE-
CAUSE OF KILLING OF ONE
MAN. HAD TWO TRIALS.

Closely guarded in prison in New
Orleans, La, six young men are check
ing off the days still left for them to
live. After two trials on a charge of
murder they have been sentenced to
death. Unless there should be FUR
ther development in the case, which
now appears improbable, they all will
be hanged at noon, Nov. 21st.
Six men to be executed for the muir
der of one is in itself rather an I'M
usual thing in the annals of crime. But
other features of this affair are quite
extraordinary, raising questions which
perhaps never will be answered.
The victim Of the murder, the pro
prietor of restaurant at Amite, La,
was killed by a bullet. Evidently only
one man could have fired the shot
which did the actual killing. But the
law holds, in such cases. that all the
persons involved are equally guilty.
And in this case all the six men have
steadfastly maintained their innocence.
A life term of imprisonment might
have been imposed on some of the SIX,
instead of the death sentence, if ameli-
Grating circumstances had become
known. But the guilty man. for rea-
sons known only to himself, has re-
fused to speak except in protestation
of his innocence. More astonishing
still, the FIVE men who did not fire the
shot, however guilty they may have
been in spirit have guarded the secret
lust as closely

BOOM GROWING OF
COTTON IN AUSTRALIA
ENGLISHMEN PLAN PRODUC-
TON ON HUGE SCALE WITH
WHITE LABOR.

Observation-Disclosures as to
the possibility OF growing cotton on
a large scale in Australia with white
labor is the plan of a delegation of
distinguished English citizens who
passed through Chicago en- route to
San Francisco. The delegation, headed
by B. Compton Wood, of Smith, Rath-
bone & Co., includes H. c. Arm
strong, managing director of the
Australian Cotton Growers Associa-
ton; Harold Parker, managing direc-
tor of William Calvert & Sons; Rich
ard Harding and w. F. Ashcroft.
MIR. Wood explained the object OF
the trip. THE whole thing is really an
attempt to encourage emigration to
Australia" he said. at may seem that
with white labor costs of production
will be far too high for competition
with other cotton producing countries,
but until the boil weevil is finally ex-
terminated from America the price OF
cotton always will be maintained at
the present high figure, and we have
hopes of producing prohtably at that
price in Australia"

PREPARING FOR THE
LEGION CONVENTION
NEW ORLEANS STREETS BE-

ADJUSTMENTS PLANNED.

New Orleans, La, is fast becoming
city of gay colors and odd-named
streets in preparation for the national
convention of the American Legion,
to be held there Oct. 1920. Enter
tainment is being planned for 10000
legionnaires and guests. Erie Cooke,
of Dawson, is one OF ten delegates
who will represent Georgia.
The convention sessions will be held
in large hall built astride the Mis-
sissippi river levee. The hall will seat
$4,000 persons. The interior will be
decorated with flags OF all nations, le-
gion emblems and banners and palm
trees.
Each street will have new name
during the convention. Famous cities
and battles OF the world war will be
recalled by names OF the city thor
oughfares. Twenty eight thousand
electric lights have been provided to
light the streets.
A French carnival night, a big in
teruational naval show, and many
street dances and mardi gras will feat
ure the convention week Airplanes
will give exhibitions during the day.

Treasury Generously Opened.
Il recite the figures to remind the
congress how generously and how
properly it has opened the treasury
doors to discharge the obligations OF
the nation TO those to whom it indis-
putably owes compensation and care.
Though undying gratitude is the need
OF every one who served, it is not to
be said that a material bestowal is an
obligation to those who emerged from
the great conflict not only unharm-
ed but physically, mentally and spirit
ually richer for the great experience.
II an obligation were TO be admitted
it would be to charge the adjusted
compensation bill with inadequacy and
stirginess wholly unbecoming our re-
public. Such a bestowal, to be worth
while, must be generous and without
apology"

Electricity From a

of a physician, drew electricity grad
ually from the body of Henry Besel
after he and his father, John Besel,
were struck by lightning on their
ranch, at Waterville, 20 miles north of

killed by the stroke, and the Besels
were severely burned.
When the thunderstorm arose the
father and son stepped to the heads
of the horses to quiet them, each
holding three of the animals. Two
horses on one side and one on the
other, were killed. When the doctor
got shock on taking hold of the
pulse of Henry Besel, 10, he ordered
formation of the human circuit.

CONGRESSMAN IN A
CHICAGO RUM RING
ACCUSED MAN ALLEGED TO
HAVE CASHED CHECKS PAID
HIM FOR BOOZE SUPPLIES.

CHICAGO, Ill.-Further ramifca-
tons of the big booze ring were ex-
posed to day when checks were pro-
duced by those who paid them for
protection in illegal liquor traffic. The
checks were made out to a Chicago
congressman and were cashed by him.
He received, it is said, $1,000 for ev-
cry 10 barrels of illegal booze the ring
disposed OF. In the light of this dis
closure, the prohibition agents will
probably ask a congressional inquiry
with possible impeachment of the con-
gresham, whose name is withheld for
the present
Another angle OF the business came
to light today when the activity of an
alleged wholesale fruit dealer was in
vestigated. He had contracts to fur
nish 5000 hogsheads of the fruit in
excess of the amount the packers had
agreed to buy. Then he organized a
fruit company. The company purchas-
ed large quantities of whisky for the
alleged purpose OF preserving the cher
ries When the investigation began
one of the partners fed to Italy. 1t is
shown that 10000 gallons of whisky
was disposed of for drinking purposes.
When members of, this ''fr.:it COM
pany" faced prosecution they demand
ed $4,000 from their wealthy hacker
for further fixing and protection" In
stead of paying it he went before the
prohibition agents and exposed the
entire mess. He says that when it was
necessary to secure the release OF
whisky some one would notify the
congressman, who would telephone a
federal official to make the release of
10 barrels, collect his $1,000 check and
the incident was closed. The Cancelled
checks are now in the hands of gov
eminent authorities along with COM
plete confession of the manner in which
the deals were put over.

CRISP is NOMINATED
FOR ANOTHER TERM
DIR. LAMAR IS MADE PERMA-
NENT CHAIRMAN. NOMI-
NEE MAKES SPEECH.

A convention composed of delegates
from all the counties OF the Third con-
gressional district met in Americas on
Wednesday to ratify the result Of the
recent primary, which nominated Con-
gresham Charles R. Crisp to succeed
himself
The convention was called to order
by T. M. Furlow, OF Americas who
presided in the absence of T. H.
Gregory, of Vienna, who was i'll, and
DR.. L. Lamar, of Dawson, was made
permanent chairman and John Greer,
of Oglethorpe, permanent secretary.
The speech placing Mr. Crisp in
nomination was made by Hon. John
B. Query, of Montezuma.
In an address before the convention
Mr.. Crisp declared that the republican
party is in the midst OF the most CO.
lossal political failure ever faced by
any party in the history OF American
politics. and said there has never been
a time when Wall street had firmer
grip on the affairs at Washington than
now.
The tariff has put a tax OF from
three to five billion dollars annually
put through because the rich who
bought the government demanded It,
according to the congressman. The Ii
berian loan, he characterized as de
mand that the United States pay in
ternationai bankers the amount due
for bonds which had been repudiated
by a negro government long before
the world war occurred" He attacked
the anti-lynching bill as direct blow
at the south, being enacted to give
the negroes of the north as a sop to
their injured feelings.
Speaking of tax exempt securities
CONGRESSMAN Crisp said: Il am unal-
terably opposed to the issuing of any
more tax exempt securities, for they
provide the rich man haven for his
money at a rate of interest that in the
long run returns him more for his
money than would an investment that
Melted him q per cent. There are at
present about Is billions of securities
tax exempt in this country, and | am
opposed to any more being issued
either by the federal or state govern
ments," said MIR. Crisp.
The delegates and other friends were
given a barbecue by Mr.. Crisp. A
number of citizens Of Dawson and
other sections of the county represent
ed Terrell at the convention.
DR.. J. G. Dean was elected to rep
resent Terrell county on the district
executive committee A resolution was
adopted that five women be appointed
by the chairman as members OF the
committee from the district al large.
