Grand Jury'S Presentment

The following was the presentmcnt
ternoon:
The grand jury for Laurens county
begs to make It's final presentment for
the year 1922
The grand jury, in the first place,
would like to go on record as hearth
ly appreciating the courtesy shown to
said body by the judges during the
year and to the other officers of the
court and to the lawyers.
In the next place grand jury wishes
to state, that the records Of the yari-
Gus officers Of the county have been
inspected and we find that said records
are all right, thus showing that each
has been faithful to the trust given
him.
We recommend that all cars confis-
Gated for transporting liquor be adj
Vertiscd and sold by the sheriff of the
county. We commend the sheriff and
the rural police force for their activi-
ties in the matter Of law enforcement
and especially the aggressive fight
against the violators Of the prohibi-
tion law. We urge that said officers
keep up this good work of law en-
forcemcnt.
We find that the schools OF the
county are In good shape in every re-
spect except that many districts arc
in debt. We find, however, that the
majority of these districts are in debt
because OF no carelessness on the part
Of school officials but rather to a de-
fciency in appropriations. We recon-
mend that districts stay out of debt If
possible. We further recommend that
all school money go through the
hands OF the county treasurer in order
that record may be had Of all school
expenses.
The grand jury had full and def
mite report from the county supervisor
or Laurens county. Several reports
came to the grand jury relative to the
roads and bridges of the county. The
supervisor gave satisfactory report
regarding these matters. The grand
jury feels that tho supervisor Is doing
the best he can with the forces and
material available. We recommend
that the supervisor see that the pris-
oners under his care are not treated
violently but at the same time we
recommend that said prisoners be not
allowed the privileges OF citizens dur
ing the Weekend
We recommend that Magistrate p.
M. Gellams summon G.. d. Dwight to
trial, who was arrested by Claud Ow-
ings or speeding on August the 9Th.
In the last place we wish to state
that we find all the forces of the coun..
ty working for the betterment Of tho
interests of the county. And especial
ly do we wish to commend the ladies'
OF the county for the interest being
taken In the identifying Of the court
house grounds and for the interest
being taken for the bettering OF con-
ditions In general
All of which Is respectfully submit
ted by the grand jury OF Laurens coun-
ty
L. B. DIIiLARD, y
Foreman.
The grand jury was dismissed by tho
Judge with compliment. upon Its eff
ficient and rapid work.

WASHINGTON AFTER STORMY
CAREER.

Washington, Sept. 2G.-ljnitcd states
senator Thomas lI. Watson, Of Gcor-
sla, died suddenly at his home here
early today. Death was said to be due
to an acute attack OF asthma from
which Senator Watson had suffered
rccurrcntly for some years.
Although failing hearth nad inter-
ruptcd Senator Watson's attendance
at senate sessions frequently in the
last several months, he was in his seat
Friday when the senate adjourned and
his friends believed that he was then
showing Improvement He was strick
en- suddenly after dinner last night
and passed away shortly after 3 O'Clock
thiS morning He was 6G years old
Members of the senator's family and
a number of his close friends were at
his bedside when the end came.
during the first year and half Of
his term in the senate, to which he
was elected in 1920, Senator Watson
gave no indication of any impairment
of the vigor and activity which had
marked his long career. In his last
speech in the senate delivered a week
ago Wednesday, the Georgia senator
severely criticised the administration
lor us course in connection with the
rail strike situation. His previous at
tacks on the administration and most
notably his charges Of illegal hang
lngs in the American expeditonary
forces, the subject Of exhaustive in
vcstigation by senate committee, had
made him conspicuous figure in the
senate.

IS
BEING PRODUCED
BY A WINDMILL
Kansas Farmer lIIuminates
His House, Barn and
Grounds, Uses 1t TO Cook,
Churn and Grind Feed

Hutchison, Kans, Dec. 81
Across the Atlantic ocean on the
British Isles, men are discussing the
probability OF windmills producing
electricity in rural sections. Three
and one-half miles south of Hutchi-
son a Kansas man has already done
that and found that it works sue
cessfully.
II. A. Pennington tested his
windmill electricity-generating
plant and found that he could H.
Illuminate his house, barn, grounds
and have electricity to spare for
pumping, milking, incubation pur-
poses, churning, cooking and grind
ing feed.
A twelve-foot wheel on a forty
foot tower is the main part OF the
generating plant, Pennington says.
The windmill will operate when
there is an eight-mile-an hour
breeze, he explains. Most Kansas
breezes are that strong or stronger
and the wind does all the work.
When stronger winds come, the
mill still generates electricity un-
less the wind becomes better than
-miles-an-hou a S0-mile-an-
hour gale will automatically shut
off the generating.
Gains hold on threats for Kan
sas farmers, it is declared, since
the storage connections of the
windmill, for days when there Is no
breeze, will accommodate the needs
of most rural homes and their
needs for ten days without the
windmill turning. Kansas periods
of windless days are unknown,
Pennington has been informed.
1.-THE system is entirely automatic
as all the electricity is generated
while pumping water for farm pur-
poses" explained the man who In
stalled the system, believed to be
the first one in Kansas intended to
supply the needs Of a farm. THE
plant will furnish lighting, and
power for milking four cows at a
time, for washing. ironing, and
other purposes about the house
and farm"
A one-horse power motor may be
run from the battery. The only
cost of the generating machinery
which is placed at the top of the
windmill. is that OF the oil neces-
sary for fabrication, according to
Pennington.
Harry T. Taylor. also of Hutchin-
son, built a similar windmill cleo
trical plant before Penningtons
was tested. Taylor's was a past
ime with him and was placed at his
country home on Little river. A
Denver man is believed to have
been the first to have used a wind
electric plant. His name is o. F
Fritchle. and his invention dates
| back to four Years ago.

BODIES OF z LOUISIANA
MOB VICTIMS BURIED
Continued from Page One.

Immediately inauguarted the sec
ond phase, arrests of suspects Of
the crime. During Friday an in
fantry company at Alexandria and
n machine gun company ut New
orleans were ordered to entrain
for Bastrop, the parish scat OF
Morehouse.
Accompanying the machine gun
company was the attorney general,
who went to set the legal machin-
cry of the state in motion, and also
two eminent pathologists of New
Orleans.
One Arrest is Made
Yesterday, the first Of the many
arrests promised by the attorney
general was made when a former
deputy sheriff was jailed charged
with murder. Two national guard
companies established camp on the
court house grounds and trained
machine guns on the jail. The at
torney general set January 8 as
the date for open hearings. An
inquest was held after pathologists
had examined the bodies and an
nounced the men had been beaten
and some bones broken before they
died. The Identification Of the
bodies was pronounced satisfactory
to the authorities and were turned
over to relatives for burial.

for the reason that In the average
year the average hunter does not
know where to look for them, and
when he sees great many does
and no bucks he concludes there is
buck shortage, whereas he has
simply failed to find the bucks.
The truth Of this was forcibly dem
onstrated during the past year in
the Silver City region, where for
years past u buck shortage has
been recorded When the 1922
drouth, however, forced all of the
bucks into the lower country, ev-
erybody was astounded at the num-
ber of bucks seen, and almost ev-
erybody succeeded in bagging one.
1t remains a fact, however, that
the buck shortage exists in some
places to dangerous degree. There
is q certain school of thought
among sportsmen which advocates
that the way to meet this situation
is to open the season on does. The
New Mexico Game Protestive AS
sociation has so far held the opin-
ion that this line Of reason is a
dangerous fallacy, and the eXpef-
fence of other States bears out
this opinion. New York has twice
faced the same situation and has
twice opened the season on does,
only to find that the annual kill
of bucks did not decrease, where
as great slaughter of does took
place and the annual number of
hunting accidents increased prodi-
giously.
Increasing the kill of females is
a mighty poor device for increasing
the supply of males. The best way
to insure buck supply is to insure
the adequate observance of game
refugees. These refugees are bound
to be preferred range for deer, and
will be naturally appropriated by
the older and stronger bucks and
these will then be safe against
killing. This will force the young
er bucks and the old stays into
the non-refuge or open territory,
where they will not only furnish q
constant supply of hunting, but will
tend to insure against the existence
of dry does on this territory. OF
course the present refugees will
have to be given time to get into
real operation before this effect
on the buck shortage may be ex-
pected.
On a good many of the smaller
mountain ranges of New Mexico,
the deer supply has been alloWeS
70 become so decimated that re-
fuges alone can hardly be expected
to restore it to normal In such
cases, temporary local closed sea-
sons establisher by the State Game
Commission under its new regula-
tory powers are undoubtedly the
remedy which should be pursued.
The sportsmen Of New Mexico
should not be satisfied until the
State is producing 5000 bucks per
year instead of the present 500:
Even this would be only one buck
per year per 5000 acres of deer
range and it would require a breed
ing stock Of probably five animals
per buck killed to sustain perman-
entity this production. It is quite
obvious that the average New
Mexico range could provide feed
for five animals on every 3,0tO
acres without the slightest inter-
ference with any other resource or
industry, and our failure to thus
stock the New Mexico deer ranges
to more than 10 per cent of their
productive capacity ~ the measure
OF the opportunity which We are
wasting year by year.

Notwithstanding very bad weather,
the get-together banquet at the Ran
dali Thursday night was a great sue
cess, "a plates being laid and speak
ing continued until IL o'clock.
1t was decided unanimously that
Morrlstown needed an organization,
patterned after the Chamber of Com
merce at Burlington, and officers
were chosen to put this into effect.
The banquet was all this paper had
predicted it would be and some more.
Mine host, Carroll F. Randall, GER
tainly did serve a fine one 1t was
so good that President T. B. Wright
publicly complimented him by saying
it was as good as any he had ever
attended and that the service was
perfect. Local men say the same.
The menu follows: Oyster, milk
stew; chicken pie and vegetables; like
mothers; salad, best combination;
ice cream and home baked cake; sal
tines and cheese; coffee; cigars.
DR.. George L. Bates presided in
the absence of the president of the
old Board of Trade. He made brief
remarks, but took up very little time,
as the lateness of the trains made
the banquet late in starting.
After short remarks by James L.
Kelley of Burlington, who told of the
work of the Burlington Chamber;
Edward Hanbridge, who described
the methods of operation of the Bur-
lington organizations; and H. B.
Slingerland, who talked on the state
highway question, T. B. Wright was
introduced as the speaker of the eve
ming.
He gave one of the best business
talks we ever heard. 1t was right
to the point. Briefly he outlined the
experience Burlington had had with
previous organizations, and the de-
fects of each He emphasized the
need there of an organization broad
