NEGRO BOY KILLS
YOUNG WHITE MAN
AT A COMMITTAL TRIAL IL
YEAR-OLD JOE GREEN is
DISCHARGED BY COURT.

Lester K. Powell, well-known
throughout the county, was instantly
killed Wednesday night by Joe Green,
12-year-old negro boy, who lives on
the farm of Powell's mother, about
five miles north of Dawson.
AT a committal trial held here on
Saturday morning before Magistrate
J. w. Peddy all the negroes were dis
charged, the court holding that the
evidence was not sufficient to bind
Toe Green or any of the other de-
fendants-Sa Green, Julia Belle
Green, Charity Mae Green and Char
lie Green-over to the superior court.
H. A. Wilkinson represented the de-
PENDANTS, and R. r. Jones conducted
the case for the state.
1t seems that the negroes had been
picking boil weevils, and in the alter
noon in some way incurred PowelPs
displeasure, who at night, went to
their house and pushed open the door
despite a negro girls efforts to keep
it shut On entering he struck at
the mother with large stick he car
ried in his hand and picked up shot
gun which was in the corner. He
raised the gun and continued to hit
at the woman when Joe, begging him
not to kill his mother, jumped into
the fray, and in the scuffie the gun
was discharged. The load hit Powell
in the breast and entered his carotid
artery, killing him instantly.
Sheriff Woods and Deputy Jen-
nings went to the scene Immediately
and arrested all the negroes in the
family and brought them to jail.
Lester Powell was u years old and
unmarried He lived on the farm OF
his mother, Mrs. jennie Powell, with
his brother, John Powell He is sur
vived by his mother, brother and one
sister, Mrs. T. G. Cox, Of Milsted.

BIG BARBECUE HAS

THERE'LL BE PLENTY OF EN-

The original celebration planned for
the Fourth of July has been called
off, due to unforeseen circumstances,
and the barbecue and speaking will
not be held on that day.
Dawson will have plenty of enter
tainment on the holiday, however, to
keep her citizens Interested through
out the day.
The American Legion pool will be
open during the entire day and water
sports of all varieties will be enjoyed
by the large crowd that is sure to
take advantage of a swim in this mod
ern natatorium.
Baseball is also on the program
and will draw crowds to Dawson from
this entire section. Arlington and
Dawson will tie up in the afternoon

Miniature Model City
Made by Dawson Man
Ingenious Model Is Now on Display
At Locke-Matflis Motor Co.

The miniature model city which
has attracted much attention in the
window of the Locke-Mathis Motor
Co. was conceived in the brain of a
Dawson man and every detail con-
structed by him.
Mr.. w. ]. Goodbred manager OF
the Rogers store here, planned and as
semb1ed the entire display. The min
iature city contains a grist mill with
its water wheel turning industriously,
theater advertising the latest mo-
ton picture plays, large wind mill
revolving around with the same sturdy
motion of real one, a child swinging
on a rope swing suspended from the
limbs of a spreading oak. A canal
flows languidly by with two boats ply
ing its waters and a real toy railway
with its Lilliputian locomotive and
cars completes the scene and gives II
the necessary modern touch. The
power is furnished by small electric
motor, which is connected to the diff
ferent objects by an ingenious set O.
cog wheels and pulleys. The attention
to every detail and the smoothnesS
with which the entire outfit operates
marks Mr.. Goodbred as a mechanical
genius.
The whole model is an artistic as
well as mechanical wonder, and viii
be left in the window of Locke-Mathis
Motor Co. for another week.

GETS DISCHARGE FROM
GOVERNMENT HOSPITAL
A. H. Miller May Obtain Vocational
Training in Near Future.

Mr.. A. H. Miller, who has been re-
ceiving treatment at the United States
veterans hospital at Gulfport, Miss,
has received his medical discharge
and is at home again with his family
on Seventh avenue.
Mr.. Miller was under treatment sew
eral months, and it is gratifying to
his friends here to know that his
health is much improved.
While at the hospital he took such
an active part in poultry raising that
he was unoficially rated as one OF
the best there, and upon his discharge
the commanding officers recommend
ed that he specially receive vocational
training in this line. He will remain
at home some time, until he hears the
result of the recommendation and
learns just where the government will
send him for the training.
