THREE HUOSONS
PAID FLOGGERS
Macon Police Preparing to Roundup
Organized Band

Macon, Ga, August 2O-From in
formation obtained from the three
Hudson brothers, arrested last
night in the act of hogging two me-
groes, the police tonight were prepar-
ing to round up an organized flogging
band which has been terrorizing
Macon for several weeks, according
to authorities.
During the last fortnight, several
men have been whipped and ordered
to leave town within forty-eight hours,
and at intervals during the last six
months, scores of men have been fog
ged. The climax in the disorders was
reached early Saturday when the
police engaged in a running pistol
battle with alleged hoggers after they
had kidnapped a man from in front
OF the railroad station. Gov. Walker
threatened to place the citv under
martial law.
The police also announced tonight
that the Hudsons and other members
OF the hogging band were paid men
and that thru the Hudsons they had
learned they were being financed by
an organization. A confession from
one of the Hudsons, the police said,
was expected during the night and
names of those who have been financ-
ing the foggers would be made pub
| lie.
We expect to make other arrests
within forty-eight hours said Sher-
if J. B. Hicks, Jr. The county Off
cial would not tell what had been dis
! closed in his examination of the three
brothers.
The police admitted that thew were
at work on tthe theory that the three
men who were caught by officers last
night in the act of fogging one, with
mask still covering his face. are
part of a gang that has been conduct
ing wholesale whippings in the city.
we are trying to bring out of these
men the names of those whom we be-
lieve financed their operations" the
sheriff declared. at seems almost GER
tain that others supplied the money
| and issued orders for the operations
of the gang" he added
The federal government entered the
case today when postoffice inspectors
joined forces with the city authorities
/ to apprehend gangsters who held up
8 mail motor truck Saturday and at
tempted to remove Charley Mike, ne
gro, for the purpose of whipping him.
The driver today was unable to iden-
tify the automobile used by the three
Hudsons when they were caught last
night
R. A. Hartley, World War veteran,
the last man to report he had been
logged, was committed to jail during
the day on writ of lunacy. His broth
er is also being held on an insanity
charge. Hartley has declared his broth
er's condition was due to fright be-
cause of a threat of his foggers.
Hartley was taken into custody
while attempting to obtain warrant

Survey Shows Good Road
Soon Repays It's Cost
prepared by the United states Department
of Agrculture)

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture
A good road is such paying invest
ment that ii Is the poorest KIND or
business Judgment to do without it. &C
cOrding to the bureau of public roads
of the United States Department OF
Agriculture. The bureau produces fig
ures based upon a survey OF traffic In
Connecticut to prove its contention. An
actual count of the traffic on the B0s-
ton post road showed that the average
weight of vehicles and commodities
rmssinx over the road in nine hours
each day was LAO tons. Adding one
third as conservative estimate for
the full day increases the weight to l.
go gross tons daily.
Experiments made at the Iowa ex-
pertinent station show that with gaso-
line at Is cents gallon the cost OF
moving this tonnage over a dirt rond
would have been S26.44 mile. assum-
ing the impossible, that such traffic
could DO carried over q dirt road. The
cost Of fuel for moving the same tom
mage over = paved road would be
SI1.7O, a difference Of $14.74 day. On
the basis of 200 days a year the actual
saving In fuel alone for moving this
tonnage would be $4,422. II the paved
highway costs $4,000 Il mile, the av-
erage interest at per cent would be
81 600 q year, which, deducted from
the saving on fuel, would leave a bal
ance which would retire the cost OF
the road in less than IL years.
This calculation does not take into
account other savings in the cost Of Op-
Grating commercial vehicles or value
of the heavy movement Of passenger
vehicles.
In less developed rural sections the
value of the gasoline saved Is reduced
In proportion to the lighter travel. but
the cost Of the roads is corresponding
ly reduced, and there is no doubt that
an analysis and comparison of the
highway costs and the vehicle operat-
Ing cost In any particular case will
demonstrate the economy OF improve
ment wherever the traffic Is sufficient
to call for any Improvement at all.

KILLS HIS WIFE AND
COMMITS SUICIDE
Double Crime of Charles H. Lem
mond at Charlotte

CHARLOTTE, N. C. Aug. 10
Charles H. Lemmond, jeweler, this
morning shot and killed his wife, for
merly Miss Bessie L. Richards OF

sustained in struggle with her hus-
band and was shot on the sidewalk

self in front of his door steps after his
wife had crumpled up.
The shooting is said to have been
the elimination of years of disagree
ment between the couple, Mrs. Lem
mond having previously left her hus-
band several times.
The couple have two children.

Bhuminous Material Is
Useful for Road Surface

Application of bituminous material
;1,&y be made successfully on any farm
s0ad which has already been construct
ed of stone, gravel or other similar ma
terlal, and IL in a thoroughly COM
pacted and reasonably smooth condi-
ton. A coal-tar preparation applied
cold. or an asphaltic oil, can be used
and II applied by the farm employees,
the cost should not exceed or s
cents a square yard for materials.
The cOmpa cted gravel or stone road
should be thoroughly cleaned of dust
and the bltumen applied with ordinary
sprlnkiing pots from which the per-
f0rated noxzle has been removed and
the spout carefully fiattened into d
symmetrical rectangular opening about
Qne-Quarter OF an inch wide, 80 that
the material may be poured in q broad,
fiat Stream.
IL large amount Of work is to be
done, specially designed pouring can
may be purchased Of dealers In road
equipment. Care should be taken to
have an even distribution, and the
quantity applied should be approx
mately one-half gallon to square
yard of road surface. After applying
the bitumlnOus material, clean gravel
or stone chips should be spread evenly
over the surface, and il possible, rolled
with a lawn or field roller. Where
gravel or chips are not available, clean
coarse sand will serve as covering
material. 1t should be spread in suf-
ficient quantity to prevent the btu
ninOus material from adhering to tires
of passing vehicles.
This treatment should not BE- made
where drainage from the stables or
barns will flow over 1t. Where mud
holes are likely to form around hit ch-
ing posts or at stable entrances, II
more duraHfe pavement Is desired 4
section OF concrete slab should be laid.
