AT Henderson, Mr. Bentley was
highly esteemed by some Oh the
parents, teachers. pupils and citizens
and he was bitterly disliked and
even hated by others. He worked
the daily papers persistently and
tina name OF Bentley was played up
gloriously In their columns. Those
of culture. education and versed in

his severest critics. His stunts In

birds are coming to grief. It was
not so many weeks ago that sheriff
Magie's sleuths got the goods on
Ellis Walsh, at Buyck, between the
sermilion Dam and Harding. Now
as further feat. Bill Randolph
was caught June Is. at Harding
with q gallon jug OF moonshine
whisky.
Randolph claimed that the whisky
came from Canada and that he go1
1t for his own use. Despite that
touching story, Capt. Jasmer es-
corted Big Bill to the formerly
bibulous burg of Bull. where Judge
E. C. Foss holds court.
Colonel Randolph must have fell
very guilty down deep In his heart,
despite his alibi as told to Capt.
Jasmer. When he.came face to face
with Judge Foss, he pleaded guilty
to maintaining q nuisance.
''It is the sentence Of this court
that you pay fine Of $100 and
COSTS" said the court.
That's too stiff fine. your
honor" pleaded Randolph. He put
up quite a spiel to get lighter
punishment. Judge Foss finally said
quite CURLY:
eff you are not satisfied with
the fine, I will give you the 80
days in jail"
Colonel Randolph then went down
into his jeans, pulled out his weasel
skin and handed over $500 to the
Bull court.
Randolph keeps arstopping place
at Harding. Many years ago, he
hunted caribou sandI cruised timber

were rumors of booze being toted
to and from the Casino cottage.
Strange men and women also came
and went. Screams OF maudlin
pleasure. madness and even fright
were heard more than once. Com
plants by nearly residents helped
some, but 1t was quite time be-
fore the Casino couple faded from
the scene on historic Park Point.
Although the house has not been

into the alley back Of the bagnio.
Madam May and the female menu

the back steps, climbed into the
speedy car and were whirled away
to safety in Bingoland.
Later, John Kaluza had the gall
to apply for hotel license for the

missioners had read about that un-

Three Hurt In
| Auto Accident
Marion C.. Cook, of Ameri-
Gus, Perhaps Fatally
Injured
CAR RUNS INTO A DITCH

AMERICUS, Ga, June 49,
Marion c. Cook was perhaps
fatally hurt in an automobile ac-
cident at Smithville, near here,
this afternoon, and Jesse Faust
badly injured. Lawrence Ply
siOc, an Americas lad riding with
Cook and Faust, escaped serious
injury.
The party were going south
on the Dixie Highway, when at
a point just south of Smithville
the car was smashed, running
into a ditch.
The accident, it is believed was
due to Faust, an inexperienced
driver, putting his foot upon the
gas lever in mistake for a brake.
Cook who was brought here for
surgical attention, former lived
in Augusta, but moved here
from that city several months
ago, and has since been employed
as an automobile salesman here.
He probably will die. Faust is a
a prosperous farmer and Physioc
is an Americas school boy.

Streets Improved

The streets of our city present
a most worked improvement this
week. Since the water and
sewerage system has been ccm-
pleted and all bitches refilled,
the streets were full of shallow
holes and many ridges. How
ever under the personal super
vision and untiring efforts of
street committeeman r. K. Howe
the streets have been thoroughly
scraped and are in first class
shape again.

Bill Requiring Vehicles
Full Stop for
R r. Crossings

Plans for the introduction Of a
bill in Congress requiring all
motor vehicles to come to a full
stop before crossing railroad
tracks at public crossings haYe
been discussed by train service
men and officials OF various roads,
insurance companies and promi-
nent citizens of Atlanta with
Congressman w. D. Upshaw at
a meeting.
Such a bill, with the purpose
of reducing the loss Of lives and
personal injuries as the result of
the failure of drivers to be care
full in crossing railroad tracks
would be a great help in fighting
our accident toll, said Congress
man UpshaW. The recklessness
of automobile drivers is increas-
ing as is shown by the accident
records Of 1922, in which it is
stated that approximately 1900
people were killed and 5000 were
injured in the United states at
railroad crossings, which was a
substantial increase over the ac-
cidents of 1921"

Three different Grand Juries

authorities in this direction has

ALBANY, Ca, June 49,
Directors of the Georgia Peanut
Growers Cooperative Association
will meet in Albany next Mon
day to apply for charter of
incorporation for the new CO.
operative marketing organiza-
ton. This will be the final step
of permanent organization Of
Go op,, which is expected to be
a big influence in better prices
for peanuts.
Ballots went to all members in
the original terrotory last week
and they will be returned to the
election managers this week. A
vote to be counted must be in the
hands of the election committee
by Thursday night, as this COM
mittee meets Friday to CONSOLE
date the vote and declare the re-
suits. There will be one directory
each from the ten districts in the
original territory, besides the
office of Public Director to which
the Governor has already ap-
pointed Colonel Robert E. l..
Spence, executive chairman of
the original organization. New
districts will be laid out in other
parts of the state when the cam
paign now being waged there is
completed, and each of these
districts will have a director.
Work of signing contacts in
the upstate counties is moving
along rapidly, and by fall that
part Of Georgia may have as
many acres under contract as the
original territory now has. One
Middle Georgia county, in fact,
has taken the leadership of acres
signed away from Mitchell and
Early counties, the banner South
Georgia counties. Jasper county
is now the leader of the state,
having more than 1000 acres
under contract, while Mitchell
has $500 and Early $500.
Other middle Georgia counties
that are signing rapidly are Put
nam, Baldwin. Morgan, Greene
and Oglethorpe In addition to
these, there are several South
Georgia counties that were not
in the original twenty-five that
are coming into the association
enthusiastically. These include
Lowndes, Wilcox, Pulaski,
Bleckley, Laurens and others.
Fully IS or 40 counties will be
organized before fall.
