Godfrey Probably Fatally F Wounded by M. M. Collins. Davisboro, Ga., August 23.?J. C. | Godfrey, mayor of Davisboro, lies at t j his home here dangerously wounded fi j as a result of a quarrel which follow- c J ed a decision by Godfrey in the may- F j Or S COUrt lO-uay ill a cast; dgdiusi i. I Gordon Collins, a white man. M. M. F : Collins, brother of the defendant in b the case approached the mayor after a court adjourned and began talking s about the case. a Hot words followed and before any 1: one could interfere Collins shot the mayor with a pistol, the ball entering s the right side. Mayor Godfrey fell to p the floor and his condition is regard- h ed as serious, his wound probably be- q ing fatal. Collins escaped and, it is t< said, has not yet been located. n b Race Suicide a Blessing. Once more Dr. Woods Hutchinson s has come to the rescue of our much- ? abused civilization. In September e Woman's Home Companion, he f, points out that not only are all wrong p about the race-suicide problem, but a there isn't any. i! According to Doctor Hutchinson, ^ the whole question is befogged by g misconceptions. He says the question t] is not a new one, but is very old. An t< increasing population is a sign of tj civilization. As for our immediate e forefathers, they can claim no credit a for large families, for they either h gave no thought to the question at h all, or else welcomed children as fu- c ture bread-winners. K "To sum up," he says, "I believe c that the evidence is conclusive that k race suicide, so far as it has yet gone, b has proved an almost unmixed bless- s< ing instead of a curse; that the race v can never again return to the method v of blind and wholesale reproduction without thought of the future. No t< j class or group in the community w I which believes itself worthy to exist e j can of course view with equanimity w any proposal to limit the offspring g of marriage to less than three, or g such number as may be necessary to E secure the survival of that quota to h adult age, so that the second genera- n tion may be at least a trifle more nu- a merous than the first. f< "On the other hand, biologic morality, while deprecating the productirm nf philrirpn whfi arft likftlv to be ' - B born unfit, or become so from lack of proper support and training, glorifies and exalts as both the highest racial duty and the most precious in- tl dividual privilege the bearing of chil- C dren by those who are personally fit d to bear and financially competent to tl rear as will be of value to the State. C There is no achievement better worth ji living for, no more valuable legacy K that can be left to the future, no tl more enduring claim to honorable re- c< membrance, than a family of well- v born, well-reared children. si "At the same time there is a grow- d ing tendency to encourage and pro- p mote in every possible way the mar- e: riage at a reasonably early age of K young people, who are particularly u desirable as future ancestors, to use o a Hibernicism. Some day possibly T we may become sufficiently intelli- d gent to endow this sort of matrimony h with State funds. At all events, an ji intelligent direction of race fertility, s< by selection of parents and rational C limitation of the number of children, a will be the path of future progress." p C( Accounts Must be Approved. ^ According to a notice Dispensary fj Auditor West sent to county dispen- li Mrv hoards thnsp hoards in counties c' making payments for -whiskey or di- 'e viding profits or paying out anything except for strictly current expenses p are liable to get in trouble. These n accounts must first be approved by Mr. West. The notice reads: "Gentlemen: This is to give you ^ notice that under section 2 of an act G of the general assembly, 1909, pro- ^ viding for the closing of the several n dispensaries in tho?e counties voting 0 against sale, that no claims are to be b paid by you until same have been a audited, approved and ordered paid by the State dispensary auditor. This, of course, does not include nor n prevent the payment of the current ^ expenses incident to closing up the ^ business, but does include such items ^ as may be due the? whiskey houses with which you do business, any unpaid profits and amounts that you .. ? *? i? s may owe Dantcs on notes or ior uurrowed money. It is expected that all e county dispensary dispensary boards b will adhere strictly to the provisions a of this act, and any violation of same t] will be reported promptly for the reason that it would in all probabil- s ity give rise to complications and furnish ground for suits and litiga- ^ T tions. P At the meeting of the county r board of canvassers of Aiken Tues- t( day a contest was filed by the antidispensarv people, and the dispen- p saryites then also made a contest b against several boxes which went for v prohibition. The board did not ren- g der a decision. It is likely that _ there will be contests before the State board to-day from a number of a counties. * FEUDISTS FIGHT. CE] 'iercest Battle in County's History Del V.USIS JUlWUi Charlotte, X. C., August 21.?As I he result of one of the fiercest feud r.iOJ ghts in the history of Mecklenburg eve: ounty at Huntersville to-night, silv leece Hucks, a prominent young B. < armer, of Croit, lies dead at St. I iter's hospital; Lester Hucks, a "Tl rother, Charles Cox and Gilreath ass< nd Batte Davis, neighbors and sub- 12 tantial farmers, are seriousiy cut knc nd shot, and several others slight- sar: f wounded. T The fight took place on the main. bril treet of Huntersville in front of the I all ostoffice and was witnessed by a ing irge throng, events transpiring so teri uickly that bystanders could not in- C erfere in time to prevent the car- dan age. For a year there has been bad stot lood between the Hucks brothers the; nd the Coxes growing out of the a P hooting of a dog belonging to Batte Pre! >avis, a friend of the Hucks broth- Dia rs, by Charles Cox. Members and A riends of both families attended the Gue 'armers' institute at Huntersville afld nd Batte Davis and Charles Cox met 1 front of the postoffice and renewed Pre! tie trouble over the dog. Cox was 11101 etting the better of the fight when ren! tie Hucks brothers appeared and in- Ora jrfered. This brought the Cox fac- Ree ion into the row, which became gen- Wig ral. Ed. Cox is said to have done * 11 the shooting, putting three bullets of J lto Reece Hucks, who died a half fr*e our after being transferred to the wer lharlotte hospital, shooting Lester D. 3 tucks in the back and his brother Py lharles, by mistake, in the arm. ^en Inives were freely used by the com- er a atants and blood flowed freely, the stor srvices of all three physicians in the ?* ^ illage being necessary to treat the I] rounded. W. The Hucks brothers were brought a^ d Charlotte and the rest of the t0 * -ounded are being cared for at Hunt- inS rsville. After receiving his death en^ ound Reece Hucks arose from the The round where he had fallen and, 1 rasping a chair, felled his assailant, and Id. Cox, with it, seriously injuring -A,is im.

A froi lelieved That Hucks-Cox-Davis Bat- ^ak( tie Will Cause More Bloodshed. kep Charlotte, N.

Charles Cox was one of the *ect rincipals to the feud fight and fathr of the young man who shot Reece i(*ei [ucks to death. Physicians have been len* nable thus far to staunch the flow *? * f blood from his numerous wounds. *" he coroner's jury held that Ed. Cox ple* id the shooting and Sheriff Wallace eng ent as landed him in the Mecklenburg lil. He has already engaged coun3l, and will plead self-defense. gue harles Cox, Jr., Lester Hucks, Batte ai nd Gilreath Davis, the other princi- rt>1 als to the riot, are expected to reover. Opinion is prevalent to-night hat the trouble is not over. The 0V0' imily connection on both sides is irge and the results of last night's ^ lash are far from satisfactory to , ither side. The funeral of Reece Hucks took Mrs lace to-day at the homestead, seven j liles from Charlotte. ' Re\ Young and Old Paupers Wed. Mis Sandersville, Ga., August 22.?
