The firet round lasted about five minutes, when Holland exclaimed that he was tired. The men then rested a few minutes and again went together. The gecond round was rather long drawn cut, and hoth men were hleeding pro. fusely when their seconds stopped the conflict Holland went to his buggy, secured gn avtomatic pistol, and, facing Thomas, fired one shot. Timmons fell in the road, Holland advanced until he reached the prostrate form of hia victim, and then, in rapid succession, fired four more bullets in his body, death resulting instantly With the one cartridge remaining in his pistol, Holland vommanded the two wit resses of the tragedy to carry Tim mong’ body home.

Re cently I had an excavating contract side by side with a piece of work the county was doing. The county’s work and my work were exactly the same-excavating dirt and hauling it away. The county had 28 convicts at work with the pick and shovel Figuring their food, clothes and housing at 37 1-2 cents per day per man—which is a very low estimate—they cost $10.50 per day. Figure two guards and a foreman at a combined cost of $5.00 per day. Figure $4.00 per day to cover the cost of powder used in blasting to loosen the dirt. This makes a total cost of $19.50 per day to put the dirt on the wagons. There were eight wagons on the job, and one of them was idle all the time because of wasted time in loading. Now read on the other side of this page what it cost me, as a private contractor, to put dirt on my wagons with my steam shovel. LATEST LNE‘A{ S .

I am a candidate for County Commissioner. ECONOMY, EFFICIENCY, HUMANE TREATMENT, MODERN METHODS— These are the main planks in my platform. Some of my opponents and their friends have circulated rumors that if elected I will vote for certain men for super intendent of the public works department of the county. I take this occasion to say I will never vote for Mr. Shelby Smith for this position. With due respect to Mr. Smith, he is not an expert in road build ing, and I would no more, as a County Commissioner, vote for a non-expert man for this posi tion than I would, as an individ ual, engage a non-expert to give me medical attention. In fairness to the voters, and with due respect to Captain T. J. Donaldson, I say that I will never vote for him for this po gition either. My reason is that Captain Donaldson permitted conditions to exist in the convict camps of Fulton County that were very wrong. Further, Cap tain Donaldson is not abreast of ‘the times in the matter of mod ‘ern machinery, his attitude be ing outspoken and well known. I pledge the people, if I am ‘elected, to turn the light of pub licity on county affairs; to stop ‘waste and increase efficiency; iand to see that the convicts are treated like human beings.

My ste costs me $2.00 per day for fuel and oil. Interest an cla tion on the shovel amount to $1.20 per day. My engineer and fireman together cost me $6.80 per day, and they are all the men I need to keep the work going. This makes my total operating cost $10.50 per day. But I had nine wagons on my job, against the county’s eight, and not a single one of my teams lost a step because of time wasted in loading, which makes it a comparison of nine wagons against seven. Thus, reducing the cost of my operation to cover the difference between the dirt I put on my wagons and the dirt the county put on its wagons. I figure my cost down to $B.OO per day. My cost $B.OO, the county’s cost $19.50. I say, Mr. Taxpayer, the County Public Works De partment ought to use steam shovels and put the convicts to lay ing pavement instead of shoveling dirt.
