From Days Gone By April 7, 1922

April 7, 1922.
    The streets of the city have been given some dragging up after a good ploughing and are being put in shape. Rube Dent with a tractor and road machine is at home on a public thoroughfare.
    Judge John T. Ferguson, in the Justice Court, last week after hearing the evidence and arguments in the preliminary trial in which James Price was charged with the death of A. Walden, bound Price over, and he is since been confined in jail without bond. It is understood that bond cannot be assessed by the present Judge of the Superior Court on account of his being disqualified through relation to the prosecutor. Mr. Price has been sick almost all the time since his incarceration but is improving at this time. There are no further developments now in the case and but little is being said about it.
    The Farmers' Co-Operation Association is being pushed on a fast track to complete the organization and aim to be incorporated.
    Messrs. Jim Hall, Mark Duggan, W. M. Shurling, W. A. Sinquefield, B. B. Blount, H. B. Sanders, G. W. Gannon, J. L. Fleming, W. C. Chester, J. T. Davis, R. L. Stephens, T. V. Kent, R. E. Brinson, W. C. Brinson, F. A. Sinquefield, A. F. Flanders, R. P. Hicks are proposing to organize a fishing club for Wrightsville and call it "The Ogeechee Club of Organized Anglers". They aim to charter it, capitalize it at 5 gallons of bait per share, meet every evening at 6, elect a foreman, reporter, appoint cooking committees weekly, skiddoo work from May 1st to Sep 1st, and do any and all other things usual and necessary under like organizations. The period for which the club asks a charter is perpetual. Violaters of the working clause disqualifies membership.
    The Dock Kemp Training School for colored people is to be a big one from the way the promoters of it are going after their school building. They are doing good work on it now and making splendid headway at getting the plant completed. They expect to have the top on this week and will rush on the work, getting it ready for the fall term. W. E. Roberts has been re-elected the head of the school again and has accepted. The white folks are helping them out right on with contribitions and it is believed by the men in charge that they will have enough funds to  finish it as planned.
    Bartow and Wrightsville locked horns on the local diamond here in the first game of the season and Bartow came out the winner by the score of 7 to 2. Wrightsville's team now goes to Bartow for the second game.
    The grocery firm of Parker & Price of Wrightsville have recently opened up a branch grocery in Kite, with Mr. Frank Price in charge. They are making a live store of this new place.
    Cleo Hammock and Jim Jordan have another monster rattler to their credit, killing another large one in about 100 yards of where their last snake battle occured. This one had 12 rattles and they brought it to town to show it. These young men are now the champion rattler killers of the community.
