Middle Ga Argus
Two Negroes Sent up

Frank Hightower was tried before the county court last week on the charge of 
stealing a set of buggy harness from Mr. J. H. McKibben during Christmas.  When 
first brought before the court he waived a preliminary trial and demanded 
indictment by the grand jury, but after lying in jail for several days he 
notified the court that if he could be heard he would plead guilty.  He was 
accordingly tried before judge Carmichael and sentenced to twelve months in the 
chain gang.

Lem Carr another colored youth of only twelve summers was brought before Judge 
Carmichael, charged with stealing a gold watch from a dwelling in Flovilla.  He 
also pleaded guilty and was sent up for six months.
