JASPER COUNTY OPENS RIGID PEONAGE PROBE Indictments Returned Against Three Sons Of Williams. Governor Issues Reward. Evidence Produced Shew More Cases Of Killings. Grand Jury Also Investigating Lynching Of Negro School Teacher. Anglo-Saxon Justice Urged By Judge Park. Governor Says. "Every Man In Georgia Must Stand Equal At Her Bar Of Justice." Must Wipe Out Every Vestige Of The Blot. Covington, Ga., Apr. 12.—One of the most remarkable criminal trials in the history of Georgia has just been concluded with the conviction of the defendant. Eight for Hanging. The division was eight for hang- A jury composed of twelve good representative white citizens of Newton county, seven of them, like the defendant, being tarmers, have convicted a white man on a charge of murders committed under the most inhumane and revolting circumstances. The defendant, John S. Williams was sentenced to the penitentiary for life. Convicted of murdering one Negro, while eleven bodies were found on his farm in Jasper and Newton counties and at least three others were killed and their bodies thrown into a pond. Governor Satisfied. "The result of the trial," said Governor Hugh M. Doisey, "is not on'y what; I had hoped it would be for the sake of justice and the good name of our state. It was also what I had known it would be if the wish of every good citizen could receive effective expression. "Judge Hutche on, Solicitor Brand and the officials and men of Newton county did splendidly what every good Georgian wanted to see done. They gave Williams the fair and impartial trial to which he was entitled. They discarded alike all prejudice and any temptation to be vengeful. In punishing him they have vindicated the law and restated the fact that every man in Georgia must stand equal at her bar of justice. I could lend only my influence to help them. I shall continue to lend it and do everything in my power to see that investigation and action wipe out every vestige of the blot which the Jasper county revelations put upon the state's reputation. "If anywhere," Governor Dorsey ended, "men have been asking what Georgia means to do about such things, this superbly orderly trial," the verdict rendered this morning, and the grand jury probe which begins in Monticello next Monday are an answer Georgia would ask to have considered." Never Considered Acquittal. The jury never considered the possibility of acquitting Williams, it was learned from some of the men who composed it. And from the moment they entered their room for deliberation they promised each other there should be no mistrial through a failure to reach an agreement. "We wrangled and wrangled so long," said one of them to the correspondent, "that I couldn't even guess how many ballots we took. The whole difference was about whether we ought to break his neck." Eight for Hanging. The division was eight for hanging and four for imprisonment on the first ballot, when Judge Hutcheson's charge was redelivered at half past twelve this morning, and when at one o'clock the jury went to bed. It was the same when they took their first ballot at eight o'clock today. And one of the four men who refused to hang Williams was known to his associat s as "the hardest headed man in Newton county," who never in his life had budged from an attitude once taken. So rather than spend more time and more of the people's funds in fruitless discussion the eight compromised with the four. Manning Trial. The time for the trial of Clyde Manning, Williams' principal accuser and self confessed accomplice is uncertain. Public sentiment urges no great delay, and Solicitor Brand stated today that he would try Manning as soon as Judge Hutcheson would give him a court Williams Sons Flee To Mexico Monticello, Ga. Apr. 11—Following the return of a dozen murder indictments against John S. Williams, his three younger sons and Clyde Manning, the Negro whose sensational confession revealed the "murder farm," atrocities, by the Jasper county grand jury this afternoon. Solicitor General Doyle Campbell announced tonight that an investigation will be made into the killing of two other Negroes by other individuals in different parts of the county. One of the first phases of the racial trouble taken up by the grand jury was the lynching of Engene Hamilton, the Negro preacher and school teacher who was a mob victim at Monticello several months ago. "I have proof against a number of men implicated in this lyching," said Solicitor Campbell, in fact I have enough evidence which I can produce to indict six or seven and the true bills will cause a sensation." The Williams boys: Marvin, Huland, and Leroy, have not yet been apprehended. From good reliable sources comes the information that they have escaped to Mexico. Governor Dorsey has offered a reward for their arrest. Harrisburg, Ill. Apr. 12, '21 Metropolis Weekly Gazette: I read an article in the "Baptist Truth" of April 3rd supposed to be written by Dr Olive. Pastor of 19th St. church Cairo, IH. who les himself a regular Baptist preacher, who says he has taken in over 50 Free Will churches without the change in their faith. He also states in his article that those who reject the Free Wills coming in are insane or downright hypocrites. He is wrong, he denies the doctrine of the New Testament and the practice of the Baptists. He denies justification, sanctification, adoption and the perseverance of the Saints, which this doctrine combines itself as one and the whole plan of salvation of man. Without these principles man could not be saved I know the Free Will doctrine from boyhood and know they do not teach this doctrine of the Bible. What difference is there in the doctrine of the Free Will and the Methodists? There is a door by which they may become Baptists, not by the vote of the individual church themselves. The only way they can become Baptists is by a counsel of regular Baptist churches, and take them in as members of the church thru the door of baptism and then organize them into a regular Missionary Baptist church with the faith, practice and doctrine according to the teaching of Jesus Christ of the One Lord, one faith and one baptism. A Free Will Baptist church of itself cannot become a Baptist church without first being organized into a regular Baptist church A regular Missionary Baptist church that goes out into fellowship with them and preachers also who go out cease to be regular Missionary Baptist preachers and have broken relationship with the Baptist because they have denied the faith and practice which is laid down by Hichcock's Directory, page 137, Article 8. It seems the gentleman who wrote the piece in the 'Truth' has denied the Baptist Faith or else he is not a Baptist. If he was he would not deny the practice of Baptists and the tenets of the Baptist church. He is willing to leave the practice of the Apostles and of Jesus Christ. The Bible teaches one Lord, one Faith, and one Baptism. The Bible teaches the perseverance of the Saints. It seems the gentleman has denied these things, by going into fellowship with the methods of Free Will Baptist. He says the practice is alright. Brethren, we had just as well pull up to the line. Let us disrecognize the churches which have gone out and the pastors who have gone out with them, because they cannot be Baptist and be in fellowship with Free Will Baptist. Dr. Philip's Writes. No churches or Ministers have been condemned by the Ministers in this end of the State by neither Board nor Associations. Read the records. Dr. Olive stands self condemned, and he is the only one that was spoken against in the Board meeting held by the Mount Olive Baptist Executive Board held at the Mound with the St John Baptist church last March a year ago. And that was after he invaded the pulpits in a number of churches, and attempted to vote them into the "so called Zion Association. There has not been a pen drawn against another Minister. Eld G W. Faulkner, Missionary of the so called Zion. Attended the East Mt. Olive Association last Aug and said among other things, "I have made a mistake: I have been misinformed about the brethren, I never met a better band of Baptist brethren in my life then suffered Dr Olive to use him as a cat's piw, by having him own words that was spoken in the hearing of the entire Association . The article came to the office in Dr. Olive's hand write. The hand of Esau and voice too. Blind Burglar Caught; Admits Two Robberies Cold Springs Harbor N. Y. A curiously shaped footprint discovered on a sofa, in the home of William T. Lockwood, which was robbed led to the arrest yesterday of George Hawxhurst, the first blind burg'ar the police here have ever heard of. Hawxhurst confessed, the police say, that he also robbed the home of Matthew Curley, in both instances relying upon his senses of touch and hearing to guide him in his operations. His foot comprised a few bottles of grape juice and an alarm clock. After the deputy sheriff observed the peculiarity of the foot print, he sought the village shoe maker, who informed him nobody in Cold Spring Harbor could have left that imprint except Hawxhurst. "But George couldn't commit a burgiaey," the shoemakur said. "He la been stone blind ever since he was born. Somebody leads him with a stick most of the time." The sheriff visited the man and made him walk in the dust. The footpoints were alike and after talking with him a while, the sheriff said the blind man concessed the burglaries. Thirteen Fellowcrafts Raised Last Friday night there were thirteen Fellowcrafts raised to the degree of a Master Mason by the Brookport Lodge no. 63, R. W. Grand Lecturer Bro. E. C. Hamilton of Mounds was present and assisted in conferring of the degrees as did Bro. J. L. Patterson, D. D. G. Master of this city. There were twelve Master masons of Silver Crown Lodge and some from Unionville who took a part in the work. Supper was served about 12:30 a. m. and every one had a delightful time, and all left for home feeling well pleased with the trip. Colored Woman Is Lynche In Mississippi. Found Hanging To Tree. Was Mother-in-Law of Man Lynched on April 4. Jackson, Miss., April 11.—The body of Rachel Moore, colored, was found Saturday night hanging to the limb of a tree in Rank-in county, 15 miles from here. The woman was mother-in-law of Sandy Thompson, who last Monday was lynched for the alleged murder of E. B. Dodson, and the authorities expressed the belief that she was a victim of mob violence.

The churches to carry out their mission, as divinely instituted organizations must not forget the poor and needy. If a church or an individual shuts up the bowels of compassion against the widow orphan and the poor, How dwelleth the love of God in them? is a question to be answered. Every church small or large should collect money every Sunday for which to assist the worthy poor both of its flock and the community. Most churches feels they are exempt from this responsible duty if they only pay their pastor and pay off the debts of their church, but it is a very sad mistake as Jesus has said "The poor you have always as much as to say. You have them as your charge and you are responsible to see that they do not suffer. That church which fails to perform its duty in making the needy feel that they can find a friend when in a penniless condition has fallen short of its missions. The chief duty of a church is to save souls and next in importance is to feed the hungry and clothe the naked, We have some Ministers in the Mt. Olive Baptist Association, who want every one to focus their vision through their narrow lens and if they fail to see things as they do, then they are ready to criticise and denounce them. Such individuals are candidates for some insane asylum. They may never get elected but they are candidates just the same. We view them as dangerous to society and the organization. We know of some Misters who are not satisfied with their high and exalted positions to which they have been placed but seek to either dictate or run every other person's official duty and even dictate to the churches what they should do. We pity such an individual, as he usus ally is short lived. SANDUSKY Will you allow space in your paper for a few items of Sandusky Bapti-t church? We had spiritual services Sunday.

I have had a deal of sickness also death in my family this year; but I promised the Lord through storms arise I would take my cross and follow on. I desire to visit your circles.

General Baptist State Association Read Carefully and Act Quickly. To the Pastors and members of the churches belonging to the General Baptist State Association of Illinois There are only four months until we meet at Evanston Ill., and there is great need of money for Missions and Education. We have not done all we could do no not half. We have been telling the people that we are loyal Baptist and proud of our State Association. Let us stop telling the people with our tongue and from now until the annual session tell them by our work. Can we work? Yes? But will we work? Every pastor and member is asked to join your corresponding secretary in a drive for Christian missions. It you are interested in the advancement of our state association, now is the time to show it. Send me your name and address and I will send you the plan to work for the success of the drive. I assure you it will not interfere with your local church work in any way, but will prove that your church and yourself are really interested in the work. Why not make this the banner year for the General Association. We must not wait for something to turn up for our own success. We can make this drive a big thing if every officer in the state association will at once send in their names and set to work, it is a very hard pull without cooperation, send me your names by return mail and get busy on the job. Yours for success, W. Henry Snowden, Corresponding Secretary, 1900 50/17th St. Springfield, III. Before any Foreign Government can become part of this government they must comply with all the requirements of our constitution. They would first have to take an oath that they would accept the constitution. Before another church or of any denomination could become a part of this church, they must first comply with the constitution of the church before they can be any part of it. This is all for the present, but will have more to say later. Indian Summer. The terms "Indian summer" is applied to a period of mild, open weather that comes in the fall, embracing the most of October and sometimes extending into November, and characterized by a sort of dry mist or hazelnut that differentiates it from other seasons of the year. What causes the distinctive feature of the season, especially the heavy atmosphere, is unknown, and the origin of the term equally so. Differences, explanations have been given of both, but they seem to be largely fanciful. We are Agents for the Dr. Walker's Great Indigestion Cure.

McORARY, Agent, by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure cartarrhã deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhã Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrah Peafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

This comes to say my tours through the Southern parts of the State in the interest of our State work has met with much success, yea beyond my anticipation. The brethren where I have been have met me with open doors, hands and hearts, and the interest that is being manifested for our State Work has been an eye opener to me, since I have been out for our State work.

But listen Brethren, I regret very much that I cannot come to all of my brethren and do justice to my own pastorate, and yet, I must reach you some way before our meeting in Evanston. May next So I am trying to reach you by this letter to say I am asking all of the churches that are affiliating with our State Association to give your humble servant at least a five or ten dollar hearing if I get there in person, and if I cannot get there in person but come thru the mail please give me the same consideration as if I were there in person. I am doing what I can to make our next meeting a financial success. May I have your cooperation? God bless all for everymore. W. P. Washington Administrator's Notice. Eslate of Mary F.

Little Florence climbed upon her father's lap on her birthday and put her arms around his neck. Father always called her "Toodie," and until now she had answered to the name. But now she looked at him in surprise. "Why, I'm three now! I should think you'd call me "Threedien." she said. Common Sense is a Bad Master. In creative thought common sense is a bad master. Its sole criterion for judgment is that new ideas shall look the old ones. In other words, it only acts by suppressing originality. A. N. Whitehead in "An Introduction to Mathematics."

For wage earners, professional peo: ple with moderate Incomes and per sons drawing small salaries as clerks, accountants, ete., savings banks offer the only safe means by which funds may be accumulated to meet emergen- cles or take advantage of opportuni- ues, The Mission of Savings Banks. It fs to encourage thrift and frugal- ity that savings banks are established. In case of uccident, sickness or death In the family, x savings account Is tn- dispensable. ' Also such an account may become available as a first pay- ment on a home or an interest in a business venture which promises to be profitable. For instance: By putting aside $4 cents each day a person can accumu- late $10 each month ; by depositing this amount in a suvings bank monthly, at the end of five years the depositor‘ will bave-aecumulated $647.63, At any time during the five years after $100 or more has been saved the depositor may convert his saving’ into dividend-paying stocks or interest- bearing bonds and thereby double the Interest rate. Not a Permanent Investment. It 15 not intended that savings ac- counts shall be considered as perma- ment investments, There are indus- trial bonds and stocks of approved value always on sale which pay from 6 to 7 per cent. In case of necessity these securities may be used as col- lateral when applying for loans at your bank, or they can be sold outright at any time, as there is always a mar- ket for them. No bonds or stocks should ever be purchased by a man of limited capital who cannot afford to take a chance without asking advice from an experi- enced, trustworthy banker, or an es- tablished, responsible brokerage house. ‘They have a complete record of the history and financial standing of every corporation In the country offering se- curities for sale and they are in @ posi- tion to protect Investors from Blue Sky swindlers. Beware of Irresponsible Stock Sales. men, Too much importance cannot be placed on this fact. Several years ago the federal government issued a state- ment fo the effect that each year more than THREE HUNDRED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS are collected annually in this country by irresponsible opera- tora through the sale of fraudulent stocks, Practicatly all of this money comes out of the pockets of poor peo- ple who ent not afford to lose it. A SERIOUS SITUATION The American People Must Solve Their Housing Problem by Saving. By EDGAR TAYLOR WHEELOCK, (Copyright, 1921, Amarican Proas League.) A news report printed the morning this Is written announces that the sen- ate committee on “reconstruction and production,” of which Senator W. M. Calder of New York is chairman, gives especial attention to the housing prob- lem. The report says the committee regards the sityation as serious and be- lieves “effective measures for relief must be taken at once, and that al: rendy the henith and morals of per sons living in large centers are affect- ed,” How We Met Serious Situations. Do you remember how “serious situ- ations” were met during the war? Beigium and northera France were invaded by hostile armies and the peo- ple of those territories were in danger of starvation. Great. Britain, France and Ikaly niust have food, Then came our own entry into the war and money must be raised to send &n army across the ocean 3,000 miles ; to arm, feed and clothe that army and keep It supplied with munitions. Sure- ly, there were serious situations a- plenty then, An appeal was sent out to the Amer. tean people to save—and they saved. In other countries citizens were put on food rations; In this country the say- ing was voluntary, With the excep- tion of sugar and sour Americans could buy all they wanted and enough of those articles was permitted to meet “all reasonable requirements. Now Comes the Housing Problem, And Americans fed the world for years; Americans furnished money to raise; arm and equfp an army of more than three million men and send them across the water; America loaned the allies something like ten billions of dol- Jars. ‘Now comes a housing problem that is also pronounced ‘serious and con- gress is considering taking steps to find a solution, . Same Old Solution—Save. ‘The American people must attend to the Job themselves, ‘They must save, ‘as they did during the war period, and build homes. ‘They must organize by conimunities for this purpose. It is not laws that are required, but foundations, walls and roots—houses, Laws did not feed the allies and win the war. It was the savings of the people that did It, ‘There are ways in which individuals may use thelr savings in buying homes; any banker will furnish tnfor- mation as to how this can be done; all that 1s required {s.a steady occupation and a will to save.
