Baxley, Ga June Within one
hour after being placed on trial here
today for the rape of Mrs. Vicey Edg-
erton, the negro Will Ables was con
victed and sentenced to be hanged
Phe hanging will be in Appling
County on June 80, the earliest date
the law allows after sentence is pass.
ed Many peoRIs believe the charge
delivered by Judge Benet to tbe
grand jury saved this county the
stain Of lynching
Judge Gsge receotly uade ruling
as to the pay Of witnesses that seems to
be entirely s:ong He rules that
state witnesses in cases 10 billed or nol
pressed shall receive DO pay, although
the authority of the court vas used 20
compel their attendance, because the
Law is that ouly material witnesses
sball be paid. We do Dot believe this
decision to be sound.

COLD DOES NOT KILL MICROBES
Experiments In New York Show That
Disease Germs Survive TcmDcra-
ture of 81. Below Zero.

Carefully conducted experiments,
made in the Laboratories of the New
York department of health. have proved
that no obtainabe degree of cold will
kill microbes.
Ii is only lately that it has been pos
siblc to conduct such exhaustive and
convincing experiments as the ones
that have just been made by DR.. A.
Campbell White and DIR. Parks, for it is
only during the last few months that
it has been possible to secure such an
extreme of cold as 3l2 degrees below
zero. DIR. White makes this statement:
"ln order to test whether extreme
cold would kill poisonous germs or mi
crobes | have, been conducting experi
mcnts, which are, l think, conclusive
AS a result, consider no degree of cold
that can be reached has power to kill
germs. l have kept the germs of ty
phoid fever and diph,heria at a tempera-
turc Of 312 degrees below zero for hours
together. After they thawed they were
as dangerous as ever. The cold to
which these microbes were subjected
was 344 degrees below the point at
which water freezes. This extreme
cold was obtained by the use of liquid
air, in which the germs were placed.
"Another thing which the expert
ments have proved is that oxygen has
no killing effect upon microbes. Liquid
air, as it evaporates. is almost pure
oxygen. The conclusion to be drawn
from these experiments is that cold has
no deterrent effects upon germ dis
eases. We are as much in danger of in
lection brought to these shores in Win
ter as in summer. In addition, it shows
that extreme care should be taken to
ascertain the origin of the ice used in
the household. AS soon us it mclts any
dangerous germs il contains are set free
and are ready for evil
Liquid air, the new wonder, was the
substance which made the experiments
possible. There is only one known
thing which is colder. and that is
| liquid hydrogen, which is said TO have a
tcmperature-or, rather, lack of tenn
peratnre-of 44O degrees below zero.
DIR. White, assisted by Prof. Tipler, is
preparing to manufacture some liquid
hydrogen and will then submit disease
germs to that temperature. He saws
that he feels sure it will not kill the mi
