Not a Reactionary
Among US

The time has come when the sal
walton of the country demands the de-
struction of the leaders of a debauched
party and the restoration to place and
power of men Of high ideals who will
wage unceasing war against corrup-
ton in politics, who will enforce the
law against both rich and poor and who
will treat guilt as personal and punish
it accordingly.
Victory will be ours if we but do our
duty this year
What is our duty9 To think alike
a $ to men and measures? Impossible.
even for our great party. There is not
a reactionary among us. All Demo-
Gratis are progressives. But it is in
evitably human that we shall not agree
that in a single highway is found the
only road to progress or each make
the same man OF all our worthy candi-
dates his first choice
1T is possible, however, and it Is
our duty to put aside all selishness, to
consent cheerfuly that the majority
shall speak for each of us and to march
out of this convention shoulder TO
shoulder. intonng the praises of our
chosen leader-and that will be his due.
Whichever Of the honorable and able
men now claiming our attention be
chosen"

There was lively dissent and the

Sheriff Starts Race
To Cordele Jail.

The sheriff bundled the slayer into
his touring car and. with the crowd in
full chase, started on the road to the
Jail at Hawkinsville. The sheriff knew
that the enraged citizens would never
permit the negress to escape lynching
if they could overtake her, so he
planned a ruse and instead of hurrylng
on to Hawkinsville with his prisoner
he swerved into the Cordele road and
made all speed to that town.
Within ten minutes after the sheriff
left Pinehurst, the crowd was in pur-
suit. half dozen of the residents
who knew of the crime brought forth
their automobiles. They were instantly
filled with angry men armed with guns
and pistols and they started full speed
in chase of the negress. When the
road swerves off to Cordele the leading
chauffeur saw the tracks of the sher-
ifs automobile, and turned to follow
them.
Just a few minutes after the Bark
dale woman had been put into the Cor
dele Jail the pursuers rushed UP in d
great cloud of dust. They demanded
the woman of The sheriff and were
about TO storm he Jail when they learn
cd that the negress had ben spirited
away to an empty house about 500
Yards away. Upon this house they de-
scended more than so strong and
though the sheriff and his few deputies
resisted stoutly for a moment, they
were too greatly outnumbered to hold
the negress against the mob
Some of the mob would have lynch
ed her then and there. but Others who
had known Mrs. Jordan, planned a more
graphic vengeance They put the cring-
ing woman aboard one of the six auto
mobiles and began the sixteen mile
run back to the scene of the crime. The
other automobiles, with the rest of the
crowd followed swiftly and silently
straight through Vienna and on to
Pinehurst. When they reached Pine
hurst. the, drove direct to the negro
quarters Of the town. They stopped
the automobiles, lifted the negress from
the leading machine and carried her
beneath tree at the roadside. One
of the crowd threw the free end of q
ed it and q second later the SLAYER was
dangling ten feet above the ground
Hardly word was spoken. Then pis-
tolls We're drawn. two volleys rang our
and the negress' body was rddled with
bullets
The crowd dispersed quietly. leaving
the body of the Barkdale woman ewing
ing from the tree.
Mrs. Jordan will be buried this aft
ernoon Friends from all this section
OF Georgia are coming to Pinehurst to
attend her funeral, for she was one of
the best-loved women OF the neigh
borhocd. Before marriage she was Miss

citizens of Cordele, Vienna and Pine-
hurst.
Great crowds attended the sitting OF
the jury and saw the shot-riddled body
of the negress cut from the tree. after
it had swung from a limb for more
than ten hours.
Sheriff Bennett has made no arrests

Sympathy Is Entirely
With the Lynchers.

The Barkdale negress killed Mrs.
Jordan without the slightest reason.
Mrs. Jordan, wife of wealthy planta-
ton owner, had reproved the negress
for failure to do some work about the
house Without word the negress
sprung upon her, stabbed her in the
back three time and then, as her mis-
tress lay Upon the floor already dying,
the woman cut her throat so terribly
that the head was nearly severed from
the body.
Neighbors ran to the scene in time
to catch the negress as she was leaving
the house A glance showed them the
terrible crime that had been committed
and they fell upon the negress and were
on the eve of carrying her to a. tree
when Sheriff Bennett who had been
notified of the killing. arrived from
Vienna in an automobile in time to save
her life

PLEASING FEATURES IN
THIS NEW APARTMENT

A new and artistic apartment house
has been erected In Clinton avenue, near
Belmont avenue, by John II. Dunn &
Sons, of the Firemen's building. The
design is unique n was created by Ed
ward Dunn, after an intimate study of
French style. while a resident In Paris.
The exterior Is of limestone, with a
symmetrical proportion Of copper, an
other striking feature being the stone
frieze across the upper part. The entire
frieze Is emblematic of ancient art and
life. Terra Gotta tile surmounts the front
part of the building. Eight apartments
are provided, in addition to one for the
janitor's use. The eight apartments are
notable by reason of their dissimilarity,
each having been treated from a separate
standpoint architecturally. The decora-
lions and finish in each of the suites H.
lustrate different periods in the worlds
architecture a fine effect has been OBJ
tanned eXteriorly by placing the building
twenty feet back of the sidewalk line,
permitting space for handsome parterres.

WEEQUAH|C TRACT
MAKES BIG GAINS
Houses There Are Valued at
from $500 Each Up
to $4,000.
IMPROVEMENT BEGUN
ONLY SEVEN YEARS AGO
Clinton Park South, with Lots
Selling Rapidly, Really Part
of the Section.

The great development of the Wee
onahic section of the city has been the
subject of much comment in the local
real estate field. The Improvement of
this section began seven years ago. when
a tract of It's acres, then used for farm
land. was opened for building purposes.
In the last few years three additional
tracts, aggregating sixty acres, have
been added to the original property.
The number OF houses erected and the
valuations of these houses and land speak
louder than any words could as to the
desirability Of this comparatively new ad-
ditlon to the city's residential section.
The dwellings erected are all of an at
s~ractlve and substantial type and stand
out well in their attractive and beautiful
surroundings. The tract known as Wee
quahie is divided into sections, one being
devoted to. one-story houses n another
TO two.story houses.
There are on the Weequahic tract $50
houses, valued at from $500 to 5000 0
each. In some cases property values have
increased in the last few years 100 per
cent. and in exceptional cases as much
as go per cent.
Clinton Park South is in reality n part
Of the Weequahic section, and although
of later origin 1t has shown the same
signs of progress as its older neighbor.
Land which sold for as low as $1,000 per
acre now is selling at double that price.
no H. t.,triuoI 7QA hpildinu lots in tbta
tract 1926 have been sold.
The reasons why the Weequahic section
Is becoming one of the highest clnss resi-
Dental sections of the city are manifest
from a visit to the property and an in-
spection, of the many advantages of liv-
ing a spot rich in natuie.
A local real estate dealer says he be-
lieves $500 invested in Clinton Park South
will in ten years, represent from $500
to $1,000. No dwellings costing less than
1900 can be erected. and lone of more
than two families. This will add greatly
to social conditions and max the prop
erty more desirable than ever.
The new station Of the Lehigh Valley
railroad which will be built In this de-
velopment will do for weequahic Park
what the Pennsylvania railroad did for
Market street and the new Park place
station is doing for property in that sec
tion. Its convenience to the centre of
the city is n reason why many of New
ark's prominent business men are making
their homes there. Weequahic Park, of
fering boating, tennis. concerts INF many
other privileges, is a big factor in the
success of the development.
illustrative of the rapid growth" says
Frank J. Book, owner of a large tract
in the Weequahic Park development, is
the fact that we have erected more than
sixty houses since January l."
