PROBE LYNCHING

COLUMBUS, GA. Aug Flaw
abiding citizens OF Columbus and Mus

mands for an immediate and thorough
investigation by the grand jury of the

when a sixteen -year-old negro youth
was taken from officers in the court
house, hurried to the outskirts Of tine
city and there shot to death The
grand jury meets tomorrow, when the

The negro, Tom Cotton. alias T T.
McElhenny, had just been convicted

white boy, six miles north of the city,
on Sunday, June 80
Yesterday the court room was
crowded with relatives and friends
arraigned for trial in superior courc
All went well until after the jury had
returned verdict of guilty, Judge
Price Gilbert had pronounced the three
years sentence, court had been adj
iourned and officers had started to re-
turn the prisoner to jail
As Railiffs r. l.. Willis and J. T.
Darby started out of the court room,
relatives and friends OF the Land fam
lily crowded around the officers. with
drawn revolvers. and demanded the
custody of the prisoner. The officers
refused. Then the mob forcibly took
the negro from them.
Reaching the street with the pris-
oner, eighteen members Of the mob
held up a passing street car put the
negro aboard and forced the motorman
to speed to the outskirts Of the city. At
Wynton switch the negro was taken
from the car to q nearby field where
he was riddled with bullets His body
was left lying in a ditch.
A coroner's jury was impaneled last

LABOR CONTRACT
LAW IS HELD VALID
Supreme Court Draws DistinC-
ton Between Georgia's Bill
and That of Alabama.

Drawing q wide distinction between
the Alabama law recently held uncon-
stitutional by the United States SUI
preme court and the Georgia law, the
state supreme court today declared
constitutional Georgias labor contract
statute, sometimes called the peonage
law.
The courts decision was made in the
case Of Tim Wilson, a Leesburg negro
convicted of misdemeanor for violation
of the contract law. The case was GER
tilted to the supreme court by the court
of appeals.
While general phases of the Georgia
statutes have been submitted to court
test before. today's decision is the first
handed down by the high court on the
constitutionality question since the
United States court knocked out the
Alabama statutes in the famous Bailey
peonage cases, as a violation of the
thi' teenth amendment to the Federal
constitution.
First Ruling on Entire Law.
The Georgia contract labor law
passed in the interests of planters in
1905 makes it misdemeanor for a la
borer to refuse to carry out contract
to perform work for which money or
goods of value has been advanced. I'm
der the Georgia construction, it must
be shown that the laborer deliberately
intended to defraud his employer by
accepting contract wages.
Georgia Law Not Affected.
Justice Atkinson in writing an opin-
ion in which all justices concurred
carefully drew a distinction between
! intimating that the Federal court de-
cision did not affect the soundness OF
the Georgia law.
According to the Bailey decision. the
| Alabama law made the refusal to work
out a labor contract prima facie evil
dence of criminal intent and allowed
the employer making contract with a
laborer to receive one half of the fine
imposed in the event of conviction for
misdemeanor as provided by the law.
In discussing the working Of the
! Georgia law Justice Atkinson saws:
In order to constitute criminal in
! tent, which is the basis of the law. sat
isfactory proof of the contract must be
shown, the procuring of money thereon
or other things of value. the failure to
perform the services contracted for, OF
failure to return the money advanced
without good and sufficient
cause"

parents Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ernst,
live at 92l French street, this city.
was killed on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad near Martinshurg. W. Va.
on August 81 The young man left
his home here last spring and went
to Philadelphia where Il was said he
he was married.
The body was cut In two and hor-
ribly mangled and there was nothing
In the mans effects to give the West
Virginia authorities an inkling as to
who he was. The body was not
claimed and was inferred there az tho
expense OF the county.
Two men who we're with Ernst
when he was killed recalled that he
said his home was in Philadeiphi and
when they returned TO Philadelphia
they looked up the mans home They
found young woman who said she
was Ernsts wife and she sail he left
home in June. since which time she
heard nothing from him
Word was then received by Ernst's
family here and his mother and I'M
dertaker Kilmer went to Martinsburg
aud identified the remains. Toe body
was in such state Of decomposition,
however. that they concluded to let the
bOdy lie In the cemetery there.

missed FIVE coaches which we're jam
med before Clayton was reached The
aisles we're crowded and every avail
able inch of space was occupied by

There was a general wall against

BEWARE! TAKE CARE!
FRIDAY, 18TH, NEAR

Though the skeptical and scofiing
highbrows Of a materialistic age may
laugh and ieer at the average citizen
for his prudence. the fact remains
that the average citizen is going TO
spend some part of his time between
now and midnight looking for some
charm that will overcome the hoodoo
OF the day.
Friday ia the 18th, September is
admittedly an unlucky month and
the sum Of the integers OF 1911

enough for trepidation. let scoffers
scoff as they will.
With four evil influences 20 over

problem before him-a problem
which even the Inquiry Department
Of THE JOURNAL Is unable TO solve.

this combination Of malign circum-
stances the lady in charge there in
sisted that there was only one tails
man that was absolutely effective In

cast on the coming Friday.
