North Georgia practically is free OF
negroes as the result of determined
crusade with the torch and the gun fol-
lowing assaults on white women in
Forsyth. Farmers and mountaineers
combined after the attacks to drive out
the blacks after lynching two Of them
and burning Jail fences in order to see
two more hanged while three compan-
les of militia stood on guard. Homes
and churches of negroes in four coun-
ties were burned and the blacks left
the section in droves. Attempts to re-
turn when the excitement had appar-
emily died out were met with armed
threats, and the whole northern part
of the State has fewer negroes today
than at any time in its history.

Favor Incineration Plant.


Of the District Commissioners to locate a
garbage ir1cinerating plant at Occoquan,
Va. Among other propositions which the
association left in the hands of the dele
gate to the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations, to be voted on at the next meet
ing, were an increase in the police force
and indeterninate Workhouse sentences;
an appropriation from Congress OF $5O,-
coo to be expended by the District Com
missioners for entertaining visiting con-
ventions: opposition to changing the Dis
trict code giving authority to Juries to
change verdicts, and regulation for auto
mobiles in passing street cars which have
stopped to let off or take on passengers.
After discussing these various matters
W. G. Platt expressed the belief that the
association was stepping outside OF its
bounds when 1t attempted to pass on such
matters and urged the mem -ers to confine
their efforts to interests in the immediate
vicinity of Takoma Park. He thought
there was a lack of home pride and that
the association would be benefited II 1t
could instill enough pride in Its members
and property owners to ciean up their
lawns and improve their front yards by
beautifying them and let matters per-
taining to Occoquan and affairs in Tar
remote sections alone, and get right down
to hard work there in Takoma Park.

railroad committee, reported that the

permanent waiting station, were matters
which would have to be referred to the

FALL FROM LEDGE KILLS

Philip Henry Slips in Trying
Feat Against Which He
Had Been Warned.

Percy Henry of Louisville, KY, is on
his way to this city to get the body Of
his seventeen-year-old son. Philip Henry.
freshman at Georgetown University, who
fell last night from a ledge at the fourth
floor of the Healey building at the unit
versity and was killed almost Instantly.
His neck was broken and both legs and
one arm fractured.
! Coroner Nevitt viewed the body at the
Georgetown I'm versity Hospital last
night held an informal inquest and gave
"a certificate of accidental death. Rob-
ept Schenk and Thomas Farley, student
companions of the Louisville freshman,
told about finding the dying boy on the
pavement about fifty feet below the ledge
from which he fell.
None Of the students witnessed the ac-
cident, but the statements OF the two
companions made 1t clear to the coroner
just how it probably happened 1t ap-
pears that young Henry received a
Thanksg wing box from home and some
of the boys had jokingly relieved 1t of
part of it's contents and probably had
hidden what they had taken.
Young Henry did not object to sharing
his good things with the other bdys, but
he felt that it would be a good joke to
enter their rooms and recover what they
had taken from him. At the dinner table
last evening he told his companions what
d he was going to do, leaving the table
ahead of the other students.
Farley, and Schenk tod him it would
be dangerous to attempt to cross the
ledge. But Henry replied that others
had done it and he saw no reason why he
could not do 1t.
Ten minutes after Henry left the table
| his companions finished dinner and start
ed to their rooms. On the footyay in
| front of the Healey building Schenk
found the dying form of his companion
When the hospital was reached the
1 nh aY iyppf ho in
hewitt shortly after the accident hap
pened. He concluded that death had re.
suited from an accidental fall and gave
| n certificate accordingly. a message WAS
sent to tho Henry family in Louisville

sage was received saying that the father
was ON his way here.
