PUT On BOND
ISSUE WORK
Thomson Names One Body to
Work Up Support and An
other to Determine Need.

Councilman A. D. Thomson, chair
man Of the committee of fifteen in
tigatine the feasibility of a gen
eral bond issue, has apportioned the
preliminary work between two sub
committees. Upon the report Of these
subcommittee the recommendations
Of the whole committee will hinge.
Alderman John S. Gambler is chair
man Of the submittee appointed to
investigate the need of a bond issue,
the other members being Alderman L
N. Ragsdale and Councilman A. r.
Colcord. Councilman W. G. Hum
phrey heads the second, subcommit-
tee, which is charged with ascertain
ing what support the bond issue
would receive. The associate mem
bers are Councilman OrvilIe H. Hall
and Alderman J. H. Harwell
Judge Gambler was one Of the origi-
nal advocates Of the proposition. He
also is leading a fight to induce the
incoming Legislature to submit a con-
stiutional amendment permitting all
municipalities to issued bonds upon a
twothirds vote OF the people voting
IN the bond election. At present two
thirds Of the voters registered at the
last preceding registration must vote
in favor Of the issue. Judge Gambler
says 1t is next to impossible to get
two-thirds Of the registered voters tn
the polls on any day eXCent a national
election
The hard work in connection with
the bond issue will be done by Coun-
Gilman w. G. Humphreys committee
which might be called a campaign
committee. Chairman Thomson, Of
the whole committee, said Tuesday it
was necessary to gain the support of
the Mayor, the newspapers and Ger
tain civic organizations before any
bond issue would have the slightest
chance Of adoption. 1t is up to Mr.
Humphrey and his committee either
to get this support, or report their
difficulties to the whole committee.
The support investigating commit
tee is what is known as a Woodward
committee. Mr.. Humphrey is chair
man Of the Finance Committee. Mr.
Hall is chairman Of the Streets and
Sidewalks Committee and Mr. Har-
well head the Sewers and Drains
Committee. The Mayor appointed
them all Thev have not always
worked in harmony with him. but it
is generally believed they cain gan
his support for the bond issue. The
whole bond committee, however, IS
hopeful Of the Mayors support from
the beginning No dates have been
set for meetings Of the sub commit
tees

Despite the fact that she has been

SLEUTHS PROBING
GEORGIA LYNCHING

AMERICUS, June 24-Detectives
are investigating the lynching of viii
Redding, the negro who shot Chief of
Police w. c. Barrow. Saturday night
This became manifest to-day as the
detectives were especially busy col
Iecting data. Inquiry here affords no
information as to who sent the de-
tectives to the city. They were not
brought here by local authorities.
Judge Il. A. Littlejohn, of the sum
ter Superior Court, will return from
Columbus tonight. He said when he
left for Columbus upon his return he
would have a thorough investigation
Of the Iynching made. If the evil
dence is sufficient Judge Littlejohn
said he would call a special session OF
the Grand Jury at once to deal with
the lynchers.
A strong public sentiment against
the lynching has developed. At first
this was not so generally manifest,
but since the passing Of resolutions
by all Of the churches on Sunday con-
demning the lynching the sentiment
has crystallized almost in unanimous
fashion in favor of a session Of the
Grand Jury to investigate the matter.
On account of. the fact that the
lynchers wore no masks and were en-
tirely open in their procedure, an in
vestigation of the affair by the Grand
Jury would likely lead to sensational
developments. Practically everyone
in the mob is known here, if those
who know will give evidence.
Though he is still in a critical con-
dition. Chief Barrow is resting as well
as could be expected, according to the
statement issued to-day by his ply
sician A favorable symptom is the
freedom from fever and the fact that
the patient has great will power and
nerve control, which may save his
life in spite of his advanced age. He
is 20 years old.
