GIRLS Leg WAS GROUND TO PULP
Ashburn Girl Was Riding On Back
of Motorcycle at the Time
of the Accident

ASHBURN, Ga.--Gladys, the little
12-year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
B. F. Rainey of this county, was seri-
ously injured in motorcycle acct
dent which occurred about five miles
east of Ashburn yesterday morning.
Little Gladys was riding on the
baggage carrier of a seven horse
power machine behind County Farm
Demonstration r. L. Ballard, when
one of her feet became entangled in
the rear wheel and was ground al
most to a pulp before the machine
could be stopped. DR.. Adams of this
place was hurriedly summoned over
the rural phone and reached the bed
side of the sufferer soon after the
deplorable accident occurred. The
father of the girl, who is a minister,
was away from home filing an ap-
pointment when the news of the acct
dent reached him, and stated in a
phone message last night that Gladys
was resting as we'll as could be ex-
pected.

TELLS OF REMARKABLE CEREMONY
Halifax Masonic Lodge Near kins-
ton Has Just Celebrated Its
139th Anniversary.

ATLANTA.-Ge E. Argard,
secretary of the Masons' Annuity,
is telling today of one of the most

in North America The lodge in
which the session was held met in
the oldest Masonic temple in Ameri-
ca, founded in 1875 with much
priced charter from England.
Within the shadow of this ancient
temple lie the remains of Joseph

America, as his jurisdiction covered
all the states.
81 believe it will interest all Ma
sons throughout this section to
know" said Mr.. Argard, that here
in the South we have the oldest lodge
in the whole western hemisphere.
When asked about the Masons
Annuity prospects for the current
year Mr.. Argard declared them to be
the brightest in the organization S
history. The year 1913, he said, was
the most prosperous the order had
ever had. Net assets already amount

$4,000 a month. The Masons' An
nuity is engaged in providing for the
widows and children of deceased
Masons.

ANNOUNCEMENT.
In his formal announcement of his
candidacy for governor, Mr.. Anderson
says:
Savannah, Ca, April Is, 1914.
ITO the People Of Georgia:
81 beg leave to announce myself as
a candidate for the Governorship,
subject to the regulations of the next
general primary.
In asking to be entrusted with what
| consider to be the highest honor in
the gift of our people, l am glad to
feel that my candidacy involves no
factional issues and should arouse no
factiOnal spirit The spirit OF FAC
tionaism has happily about died
away in Georgia, and i'll the state, as
in the nation, we Democrats are lned
up with practically unbroken ranks In
support of the great measures our
party is taking for the common good
am able therefore to come before you
simply as a Georgian and a Democrat,
who aspires to devote his best ener'
gies and talents to the welfare, and
upbuilding ct his native state.
Our material growth during the
past three decades has been so rapid
and so great that in some respects
We have Outgrown the provisions
made by our laws, and in conse-
quence the state and it's institutions
are in some directions being ham
pered and held back. Georgia's great
need today is that her people should
have a period of political rest in
which to have the time and oppor-
tunity to concentrate their attention
and efforts upon thorough over
hauling and readjustment of her bust
ness methods and system. We need
to apply ourselves for a time to put
ting our house and affairs in order

IN THE BLOODY NIGERIA
WHERE HUMAN SACRIFICE AND
BIRD WORSHIP STILL EXIST.
Customs That Came Down From the
Time of the Pharaohs Unchanged.
Offer Human Sacrifices.


Customs and ceremonies which ap-
pear to have come down unchanged
from the time of the Pharaohs have
been discovered by P. Maury Talbot,
a British district commissioner IN
southern Nigeria, who recently COM
pleted a journey of over 1890 miles
through the heart of unknown Atr1-
ca. He also found traces of bird
worship and witnessed bird dance
never before seen by Europeans.
Most of the towns have their sacred
pool inhabited by good or evil splr-
its, to which in the past countess
human victims were sacrificed. Upon
two of these holy waters-the Lake
of Life and the neighboring pool OF
Hatred and Death-Mr. Talbot and
Mr.. Eckin, of the Kwa Ibo mission,
are the first and only existing white
men to have set eyes. Many of the
natives are members of secret socie-
ties, which at certain times of the
year still seek to offer human sac
rifices.
Toward the end of September such
an attempt was made by a group OF
towns in a distant part of the dis
trict never before visited by Euro
peans. Attention was first drawn to
this particular society, which bears
the dreaded name of "Ekko Nav
haw" (Ghosts-the DestrOyers -
by a poor woman, who brought some
fragments of charred bone, which
she asserted was all left to her of an
only brother, who had fallen a vic
tim to the vengeance of one of the
chiefs of the society.
A little later complaints began to
come in from missionaries as to cruel
maltreatment of school children and
other converts peacefully proceeding
on their way to church. Later it was
discovered that little girl years
old was only rescued with great diff
fculty from being offered up, after
the sacreficial dress had been placed
upon her while the great drum was
beaten, and the head priest announc-
ed: "Ekkpo Njawhaw will eat to-
day."
The people, as a whole, are per-
haps the most bloodthirsty of all AT
RIGA For months no day passed
without man or woman running in,
covered with blood and often horri
bly, mutilated, to claim the protection
of the commissioner.

PROHIBITION QUESTION
ALREADY SETTLED.
Some inquiry has been made as to
how far the prohibition question may
be- involved In my candidacy. | wish
to state that it is not involved at all.
Prohibition should no longer be con.
sidered political issue in Georgia. It
has become matter of established
law, and I think most OF the prohib1'
ton leaders now agree that the law is
sufficient and that continued political
agitation Of the subject is no longer
needed, and would be unwise. No sub
stantial demand exists anywhere in
Georgia for its repeal, and it should
be regarded as an issue that is now
settled and behind us.
"If 1 am elected, it will be my duty
to regard and treat the prohibition
law as one of the settled, established
laws Of the state, and in this, as in
all other matters, l will try to dis
charge my duty faithfully, fearlessly
and fully.
