Dear Sir:-I read, with regret.
your editorial in issue of June Is
headed "Georgia's Hero Governor.
He probably is a hero in the eyes
of the Jews who have boosted that
no Jew should hang for the murder
Of a Gentle, and that even il Frank
did kill her she was only a factory
girl.
10 those of us who are freeborn
white justice-loving Americans, Six.
tons act does not look very heroic.
u IS an active mem,er OF the law
firm of "Rosser, Slaton and PhlliDps',
who with Reuben Arnold defended
Leo Frank in the trial for his life in
July. 1915.
So far as his act was suicidal you
are mistaken. He died last August
and they held his funeral down at
-->,-oI! 1t the State Convention
when Tom Hardwick was nominated
United States Senator.
Nobody was "clamoring for the
blood of the unfortunate man." as
you say. but most everybody ear
nestly hoped that the sentence of
the courts of the land and of the
prison commission of Georgia would
be carried out and a guilty soul
sent to explain that horrible murder
to tribunal in the sky.
The grass grows and the daisies
bloom over the grave OF little in
nocent Georgia girl. Down at Mil
lidgeville black hearted william is
too indisposed to work and is only
able to read and write letters.
By his act laton appointed a
judge who will preside at many a
trial in Georgia in the years to come.
His name is Judge Lynch.
While Slaton crawls on his belly
in the slime in the depths to which
he has sunk, and while the people
of Georgia are trying to forget his
name and rid their rostrils of this
stencil, ask you to read the article
on the front page Of The Jeffer-
sonian," which I am mailing you
under separate cover today.
have a lot of friends in Jackson
county. Twenty Of the best years
of my life were spent there. | wish
to say to those friends that | am
one citizen of Georgia who does not
see anything heroic in Stations
treachery.
Hoping you have space for this,

Respectfully,

How to Prevent Group.

Every effort should be made to
prevent the attacks by giving the
child light supper and plenty of
fresh air at all times. The child
Should be- warmly clad when out of
doors. Especially the feet should be
well protected and under no circum-
stances should the child be allowed
to remain with wet or cold feet. Then
watch for the first symptom, hoarse-
ness, and give Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy at once and the attack may
be warded off. This remedy is fav-
orite with the mothers Of croupy
children and can always be depended
upon. It is pleasant and safe to take.
Obtainable everywhere. adv

VIVA rs HAPPENED
TO THE AMERICAN
SCH MI ENDLET0N?
CUSTOMS AUTHORITIES, AND
ALSO OFFICIALS OF THE DE-
PARTMENT OF JUSTICE, ARE
TRYING TO SOLVE PROBLEM.

What has happened 10 the Ameri-
can schooner M. Pendleton, which was
some two months ago reported to be
on the way to Florida port, and pos
sibly would have come into the port
of Pensacola? In fact it was thought
that the schooner, not having been
reported at Mayport, was trying to
reach Pensacola, from the Barbados.
There are two different depart
ments of the United States govern
ment trying to solve the problem. The
custom house, which Is under the
treasury department, and the United
States marshal, who is under the de-
partment of justice, either or both,
would welcome any enlightenment as
to the location or fate of the vessel
named.
The above referred to anxiety
about the schooner named is all on
account of report, which was re-
ceived in the United States, and which
stated that an American had been
murdered aboard after the vessel
had left the Azores islands, and or
ders were issued that the vessel be
boarded as soon as she is reported al
any port in the United States, with
a view to taking into custody the re-
puted murderers of the American
The vessel was expected several
weeks ago at some Florida port, but
as yet is not located, hence the fact
that officials of the two departments
are on the lookout for the Mark Pen
dleton.

London, Oct 26-The Germans have rccaptured the important posi- ton on their Ie Mesnil salient known as "La Courtine," which was taken by the French yesterday, according to an official statement received here tonight by radio from Berlin

The fighting. this communique adds, has been held to a limited area. The midnight com munique says that there is nothing to add to the afternoon report.
 Paris claims the capture of q Ger man trench northeast of Masseges. enabling the French troops to extend their positions in that sector. North of Souchez, the French attacked With hand grenades, but, according to Berlin, they were repulsed.

ARkADELPhIA PAIR
 HELD AS RESULT
 DEATH OF WOMAN
Edward Dixon's Wife Dies, and He and Mrs. Claud
 Buck Are Suspected.

Philadelphia, Get. 26.-Edward Dxi- on, 21, carpenter, and Mrs. Claud Buck a young married woman, were arrested here today, the officers say, as the result of suspicious circum- stances attending the death of Dix on's wife on October 1. No formal charges have been preferred against either. Mrs. Buck and her husband are separated.
 According to the sheriff, who made the arrest, Dixon and Mrs. Buck were sweethearts before their mar riages. The sheriff says he has in tercepted letters that passed between the two, before the death of Mrs. Dixon, and that these letters justify him in arresting the couple. Mrs. Dixon's body has been exhumed and the organs sent to Little Rock and Memphis for chemical analysis. Mrs. Dixon was sick only a few days prior to her death, and it is alleged that a dose of medicine given her resulted in rather sudden collapse.
 With Mrs. Buck in her cell in the county jail is her young child. Nelth- CT Dixon nor Mrs. Buck have had bad past, and the news of the arrests, closely withheld until today, was a surprise.
