HOW LYNCHERS
ENTERED JAIL

Sylvester Ga. Jan. o1.-Six Negroes
were taken from the Jail here last night
by lvnchlng party. They were be-
ing held as suspects in connection with
the killing of Sheriff Moreland of Lee
county. a seventh Negro, James Keith,
against whom the authorities believe
they have the strongest evidence, was
removed from the Jail in time.
Last night several men drove up to
the Jail in an automobile. They had
with them a Negro bound hand and
foot, whom they announced to the
jailer they had captured and thought
it best to bring him here for safe keep
ing. They were allowed to enter and
then they bounced on the jailer and
took his keys.
Within few minutes several more
automobiles appeared. 1t took only
a few minutes for the party to get the
six Negroes. hurry them out to the
cars and start north toward Hasser,
Terrell county, where Sheriff More
land is buried.

A method Of laying" raw wines and
spirits by electricity has been perfect
ed by Professor Charles Henry, of the
University Of Paris (the Sorbonne),
and it is already being successfully
used in some of the Burgundy wine
districts. The process is said to i'm
part to liquors the same properties
which they acquire by being kept for
a number Of years in cellars. The
spirit or wine is placed in special
receptacle fitted with two tubes called
burgers" and the tubes are charged
with high tension electricity at from
$4,000 to 10000 volts. The result is
that all the bacteria, ferments and
impurities collect in the tubes and are
removed and all further fermentation
is stopped. The process is very rapid,
and the cost is less than cents to
each 100 gallons. Similar experiments
are now being made with beer and es-
sential oils.

The Won PAPEN
DOCUMENTS Are .
TO Be PUBLISHED
Overseas News Agency Takes
up Vigorous Defence of
Former Attache

Berlin. Jan. 21.-tBy Wireless TO
Sayville>.-Another statement in de-
fence of Captain Franz Won Papen,
former German military attache at
Washington was made today by the
Overseas News Agency as follows:
"A wireless despatch from England
says that the letters, checks and vouch-
ers which were taken from Captain Won
Papen by the British at Falmouth, in
violation of international law are to
he published 1t is to be hoped that
they will be reproduced in fac smile
because it will then be evident that
Captain Won Papen never made a pay
ment to Werner Horn, who is accused
of having attempted to blow up a Cam
adam railway bridge.
But in case the British publish any,
thing of this kind. it may be asserted
in advance that it will be a forgery
1T is interesting to note that in the
British wireless reports the accusation
that Captain Won Papen was connected
with any plots to blow up ammunition
works in the United States apparently
has been dropped The case of Horn
is singled out.
at is solemnly stated in the British
wireless dispatches that the letters and
other documents taken from Captain
Won Papen were seized because they
were personal belongings which were
not protected by the safe conduct guar
anteed to him. If this is really the
British idea everybody in Germany
will regret that it was not known be-
fore. for in that case the archives Of
the British embassy might have been
seized after the beginning of the war.
No doubt they would have brought 20
light interesting information concern
ing the policy carried on for years
against Germany.

IS POUNDS OF :. BLOOD Il

Is the average quantity In healthy
adult, but it is the quality Of the blood
that determines our strength to resist
sickness. With weak blood we find
cold hands and chilly feet; ia children
an aversion to study, and in adults
rheumatic tendencies.
In changing seasons get abundant
fresh air and take a spoonful Of SCOTS
Emulsion after meals, because SCOTS
Emulsion is a rich blood-food that will
increase both quantity and quality of
the blood while it warns the body and
helps carry off the impurities.
F.. When multitudes of people are to-
day taking SCOTS Emulsion to avert
winter sickness, and are giving it to
their children, it is careless to neglect
its benefits. Look out for substitutes.
