Governor Manning of South Caro-
lima is after eight white men held for
lynching a negro who had been arrest
ed for assault and battery, minor
offense. The group were indicted
Thursday and will have to stand trial
There will be more care exercised by
the lynchers if this group has to suf-
fer for it's crime. Guilty or not guilty,
prisoner or culprit, no human beings
l:fe should go by the hands of mob
Men who know what it means to up
hold the dignity of law are never found
heading such mobs.

Guests of the local hotels coming
and going each week say Cordele
needs an enforced anti-muffler ordi-
nance worse than it needs an anti-gas-
slime law for Sunday. Every auto dri-
yer that can lose his muller finds good
past time in making his motor chatter
so that those who are in the hotel
rooms trying to rest from hard days
work get little sleep. That's fair to
the travelling man.--not a bit.

The Montgomery Y. M. c. A. is ths next opponent of the local Y. M. c. A. five. The Capital City five will play the locals on Friday night. The volley ball team of the Montgomery boys will &C., company the basketball team and will meet the local team prior to the basket ball game.
 The locals have six more games on their schedule and Captain Brooks and Coach Hoffer will try and keep the team in tip-top condition for the remaining games the schedule after the fine showing on Monday when they defeated the Columbus Y.

|. s. J. DEFEATED BY 3. A. |. QUINTET BY NARROW MARGIN Locals Play Poor Game. McGOwan, Gillian and
 Pearce Play Best G Game

The Birmingham Athletic club five defeated the Louisiana State univer- sity quintet last night in a game that was completely devoid of any pep by the score of 40 to 30 The visitors gave the locals good scare and at several stages of the game were only few points in the rear.
 The locals played a poor game throughout. They lacked the pep" that has marked the success of their other victories and their all around playing was considerably below par. The To- calls were weak on passing and prac- tica1ly all of their passes were inter- cepted by the Louisiana guards.
 The locals should have won by a big score for the visitors did not of fer serious problem. Their passworll was not above the average but they ex- celled in making long shots for goals. Pearce rang goals from all corners of the lot and during the last 10 minutes of play three goals by him placed his team only points behind the locals.
 The poor work of the locals can be accounted for. Practically every mem- Der of the squad was in poor condi- ton as result of the Atlanta game last Saturday. Seals did not enter the game until the last few minutes of play when she visitors threatened to take the lead. seals wore a noseguard to protect his broken nose as a result of the Atlanta tracas.
 It was demonstrated by last nights game that without the regular five in he lineup the locals lack the pep .Nr q tn in fha nf a crowd. Although fairly large crowd witnessed the game, no enthusiasm was "hown. The game was close through out and surpassed many of the pre- Yious games in furnishing excitement Captain McGowan starred, as usual, for the locals. while Gillam also played . good game. Pearce and S. Willzer- son played the best game for the col icge five. The usual dance followed the game.
