mob violence )cannot live where the
community does not countenance it. >"
A summary of the report follows:
Instead of six victims of the mobs
which ranged over Brooks and Lown-
des Counties from May II to May 22,
eleven authenticated cases were dis
covered during an investigation of the
circumstances surrounding the killing
of Hampton Smith, a white farmer of
Brooks County, Georgia, and the
wounding of his wife near Barney,
Georgia, on May 16, and of the lynch
ings which followed. Press dispatches
at the time named viii Head, Will
Thompson, Hayes Turner, Mary Tur-
ner, his wife; Eugene Rice and Sid
ney Johnson; the latter of whom had
stated before he was captured to sew
eral persons interviewed that he alone
was implicated in the affair and that
the five who had previously been
lynched (the five already named)
were not involved in it. Five addi-
tional victims were found, Chime Ri
ley, Simon Schuman and three uni
dentifled Negroes whose bodies were
taken from the Little River just below
Quitman, Georgia, about a week after
they had been lynched. Negroes of
the neighborhood told the investigator
that there were eighteen victims but
no more than eleven could be anthem
ticated.
More than 500 Negroes have left
the region since the outbreak, so that
a number of Negroes who were said
by acquaintance to have mysterious
ly disappeared could not be located
nor their whereabouts ascertained
and are not included in the investiga-
tors findings. Hundreds of acres of
once productive lands are now over
run with weeds and dozens of farm
houses and cabins deserted by their
former occupants, despite the threats

The association says that Mr..
Whites findings were submitted to
Governor Dorsey at the latter's re-
quest on July 10 and that a copy was
mailed the President for his informa-
ton a few days ago.
In making public the results of the
Assistant Secretary's Investigations
into the South Georgia lynchings, Mr..
Shillady, the Secretary, said that the
Association was gratified beyond
measure at the recent magnificent
announcement of President Wilson
in condemnation of the mob spirit and
lynching.
THE Association appreciates" said
Mr.. Shillady, 'as perhaps no other or
ganization in the country can, the full
meaning of the danger which Presi-
dent Wilson seeks to avoid when he
calls upon the governors of all the
states, the law officers of every com
munity, and above all, the men and
women of every community in the
United States . . = to make an end
of this ~disgraceful evil
The lynching of Negroes" said Mr.
Shillady, had become so much 6
habit in certain sections of our coun
try that the Presidents prestige was
needed to give impetus to the move
ment to overcome it. Governor Dor
sey, who in his message to the Geor
gia Legislature on July 8 denounced
mob violence in strong terms, and the
State of Georgia are now challenged
to measure up the President Wilson's
great appeal. In n memorable sen
tence President Wilson has put il
squarely up to each community. Al
