Before their arrival sixth negro,
Sidney Johnson, who precipitated the
trouble, was killed in battle in Val
dosta with the police. In the battle
three officers were wounded, though
not seriously.
The first negro lynched was Will
Head, who is said to have been with
Sidney johnson when the latter stole
the rifle with which Mr.. Smith was
said to have been killed.
Haynes Turner was lynched the
next day, and Mary Turner, wife of
Haynes, was hanged. William Thorn
son and Eugene Rice subsequently
were killed, and then Sidney John
son, the negro who is said to have
precipitated the affair by firing the
shot that killed Mr.. Smith, was shot
to death by the police.
AS Johnson is the negro who is
said to have killed Mr.. Smith his
death ended the trouble.

BABY TUCCINC AT
MURDERED MOTHER
MOB TOOK NEGRO, WITH rs
CARS FOLLOWING, TO SCENE
AND LYNCHED HIM.

CORDELE, Ga.-At midnight a
mob of four hundred persons storm
ed the Crisp county iail, took Jim
Cobb, d prisoner, and started with
him in an automobile for the scene
of the murder of Mrs. A. L. Simmons,
eight miles from here, where they
hanged him and literally shot the
body to pieces.
There were seventy-fve automo-
biles in the caravan of cars that
trailed behind.
The mob wanted to make sure, it
was learned, that Cobb was the one
wanted in connection with the crime.
For nearly an hour Sheriff Ward
and his deputies pleaded with the mob
to dispense. AS soon as the sheriff
ceased speaking, however, the crowd
stormed the Jail.
Mrs. Simmons body was found in
her home eight miles east of here
late today, she having been beaten
over the head with a club.
Will Gibbs, Is years old, white
boy employed by Simmons, discover
GU Cne DOuy when ne went TO the
house for water. He returned to the
field and notified Simmons. AS the
husband entered the kitchen of their
home he saw the body, and their two
year-old child was on the floor, tug
ging at the clothing of the dead wo-
man.
Stuck Fork in Woman'a Body.
Cobb's crime was said to be one of
the most brutal ever committed in
this section of the state. After at.
lacking his victim the negro appar.
emily killed her with a blow which
crushed her head. The body also had
been stabbed in many places with
two silver table forks. The blood
stained forks were found in the yard
The negro had been paid out OF
the changing by Mr.. Simmons .anC
a negro farmer living nearby about
ten days ago. Yesterday he failed tc
show up for work and later in the af.
ternoon when the men at the Sim.
mons home had gone sout to work
Cobb is said to have returned to the
house, where Mrs. Simmons was alone
with her two-year-old child.

HUGE CONCENTRATION
OF GERMAN TROOPS
MACKENSEN, CONQUERoR OF
SERBIA, APPARENTLY CON-
MANDS AMIENS SECTION.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES
IN FRANCE.-One of the highest
concentrations of troops ever assem-
bled on any battlefield lies today in
side the great bulge in the line which
says down past Arras, Amiens and
Montdidier.
North of this in the salient point
ing toward Hazebrouck is a secon-
Diary concentration, but proportion
ately important, mile for mile. These
are ready to strike.
Facing them are gallant French,
the imperturable British and the van
guard of eager Americans, waiting
for the show to begin.
Apparently there has been a shift
in the German command. The idica-
lions are that Crown Prince Rup-
precht, of Bavaria, now commands
only the fourth and sixth armies
down to near Arras. Mackensen is re-
ported opposite the British right
flank, seemingly sandwiched between
Rupprecht and Crown Prince Fried
rich Wilhelm, of Prussia. All are
plentifully supplied with cannon fod-
der.
There is a total of forty-five divi-
sions (78O,000 mem in the line and
some sixty divisions 100000 men)
in reserve.
The dispatch would indicate that
Mackensen, the conqueror of Serbia
and director of the last big Italian
drive, is in command of the German
armies in the Amiens region, where
American troops are fighting. The
dispatch said this German command
er is reported opposite the British
right flank" which is supposed to
converge with the French near Viii
lers-Bretonneux, just north of the
Somme
