NO DEVELOPMENTS IN
THE RIVER TRAGEDY

Zebulon, May 28.-Fhere were no
developments today in the double kill
ing near Molena Monday, when Rad
Jones and John Melton were shot to
death while in small boat on the
Flint river. Sheriff Slade is contin-
uing his investigation but has found
nothing so far on which to take ac-
ton.
According to information received
here today. relatives of the two MEM
killed Monday propose to institute a
thorough search for the party or par.
ties responsible for the deaths of their
loved ones. 1t IS probable a reward
will be offered but so far no action
along this line has been taken by the
county authorities.
Residents of the Molena section are
as greatly puzzled as ever. over the
killings and are at a loss to explain
what possible grievance could have
caused the 'homicides, it was stated
by parties returning from there today.

MlsTREATlNe OURSELVES

1t is quite senseless to burn negro
churches and school houses as APP
pears was the case in Putnam county
few nights ago. The General Educa-
ton board in New York has just given
1910 ,000 to negro schools in the south
some of them in Georgia. That fund
is part ours. The Southern Methodists
are raising millions in the Centenary
Fund with the express purposes of
giving large portion of it to the ne
gro schools and churches.
When the negro is taught how to
keep out of the courts and the jails,
he is not all the burden on society
that he would seem. Racial anita
gomism is never the result of a
proper attitude. 1t is always a mis-
take. And it is doubtly wrong to help
provide the money with which the
negro establishes his schools and
churches and them permit the outlaw
whites to destroy them with fire.
All this is unfair to ourselves.

On deer hunt near the Hogback
mountain in Colorado our camp was
literally supplied with honey and
lamb meat. One evening | ate about
five pounds of honey and three
pounds of lamb burgoo. This is very
good for Indigestion. If you do not be-
lieve it, try it. That night Tom and |
were deep down in our blankets in
the snow with our overcoats over our
heads and the coat arms used for
breathing. Outside the wind was high
the air was cold and so clear: Above

A COSTLY INDUSTRY

Large farm operators all over south
Georgia are paying tremendous
price for the tiger still. Tax payers
wherever moonshine stills are operat-
ed are paying freighful public cost
in court trials and Jail and chaingang
expenditures. 1t is not often we come
face to face with the full meaning of
this infraction of the law.
During the present week we have
seen more than ten OF the leading
farmers of our community tied up in
court trying to save their negro farm
tenants from the laws heavy hand.
We have seen more than a score of
the other good farmers give a full
week to performing the jury duty re-
CURED in the trials. We have seen
fully fifty of these farm hands. here
wasting their time from the crops
that need them now 50 badly. The
whole week is total loss to them
You who saw it, did you stop to think
of the frightful cost to the farms?
Nine out of ten OF The crimes be-
fore the court, and there had been
| three murder trials. were directly
traceable to the unhappy effect of
/ tiger liquor All the murders followed
drunken orgies The Jail expenses,
the trial expenses, the loss of time
for the people who have to attend
court on the juries, all have to be
figure as the price we pay for ne
gro tiger stills.
All the larger farmers complain of
them, but yet have no means of check
ing them. They demoralize the farm
labor,They make the Negroes life unsa e
among his fellows. They add greatly
TO petty infractions of the law and
help to break down the negro's own
respect for himself

When the year is rounded out it is
hardly likely that anything but good
word will be heard about the session.
The parent who wants christian
education,f for his boy, also wantshim to
get his advanced learning in an air
of progressiveness and modern
method. DR.. Weaver and his associat-
es have been presenting a daily sche-
dule that had work for the men and
that work is being done so that it
adds up a mighty strong column to
the man who tries it. 1t has been
year of great activity and Mercer has
done great good in spite of the war.
1t was fortunate thing that DR..
Weaver and his associates on the IA
Guilty could so readily divert the
forces at the institution for war pur-
poses when every fighting unit count
ed for victory. Mercer had splendid
war credit this year along with the
other good things that have been ac-
complished.
Now plans are practically finished
for the new school of christianity.
This inst something new just for the
sake of having something new. 1t is a
necessity and its greatest purpose is
to save the young minister a year at
