FAIL TO FIND
TRACE OF BODY
Masonic Searching Party Covered Is.
lands Between Here and Canton
But Fall to Find James II.
Ayrcs.
WERE OUT ALL DAY
party Had TWO Boats and Thoroughly
Covered Every Place Where
Body Might Possible Have
Landed.

A search of every island between
Keokuk and Canton has failed to give
any clue to the body of James H.
Ayres, drowned opposite Keokuk two
months ago. With the finding OF the
OF body last week it was felt that
perhaps the Ayres body had been
tossed on to some island by the vag-
aries of the waves, and searching
party of Masons was organized.
The party left yesterday morning at
seven o'clock and returned last night
ct 10:4D o'clock after fruitless
search. Two boats were taken, one
Of them the Mary D. The boats
skirted the islands as close to shore
as possible while the searching parties
covered them from one end to the
other.
The islands visited were Taylor,
Hacknet, Buzzard. Little and Big
Grow. There were all kinds of debris
and bodies of dead horses, pigs and
COWS on the ISLANDS but no trace
whatever of a human body. A long
car was found, but it is not believed
that this belonged to the i'll fat ed
canoe.
It is feared now that the body may
have been caught some place and will
not come to the surface until after the
big boats begin going up and down
stream and churn up the water suf-
fcently to dislodge the object of the
search.
The Masonic party was in charge of
Harry A. Brunat with the following
assistants: e. l.. Williams, Charles
West, H. G. Stebbins, Harry Ayres,
brother of the dead boy, Robert Eber-
sole, c. Farris, A. RAIDER and H. L.

FOOLISH THREATS no BURN.

Several notices containing foolish
threats to burn gin houses have been
given Binncrs in Anderson and OcO-
nee counties if cotton is ginned be-
fore the price reaches 80 cents per
pound. Some OF these anonymous
notices have been posted on gin
houses, some have been mailed to
the ginners. while others have been
mailed to newspapers for publca-
ton, and are signed "Thc Black 75."
The ginners, however. are paying
no attention to these foolish threats
and are going right along ginning
cotton as the farmers desire. Some
are placing armed guards on duty to
protect their plants over night. and
the person who attempts to burn Il
gin house will likely get Il load OF
lead. Moreover, the writer's Of these
letters or notices will get long rest
behind the bars If they persist in
their unlawful course. The Federal
Government has Il most efficient De-
partment OF Justice and it can come
very near ferreting out any conspir-
:Lcy or attempt to deprive any per-
son Of the exercise Of legal rights. 1t
is probable tha! the writer's do not
realize what they are doing, nor the
penalty attached
The great mass OF our people are
deeply interested in securing bet
ter price for cotton, and will do any
thing and everything legitimate to
bring about that end, but they will
not tolerate anarchy or Bolshevism,
and the person who attempts to burn
gin house will, sooner or later. get
his just dues
Very few farmers are prepared to
take care Of their seed cotton on the
farms The proper and sensible
thing to do Is to carry on the orderly
and systematic ginning and storing
Of cotton until a fair price can be
obtained. No farmer has to gin his
cotton unless he deems it best to do
so. We are satisfied that the farmers
and ginners Of Oconee county are
united in their efforts to stamp out
this spirit Of lawlessness, and stern
justice will he meted out to all vio-
lators OF the law.
