Autreyvillc NEGRO
In Columbus Jail

COLUMBUS, June 16.-John Hen
rv Williams, negro charged with the
murder last Monday of Lorene
Wilkes, 12-year-old white girl, near
Autreyville in Colquitt county, and
who was saved from a mob by Sher-
iff Beard Of that county, who rushed
him from the scene in an automo-
bile, the mob in one hundred cars
trailing him to Cairo, was brought to
Columbus Wednesday and lodged in
the Muscogee county Jail.
The negro, it developed, was carr
ried from Cairo, where the mob was
eluded, to Bainbridge and kept in
Jail there until Tuesday afternoon,
when he was carried to Cuthbert and
lodged in Jail there for short time
before being brought to Columbus.
Williams, who is 3S years old, and
married, denies any knowledge of the
crime, asserting that all he knows of
it is what has been told him.
He declares that he was in the
woods a mile and a half from the
scene Of the murder, dipping gum,
when the sheriff arrested him. He
disclaims any knowledge of any wet
clothes being found in his house, de-
claring that if they were there they
did not belong to him.

Peck was angry at his sons pranks
and would try to punish his son by
good sound lecture or corporal
punishment, Mrs. Peck took up for
her son and she being a mighty
good debater, Mr.. Peck usually had
to fuss it out with Mrs. Peck in
tsead of the boy and Mrs. Peck
usually got the best of the argu-
ment.
The boy knew that he could be
bad and play jokes on people,
swipe things and depend on his
mother to keep him from getting
punished at home by his daddy.
He was a loveable child, frank,
good-natured and bright and the
people liked him very much de-
spite his failings and instead of
being corrected when he swiped
things, as he should he was made
much of and thought to be cunning
and cute. And the boy seeing how
easy it was to be bad when every
body saw all the good in him and
not the bad and be mischievous
and full of fun naturally became a
bad boy just as q king inherits a
throne.

Gets Highest Honors
At Des Moines

DES MONIES, June 16.-The I'M
perial Council, Shriners convention,
decided today to establish hospital
at St. Louis for the crippled children

Alec Temple, of Savannah, with the
band, patrol, chanters and oriental
band of Yaarab Temple dominating
the situation by their numbers and
enthusiasm for the distinguished
Georgian who is now at the head of
the national organization OF Shrln-
ers.
In the electrical parade held last
night the Yaarab organizations were
conspicuous for their splendid ap-
pearance, and they were hailed along

band, featuring Mirzala, the famous
Oriental dancer, made the hit of the
parade.
The day, which was given over to

featured by a concert by Yaarab band

EVERY INDICATION
FOR STABLE BUSINESS.

ATLANTA, June 16.-Every In
dication in the financial world points
to an early return of sound and sta
BILE business conditions, NJ. B, Well
born, governor of the Atlanta Fed
eral Reserve board, told the delegates
of the Financial Advertisers Assoc
citation, here attending the world ad
club convention, when they were en-
tertained at luncheon at the banks
cafe Wednesday by the banks Off
GERS. The affair was very informal.
Mr.. Wellborn expressed approval
of the work Of the Financial Adver-
tising Association in strong terms.
81 like to see the banks advertise
especially our member banks" he
said. Il have noticed that advertis-
ing increases deposits and when de-
posits are increased our reserves are
increased automatically"
Discussing business conditions, Mr..
Wellborn sounded an optimistic note
over the situation.
eve have all been on a financial
JOY ride and we had to stop to mend
puntture. am thankful that
it was not blow out. We have been
mending this puncture pretty fast
and soon we will be on our way
again" was the way he decribed it.
The speaker pointed out several
signs which he said indicated a re-
| turn to stable condition.
'"The fact that Belgium, France
and Brazil recently offered bonds for
sale in America which were readily
bought is a good sign. This shows
that there is a lot of money here
for use in investment. Stagnation
will disappear when prices are stabil-
lied and uncertainty is removed.
When prices become stabilized / look
for an early business revival" he
said.
Mr. Wellborn declared that the
fact that call money has dropped to
1-2 per cent is another good sign.
"This means that there is a sur
plus of money at hand and that loans
are not SO tight" he stated "Busi-
ness is headed for an early revival
ard it won't be long until the sun of
prosperity sheds its effulgent rays
on = prosperous and happy people,"

Labor Asks Senate To
Pass Seaman Probe

DENVER. June 16.-The Amer
lean Federation of Labor today by
resolution called upon the United
States senate to adopt the LaFollette
bill providing for federal investiga-
tion of the nationwide lockout OF
seamen.
The resolution, introduced by the
International Seamen's Union, de-
clared that a combination of Euro
pean and American shipowners, aid
ed bv the United States Shipping
Board, have to this moment been
busy thwarting the American people
in their legitimate desire and pur-
nose to share in overseas commerce
and building for America a sea
power corresponding to the Ameri-
can seaboard."
The convention adopted resolu-
tion calling on congress to investi-
gate conditions in the cotton mills of
the South.

GIRL GETS FALL
Climbs Out Upstairs
Window. But Brush
Saves Life

Betty Wagnon, the eight-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Wag-
non, is resting quietly at her home on
Taylor street after a thrilling SOM
nambulistic experience of Tuesday
night.
The little girl was asleep on the
outdoor porch built on the rear of
the house, second floor, and in the
middle of the night she got up from
her bed, while still asleep and went
to one of the windows and hegal 10
climb out before she wqs awakened
sufficiently to realize her danger
Hanging by her hands to the windog
sill, and fully awake, the frightened
child screamed for help, and before
her mother and grandmother could
reach her, she had fallen from the
ledge to a thickly branched hedge
bush, Just under the window The
impact of the fall was retarded by
the boughs of the shrub, although
the child crashing through them from
distance of 80 feet, broke some Of
the limbs and was hurled to the
ground below. A number of severe
bruises were sustained by the fall
through the bush. DR.. J. T. Stukes
was immediately summoned. He
found Betty was badly frightened and
severely bruised but no broken bones
or dislocations were found. She will
be able to be out in the course of a
few days.
DR.. Stukes says that had the bush
not been an instrument of protec-
tion to the little girl as she fell from
the window, she would probably have
hppn killed
