John Henry Williams. a negro, was
burned at the stake. lat Moultrie, Ca,
last Saturday. His crime was criminal
assault and murder: There was no
possible doubt about the negro's guilt.
His victim was a 1s-year- old white girl
named Lorepa Wilkes. She disappear
ed on Monday of last week and Will
lams was arrested shortly after her
disappearance. He confessed his guilt.
He went with the mob to a pond, wad-
ed into the water and showed where he
had concealed the body, which was
then recovered. The negro would have
been lynched at once, but deputy
sheriff got him into an automobile, and
ran with him almost into Florida. La
ter he was put in Jail at Columbus,
from which place he was taken to
Moultrie last Saturday morning. The
evidence was conclusive and the negro
was convicted. He WAS sentenced to
be hanged July s., but a mob took him
from the deputies and carried him
back to the scene Of the crime. Here
he confessed again, saying that he had
seen the little girl pass and had way
laid her. She had begged for her life;
but he killed her to keep her from tell
ing, and weighted the body down in
the water. He said that the devil
made him do It, The mob chained him
to a stump and piled brush about him.
He smoked a cigarette while the flames
were mounting and then began singing,
which he continued until he was Stran-
gled, with the smoke.

Practical Thrift

AN EMINENT WRITER on the
practical, every day affairs Of life
says: mo man has reason to- say he
cannot be thrifty. cannot protect him
self and those who must look to him
for protection. It Is my humble opin-
ion that the life insurance companies
have contributed more sound sense to
the system Of saving and the plan of
procuring protection than all the banks
east and west Of the banks Of the Mis-
sissippi Thrift, as taught by the in
surance companies. preserves a fine
outstanding independence in American
citizenship"
The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
Company Of Newark, N. j., has been
the leader in promoting and teaching
thrift in the United States since 1845,
and the man or woman who fails to in
vestigate it's standing, record for square
dealing and policy contracts will make
serious mistake, and one that will
cause regret later.

CINE of war, the bombing airplane, can

For several weeks the army and
navy air services have been ;!practic-
ing for the tests at the bases near
Norfolk, While navy !. aviators have
been reticent the army fliers have
stated that preliminary tests: convince

bombs can annihilate fleet of surface
battleships as now designed. Should
tests confirm the opinion expressed by
army airmen it will meanrthe. revolu-
tionizing of naval warfare with a

TAX BEER TO
PAY SOLDIERS

Washington, Nov. "A bill to
legalize and place per cent tax
on beer and light wines to defray
the cost of the soldier bonus has been
drafted by Sen Brennan, Republican
of Michigan and will be presented as
soon as the Legion at Kansas City
has acted on the bonus question.
Declaring for the last two years
that revenue which should rightly be
flowing into the Golfers of Uncle Sam
have been collected by bootleggers
and rum runners, MANY students of
the prohibition questions predict
that medicinal beer is only a fore
runner to a return of beverage of
beer and light wine, if so why should
the step not be taken at once and the
revenue applied to paying the sol
dier bonus.
eff so to 20 million barrels OF
beer would be consumed annually a
tax of SIS would be sufficient to fin
ance an adjusted compensation plan. .

Senator Ransdale cited as exam

The Boston and Albany railroad
in its agreement with the Cunard

of certain piers and pledged under
certain conditions reduction of 1-2
freight in car load lots.
"As a result of the operation of
various contracts we'll over million

'The most amazing aspect of the
situation, however, is that the rail
