NEGRO LYNC,HIN(,
NEAR TALBOTTON
Bullet-Riddled Body Is
Found Tied To
Tree

TALBOTTON, Jan. THE au-
thorities Of Talbot county today con-
tinued their investigation Of the mys-
terious lynching Of Sam Williams,
a negro, who was tied to tree on
the Woodland-ThomastoIr ROAD last
night and riddled with bullets.
The negro recently moved from
Talbotton to Meriwether county. No
one was able today to say what
caused the lynching.
A jury empanneled by Coroner
Carter returned q verdict to the eff
feet that Williams "eame to his
death from gunshot wounds al the
hands of unknown party or parties. "
Dr. Carson, however, held that
the negro had been choked to death
by being tightly tied to the tree be-
fore he YVES shot. No arrests have
been made.
County officers who have been in
geatigating the lynching have failed
thus far to find the motive. Appar-
entity the negro had enemies here
and when he returned to this county
they killed him.

SUPREME COURT
HEARS INVESTED
CAPITAL DISPUTE
Called Most Important
Legal Action In
Decade.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Argu.
ments were begun today in the U. s.
Suurremc court in the invested capt.
tai case" characterized by Collector
General Frierson as the "most I'M
portant legal suit from the stand
poin+ of government finances IN
decade"
Whether tt,2 government will be
forced to return hundreds of niillions
of dollars paid in as income taxes
depends ON the outcome.
The immediate cause at issue is
the apneal Of the LaBeiie Iron Works
from the ruling of the internal rev.
enue bureau refusing to allow it to
treat as invested capital the value of
ore lands which it had purchased in
1904 for 100000, and which BY
1917 had increased to $4,000 ,6G6
in value Government agents main
tanned that the increase in reality
was "@rofit." The company added
the increase to its capital invested
and claimed normal deduction of 7
per cent, paying under protest the
additional tax of $1,,0S1,0 ,00c.

Asserts

WASHINGTON, Jan..- 2 7.-The
States will never be literally dry,
Prohibition Commissioner Kramer de
clarcd today, though he expressed the
opinion that prohibition is here to
stay.
Sentiment Throughout the country,
he said, is continually growing
stronger for prohibition, and practi-
cal prohibition will come after the
preaent generation. which is familiar
wsh liquor, is gone, though there
will probably always be some few
who will make intoxicants in their
homes.
New Yorl, and the eastern states,
Kramer asserted, cannot be consid-
cred as rejecting the attitude of the
country at large, and that in general
west of F.ttgburG the country is al

MAYOR STEWART
CALLED FAILURE
BY MAJOR FORT
Dry Officer, Americus
Man, Replies To Sa-
vannahan 5 Liar. -

Major James A. Fort, of Americus,
state prohibition enforcement Off
Ger, with headquarters in Atlanta,
has entered the controversy between
jesse Mercer, field prohibition Of
iicer> well known here, and Mayor
Stewart, of Savannah, Coming to
the defense Of Mercer, Major Fort
has promptly been called an "unmit-
lgated liar" by Mayor Stewart.
However, he has failed to become
ruffled at the epithet of Mayor
Stewart, and Friday, by Telegraph
from Atlanta, in replybto a request
for a statement, wired the following
to the Times-Recorder, declaring
Mayor Stewart a failure in office:
TO handy words with Stewart
would be childish. The only excuse
for noticing his reckless statements
at this time is 10 drawpublic attention
to conditions in Savannah. The may
Oh OF Savannah is by law the head
of the police department of that city
and is specifically given authority to
remove any member Of the police
force for neglect of duty. Therefore,
the failure of the police department
to give the city efficient service it is
entitled to and taxed for is failure
on the part of the mayor
Thursday night Major Fort was
quoted i'll Atlanta as saying;
Il don't think anything is to be
gained by bandying words with
Mayor Stewart. All the government
wants of the chief executive of Sa-
vannah Isl action, that's alA
eve would like him to take a les
son from Atlanta, and show the same
interest in seeing that bootleggers
are kept on the run that is evinccd
by officials here. We are given the
very best of cooperation in the
Capital City. We would like to get
the same treatment in Savannah.
Mayor Stewart has employed his
time, 1t would appear, in conversa,
ton to aid, but seems to have for.
gotten the adagc that the Lord
helps those who help themselves.
We want active help from him; not
the indifference which has greeted
our work so long"
