to the interest of the offending pur-
chaser, it would be aiding violation
of the prohibition law. Bootleggers
could always buy car 'on time and
thus run risk Of very small losses.
This, it is stated here, is indeed a
very dangerous law from the car
owners point of view, but, as point
ed out, 1t should emphasize the need
of being careful.
Don't lend your cars to irrespon-
sible persons and be sure it is lock-
ed when you leave it on the street."
say prohibition officers. "The num-
Der of losses from thefts of cars,
added to the number of wrecked
cars resulting from irresistible joy
riding, should have taught careful
ness long ago. Owners have learn
ed, indeed, that if they wish to keep
their cars they must be constantly on
guard. The ruling of the Supreme
court admits another hazard to the
owner and every possible precaution
should be taken against it."

MOTHER BRUTALLY
BEATS CHILD

BROOKLYN-Herbert Gill, TO- col
ored, of 1520h Leland avenue, Far
Rockaway, who, according to officials
of the Queens Borough Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children,
has more than so bruises on his body,
represents, they say, the worst case of
child beating they have ever known.
The boys mother, Josephine Gill,
is said to have admitted to Supt. Rob-
ert w. Hebberd and Agent Warren
Mason, of the society, who investi-
gated the case, that she beat her son
because he is bad" One of the rea-
sons they say she gave is that he
plays marbles on the sidewalk
The boy was arrested several days
ago for being dlsorderly on a streer
car and was taken in the custody ol
the Children's Society. On examina-
ting him a physician found his body
swollen and covered with cuts and
bruises, some of which. were still
fresh and bleeding. He told Mr.. Heb
berd that his mother frequently beat
him. She removed his clothing. he
said, tied his hands and feet with
ropes, threw him on a bed and beat
him with switches and straps.
According to Mr.. Hebberd the
mother defends herself by saying she
beat her son in order to "chastise"
him. The lad was remanded in care

In his prelude. Governor Dorsey
says:
""ln some counties the Negro is being
driven out as though he was a wild
beast. In others he is being held as
a slave. In others, no Negroes re,
main. No effort has been made to col
lect the cases cited. If such an effort
were made / believe the number could
be multiplied.

in the usual crime against white
women involved.

these charges should continue both
God and man would justly condemn
Georgia more severely than God ant
man have condemned Belgium and
Leopold for the Congo atrocities
But worse than that the condemnation
would be the continued federation Of
such cruelties in Georgia.
The investigation and the sugges
ton or remedy should come from
Georgians and not from outsiders
Among the cases mentioned by the
Governor are:
Case 127-A poor white family, the
father suffering from tuberculosis,
lived near the Negroes. The Negroes
helped the whites. Two girls we're
in the white home. 1t was charged
that the Negro who was helping them
was going to their home for immoral
purposes. The Negro was lured from
his home at night and shot to death.
Case No. 129-A doctor called,
found a Negro with his brain laid
bare by the blunt end of an AK. The
doctor informed the mans employer,

erous other such messages are re-

Pitiful Appeal.
Probably the most pitiful appeal
that has yet reached the Governor was
contained in the following letter from
