Strange to say most OF the business

The coorcd people support almost
all OF the white business OF the South

Unrivalled Reign OF Terror
Stalks Through Georgia Towns
AS Mobs Burn Everything

MOULTRIE, Ga, June 25-After
a reign of terror lasting three days.
a mob of whites seized John Henry
Williams as he was being escorted to
the courthouse, and burned him at the
stake Saturday. -
Chuches and Lodges in Ashes
The burning of Williams came as
climax to a three-day reign of
terror, during which bands of blood
thirsty whites roamed through this
vicinity, burning churches, homes, and
lodge buildings. In Autreyville, near
here the A. M. E. church was burned
and two lodge buildings. Men and
women were chased through the
streets like rabbits and whipped into

Williams Charged With Murder
The mob rule resulted from the
murder of Lorena Wilkes, 12-year-
old white girl. Williams was charged
with the crime. His innocence or guilt
will never be proven. AS he was
being escorted to the courtroom from
the county Jail for trial he was seized
and taken from the officers by the
mob which had congregated about
the courthouse. He was then carried
to the alleged scene of the crime.
where he was tied to the stump OF a
tree.
Williams is said TO have exhibited
extreme fortitude as he was burned
slowly to death. As the match was
applied to the pile of brush around
him he lighted cigarette and made
but little outcry as the flames envelop-
ed him.
Did Officers Resist Seizure'
1t has not been ascertained whether
the authorities offered any resistance
to the lynchers. No report has been
made of any attempt on the part OF
the sheriff to Illustrate the lynchers, or
to disperse the mob which had con-
gregated around the courthouse when
it was learned that Williams was
about to be taken to trial.

the greatest picture of the decade. Re- plete with interesting characterizations and situations. the story gave MT. Skin ner his greatest starring vehicle on the legitimate stage and the screen version is even better.
 The story of 'Kismet'' placed in the historic old city of Bagdad, calls for settings of unusual magnitude and pie turesqueness While Robertson-Cole did not shoot any of the scenes in Bag dad, the particular locations of the city used in the picturization of the story were literally transplanted to Hollywood. California. The expense incurred in pre- senting perfection of detail was enor- nous, but nothing was stinted, with the result that the. audience goes hand Tn hand with MT. Skinner through real live Turkish atmosphere.

"OFFICER 666" AT ALCAZAR
 FINE COMEDY-M MYSTERY

Officer e66 at the Alcazar is a de- bonair comedy y-mystery written in the typical American don't-care spirit. An other thing about it, also typically Amer ican, is the prevailing kindly atmosphere throughout tho picture.
 It is shown in the fact that even the thief, who might have been portrayed as hopelessly a thief turns right-apout- face in the end and decides to reform after duly shaking hands with the man he has been trying to rob, who has called him a wonder and helped him escape This humorous breadth is the keynote of the action in "Officer 666."

DOUGLAS MILAN AND
 DORIS MAY AT STRAND

The Rookie g Return,' a sequel to ''Twenty-three and a Half Hours Leave, known as one of the greatest comedy hits of the screen, will be the feature a. tha Strand theatre today, Friday and Sattr- day. Douglas MacLean and Doris May. who had the leading roles in the other famous comedy, are starred in this pro duction and they are both said to be u their best with strong supporting cast.
 In 'The Rockies Return," Jimmie Lees aunt ,eaves her entire fortune to him, but the will provides that # hs decides to discharge the servants, each is to receive a bonus of 5000. The nephew is about to let the household staff go and present them with their checks when he learns that they intend to make things uncomfortable for him in order to obtain their release. His figh-- ing blood is aroused and he determines to keep them only in order to prevent them from obtaining the money.
 The ensuing domestic revolt. how he copes with the situation and finally solves the problem, furnishes one of the most entertaining episodes of the picture. 1t is said.
 There is also pleasing romantic thread throughout the story, which results in innumerable entanglements before Doris May, who supports MacLean in the role of Alicia decides to take up the duties of the rookis's permanent housekeeper.

take in hand the matter of establishing 8 hospital or set of hospitals for the Baptist people of the state.
 During this time we have not as body issued any statement, except in our report to the convention at Deca- tuf and in our showing before the board of directors of the convention in two different sessions of this body held recently in Montgomery, though it was with our Knowledge and consent that our former chairman, for the benefit of such Baptist communities as wished to apply for the location of our hospi tai facilities. published and otherwise communicated certain of the acts and resolutions of our body. Nor would we make this statement now except to clarify situation into which our hos pital enterprise has unexpectedly been thrown.
 "As originally appointed the com mission consisted of J. R. Hobbs of Bir- mingham, chairman; H. J. Willingham of Florence. H. R. Moseley of Pineap- pie, w. c. Davis of Jasper, J A. Davi- son of Selma, w R. Seymore of Mont gomery, secretary, and T. H. Frazer of Mobile. Dr. Frazer dying before the commission had got down to work, the vacancy caused by his death was filled by the appointment of C.. A. Stakely of Montgomery, while some other changes came on later
 AMOUNT MISLEADING
 We had not been long on our work before we found ourselves much hanGi- capped by set of facts for which we as body were not responsible. The impression had got abroad that the hospital commission had $250000 to bestow on some place that would be so Ia a to pan cation, and every community apply ing for our hospital favor applied un- der this impression.
 But every statement to this effect was from the beginning misleading The deplorable fact known from the inside was that we had almost no money to work with and could not hope for any money in any great amount for hospital purposes within our five year period.
 "In the appOrtiOnment of the $4,-
 100000 fund we were to get for
 our share only 6-1O per cent
 which would yield us, if we should
 get it all, $2O,SOO a year. or $104,-
 900 for the whole time, but to our
 dismnyv nt the close of the first
 year, extended to September 1,
 1920. we had received only $12,SOO.
 At this rate we would be nt the end
 of the five years almost nowhere
 toward n really great and imposing
 hospital for our people in Alabama. 7 How then did the s250,000 idea arise? From the fact that in the ap- portionment it was allowed that in case there should be an excess over the four millions in Alabama the hospital commission would receive the first s150,000. But nobody in his proper senses believes that there will be an excess. So, in view of the real facts the commission has seen that if we are to have a hospital at all it must come not through us conferring on some place, but on some place comforting it

That the Baptists of Selma met every requirement. of the commission on location of Bap- tist hospital and had won out fairly and honorably over all other cities of the state making bids for the same is embodied in a detailed statement signed by every member of the com mission.

 Dr. Hobbs resignation from the commission, following the failure of Birmin ghamu to secure the hospital and his subsequent actions are com mented on at length.
