Dodging an expected mob in Jesup,
following an attack upon a relatives

two negroes, ole jordan and James
Harvey, were placed in an automo-
bile early Saturday morning and rush-
ed to the Chatham county Jail for
safe-keeping. The sheriff with two
deputies in charge of the prisoners
passed through Brunswick about
three o'clock Saturday morning, en-
route to Savannah, stopping here but
a few minutes for refreshments.
Friday night indications on the
streets of Jesup pointed to an inev-
table outbreak. Men gathered on the
streets and made known their inten-
tions of getting the two negroes away
from the authorities. About midnight
the mob gathered about the jail, but
the sheriff had anticipated this move.
and the prisoners had already been
spirited away. The mob was invited
inside to convince them that the pris-
oners had been removed beyond their
reach.
In the Chatham county jail at Sa-
vannah yesterday the two negroes
were seen by newspaper representa-
tive, and declared their innocence OF
the crime charged to them. I'VE have
committed no crime both negroes
are reported to have declared. I'VE
never saw the woman who identified
us before they stated.

groes. said he had recently worked in
Allenhurst. He told of being identi-
fed by the assaulted victim.

Sl'OR


The girls first team basketball
competed with the boys second team
for honors in a practice game ON
Monday evening. 1t was rousng
game from start to finish and we are
sure no matter what the boys sar.
that their victory was dearly earned.
1t appeared as though the girls were
a trihe rough but we are certain it
was due to excitement and in no way
to the fact that they wished to iniure
the boys by any means Lois Ruth
knocked Myron Nelson over and
there were other similar accidents
but nothing serious The boys were
4 little swift for the girls and kept
them busy Just watching them. but
for swift pcdaling they had nothing
on Julia Biles and Edna Barclay. The
game only lasted for one half but the
girls were not tagged out and were
willing to play longer. The score was
Is to 10 in the boys favor. but nest
time they (the boys) had better wor1

Harps and Harding.

The harp is u beautiful instrument
and the player must be skilled indeed
but there is also another form T
harping in which we are all skilled
more or less. That is, harping ON our
favorito hobby or our favoritc
crouch. We may not notice il but
others do and it either becomes an
noying to them or else ridiculous. You
know a faomus scientist has said that
we are all crazy on a certain subject
so YOU see we do not have to be i
genius to be crazy. But let US forget
our haIping for we do not want to adj
vcrtise the above fact even though

BLACK WALNUT TREES
AS MEMORIALS

Planting Of black-walnut trees as
memorials to soldiers is recommended
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture. 1t is pointed out that
the black walnut played valiant part
IN the World War, The wood was
used for gunstocks and airplanc pro
pellers, and the nutshells contributed
carbon for pas masks, while the ker-
nels were used in many delicacies for
the boys in the trenches. Demand for
the wood for war purposes depleted
the number Of fine old trees, and this
method is suggested for filing their
places.

Leavenworth VS.. Wenatchee

This game was doubtless the best
Of the season. Even though the Wen
atchee team is an old and fast team
it had to go some to win. The home
team put up a good fight and the
score might have been closer, if
well, you know-the girls don't want
to crab, they are good sports. but
therewas some funny stuff pulled OF,
especially in the first half. Never
theless, we believe that Wenatchee
didn't get as much, and as easily, as
they thought they would The home
girls hope to have a closer score next
Friday.
The girls are trying to save enough

One reel of the motion pictures ut
the school Tuesday evening was
called the "Sheep Of Leavenworh. Sc
We do not know whether the person
who gave it that title had keen
sense of humor or not but we at least
hope he was not in earnest. We know
it was very interesting picture Of
the scenes around Leavenworth, but
we are still worrying over the possible
slur which the name gives our "High

puzzle this out but please do not
"blat" it all over town.
