ANOTHER WORD ABOUT APRIL II

Worms at what has been called the
birth moment Of civil and religious
liberty, and uttered his unshakaAle
words: aHere 1 stand. cannot do
otherwise. God help me. Amen.
For the Federal Council Of the
Churches Of Christ, Pres. Robert E..
Speer suggests that throughout the
churches we should recognize on Sun
day, April II, the anniversary of the
Diet of Worms and the significance of
it's lessons for our own day. The two
paragraphs following are taken from

rHE WIIIIAMs PEoNAGE CASE.

Z
In reference to the peonage murders
in Georgia which have attracted nation
vide attention., the New York Times
has the following to say e.litcrially in
it's issue of April II:
Newton county, in which John ).
Williams. a planter, has been found
guilty of the murder Of q Negro held In
&c onase, is little more than an hour s
ride by automobile from Atlanta, and
Jasper, the adjoining county. where the
defendant lived, is about thirty miles
north of Macon. That part of central
Georgia should be a prosperous cotton
growing country in normal times, with
good schools, police protection, and
courts where Negroes, however ignorant
and simple, might have their wrongs in
CURED into. But it has been established
that eleven plantation workers employed
at one time or another on the Williams
place were beaten to death, shot or
drowned.
Williams was indicted in Newton
county Jointly with his Negro oyerseer,
Clyde Manning, because Allen s Bridge,
from which some of the bodies of the
poor wretches were cast into Yellow riv-
er, deep and swift at that point is in
Newton county The details of the muir
der of the Negroes Peterson and Pres
ton, whose hands were tied with wire,
their necks bound with trace chains to
weighted gunny sacks, were revolving in
the extreme. a worse story has not been
told of the horrors of peonage in Yucca
tan. No wonder Jasper and Newton con-
tended for the credit of putting the de-
PENDANTS on trial first. Their communi-
ties may not be suspected of indiffer-
enee to state of debt slavery that bru-
talized the whites who were responsible
for it, but a healthy and active public
opinion that insisted upon fair play for
the Negroes and humane treatment for
them would have abolished peonage long
ago. 1t seems that only constant vigi-
lance by the Federal Department of
Justice confines the postwar slavery of
plantation Negroes to sore spots where
social conditions are less advanced, to
quote from the report Of an investiga-
tor.
What should be. determined is how
many of these sore spots there are
in the Cotton States. United States
attorney Hooper Alexander said in

ERRATTC CONDITION
In COTTON GOODS
Higher Prices Are Inevitable as the
Active Trading Was Based on
12-Cent Cotton.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1o-Cotton goods
markets have been much unsettled by
the erratic cotton market and many
lines Of goods are off the market until
cotton values are steadier. Higher
prices on all cotton goods are newt
able as the active trading this year
was predicated upon cotton at IL or
~ cents, while manufacturers now say
they must pay around 20 cents.
The certainty of higher values has
aroused interest on the part Of buyers
for large organizations that need
goods but have not bought because Of
poor general business conditions. Cot
ton duck, tire duck, drills, and some
other lines that were dun have been
advanced in price and more sales are
being made. Print cloths are half
cent a yard higher while many sheet
branded trade marked lines of sheets,
pillow cases, bleached muslins, per-
Gales and many other cottons are yet
to be revised on the higher levels
In the meantime, nominal quotations
dIS4 given OUT anu only spot E0OUS are
being sold. Manufacturers have not
been able to buy spot cotton on the
levels quoted in speculative centers
and have thus been unable to make
firm prices on goods to be made. There
is much questioning among merchants
and jobbers as to their ability to sell
as freely as they have been doing after
ings are up from lie to 1-2c The
prices are advanced and only a test
of the situation following stability in
cotton will relieve the market tension.
Yarns are very firm on the higher
levels, and many knit goods prices are
being revised upward.
Prices current are as follows:
Print cloths 2S-inch 64x64's s Lee;
64x6O's 6 1-4c; SO IL inch 64x64s,

FLORIDA CRAB Is
MATCH FOR CEMENT
Stons Grab Common to Florida Wa
ters Is Found to Be Able to
crumble Concrete.

ST. PETERSBURG Fla, Sept. r.
Concrete heretofore has been regarded
as a match for everything but steel
tools and high explosives. but it has
been discovered that the stone crab.
common to Florida waters, digs into
and brushes 1t as so much chalk. The
tool the crab uses is his hardened
claws, the claws regarded SO highly as
a table delicacy after a heavy hammer
has been brought into play to crush
them to permit extraction Of the flesh.
Engineers for many years have
sought an economical method Of pro-
tecting piling driven in salt water
from worms and other scourges which
cut them IN two and believed they had
solved the problem by sheating them
with concrete, but the stone crab has
shown them their mistake.
The discovery was made only re-
Gently. Contractors engaged in sheat-
ing the piling of a bridge across BOce
Ceiga Bay near here were mystified
at the appearance Of holes and cracks
in the concrete piling near the chan
mel. An investigation failed to disclose
the cause Of the trouble but the prob
lem was solved by George Lizotte, 10
cal authority on crabs. who upon
learning Of the difficulty declared
stone crabs We're responsible. A fur
Their investigation developed that the
channel contained thousands Of the
crabs and that they were tearing holes
in the concrete to make homes for
themselves the species fnhabftatinn

The contractor has decided to sheath
the piling in and near the channel with

FEATHERWECHT TO

at Cleveland For First Defence

/ CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 1o.-When
Johnny Kilbane, worlds featherweignt

Dunn field, here, on the afternoon OF
Sept. IL, to face Danny Frush. of Bal
timore, in a 12-round bout to a deci-
sion, it will be the first time he has de-
Tended his title since he knocked out
George CLANCY at Cedar Point, o..
Sept. 4, 1915.

amount ever guaranteed boxer be-
How the heavyweight rank, and very
few heavyweights have received that
much for championship match. Frush
is to receive $2.5oO-his training ex-
penses.
Kilbane was 80 years old last April.
Despite this supposed handicap, he IS
confident he will retain his title.
Frush is %, or about year younger
than Kilbane was when he wrested the
championship from Abe AtteIl, on
February %, 1912. at Vernon, Cal.
Although Kilbane's title has not been
at stake for five years, he has fought
any number OF no-decision bouts
Frush is regarded here as his fore
most opponent. He has defeated some
or the best in the featherweight divi-
sion, and has a far better knockout
record than Kilbane. In his list are
several who went the limit with the
champion. One of these is Artie Root,
of Cleveland, who came dangerously
near winning the featherweight cham
pionship in bout here year ago, when
he landed punch on Kilbane's chin,
only the ropes saving Johnny. Frush
has knocked out Root twice. while the
latter stuck ten roui DIS with the title
holder.
Kilbane has the advantage over
Frush in reach, his being about three
inches longer than the challengerss He
has also about four inches the batta.

is about an inch taller, and is quite
