GEORGIA EDITOR
SCORES WILLIAMS
FOR BLACK Crime

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Columbus, Ca, April 21-Comment-
ing on the Williams peonage case, the
following editorial by Thomas w Love-
less appears in the Enquirer-Sun. I'm.
der this caption: Mercy for What?
Loveless writes:
"A Newton county jury mas tried
John S. Williams, the Jasper county
multi-murderer, found him guilty and
recommended him to the mercy of
the court. By what process of reason
ing the jury arrived at this form of
verdict is difficult to imagine. But if
we brush aside all subterfuge and tell
the plain truth about it, the verdict
is not SO difficult to understand. And
this plain truth is-we have not yet
reached that stage of grace, or of
justice in Georgia, where we hang a
white man for killing a nigger," as he
expressed it.
ut is true, of course, that strictly
speaking, Williams was tried in New
ton county for the murder of only
one of the eleven Negroes killed by
him and his chief butcher, Manning
but in reality, he was on trial for all
of these eleven murders, for, if he was
guilty of one, he was guilty of all and
maybe others.
However, the owner and operator
of this Georgia murder farm escapes
with his own life, a penitentiary SEN
tence-and, perhaps, a pardon later
on. Thus do We again advertise Geor-
gia. God help her"

Giants Won Game
at East Lake Park
on Last Sunday

Wizard White had the Tigers ry-
ing their bats behind them a. Cast
lake park Sunday afternoon holding
the east side boys to six scattered
hits and one run and the iants romped
off with a two to one victory in the
best game of baseball ever staged in
the Salt River Valley.
Salazar, pitching for the Tigers, was
touched for IL hits four of them
punched in the fourth inning giving
the Giants the winning score.
The Tigers scored their lone run
in the lucky seventh. With two down
and Orduno on third Pepper hit a
hard grounder to White who fumLled
the ball and threw wild to first, but
Bobo recovered the ball and threw
Pepper out at second Orduno scoring
on Whites wild heave to first. The
Tigers managed to place runners on
bases, but White was too much in the
pinches and the score sheet was kept
blank. Several double plays by the
Tigers saved them from worse de-
feat The Giants worked a double play
that saved two scores.
Salazar used slow ball that fooled
the Giants at times, but the coiored
boys got to him for four hits in the
fourth which was the only time the
Giants appeared real dangerous.
The game was exciting from start
to finish \and kept the crowd in sus-
pense until the last batter was re-
tired
Close to 1000 fans watched the
game. Spencer umpired nice game,
though his judgment seemed off to
some of the fans at times.
Score by innings:
R.. HE.
Giants ...-........... 600 200 O0O-2 12 2
Tigers .............. 600 600 1901 6 4
Batteries: White and Rosser; Sala-
Ear and Scott.
Sundays victory entitled the Giants
to the Riverside park game for next
Sunday. They will meet the White
Sex who were returned victors in the
Mesa game.

Who'll Be the First
TO Heed the Call?

A month or SO ago we sent oui
statements of subscription ac-
counts, and while number were
kind enough to come in and pay
up their subscriptions, there are
still many who have not taken the
bother. Each one, perhaps. thinks
because his bill is only three or
four dollars, that it viii not make
any difference. But, dear reader,
do you realize that we have almost
$1,000 ont on subscriptions, some
of them due years ago? While a
small bill does not mean much in
itself, yet. combined with hundreds
of other small ones, it means "a
great deal to the newspaper man,
and if everybody would make a
special effort to pay bis subscrip-
ton we would be able to get out
far better paper.
"A newspaper man mas 10 1--we.
and the only way he has of making
any money, as a rule, is from
subscriptions, job work, and ad

interested in having a good paper
to assist in these things, it is
getting time they were
So, whether you have had bill
or not, you know if you owe on

What do you say?
