Yet even there issues have cleared
obstructive influences have been
identified and successive elections
brought relief.
One such council in Ohio played
politics two terms. but the town saw
exactly what was going on and at
the third election a discriminating

harmonious, live council and a new

There is no magic IN this plan
Of government that will prevent the
people from eleoting the wrong men.
The plans compels them to make
their mistakes in broad daylight.
and the chance TO go astray under
those conditions is the irreducible
hazard of democracy.
Almost always they have chosen
better men than have hitherto been

By Associated 2 ess

by Associated L esS:
COVINGTON, Ga, April 6.-Fear
for his own life was the motive that
prompted Clyde Manning, negro
farm boss. to help kill 10 negro farm
hands employed or the Jasper coun-
~ plantation Of John Williams. he
told Wednesday in the trial Of Will
liams in Newton county superior
court here. Manning asserted on
cross examination he did not want
to help kill them, but was afraid to
disObey Williams, he declared, was
trying to do away with the negroes
for fear they might testify regard
ing alleged peOnage conditions on
the Williams farm.
They wasn't a-bothern' me-" said
Manning, a man about SO years old.
Il didn't want TO get 'em out of the
way" but he added, later, Mr.
Johnny said, its their neck or

shortly after federal authorities
started an investigation Of alleged
peOnage on the farm, six Of them,
according to Manning, being chained
TO rocks and thrown alive into riv-
ers, and five knocked in the head
and shot and buried on the farm.
Williams is on trial charged with
the murder of Linsey Peterson, one
Of three Of the negroes alleged to
have been brought into Newton
county and drowned and the defense
sought 10 confine the witness to his
account of Peterson's death and to
bar him and two federal agents from
testifying as to peonage conditions.
