Get Ready For Spring, Folks!
Mr.. Groundhog Misses Shadow

If tradition holds good, winter is
over, for Old Man Grounding, when
he ventured out of his hole today,
looked about, saw no shadow, and
remained out. If the sun had been
shining, he would have popped back
into his burrow and not ventured out
for six weeks, and we would have
had winter weather all through that
time But now we are safe, ac-
cording to old time prophets and re-
vered beliefs. At least at press time
there wasn't the slightest indication
that the sun would be shining in this
locality before tomorrow.
But the habits of Mr.. Groundhog

DAVIS CONVICTED OF MURDER AT SOPERTON
MINER LYNCHING
IS DESCRIBED. BY
DRIVER OF TAXI
Crowd Flocks Early To
Alabama Court To
Hear Witness

HAMILTON, Ala Feb. 2.-By
daybreak crowds were today making
their way toward the county court
house here in expectation of hearing
Leslie West, star witness for the state
in the trial of Sergeant Robert L..
Lancaster, a National Guardsman,
describe the lynching of William
Baird, a white miner, near Jasper
during January. Largely upon Vests
testimony, it is said, the state will
rely for establishing the personnel of
the lynching party.
West is owner of a garage to
which car, which proved to be his,
was tracked from the scene of the
lynching. Subsequently he confess
ed driving a car full of soldiers.
West was calm when he took the
stand. He described in simple
terms without a show of emotion the
autombile trip from Townley to Jasp-
er, the storming of the Jail and the
events that followed in the lynching
of Baird.
He said after the mob emerged
from the Jail smaller car led and
his party trailed it to a point two
miles from Jasper. The leading car
stopped, the witness said. He then
was ordered to stop and "turn his
head" Then about thirty shots
rang out, almost simultaneously. Aft
er firing, the passengers returned to
the cars, and he was ordered to drive
back to Townley, he said.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2. - as
the reparation agreement reached
by the Allies within Germany's
ability to pay, and if so, what will
be the efefct on economic condi-
tions generally of havingo---tiae.
amount of reparation and the terms
of payment definitely fxed?"
Bernard M. Baruch, economic
advisorof the American Peace Mis-
sion to Paris when the treaty was
drafted, and one of the American
members on the Reparations Com
mission, didn't give any snapshot
answer. He did quite a bit of fig
uring and put through several tele-
phone calls before he answered.
His figuring was done to trans
late into American dollars the
amount of indemnity the allies now
agree Germany must pay and to
determine how great capital
charge would have to be set aside
by German industry in order to
amortize the 226,0O0, 100000 gold
marks in the next az years.
His telephone calls summoned
to his aid expert statisticians and
also put him in touch with officials
from whom he obtained details of
the agreement which have not been
carried by press dispatches.
well" he finally announced,
"from the facts in hand, I would
say that the total amount of the
reparations looks pretty stiff.
Merely because Germany may
accept it, and because the Allies
say it is acceptable, does not mean
that business men generally
throughout the world will so re-
gard it.
"The real story Of whether the
reparations agreed on are reason
able or excessive, will be told with
in the next few days in the worlds
markets.
"That will be the real and only
dependable gauge.
"If it is a sum within Germany's
ability to pay, and if she accepts
this arrangement in good faith,
and not simply because she has to,
and, further, if it meets the ap-
proval of business men and finan-
ciers, there is sure to be an i'm
provement in worldwide economic
conditions.
"There has already been a rise
in exchange in anticipation that
the settlement would be reason
able. There would be a further
rise,' with a tendency over a Pc
riod of time slowly to approach
normal.
"This would increase the credit
facilities of all nations involved
and improve their buying capacity
and their ability to exchange COM
modities with one another. 1t
would tend to increase the wealth
of the world, and, therefore, in
crease the ability to lessen the per-
centage of taxation because of the
increased taxable volume"
The big load Germany must car
ray in meeting the reparation pay

LIFE SENTENCE
GIVEN AS JURY
URGES MERCY
Prominent Farmer Ac-
cused Of Poisoning
| enant For Insurance

SOPERTON, Ca, Feb. 2. - After
being out more than sixteen hours.
he jury in the Treutlen. SUPERIOR
court today returned verdict of
guilty in the case of Dan Davis. a
farmer, charged with the murder of
William Hall, one of his former ten
ants.
On recommendation for mercy the
court sentenced Davis to life inn
prisonment.
DAVIS, prosperous farmer and in
fluential citizen of TreutIen. went
on trial last Wednesday on an in
dictment charging murder on one
count. E. c. Coleman, prominently
connected in Emanuel county and
a farmer in Treutlen, Wiley J.
Smith and Roy burden were also in
dlcted on charge of murder. They
are now confined in the jail here.
The contention of the state was
that Hall, a white cropper and for
meriy in the employ of Davis was Civ.
en- poison which brought about his
death on the night of September 13
last. The motive of the crime, it
IS alleged, was to collect insurance
on Halls life, amounting to S15,-
600, and part of which had been
made payable to Davis as security
for $4,000 debt.
The contention of the defense was
that Hall met his death by drowning
by being pinned under an automo-
bile in a small creek after it had
crashed through a bridge spanning
the water. The car was the proper-
-tX-af- f-Coleman aud was being dr.v-
en- by its owner. The other occu-
pants of the car escaped fpDm seri-
Gus injuries. The cause of the ac-
cident was due to a defective steer
ing wheel.
The state to prove that there ex-
lsted poison plot placed on the
stand DIR. Edgar Everhardt, of At
ianta, who stated that after two tests
had bene made on the stomach of
Hall, which had been carried to him
~ 0A4S Va VIC pIlySlCIdIS pofIOrnhnO
an autopsy, he found Il 2-5 grains
OF chloral. He did not state wheth-
er this amount was sufficient to
bring about death.
The defense placed on the stand
DR.. H. Y. Righton, of Savannah, coro-
ner of Chatham county for the last
eleven years; DR.. H. V. White, DR..
K. V. Lamar and DR.. Carl Merritt,
chemist professors at the medical
department of the University of
Georgia, in an effort to shake down
the testimony of DR.. Everhardt.
The case during its early stages
was devoted entirely to expert testi-
mony.
There were numerous local wit
nesses placed on the stand by the
defense to show that the automobile
accident was caused by defective
gear.
The trial has attracted state-wide
attion. Approximately 5000 people
attended the trial daily.
