CONVICT SCHLEY MEN
OF LYNCHING NEGRO
JUDGE LITTLEJOHN IMPOSES
SENTENCE OF ONE TO FOUR
YEARS. ASK NEW TRIAL.

AMERICUS, Ga.-Benny DeVane,
Henry Harvey and Henry Lewis Full
ford, white residents of Schley coun-
ty, have been sentenced to serve one
to four years each in the Georgia chain
gang for their part in the lynching OF
Will Jones, a negro, near Ellav1lle,
several weeks ago. The men were con-
victed after a joint trial of shooting
at another" the jury recommending
that misdemeanor punishment be inn
posed. This recommendation was dis
regarded by Judge Z. A. Littlejohn,
before whom the trial was conducted.
Benny DeVane and Henry Harvey,
together with Tom Brown, George l..
Phillips, Clarence Robinson, John De-
Vane and Arthur DeVane, were &C
cused by a coroner's jury, which IN
vestigated Jones death, of the Negroes
murder. The case attracted statewide
attention at the time.
Benny DeVane and Henry Harvey
are the only ones among those named
by the coroner's jury yet to be arrest
ed, all the others having fled, leaving
their families and farms.

Fulford's name was not Connected
publicly with the case until Monday,
when the grand jury returned an in
dictment, charging that he had ac-
companied Benny DeVane, Henry
Harvey and others to the home of Will
Jones on Sunday night before the ne
gro was finally killed. During the bat
tie there that night both Benny De-
Vane and Henry Harvey were shot by
Jones' Harvey being seriously wound
ed.
Fulford was in the court room when
the grand jury returned the Indictment
against him and was Immediately ar
rested by Sheriff Battle.
$4,000 Bonds Are Given.
Zach Childers, of Americas, and
John Cheney and E. J. Hart, of Ella

AT the conclusion of the case, after
the jury had rendered its verdict, At
torney Childers announced motion
for new trial would be made, and
asked that his clients be released on
bail. Bond was fixed by Judge Little
john at $4,000 each, which was furnish

uralists. There have been found in
these refugees one species that exists
nowhere else in the United States, and
several species that are rare. The
islands are not inhabited by animals
that would destroy the birds or the
eggs, and the feathered creatures have
grown so unwary that they are not

suits, should be variable, which Is
easily arranged by using a paper and
pencil leak and by adding lines or
erasing them as described under "con-
densers." The fixed condenser should
be about .001 mid. and the variable
condenser of from 0OO3 to .OOO7 mfds.
Be sure to place the phone receivers
and B-battery in series, the positive
pole of the battery being connected to
the tap-off on the inductance and the
negative pole being led to the receivers
as shown. In setting up and tuning
you. will very likely find 1t necessary
to take one or two turns of wire from
the upper end of the coil, which Is
easily done. In operating this set first
bring the tube f1lament to a point
where the oscillations produce q squeal
or howl with the variable condenser
set at zero. Then, by moving the con-
denser pointer over the scale slowly
and carefully, you can determine the
best point to receive signals. When
this Is determined, adjust the rheostat
until the filament oscillates ana then
decrease the brightness little. With
a little practice and by marking the
knobs you will be able to readily adjust
the set very accurately and quickly.

INDUCTANCEs AND TUNING COILS

In order to receive and hear sounds
sent from transmitting stations by
radiOphOnes clearly and without inter
ference or confusion, device of some
sort is required which will cut out all
waves save those desired. This is
known as tuning" and the instruments
or appliances used to accomplish it
are called tuners" There are now
a great many different devices for
tuning, such as tuning-coils, loose
cOuplers, variO-couplers, variometers,
variable cOndensers, etc. OF these,
all but the variable condensers (Which
see) are coils of various types, the
simplest, but by no means the most
efficient, being the simple tuning-coils.
These consist Of a coil Of bare wire
wound about a core or cylinder Of
wood, fibre or pasteboard and pro-
vided with sliding contacts as shown
in Fig. 80, in which A is the coil, B,
the slide rod and c, the slider.
By moving the slider from coil to
coil Of the wire the wave length of
the receiving instruments may be adj
justed to catch the desired sounds
Of that wave length. Such coils are
very easily made by winding a paste
board tube-which should be soaked
in melted paraffine to render 1t water
proof-with bare copper wire about
No. 49,, making about 40 turns and
leaving a space of about 1-16 inch be-
tween the turns. If two or more sliders
or contacts are arranged still finer
by providing rotary switches with five
contacts as shown in Fig. 81, still bet
ter results will be secured. Although,
as stated, these coils are easily made,
yet they are so cheap that many pre-
fer to purchase them ready made rather
than bother making them. Simple
coils or inductances, however, are even
simpler, as they consist merely of
few turns of insulated copper wire
wound on a pasteboard tube. the num-
Der of turns depending upon the wave
lengths to be received. In some sets
there is but one coil or helix Fig. 80,
while in other sets there are two, a
primary and secondary Fig. 33, and
as a rule the coil should be tapped
and the circuit connected at the tap
off Fig. "a. This is best done by TAX
ing a loop or twist in the wire at the
desired point and then continuing
winding as Fig. So. OF course, in MAX

ception the timber is not dying, decay
ing or going back" by fungus or in
sect attack at the rapid rate alleged
by buyers, who, obviously, desire to
buy as cheaply as possible. Unless
it is oyerlnature it is increasing yearly
in volume and value.
Cutting during the early period of
growth, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, often repre-
sents real sacrifice in financial re-
turns. The approximate age at which
trees should be cut in order to obtain
the highest returns a year is very
different for different species. Thus
cottonwood, ash, hickory and yellow
poplar become commercially valuable
at much earlier ages than white oak
and black walnut
When other farm work is least
pressing many farmers find it profit
able to turn their attention TO estimat-
ing, measuring, cutting, marketing and
selling their timber. Spare help and
time to supervise the work make the
winter a favorable season for this. 1t
is easier to haul logs on the snow than
over ordinary roads. and the logs are
less liable than at any other time of
the year to deteriorate quickly through
attacks of insects or fungi.
Best Method of Selling.
The choice of methods of selling de-
pends largely upon the kind of timber
and the owners knowledge of its
value, his past experience and the
condition of the market. Timber prod
ucts are sold either in the standing
tree or in more or less roughly man.
ufactured condition. Except when
sold by the lot or lump, sales are
based upon measure by log scale or
lumber tally or upon individual count
of units of designated size or char
acter.
Timber sold by the lot, boundary, or
tract is either Jumped off" to include
a designated tract or sold on an acre
age basis. This method has prevailed
over all others, particularly in the
rougher and less-settled districts. AS
a rule it is strongly favored by the
purchaser because in such a transac-
tion his better knowledge of both tim
ber yields and values gives him an
advantage over the average owner.
Many examples of the sacrifice by
the owner of large share of the
value of the timber can be found in
nearly any wooded region. On ac-
count of greater competition among
purchasers and better understanding
on the part of the owners of timber
values, sales of standing timber by
the lot or lump are now being made
with better profit than formerly.
In using this method it is very inn

HEALING ART OF OLD CHINESE
Abundant Proof That They Were Fa-
miliar With Anesthesia Many
Thousands of Years Ago.

The artificial induction of painless
ness by narcotic draughts was tradi-
tionally known in ancient times, writes
DIR. Charles Balance in the London
Lancet.
The Chinese were acquainted with
general anesthesia thousands of
years ago. 1t is related of Surgeon
Hoathe in the Third century A. d. that
he performed amputation, trephining
and other major operations by its aid.
Doctor Browne relates two cases of
anesthesfa taken from Persian
manuscript. The first story concerns
Aristotle and an Indian surgeon named
Sarnab. An earwig had entered the
patients ear and attached itself to
the brain. Aristotle gave the patient
the drug so that he became uncon-
scious while Sarnab trephined the
skull. This was excellent treatment.

eign bodies may produce otitis and

wire should be scraped free of insula-
ton TO make the joint, after which 1t
should be wrapped with adhesive tape.
In making these simple inductance
coils it is best to put on more turns
Of wire than you think is actually re-
quired, as it is far easier to remove
one turn at time, until the desired
wave length is obtained, than 1t Is
to add turns after the instruments are
set up. Similar simple coils are used
in many parts Of receiving sets, such
as the radio-choke in Fig. 50, L, etc.
By making several tap-offs and then
leading them to the various contacts
Of a multiple-point switch, Fig. SO.
c, excellent results may be obtained
especially with the smaller crystal sets
with single simple coil. Another way
may be received by means of simple
coils without tuning devices, Is to have
several coils Of various sizes so ar
ranged that they may be connected or
disconnected, with your set at will.
This may be done, either by means
of plugs and sockets as In Fig. 36,
A, or by switches with several con-
facts as shown In Fig. SO. B. Still
finer adjustment may be obtained by
providing each coil with slider or
similar tuning device. This will give
wide range Of wave lengths and will
obviate all need of taking turns off the
coils and as such coils are very easy
to make you can have as many as you
desire of different sizes.
Another very different -ype of In
ductance-c coil consists Of two windings,
known as primary and secondary, and
are similar to the ordinary sparkling
coils used In older type automobiles,
In power boats, etc. These are known
also as transformers (Which see) and
while they can be made at home yet
it is tedious and difficult job to wind
on the hundreds Of turns of wire
properly and as such coils are mex
pensive it Is never advisable to attempt
it, unless you wish to make everything
yourself, just for the practice and fun
Of 1t. Coils Of this type may be pur-
chased which are made especially for
radio use, but an ordinary spark-coil
with the contact-breaker screwed or
fastened down will answer every pur-
pose. The same type OF coil, using
only the secondary winding, may be
successfully employed as choke-coil.

Ammeters are instruments designed

through the wires and are often very
essential parts of radio outfit. They
consist, as far as exterior appearances
go, of dial marked with figures and
a hand or needle. Although they are
not high priced and it is not advisable
to try to make them, still there is
nothing mysterious or complicated
about them and the amateur, who likes
to experiment with homemade instru-
ments, can readily construct an am
meter which will work and is fairly
reliable. This instrument is known
as "hot-wire ammeter" Gig. 29),
