Oconee Grand Jury
Indicts 4 in Probe Of
Alleged Lynchings

ATHENS, Ga, Jan. 26-Four men
were indicted by the Oconee county
grand jury at Watkinsville late Wed
nesday in connection with the al
legged lynching of three negroes IN
that county last December. Three
of the men were arrested and
brought to Athens Thursday morn
ing early, not because violence was
feared, but because of the crowded
condition of the Oconee county jail,
Sheriff Maxeys stated.
The men arrested are Jim Dooley,
Hamp Dooley, Herbert Thomas and
Cal Hawks. The first three were
brought to Athens. No date has been
set for hearing the case.
Investigation Of the alleged lynch
ings will be continued by the grand
jury, according to information re-
ceived from there today. Other ar
rests are expected.
The negroes killed were Aaron
Birdsong, Yves Hale and George
Lowe. The two latter were said
to have been two of the best negroes
in the county, one of them had over
500 on his person when he was
killed. The first negro, Birdsong,
was shot after having resisted ar
rest, it is said. The other, two were
killed few hours after Birdsong's
death, charged with aiding him in
his flight from officers after he had
shot "a deputy sheriff who tried to
arrest him for a minor offense.
There is some difference of opin.
ion regarding the killings, officers
maintaining that the negroes were
shot because they resisted arrest,
while others maintain contrary the
cries. State and federal authorities
started an investigation on the
ground that there was a question in
the matter it is said.

A poor man may show his covet-
BUSINESS by an unwillingness to give
because he can not give largely. 1t
is the love Of money or what money
represents that is the root of all
evil. And today many church mem
bers are guilty Of this sin because
they are subordinating their whole
lives to the getting of money,
and turning a deaf ear to the cries
of Gods cause, or at most soothing
their consciences by wholly made
quate gifts in order that they might
have more and more.
In them, as in Ahab, the serpent's
trail is seen in the path that follows.
Oh, mo, they don't murder like he
did; only by Withholding what might
keep alive. They don't steal as he
did, nor lie, but what a. sad spirit
ual story of loss and declens.on is
theirs, when once they have let COW
etousness grip them!
Elijah and Jehu
Gods word came to Elijah; and
before Ahab could plan the change
in Naboth's garden EHjah faced him,
right on the spot DE- his sin. Ahah
was very bold in accusing Elijah
of being his enemy until Elijah be.

bels blood was to be eaten by dogs
by the wall of Jezreel; Ahab's blood
was to be licked in that very place
the place of his sin; and his entire
family was to be wiped out. What
terrible price to pay for a garden
Of herbs!
In the company with Ahab was
one of his captain, Jehu, the son of
Nimshi. He heard those words OF
Ahab's and they made an indelible
impression upon him. Years after
this he recalls them when in this
very garden he finds only the skull
and feet and palms of the hands Of
Jezebel, left by the scavenger dogs

Ahab's blood was licked here, too
by the dogs, for although disguised
he was MORALLY wounded in his
chariot in the battle with the kina

blood that filed the pool. Il Kings

AT arties Is Offered
By Arbuckle Defense

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26.-How
Virginia Rape conducted herself at
a party was the topic Of testimony
at the opening of today..s session in
the second trial of Roscoe Arbuckle,

ton with her death. Mrs. Allen
Barrie, of Hollywood, was sched-
uled to resume testimony for the
defense which was curtailed when
court adjourned last night.
Mrs. Barrie said that she and Miss
Rape attended party during an
eclipse of the moon in 1921" but
what happened there was left for
later revelation.
Considerable evidence tending to
show that Miss Rape suffered from
attacks Of seemingly severe illness
was offered yesterday. The defense
is seeking to show that it was this
illness and not any act of Arbuckle
that caused the girls death.

SHEPARD AND GLUCK COTTON LETTER
the greater part Of the session today the
cotton market was very steady under the
reactionary tendency suddenly acquired on
the opening. Prices were gradually adj
vanced until around mid-session they were
St to ~ points higher than the close of
Yesterday with March up to 1852. In the
later trading, on cIalms tnaI urEenI SNORT
covering had been accomplished and on a
RESUMPTION of unfayor2ble spot accounts
from the eastern belt. there were recessions
from the highest which carried March down
TO ID 40 toward the close.
The reaction was the natural consequence
| OF a prolonged decline and the wonder was
| that it was not sharper. For while. in
| the early trading, it was reported that
| strong, new buying was entering the market
! but this was not in evidence in the later
| trading Both New Orleans and New York
reported calling of cotton in moderate
| way. .
! late trading was that there had been nc
rhange in general conditions and unfaror-
able general conditions have been the main
factor against the market for long time
past. Probably the near future of the
, market depends on spot developments more
than on anything else.

fires have occurred at IS West Ogle-
thorpe avenue, the residence of M.
J. Canneff, within the past fifteen

as low as SO. There are over $15.-
000,000,000 Liberty bonds outstanding
which means an increase to the hold
efs OF over $1,500,000.o0
One Of the unhappy recollections
Of the past ia the manner In which
Liberty bonds persisted in slumping
in price after the public invested III
them. President Harding. in his
speech Of acceptance Of the ,nomina-
tion for president, referred to this
condition saying: Il, believe this
government should make its Liberty
and Victory bonds worth all that ITS
patriotic citizens paid in purchasing
them"
Two very tangible reasons why gov
eminent bonds are approaching in
value are furnished by two. recent
reports Of the United States Treas
ury. One report shows that for the
iive-month period beginning July 1
last year the federal expenses were
$500, 100000 less than for the cores
ponding period in 1920. This is re-
'oucffg the federal expenses at the
rate of s1O0,0O0.OOO a month or ST.
200. 100000 a year.
Simultaneous with this report the
Treasury shows that the gross debt
Of the United States government has
been decreased by over SiS5,000. 600
in the last 80 days.
