THAT NEXT BIG WAR
WOULD EXTERMINA1E
BOTH SIDES.

THE flying torpedo, steered by
wireless and carrying tons of high
explosives and poison gases, is now
ready for use in battle.
Joseph Wright, naval expera, says
these torpedoes could be sent from
Europe with the precision of rifle
bullets and made to drop in any se-
lected town.
A swarm of 5000 of them would
wreck New York City. Flying tor
pedocs carrying 200 tons of phosgene
gas would kill every person in New
York not scientifically masked
against it. Amcricus is equally vul-
nerable.

RICHLAND, Jan. 12.-The Adver-
tising Club8of Richland held their
second Golden Rule sale day Monday.
1t proved even more successful than
the preceding one.
The Richland merchants have been
exceedingly fortunate in having a
steady trade for several months but
both Golden Rule sale days have help
ed business considerably. Some mer-
chants doubled their usual Monday
business, others had an increase of
from 20 to 100 per cent. Regard
less Of the bad condition of the roads,
due to the recent prolonged rains,
there were many people here from
the surrounding country.
Tive carloads of hogs were sold
Monday as result of this sale. One
car was bought by an agent repre-
senting. a packing house in Anderson,
IS. c., the other by an agent from the
Moultrie packing house.
Mayor Carter, who has just return
ed from a two weeks business trip
through Florida in the interest Of
the Florida Short Route association,
says one of the greatest benefits of
the Golden Rule sales days is the ere
ating of interest in cooperative sales
of products, which will mean pros
perity to the famrer and in turn to
the towns.

COUNCIL CALLED
FOR FRIDAY NIGHT
TO TALK ON TAX
Gasoline Levy And Driving From
City Farmers Selling Meat
Subjects To Be Up

A special meeting of the city coun-
Gil was called today by Mayor j. +.
Sheppard for Friday night, 7 O'Clock,
for consideration of proposed amend
ments to the special license ordinance
which was enacted last Thursday
night and has now been put in print
cd form. The special gasoline tax
of half cent a gallon will be brought
up for repeal or modification, and
the prohibiting of farmers bringing
meat in less quantities than half a
hog, except back bone and spare ribs,
without procuring butchers license,
will also be brought up for modifi-
cation.
In the case of the gasoline tax, it
is said the large refiners' represen-
tatives have announced their inten-
ton of absorbing the tax for the
dealers, while the independents, be-
cause Of contract arrangements
based on retail price, arc unable to
do this. In the case of the butchers
ordinance, it is said that not only
have farmers complained bitterly of
the act putting a stop to their ped
dling meats, from which they have
been able to derive some cash in
come from the products of their
farm, but householders in the city
who have been accustomed to buy
meat from farmers have also COM
planned. This matter will probably
be the subject of warm debate, in
asmuch as it was changed at the last
meeting at the request of the butch,
crs of the city.

FIGHT ON OFFICER
MAY GIVE COURT
LYNCHERS LIST
Colouitt County Chief, Attacked
By Taxpayers, Ready To
Strike Back

MOULTRIE, Jan. 11-Certain tax
navers who have filed petition urg-
;n0 the removal of J. o. Stewart,
chief of the Colquitt county police
force and energetic foe off blind
tigers, for alleged malfersance in of
flee, will be given an opportunity to
present their case against him at a
public hearing to be held before the
commissioners Friday morning Of this
week. Stewart also will be privileged
to defend himself against the accusa-
tions contained in the petition. He
has engaged counsel to represent him
and has let it be known that he
would be on hand.
The most serious charge brought
against the officer is that he was
an alleged active member of the mob
that burned John Henry Williams,
negro, at the stake near Autreyvjlle,
on the same day that he had been
tried, convicted and sentenced to
hang for the murder of little Lorene
Wilkes. Stewart was one of the some
thirty "picked men" as Judge Thomas
characterized them, sworn in to help
protect the prisoner. 1t was as Will
liams was being removed from the
court house to special train waiting
to carry him to some other town for
safekeeping that he was seized by
mob said to have numbered nearly
1000 men. The petitioners claim
that after Williams was thrown into
an automobile and carried back to
~he scene of the crime to be put to
death that Stewart followed and had
an active part in the burning of the
negro.
1t is also alleged that Stewart
swore falsely in the trial of the case
against Lewis Johnson, alleged moon
sinner, when he denied ever having
used search warrants in blank, later
filling out the name Of the person
he wanted to search.
Fridays hearing is expected to at
tract a big crowd as interest in the
case is intense throughout the coun-
ty. The petitioners through their at
torneys have announced that they
Will have a number of witnesses on
hand to give testimony in. substan-
nation Of the charges made against
the officer. Stewart has not indicat-
ed his line Of defense, but has assert
cd that he would be on hand when the
hearing begins.
In the meantime there is consid-
cradle conjecture here as to what
-wIll be the attitude of the grand jury
ana Judge w. E. Thomas when Su-
perlor court convenes here on Mon
DAY for the regular January term.
me grand jury was in session after
the lynching of Williams and acting
on specific instructions from Judge
lhomas made an investigation of the
incident, but was unable to get suf-
flcient proof to warrant the return
ing OF any indictments. Just what
evidence the tax payers seeking the
removal Of Stewart will be able to
produce concerning the burning of
the negro, of course remains to be
seen. One thing, however, that does
stand out in bold relief is that if one
man is involved in the lynchinp 9TH

light when the negro was seized, with
no one masked, and fully thousand
