Former Secretary Daniels has
writ book" about the wonderful
things he did to and with the navy
during the war Admiral Sims, who
was in position to know, says: "In
the sense that there actually was
a war in which our navy took part
the book may be said to be founded
on fact, but 1t is utterly misleading,
absolutely unreliable and therefore
dangerous" In other words 1t seems
to be about the same kind of book
other Democratic statesmen have
written about their reign of glory.

for this, in commenting on letter
from Senator Capper in reply to its
criticism of the farm bloc: "Sena-

that the farm bloc had interferred
with the carrying out Of party

a negro named Will Jones was
lynched near Ellaville, in Schley
county on Monday, and a coroner's
jury succeeded in getting the names
Of several of the men in the lynching
party. Warrants were sworn out for
number Of alleged lynchers, and at
latest report the sheriff Of Schley
county had started out to round them
up. The fynching was in open day
light and was witnessed by a number
Of persons who testified before the
coroner's jury, and it seems that
some of the lynehers have been posi-
lively identified. Here, now, is what
appears to be splendid opportunity
TO punish lynchers, and it is to be
hoped it will be done. It is time to
put stop to lynchings in Georgia,
and it will never be done until some
iynchefs arefconvicted in the courts
of the state and duly published.
Our prediction is that we will all

SCHLEY COUNTY'S
INDIGNATION.

A WORTHY negro farmer, who
through his thrift, honesty and in
telligence and the application of
those virtues which the white man
teaches the members of his race make
good citizens and which all of, them
should practice, has been killed by
mob in Schley county, seemingly
without provocation, and the best
people of the community, who appear
10 be vastly in the majority, are up
in arms, demanding that the outrage
be punished.
But at the outset apparently they
have run up against serious snag.
After coroner's jury had made ac-
cusations upon evidence heard, and
warrants had been placed in the pos
session of the county sheriff, that Of
ficer, according to popular belief sup
ported by the record Of net results
achieved by him, has been anything
but diligent in the performance of
his duty. And so indignant has the
community become that efforts are
to be made to have the sheriff ousted
from office by the governor, who
alone holds that power.
Evidently there is something rot
ten about the situation in Schley.
Somewhere the machinery of Justice
IS jumping cogs. For results were
not attained when they could have
been attained and the accused men
have not been rounded up, but rath-
er have been given the opportunity
to make their getaway, except two
wounded men.
The Times-Recorder does not in
tend here to reflect any conclusion
as to the guilt or innocence of the
men accused of this crime; but it is
merely attempting to point out that
the names of the men alleged to have
been involved have been duly report
y
ed and warrants placed in the hands
of the sheriff for service, and that
because of his negligence, either will
full or through sheer inefficiency. has
permitted men to escape from under
ms very nose when all he would have
had to do would have been to Law
his hands on them and. arrest them.
But the accused men likely will
be caught eventually. If the sheriff
does not locate them they probably
Will drift home one by one to face
the music, unless they know and feel
that the circumstances are such and
the evidence likely to be so con-
elusive that they will find it too dan.
porous to stand trial voluntarily.
The Times-Recorder believes the
good people of Schley county are
justified in their Indignation, and that
taey are TO be commended upon their
insistence that these men be arrested
and brought to trial, there to estab-
1sh their justification for the kill
ing of Will Jones, if there be any.
or the guilt or innocence of this ap-
parently atrocious crime. The eyes
of Georgia and the nation are on
schiey county at this time. She is
on trial. And the verdict is in her
own hands.
