RICHLAND'S GOLDEN
RULE SALE A WINNER

RiCHLAND, Jan. 12.=The Adver-
tising Club of 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.
Two 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,
S. G., 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.

AMERCUS GETS
: 50. GA. DAILIES
Organization, Formed Here Two
Years Ago, Develops Into
Important Body

Americus will be the meeting place
of the South Georgia Dailies associa-
tion, an organization Of eight daily
newspapers of this section, at-its next
quarterly meeting on Wednesday,
Arrils IL. This was decided at the
first meeting Of the new year held
at Valdosta yesterday. 1t will be the
first meeting to be held in Americus
since the Organization of the asso-
citation in the Times Recorder office
two years ago
In those two years the association
has grown from an experiment into
an important reality, which has ac-
comlpished great deal in the i'm
provement of the various papers rep
resented in the membership, stand
ardization af methods and co-opera-
tive service. Yesterdays meeting
was considered the most important
and fruitful yet held. At this meet
ing movement was put On foot to
purchase comparatively type cast
ing machine, costing several thousand
dollars, which will permit all of the
members to maintain complete stocks
of new type at a minimum expense.
A movement was also decided upon
to launch a cooperative advertising
and exploitation campaign for South
Georgia products with the object of
educating the peoples of South Geor-
gia to buy and demand products
manufactured in this section, thus
keeping their money in this section
and helping to develop the section
as a whole.
All the publishers reported serious
slumps in business during 1921 and
difficulties in making collections, but
slashing of expenditures has enabled
them to weather the storm, and all
were optimistic that a gradual i'm
provement in general business condi-
tions would be seen this year, par
after the new crop comes
in.

LEARN FROM SCIENCE
THAT NEXT BIG WAR
w OULD EXTERNIINATE
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 torpedocs could be sent from
Europe with the precision of rifle
bullets and made to drop in any Sc
lected town.
A swarm of 5000 of them would
wreck New York City. Flying tor
pedoes carrying 200 tons of phosgene
gas would kill every person in New
York not scientifically masked
against it. Americus is equally vul-
nerahle.
Politicians seem unable to disarm
the world. Science will do the job.
The next big war, if fought, will
ruin and virtually exterminate both
sides.

Subjects To Be Up

A special meeting of the city coun-
Gil wa called today by Mayor j. E..
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

of half a cent gallon will be brought
up for repeal OF 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-
tatiyes have announced their inten-
tion of absorbing the tax for the
dealers, while the independents, be-
cause Of contract arrangements
based on retail price, are 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 stop to their ped
ding meats, from which they have
been able to derive some cash in
come from the products of their
farmi but householders in the city
who have been accustomed to buy
meat from farmers have also com
planned. This matter will probably

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

M0ULTRIE, Jan. ll-Certaln tax
uavers who have filed a petition urg-
mo the removal of j. 0. Stewart,
chief Of the Colquitt county police
force and energetic foe of blind
tigers, for alleged malfersance in Of
flee, will be given an opportunity to
saresent their case against him at a
gublic 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.
TIE most serious charge brought
against the officer is that he was
an alleged activesmember of the mob
that burned John Henry Williams,
negro, at the stake near Autreyville,
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 a special train waiting
to carry him to some other town for
Safekeeping that he was seized by a
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.

ihe grand jury was in session after
the lynching of Williams and acting
on specific instructions from judge
!nomas made an investigation of the
incident, but was unable to get suf
ilclent proof to warrant the return
ing OF any indictments. Just what
eFioence 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 lynching 9TH
sers Is. Will also be. 1t was broad day-
