MACON, Ga, May 25.-Jim benson,
a negro youth, whose appeal from
death sentence was carried without

ed States, and who early this week
narrowly escaped lynching at the
hands of a mob, was safe today in
Bibb's county mobproof Jail.

was Jim's smiling comment, even
though the sentence to be hanged
June 16, for the alleged attack on
an aged white woman three years ago
still stares him in the face. Jim how
ever, had some reason to smile beyond
his escape from the mob. because
numerous white people in this and
Wilkinson counties who believed his
escape an act of providence, were con-
sidering an appeal to Governor Har-
wick for Communication of his sentence
to life Imprisonment.
The negro, telling details of the
mob's action, said he asked them TO
let him pray and they replied that
they hadn't time. II heard them say
they would shoot me just out of town,
he said.

MEETING OF WOMEN
AT NOON WEDNESDAY

The first of the weekly noon meet
ings of the business women to be held
after the Sunday party leaves will be
held at the Grace M. E. church next
Wednesday.
With the permanent organization of
the Business Women's Conservation
committee, out of the invitation COM
mittee that had been acting during
the campaign, the first move was to
establish the noon meetings.
For the time being the meetings
will be held but once a week, with
some local person to give the talk,
but it is hoped that the meetings will
grow to such an extent that greater
number of meetings will have to be
held.
The practice of serving a 10-cent
luncheon will be continued, as has
been the case with Mrs. Asher's meet.
ings.
Over 5000 meals were served in the
Reid Memorial church to the girls at
noon, according to records compiled
Thursday morning. The average at
tendance at the noon meetings was
close to 290, while on Thursday the
last day, nearly 400 1uncheons were
served and even greater numbers OF
girls dropped in to hear Mrs. Asher

TO CONTINUE NOON
SERVICES AT SHOPS

Noon meetings for the men IN the
shops are to be continued
The methods which are to be FOL
lowed are as yet in nebulous state,
as definite action has not been taken
as to which organization will be re-
sponsible for the work, but dates al
ready have been set for certain fac
tories and shops.
The Pennsylvania railroad shops
were one of the first to take action,
the men deciding to have a meeting
every Wednesday noon. Who will as
sist in this meeting has not yet been
decided.
Under the leadership of A B. Har-
rison and Julian l.. Smith, of the Y.
NJ. c. A, definite arrangements have
been made for meetings at the Land

Swayne- Robinson company on Thurs
day Moons, and at the Dille-McGulre
Lawn Mower company on Friday

the meetings in the shops. said Mr..
Harrison, "haye been quite responsive
to having the meetings continued. We
have the promise of ministers and lay
men as speakers, of musicians of the
town to play, and of automobile own
ers to furnish transportation, so every
thing is set to have series of really
successful meetings"

LONDON, May 25.-Declaring that
the Anglo-Irish treaty must be saved,
today's papers express the suspicion
that the agreement between cannon
DeValera and Michael Collins covers
an intention TO declare an independent
republic.
The Times and the Daily Mail en-
phasize that Great Britain will never
tolerate the separation of Ireland.
1.-THE treaty. says the Times, SIS
the invioIable charter of listers
rights as we'll as those of Ireland. 1t
offers the only path to a settlement
and upon its preservation the dread
issue of peace or war inexorably de
pends."
The Daily Mail says the free state
leaders ought to be warned that Great
Britain is not going to be jockeyed
into the acceptance of a republic.
Elsewhere the refusal of Sir James
Craig, the Ulster premier, to partici-
pate in the boundary commission pro-
vided by the treaty, is sharply criti-
cised.
The Westminster Gazette warns Sir
James that ''it would be mere folly
for the English ministers to insist
that Collins adhere to the treaty, If
they admitted Craig's veto. The Craig
propouncement definitely lessons
every chance for peace in Ireland and
cannot be allowed to remain the last
word

front springs are different, but the
rear springs are the same and the
rear axle will easily be recognized by
all the Ford owners. -
The engine has been changed in that

eight valves, but the cylinder block is
the same. When Howard and Curtner
shift gears the Ford owners will rec

gear shift and transmission has been
retained. The differential is the same
as the stock car
The wheels are smaller than the
stock cars. The diameter of the Ford

sion has been changed to get the cen
ter of gravity low and the Fronty-
Fords almost hug the brick tracks.
| Putting 16 valves in the special head
for the Ford engine, from which the
cars get their name has contributed
to the noise making pre-elivities of the
engine. When the Fronty -Fords 60 by

full threated note that puts the larger
cars to shame.
One of the interesting spectators at
the race will be Edsel B. Ford, presi-
dent of the Ford Motor company, of
Detroit, Michigan. Mr. Ford has ae-
cepted the invitation of secretary and
general manager of the speedway, T.
e. Myers, to act as a judge the day
of the races. In practice the little cars
have been running around a 90-mile
an hour average. The "flivversp may
not win the race but they have a
chance and can be counted upon TO fin

made to the club, and members have
offered their services in supervising in

cability, were expressed by Maurice

take advantage of it.
Joseph Winder, president of the

the value of this Instruction for be-

waste of time and money through lack
