LYNCHINGS AFTER 4
RESPITE BY GEORGiA'S
:. GOVERNOR.

How two young colored boys. James
Harvey and Joe jordan, who were &C.
cused Of attempted criminal assault
while on Il hiking tour through
Georgia, were tried, convicted, ami
sentenced to death, and then lynched
after Governor Thomas w Hardwick
had granted respite of thirty days,
was revealed here today when the Nat
ional Association for the Advances
mcnt Of Co!orcd People made public Il
letter to Governor Hardwick. The lot
ter, signed by James Weldon Johnson
Secretary, recites the fact given above
pointing out that both Of the youths
came from respectable families AN,
that the Advancement Association had
investigated their case, secured con
vincing proof Of their innocence, en.
ployed counsel, which counsel had pre-
scented the facts to the governor which
gave him sufficient ground to delay
their execution set for June 80. A mob
determined not to be cheated Of their
prey, had seized the boys and lynched
them at Lanes Bridge, Georgia, o..
July 1.
The Associations letter calls upon
the Governor to institute action
against Deputy Sheriff j. n, Tyre who
allowed the prisoners to be taken from
him rs he was carrying them from
Jesup to Savannah for safe-keeping,
and against Tyre and his immediate,
superfors for furnishing so inadequate
protection to the men in view of .n,
ieellng against them. It also empha-
s'zed' the fact that evidence against
me men must have been indeed slight
II he as governor had seen fit to grant
the requested respite. This action was
particularly urged in view of Cow
nor Hardwick's recent public declarat
ION that there would be no mob rule
III Georgia while he was governor.

to the coming noble king. A picnic
was arranged for the afternoon, and
about 500 persons gathered on tn,
ground. Many among the crowd ask
ell where and when Mr.. Garvey would
arrlVe-the answer was passed around
that he would arrive about tho time
of the opening Of the night session,
which was satisfactory to those VIII.
came early.
The night session was opened after
some delay and when other speakers
were introduced, some explanation had
to be made. 1t was then said he mics
cd his train, and might arrive before
the conclusion Of the program.
He did arrive however, and on
schedule time, but for some reason
his stny was brief Notwithstanding he
was billed to speak. He came in at the

"rhrce Negroes were burned at ShU

for the alleged offense Of brutally rs
saulting and killing Il seventeen year
old white girl, Eula Ausley. A week
later personally investigated this af.

Between the family Of John King,

had been q bitter feud in which one

es the Prowells were arrested and lat
or released when they explained that
they had been making brand mash in
the thicket. The Truth Of their story
was not investigated and 1t was not as
ccrtained whether the brand mash
was there or not. John King said he
was certain tlfat white men were in.
plicated in the crime.
"Of the three Negroes burned the
Sheriff said that one was innocent In
his opinion, and the evidence shows
that not more than could have done
the act although five were mobbed ia

"The sentiment Of the people gener

whether the Negroes were guilty CT

DEMOCRATIC SENATORIAL TIMBER.

Governor Edwards boom for the United States senate
appears to have exploded. 1t was on the wane when Barney
Cannon let go his blast which seemed to have put the
ouietus on it. The governor has not formally withdrawn
from the race, but rumors are becoming more persistent that
he will. The governor promises a statement within the
next ten days.
It was hardly to be expected that the Democrats would
10 before the public at another election catering exclusively
to the booze element-and that is what the Edwards candi-
dacv would mean. Then, too, Edwards's record as governor
Is not one that would commend him to the voters OF the
state. He has never risen above the ordinary politician type
An dit is has been the Hudson county brand Of politician, at
that. There is not the slightest faint Of craftsmanship about
him. He may make a good executive for a bank, but as a
public official his ability is nil-at least he has not dispiayed
any during his term as governor. The United States senate
already has too many men Of the Edwards type IN 1t; IL Is
up to New Jersey to try to improve the personnel. IL wouid
he an awful come-down to send an Edwards to Washington
TO take the place Of a Frelinghuysen.
Leading Democrats have been sizing up the situation
for some time and it now looks as if the governor had sue
ceeded in having interpreted for him correctly the writing
on the wall.
Bank directors, it seems, have other uses beside par
ticfpating in the management of a bank. They can be used
to call off their president who may be in pollucs when ne Is
looking for a way to get out from under.
Senator Simpson, of Hudson county, is being gsoomed
as the likely candidate for United States Senator in %e place
..as- Governor Edwards. From state senator to United States
Of NehF is quite a big Jump to make all at once, yet more I'M
usual things have happened. One thing is certain, simpson
cant be any worse than Edwards and there is good reason 10
believe that he would make a much stronger candidate.
But the real question is, what chance has the Hudson
county senator for beating Joseph S. Frelinyhuysen, VINO
undoubtedly will be the Republican candidate in spite OF
George L. Record. At the present outlook his chances are
not very bright.

WHERE WILL THE PRESIDENT sTAND?'

President Harding stands pat on his bonus decision.
He told the delegation of congressman who waited upon him
to learn his latest attitude that he had nothing to add to what
had already been said. But will the President continue to
stand pat even if the bill in its present form passes both
houses of congress?
The mere fact that the Republican leaders in the House
deemed it worth while to see the President again after he had
declared himself shows that even the congressman OF his
own party look upon the President as somewhat of a whib-
The inference is that what the President says
one day may not apply the next. 1t the Republican congress
mon, the men who are supposed to be working with the
President at Washington, do not have any more confidence
in his word than is apparent, it is not surprising that the pub
tic is still wondering what the President will do in regard to
the bonus should the measure finally reach him.
The position taken by the President, to which he now
says he has nothing more to add, is that the bonus bill should
either carry a sales tax as a means for raising the necessary
money or the legislation should be postponed until a later
date when the finances of the nation are in better shape. But
congress ignored the Presidents attitude and the House
Is about to pass a bonus bill that does not come anywhere
aear meeting the Presidents desire.
There is still a big chance that the measure will be
killed in the senate even though it should pass the House.
But in the event that it does finally reach the President, what
will he do with it? He says he has already spoken and has
nothing more to add. But the congressman seemed to think
he might change his mind and the country at large is no
more certain as to what he will do finally in spite of his pro-
aouncement. This is one impression that the President has
made upon the country after one year in the White House.

TIME TO GET

Continual haggling over details for the elimination of
lhe grade crossings in Perth Amboy is not going to do any
body any good. If there is a deadlock between the city and
he railroad company the final decision ought to be left with
he Public Utility Commission. This body certainly realizes
hat the grade crossings ought to be eliminated. AS the rail-
road is willing to eliminate them and as the city is anxious
% have it done, there only remain the details to be settled.
Surely the differences cannot be so great but what a disin-
.erested party can decide between the two plans. The
people of Perth Amboy want to be rid of the grade crossings.
That there must be some sacrifices is recognized. The thing
Is 70 get the work started.
