THE CRIME WAVE IN GEORGIA
tn HE killing of Mr.. Fred Stewart and NOR
tai wounding of his two principal store
managers is an exhibit that will con-
vince any student of our current events that
nobody can feel assured of their own lives
in crowded places, especially in the capital
city of Georgia.
The deliberate murder Of the young lady
at her desk less than a week ago. in a
| office, by an ill-natured man who was abso-
| lutely nothing to her, and this wholesale
killing of Mr.. Stewart and two others, In his
own store attending to legitimate business,
adds conviction to the statement that no.
body's life be considered safe in the
| capital of the state of Georgia.
The killing of the preachers wife brought
only a confirmation of this declaration, that
nobody's life is safe in the smaller towns, be-
cause 1t is painfully evident that gangs of
masked men with murder in their hearts are
! infesting these smaller towns. The murder
of an army officer who graciously allowed
two human devils to ride with him, a gen
tlemanly courtesy, is evident proof that these
bandits are without regard for anything
good and bent murder as pastime re-
sort for their ingrained deviltry.
l note also the governor IS going to call q
| klonvocation Of some sort or other to tell
the people what's the matter with Georgia
This crime wave is the natural outcome OF
the disregard Of law enforcement, and an un-
| happy political situation where a, hooded or
der holds the reins Of government, and life
and death matters not to be regarded
| closed in the courts, but in the klonvoca-
tions of the aforesaid hooded order. AS
proof of this affirmation Country Home
readers can find it In Hearst's international
| Magazine, published in February, 1924. A
copy in my possession gives the data and
the dates, and the pledge that such crimes
are not to be settled in courts of justice but
by the hooded secret order as pledged by
! the executive of the state Of Georgia. l am
ready to send verbatim copy Of this pledge
to any person, known to be seeking the facts
and the truth, and conditions have reached

known from the estate Of Dade to the Tybee

by the majority condemnatory from start
to finish. The report sent in by the minor1-

for a number of years. His fine face comes
to me in memory, and 1t Is pitiful that this
gentleman should have been murdered by q
hate-flled drinking man, who had no mercy
only revenge.
