NINE IMPRISONED ON
 CHARGES OF LYNCHING
Gcorgians Get Terms Ranging From Four
 Years to Life

Douglas, Ga, Nov. IS R-Nine members of mob that removed Dave Wright. white -,oan, from the county jail last August 27 and lynched him, have pleaded gu. to murder and drawn sentences of fro,. years to life Imprisonment. Thus, in less than 90 days, the courts have all but closed a case that revolved around the only recorded lynching in Georgia in 1926 and imposed line sentence for par ticipation in mob violence for the first time in the states history.
 Major Brown, a white man, and brother-in-law of the woman for whose death Wright was held, plead- ed guilty to murder yesterday when oly four jurors had been selected in a trial called for 13 men suspected of being members of the mob. Ro- bert Bullard, one of the defendants turned states evidence and was kept away from court.
 Several hundred persons were crowded into a little court room when Judge Harry D. Reed was ask ed to permit counsel for defense and prosecution to confer. Immediately a plea of guilty was entered for Brown and before spectators reacted to the announcement, Judge Reed had sentenced the man to life im- prisonment.
 Pleas of guilty then were arrang- ed for eight other defendants and the court imposed sentences varying from f to 20 years. The eight were: Archie Tenner, George Lott. Paul Cody. Willie Arnold. Allis Tanner, Joe Hutto, Alma Histor, and Charlie Adams.
 Brown admittedly was leader of the mob. His sisterin-law. Mrs. Zelphia Rollins, was slain in the kitchen of her home early in August while preparing dinner. Wright, a boarder in the home, was arrested soon afterward when 1t was learned that he and Mrs. Rollins had quar- reled, supposedly over the manu- facture of whiskey.
 Elt iAlidiliS llt Sii EAb odoI te 'tAe'SiN ed band called at the outer office of the jail. overpowered the sheriff and removed his keys. Before an alarm could be given Wright was dragged from his cell. The sheriff's wife ripped the mask from one Of the men as the party sped away In an autom obilc.
 Latere Wright 5 body was found at the roadside, some distance from the jail, riddled with bullets.
 Efforts to apprehend the mob were begun immediately and Brown was arrested when his relation to Mrs. Rollins was ascertained. One by one suspects were arrested and recently a county grand jury returned indict- ments naming six men. Three men have not been apprehended. Three others, who refused to enter pleas, are held in jail. They are Jack Las- tinger. John Strickland and Tilden Smith.
 Court was adjourned today subject to call.

MRS. GIBSON HEROINE
 TN CHARL0TTE'S EYES
Thrilled as Pig Woman" Points Finger at
 Mrs. Hall
BY CHARLOTTE MILLS Copyright 1926, Famous Features
 Syndicate Incl

Somerville, N. J., Nov. 1S.--Poor Mrs. Gibson. How brave she is. Risking her life for truth and jus- tice. There are not many people in this world who would do that. Her willingness to appear on the stand today may mean that she will die soon, but she will die happy, know ing that she has done her duty. In spite of the fact that she is called The Pig Woman" in spite of the fact that she is crude farm woman who lives in a hovel, to me she is the one great heroic figure of this trial.
 How can any one doubt the truth of her story after her great sacri- flee? One does not risk ones life to tell a lie. She has nothing to gain personally either way. I am sure she would not want to finger in the shadow of death with lie on her lips.
 The defense will have hard time to counteract the story which falls from her fever-parched lips. I don't think her mothers statement con- tradicting her will count for much.
 It is fitting that Mrs. Gibson should use the last sparks of her life in fighting for justice. She has always been fighter. She has had a hard struggle against many diff culties. and unhappiness and injus- tice have run through her whole life. Now at last, she has her great chance to battle victorious for the right. Noble woman.
 With the testimony of Mrs. Gib- son. Senator Simpson reaches the grand climax of his cose-actually putting defendants on the scene of the murder. Now the defense will have it's chance. Personally I don'tsee much that the defense can do. l lawyers have not yet fully mapped out their whole plan of action. But there will be hot times in the court room when Senator Simpson opens fire on the defense witnesses.
 Yesterday being my mothers birthday l was glad court was not in session. l went out to Van Liew cemetery in New Brunswick to put flowers on her grave. Dear mother, sleeping there so peacefully-and all this fuss and all this suffering, just because she loved too well.
 Grim poverty against naughty wealth. A weak, sick voice against the thunder of strong voices. A pale woman lying there on the white sheets of an ordinary brown iron bed before the judges bench. A buzz, and then a hush in the crowd ed court room.
 Mrs. Gibson is on the witness stand" accusing Mrs. Hall and her two brothers of the murder of my mother and Dr. Hall
 In this moment forget the awful ness of the crime. I am thrilled with the tense drama of 1t all. I am filled with admiration for Mrs. Gib- son.
 She faces the judges. She speaks in such low voice that the court stenographer must repeat her an- swers. Willie Stevens leans for ward, intensely interested. Henry Stevens cups hand over his ear so that he will not miss a word. Mrs Hall, woman of iron. keeps her cold eyes on the judges, away from Mrs. Gibson. If she is innocent, why does she not face Mrs. Gibson? God only knows what is going on in her mind

1t consists of this ration: Breakfast,

glasses of hot water with a little salt
in it. At least half an hour should

Current on the Rampage.

A few years ago an event occurred
which will long remain famous in
science, though now scarcely re-
membered by most people. The
Humboldt current which sweeps the
shores of Western South America
shifted out of its normal course. One
result was a change in climate. The
countries of the coast were normally
dry and possessed few trees. The
climate changed to a rainy one, and
there being no trees to hold the
earth in place or take up the excess
water, the bare dry lands Of Peru
were torn by great floods, killing
many people. Also the fish on which
the famous guano birds Of the Peru
Wan and Chilean coast chiefly feed
followed the current as 1t took it's
erratic course. The birds, unable to
find food, starved to death by thou
sands, and Uttered the coast for
miles.
Now what do you know about that?
Answers to Yesterdays Questions.
/. The chestnut blight came from
eastern Asia.
2. 1t got it's start on Long Island
about % years ago.
8. The Hessian fly came from
Europe.
A. The boil weevil came from Mexico.
5. The white pine blister rust came
apparently from Germany, but it
seems probable that it existed here
first of all in an obscure state, spread
to Germany and returned here with
great vigor.
6. Wild plants often have diseases
as cultivated ones do, but generally
not so yirulently.

WHEN WE co SHOPPING
BY MRS. HARLAND HI. ALLEN.

Some cling tightly to the old white

marble cold, however, and have re-
sorted to the use of white glazed
paper. and marbelized paper Some
marbeliZed paper is made in a soft
cream color, or white with black or
blue veins
One of the prettiest bathroom pa
pers is Toile de Jouy, which is slightly
aged to take off it's white background,
and it is prepared for bathroom use
by being treated with a rubber chem
ical to make it waterproof The beau
tiful simple scenes on the paper make
it lovely wall covering.
Wallpaper with trellis designs
green ivy leaves on a deep cream
glazed background, is also suitable.
Often the woodwork can be painted to
harmonic with the paper, and even
the doors themselves. In this case
the lower part of the walls might be
tiled in white, and the woodwork
painted a deep cream, and lined with
green. The doors might be painted
solid green with cream decoration
on the panels. Be your own interior
decorator. Know what you want,

Food Superstitions.

A hundred years ago physicians
thought they had to be constantly
correcting nature and that if they did
not do so harm would come TO their
patients. Now the aim of the physi-
clan is to follow nature and to help
Der at all times. Fewer drugs are
given and more dependence put on
nourishing food.
Because some food combination or
even one food has disagreed with old
Mrs. Smith. legend has grown up
in the neighborhood that such a food
combination will upset everybody.
Food superStitionS persist.
There is not a single food in the
whole world which may not be taboo
for some person who has a personal
idiosyncrasy for It, But it Is well to
be sure that the idiosyncrasy is real
and not imagined.
One doctor tells about an elderly
patient of his for whom it was neces-
sary to prescribe eggs. This old gen.
tleman had been living almost ex
clusively on starches and milk. He
had not eaten eggs for 80 years be-
cause he believed they disagreed with
him When his diabetic condition
made it necessary to substitute eggs
for starch he was sure he was going
to suffer Indigestion. However, he
was induced to take the eggs and no
Ill effects resulted.
Fruits do not cause rheumatism.
This trouble is now believed to be the
result of some particular infection.
Oranges, lemons, grapefruit, apples,
pears, peaches are beneficial rather
than harmful in rheumatism. They
make the blood alkaline instead of
acid and they are helpful to a rheu-
matte person.
Red meat is no more harmful than
white meat. Any person who is al
lowed meat in the diet can eat beef
as we'll as chicken. If meat is not
allowed, neither chicken, fish or meat
extracts or broths should be taken.
The color has nothing to do with the
matter.
Veal is just as digestible as chicken
or beef. Properly cooked, it is deli
cious and digestible. The French give
it to invalids as delicacy just as we
Americans give chicken. Pork does
require more effort of the stomach
and weak digestive systems cannot
negotiate pork,
Milk and acid. fruits are a digest
ible combination for the majority of
us. Any digestive disturbance that
follows this combination could most
likely be traced to a large supply of
additional other foods. Of course.
sour fruit curdles milk, but that is
all right If the milk does not curdle
before it is eaten, curdling takes place
