SO THIS IS GEORGIA Jtaso iMaxcy, a middle aged negro of Jackson county, made an accomodation loan to a white man. When the loan fell duo the white man refused or failed t opay it. The negro then proceeded . In a lawful manner to collect a legal debt. The white man accom panied by live others, all masked, went to tho negro's house un der cover of darkness, took him out, shot him and left him in a rlyer to die. The negro cVnwled out of tho river, returned to Jefferson and reported the affair to the officers. That Is one side of the story. The other side is this: The Grand Jury of Jackson county composed of twenty-three good and truo men. in session Friday, returned an Indictment against six men charged with assault with Intent to murder Ihe negro Fine! The action of tile Craml Jury vindicates Georgia In tills particular case. It says in dffect: "The good people of Geor gia made this state. They through years of honest effort and fair dealing establlsncd good credit with outside t-ipkal and made tho land values what they arc. The property they own represents u life time of hard work. Tho constituted authorities of Jackson county are going to protect the law abiding citizen within its bounduarlcs. bo ho white or black. They are going to protect the property he has accumulated. The masked outlaw contributes noth ing to the upbuilring of a community. He drives labor away. Ho curtails production. Ho destroys property values. He robs us of our good name. He must move out of Jackson county or he will be moved to the penitentiary whero he belongs.'’ ' Hurrah, for Jackson county! Jackson now takes its pla'O along with Oconee as the two leading Georgia counties in law ^ enforcement. • A tnan who operates In a masked crowd hasn't tho courage of a wild duck. Ho will assassinate in the dark, but a twenty ' horse team couldn't draw hlmlnto a fair fight with a man upon equal terms. Tho aggressive action acaln3t mob violence by the authori ties of Jackcan and Oconee counties marks the beginning of tho end of the hooded hoodlum. , . Yes. This Is Georgia and we are proud of tho grand old state. DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU? A Little ol Everything And Not Much of Anything. .

"Beneath her calm 'and earnest face thcrealies A spirit endowed with vision deep and clear; Majestic courngc, faith that never yields to fear." Further along Mrs. Stillman con cludes her poem with two stan- zar. through which there pulsates the spirit of loyalty and unswerv- Inf affection entertained for Miss Rutherford by her "girls”—both, of today and the long ago. "Wo bring to her our fondest love and praise. Who shaped our livea and -made them strong nnd good; For others alio has labored all her days. Forming a holy bond of sister hood. Our love for her Is not a fading flower, - • Hut ever fresh and tender, even green;- Through day and night, through sun nnd ntorm amt shower, Its living be-iuty keeps our lives sorene.” Hudson Maxim has been in. vited to visit Athenx. That’c cheering news and he should put in a busy day here. You know Mr. Maxim’s the inventor of the “Mixlm Silen cer,” which alienees anything from a rapid firin' gatlln’ gun to the deluded Idealiet who preachee that “there'll be no more war ituff.” Here’s hoping he comes. Joining with the “Associa tion of the Army of the U. 8." toe Kiwanli and Rotary clube (who probably had an idea of him getting in aome effective work on long winded artists ameng their own ranka)—in extending the invitation are tho following organizations: Grand Order of Hen-Pecked Husband*. “3 o’clock In the Morning” Bsby- In-Arm* Club. Anti-Bill Collector’* Union. Flappers Fraternity. 6ociety for the Suppression of Soup Gurglers. Soldiers' Bonus Qro'ip, and— The Butter Keaton Boys. If these “organizations" can suc ceed In having Mr. Maxim silence those opposed to their -’’creeds'' they feel that his visit here will have been highly successful. And speaking of putting th* muffler on, what about includ ing those. “100 per cent Amer icans” who believe th* time te go to war It when the enemy ha* landed In San Francisco, Ney York, Charleston, Savan nah and a few other strategic points, thereby anabling them to get to far back in the mountains and away from the recruiting statlone that even a moonshiner wouldn’t find them. That’s a fine idea. Who did win that laat war anyway? It aeema that Germany, at least, didn”t lose it.
