LATEST NEWS
OF THE LANGSTON
MURDER MYSTERY
From the hour of the gruesome- dis
covery of the body of James Langston,
murdered near Kite Lake, in the north
ern part of Fayette county, Saturday,
October 28, while in the discharge of
his duty as rural mail carrier, on Route
3, from Fairburn, Ga„ the public has
waited patiently for some definite re
sults from the number of sleuths at
work on the case, together with the
daily theories of th^ city press.
Be it said, there has been a foul
murder committed, and, at this writing,
by unknown parties, whether the cor
oner’s jury could find this fact or not
wei are not responsible for the coro
ner’s jury—the fact is still before them,
they may yet return such verdict.
Indignant citizens of Fairburn, Ga.,
raised sufficient funds to employ
sleuths toi ferret out the crime and
detect the murderers. The governor
has issued a proclamation offering
$500 reward for the apprehension of
the guilty parties. There’s been a leak
somewhere, and, inside information haS|
been divulged to the city press, and
their stories have been published and
read by 1 the sleuths themselves sitting
in their high-powered Hudson speedster,
in front of the postoffice at Fayette
ville, before the movements of the
sleuths already published had been
made. /
There have been, however, two
founds of justice trailing along this
.case. Noi two more efficient and de
termined men are there to be found,
and, with the removal of other inter
ference, these two jump dogs of jus
tice may be expected at any moment
to be upon a hot trail that will speed
ily apprehend the murderer or mur
derers of honest James Langston.
Arthur Alexander, Jim Adams and
Charlie Waller are in the jail at Fay
etteville as suspects.
Pony Thompson squealed on John
Waller for keeping him in servitude
for the last eight years, and John is
to appear before the United States dis
trict court upon a charge of peonage,
pending which he is out on bond.
Noah Turner,, Deputy Sheriff of Fay
ette, and W. J. Windosr, of Palmetto,
are after Langston’s murderers, and
some one has said they would rather
fight the devil, single-handed, than to
have one of these human hounds trail
ing them.

HOLDS BIBLE
TO BE “SECTA
RIAN BOOK”
California Court Makes
Drastic Decision Re
garding the Bible
in the Schools.
Washington, |Nov. 9.^(Capital News
Service.)—The King James version of
the Bible ‘‘is the accepted Protestant
version” and, therefore, sectarian, the
(supreme court of California has decid
ed in an opinion just made public re
versing a judgment of a supreme court
in Kings county, which permitted the
Selma Union High School district to
purchase two copies of the Bible for
the school library.
The court held the acquisition of the
Bibles by the school would be in direct
violation ,of the school law.
At the same time this decision was
rendered, a prominent woman’s club-
in the nation’s capital formed a “non
sectarian” class for the study of tha
Book held “sectarian” in California.
A majority of the educators of ,the
Capital City, whether or not they be
lieve in the use of the Bible as a
foundation for public school study, are
united in believing that the King James
Bible is as non-sectarian as a book
can be, since it is* the foundation of
the teachings of every Christian relig
ion, with one notable exception, and its
Old Testament is used in many Jewish
synagogues.
Many educators believe that the Sun
day School and the home are thei
places for Bible study, and that relig
ious instruction does not belong in
the- public school, but hold that the
premises on which California is keep
ing the Bible from the public school
library is a mistaken one.

Hardwick to Fight
County Unit System
In His New Paper
\
Governor Hardwick’s announcement
Friday that he will fight for the abo
lition of the county unit system of
primary elections created quite a stir
in political circles. The county unit
system is so firmly established that
no politician has had the temerity
to oppose it since 1906, when Hoke
Smith broke it down for two short
years. Governor Hardwick announces
that his weekly paper, to be started
about the first of January, will carry 1
on a campaign for abolition of the
county unit system.
The governor said he regards it as
the most iniquitous and vicious piece
of political machinery ever devised in
any state in the union—a system that
“creates rings which bid off their
counties, that encourages wire-pulling
and improper use of money, that sets
up pocket borough for political traf
fic.”
Governor Hardwick on Saturday
made public a prospectus of ^iis pa
per which he is broadcasting over
the state. He has changed the name
from the “Georgia Cracker” to the
“Georgia Democrat,” in deference to
the fact that the students of the Uni
versity of Georgia are using the name
“Cracker” for their college publica
tion.
The governor’s prospectus announ
ces that 4113 weekly will be a paper
which will "say what it darn pleases
about everybody and everything.

ings where she has sought votes. Shs

surfacing before using.
