NEGRO BRAKEMAN IS
KILLED WEDNESDAY NIGHT
I
John Chandler Meets Thagic Death
Under Wheels of Gainesville
Midland Train.
John Chandkr, one cf the best ne
groes of this section, met a tragic
death at Campton, Ga. Wednesday
night about 7:30 p. in.
John was a brakeman on the
Gainesville Midland local freight
train, and was said to be the most
faithful on the road, respectful to
white people and attenitve to Hte
business of the company. He was a
son of Henry Chandler, another good
negro of this section.
Wednesday evening about 0:30 the
local freight left Winder lor Monroe,
with John at bis brake.
It is said that the Monroe Tele
phone Company on yesterday stretch
ed some wires across the ailroad
track near Campton. The negro,
who was at his post on top of a box

GERMANY HAS DECLARED
RUTHLESS SEA WARFARE
A Starvation Blockade of England
Announced to Washington Wed
nesday by Count von Bern
storff.
Washington, Jan. 31. Germany
has declared unrestricted submarine
warfare.
A starvation blockade of England,
the like of winch the world uever has
seen, was announced today in notes
delivered to American Ambassadoi
Gerard in Berlin and to the state de
partment here by Count von Bern
storff.
Thus begins the long-feared cam
paign of ruthlessness, conceived by
von Hindenberg, it is said here, on
a magnitude never contemplated by
von Tirpitz.
Again the United Sates faces sev
erance of diplomatic relations with
Germany, with all its eventual possi
bilites. Presiden Wilson’s repeated
warnings of “a world afire,” and
Secretary Lansing’s “verge of war”
statement, are bemg recalled with
feelings of apprehension and mis
giving.
Germany’s action *s the supercrisis
of all those that have stirred the
American government in two and a
half years of world war.
Peace in Europe and means of pre
serving the peace of the world has
gone glimmering.
President Wilson, incredulous at
first when the unofficial text of Ger
many's warning was brough to him,
at once called for the official docu
ment which had just been presented
to Secretary Lansing by the German
ambassador. Mr. Lansing refused to
make a comment. President Wilson
began at once a careful study of the
document.
Admitedly the plan is to carry
starvation to the doors of England
with swift, staggering strokes as a
fullfillment of Germany’s announced
determination to use every weapon
and agfncy at her command to end
the war quickly. She counts on the
operations of an unheard-of number,
of submarines to deliver blows to
bring England to her knees within
sixty days. One German official here
prediced today the war w'ould b ov
er in a month.
Miss Pearl Farrar arrived Wednes
day for a visit to her sister, Mrs. R
O. Ross.

WINDER HIGH DE
FEATS AUBURN HIGH
One of the most exciting basket
ball games of the season was staged
Friday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock on
the Winder High School court be
ween Winder and Auburn. Auburn
had one of the stiffest Bttle teams
in this part of the country and the
cleanest, but after a hard fight she

beginning, and many feature plays
were made by both teams. About

WALL STREET GAMBLERS
FLIRTING WITH COTTON
The American cotton market broke
$25 a bale over the closing prjee
Wednesday evening when it opened
Thursday morning for May.
Thursday morning May opened at
14.2. T declined to 12.30, gained 400
points and stood at 16.05 when this
was written, 161 points lower than
Wednesday’s close.
Evidently the gamblers were flirt
ing with the hoard, the possible ex
cu.~e for this flirtation being Ger
many’s declaration to carry on a
ruthless sea warfare.
Tihis break did not effect the spot
market to any appreciable extent,
but this board gambling, if margins
were taken, would make and unmake
for unes in a minute, demoralize bus!
ness and injure the country.
Congress should look into this mat
ter and pass laws to prvent the
opening of gambling 1 cotton ex
changes when such unwarranted tuna
hies in prices occurs.
