SENATE DEBATES
WILSONMESSAGE
Washington, May 12.—President
Wilson’s recent call to his party to
stand “four square” on the treaty is
sue in the campaign played a prom
inent part today in the senate battle
over the republican peace resollution.
Criticism and defense of the president
was voiced. Senator Thomas, demo
crat, Colorado, being among those who
assailed Mr. Wilson’s position, declar
ing it meant “disolution” of the demo
cratic party.
The Colorado senator was opposing
tlie peace resolution but he took occa
sion to express resentment against the
imputation which he declared the pres
cient placed upon senators who had
voted for treaty reservations, that their
action involved “dishonor.”
Senator Hitchcock defended the ad
ministration and said that the presi
dent in his teleegram to Oregon demo
crats had “simply declared his devo
tion to the league of nations and de
nounced the Lodge reservations.”

HOLLIS LANDERS
BURIED AT WALNUT
Just one day before he reached legal
manhood, Hollis Landers pays the
penalty for his crime in the little jail
over at Jefferson.
Faithful to their oaths, the lawyers
representing young Landers did every
thing possible under the law to save
the young man’s life. Twice was nis
case before the supreme court, twice
before the prison commission and twice
before the governor. '< But the law
said Hollis Landers must pay—a life
for a life.
Wc are told that this young man
met his fate without a word that would
indicate remorse or sorrow at his pre
dicament. He mounted the scaffold
unassisted, and without a tremor stood
ready for Sheriff Pendergrass to pull
the little white cord that would plunge
him through the trap to eteridty.
The trap was sprung just, before
noon, and in 18 minutes after the fall
young lenders was pronounced dead.
His body was taken down and brought
to Winder. Mr. C. M. Ferguson, our
local undertaker, prepared the body
for burial. Saturday morning many
of those who knew Hollis in life for
the last time viewed his body.
Hollis Landers was a line specimen
of young manhood, and one could not
fail to speculate as to what might
have been had he not clashed with the
laws of his state.
The little patient mother and sad
faced father of Hollis have the deep
sympathy of hosts of friends in this
section. They are good people and hold
the esteem of neighbors who will mingle
their tears with those of the bcreaVbd
in this tragic sorrow.
The funeral occurred Saturday af
ternoon at Walnut church, in the up
per part of Jackson county. Revs. Col
lins, father and son, conducted the
services.
Landers was charged with the killing
of Sheriff Cliff Barber in January,
1918, when the sheriff and a deputy
went to Landers’ home to arrest him
on two warrants. He was captured in
Gainesville, after a long chase, and
tried last year. The jury found him
guilty without recommendation for
mercy anil Judge Andrew J. Cobb im
posed the only penalty the law pro
vides for a straight verdict of guilty
in a case of murder to which there are
eye-witnesses.

Community Chautauqua Will Bring to
Winder Fine Attractions This Year.
Fine Feathers, a Real Broadway
Play With Broadway
Players.
The Community Chautauqua is soon
to be with us again. t This is said to ba
America's 1 greatest) Chautauqua sys
tem, and the advance program reach
ing this office would indicate that, this
year's attractions for Winder will sur
pass anything yet put on in this city.
The program will begin May 27th and
close May 31st.
We remember that only a few weeks
ago petitions signed bj 400 or 500 peo
ple were presented to our city author
ities asking that no other carnivals be
allowed to come this way.
Now that the opportunity is present
ed for these same people to rally to
something worth while we are wonder
ing what kind of support they are go
ing to give the Chautauqua.
It is a well established fact that if
you are going to put down the evil and
the bad you must supply the good. This
is the time and the opportunity for
those who deplore carnivals to make
good by encouraging and patronizing
high class amusement.
“Fine Feathers,” a real Broadway
play with real Broadway players, is
coming. This play is a mighty protest
against certain \t-rongs of present day
society, it is a clean, wholesome sermon
that makes better men and women of
those who see and hear the play.
Then there will appear the Allpress
ull-star company. Did you ever hear vio
I ins talk to each other? Well, come and
listen to Thomas Allpress’ violin hold a
lively conversation entited “The Soul of
the Violin” with Marcello Coyle’s ’cello.
Opera, yes. we are going to have
opera. Possibly not grand opera, but
the kind common folks can understand.
This number is composed of six at
tractive young ladies and they will
keep you smiling and happy as they
play and sing “Linger Longer Letty,”
“Sometime” and “Yokohama Maid.”
The local organization for this year’s
chautuuqua is announced as follows.
J. P. Cash, president.
J. V. Henson, vice president.
P. C. Pentecost, secretary-treasurer.

total $2.75. Junior tickets including
