SMITH MAY PROVIDE A CANDIDATE, Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 16.-Is Gov. Hoke Smith grooming Hooper Alexander, of DeKalb, as a can didate for the gubernatorial suc cession? Signs portend that this is the trend. It is known that no one yet in the field, or “among those mentioned,” is believed to repre sent sufficient strength to carry the Smith wing to succes in the gubernatorial Marathon. It is rumored that Governor Smith and his close advisors have about decided that the gentleman from DeKalb is the man on whom their strength should be concen trated. If he does run, of course, he will run on a prohibition plat form, and this may bring the liquor question into sharp issue in the campaign. Mr. Alexander has always been a most ardent champion of Gov ernor Smith, personally and po litically. He has pressed Smith reforms in the legislature and be fore the people. The governor - senator has no stronger personal friend or more ardent political follower than Mr. Alexander. So, there is no doubt tnat he would be more acceptable to the governor personally than almost any other man. That he will make the race on the Smith plat form, supplemented by a straight prohibition issue is the growing belief here. Mr. Alexander’s strenuons fight to force the Tippins bill through is an indication that he wants the people of the state to know what he is doing to help prohibition. Mr. Alexander’s entry would probably result in immediately forcing ex-Governor Brown into the race. Then lively times would be on. Mr. Alexander is almost as forceful a campaigner as Governor. OF VAST BENEFIT TO STATE SCHOOLS. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 15.—The general educational bill prepared by the house committee and pass ed by the house about two weeks ago has passed the senate with minor amendments, and will be come a law as soon as it is signed by Governor Hoke Smith. The bill is in line with reforms which Governor Smith urged in his special message and has been advocating for some time past. It creates a state board of educa tion to be composed of the gov ernor, the state school commis sion and appointed by the gover nor, the appointments to be con firmed by the senate. By special amendment, the law will carry a provision that no man who is connected with a book publishing concern, or who has ever been connected with such a concern, shall be eligible to serve on the board. By the formation of a strong administrative state board, clothed with real power, it is hop ed to work great benefits in the Georgia school system, especially for the develoment of the rural schools. Senator Beauchamp of the 22nd and Senator Sheppard of the 13th led the fight for the bill, but af ter the first Crawford substitute was voted down it was clear sailing. None of the amend ments will prove distasteful to the house, it is believed. Improved Ginnery. The undersigned have formed a partnership for the purpose of operating the ginnery at Uvalda, and in this we wish to ask the patronage of the public.

Gibbs, The U valda Ginnery. IN MEMORIAM. , On the afternoon of May the 26th, 1911, God, in His infinite wisdom, saw fit to remove from this earth Mr. Jas. H. Odom, a good citizen, a loyal Mason and a consistent Christian. While his death came suddenly his daily walk in life had been such that he was prepared to meet his Maker without a moment’s warn ing for preparation. At the time of his death Mr. Odom was in the 68th year of his life, and he was born and spent practically his entire lifetime in this immediate neighborhood. He was married on April the 24th, 1873 to Miss Jane McNatt, who, together with two sons, Messrs. P. H. and Alex Odom of Florida, and three daughters, Mesdames T. J. Coursey, J. L. Gibson and G. W. Dickerson, all of this county, survive him. One son, Mr. Dan Odom, preceded him to the grave several years ago. Mr. Odom united with the Methodist church about 40 years ago, and had since been a faithful and consistent member, taking a leading part in the church work of his community. He had also been a member of the Masonic fraternity for many years, and was a character member of Vi dal ia Lodge No. 330. Whereas, in the death of Bro. Odom our order has lost one of its most faithful members and the county one of its best citi zens, and whereas, he was ever ready to assist in every under taking for the betterment of his community and humanity in general, therefore be it resolved: Ist. That in the death of Bro. Odom Vidalia Lodge No. 330 F. & A. M. sustains a loss that will be hard to replace, a man of hon or, character, ability and loyalty, who will be greatly missed by his state and county and neigh bors. 2nd. That his family has lost a true and loving husband and father, a friend, indeed, whose wisdom and counsel will be sorely missed. 3rd. That the Masonic fra ternity has lost one of its most loyal and faithful adherents, Bro. Odom being one of the oldest Masons in this section. 4th. That the sympathy of this lodge be extended to the grief-stricken family of our de ceased brother. sth. That a copy of these res olutions and preamble be fur nished the family of the deceased brother, a copy be recorded upon the minutes of this lodge and a copy be furnished the county papers for publication. Respectfully submitted, Jas. M. Meadows, S. D. Morris, Thos. Thompson, M. A. McQueen. Committee. Unanimously adopted by Vida lia Lodge No. 330 F. & A. M., Vidalia, Ga., Saturday, August sth. 1911. JUDGE LYNCH HOLDS SWAY IN PENNSYLVANIA. Coatesville, Pa., Aug. 13. Zachariah Walker, a negro des perado, was carried on a cot from the hospital here tonight and burned to a crisp by a frenzied mob of men and boys. The negro, who last night shot and killed Edgar Rice, a special policeman of the Worth Iron Mills, was first dragged to the scene of shooting, begging pite ously for mercy. He had been arrested by a posse late this afternoon after a search which had stirred the country side. The posse finally found him hiding in a cherry t tree. The negro with the last; bullet in his revolver, shot him- j self in the mouth, falling from ! the tree. He was removed to j the hospital and placed under j ' 'guard. A few minutes after 9 o’clock i a crowd numbering about 1,000 persons appeared at the hospital. ■ THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, AUGUST 17, *l9ll. 1 Vreeland and Witham. jj Is “While Congressman Vreehind’s suggestions, made upon his recent visit to || H Atlanta, attracted considerable attention and were good, it had not, in all prob §l ability, been noticed generally how nearly his suggestions have been in operation H for a number of years in the Witham banking system in Georgia and in the H South—and with what good results. “This system has in operation the plan of a central bank, emergency currency, insurance of deposits, centaal clearing H house and improued auditing system. “And it is a notable fact that out of ap- H proximately 100 banks working under this system none have failed while con- H nected with it.” & g?

When Walker was first taken to the hospital, he was strapped down in order to prevent his es cape. The mob, seeing this, gathered up the bed and placing j it on the shoulders of four men, • started for the country. When half a mile from the hospital they entered a field and quickly ‘ gathering up a pile of dry grass i and weeds, placed the bed con- j taining their victim upon it. A match was applied and the flames shot up quickly, entirely enshrouding the screaming vic tim. That not a vestige of the murderer be left, the mob tore down the fence along the road and piled the rails upon the burn ing negro. After waiting for half an hour the mob dispersed. A curious feature of the burning' was the fact that there were al most as many women in the crowd as men. During the march from the hospital to the scene of burning of the negro not a policeman was encountered by the mob. Even ] the man on duty in the hospital made no effort to stop the lead ers, who gained admittance to the institution. The only masks worn by mem bers of the mob were handker chiefs drawn over their faces.
