AN EXPLANATION
In reference to the discussion
of the baseball game Thursday,
we must admit that our ‘conclu
sions must have been over hasty.
The gist of our information was
from one of our baseball ‘players
over the telephone and the rest
was rumors which were generally
considered to be true. In our en
thusiasm for the home team and
in view of the known fact that
the Dawson fans ARE what
might be termed a trifle agressive
we considered our remarks justi
fied. ; v
We are sorry we brought per
sonalities into the question as it
is the policy of the Leader-Enter
prise to stand on principle and not
individual differeaces.— Sporting
Editor.

SHALL THE COUNTY UNIT
PLAN BE MADE PERMA
- NENT
Atlanta, Ga., July . 12.—Shall
the county unit rule be made a
permanent institution in Georgia
primaries ?
Shall the rule be written into
the law of the state, thereby com
pelling all political parties to con
duct their state-wide primaries in
accordance with it?
This is the issue raised by the
primary bills which were resumed
today in the house of representa
tives and which are expected to
hold the boards for several days.
The Dills are two in ftumber
and véry similar in their provis
ion. The first provides that state
wide primaries of all political par
ties shall be held on the second
Wednesday in September; that
the county rule shall prevail ; that
the candidate receiving the high
est county unit vote shall be de
clared the nominee by the con
vention, and that wher two can
didates for the county vote tie the
candidate receiving ' the highest
poular vote shall be declared the
nominee,
The second provides that the
statewide primaries of all politi
cal parties shall be held on the
second Wednesday in Septem
ber; that the county unit rule
shall prevail; that a majority of
the county unit votes shall be re
quired to nominate ; that the can
didate receiving a majority of
county unit votes shall be declar
ed the nominee by the state exe
cutive committee:; that where
more than two candidates run for
an office and neither receives a
majority of the county unit vote,
the wto leading candidates shall
decide the issue in a second pri
mary to be held on the first Wed
nesday in October.
The county unit rule has been a
burning issue in Georgia politics
for years.
ANTI-LYNCHING BILLS
Atlanta, July s.—Watm debate
has been precipitated by discus
sion of the companion bills intro
duced by Representative Full
bright providing for anti-lynch
,ing legislation. . The measures
penalize sheriffs when lynchings
occur, by the loss of their office.
The measures were sent to a sub
committee for further considera
tion.
Mr. Fullbright declared . that
the sheriffs were generally to
blame in that most of the time
they were negligent and careless
in their efforts in prevent lynch
ing. Generally, he stated, they
knew when lynchings were to be
pulled off. “It is mighty seldom,”
he said, “that a mob attempts a
lynching unless the members
know the sheriff is in sympathy
with them.” He also declared that
this feeling was encouraged by
the fact that the sheriff knows
the men of the mob will vote for
him.
The bills were vigorously at
tacked by Mr. Blackburn of Ful
ton county. He claimed that the
bills practically deprived the
sheriff of office without a trial;
that the provision preventing him
ever holding office again was
harsh and unfair; and that it cen~
tered too much power in the
Governor. He claimed there was
already sufficient law to prevent
lyrchings and that the only effi
cient remédYis education.
