ANTI-LYNCHING SENTIMENT
CONTINUES TO GROW
ATLANTA,. Ga., .(Special, to. the
Progress)—That there has been a
surprising increase of anti-lynching
sentiment In Georgia recently and a
growing determination on the part of
Georgia people that the sanctity of
the law must be upheld, was clearly
indicated' in reports made to the State
Committee on Race Relations in smi
annual meeting in tills city Thursday.
It was pointed out that during the
present year twenty two indictments
have been returned t against alleged
lynchers and four convictions secur
ed, carrying penitentiary sentences.
Fifteen cases are still to be tried, be
sides a number of damage suits grow
ing out of injuries and losses inflicted
by mobs. The significance of this
was emphasied by the statement that
in the 37 years ending with 1921 there
had been 430 lynchings in Georgia and
that record of only one indictment in
all that time had been found.
The State and county race relations
committees have been active in a
number of recent cases, co*ducting
investigations, securing evidence, and'
otherwise supporting local officials
in their efforts to vindicate the law
The need of an effective anti-lynch
ing law in the State was stressed and
the responsibility for drafting and
getting such a bill before the next
legislature was delegated to a com
mittee consisting of Judges Samuel B.
Adams, Andrew J. Cobh, W. H. Bar
rett, and Hon. Marvin E. Underwood.
Mrs. Z. 1. Fitzpatrick, Miss Mary Dick
t
erson, and Miss Rosa Woodberry.
Mrs. W. A. Albright of Atlanta made
a report of the work which is being
done by the woman's section of the
comrtiittee, which is concerned chief
ly with the welfare of colored women
and children in the matters of health,
education- and legal protection. At a
meeting of this group, Mrs. Albright
was elected chairman, Mrs. a. R. Law
ton, of Savannah, Vice-Chairman, and
Miss Rosa Woodberry, secretary and
treasurer.
The meeting of the State Commit
tee was. well attended, among 'those
noted as present being Dr. M. Ashby
Jones, chairman, Dr. T. J. Woof ter,
secretary, Bishop F. S. Reese, Bishop

TIV() GOOD JUDGES
Judge Robert N. Hardeman, of
Louisville, Ga., who has been holding
court in Atlanta for one of our local
judges is, not only of the best trial
judges in Georgia, but one of the most
popular Citizens in the state.
Judge Hardeman was a member of
the Legislature several times, where
lie acquitted himself with great dis
tinction. Many observers) think he
was the best chairman of the rules
committee the House has had within
a decade.
Not a great while ago Judge Ed
mand Shirley held court in Atlanta
for Judge Humphries—another splen
did Georgian, and thoroughly approv
ed judge.
It is a pleasure and a satisfaction
to Atlanta to have these gentlemen
here. Both have many warm personal
friends, and both have" won the un
stinted respect and esteem of the
local bar.—James B. Nevin in Atlanta
