Jones, of Forsyth county, today telephoned Governor Joseph 11. Brown, asking that troops be sent here with the two negroes who are to be hangeu tomorrow. He declared that feeling is so intense officials of the county feared attempts would be made to lynch the negroes before they could be legally ex ecuted. The ordinary sent this message at the request of Sheriff W. W. Reid, who is now en route to Atlanta to bring the prisoners back to Cumming. He is making the trip by automobile through the country. The Forsyth county jail being too small to accommodate a scaffold, the structure has been erected in a field about one-half mile from the court house. A fifteen-foot fence, inclosing a plot of ground about 30 feet square, has been erected around the scaffold. The law requires that legal executions be conducted privately, but the local officers fear that the fence might be demolished and the negroes lynched unless military protection be provided. A large crowd is expected in Cum ming- tomorrow. There has not been a legal execution In Forsyth county in 51 years, and the double hanging of to morrow has created a great deal of ex citement throughout the county. ILLINOIS CENTRAL’S .

PINK VOTE PLAN SEEMSDOOMED democratic Committee Sees Too Much Danger Ahead in Anti-Bolting Scheme. The state Democratic executive com mittee may abandon its plan to require all voters for Wilson and Marshall elec tors to cast a “pink'' ticket in the No vember presidential election. It has been pointed out that to do this would amount to intimidation and duress, and that it might serve to in validate the entire election, in the event the point were raised in legal protest,- The state committee frankly says that its idea is to catch “bolters." in order that they may be barred from fu ture Democratic primaries. Lawyers hold that this anTounts to a threat, however, and plainly conflicts with both the state and Federal statutes. Moreover, there seems to be a. grow ing resentipent throughout the state against that which is conceived to be an attempt upon the part of the com mittee to poke its nose too far into the ballot on November—that #ren if a man did wish to vote for somebody other than Wilson and Marshall elec tors, he should be permitted to do so without necessarily putting the state committee on notice in the matter. The idea of the “pink” ticket was conceived, of course, in a genuine desire to protect the Democratic party, but the impression iias grown into practically a conviction in many minds that the pres idential election is not precisely the fit and proper place for that protection to be sought, and particularly through a scheme that might endanger thy electoral vote of the state.

Oct. 24.—According to lite •'.‘Gil Blas,” the Baroness Vaughan, the morganatic wife of the late King Leo pold of Belgian, will ■shortly be mar ried to a well known Parisian. The Baroness Vaughan was Caroline Delacroix, the Roumanian girl with the violet eyes who attracted the attention of King I -eopold during one of his visits of pleasure in Paris, and became his morganatic wife. After theb. morganatic marriage, which, though unrecognized by the law of Belgium, had the blessing of the church, the king created her Baroness Vaughan, and endowed her with the riche.- of tin blood-stained Congo Free State. He created a new peerage for that rubber inferno and in order to avoid causing scandal by creating her a baroness of Belgium, he gave he: a peerage in the Congo. Tiic next members of the nobility of Congo were the baroness’ two sons, one of whom was created Due de Terureren and the other Comte de Ravenstein. It was said that, the king settled $6,000,000 out of the profits of his Congo domains on.Xhese children. Some time after Leopold's death the Baroness Vaughan married M. Amem iel Dtirieux, a former lieutenant in the French army, who had acted for many years as the steward of her estates. The bridegroom was 47. and the bride said she was 27. Six months later she obtained a c vorce from her new husband.
