WORTH EXTENDS
INDIANA ENVOY
WARM GREETING
ASSURED NEGRO WILL NOT BE
IN DANGER IF RETURNED
TO GEORGIA.
SYLVESTER, Ga.—W. A. Guthrie,
envoy of Governor Warren T. Mc¬
Crary, of Indiana, to Worth county,
to determine whether the Constitu¬
tional rights of the United States
would be upheld if he granted requis¬
ition papers for Mace Giddens,
a negro wanted here for mur¬
der, arrived here Monday and was
given a cordial reception.
The Indiana delegation of one ar¬
rived here unheralded this morning.
It was reported by local authorities
returning from Indianapolis and East
Chicago, Ind., where Giddens is being
held, that the governor would send a
committee composed of three men,
composed of one negro and two white
men, to make the investigation.
Awaited on by Delegation.
, Immediately after it was learned
that Guthrie had put in his appear¬
ance, citizens of the city and Worth
county called upon him and made it
plain that they were eager to render
any aid possible in the investigation,
not only as to the matter of this
particular killing, but as to existing
conditions generally.
Guthrie made a favorable impres¬
sion upon those who met him, he as¬
suring them that it was not the pur¬
pose of the State of Indiana or Gov.
McCrary to attempt to harbor crimi¬
nals, but that the Governor did want
first-hand information on the situa¬
tion inasmuch as Giddens’ plea is to
the effect that if he be taken back to
Worth county he would meet with
mob violence.
At a mass meeting of about 150 of
the most influential and best citizens
of Sylvester and Worth county, held
at the court house, a strong resolu¬
tion was adopted and addressed to the
Indiana Governor. The resolution
was submitted to the envoy to be
taken back with him. It is believed
that Guthrie’s report will be in line
with the resolution.
Resolution Condemns Mob Violence.
The resolution condemned in strong
terms mob violence and any disre¬
gard for the law and assuring the
Governor that the citizens would see
to it that if the defendant, Mace Gid¬
dens, is returned here, he will be
given every protection and will have
a speedy, fair and impartial trial.

Guthrie will leave tonight for In¬
diana.
Giddens shot and killed Deputy
Sheriff Giddens, when the latter at¬
tempted to serve a warrant on him
for being a fugitive. The negro es¬
caped from this state, but was recent¬
ly apprehended in Chicago,Ind. He
at first waived extradition papers,
but the negro population of East Chi¬
cago took up the case and decided
not to allow Giddens to be taken back
to Georgia without a legal fight.
It is said that a fund of approxi¬
mately $5,000 was taken up among
the negroes and counsel was obtained.
The first step was a habeas corpus
proceedings, in which the defense was
successful, but Giddens was imme¬
diately re-arrested for being a fugi¬
tive. The case went to Governor Mc¬
Crary for a decision as to whether
extradition papers would be granted.
Giddens’ counsel made a plea to the
Indiana chief executive that if the de¬
fendant be taken back to Georgia he
would be lynched by residents of
Worth county. The governor with¬
held his decision pending a report
from a committee he would send to
Georgia and Worth county. At
it was believed that the committee
would be composed of two white men
and one negro.
Income Tax Facts
You Should
(For release on or after Feb. 7.)
Births, deaths and marriages
ing the year 1920 affect
income tax for that year.
Millions of babies were added
family circles, each of whom
an exemption of $200 in the
income tax returns.
Widows and widowers who
husbands or wives during the
are especially affected. They
single for the purposes of the
tax law and are granted only an
emption of $1000 unless the head
a family.
Persons who were divorced or
rated by mutual agreement during
year also must consider
as single persons.
The status of the taxpayer on
cember 31, 1920, determines
amount of exemptions. If on that
the taxpayer was married and
with wife or husband, claim may
made for the $2,000 exemption.
single, or married and not living
wife or husband on December 31, the
exemption is only $1,000.
Persons who reached majority dur¬
ing the year and whose earnings
that period amounted to $1,000 or
more, or $2,000 or more, according
to their marital status, must file a
return and pay a tax on their net in¬
come in excess of those amounts.
To avoid penalty, the return must
be in the hands of the Collector of
internal Revenues for the district in
which the takpayer lives, or has his
principal place of business, on or be¬
fore mid-night of March 15, 1921.

FIVE MEN FAIL
TO BUDGE GIRL
“GEORGIA MAGNET CLAIMS TO
HAVE CONTROL OF THE
NTIONAL LAWS.
NEW YORK.—The girl that San
dow, Plachette and numerous other
professional strong men could not
lift, defied the united strength of five
men at a united demonstration at the
Hotel Astor yestgrnoon. Miss An¬
nie Abbott, known as “The Georgia
Magnet,” stands about 5 feet, two
inches high and weighs 115 pounds.
She is delicate as a puff ball in build,
but is seemingly impervious to the
cave man tactics brought to bear on
her yesterday for demonstration pur¬
poses.
Medical men were present and the
general opinion was that there is
nothing metaphysical about Miss Ab¬
bott’s powers, but that she uses the
defenses of the Japanese wrestler
and the elementary leverage princi¬
ples of physics. She did what John¬
ny Coulan is doing now in Paris. For
four years she was overseas, first
with the British Red Cross and then
with the American army, but no one
succeeded in raising her from the
ground. When Sandow challenged
her they appeared together at Win
sor Castle before the King of En¬
gland and the slim resiliency of the
little Southern woman was more than
a match for the enormous strength
of the physical culturist. Psycho¬
analysts have found themselves as
much at sea as strong men in dealing
with her.
Miss Abbott claims to have control
of natural laws and to be able to in¬
crease or diminish the force of gravi¬
tation, but has no theory as to how it
is done and believes it is a gift hand¬
ed down to her from her father. She
is a native of Atlanta, Ga. With
soft, lisping accents she encouraged
bashful males at the demonstration
to try to lift her. What actually
transpired was simple enough. Any
one had a chance to try to move her,
from the floor—if he could.
The grip was below her arms. She
crooked at the elbow as she was seiz¬
ed,'but was equally resistent with her
arms hanging down beside her. There
was no other form of contact. Her
whole body was tense. Time and
again she was almost dragged out
of her quaint little blue silk frock,
byt not once did her feet leave the
floor. H#r whole body sagged and
she had a suspicion of Houdini’s
straining wriggle.
After a convincing demonstration
with one man she was surrounded by
five. It wasn’t their gentle handling
that kept her on the floor, either.
They used their united strength to
lift her, but bending one of her knees
behind her she stood as firm as a rock.
In every instance contact was estab¬
lished through the hands and arms.
The most trying test, apparently, was
five men trying to push her toward
the wall. She stood with arms out¬
stretched, not with her hands, but
with the men who stood in a row be¬
hind her, grasping the shoulders of
the person in front and all pushed
while she resisted, not with her hands
but with the slant of her body. There
was intense concentration in every
line of her figure. It almost seemed
as if she were in a trance. When
she relaxed victorious she turned
faint and shook like an aspen.
Her minor demonstrations were
with a chair and a billiard cue, neith¬
er of which could be taken from her.
She pushed against her challenger
and broke the current of her strength.
In every instance she was on the de¬
fensive. According to her own tes¬
timony her only failures have been
when men have suddenly rushed her
and swept her off her feet.
No Limit Set for Sick
As to Amount of Wine
WASHINGTON..—The amount of
hard liquor a sick man may acquire
legally is definitely fixed by the stat¬
ute, but the only limit of the amount
of wine he may obtain is the “sound
and honest” judgment of his physi¬
cian, and, perhaps, the depths of his
purse.
Prohibition Commissioner Kramer
in a formal announcement today, says
there seems to be some confusion as
as to the quantity of wine that a
physician may prescribe. To clear
up all doubt, he lays down this rule:
“Until further notice, physicians
may prescribe in their practice such
qu;vntities of wine as they, in the ex¬
ercise of their sound and honest judg¬
ment deem necessary in the particular
case, if they, in good faith, believe
that the use of wine as medicine by
the .person for whom it is prescribed
is necessary and will afford relief to
him from some known ailment.”
Mr. Kramer warns that physicians
should use “extraordinary care not to
abuse the right given them,” and the
State Directors were told to guard
this matter carefully and to the ef¬
fect that the said privilege be not
abused by any physician.”

Gigantic New Zealand Trees.
The sizes reported in some New
Zealand trees are astonishing. Each
of two kauri trees from the vicinity
of the Waipona forest is stated to
have yielded 295,788 feet of sawable
timber, which is about twice the prod¬
uct of the largest known trees of Cal¬
ifornia, and equivalent to the entire
production of nearly three acres of
good European forest.
