SPOT CASH STORE. 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.

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. He Had to Laugh. A private with the A. E. F. felt :hlrsty, end not having a franc in his Docket decided the only way he could ;et some wine was to faint. So he jretended to faint in front of the first nn. Two French girls ran out, picked lim up and started toward the inn.

Guests having been there, the chil Iren were up later than usual and un* Duly excited. Aunty couldn't make them go to sleep; she had heard their prayers, told them stories, and they ivere wider awake than ever. “The first one of you to go to sleep shall Dave an orange,” she finally said. Dead silence followed. Presently Tottie called: “AuVity, dive me my orange; ! is the first one asleep.

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.” What Are Your Enjoyments?
