This summer has not been
quite as hot as last year, due
perhaps to the scarcity of cam
paign hot air.
Automobile cranks who per
sist in spading around corners
and by the homes of people who
live near the road should be
fed on fodder and shucks as
other asses are fed.
Prohibitionists and anti pro
hibitionists are not so far apart
after all. Both believe liquor
should be put down, but they
differ as to the method. The
latter believe swallowing is the
only way.
+
The old fashioned method of
working the roads with pick
and shovel has had its day. Oc
casionally one sees a stretch of
road over which a few hands
have gone with shovels, throwing
little heaps of dirt here and 1
there and leaving the road in 1
worse condition than before.
The road scrape or drag is the 1
only worth-while road imple {

Evidences of the need for speedy
action are cropping out from t
time to time, and they should be '

Public sentiment should be so I
aroused that the enforcement 1
of all needed regulations would I
be easy for the town authorities, i
Leo Frank Lynched
Milledgeville, Ga., Aug. 16.?
A mob variously estimated at
between 25 and 75 in number
overpowered Warden Smith and
guards at the State prison farm j
near here at 11 o'clock tonight '
and quickly got Leo M. Frank 1
and rushed him away in an
automobile.
Five men went to the house J
of J. T. Smith, warden, covered
him with pistols and stood guard i
over him. Other men went to ]
the house of J. M. Burke, super J
intendent of the prison and
held him under cover of their j
guns.
Practically every other member
ot the mob then rushed to
the stockade gate nearest the
dormitory where Frank was
being housed. Only yesterday
did the physicians discharge
him from the hospital where he
had been since being muderous*
ly assaulted in the dormitory.
As on the night Frank was
attacked only two guards were
on auiy. The mob quickly
overpowered Chief Night Guard
Hester and the other man on
duty, proceeded to the dormitory
and within a few minutes
seized Frank and rushed him
back to the automobiles.
A prisoner who was sleeping
in the dormitory is responsible
for the statement that the spokes
man said the mob intended to
take Frank to Marietta and that
tomorrow morning his body
would be found on the grave of
Marv Phagan, for whose murder
the prisoner was serving a life

explicitly however that if cotton j

I sell a lot of furniture, but a
man who would get in behind

selling are that I have a good

id, realizing that the task was so monumental
quire .ho combined efforts of all forces, the

and t oasting of its possibilities of rendering a
