August 16—The | a Chicago elevated train > of half a d By tha Associated Prei SOPERTON, , August 16.—Four men went on trial here today in col nection with the flogging February 25 of H. M. Flanders, editor of the So- perton News. They are Sheriff W. 1. Thigpen, Henry McLendon, Raymond | Lee and Joe Lee. The case has attracted considerable attention In this immediate section, and rewards were posted at the time of the whipping for the assailants by Gov. Walker for the State and by Treutlen County and Soperton city officials, as well as private citizens. The four men were arrested March 9 by Sherifft G. F. Flanders of the adjoining county of Emanuel, and by a force of his deputies, assisted Treutlen County policemen, the for-| mer having been requested to aid. Sheriff Flanders is a cousin of the Soperton editor. i Flanders was whipped severely by | a group of masked men at night while he was returning alone by auto- mobile to Soperton from Swainsboro, nearby. The remark of one of the floggers to Flanders that write in that paper of yours, you?” led to the belief that the inci- dent followed a vigorous editorial campaign of Flanders in his news- paper against lawlessness and boot leggers in his county. Flanders, a small man welghing about 109 pounds, was beaten into in- sensibility and did not regain con- sciousness for several hours. He lay :n a critical condition for weeks, later receiving medical aid in Atlanta, re- turning here yesterday for the trial. He will be remembered in this section as the editor who was shot several years ago for his editorials against the liquor traffic. He has never fully recovered from these wounds. Permanent daylight saving has been in.action at Santiago, Cuba,-July 1 1898. He is survived by a sister, Mrs. Jennie S. Sague of Cleveland. - adopted in Mexico. All clocks were recently set forward one hour to re- main that way for all time. | draw the jew CEW BANDITS LOOT G STREET STORE | | Messenger Boy Sees Men Smash Show Window and Calls Policeman.
