handsome men, and when such a one

smoke” and his body is seen no more.

FIERY CROSSES CHILL
FERVOR OF SPOONERS
. Jackson, Miss., Sept. 27.—Those
couples who pile themselves into
automobiles at night, wend their way
but on the numerous highways from
the city, pick out quiet spots on the
roadside and park, had something
to think about today. Fiery crosses
were placed on every highway out
of the city last night along with
one on the grounds of the old and
new state capitals as a protest
against the diversion. One member
of the Ku Klux Klan said the num
bers of several parked cars were
taken and in the future parkers
would be watched, numbers of cars
obtained, together with the names of
the occupants, and they would be
turned over to the authorities for
action.
