K.,” signed to threatening notices posted on trees and the doors of negro houses is bringing serious complaint from far mers of several South Georgia coun ties notably Oglethorpe and Oconee, according to information given out here yesterday by Assistant Com missioner of Labor and Immigration Christie. Lately there has been considerable concern among the farming people of the middle and lower part of the state over the unrest among negro tenants and laborers, and lately signs have appeared on the h groes and sometimes on trees purport ing to give notice to all the negroes to leave the community within These notices, according Christie, hove almost invariably been signed “K. K. K." Upon investigation made by Mr. Christie, he found that where such notices have been put in the night time, the following day there would ‘‘happen along" an im: gration agent who has been able tell the negroes of the neighborhood Just wchere they can find steady work and to give them the “name of man ready to pay the railroad fan to Ohio, Pennsylvania and frequently to Detroit. Iii the last few days, Mr. Christie says, a mass meeting of the country people was held in Oglethorpe county when assurances were given the ne groes that they would be protected but it has had little effect in stopping he exodus. His department, he says has sent letters to the ordinaries nnd county commissioners of each of the counties, and to chief of police in the cities, calling attention to the law c immigration agents, and asking for • co-operation with the state depart ment in stopping the outgo of r labor. The first of next week it is Mr. Christie’s purpose to go into the 1 fected counties and make a further personal Investigation {to definitely •rmine whether or not the notices being posted by or for immigra- agents, or whether there is any legitimate connection with the organi- Pei initials are being used. ' In either event if the direct connec- established legal action will be taken. The department does nol believe, though, the Ku Klux Klan has had anything to do with the posting ■f notices. From other sources it is learned that, while some immigration agents working in the state, such of 1 as are known are found to have CLEMENCEAU ADDRESSED.
