demning . recent night' riding in
Barrow county will be made at a
mass meeting btgre Friday night.
The resolutions point out that'
the “practice of night riding by
bands of msslced men, either as
members of a secret order or oth
erwise, and the acts that flow from
such practice,’’ are lawless and
crime breeding, “subsversive of
lives and good order, frightening
to womtn-and children, disturbing
to all elements of s6ciety.” . ?
It is further claimed that' labor
is being disturbed and many peo
ple are leaving the county because
of the lawless acts and that men
are arming themselves for protec
tion of their homes and property;
leading “from the frightcniiiir of
innocents to the high crime of ar
son, murder and lynching.’’.
The home of Mr. Woodruff end
other prominent Barrow county
