When Officers Turk and Gay dis

in addition to forcing officer Gay to
sirike him two blows with his stick,
he smashed a window in the waiting

NEGRO MAIL CARRRIERS
MAY COME IN GEORGIA
! Atlanta, Nov. 3.—That an attempt
l\vill be made to place negro carriers
on rural routes in Georgia. in the
event Candidate Charles E. Hughes’
clection to the presidency on Novem
ber 7, is generally believed in local
political circles. |
Negro republicans are taking ai
more active part in the present cam
paign than they have in recent years,
and are receiving aid from a number
of whites. A number of Georgia ne
groes are closely identified with the;
republican national campaign ('ommit-l
tee, which has used several repub-|
licans of the color from this state fm"
speech-making purposes among thel
negroes in northern states. These
speakers are reported to be tel]ing%
their negro friends how the negroes%
have been eliminated from nationali
politics, with special emphasis laid |
on the segregation rule enforced in;
the census bureau by W. J. Harris, a |
Georgian, while he was director of the |
census. '
It is understood that the attempt to |
place negro carriers on rural routes |
will first be tried in counties, if auy.:
that go for Hughes on election day,;
the theory being that since they are!
republican counties they will be more |
‘nelined to submit to negro carriers.
If this plan works out, i tis further|
understood the negro carriers will|
be extended to rural routes in sections |
of counties where militia districts |
went for Hughes. |
