BLACKS URGED TO
LEAVE THE STATE
PETITION FOR CHARTER
said
GEORGIA—Sumter County:
To the Superior Court of
county:
The petition of Thomas Harrold,
Frank P. Harrold, William E. Har-
xold and Edward B. Harrold, all of
Colored citizens of Amerlcus have
received copies of a green circular
urging Georgia negroes to go to Cal
ifornia where. It is claimed in the
green sheet, 15,000 to 20,000 negro
laborers are needed and making the
most gorgeous and pollflc promises.
The circular Is being distributed very
generally over the state.
In Amerlcus, where the ‘‘California
fever” has been prevalent for some
time and carried away a large num
ber of negroes already, the circular
attracts attention.
It Is not believed, however, that it
will catch other Immigrants.
The emigration agent back of the
scheme, knowing that if they con
ducted their operations in Georgia
they would be heavily fined or sent
to the chaingang, are making their
headquarters in Chattanooga.
To that city they urge Georgia ne
groes to come, ready to take the
Overland Limited" for California,
The Land of Providence,” which Is
to depart on a date not named. High
er wages are promised, and the cir
cular even offers to pay the passage
' those who cannot raise the money.
Here are some choice excerpts from
the circular which is being spread be
fore the Georgia darkles:
‘‘We understand that you have been
deprived of your privilege of voting
the state of Georgia. This is the
time for the colored people to let the
white people take the state of Geor
gia and run it to suit thmselves.
It is time for the colored people
Georgia to take advantage of this,
the greatest opportunity of their
lives and come to the state of Califor-
the greatest country on earth,
where they will be allowed to vote
and allowed to buy and drink the fin
est wines and the finest of whiskies in
the whole world."
And further on: '
“The colored people of Georgia
shoud be thoroughy convinced by this
time that they are no longer wanted
the state. To begin with, arrange
ments were made by your Governor
to flood your state with foreigners.
Then you were disfranchised, and
next you are to be deprived of the
pleasure and privilege of taking a
drink on and after Jan. 1, 1908.’’
So far as can be ascertained there
has been no extensive response to
this call for negro emigrants.

AFTERMATH OF
TILT IN LOWER HOUSE
ATLANTA, GA„ Dec. 23.—(Special)
—Following two days Investigation
of the affairs of the Neal Bank, one of
the largest State depositor in Geor

“After duly considering the char
acter of the assets and resources of
the Neal Bank and Investigating its

vestments and loans of this bank are

they cannot be readily converted, and
therefore we do not feel warranted
rendering the assistance that its
present necessities require.

RUMOR OF TOO

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—(Special)—
The theory advanced by Wail Btreet

$20 gold pieces, that the Government
in coining these double eagles made
a mistable and put into each one about
$30 In gold .Instead of $20, a theory
which the Director of the Mint pro
nounces to be a pure fabrication, re
calls the rumors circulated a couple
of years ago that a large number
of the pennies of that year's coinage
contained gold in sufficient quanti
ties to make them worth a hundred
times their face value.
The story, as it ran at that lime,
was that in melting down the copper
for this particular lot -of pennies a
gold bar had fallen accidentally Into
the molten copper, and that this
fact was not discovered 'until after
most of the copper had been turned

not the Islightest basis in fact for
the rumdrs which were circulated re
