BIG FORCE TO WEIGH MAILS WILL BE EMPLOYED Government Preparing To Employ 509 Men In Georgia Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 2.—Th^fact that the government Is preparing to era ploy 500 men In Georgia and other southern states to weight the mail hauled by the railroads, has centered public attention on the fight the roads have been making for better pay for carrying Uncle Sam's post. SEVENTEEN MEN ASSASSINATEI IN ALABAMA TOWN And No Arrests—People Afraid To Take Action The contention has been a lively one. The railroads declare that al though the volume of mall has dou bled the past twenty-five years, the railroads are not getting any more money, and that tfce amount now paid them for hauling the mails la not nearly just or adequate. The process of weighing the mails takes place every four years. The government spends $100,000 In this work. For the next three months the mails will be weighed regularly on trains n Georgia, and from tbe statis tics thus obtained the government will decide how much to pay the railroads for the next four years. The railroads have been kicking strenuously over this method, con tending that they get nothing at all four years interim, and that the mails ought to be weighed at least every two years. Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 2.—A reign of terror exists in the vicinity of Lew isburg and Arcadia, four miles north of Birmingham, as a result of a recent assasinatlon for which no arrests have been made, because it is reported the entire community is lntlmldatea into not giving information. Six white men and eleven negroes have been slain in the section within the last six months. Six of the ne groes have been killed within the last six days. An average of one a day has been maintained since last Saturday. Deputy sheriffs have received black hand letters ordering them not tn ap proach the section, but steps were taken today by the sheriff which it is | believed will result in a sensational raid and clean-up tomorrow or Satur day.
