Since the Holt lynching negroes
employed on some of the farms in
Panther Creek and Cedar Creek dis
tricts have been receiving anonymous
letters warning them to leave the
county. Several good negroes have
received these warnings, and in some
localities have become so panic-
stricken that they ure afraid to go to
the fields to work. Their employers
are indignant, and have resolved to
protect their hands at any cost. They
should do so by all means, and the
first step that has been advised is to
have the sender of the letters arrested.
We understand that most of tiie let
ters are in the same hand-writing,
and that there will be no trouble in
proving the identity of the writer. He
should be put on notice at once that if
he sends any more anonymous warn
ings like those mentioned above he
will get himself into trouble. A term
in the penitentiary would be light pun
ishment for the white man who would
attempt to demoralize the farm labor
of an entire community by any such
villainous method. The orderly, in
dustrious, law-abiding negro is just
as much entitled to protection as a
white man, and it is the duty of every
good citizen to see that he gets it.
Racing Matinee.
Next Tuesday afternoon at 3
o’clock, on the track of the Newnan
Driving Association, there will be a
racing matinee. In addition to the
racing attractions there will be a
good band of music on the grounds,
and free ice water. Ample seating
accommodations will be provided for
all.
There will be pacing, trotting and
running races, in which the best
horses in the county will be -entered.
A particularly interesting trial of
speed will be the pacing match be
tween the celebrated pacer, “Bacte
ria,” and “Katherine Clay.” It is
expected that the local pacing record
will be broken in this match.
Fourteen entries have been made
for the two prizes offered in the bi
cycle race, viz: Rawson Dent, Aub
rey Fuller, Harrie Dews, Charlie
Dent, Joe Fischesser, Will Albright,
Will Cox, Hugh Hackney, Claude
Jackson, Arthur Mobley, Lawson
Mobley, Ed Turner, Henry Florence,
Ben Moseley. The winner of the first
prize will receive one full set of Mor
gan & Wright’s tires, (offered by W.
A. Dent, and valued at $8.) The
winner of the second prize will re
ceive one pair Morgan & Wright’s
inner tubes, valued at $3. No en
trance free; open to all.
Mrs. L. R. Wooten, Quitman, Ga.,
