Negroes Driven From Many Counties
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 18. —Since the
unfortunate affair in Cummings, For
syth county, complaints have been
coming into the executive office reg
ularly of notices posted over the
county warning all negroes to leave
on penalty of death, and also warn
ing all farmers employing them to
make the negroes move on pain of
having barns or homes burned.
It is said that practically every
negro has left Forsyth county and
none can be secured for work of
any sort. Unhappily the affair has
not stopped at the ong county but
appears to be spreading all over the
northeast section of the state.
This morning a prominent citizen
of Jackson county, who wishes his
name omitted for obvious re; sons,
had a long conference with Governor
Brown ( The visitor said that notices
had been posted all over Jackson

TEACHERS NOT TO GET ALL
OF PAY FOR CHRISTMAS.
Atlanta, Ga.. Dec. 18. —It will be
a slim Christmas gift Georgia school
teachers will get from the state
treasury department, if the “school
marms’’ get any present at all.
State Treasurer William J. Speer
announced today that the depart
ment hoped to mail out checks a
mounting to about ..ten per cent of
the teachers’ salaries for 1912, bring
ing the total paid out up to 30 per
cent of the salaries due for the year.
As usual in past years, 1912 has
been a slender year for the school
teachers. Os the $2,550,000 school
appropriation, but $405,446 has gone
forward at the present time.
Os course, under the state’s sys
tem of tax collection the bulk of the
ad valorem and corporation taxes
will come into the treasury after De
cember 20, and the teachers proba
bly will get the'r full salaries af
ter January 1. However, it will be
a feat of financial legerdemain if
the school appropriation for 1912 is
paid off before the year 1913 is con
siderably spent.
county warning negroes to leave and
telling farmers who had negroes on
their places that they had better
make them skip or there would be
trouble.
These notices are crude in nature,
unsigned. It is the opinion that it is
a semi-lawless and irresponsible class
guilty of this work, and Jackson
county citizens have offered a reward
of S2OO for the apprehension of. the
party or parties guilty of the of
i sense.

MAIL ORDER LIQUOR TRADE
DENOUNCED IN THE SENATE
Washington, D. C., Dec. 17 —Denun-
ciation of the mail order liquor bus
iness as the enemy of state prohi
bition characterized the opening day
of the fight in the senate for the
passage of the Shepard-Kenyon Mil
to prohibit the shipment of liquor
across state lines into dry territory.
Galleries were thronge 1 with men
and women identified with the na
tional temperance movement when
the debate began on the measure
long pending before both branches
of congress.
Consideration of the bill was de
voted to addresses in its support by
Senators Sanders of Tennessee and
McCumber of North Dakota, both of
whom had introduced bills Similar to
the measure pending.
Legislative rules threw the bill
back to the regular calendar when
the short debate was Interrupted by
the convening of the Archbald court
of impeachment.
Members will demand that it again
be taken up, however, and an effort
probably will be mafe soon to ha»“
it brought before the senate as the
"unfinished business’’ insuring its
dally consideration until It is dispos
ed of. Interest in the constitution
ality of the proposed law was mani
fested throughout the days’ debate,
and brought numerous senators into
the discussions.
Senator McCumber’s efforts to give
state governments power to seize li
quor shipments as soon as they cross
ed the state line must fail because
the supreme court invariably has
held such legislation as unconstitu
tional. The federal government has
entire right, he declared to prohibit
the shipment of liquor into prohibi
tion states. The measure pending,
which passed the house as the Snep
ard bill, would prohibit the present
mail order and express order busi
ness in liquor in states where local
prohibition prevails.

GHATTOOGAVILLE
1 We still have real winter time,
big white frosts nearly every morn
ing. Good time to burn wood and
keep fires.
People are still moving. There
are a few who have some cotton yet
to pick, but there is less to pick
at this time of the year than for
several years past. Our school Is
getting on nicely so far, run up to
90 last week. We will need the
third teacher after Christmas.
The people here are preparing for
Christmas and the children are all
expecting Santa Claus to come am
bring them presents.
Money in our community is scarce
Short crops with most, of us and the
short prices. But maybe we will pull
through other year some way. But
times are -oing to be a little hard
.on farmer- it has forced some far
mers who tiled to farm this year
to quit the t.irm and go to public
works. This shO'did not be so. The
more farmers who leave the farm
the higher tin cost of living will
be. We have not got enough far
mers now to make a living for all
the people. We need more farmers
and better ones to reduce the cost
of living. But it will be better for
the few who stick to the old farm
if they will make their own living
on the farm. And if they can make
a living to sell it will bring a fancy
price. So commence now to produce
on the farm your corn, meat, and
all feed stuff for your stock. I saw
a man last Saturday, a good farmer,
one who knows how to make corn
as well as cotton, with a middling
of bulk meat in his wagon and a
bushel of meal. I says, "John,
what did you pay for that meat? 1
Twelve and a half cents per pound
for the meat and a dollar for the
meal. Now this should not be the
case with farmers, but it will be
■and that is not the worst of it, we
soon will not have any money to
buy with for the short cotton crop
and the short prices when we sold
our cotton, cut our money supply at
leas* one-third and we sure are go
ing to feel it during the year 1913.
So now while we have the chance
to do better with our farming an
other year let us do it. Remember
you can not just raise cotton and
buy all you need with the cotton
money. We have all tried that to
some extent and find it does not
pay, and the high cost of living still
goes on. G. A. Ragland.
