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 ■jfc?3®3Eß - ■ .' ■ t'.'.‘:- r .’n/ ■”/ '••_'■• '.*■■ rx’ore P ■ Congress, that the r . . - .

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.

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.

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.
