Savannah, Ga, June 16.--(Special)-
The negroes of Savannah are kicking-and
strongly, too-against The Evening Press.
They say that they are not Negroes, and
don't want to be called negroes" and will
not be called negroes" without protest
loud and long continued The occasion for
the kick was a Misunderstanding little local
in The Press yesterday afternoon. 1t was
the announcement to the effect that
number of young negro men in Savannah
have organized fire company and are en-
deavoring to secure a machine. Inc

White Caps in Toccoa
Toccoa. Ga, June 1S.-(Special.) -Ihere
is now an organized band of white caps
here. Our citizens are lawabldlng and
regret very much that such means must be
resorted to to protect the morals and so
ciety of the town. But if we can get no
effective relief through the courts then we
must have it through other channels. jeff
Maxwell and Ella Teasedale We're whip
ped by the white caps Monday night and
warned to leave the county. Ella Tease
dale is a character She has been an eye
sore to this town for a number OF years.
Quite lot of time and money have been
spent by our citizens in bringing her before
the courts with very poor success. She
served one term in the Changing about
three years ago. On being released she re-
turned here unimproved to moral
character. Her conduct became so objec-
tionable that she was given a sound thrash
ing and driven from the town. About
three months ago Jeff Maxwell moved her
back, and they opened up place from
which whisky was dealt out contrary to
the law and other immoral doings carried
on to such extent that no civilized com
munity could put up with it. Their misdo-
iDgs went SO far as to force Jeff's wife to
leave him and seek q home with her
mother. This, we suppose, was considered
sufficient reason for the white caps to take
a hand. AT any rate they did take charge
of the matter at this stage and reports
say that the work done by them lis Il very
creditable job.
On Wednesday night Ben Dooley was
visited by some parties who knew how to
use the whip, and grape vine dispatch
went the rounds Thursday morning that
Ben might have to stand up for a whole
week; at any rate, it was not thought that
he would be able to saw Single blocks
again soon. There are warrants in the
sherlifS hands now against him, but for
some reason ne was let 90 free until the peo-
pie became so tired of his conduct that thev
could bear it no longer and have taken
the matter in hand and are determined to
rid themselves of such characters
