NEGROES LEAVE ORANGE
Said that They Are Sacrificing Evsryihlst
They Have to Get Ont.
THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD TO co QUICKLY
Labor Troubles Also Threaten Ana
the sawmilis Are I'm Danger Of
Being Tied Up in short Time.

Beaumont, Texas, August IA Post
correspondent learned today that the COLI
ored population IL rapidly leaving Orange.
Inc information Is obtained from a ctti-
zen OF Orange, who intlmates that unless
something Is done to allay fears and stop
the evacuation there will not be saw mill
In Orange running within tho next ten
days.
When asked as to what was causing to
evacuation the gentleman would not give
direct answer. Ho merely replied that
house in which lot OF negro men were
gathered Was hred into by mob Saturday
night. One OF the inmates was killed
and others were wounded. He only knew
that the negroes were In a state OF terror
and those vino could were leaving the
city.
Many Orange negroes owned theA-
homes said the gentlcmaa. These they
are sacrificing. In fact. they are selling
anything and cverythins--even their
slickars and wearing apparel--to get
money with which to leave town Num-
bers 40 on every train. Others are pre-
pairing TO leave, and In very few days
the mills will be unable to muster sufh-
Client men TO operate
Further inquiry developed the fact that
there was some sort OF labor trouble In
Orange, aud 1t Is said strike Is very i'm
nincnt, but 1t WAS impossible to learn their
exact nature, IL seems tho mills there.
With respect TO their employees, are oper-
ated on u system somewhat different from
that which prevails at other milling points.
TO that extent the Orange operators claim
that they were ut disadvantage, 1t being
contended that the wages paid exceeded
those paid by competitors II is not re-
ported that there wero conferences be-
tween employers and employees, but 1t is
stated that one company decided TO quietly
remedy the ALLEGED evil. TO this end they
imported number OF Louisiana negroes
and put them at work at a less rate OF
wages than was paid TO local employees. 1t
la said that the white laborers and some OF
the negroes construed this TO mean that
they were to be gradually let out.
II protest was made TO the lumber
company he fact could not be learhed.
but firing into house filled with negro
men Saturday night Is construed as an
nounoement that tho mills would not DO
permitted to import colored or cheap labor
The work of the mob Saturday night seems
TO have heen only the beginning OF the
trouble. Stree then the negroes have been
qretly but positively informed that con-
tinued residence in the city on the SABINE
would not be conducive to their health.
Up to the present time these hints or sug-
gestons have not been followed by acts OF
violence but the negroes apparently re-
gard the suggestions as threats ana are
leaving as fnst as they can get away
The gentleman seems to regard the stu
afion in Orange MS decidedly serious, but
until the saw mill owners took decided
stand no one could foreteli the result.

ward caring for his little ones, He was
an Industrious man and a hard worker.
His untimely death is a great blow to his
aged father and mother and many rela-
