"LABORERS' UNION BAND"
Georgia Organization Whose Purpose
ia to Drive Out Negroes.

A dispatch from Griffin, Ga. last night
says: The fogging Of three colored opera
tives of the Kiacaid mills on Monday night
by whitecaps has led to sensational devel-
opments.
Last night another negro was taken from
his house and severely beaten and cut.
These negroes are law-abidng citizens.
Today the superintendents and others at
the hincaid mills Were notified to leave at
once or they would be dealt with
1t now transpires that there has been a
club formed here known as the "Laborers'
Union Band" with the purpose of driving
the negroes out of the county.
The information is good to the effect that
this band was formed in connection with
others ~ the state, and the rules and oaths
followed by these men more rigid than
those enforced by Jesse James. The Griffin
| "Laborers' Union Band has bout 800 men,
bers, large number of whom are boys I'M
der age. AT d recent meeting of this mob
it was suggested that the boys be turned
out, as they knew no better than to sell
out for money.
At this the boys threatened their fathers
and threatened to reveal everything. These
young criminals, by reason of their cour-
age, remained within the ranks. These
facts have come to light today and when
! the superintendent A. G.. Martin, was
threatened, petition, signed by President
w. j. kincaid, ice President S. Grantland
anu s1eC!et3iy anu treasurer j. VI. BTdWn-
er OF the --lncaid mills was sent to Gov
ernor Gambler thrC gh Judge L. w. Ham
mOnd, asking that whereas mob had on
two nights previous forcibly beaten and
mstreated men not guilty of any crime and
said mob had threatened other lives at the
I mill, he order out the militia to protect
lives.
The governor responded promptly, and in
an hours time the Griffin Rifles were in
their armory awaiting orders from Judge
Hammond to proceed TO the factory.
The mayor mas been reliably informed if
the men go to the factory there will be
trouble in the city ton ght. He has ordered
all the police force on duty throughout the

A BOOK ABOUT RIVERS,
The Results of Ten Years Experien,
and Study.

The Results of Ten Years Experience
and Study.
The United States geological survey has
just issued an important volume prepared
by F. H Newell relating to the use of water
for power. irrigation and other industrial
purposes, being the product of ten years Of
experience and systematic measurement. 1t
gives facts concerning rivers in various To-
calities, from Maine to California, and
shows the greatest, least and average flow
by months.
The volume Is deliberately illustrated, with
views, showing the rivers at the points of
measurement, also the developed water
powers and the localities where further in
Vestment can probably he made. Every at
tempt has been made to render this volume
convenient for reference and attractive III
appearance in order that the attention OF
the public may be drawn to the great posi-
IilitiCS of further utilization of the water
resources both east and west. While adj
dressed primarily to engineers and profess
Sicnal men, it, at the same time, may be
considered one of the best examples of
the publications of the geological survey
designed to bring prominently forward the
economic Importance of our country's re-
sources.
