LASH FOR INCIDENCE
Georgia Negroes Form Unique and
Determined Society.
TO Whip Those of Their own Ruce
Who Fail to Provide for Their
Families-Much Good Al
ready Accomplished.

Negroes living in the neighborhood
of New Providence church, a few miles
from Dublin, Ca, have distinguished
themselves by forming a society which
for originality probably has no equal
IN the whole country. The society is,
OF course, composed entirely of ne
groes and has for its object the better
ment of the race, the ineuleation of
right principle and right living in the
negroes, especially thosewho are mem
bers of the society, and the making of
better citizens of those who live in the
neighborhood of the headquarters of
the society.
The plan of the society is to inquire
into the mode of living of its members
and to correct, if possible, any defects
found in the character of those who
belong to the society. To that end any
erring brother who fails to right any
wrong he has been guilty of is, on con-
viction, soundly thrashed in the pres
enee of the other members of the So
ciety.
AS soon as charges are preferred
against a member he is at once mott
fed. If he corrects the evil complained
of by the next regular meeting all well
and good. If he fails or refuses to cor
rect his faults as seen by members Of
the society, if not of all men, he is
tried hy court-martial. A court is
formed. evidence is taken and his guilt
or innocence established. The one un-
der charge is allowed to procure coun-
sci from among the members and is
given every opportunity to prove his
innocence. If proven guilty the pun
ishment is always a whipping, which
the erring one submits to with the
best possible grace.
Since the formation of the society a
few weeks ago three of the members
have been guilty of failing to prove
themselves good citizens and provident
