TERROR IN GEORGIA.
More Negroes Are Massacrsd, Shot ana
Beaten Around Statesboro
nailv

S~tatesboro, Ga, Aug. 19.-One negro
found dead by the roadside five miles
east of town. his body pierced by two
Winchester bullets: two negroes. one
Of the "Old time darkies" and his son,
II years old. shot in their cabin by un-
known marauders: half n dozen cases
OF flogging. which are of nightly &C.
currence. too frequent to excite more
thar passing nOtice-such al the his
tory Of the day.
The scene has shifted from this city
to the rich agricultural region sur
rounding 1t. At Riggs Mills. half a
dozen miles from here. several well to
do white planters met and deliberately
planned how to rid their neighborhood
OF obnoxious negroes. = Individual ne.
groes were marked for flashing, and
part Of the program ia being carried
out. Two victims, a black maj and a
black woman, have been marked at
Register, a railway station ten miles
from here. Their oflenses are alleged
d~tsrespectful protest against the white
supremacy here.
The general opinion is that a deter.
mined stand by the oilcers in COM
mand OF the handful Of troops would
have prevented the burning Of the two
negroes. It 10 stated that the States
bOrO militia have prepared their resig.
nations for h governor. Militia mis-.
management was also manifested when
tne On1cer In 1t 10 reported,
took charge Of the local telegraph ONCE
and for an hour censored all messages
and some messages were withheld from
the wires.
Albert Roberts. an old negro living
near Register. and his son were shot
in their cabin and seriously wounded.
Roberts was q peaceful citizen. and his
white neighbors near Register are
greatly incensed owe the shooting.
Sheriff Kendrick went to Oliver 10

suspected OF completely in the Hodges
murder. but Williams had been shot
by a deputy while resisting arrest. In.

Doesn't Concern the Powers.
Japan has made no secret of her In

powers. believing the matter to be one
which concerns herself lone. Japan
is prepared, the legation further as

With regard to the Ryeshitelni affair,
Japan II is asserted. is determined to

JAPs SHOT TOO WELL.
Battle Of August 10 Was Fought at a
Very Long Range.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 19.-Further de-
tails of the sea battle Of August 10 were
received at the admiralty from Captain
Matousevitch of the Czarevitch. now
at Using Chou. They show distinctly
that 1t was a long range fight and that
the Russians. sailing in close forma-
ton. were placed at a great disadvant-
age. not only by the superiority Of the
Japanese numbers. but owing to the
TACT hat after encompassing Admiral
Withoft's semi-circle they were en-
abled to pour In a remarkable deadly
fire on the fleeing ships.
Captain M~atOusevitch says the jap
anese kept at q distance of eight and
less than Ave miles. Efforts Of
the Russians to close with the Japan
ese and sink some Of their vessels by
ramming them or by gun fire, even
at the cost of themselves going to the
bottom. were consequently unsuccess-
full. The Japanese would not permit
the Russions to approach. but the rain
of projectiles never ceased. The twelve
inch shell which glanced on the Care
vitch's forward turret and blew up the
bridge on which the late Admiral
Without and his family were standing,
vas fired at a range of eight miles.

WHEAT TAKES A FLYER.
May Option Went to st.12ak on the
Chicago Market.
THE HIGH SPOTS.

Wheat touched some of the high
spots on the big markets Wednesday:
some of the others 1t passed up without
touching because 1t was III n hurry.
The furry of the last few days. due
to the determination of the speculative
interests that rust and bad weather are
going to cause n great reduction in the
yield. reached the climax today. The
markets at all points were feverish and
uncertain, but the tendency was up
ward.
A threat of frost In the northwest
caused more worry and sitter prices.
This was coupled with high cables and
more rust reports. September
wheat In Minneapolis touched SLIP IN
the forenoon. Bad reports from Mani
toba. indicating danger of frost in the
fields there. which are still immature,
and have been promising an immense
yield. added to the upward impulse.
Wheat has spectacular ways every
once In a while. In August. 1867. 1t
ranged from $1.55 to S2.95. but that
was in a badly deprecated paper cur
rency. The mex W years ii got
above 50: and from that time till 1883
there never was a year in which the
dollar point was not passed by from
13 to 40 cents.
Eighteen hundred and eight eight
saw it touch 81. and the next two years
each saw 1t Mt $1.0S. Then there were
a series OF years. down to 1896. when
wheat never saw the dollar sign. In
May, 1928. o Letters joint debate
with r. ID. Armour m 1t to $1.S5 and
caused Joe's father to place mortgages
on several Chicago skyscrapers In or
der to pay for Joe's experience.
Wheat has never reached today's fig
ures since the Letter deal. How much
farther 1t will go is only a matter OF
conjecture. a we'll known dealer said
that he didn't know anything about
1t n was telling his customers so.
The speculative world has the notion
that weather NJ rust are all against
the crops. and that there will be an inn
mense shortage" he said. II believe
for myself hat these elements have
been o~verworked: but o can't tell
what the trade nay do. 1t nay go lots
higher. Err writing u customers
that the spectators with the notion Of
higher prices have the bit in their teeth.
and are going to run till they are run
down. I can't tell how long thatll be-"
Other grains are sailing along in the
train OF wheat. but their increase is
not proportionate to that OF the hard
grain.
