That the situation Is far more seri
Gus than has been announced is evi-
denced by the fact that the United

Persons arriving from Atlanta to-
night declare that the number OF ne
grces that fell victims Of the mobs'
wrath has not yet been told, and these
persons declare that anywhere from
40 to Is negroes are dead as a result
of the r.oting Many were hurried
away by friends, hut newspapers have
been urged TO avoid sensationalism
ard extra edit ons. For this reason
all have now a conservative tone.
Desire for revenge by the whites
for the policemen and by the negoes
for the death dealt, indicates that the
irouble is far from over Here in
