Albany, Ga, Dec. 23.-Advices from
kestler, a town on the Georgia. Flor.

two negro secret society halls in the

Friday night. They were completely

One of the buildings wer the Odd
Fellows hall at Corea four miles

There appears to be a systematic
campaign Of destruction waged against
the negro secret societies. five halls
having been demolished.
AS a result OF the dynamiting there
is a reign Of terror among the negroes
in the vicinity of Kestler. They be-
lieve that whites are dynamiting their
halls on accOun of the difficulty OF Sc
curing labor, the Secret societies being
held responsible.

ONE OF THE CAUSES
Which Produced the Panic-The Hos
tile Legislative Action Toward Rail
Dad

Mr.. Bryant said in his Washington
letter in Wednesdays paper: 1T IS
said here that Governor Glenn is not
quite certain what the legislature
would do if he were to call it together
and, therefore, he is at sea. The rail-
roads would be glad to nave the sew
eral states concerned get together on
some proposition that they could &C
cept so they could feel at liberty to go
forward with improvements, that they
have been planed. The suspense IS
what hurts and the public is tired OK
it. There is a feeling abroad in the
land that all OF this agitation has
helped to bring on the panic which
threatens to continue. Everybody IS
on the anxious bench" There is wide
spread belief that the anti-railroad
agitation Is largely responsible for
the panic. We do not mean, of course
that in North Carolina Or any other
particular state but in so large a pro-
portion. 1t may have been inaugurated
in the interest of the people; let it
be conceded that it was; but the effect
has been the opposite of beneficial to
them: 1t has made it impossible for
them to borrow money with which to
prosecute contemplated improvements
and thus has hampered industry in
every line. We are not saying that it
produced the panic; few have been so
hold as to say what did; but no doubt
it was one of the contributing causes;
and the sooner it ceases the better for
the general welfare.-Charlotte Obser-
