NIGHT RIDERS AFTER NEGROES
LATEST WRINKLE IN AFTER
SHUTDOWN ouTLAWRY.
Terrorize Inhabitants of Georgia
Counties and Burn Thirteen
Churches and Schoolhouses.

ALBANY, Ga, September 29.-There is
a reign of terror among the negro fnhabi-
| tants of a considerable portion of Cal
houn, Baker and Miller counties, as the
result of a raid by night riders Saturday
night. the trail OF the outlaws being
marked by the blackened ruins OF thirteen
negro churches and schoolhouses.
The following buildings were destroyed
Mount Zion church and schoolhouse.
Pleasant Hill church and schoolhouse,
Christ church and schoolhouse, Little
Zion church and schoolhouse, Belmont
Church, Mount Aetna church and school,
house, New Salem church and school
house.
The night riders first made their ap-
pearance at a point three miles east of
kestler, where the first church was fired.
They galloped away toward the east, and
before the glare OF the first fire had
reached its height another was being kim
died a few miles away.
Fire Followed Fire.
Fire followed fire. and the destruction
of every building 10 which the torch was
applied was complete.
Hundreds of negroes went to their
churches. only to find heaps of ashes
where their meeting houses had stood.
Many of the best members of the negro
race in the three counties named are
members of the congregations of some
of the burned churches.
This is the same community where a
few months ago a number of negro lodge
rooms were dynamited, and where several
lynchingS have recently occurred. the last
having taken place only few weeks ago.

I'm Judge Taft we have man of wide
acquaintance with the bar; of large ex

sympathetic man. If you looked from

CHAFIN RAPS CAPITAL
New York, Washington and Chicago
are the incubators of crime in this coun-
try" declared Eugene w. Chain, prohi-
bition candidate for President. in Beres-
ford. s. ID.
Through the encouragement OF the
liquor traffic at these places the Official
stamp is put on crime. 1t is from there
that the so-caled white slave trafic
spreads throughout the country. Official
figures show that every twenty-four hours
this traffic claims 40 girls.
IF l am elected President the first
thing I will work for will be dry
Washington. Then I'll clean out New

10 the white slave traffic

Why should our Bibles always be
bound in black? was a very pertinent
question put by bishop Tugwell fresh
from his field of labor in western equa-
torial Africa, at a meeting in connec-
ton with the Religious Tract Society's
109th anniversary. The Bishop viewed
with satisfaction the many Bibles and
prayer books of the society bound in
bright red cloth, instead of the hither-
to invariable black, a color which is
mostly associated with what is mel
ancholy. Bishop Tugwell would no
doubt appreciate the brighter colors
for his heather converts more especial
ly. One is reminded of this in connec-
tion of the almost extinct black gown,
to which objection has been taken for
the same reason, the donning of which
by the parson before delivering his ser
mon savored SO much of the Judges
putting on the black cap before pro-
nouncins the death sentence, whereas
the gospel message is one of peace and
life.-Pall Mall Gazette.

LAW is PLAIN AND SEVERE.
For Those Sending "Jokes" and Lies
to a Newspaper.

Sometimes in an attempt to be
funny or to play a "joke' upon a
friend or neighbor, or perhaps with a
really malicious object in view, per-
sons send false or libelous items to a
newspaper for publication. These
items may be wholly innocent in ap-
pearance and thus pass the inspection
OF the editors and appear in print.
Every newspaper is occasionally im-
posed upon in this way, and the Ken
nebec Journal has been no exception
to this rule. These items, of course,
are not sent in by our regular cor
respondents in the country towns, but
by other persons in those communi-
ties. OF course if such items, or any
items for that matter, are unsigned,
no attention is paid to them in the Of
flee and they go into the waste basket,
but if they are signed and appear to be
legitimate news, they receive atten-
ton.
After being repeatedly imposed upon
in this way, the publishers Of the
Journal decided to make an example
of the persons guilty of sending in
such items, and with the help of a
lawyer and a little amateur detective
work the guilty parties in two recent
instances have been traced out To
avoid having the case against them
taken to court they have paid all the
costs involved and have furnished am
pie apologies both to the Journal and
to the injured parties. Moreover, in
both cases we are sure that the guilty
