will probably stand in Georgia for a

lantic Coast Line special operated
from Jacksonville to Lexington, KY,
and officers had complied their raid
by the time the train had reached
WaycrOss. Three special agents, o..
T. Hill and Mitch Thomas from Way
cross and G. S. GOdbOId of Savannah,
figured in the raid made on the cars
of the special. They had with them
sixty pair of handouts, and worked
car at the time.
The special was composed of race
track followers and the equipment,
and feed for horses carried along in
palace horse cars. In one hay pile
eight hObOeS were caught, while 9TH
ers were pulled from barrels and
boxes in various parts of the train.
By a previous order the officers
we're instructed to liberate them if
fares were collected. The hobOes all
fOrked across the cash fare charged
on passenger trains between Jack
sonville and WaycrOss for the priv
ilege of getting rid of a pair of hand
cuffs and getting off the train at
WaycrOss. Had no fares been paid
all the men caught, negroes and
whites, would have been turned over
to the Ware county authorities.
