MONEYED NEGROES MURDERERs
CAUGHT.


CAUGHT.
About two months have now
elapsed since j. H. Turner, the pros
.>>5so. automobile haclunan,
restaurant and barber shop owner OF
Savannah, Ca, was murdered near
Monteith while driving two white
men through the country Turner
was worth about $4,000 and was
widely known in that section. The
killing occurred ON the night of July
81. Boggs and Morley, of Decatur,
Ana, the white murderers, knew that
Turner had cashed check that day
for $500. Thinking he still had the
money on his person, they engaged
him to take them across country that
night. But before going he placed
the money in his wife's keeping.
This was the last seen of Turner.
Next day bits of human flesh, to-
gether with a bloody hammer, a
shoe, hat and bits of blood-stained
paper were picked up On the road
fourteen miles from Savannah. These
were the cleNs with which the de-
teetives worked. After a long search
Turner's body was found in an old
we'll twenty miles from the place
where he was killed The automo-
bile was found at a place called
Oliver in the possession of Mills
and Parnell who had bought it from
two strange white men for 500. In
the hat found on the road was the
name of a clothing firm of Decatur,
Ala, in which city Boggs was ar
rested. Worley was traced to De-
troit, Mich, arrested and brought
back 1t is said the men have con-
fessed to committing the crime

Negro leader in the coming cam

levers. For there is not Negro Of
voting age who does not think he
is a natural born political leader.
And the strangest part of it is that

WILL THEY MAKE PROPER PRO.
VISION, YES?
We were asked few days ago,
would the white people make proper
provision at the Jefferson Theater
lor the colored people? We an
swered this question by saying, in
our opinion, they would, but not I'M
til the Negroes quit crowdlng there,
as they are now, with no accommo-
dation.
The eyes of the very best white
citizens are on us; our department
must be above par if we hope to have
their protection in our effort for
civil and human rights.
No family in any community who
does not respect itself is respected
by that community; no community
in any city, district or country, who
does not deport itself in way to be
respected by the city or district, will
be respected. The same stands good
with a race Of people. We must
have pride and integrity, so much
so that we will disregard and look
upon with disgust anything seeking
to put us in a rude, unpublished and
unhuman position
We submit that these back-alley
conveniences to get to these play
houses are inhuman, with price
placed upon it, Now the real ques-
ton comes to us, will we stop it?|
In our opinion it is matter thor
oughly in the hands of the colored
9tople. We can have accommoda
tions in the next sixty days if the
proper steps are taken. First stop
accepting the one that you now have.
Have all whom you can to stop. Dur
ing the theater season the Negroes
put into the gallery of the Jefferson
and other theaters more than $780,
eco, and this is, in our opinion,
enough to give them a decent place
to enter and a decent place to sit.

THE DANGER OF REFORM.
Within a week or so Rudolph
Blankenburg and his followers will
be making the air redolent with
promises of reform. One knowing
the true motives of such blatant fell
lows might well exclaim: ooh, re-
form, what sins are committed in
thy namel" Whenever the cry Of
reform is raised one finds a vast
concourse of people who really
think that it means something gen.

cry raised to deceive the people,
