Attention is called to the work of

Broke 1t Up Here.

Lynchburg, Va, Dec. Ii G.. Ar
thur, a planter, while returning home
from marketing a load of tobacco here
yesterday was held up and robbed by
two masked men when about five
miles from the city. After taking SAC
from Arthur the highwaymen told him
to drive fast, and when he started
four shots were fired at him. Arthur
thinks the men were negroes. Later
the highwaymen were trailed by blood
hounds to the street car terminus and
it is evident they were Lynchburg
negroes.
We copy the above from a Lynch
burg paper concerning the robbery of
a planter near that place. A few years
ago when the country was full of va
grants, with a lot Of skin games and
before the enactment of the prohibi-
| tion law, it was dangerous for a man
| to travel the public road at night
especially tobacco farmer returning
home with the proceeds of his sale
in his pocket.
| Now, however, the vagrant law is
enforced in the town and the country
| people are watching suspects and
keeping them moving and only those
who are willing to work are allow ed
l around.
| Again the country people have
found that it brings about a bette
condition of affairs to discourage
blind tigers in the country and they
are beginning to report to the officers
of the law such violations when ever
they find them. With the police of the
city after them and the landlords in
the country, pretty soon the blind
tiger will be'a thing Of the past ~an6
the drunkard in town and country
will forget his ''licker" and go te
work.
