The Oklahoma Riot.

Last Sunday night, September
22nd, some white farmers in Oklaho-
ma took their rifles and went to their
farms to protect some Negroes they
had employed to pick cotton for them.
Warning had been sent to these
planters by other planters in the COM
munity that they must not bring in
Negroes to work. 1t is further said
that on Sunday previous to the night
of the shooting threats were made
against the Negroes, and they were
ordered to leave the community be-
fore night. 1t was these threats that
prompted the planters who had en-
ployed the Negroes to take steps to
protect them. They doubtless felt
that they were duty bound to do so,
in view of the fact that they had
sought the Negroes to come into that
community to work. AS a result of
the assault it is reported that two of
the farmers are dead and one is ex-
pected to die.
This is a deplorable affair, and it
is a condition that must be met coura-
geously. Every man has a right to
work. He owes it to himself and to
his nation to earn his own bread by
the sweat of his brow. But when men
are set upon by mobs and driven from
work which they have been employed
to do it is discouraging, to say the
least; it is outrageous and inhuman.
This is not the first instance in
which Negroes have been thus treat
ed. The mob spirit has been tolera-
ted so long in this country, and has
been encouraged in the daily papers
to the extent that there are thousands
of men who feel that they have the
right to a. who shall work at this
or that place; and they take it as
their privilege to assault and murder
those men who exercise their right to
employ whomsoever they please to
do their work. 1t has reached the
point where no man or community can
feel safe-in the United States. 1t
used to be thatsthis condition only ap-
piled to Negroes, but it has become
general, and It win take heroic efforts
on the part of all to stamp it out.
This nation was warned of just such
a condition. 1t is being warned from
time to time nov of the awful calami
ty that will befall the nation unless
a united, persistent effort is put forth
to stamp out the mob evil.
The Oklahoma case is another chap
ter in the black deeds of American
outrages. 1t is gratifying to realize
however, that the best people OF the
nation are awakening to the serious
ness of the situation. They are show
ing a disposition to sacrifice ever
their lives that the lives of those in
nocent people whom they have EN-
ployed and have carried away from
their homes may be protected. TIL,
daily press is slow to acknowledg,
the true situation. The mob has beer
encouraged so long by them that the,
have not the courage to speak out il
unmistakable terms against the evi,

ZACHARY TAYLOR.

Zachary Taylor, the twelfth rresi-
dent of the United States, was a man
who if given 5000 men and a pocket
map of Mexico to-day would make the
country so healthy for American set
tiers in three months that the state
department could dispense with the
extra stenographers now expressing
regrets to the Mexican government
over the murder of Yankees by insur-
rectos.
Taylor was born September oath,
1885, in Virginia.. His father was a
revolutionary colonel and in 1908
Young Taylor became a lieutenant in
the United States army, not because
he stood we'll in French and kept his
washbowl clean at West Point, but be-
cause he seemed to be a man who
would lieutenant with extremely fatal
results to the enemy. In 1912 he be-
came a major and justified his ap-
ro'ptmont by protecting Indiana from
the Indians. He then helped put
down the Blackhawk val and later
I'm hro're up an Indian war in Florida
producing an unprecedented number
of obituaries at q low cost.
Pv this time Taylor was regarded
as one of the best two-handed fighters
in tire country. no weights barred, and
when Mexico became feverish ano
n ~ 10tf, he was biven a small
army an dtold to take a stroll throue
the country. This he did with such
,,r~r ic, and perseverance that sew
eral Mexican armies who opposed hin
were pulverized. He became the ter
rcr . N~Foyioo and his success was sc
great that the board of strategy al
Washington did not even court-mar
tial him for going into battle at Beuns
Vista without shaving.
When peace was declared Genera
Taylor returned to New Orleans a ma
tional idol. At that time the Whie
party was looking for a presidential
candidate and it nominated him fol
president, asking no questions as tC
his beliefs. He was triumphantly
elected ~ S4S.
President Taylor filled the chail
with great dignity, but suffered fol
lack of excitement. After fighting IL
four wars, fighting of~fice-seekers with
out the use of firearms proved too
r..lch for his constitution and he diet

HEED THE WARNING.
Many Dawson People Have Done So
to Their Advantage,


When the kidneys are sick they
give unmistakable warnings that
should not be ignored. By examin-
ing the urine and treating the kid
neys upon the first sign of disorder
many days of suffering may be saw
ed. Sick kidneys expel a dark, ill
smelling urine, full of brick dust"
sediment and painful in passage.
Sluggish kidneys cause a dull pain
in the small of the back, headaches,
dizzy spells, tired, languid feelings
and frequent rheumatic twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the
kidneys only If you suffer from
any of the above symptoms you can
use no better remedy.
Dawson people recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Mrs. A. 2. Smith, 107 North Cen
ter St., Dawson, Ga, says: q take
pleasure in saying a good word for
Doan's Kidney Pills, as 1 consider
them the best kidney medicine to be
had. They have been used by sew
eral members of our family for kid
ney complaint and have always
brought the best of results. This
excellent preparation should be
known and used by all kidney suf-
ferers.''

20 CENTS CAUSED KILLING
Tragic End. Dock Perkins
Held for Murder.

A jackpot of twenty cents was the
cause of a murder in the eastern part
of the county Sunday afternoon,
two of the participants in skin
game on the farm of Mr.. J. E. More
land falling out about the money.
Dock Perkins and Ed Castleberry
were the belligerents, and the for
mer bored the latter in the side with
a pistol ball, the wound causing
death in little while. Another ne
gro, it is reported, was also shot in
the melee, but was not dangerously
hurt.
Bailiff A. T. Joiner of the Sasser
district arrested Perkins and brought
him to jail Monday afternoon.

rich their land by diversifying their
crops and raising more cattle. Com
melcial fertilizers, he said, will never
improve or build up the soil, and are
a heavy drain on the resources of
the farms He also favored good
roads and good rural schools.
The discussion of blackroot or wilt
disease was taken up by Assistant
Entomologist A. c. Lewis, who reit-
Grated the suggestion made by
Mr. Worsham that every farmer
should begin with the supply of re-
sistant cotton seed that may be OBJ
tanned from the state department of
agriculture and develop and maintain
this resistant cotton by a careful pro-
cess of selection. He also urged the
formation of cotton breeders club.
DR.. A. G. Fort of the Georgia board
of health took up in most interesting
manner the discussion Of three
plaques that beset the farmer-such
diseases as typhoid fever, malarial
fever and bookWorm-with sugges-
tons as to the cause and prevention
of these ills. The chief carrier of
typhoid contagion was termed the
common housefy, while malarial fe-
yer owes its perpetuation chiefly to
mosquitoes. The hookworm is pre-
vented from being eradicated by the
fact that night soil is not disposed
of, said DR.. Fort. AS it related di-
rectly to personal health this address
was one of unusual interest to those
who heard it.
At the conclusion of the speeches

Club was organized with H. A. Petty
