NEGROES RECEIVE ORDERS

Bluefield, w. Va, Sept 1O.-All Ne
gro. business men On Raleigh street
received letters this afternoon COM
manding them ITO move from that
street by Saturday night or they
would be dynamited. The letters
were signed "Lynching Committee"
and the Negroes are i'm a state Of pam
ic, fearing that the lynching Of Robert
johnson at Princeton last Thursday
night may yet result in serious race
war. The Negroes have appealed to
the county and city authorities for
protection.
The special grand fury that vas to
have convened today to investigate
the lynching was postponed -in.;, Sep
tember 16. While the authorities did
not give their reason for this action,
it Is believed that it was done IN or
der that the excitement of the DoDulace

The postoffice authorities will in

ing letters through the mails.

ONE-THIRD OF WHITE VOTERS IN
/, ONE GEORGIA COUNTY CAN
BE PURCHASED
Startling Scandals
Involving Leading Families Follows
Report of Grand Jury Investigating,
Recent Hotly Contested Primary.

Madison, Ga, Sept. 9.--The great
est vote-buying scandal in Georgia
history was disclosed today when the
Morgan County Grand Jury made
known the result Of it's Investigation
into the recent Democratic primary.
The grand jury charges that over 500
votes were bought and sold in the
primary, and vote-buying has charac-
ter1zed every election held in Morgan
County for the last 10 years.
Twenty indictments were returned
by the grand jury, and over 100 more
bllls will be returned. The indict-
ments were returned on the evidence
OF the candidates who bought the
votes. The grand jury summoned the
candidates and offered them immunf-
ty If they would testify. The candt-
dates accepted the offer and made q
full confession, furnishing the jury
the names of scores of men who sold
their votes.
The price Of votes ranged from 81
up to $50. Cne man and his two sons
received $3.50 for their three votes
The candidates stated that CT the
z'ooO voters in the county over 500
We're on the market, and insisted on
being bought in every election. The
Judge of the City Court, the Solicitor
General and every official che sen in
the primary are said to be involved.
The recent primary was the mos.
hotly contested in the history of the
county, and it was evident that tho
candidates were spending large sums
or money, but no one ever Thought
that, There were 600 white men in the
county whose votes could be bought
until the grand jury reported the re-
suit of it's investigation. ..'.... j..
1t is asserted that as long as the Me-
groes voted no white mans vote could
be bought, but about Is years ago 1t was
whispered that a dozen men i'm a GER
tain district would sell their vote
Ihey would not sell outright, but they
would accept pay for the time they
lost from work, and would vote for
the men who compensated themA
The conitagion spread until the
grand jury declares nearly one third
OF the white votes are for sale in eyerv
election. some Of the vote-sellere
have grown well-to-do as q result Of
the traffic.

Is Kiddied With Bullets Whilc Two
Thousand Georgians Look On
With Approval.

Cumming, Ga, Sept. 1O.-Mob spirit
which has been at fever heat here
since the threatened race rioting Sat-
urday, boiled over today, when several
hundred white men stormed tn local
jail and riddled Ed Collins, a. Negro,
with bullets. The body Of The Negro
was mutilated with crowbar and
then dragged to the public square. In
the presence Of crowd Of over two
thousand persons, the dead Negro was
strung up to telephone pole.
Collins was arrested today along
with three other Negroes in connection
with the attack on young white girl
here Sunday. 1t is alleged that he
assisted Ernest Cox, the Negro who
confessed to the crime, In hiding the
body. Cox was taken to Atlanta for
safe keeping.
Sheriff Reid had difficulty In getting
the prisoners into the local Jail on
account Of the mob which assembled
when the arrests were made public.
Shortly after the Negroes were fncar-
cerated the mob attacked the Jail with
crowbars and affected an entrance.
The other prisoners were not molest-
ed.
While no further trouble is looked
for here tonight, threats Of violence
are being made on all sides in the
event, that Cox or the five Negroes
spirited to Marietta are brought back
here for trial.

Mob Rushed Jail

Bluefield, Sept. 6.--Walter Johnson,
the Negro who was accused of at
tempting to assault 14-year-old Meta
White, by chloroforming her, when
he found her alone at the nome of her
parents, and who was captured, iden-
titled by ths' girl and taken to the

persons. The mob infamed by great
draughts Of whiskey, rushed the Jail
at an early hour this morning, secured
Johnson, took him out and banged
him to a telegraph pole. The mob
then filled the squirming body with
revolver and rife shots.
A short time before the actual
lynching, the mob had listened TO
speeches by Judge Maynard and Rev.
T. S. Hamilton, urging them to let the
law take its course, and its anga~
seemed to have been appeased.
It is said q little dog frightened the
brute away before accomplishing his
purpose. Arrests of five suspected

CLAUSE
BEATEN IN ARKANSAS

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 1O.-~Meager
additional returns today from the
General State election In Arkansas
yesterday indicate that cnly one con-
stitutional amendment submitted 10
the people for ratification secured
enough votes to insure It's passage.
This is the proposal to limit legisla-
tive sessions to sixty days. State
wide prohibition and the so.called
grandfather clause amendment are
believed to have failed. The Demo-
cratic state ticket headed by Con-
gresham J. T. Robinson candidate
for governor, is known to have been
elected by an overwhelming majority,
although the returns are far from
complete.
