Cumming Still
Filled With Hillmen.

cumming is far from quiet today
The men of the mountains are still in
town, armed and sullen. They are not
satisfied with having dragged Ed Col
Inns. slayer of young girl, from the
jail and hanged him to a telephone
post The burning of the store has led
them to believe that the negroes are
in sympathy with the assailants of
women. 1t will take but a little more
to fan their fury into an attack on the
blacks, which will mean race war.
There is no love lost between the
mountaneer ana the negro at the best,
and their hatred has grown even more
violent in the past week.
Ed Collins, confessed accomplice of
the slayer of an 1S-year-old girl last
Sunday was the only victim the mob
was able to reach all other prisoners
arrested in the recent troubles having
been sent to Jail in Atlanta or Mariet-

All the men accused Of crimes against
white women are now in the Atlanta
Tower, a building too strong and too
well guarded by city police for its
jaiIer to fear the attack of a country
mob. Five negroes who had been held
in the Marietta Jail for safe keeping
were brought to Atlanta in automobiIes
last night and placed in the Tower, for
the cobb county authorities feared an
assault by the same determined men
who had stormed the Forsyth county
jail so successfully, The five negroes
are Tony Howell Fate Chester Isaiah
PerSle. Johnny Bates and Joe Rog-
ers. They were arrested after an as
sault on farmers wife near Cumming
