NIGHT RIDERS
AGAIN ACTIVE
Northwestern Part of Christian
County Invaded By The
Band.
NEGRO RUN OUT OF HOME.
Beverly Reynolds Whipped, Shot
and Ordered To Leave
The NeighbOrhood.

The depredations of night riders
around Dawson have broken out
again and Christian county has been
invaded.
Beverly Reynolds, colored, living
near Macedonia, close to the Hopkins
county line, was visited Monday
night and run out of the community.
Reynolds moved into the neighbor-
hood about two years ago and had
worked small coal mine on a lease
and done odd jobs of work for white
people. He lived alone in a cabin
rented from J. o. Menser.
Last Friday, Reynolds says he
found anote in his yard which read !:
"Sambo-Leave North Christian
county by Saturday night, the 10Th. -
This was signed "Possum Hunt.
ers."
The following day, or last Satur-
day, a note was found in Mr.. Men.
ser's yard which reads:
Get shut of that niger or we
will burn him and house, too"
This bore no signature.
About IL o'clock Monday night the
band appeared at Reynolds house
and broke open the door. Reynold:
says he was aroused by shooting in
side the house and he received a bull
let in his hand. The bullet cut {
cash through the left palm but it il
not thought to have injured the
bones The wound was dressed by
physicians here Tuesday. He says
the men, who were masked, forced
him to go with them to a point three.
quarters of a mile away. He was
then held by two men while others
gave him twenty hard lashes with
long switches. He was then warned
to leave that section, and allowed to
return to his cabin.
He came to Hopkinsville Tuesday
and reported the affair. He says he
cannot imagine why he was singled
out for the attack. The neighbor-
hood is one made up almost entirely
of white people.

In The Daring And Successful Raid of The German Submarines
Across The North Sea-
THE BATTLE FRONT SHOWS NO CHANGE IN FRANCE
The Russians And Serans Continue Their Successes In Gaca
And The Austrians Are Very Hard Pressed
Third Battle On In The East.

London, Sept. 23.-Paris reports
heavy fighting yesterday with no
change in the battle front.
Military experts estimate that two
million men are at the scene where
the battle has been in progress ten
days.
The opposing armies continue to
gain little here and lose little
there. These gains may tell in the
long run, but have brought no de-
cisive result for either side.
The French official report again
lays some stress on the announce
ment that an advance is being made
by the allies left wing on the right
bank of the river Disc. from which
point both the public and the militia.
ry experts look for first indications
of how the battle is likely to end.
Although official reports do not 60
beyond saying that the Germans
have been forced to give ground be-
fore the French attacks, and speak
of Noyon and the district around
that city as the center of operations,
some correspondents describe the al
lies left as extending from just west
of Noyon to as far north as Lecatel-
ct, from which point, or Peronne, the
new army, of which there have been
so many reports, but no confirma-
ton, is supposed to be operating to
threaten the German right wing.
If this is true, the German right is
in dangerous position, for it can
not extend much farther north or
west of st. Quentin. Its position
runs thence by way of Chauny and
south of Laon to north of Rheims.
On the plateau of Craonne severe
fighting has been going on for days,
but there is no late Information.
In the center. between Rheimsand
Souan, which the French occupied
early in the week, there has been
more desperate fighting. the Ger
mans taking the offensive and. &C.
cording to the French reports, being
repulsed. The Germans also have
made some attacks in the Woevre
district without success.
The French have captured addi-
tional prisoners and supply trains.
The Russians have followed up their
successes in :Galicia, where a third
great battle is about to begin, if it
already has not started, by captur-
ing the important fortress of Jaros-
lau, on the river San, north of
Przemysl, which they are surround

The daring raid of German subma
rines across the North Sea, which re
suited Tuesday in the sinking of the
British cruisers Aboukir, Hogue and
Cressy, has diverted attention mo.
mentarily from the battleields of
the continent.
This was one of the things the
British navy had been led to expect,
for the Germans frankly had avowed
that their plan was to reduce British
naval superiority by submarine raids
and the sowing of mines and they
have been training their young Off
GERS for salies of this kind.
Nevertheless it came as a shock to
Englishmen that big ships such as
those sunk could so easily be attack
ed and destroyed, while the German
fleet has remained in safety in its
mine and fortress pro ected harbors.
However, the British fleet must
keep the seas to insure Great Brit
aims food supply, and in doing so
must run great risk. The ships sunk,
while obsolete, were useful vessels.

submarines were sunk.
