TWO NEGROESARE
HELD ON CHARGE.
MOVING BLACKS.

Tedee Jones and viii Butler are two
negroes lodged in the Sumter county
Jail last night, after being brought
from Macon by Chief of Police john
son. They are charged with being
emigrating agents, which is misde
meanor.
These two blacks are the first ar
tests made in connection with whole
sale transportation of negroes to the
north, although it is said that the pres
ent case may not prove to be a plain
case-of going to the north with the
sole purpose. Some say that Jones
and Butler secured small sums from
three negroes with the promise of
providing transportation to the north
This failed the negro deluded negroes
and they were forced to leave the pas
senger train between Americas and
Macon, at Bagley, and make their way
to the Bibb city on foot. Here the
trio told on the pair whom they
charge with scheming the expedition
to the states beyond the Mason and
Dixon line. The three negroes will be
used as witnesses in prosecuting Jones
and Butler.
Solicitor Zach Childers talked with
the negroes last night, and they were
Guizzed by Sheriff Harvey and news
paper men. They deny any knowledge
Of regroes being used in the north for
voting, and deny that they are engag-
ed in the emigration work. Jones
says he is from Damascus, and Butler
states that he was born and raised in
Americus.
Negroes Fear Whites.
Several reliable sources have inform
ed the Times-Recorder that some of
the negroes are becoming disturbed
over reports that they are to be run
cut Of the South. One negro said yes
terday that he had been told of men
who wanted them to leave the South
that they would be run out by March
LIST. and others say by May 1st. In
eighboring counties, the unfoundeG
reports are working havoc
The more intelligent negroes among
their race should fully apprise their
brothers of these malicious charges
and accusations. The Recorder
intends to deal more fully with the sit
Ctticn in the interest of both races,
and expects to bring to light some
facts III this section which may startle
the people.

AUSTRIA WILL STAY IN

Vienna, Sept. IL (via Berlin to Lon
dom I'm thoroughly frank manner,
the Austro- Hungarian minister of
foreign affairs, Baron Stephen Burian
Won Rajecz, discussed in an interview
with the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press the position of the duel
monarchy in the world war, which he
said had been enormously character
lied by enemies and certain neutrals
as unsatisfactory.
austria Hungary is far from ly-
ing down, as hoped by some," said
the minister in a tone carrying con-
viction. "It is true we would have
peace with joy but not the sort of
peace our enemies would impose. So
long as we have to defend ourselves
against those who want to take part
of our territory, we naturally are un-
willing to discuss peace; so long we
are determined to hold out and win.
The thought that we are eager for
peace on any terms originates prob
ably in the minds hoping that such
will become the case"

"Brussiloff has implicit faith in the

treated owing to the lack of muni-

WORSE THAN BLOOD MONEY
Annual Extortion by the City from
the UnfOrtunates of the
West End

Seventeen women, arrested by City
Marshal Carter on charges of keep,
ing, and residing in, the disorderly
houses in the western part of the city,
forfeited bonds in failing to appear
before the city recorder this morning.
Arresting the women is an annual af-
fair, sort of blackmailing method
of licensing them. The bonds forfeit
ed this morning by the II women
amount to 1920.
The city disgraces itself when it
replenishes its treasury by any such
method. As long as it allows the
women to stay in the restricted dis
trict, it should only arrest them when
they are disorderly. When they are
quiet, it should let them alone.
