NEGRO SELECTMEN THINK FLU
MASKS ARE THE kU KLUX

Camp Wheeler Macon Ga, Oct 21-
Gauze masks may be alright to pre-
vent Spanish influenza but they are
not very attractive looking espe-
cially in the moonlight and they
gave train load of negro selectmen
sent here from Georgia districts the
fright of their lives.
| When a train pulled into the re-
ceiving camp early Friday bringing
the last of 1900 negro selectmen in
that increment, squad met it to
take charge of the ew arrivals The
negroes many fresh farms had no
, ticed men walking silently on post
with loaded rifle and some were fill
led with misgivings.
Every member of the reception
squad were a gauze mask. The moon
shone brightly and made the "precau-
tions" look more CHASTITY. The first
negro to reach the platform saw a
dozen masked faces pointing in his
direction.
'Ku Kluxes!" he yelled, and "beat
tit" back into the train
There was a scramble for places
of refuge under seats and elsewhere
and it was some time before the ne
grOes were convinced that the masks
were intended to protect their health
and lives and finally were induced
to don them.

NEGRO PAID $500
SELLING LIQUOR

Sam Rushin a negro tenant for j..
S. Pate, who lives three miles out
was fined $500. Saturday by Judge
Crum when he entered plea of
guilty on a charge of selling liquor.
Sheriff John Ward had run down the
negro on a report which fixed his
guilt.
Rushin was past middle age and
said he had never given trouble be-
fore. He had this corroborated by
good white friends, but he said
he sold the liquor. He promised faith
fully that this would be the last.
According to his version of it, the
temptation was too great. The price
was so high and the demand so strong
that he let himself out. He will have
to serve twelve months if he fails to
raise the fine. He said he could raise
it. ~ ETEy

IN COTTON YIELD

last year were looking for twenty
thousand bales Of cotton. They got
much less. This year they are run
ming behind last years record, which
was an easy one to beat.
\" Cotton ginned prior to September
25th of the 1918 crop amounted to
1857 bales. To the same date last
year it amounted to 1912 bales.
This is still shortage, but indicates
a picking up in amount ginned as
