NIGHT RIDERS OF
TERRELL FLOC
NEGRO ON GRAVE
Victim Turns Out To Be
Not Man Really
Wanted

PARROTT, July 13.- (SpeciaD -
A band Of night riders in two auto
mobiles visited the farm of J. L.
Kenyon, two miles east of Parrott,
in Terrell county, last Friday night,
took Reuben Hunt, a young negro
World War veteran, to nearby
cemetery, and laying him across a
newly made grave, administered a
severe beating, it has just become
known. here. When the floggng was
completed the negro was told to run,
which he did, the mob firing several
shots in his direction.
The trouble originated ovef the
report that George Hunt, father of
the whipped negro, had cursed a
white man. The old negro is regard
ed by Mr.. Kenyon and others as not
being mentally bright. On THURSDAY
night the band If night riders went
to the Hunt cabin, but were unable
to locate the old man. 1t is reported
that on that occasion Reuben Hunt,
the son, came to the door with a
poker in his hand.
The next night the night riders
returned. A negro woman in the
house escaped and ran to Mr. Ken
yon's home nearby and informed him
of the visit of the band Mr.. Ken
yon hurried TO the negro cabin, which
was dark. On entering it flashlight
was thrown In his face. He sprang
at the holder and wrenched it from
his hand and turning it on the band,
recognized a number of them. The
light showed the crowd that they had
caught a negro whom they were not
after. This negro was promptly re-
leased, and then, after a considerable
wrangle Reuben Hunt, who had held
the poker the previous night, was
found and seized, thrown into one
of the cars and taken to the ceme-
terry when the flogging was given
him. The band then left.
1t has since developed that the old
er negro was hiding in the loft of
his home at the time of the fist visit
of the band, after which he had made
good his escape from this section.

PROHIBITION

While some citizens of Americus
complain that prohibition doesn't pro
hlblt. a man named Frederick C. At
kins, of London, Eng, who has lately
visited America, advises Englishmen
to wake up to the fact that "they
must compete in trade with a sober
nation"
Writing in the London Mail, At
hns says we Americans seem more
alert than he knew us to be when
we had all we wanted to drink. lie
also points out we are demanding
better plays since we went dry;
the tired business man used to stand
Tor any sort of fluffy nonsense" on
the stage, with a few drinks under
his belt.
Sometimes others see, us better
than We see ourselves.

CARELESSNESS

1t is estimated that 5000 men, Wo-
men and children have been killed by
automobiles in the United States
since January /. Responsibility for
these casualties is said to be equally
divided between the carelessness of
automobile drivers and the careless
ness of pedestrians.
At the same time cities all over
the country report that despite the
intense heat that has prevailed the
infant mortality rate is on the down
grade, because the germ diseases
that formerly killed babies have been
all but conquered.
The lives that we save through
sanitation we lose through careless
ness in driving and walking. We
.have conquered the hidden menaces
ITO our health but we seem unable
to conquer our own follies.

Auto Emigrants
Start for West

New York, Aug, S.-(Unlted Press)
An emigpnt train, 1921 model. was
scheduled to leave here today for the
west.
The trip will not be made in old
fashioned prairie schooners" but in
automobiles, each equipped with a
trailer to provide sleeping and
cooking Accommodations.
The caravan consists of 1928 famil-
les, all native Americans, who have
tired of city life and will take up
farming in Idaho, on tract about
10 miles southwest of Twin Falls.
The trip is expected to be made by
way of Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland,
Chicago and Omaha.
The scheme originated with VIII
liam D. Scott,ea Brooklyn salesman,
who formerly lived in Minneapolis.
He and friend used to take motor
excursions with their families every
summer. When the idea of moving
to Idaho was born, mutual friend
wanted to go with them, then an
other and another, until It was de-
cided to form a regular colony.

HENRY FoRD's RAILROAD.

With every evidence of satisfaction
and even with apparent glee the Rail
way Age" calls attention to the report
made by Henry Ford's railroad to
the interstatet commerce commission,
which shows, according to the Age,
that the d. r. & is net earnings have
declined 95 per cent since April. The
net for April, it says, was $276,452,
while for October it was S15,191. De-
spite this showing Mr.. Ford has asked
the interstate commerce commission
to permit him to make a reduction of
90 per cent in the freight rates in coal
but the commission has refused his
request. It may be that the interstate
commerce commission is afraid that
he will go broke. The patrons of the
road probably would be willing to take
the chance.
Again it may be that Mr. Ford
thinks $15.191 a month net is enough
to make on a railroad the size of the
D. T. & I
Probably there is nothing that
would please railroad managers gen
orally more than to witness the fail
ure of Ford's railroad enterprise
Lowering rates and raising wages are
contrary to all established principles
of r~ilroading, but if Mr.. Ford can
stand it the public will try to bear up
under the innovation.
One outstanding feature of the Ford
management is that the business of
the road has shown a steady increase
in volume, disproving the contention
of the other managers that lower
rates would not bring additional traf-
fic
