Pastors Whipped for Teaching
Flocks to Get Education,
Writer Says
OMESBURNED,

New York, April 20.-A letter to
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, quotes
the. Rev. o. H. Edinburgh, a survivor
of the recent burnings and mob out
breaks in Florida as saying that a
number of towns were burned and
that the burning lasted for day and
half, educated colored people being
the heaviest sufferers from the mob.
Rev. Edinburgh is quoted in part as
follows:
STANLEY Town, a town Of more
than one thousand colored inhabitants
with only one white man who lived
with a colored wife, was totally de-
stroyed with the exception of the
postoffice. Colored people own stores,
banks and everything here.
Preachers Whipped.
"In these towns, he said every
preacher was whipped, being accused
of influencing his people along lines
different from what the white peo-
pie thought wasn't best for colored
people to aspire and know-instilling
them with new ideas along educa-
tional lines and educational condi-
tions and unity-saying that they
were growing naughty and rebellious.
"In one town they whipped the pre-
siding elder, Will Burton, by tying his
hands and tying him to tree, three
men whipping him with black snake
whip until the whip gave out. Elder
Burton was rushed to hospital in
Atlanta where he was at the time
this Mr.. Edinburgh (was). The
white people were running the col
ored people out of this place, and
Elder Burton asked the governor for
a state militia for a protection of
the colored people. So they heard
of it and came to his house and asked
his wife for him, but were told he
had not returned home. They made
several similar visits before he came,
telling his wife their intention and
assuring her they were not going to
bother her nor anything she pos
sessed, but only wanted Burton:
Worth $55,000.
ELDER Burton was said to be worth
more than 5000 and had been mar
ried to this young wife about year,
and had JUST bought her one of the
most beautiful homes from some
white man in the city-paying cash
for it; and a few weeks prior to this
time had presented his wife with a
beautiful thousand dollar car paying
cash for it; but they did not bother
anything but Elder Will Burton, who
survived enough to be taken to At
lanta after a black snake whip was
used up on his back"

new NICK-AL STUNT
PROVES KNOCKOUT

NEW YORK. October 11.--Nick AL
trock and Al Schacht. the buffoons of
base ball, had new piece for the
revue they always give before the start
of the world series game yesterday.
Their new stunt is reproduction of
the Dempsey-Firpo boxing match. A
miniature ring. with the top strand of
rope coming up to their knees. was
pitched on the diamond, and chairs
were placed outside of it. They wore
boxing gloves and rushed at each other
with some show of zeal.
Once. twice. three times Altrock-
who impersonated the Wild Bull of the
Pampas-went down from short right
and left hooks. On his fourth knock
down Schacht-the Dempsey of the
piece-wa;ted only until "Firpo' was
barely off q, the ground before he
knocked him down again. That
brought forth the jeers that the NOV
ing pictures of the fight elected when
shown in Broadway theaters. The
show ended with the final knockdown,
which the pair did in slow-motion time.
Then they went through their slow
motion picture pantomime of a pitcher
and batter, relic of their former Of
ferlpgS.

Three WOMEN MAY
RIDE IN STAKE RACE

NEWMARKET England. October
11.-Three women may have mounts
today in the annual Newmarket Town
Plate. The announcement that Miss
Betty Tanner intended TO ride the ia
vorite. Pennant. stimulated two other
horsewomen to try to participate.
One of these is Miss Iris Rickaby. sis
ter of the noted jockey. Fred Rickaby.
who was killed In the war. The other
is Londoner, Miss MarjorI Benson.
The question was raised. however.
as to whether any of the three would
go to the post, some persons contend
ing that the rules of the event re-
stricted the riders to the sons of local
farmers and tradesmen. and 1t was
not believed that the regulations
would be stretched to include the
daughters of natives.
Others held that nothing could pre-
vent Miss Tanner and Miss Rickahy
from riding. even If Miss Benson were
excluded because she was a Londoner.
As the entries did not close until the
start of the race. nobody was sure
how the question would be decided
