= STAR OFFICE COURTEOUS

The force at the Meridian Star dur
ing the past four months has shown the
same courtesy to our group that was
shown to the white group. White and
colored people have gone to the same
office, voting the same kind of vote for
the same thing without any friction
whatever. The merchants, business
concerns, along with the Meridian Star
who sponsored this movement, have
demonstrated to the public that the
white and black races here in Meridian
can work together toward one common
end, in peace and harmony, without
any friction whatever. This Campaign
was sponsored by white people and
not colored. 1t was supported by both
white and colored.
We are of the opion that this Camp
align has helped to create better feel
ing between the two races and more
cooperative spirit among individuals
Meridian has been helped and the pople
have been helped. We always well
come any movement sponsored by any
group of people that will help us in
community up-lift.

these ladies stated that they have no
criticism whatever to offer with re-
ference to the department of our people
in voting "All of the colored people
who have come to this office to vote
have conducted themselves in such a
manner that we have no criticism what
ever to offer. They have been willing
to take their turn; they have been quiet
and always willing to take advice with
reference to the Campaign"
The editor was well pleased to hear
such a statement coming from these
two ladies. They also stated that they
had talked with other workers at the
Meridian Star headquarters and they
had registered no complaints with re-
ference to our department. They
stated again, that they had received no
complaints from the merchants who
helped to sponsor this Campaign.

Clay County.

~ the Associated PRESS.
MANCHESTER, KY, January g.
Two women were listed today among
the six persons known to have been
killed in recent weeks in sporadic out
breaks of violence in the secluded Dou-
BILE Greek section of Clay county.
The latest casualties in disorders au-
thorities attribute to factional differ
ences among residents of the hill coun-
try were reported yesterday when Bro
pha Lipps, Is, and Esther Smith, IT,
were slain by rifle bullets fired into
q dwelling from nearby hills.
Lipps was among a group Of men
charged with murder in connection with
several killings recently. He had been
accused with the others in the Staying
of Willie Wagers and Ford Lipps. but
was dismissed when witnesses failed to
identify him.
Yesterday Lipps and Miss Smith we're
ut the home of Lips father-in -law
Will Smith, with several other per-
sons, when bullets fired through the
house struck them. None of the others
was wounded.
Shortly afterwards Speed Collins, who
was at the Smith home at the time of
the shooting. swore to warrants accus-
ing six men in connection with the kill
fngs. They are John Wagers and his
two sons, Noah and Jim; Reuben Smith,
Wood Lipps and Tom Gray.
Noah and Jim Wagers and Tom
Gray have been under 81 900 peace
bonds in connection with previous
troubles and had been prosecution wit
nesses in the Willie Wagers and Ford
Lipps cases. John Wagers' wife was
killed when ambushers fired into her
home the day before Willie Wagers and
Ford Lipps were shot. She was the first
woman slain during the recent troubles.
Shortly before her death, Tom Wagers
was killed.
The home of Little" Joe Lipps, ia
Their of Wood LipDs. was fired upon
some time ago, and his twin sons, is
years old, were wounded as they lay in
bed
III feeling between enemy factions
dating back several years has been
blamed for most of the recent outbreaks.
The troubles have been attributed vari-
plisly to political differences and family
dislikes, aggravated by petty quarrels.
