THE NEGRO SCANDALS.
MORE REVELATIONS EXPECTED. RACE HATRED INVOLVED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright. Received March 30, 3.15 p.m. New York, March 29. Judge Parks declared he will a-sk for military protection during the trial at Atlanta of the peonage murders. Governor Dorsey, in a statement, said that in certain sections of Georgia brutal landlords were driving .their laborers away by cruel treatment, and making it impossible to secure operating capital for the plantations. There is an undercurrent of resentment at the action of the national association for the advancement of the colored race in dispatching telegrams to President Harding. Mr. Dougherty (Attorney-General) and Governor Dorsey are making charges that peonage is practised generally in Georgia and other cotton-grow-ing States.
Williams denies the charges. His sons have been released.
Reports from other parts of the State have been circulated that the Negroes plan an uprising against the whites, and many other rumors are current tending to engender race hatred. The people of the State are aroused over the situation. All the authorities promise strict and quick justice.—Aus. and N.Z. Gable Assn.
