By the Agsociated Press, CAMP HILL, Ala., July 18.—After a night of futile combing of the woods by armed possemen to round up organ- izers and members of “the Society for | the Advancement of Colored People,” Tallapoosa County virtually was re- stored to quiet today. A scheduled meeting of the soclety last night in the woods around Waverly, | near here, did not take place so far as 1200 possemen could discover. Other | possemen were unable to find any trace of a reported invasion of armed Com- munists from Chattanooga, Tenn., but all roads leading from there were guarded throughout the night. Members Believed Hiding. Officials this morning expressed the opinion that the Negroes active in the society had taken to the woods and would remain in hiding for at least a few weeks. ‘The soclety, organized within the last two months, has been holding meetings to protest against the sen- tencing to death of eight colored men in Scottsboro, Ala., for an alleged assault on two white girls who were hoboing aboard a freight train. Officials say there are 170 known members in this vicinity. Other objectives of the society, ac- cording to Chief J. M. Wilson of CarAp Hill are political and social equality and a minimum wage of $2 a day. Ha described the organization as Commu- | nist-inspired. One Killed, Sheriff Hurt.

Kyle' Young and Deputy Sheriff Jack Thompson. The sheriff’s condition is serious. ‘The general headquarters in New York of the International Labor Defense and the Southern district headquarters in | Chattanooga have protested the activi- ties of Tallapoosa officials as “slaugh- ter” and “terror.” The Chattanooga branch tel:graphed Gov. Miller of Ala- bama, demanding “the right of the col- ored and white croppers to organize, to lynch mobs,” and announcing that “we hold you responsible for terrorist actions reported planned against croppers and thelr leaders.” Another telegram to Chief Wilson de- I manded th on of the reign of G s i The Highly Restricted Community ENWOOD is proposition. not a promotional It was conceived and is being planned after an ideal—the founding of a residential community of such natural and developed beauties as would appeal to those who appreciate re- fined environment and neighbors of kin- dred tastes.
