Reed’s Georgia reply to Reed on terror and ballots
Parnrox Walst writes from Augusta Georgia that Speaker Reed’s charges of terrorizing and ballot box stuffing in Georgia are unfounded. He states whites outnumber blacks by 200000, no district where negroes are terrorized, and blacks vote freely. He dismisses charges as slander and notes racial relations are amiable.
