Two Followers of "Unknown Tongue" Will Uti Arraigned on Charge of Lunacy in Pike County, (Ja. There hove been some sensational developments In Pike County, Ga., re cently with reference to a religious seel which has been operating for the past several years through that sec tion, Vega, in Pike county being the central points of operations. A lot of these people have been acting so strangely that they have been severe ly criticised, and In fact, in a num ber ol' instances their conduct has been smb. it is claimed that il. has become objectionable to tho commun ity. Last summer (hey ran a camp meeting at Vega, which became so no torlus that people front the entire surrounding country Hocked there to witness tile performance?. The lead ers claimed to have received miracu lous power, and to have ti special favor called the "unknown tongue," which consisted of such an alleged jabbering as was probably uover be fore witnessed, unttelligible to ordi nary Imgins but clearly understood as they claimed by all the followers ol' the new religion. Some times various individuals would go off into a trancs Uko state, in which condition they would remain for hours and days, and at times weeks. Some times some of them would tramp the Heids and woods, shouting und moaning, until the neighborhood would become alarmed and the women and children nundi frightened. In the meantime repre sentatives of I be new sect were trav eling the country, begging funds with which to establish an orphans' home at Vega and a large framed building had been erected, where several chil dren had been collected. This condition continued until tho Pike County grand jury met. two weeks ago, when certain citizens of the county wen! before the body, and asked relief al its hands. lt seems that the grand jury, in its efforts lo aid ibo tmoph> n( that section, re turned two hills against two victims of i he new religious oidor and the investigations of the alleged homo re.-ulled in two children from, the home appearing before the body in Zebulon and from there sent to their former homo in Columbus, On. The citizens of Vega then took a hand ami aller public meetings noti fied Manager Stafford that he was m t a proper person lo be in ( barge of tho place ?.nd i hat a proper man would have i<> lu- pul in Cbargo or lim place ClosCd. All children there were Im mediately sent io their former homes and ii is probable thai tlio orphanage is om ot business.
