The Democrats of Iowa, in state convention, hav9 declared in favor of the election of United States senators by the direct vote of the people. At the Confederate reunion which is to be held at Louisville "a chorus of 100 negro men and women is to render a new song, entitled, "Come A-Runnin." The United Christian party has nominated for the presidency and vice presidency of the United States the Rev. Silas C. Swallow, of Harrisburg, Pa., and John G. Wooley, of Chicago. The Trenton, N.

"The secretary of a business organization in Charolotte, N. C. talking of cotton mill investments, said : 'If I wert putting money in cotton mills at this time I would --put it in the small mills and scatter .it arpund. There is no doubt they are paying 25 to 40 per cent, in many instances. I dont't think that sort of thing will last, but it will last long enough for a man to get his money out and make a a big profit if he uses good judg ment. The big mills are paying wall, and for permanent invest ment, of course, there is where one's money should be put. When times get slow it be a struggle in which the fittest will survive, but just now it is hard ti go astray in buying cotton mill stock. A committee of the Confederate .Veterans whose work intererests all whether veterans or not, is the historical committee on Southern school history. Their report will bo submitted to the reunion at Louisville, May 30th June 3. Gen. Stephen D. Lee was its first chairman, with a member from each State. In their appeal to -the survivors and to the risiDg " generation they quoted, "A people which takes no pride in the nobie achievements of remote ancestry will never achieve anything worthy to be remembered by remote descendants." The completeness of the record which the committee hopos to finally obtain would fully justify the organization of the United Confederate Veterans should nothing else be accomplish ed by the order. 1,956,000 Bales to Date Less than Last yea J.

COLD BLOODED MURDER ON AUGUSTA STREET CAR Alex Whitney, a Tonne: Society Leader Shot by a Negro-The Murderer Probably Lynched. Augusta, May 13.-Alex Whit ney, aged 25, a society leader and popular young mau, was shot and killed on a streetcar at 7.30 p. m., by Gus Wilson, a negro, about a seat in the car. There is much excitement. At 2 o'clock (Monday ) morning there is still a great deal of excite ment on-the streets of the city over the killing cf youug Alex Whitney by the negro, Gus Wil son. ' Whitney aiid a friend were rid ing on the electric heit line when two negroes got on the car, one taking a seat in front and one sit ting down in Whitney'slap. Whit ney told the negro there was no more room before he sat down, but was paid no attention to. He shoved the negro up telling him he could not sit there. The negro's friend. Wilson, who was in the seat in front, said: "- it, sit there anyhow." Whitney slapped f he negro with j the back of his hand and a scuffle ensued. Wilson who was not in the scuffle drew a revolver and fired, the ball striking Whitney below the left eye. He died a few minutes after. Large crowds seen collected and a special detail of 25 policemen with rifles were sent to guard the jail. Wilson was secretly put on the Georgia railroad train, but a num ber of citizens had boarded the train also and when Grovetown was reached, a telephone message previously sent toe ollect a crowd, the negro was taken off the train by them. This is the latest report but a lynching is sure to follow il not already accomplished. LATER. Augusta, May 14.-The excite ment of last night over the killing of young Alexander Whitney by the negro Wilson has subsided and the communie/ bas settled down to a sad realization of their loss in the murder of one of Au gusta's most exemplary young men. News has reached the city i hat Witecta was lynched this morning about a mile end a half from Belair on the Georgia road. He was kept some time for the purpose of iden tification, and several parties left Augusta early in she day, who, it is said, easily identified the fiend. This done, the crowd soon strung Wilson's body to the limb of a tree, and while hanging by the neck riddled it with bullets. Thoy f hen quietly dispersed and wend ed their ways to their respective homes. Wilson was taken last night from Deputy Vaughn, who had his prisoner on the Georgia train bound for Atlanta. He bad se creted him in the sleeper, but see ing a number of men leave the train at Belair, thought the way was clear, and when nearing Grovetown, carried the negro into the smoker. Seated there were a few of Whitneys friends, who seized the negro, and taking him off at the station, proceeded into the woods to await the coming of others. These were wired to with the results already given. The murder was one of the foulest ever committed in this city, and the citizens are clamorous for separate cars. The laws of Georgia require the railroad authorities to furnish separate cars for white and black, but somehow the street railroad has failed to comply with the requirement. Much praise rs being bestowed upon Rev. Dr. Plunket for his heroic effort to calm the excited crowd la?t night on Broad street and at the jail, and Mrs. Whitney for her request that no lynching occur. The funeral of young Whitney has not yet been announced, bul will, it is thought, c?cur some time tomorrow. Augusta will bo all excitement again tomorrow as the primary foi State and county officers will take place then. , Bad Blood-Cure Free !
