"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

which takes no pride in the nobie
achievements of remote ancestry
will never achieve anything worthy
to be remembered by remote

of the record which the committee

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.

to hide their beauty by covering
the lower part of the face with a veil.
