negro is killed
BY A WHITE MAN.
Monroe Hutcherson, -While Working - for Alabama
Construction Cos., Shoots Negro Dumpman.
A negro laborer named John
Morgan was shot and instantly
killed by a white laborer named
Monro# Hutcherson.
The killing occurred on the
grade of the L. & N.. about two
miles from camp No. 2, which is
located near the farm of Mrs. R.
Pyron. and happened about 3:30
o’clock Saturday afternoon. After
the killing Hutcherson made his
escape and is still at large.
About the middle of last week
four white men came to the works
of the Alabama Construction Com
pany and asked for work. They
were put to work and one of them,
Hutcherson, was engaged in driv
ing one of the scrapers Saturday.
The negro, John Morgan, was en
gaged in dumping the load, and
directed Hutcherson to drive fur
ther in on the fill. It i= the busi
ness of the dump man to see that
the driver carries the dirt to the
proper spot, and it is also the
dumper who is held responsible for
the neatness and exactness of the
.embankment.
It is said that the negro told the
white man to drive further in on
the fill several times but that no
attention was paid to his directions.
Finally the negro, who was an old
and trusted employe of the com
pany, told the driver that if he
drove so near the brink of the fill
any more he would call Mr. Man
ning, the foreman. The next load,
it is said, was driven as all the
others had been, and the negro
held rip his hand and motioned for
Mr. Manning, who started towards
them. When he came near, it is
Isaid, Hutcherson reached in his
pocket and drew a double-barreled
derringer and snot the negro
through the abdomen.
The negro fell and died within a
few moments.
After the shooting Hutcherson
stood off the bystanders with his
pistol until he found a chance to
run, when be soon escaped to the
woods. Mr. Manning and the oth
ers present gave chase as quickly
as possible. Bloodhounds were
brought from the camp, two miles
distant, and a mounted posse, led
by Walking Boss Walton, pursued
the fugitive for many miles into
the country, going in the direction
of Canton. The trail of Hutcher
son was lost near midnight in a
dense swamp, about fourteen miles
from Cartersville.
Hutcherson is about twenty
years old, weighs about 135 pounds,
has brown hair and eyes and dark
complexion. He walks erect, with
a quick step. The Alabama Con
struction Company will pay $25 for
his arrest and delivery to the legal
officers.
John Morgan had been with the
Alabama Construction Company
for many years, and was one of the
most trusted and most valued men
of the working force. The officers
of the company feel naturally in
dignant at his murder. He was
buried mar the works Sunday.
All Enjoyable Occasion.

Euford Greene entertained at a

THE MODEL SCHOOL

This Institution.
MASSACHUSETTS HELP
Success Attributable to tine Man
agement on Part of General
Manager and Teachers-
Dear Editor: Allow me to call
the attention of your many readers
throughout the coupty to the Bar
tow County Model School at Cass
Station, which is just reopening
for its winter’s work..
This is a model school because
there the children have not only
first-class training in the usual lit
erary branches, but their minds
are also taught how to guide the
eye and hand in useful, remuner
ative ways.
The Couuty Board of Education
has given the school its hearty
support, and our efficient teachers.
Miss Dozier and Mrs. Clark, have
been enabled to carry on their
work with enthusiasm because of
the fact that the trustees of the
school and our superintendent of
county schools were heartily in
sympathy with the work.
The installation of the industrial
training was made possible by the
generosity of the Massachusetts
Federation of Women’s Clubs,
which, during the last two years,
has given SI,OOO to this work.
I am delighted to announce that
the same federation has undertak
en to continue the support of the
work for this year.
I am delighted to announce that
the same federation has undertak
en to continue the support of the
work for this year. That it has
taken so great an interest in the
school is largely due to the realiza
tion of the ladies of their educa
tion committee that our school has
been beautifully managed. Mrs.
M. L. Johnson, of Cass Station,
was made manager of the indus
trial work by the president of the
Georgia Federation, ana, after
looking over the report, the chair
man wrote: “The finances have
been managed remarkably well.’
Only those who have done such
work can know the labor entailed
by such a responsibility a that
borne by Mrs. Johnson.
I beg that all who are interested
in having Bartow county fully
abreast of the times in education
will visit the school and see the
children as their bright faces show
the intere c t which has been awak
ened in their work. See then,

Th On me Law.
There are several points in the
new law which may be of interest
to those who love a day in the
field with dog and gun. Nopersou
is permitted to kiL more than
forty doves or more than fifteen
quails in one day. No one can kill
any game for the purpose of sell
ing it except on his owu land, un
less, of rnurse, he obtains explicit
permission to hunt on the land of
others. “Pot hunters’’ as those
who kill game for the market are
generally known, must pay a li
cense fee of $25 to the ordinary of
the county before they can do busi
ness It is strictly against the law
to ship any partridge or quail out
of the state, no matter where or by
whom they are killed.
The law prohibits hunting upon
the lands of another unless the
sportsman bearsja written permit
from the owner.
To Candidates.

Old Series—2sth Year
The water from the cottbn fac
tory pumps was turned into the
city mains Monday afternoon, and
an ample test of the pressure from
that end of the line was made,
which was found most satisfactory.
The city pressure was entirely
cut off, and with the factory press
ure alone in force streams of water
were thrown high up on the court
house and over the roof ot the
Methodist church. The city press
ure is about 80 pounds, and this
was equaled by the pressure from
the factory pumps working alone.
The pump at the factory, which
is of the newest and most improved
pattern, worked perfectly, but was
not tested up to its full capacity,
which would reach 250 pounds in
the city. The factory pump is
supplied with a twenty-four inch
pipe from Pettit’s creek, which
furnishes an inexhaustible quan
tity of water. The factory pumps
alone, with no help from the city
water works, could keep going
something like twelve streams
in the city of Cartersville, so that
in case of a serious fire or of the
total disability of the city water
works the factory pumps could and
would supply the city of Carters
ville with twelve powerful streams
of water from Pettit’s creek.
The capacity of the factory
pump is 80 strokes per minute, and
in the test last Monday it was run
only up to thirty strokes, and with
this speed developed preenure in
Cartersville equal to that furnished
by the city water works.
Under the insurance require
ments the cotton factory will have
steam on their boilers at all times
of sufficient pressure to operate
these fire pumps, and consequently
will be in position to give Carters
ville water at fire pressure at all
times.
Under the existing arrangement
the city of Cartersville can call
upon the factory people at any
time circumstances demand it, and
have the full benefit of their pumps
and water supply. The city au
thorities and the cotton factory
management were highly gratified
over the success of the test.
