The News Cov ers Its Field Like the Sun shine. yew Series—Vol. IV—No 4 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.

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.

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. A Special Sermon. On next Sunday, Dec. 4, at n o’clock a. m., I will preach at the Baptist church a special sermon on the evils of a street fair.
