THREE NEGROES WHIPPED
A Deplorable Affair at the Kincaid
Mills Last Night-
Thia morning the best elemi-nt
ibis city beard with horror tb it there
had been an uprising at the Kim:..id
mills, on the northern suburbs of the
city, and that three negroes hud I-..- n
whipped.
As no particulars were forthcoming,
it naturally made them apprehensive
that the blacks bad become turbuh nt
and had endangered the peace of the
section around the mill.
Very soon, however, it was learned
that the three negroes v! h 1 «erc
employees—two in a menial canacity
at the mill, and the other as a private
servant, and that the only crime th y
were charged with, was that they » ere
earning salaries upon the mill
A Call representative made a v:eit
to the mill to find out the full particu
lars, and every one that was talked
with expressed the deepest condemna
tion of the act, and it is not I . lie v> d :
that a single one of the best element ;
there had anything to do with the:
matt.- r.
The negroes whipped were Bob
dooes, the private servant of Supt. A.
G. Martin; Jim Nunnally, the mill
scavenger, and Torn Grant, tho dray
man. They were taken out abeut 10
o’clock and carried near the old Cen
tral railroad quarries, where they were
unmercifully beaten by a crowd which
is said to have been composed of about
2o or 30 people, only four of whom
were from the Kincaid mill.
Supt. Martin was busy at dinner
and didn’t have time to be seen and
no expression could be bad from him.
A prominent mill boss stated that
he heard the scream of a woman
about 12:15 o’clock, an 1 at once
jumped up and saw a crowd in front
of one of the houses occupied by one
of the negroes, and by the time he
could get hie clothes they left and he
did not care to follow alone. Futher
more he says everyone,except probably
the ones engaged in the affair, con
demns it and are sorry that it occur
red. Every operative talked with, ex
pressed himself the same way, ami
one said that his wife was so nervous!
over the affair that he thought of
sending her off’ for several months.
Besides these three, the negroes that
have been at work clearing the yard ■
were warned and today they all walked :
out and sought work elsewhere; one 1
of them, Tom Morris, going to street ■
overseer Hudson and asking that he I
be allowed to work out (he amount of i
his taxes, and was taken or that force.|
This negro said that they left because;
they were afraid cf cruel treatn •cl if
they stayed.
President \V. .1 Kincaid was seen
and he said that ho deplored it fr m
the fact that the negroes were guilty
of nothing eave working on the out
side of ths factory in menial positions,
that no white man would fill the po
sitions that was capable of attending*
ti them.
He characterized the affair .u being I
an outrage that sh >uld not g < npun
iihed. He says the officers of the mills
know several who were in the party
and they will use every means to ob
tain sufficient evidence to convict
them in the courts. He is highly in
dignant and declares the guilty parties
shall be surely punished if be can
secure the necessary evidence against
them.
Vice President Seaton Grantlaud
went out and looked over the situa
tion, and his utterances be ir n tin
ceitain tone.
He said “J am in favor of punishing
the negro or anyone else when they
have been guilty of crimes that will
warrant it, but these three negroes
that were whipped by this crowd last
night were guilty only of being em
ployees around the factory. 1 learn
that only four of the crowd that en-
B-iged in the affair belonged to the
Kincaid Milla and that most of the
others were outsiders and hangers on.
I cannot defend crime in any shape or
form no matter by whom committed,
or upon whom practiced and I mijs t
say that this affair was both outrageous
end deplorable from any standpoint.”
The mill is in anything but a quiet
state, owing to rumors that they hear
and have no time to verify.
