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.
