PIG STRIKE IN ATLANTA.
700 OPERATIVES WALK OUT,
There was a big strike at the
Fulton Cotton Mills, located on
the Georgia railroad, in Atlanta
last week.
The cause of the strike was
the employment of twenty-five
negro women, who were expect
ed to work side by side with
while women in this factory.
This was believed to be the en
tering wedge to a gradual sub
stitution of negro labor in this
factory for white labor, because
they could be employed cheap
er.
These operatives have for
years been given employment,
and did faithful work year after
year. Put they have not lost
their self-respect, and when old
man Kisas put the negroes in
to work, the entire body retired
from the building, and a bloody
riot was only prevented by the
good ndvice of older and more
conservative men.
The sympathy of the public
was with the women, and they
were icon raged to hold out
faitiifully to the end. A truce
was patched up, and the mana
gers or the factory consented
to discharge the negroes in con
sideration that the operatives
would agree to work extra hours.
They refused to go into any
written agreement, and a storm
may break out at any moment.
COTTON RATES TO REMAIN
The Railroad Commission has
had under consideration for
some time the petition filed by
the Griflin Poard of Trade ask
ing t lint the rate on cotton by
the railroads of the State l»e re
duced 25 per cent.
Both sides have been given a
full hearing, and the Commis
sion has decided to allow the
old rates to stand.
The Commission says that
thev are of theopiuion that the
present revenue*, of the rail
roads will not authorize any re
duction in the rate of cotton
shipped over these lines.
A large number of these roads
have been in the bands of re
ceivers and have not been able
to earn any dividends for stock
holders. They are just getting
on their feet again, and to re
duce the rate on cotton would
tend to force them back into
bankruptcy.
THREE MURDER CASES IN
JACKSON.
Jackson Superior court was
in session last week. Most of
the time was devoted to the
civil docket. The Grand Jury
was busy preferring bills of in
dictment,
Pills were found against Gra
dy Reynolds and Pud Prooks
for the murder of M.C.Huut,
and one against Harvill for the
murder of Wright, These cases
will be taken up this week, and
all of them will probably be
tried.
A large crowd is in attend
ance, and there is great interest
taken in the cases. Both mur
ders seem to have been wilful
and premeditated, and there is
a strong prejudice against the
accused.
In the eases of Reynolds and
Prooks there is no question of
their guilt, they having con
fessed and shewed where the
money was that they killed
Hunt to obtain.
In the other case, the De
fendant denies his guilt, and is
making a strong light for his
life. The circumstances which
are relied on for conviction ore
strong, but may not besurtiesnt
to authorise a conviction.
REFUSED TO HAUL CARS.
The railway men of Atlanta
were so strongly in sympathy
with the women in the Fulton
cotton mills that they refused
to deliver cars in the yards of
the company.
The Confederate veterans met
and adopted resolutions of sym
pathy with the white women
who refused to work under
negro bosses.
Mr. Fisas will find that Ins
disposition to deprive these j»eo
ple of jobs in order to work the
negroes in, will meet determin
ed opposition from all classes
of people.
Thera will lie no falling ofT in
the return of taxable property
in this State this year.
Returns have been received at
the Comptroller’s office from
112 counties.
The returns from Gwinnett
show for IWMJ, 12,886,185?, for
18117, $2,878,118, a decrease of
s7,oiy.
THE TIDE COMING-
Ever since McKinley took
control of the government the
people have been watching the
Eastern sky to see the gray
streaks of the coming dawn of
prosperity. But they liavo look
ed in vain. The country has
been swept by failures, bank
ruptcy and hard times just as
it was when Mr, Cleveland al
lowed Wall street to manipu
late the treasury so that the
sharks could make big fortunes.
But at last we signs of coming
prosperity. It does not come
from Washington, or the Re
publican party, nor yet from
the gold bugs, but it comes
from a higher source, from
whence “all blessings flow.’’
It is the crop outlook, With
no misfortune from nowon, the
county wiil be blessed with
magnificent crops. The wheat
crop was extraordinarily good,
corn will be in abundance, and
the outlook for cotton is better
than it lias been for years. It
is trae these crops will not
bring much money, but there
will be plenty in the land.
Well may we sing “Every pros
pect pleases and only man is
vile.”
We are going to have some
prosperity despite the machina
tions of ringsand combinations,
high tariffs, Wall street and
the devil,
THE J EDGES ON LYNCHING
The Judges of the Superior
courts have begun their fall
riding, and are educating the
people on the subject of lynch
ing. They denounce it in the
severest terms as rebellion
against law and order and a
menace to society.
With the press, the pulpit and
the judiciary thundering their
denunciation of mob law, the
good people of the land will
unite to suppress this crime,
for it is a crime of the highest
grade.
RUCKER GOES IN.
Last Thursday night Henry
A. Rucker, the negro Revenue
Collector for Georgia, was duly
installed in office. Fourteen
white men resigned their posi
tions liecause they were unwill
ing to work under a negro.
These places will have to be
filled by appointment. There
is a hungry horde of office seek
ers standing at the door with
their hats off, ready to take the
places made vaouut.
WHAT IS PARANOIA ?
The medical profession is con
stantly (hiding new names for
old diseases. We do not know
that it changes the nature of
the disease or makes it more
curable, but doctors love big
names that mysrifv the average
man.
The question is frequently
asked, what is paranoia, the dis
ease with which Flanagan is
el aimed to suffer and which
was sought to be used as an ex
cuse for the murders w ith which
he stands charged ?
Dr.T. O. Powell, Superinten
dent of the Lunatic Asylum,
who is presumed to know some
thing of mental disordi rs, gives
the following definition of it:
‘•Paranoia,” said he, “is an
illusion, hallucination or delu
sion. A (terson may be crazy
on on one or two subjects and
yet as intelligent as you or I on
any other question. This is
very often the case at the asy
lum where we have all kinks of
people with all kinds of ail
ments. Paranoia is u term for
what is better known as mono
mania. It lias been used for
gome time, but only recently
was interest aroused in it thru*
the Flamgan case in Atlanta.
A person with melancholia be
lieves that he is punished and
that the punishment is just Gut
a paranoiac believes that he is
being persecuted,
“That,” concluded the doc
tor, “is the difference between
melancholia and paranoia.”
DROWNS IIHR CHILD.
I della Hanks, u negro woman
of Brooks county, drowned her
four year old child to get rid of
it. The child had always been
sickly and she was t ired of it.
She is now in jail and confesses
the crime. She says when she
threw it in the pond it did not
scream but clung to her dress
Hiid it took all her strength to
pull it loose, and she did not
look buek to see what become of
it.
Three thousand people pay
business license in Atlanta.
They tax a mail for doing any
kind of business in that city
except loafing—they go free,
aud there is a camp meeting of
them,
THE BLALOCK COMMITTEE.
This committee, which has
been investigating the finances
of the State for 75 days, has
about completed its labors and
is ready to submit a report.
The members claim to have
saved the State 931,815 and ask
the Legislature to pav them for
the work $1,815.
It is rumored that, there will
be some sensational disclosures
made by the committee which
will stir up quite a scene in the
Legislature. And it is intima
ted that there will be a minori
ty and majority reports sub
mitted.
DIED FROM EXCITEMENT.
Mrs. Withers, of LaFafay
ette, Ga., died very suddenly
last Friday. Her barn was
struck by lightning and set it
on li.e destroying it. The old
lady was so overcome by the ex
citement that she sank down
and was dead in a few minutes.
ABOUT PENSIONS.
The pension rolls of the
United States increase yearly.
It seems that 32 years would
decrease the number, but it
grows. Last year there were
31,900 deaths among pensioners
but 50,<XX) were added. That is
a burden, but liko the poor we
always have with us. There
are now nearly a million pen
sioners.
M KIN LEY GOT BEAT.
The Vice President beat .the
President in a game of billiards.
And this is of sufficient import
ance to be telegraphed all over
the United States.
There is a greater scarcity of
cotton just now <>n the markets
of this country than has been
known for many years. In fact,
some mills have had to shut
down for want of the fleecy
staple. Put strange to say, the
price has not kept pace w ith the
demand. The general rule that
supply and demand regulate
prices has not proven true in
this matter. This may be ac
counted for on the idea that
the mill men cannot afford at
the present prices of the goods
to pay higher prices for cotton,
and the fact that the new crop
is just beginning to appear on
the market warns them te bold
up, for a time at least. Within
30 days the new crop will begin
to move, and there will be an
ample supply for home con
: sumption.

A SLIGHT DECREASE.
Norcrosa Tribune.
The tax digest of Gwinnett
county for the year 1897, just
completed ami turned in to the
Comptroller’s otlice at Atlanta,
shows a decrease in taxable val
ues of $7,089, as compared to
the returns of last year.
These returns are subject to
revision by the next grand jury,
and if that body finds that
< wners of property have been
placing too low a valuation on
1 their holdings, a re-assessment
will be in order.
Gwinnett county is in a most
prosperous condition, and so
far as we are able to observe,
has made no step backward
within the past twelve months.
On thecontiary, improvements
are to he noted on every band.
It is, therefore, quite a disap
pointment to note a decrease in
the returns, when an increase
was confidently expected.
