“To Colored People Only.”
For an entire week there ‘has been
appeatihg In one of the Atlanta papirr
the following advertisement, displayed
conspicuously In:big type: • •
"For rent to.eolorcd people only—129
Mangum stre'et, two doors from Mitch •

ences given will hack tenant for any
leasonable amount.”
The advertisement Is peculiar In sev
eral respects; and an investigation was
made. .Several residents In the neigh •
horhood were seen and all stated thet
It was done because W. E. Wimpy, th *
owner of the property,> wantad- to get t , ro poslt|on, and no personal
even with Rev. A. C. Ward, who lives nn | mog |, v or grievance had anything to

with • Mr. Ward for causing mo »q
leavb.”
Or. Ward Emphatie.
Dr. Ward denounced the action In
strong term*.
'i'can't see,” he said, f'iiow It could
be anything but spite. Why should Mr.
Wimpy advertise this house for $15 a
month, when It had been bridging $40?
Why should he advertise It Mr negroes
only, and why should he be so anxious
to rent It-to negroes that be offers to
back them up?
"The neighbors are all making ar
rangements to move out. We shall pe
tition the city government to do some
thing to protect us, If thnt is possible.
My church will certainly take action
tomorrow, and, will probably -bring suit
against Mr. Wimpy for the depreda
tion of the value of the church prop
erty, because of the negro boarding
house.
"I never heard of such a trick before.
It’s awful,”
As a representotive of The Georgian
passed the negro boarding house a
woman was heard to say: “The man
who rented that house to negroes ought
to be hung.
“I tried to get that house a week ago
at a much higher figure,” she explained,
"and he said he wouldn't let me have It
for $100 per month, for he wanted
negroes to llvo there. I asked him why,
Ahd ho said because I wouldn't, stay
there as long as negroes would.”
Buiinen Trsniaction.
Mr. Wimpy, In a telephone conversa

Iness transaction.
"I put the ad. In to attract attention.

PRETTY GIRL IS MURDERED
AND HER LOVER WOUNDED
BY TAILOR IN SWEAT SHOP
Slain Woman Wgs to Have Been Bride in
Few Weeks—Her Taunts Supposed to
Have Caused Tragedy.
New Yofl? Nov.' 27.—There was mur
der done In Nathan Holler's sweat shop.
In Spring street, today.
Antoinette Naccoi, a pretty 19-year-
old Italian girl, who vu to have been
a bride In two weeks' time, was shot
through the head and the left breast
and died Instantly.
The young man whom she was to
have married, Vlneento Lavora. was
shot, too, but his wounds are not se
rious. : He Is now In St. Vincent hos
pital.
The man who Is charged with the
shooting Is Gulseppe I'iglla. He Is a
little wixened-up bit of a mail, and an
expert tailor. It Is said that It was the
Jealousy which the little tailor aroused
In Antoinette Naccoi und her sweet
heart, who, though they had worked In
the shop more than two years, could
not equal the newcomer's work, that
led to the fatal shooting.
If any one had been so unfortunate
as to have been at the corner of De
catur and Courtland streets Tuesday
morning at 2 o'clock, underneath an
Immense steel girder which was being
hoisted for the/new Washington street
viaduct. It would have been necessary
to'remove the remains from the pave
ment with a scraper.
For the girder, which weighs only ten
tons and Is but 61 feet long, after hav
ing be*n raised almost Into position
across Decatur street, suddenly fell
with a tremendous, crash, a distance
of 12 feet to the pavement, the result
ot a little prank of one of tKe work
men.
This workman was charged with the
special duty ot holding a guy rope,
which controlled the entire proceed
ings. When the big girder was several
feet In thet air the man with the guy
rope probably began to wonder what
the result would be If the girder should
fall. And then, with a view of satisfy
ing his curioalty, the workman, with
out any warning whatever, suddenly let
go 0ie rope.
As the girder tended the man who
had turned loose the rope proceeded 10
'flight a rag." He got way, from the
scene as quickly as possible and has
not been seen since.
Several hours of hard work had been
required to get the girder In readiness
for hoisting, and all of this work had
to be gone over again after the acci
dent. Shortly before daylight the gird
er was again hoisted and this time w..s
placed In’ position, spanning Decatur
street. In order to raise the girder. It
was necessary to cut the trolley wires
In Decatur street.
It was announced Tuesday that that
remaining girder will be raised Wed - •
need ay night. The police have been
asked to. have special men on the scene
to prevent people from congregating
and endangering themselves.
