CROWN MILL KI
BUILD KLS MILL
The Crown Cotton Mill is planning
to erect a fifteen thousand spindle
mill.
Several of the heaviest stockholders
and officers of the mill were seen this
morning by an Argus representative
and they admit that the mill will be
built, but will not say where.
It is known that splendid sites
have been offered over in Alabama,
near Stevenson and down near Indian
Spring, in Georgia. The Argus lives
in hope that the owners and officers
will finally decide to build the big new
mill out near the city limits and if
they fear any encroachment by any
possible future extension of Dalton
city limits they can and should encor
porate itself as a village with powers
to prevent any such encroachment.

SOUTHERN
RAILWAY
WING
UP LIVE STOCK INDUSTRY IN
EVERY COUNTY THROUGH
WHICH IT RUNS—AN ITEM OF
INTEREST TO SOUTHERN FAR
MERS—ONE FOR WHITFIELD.
Atlanta, Sept. 18 —The Southern
Railway is endeavoring to build up
the live stock industry throughout the
South, having established a special
department for this work, and is now
inaugurating a movement for the or
ganization of local live stock associa
tions in every county along its lines
in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,
South Carolina, North Carolina, Vir
ginia, Tennessee and Kentucky.
The organization of such local asso
ciations will prove of immense value
to live stock growers. They will
stimulate progress as they give an op
portunity for exchange of ideas and
the distribution of good breeds and the
association exhibits and auction sales
pave the way for excellent county
fairs and live stock shows.
The live stock department of the
Southern Railway is in charge of Mr.
F. L. Word. Live Stock agent, who
has offices in Atlanta. For the next
few months he will devote especial
attention to the formation of county
live stock associations and will be
glad to co-operate with live stock men
in any county along the Southern
railway. A letter addressed to Mr.
Word will bring a prompt reply and
will secure hi sactive interest. He
will be glad to hear from those who
may wish information as to the ad
vantages-of local associations or the
best methods to adopt in organizing
them.
FLORIDA
WOMEN
ASSAULTED
A NEGRO NOW HUNTED DOWN
NEAR JACKSONVILLE.
IS ALSO CHARGEO WITH MURDER
A Lynching Bee is Now Expected if
the Posse Catches the Man.
Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 18—Cicero
Thompson, a carpenter, aged 45, w-as
killed and a woman companion, whom
he was escorting home, was criminally
assaulted by an unknown negro at
Ortego, a suburb of this city, early
Sunday morning. It is thought that
a lynching will follow the arrest un
less the authorities can get the negro
in jail without giving the alarm.
Thompson and the woman had tak
en the last car for home and were ac
costed by the negro about half a mile
from the car line. Without prelimi
naries, the negro fired point blank at
Thompson, killing him instantly, one
bullet going through the head and the
second through the body, near the
heart. The woman stood terror
stricken and was next attacked by
the negro, who choked her into un
consciousness before accomplishing
his purpose.
The locality where the deed was
committed is sparsely settled and no
one heard the shots or the screams.
The woman finally regained eonscV
iousness and sought out some neigh
bors, who gave the alarm. Immedi
ately a posse was formed and scour
ed the woods in the vicinity, but
without result.

Gaynor’s Bible Neglected.
On his tour Mayor Gaynor, of New
York, stopped at Great Barrington to
look at the library of the town, to
which, foureen years ago, while a
summer resident, says the Washing
ton Post, there, he presented a copy
of the Bible.
At that time he wanted a copy for
reference in preparing a speech he was
to make and was shocked to find that
there was no copy of the Bible in the
generous collection of bound volumns
of which the town had always been
proud. He gave a copy to the town
library and on the by leaf of the book
he wrote:
“I have found a great many librar
ies which lacked a great many books
but never before have I found one
like this, which lacked the Great
Book.”
The town has guarded the Gaynor
Bible zealously since 1907; it is in
the pink of condition, never appar
ently having been opened; in fact,
some of the leaves are still uncut.

SHOOTING
PURELY AN
ACCIDENT
HUDSON, THE CORDELE MAN,
CLAIMS TO HAVE BEEN
SHOWING WIFE THE USE
OF GUN.
ORE BULLET HU THEM 80TH
Mrs. Hudson Now Suffering Intense
ly—Friends of Each Corroborate
the Story of Shooting.
Cordele, Sept. 19—Mrs. Abbie
Hudson, who on Sunday afternoon
was shot by her husband, J. T. Hud-
Hudson, a baher, with a 32-caliber
pistol, the bullet entering her left
breast and finding lodgement there,
is suffering intensely, though the
wound is not regarded at present as
a fatal one. The fiusband, w’ho was
also shot at the same time, the bul
let ploughing its way through the
fleshy part of the arm, is improving
and was able to be on the streets to
day.
Hud-on, in a statement made at
the barracks last night to F. M. Law
rence a fellow barber and a close
friend, claims that the shooting was
accidental, that he and his wife were
sitting on the bedside, that he was
showing his wife how he had warded
off a slight difficulty with someone in
the early part of the day, when sud
denly the . pistol was discharged, re
sulting in Hudson being shot in the
shoulder, the bullet then entering the
right breast of Mrs. Hudson. Hud
‘son also claims that only one shot was
fired.
I
According to Mr. Law’rence at a
late hour last night, Mrs. Hudson
' made a statement to him and a brother
' of J. T. Hudson that the shooting was
'accidental and completely exonerat
ed the husband of any murderous in
, tent either upon her or his own life.
A case was made against Hudson by
' the city authorities charging him with
disorderly conduct and discharging
‘ firearms in the city limits. He was
[arrested but gave bond in the sum
-of $250 and was released. His case
I was called today, but was continued
! until September 25, at which time
I developments may shed more light
upon the affair.
