WAYCRoss, GA, Jan. 31-Six months
ago G. F. Recketson and d. Morri-
son went into a general merchandis-
ing business at Waresboro, Ga. Subse-
quently by consent Morrison bought Rick
etson out. In the settlement some misun-
derstandlng occurred over which the gen.
tlemen at interest fell out. The friends Of
each took the matter up and considerable
bad blood was stirred up over it. Ricket-
son did not make many friends there after
this and concluded to close out and leave.
Night before last, as the story goes which
has just reached here, Ricketson went to
Waresboro to settle up his affairs.

depot, no was fired upon by unknown
parties from without The doors and

FEMALE WHITE SLAVES.
THEIR EARNINGS JUST ENOUGH TO
STAVE OFF STARVATION.

The Commissioner of the Departm ent
of Labor Makes His Annual Report
The Facts and Figures Confined to
Those Who Toll In the Great Cities.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. -CarrOllD D. Wright,
commissioner of the department Of labor
to-day submitted to the Secretary of the
Interior his fourth annual report, which
deals exclusively with the subject OF "o ork-
ing women in great cities" Commissioner
Wright in his introduction, says that the
object of the investigation now under consid-
Grafton, was to secure information relative
TO the condition of the working
women in our great cities. by
working women is meant that class OF
women who earn their living IN occupa-
tions calling for manual labor. The profrs-
sional and semi professional calllngs, like
those of teaching, stenography, type
writing. telegraphy, etc, have not, as
rule. been recognized in the investigation.
THOSE IN THE LIST
Those women who work in the great city
shops npon light manual or mechanical
labor. or in stores, are those that are recog-
nized under the popular term working
women The study compartments 342
distinct industries, and relates TO twenty
two different cities as follows; Atlanta,
Ga, Baltimore, boston, brooklyn, CHaFlss-
ton, s. c., Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland,
Indianapolis, Louisville, Newark, n. J.,
New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia,
Providence, Richmond Va, San Fran
cisco, San Jose, Cali, st. Louis, st. Paul
and Savannah.
THoROUGHLY REPRESENTATIVE.
These twenty-five cities must be con-
sidered as thoroughly representative, so far
as locality is to be taken into account. The
department has not sought, the report says,
to secure information relating entirely to
any particular class like those employed in
the very lowest forms of work. and living
in the slums Of the city nor, on
the other hand, TO those gagged in
what might be called the highest
forms of labor and living lin a style that
would take them out Of the category of
working women, but the great representa-
tive employnents have been considered and
the grade of women that should be repre-
sentative within these employments.
NEARLY ALL GIRLS.
The report shows that the working
women in the great cities are practically
girls The average age in all the |
cities comprehended is % years and
z months The highest average age is
found in Charleston, s. C.-25 years and ! |
month. The lowest average is in st. Paul |
