a STRIKE IN ATLANTA.

OPERATOR In the Fulton Bag Mills Strike
BecA cAuse Negro Femal- Help is Employed
Atlanta, Ca, August 4.-TwO hund-
red women and girls employed at the
Fulton bag and cotton mills in this city
struck this morning because Of the
employment of negro female help by
the management. At noon the 400 men
employed in the mills walked out in
obedie- ca to the orders of the Textile
Workers Union and in sympathy with
the striking female operatives. This
forced the closing down of the factory.
The strikers gathered in angry groups
about the mills and for time it look
ed as if there might be a riot. The
Fulton bag and cotton mills is one OF
the largest concerns of the kind operat-
ing in the south. The corporation is
successor to the old firm Of Elsas. Nay
& Co., and Jacob Elsas is it's president.
About 500 men, women and children

A CRIMINAL ASSAULT
Made ON q Young Lady of Beaufort County
by n White Man-The Assailant beaten
Of-Hts Arrest and Confession
Especial to The Messenger.)

Especial to The Messenger)
Washington, N. c., August Am
other blot of crime has fallen upon
Beaufort county's history Yesterday
afternoon at late hour our quiet city
was thrown into intense excitement.
An attempt at rape was made upon
the body of Miss Blanche Hodges,
daughter of Mr.. James Hodges, who
resides at Old Ford, six miles from
here, by one Henry Jackson, white
man about % years old.
The facts are: Miss Hodges left
with lady teacher to take her home.
They met Jackson while on the way.
He was in the woods harvesting straw.
When Miss Hodges was returning
home she passed Jackson again. See
ing she was alone, the rascal taking
advantage Of the opportunity and her
position, ran up behind her buggy and
jumped to her back, catching her by
the throat, choking her intensely-so
much so that she was hardly able to
sailant heroically and succeeded in
knocking him off to the ground. She
then put whip to her horse and sped
away for home to tell her story.
The rascal was apprehended and
lodged in Jail. When questioned he
admitted the crime. A News and OBJ
server reporter attempted to interview
the prisoner this morning, but failed.
Evidently he had been warned to hold
his peace.
This is JacksOn's third attempt to
accomplish his hellish work-better
had he never been born. Jackson has
a boyish face, with small claim to in
telligence.
Miss Hodges is the neice of our pop
ular sheriff, r. T. Hodges. She is one
of our most popular and accomplished
young ladies.

cause of the explosion was failure to
have sufficient water in the boilers.
New boilers will be placed at once.
