This Time They Enter Crusade
Against sunday Traffic.


Against sunday Traffic.
Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 19.-The Atlanta min
listers are preparing to make vigorous war
OF the violation of the Sunday laws. A
committee of the ministers went to the
Court House to-day for the purpose OF
calling the attention of the grand jury 10
the fact that many of the merchants and
railroads of the county were violating me
state laws in regard TO Sunday traffic, and
ask that indictments be issued for the al
leged offenders.
After a conference with the solicitor
however the ministers decided that before
taking action they would serve notice of
their intention on the merchants who sell
soda water. cigars, cigarettes and tobac-
CO. and also, on the railroads which make
their employees work on the Sabbath
The committee then prepared the fol-
lowing notice, which they expect 10 serve
on every person they believe guilty of a
violation of the laws: AT a late meeting
the Evangelical Minister'S Association
of Atlanta appointed a committee 10 ap-
pear before the grand jury of Fulton
county and ask for indictments against
all violators in our city of the state laws
governing the observance of the Christian
S9obdth. After mature elaboration we

Another account of the shooting.

Valdosta, Ga, Oct. ia negro named
Marcelus Thomas employed in the build
ing of the bridge over the Withlacoochee
and Little rivers at Troupeville, was shot
TO death last night as he went from his
work to his home,
1t is not known who did the shooting.
Thomas was riddled with shot from gun
and rife, and parties in the neighborhood
say that fifteen shots were fired "A him
The shooting occurred in Brooks county,
the negro's home being two miles from the
river. His father heard the shooting, and
some time later went to look. for the boy,
and found him dead by the roadside.
The old man came here this morning to
buy coffin, and said that he had no idea
who did the shooting. He said his boy
had some trouble with a white man at
Mineola some time ago, but he did not
think that had anything TO do with the
tragedy The negro is said to have been
a big-talking negro, given to Boosting OF
what he would and what he would not DO
1t is possible that he has been talking too
much about the attempt TO lynch the two
negroes In Jail here, and that some mem
bers of the mob shot him. This theory
is based upon the supposition that many
people in that section were in the recent
mob which tried to lynch the murderers
of Nickers.

begins to appear that his action had no
