FARMER KILLED BY NEGRO,
FELL INTO HIS NIFE'S ARMS AT.
TER THE FATAL SHOT.
The Assassin Then Tried to Break
Into the Davis Home But the
Door Was Locked.

ATLANTA, May 12.-The murder of
Robert +. Davis, well koWn citizen OF
DeKalb county, residing a mile out
from Decatur, at an early hour this
morning, may bring on lynching
there.
Will Lucas, negro employed on the
PAWS farm, IS supposed to have
committed the crime, and there is
some ground for the suspicion that
he intended to supplement- the assas.
sinatiOn of the head of the family
with another even more horrible
crime.
After he had shot Mr.. Davis, through
the window, leaving his wife and
daughter unprotected. the negro went
to the front door and eudeaVored to
get inside the house, but was finally
frightened away by the screams of the
women.
Mr.. Davis had discharged the negro
on account of his worthlessness, but
at the time of his dismissal he did not
show any resentment. Last night
early, however, he came to the house
and tried TO effecr an entrance This
was before the family had retired. Mr..
Davis went QUO to see what caused the
noise, and plainly saw the negro max
off, recognizing him as Lucas.
About l O'Clock this morning, Mr..
Davis was again aroused by noise in
the rear of the house He got up and
went out TO see what it was. Standing
in the back door he struck match
Just as he did so, a bullet came crash,
ing through the window and struck
him below the heart Mrs. Davis had
followed him, and was by his side lust
in time to catch him as he was falling.
Mrs. Davis and her daughter quickly
locked the door and began screaming.
Thar cries brought neighbor who
had also heard the shot to the scene.
and IN short while a posse with
bloodhounds was making search for
the assassin.
Nj. Davis was MORALLY wounded.
He rallied only long enough to ind,-
cate that the negro, Lucas, was the
one who shot him, and then sank
steadily ana died this afternoon. The
murder has caused great deal o. ex-
element about Decatur, and threats OF
.ynching !sere freely INDUCED in.
The negro was supposed to have
headed toward Atlanta after leaving
the Davis home. as he has relatives
here, and the local police at once be-
gan close search for him.

VISION, GA, MAY nth, 1899.

The sermon of Bishop w. j. Gaines
of the A. M. E. church in Atlanta
Sunday on the race problem was filled
with sound Judgement and beneficial
advice to his race, and negroes would
do well to follow his precept. If the
negroes of the south would heed the
counsel of such leaders as Bishop
Gaines and Booker Washington and
turn deaf ear to their pretended
friends, the politicians, who are con-
stsntly trying to create strife between
the two races, they would be far bet
ter off in both material and Telig,
iOus sense, and the expenditure Of
rope and fire as means of vengeance
would cease for the crime which excites
lynch law would soon become thing
of the past

complaints.
According to the most aggravated
ones, Gov. Gambler and the whole Gpor-

According to the stories told by the
returning colonies, the governor and his
staff were left to hustle for themselves
from the time they struck Charlestcn's

LAST NIGHTS FIRE.

There was a real old-fashloned fire last
night down at 215 East Front street, to
which the people, old and young, came
from block around. The fire was IN a
two-story frame structure in the rear OF
the old Windsor hotel. Both mad been
unoccupied for a long time. How the fire
originated is unknown, but it had a good
start when the department arrived, n
an unusually large volume of smoke was
| pouring out of the building on all sides.
Front street is known to contain several
| blocks of fire traps. A few fires have
emanated among them, but none of any
consequence. The citizens often speak of
| these cd buildings and predict a roaring
big fire some day. When all the smoke
was seen last night a big fire on Front
street was expected. and the people
turned out by the hundreds. The streets
, and alleys near the fire were black with
a surging mass of humanity, who did not
| have long to wait. because the firemen
! had the blaze ~extinguished in less than
80 minutes. The building was owned by
the A. c.. NJ. company and was insured.
The loss Will not exceed 500.
