City Guards, fifty men, assembled
at their armorY in Atlanta at
II:3o and few minutes 1ater a
special train was in readiness for
them. Governor Gambler decided
however, to await further adj
vices from GAINESVILLE before
ordering the train to leave.
The trouble dates back one
week, when the lady operators
in the Oxford Knitting Mills
struck because several negroes
were given employment by the
management. 1t was admitted
Saturday that the mill could not
be run with out the white help
aud the negroes were consequent
ly discharged. The negroes
mingled with their race and ln>
dulged in considerable talking.
Saturday night three Of the neg
roes who had been discussing
the affair freely We're taken out
by a crowd of white men and
soundlv whipped This perfor~
nance was repeated again last
night and the negroes in retall>
alton threatened to burn the
town.
The prompt action Of the
sheriff however, prevented any
trouble and at midnight all was
quiet with the militia guarding
the town.
