Wilmington. Del. Sept 30.-1he
grand jury of this county came into
court and announced that II had de-
cided TO ignore the bill OF complaint
against eight persons charged with
being implicated in the burning at the
stake last June OF George White, the
colored murderer Of Miss Helen
Bishop. The jury completed us WORK
in connection with the lynchins and
was discharged by The court
After the seven indictments were
ignored there was but one left IL
was against James A. Kane and the
charge was murder in the first degree.
When the jury came into court IL
formally announced to the judges that
the indictment against Kane had been
ignored This ends the lynchine inves-
tigation. with nobody officially
blamed for the tragedy.
OF the eight names presented to the
jury for consideration the evidence
pointed toward a possible chance Of
indicting seven on the charge 81

Had It been case IN which the
guilt was not admitted. the jury said
this member would have acted without
any computation in the matter and all
concerned would have been indicted
The juror then said
Il feel that an error in Judgment has
been made and the grand jury members

EmpIoye of the Express Company

j. A. AIdredge, until recently en-
ployed by the Southern Express Co.,

ed from Ozark, Ala. carrying along

The alleged shortage is something
between $500 and 81, 900, it is said.
The company has offered a reward
of $50 for the arrest of AIdredge. Yes
terday's Constitution contained his
picture, together with full descrip-

Something like month ago young
Aldredge was employed in the Ameri-

TARIFF is EXCESSIVE
Americus Buyers Can't Sell Carolina
Mills,

There is much complaint among
Americus cotton buyers relative to the
existing freight rates on cotton from
this market to Carolina cotton mills
and which, they alleee, are SO high as
to practically shut those mills out OF
the local market
This fact is to be deplored, as the
Carolina mills are among the largest
buyers of cur cotton.
In recent years large percentage of
their cotton was fought in Amerlcus,
Albany, Dawson and other nearby mar
kets, but owing 10 high freight rates
this is not done now.
The rate from Americus to Carolina
mills ranges from 81 cents to 60 cents
per hundred pounds. or S. 80 to So per
bale. The rate from Americus to New
York is only about IS cents, from which
it is seen that the Carolina rate is very
heavy.
This condition has obtained only q
short while, and the matter should be
Investigated.
