New York, Jan. 11.-Bradstreet's

year opens quietly. but with satisfac-
tory features predominating. Cold,
stormy weather has retarded business
and transportation, but in some sec
lions has stimulated sales of heavy
goods, shoes and rubbers. at retail.
Wholesale business is seasonably
quiet at leading Eastern and Central
Western markets, but it is worth not

have begun at the Southwest. Col
lections show a slight Improvement
and money is easing. supplies Of that
commodity being better than hereto
fore. Pre- parations for spring are go
ing forward actively and with a good
show of conservative confidence.
War talk has been a stimulus to
many markets. notably those for
cereals and provisions, but securities
and cotton have been depressed there
by. Iron and steel in the cruder forms
have shown steadiness. Lumber is in
active export demand with quotations
held firmly. The growing ease of
money is regarded as favorable to
widespread activity in building the

COLE TO BOOST

Hon. A. L. Cole, assem- blyman

Representative Cole says that in

will work the logs into lum Der

The people Of Walker, Richards

has not made up his mind yet. AS for
myself l am opposed to lease, quite
strongly so, in fact. do not take
any stock in the idea that the State
cannot manage its own property. Of
course if Ballard takes the same view
il of course blocks any lease. We can

TRIAL OF LYNCHERS
Examination Iato the Statesbses Case
Begua
CAPT. nITcd TRIES TO EXPLAIN
First Evidence In the Investigation
Military at statesboro.

Savannah, Ga, Specialize first
evidence was introduced today before
the court OF inquiry appointed by
Governor Terrell to investigate the
conduct OF the two compani~- OF Geor-
gia State troops at State sboro a few
days ago. when two negroes we're
burned.
The Governors correspondence was
read, showing him to have dispatched
company from Savannah. under
Captsin Robert NJ Hitch to States
boro to Join the Ststesboro Guards
In the protection of the prisoners.
Col. Grayson considered that Captain
Hitch had the judgment and bravery
that would enable him to cope with
the delicate situation.
Captain Hitch then took the stand,
giving evidence for sever al hours. He
maintained that the plans of the mob
had been SO cal efully laid that not
even regiment of soldiers could
have successfully resisted them.
These plans even contemplated the
destruction Of the railroad leading to
Etatesboro in order to prevent the
arrival of re-enforcements should
they have been ordered to the scene.
His own experience as a military
man, reaching over IA years and ac-
quired in all grades up to tEat OF
captain, was recited by Captain Hitch,
who told Of having before par
ticipated in riot duty and Of having
observed the moral effect upon a
crowd that the command Load" car
ries.- This command he had intended
giving at the proper time, but just
before that time, in his opinion, was
reached, he was seized by muscular
deputy sheriff, who threw him down
stairs to the mob below, which
promptly disarmed him. 1t was to
this seizure that Captain Hitch at
tributed his failure to make more
desperate effrot for the defense Of the
prisoners.
One statement made by Captain
Hitch was thought strange, in that
| it showed lack of information that
! few interested were without. He said
| he had had 10 intimation of the pur-
pose of the mob to seize and lynch
the negroes as soon as they should
| be convicted. Even in Savannah, 60
miles from Statesboro, it was authen.
tically reported that the mob con.
templated selling and burning the
negroes just as soon as possible after
their conviction.
Members Of the court sought to
| learn why Captain Hitch had not or
dered up his reserves Of 40 or so men
from the Jail. He was asked If he
did not recognize the need for them
to which he answered that he did, and
that he was praying for them to come
Then why did you not send fol
them?" asked a member of the court
Because l could not think of every
thing at once" said Captain Hitch
who had, however, according to his
testimony, dispatched Lieut.. A. A.
Morrison to the telegraph Office to re
quest that more troops be sent from
Savannah.
