Captain Hitch Who Tried to Prevent
 Lynching Acts.


 Lynching Acts.
 Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 19.--According to a special from statesboro to-day the town and surrounding country are quiet and no disturbance has been reported. The chief interest now centers about the at titude of the Statesboro military com pany regarding its part in the work of last Tuesday. Lieutenant Cone, who was in charge of the company, is quoted as saying that he no longer wants to be a ''tin soldier.'A
 He is reported to have, said that, with his company of forty men he could have protected the two negroes from the mob. As it passed by. the guard tent, fifty soldiers were on duty there, who. had the order been given could easily have tal., en the prisoners and held them against the mob.
 Lieutenant Griner, second in com mand, is quoted to the same intent. Captain R. M. Hitch of Savannah who was in command of the troops at States boro, will demand, so it is reported, a court in inquiry of his conduct and that of his soldiers. Captain Hitch in his official report charges that Sheriff Ken- dricks and his deputies betrayed all his plans to the mob. Sheriff Kendrick has ordered a. most emphatic denial of every charge and, in effect, charges the mili- tary with neglect of duty. The matter will rest until the return of Governor Terrell from St. Louis. He is expected here on Monday, and it is certain from directions that he is said to have made to his official cabinet here that a most searching investigator will be ordered.

A correspondent asks to know the
number Of passengers and employees
killed per thousand Of passengers car
ried and per thousand of men employed
by the railroads. says the New York
Journal. According to the statistics OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission
the railroads Of the United States in
1902 employed 1,1so,3l5 persons in all
capacities, and carried Gas. S7S.505 pas
sengers. The loss Of life in 1902 was
1860 employees and 345 passengers.
Taking the employees first we find that
25 were killed for every thousand EN-

killed for every thousand passengers
carried In 1902. Of the passengers 90
were killed for every thousand en-
ployes and about COOS for every thou
