KNITTING MILL
TO START TODAY
NUMBER OF OPERATIVES HAVE
BEEN SECURED TO WORK
AT THE PLANT.

The Brunswick Knitting Mill, which
has been shut down for some time ow-
ing to the fact that Manager Moody
could not secure sufficient labor, will
start up this morning and before the
end of the week 1t is expected that
the mill will be running in full force.
After many efforts Manager Moody
has succeeded in securing a number
of experienced laborers from other cit
les. Twelve have already arrived in
The city from Tifton and will be at the
plant when it starts up this morning,
while twelve Others, who were former
ly employed by Mr.. Moody in South
Carolina, will arrive from that state
later in the week to work at the mill.
Manager Moody has the plant in ex-
cellent condition and everything is in
readiness for operation. The delay in
beginning work has been entirely due
to the fact that it seemed impossible
to secure labor. The plant has never
been operated on full time for this
reason, but it is net expected that any
more trouble will be experienced in
this line
The men who have been secured are
experienced operatives and they will
come here to stay. Most of them are
married and will remove their families
to the city as soon as possible.

A MYSTERIOUS
SHOOTING SCRAPE
JONES CLAIMS HE DID NOT
SHOOT; WOMAN SAYS 1T
WAS ACCIDENTAL

A rather mysterious shooting affray
among negroes occurred last night
shortly after II o'clock and very diff
ferent tales are told by Vincent Jones,
the negro who is supposed to have
done the shooting, and Lena Watson,
the negress who was wounded.
Jones, who is son of the pastor
of the First Methodist church (col-
oredl, was arrested shortly after the
shooting by the mounted police The
woman, who received a bullet through
her neck, when seen later, stated that
JEnes shot her, but did not intend do
ing so. She stated that she and
Jones We're walking along ] street,
when the negro, jckingly, said he was
going to shoot her, pulling a revolver
from his pocket In a second she felt
bullet piercing her neck She thinks
the negro accidentally shot the pistol
as they had not engaged in a quarrel
or there was no unpleasantness among
them.
Jones, however, claims that he did
not do the shooting at all He says
he was walking along with the woman
and that some one slipped up behind
him and shot her He is being held in
the county jail to await further de-
yelopments.
