 Mitchell came to the cabin of Iohn Broadnax. a negro. early today and soon. after Broadnax stepped away and came to Lithonia and reported the discovery posse was formed quickly and went to the cabin. At the door, Mitchell appeared with a pistol and began firing J. D. Argo, 55 years of age, and father of one of the victims of the negro. barely escaped death from one of the bullets.
 Rogers. a stone cutter, was standing near and fired. The negro was killed. The kill ing of the negro came as the result of the cooperation of the negroes of the district. who depIored the tragedy. The nerKoes have been on the look out for Mitchell since the day of the killing. Broadnax stepped out of a rear door and went inns- diately to the officers and told them the negro could be captured if a posse went immediately to his cabin.
 The negro Mitchell was charged with attempt to kill George ". Brooke, with whom he had trouble on Saturday. While attempting to arrest the negro. Bailiff T. L. Peek and Deputy C. r. Argo were killed and Deputy C. S. Elliott was wounded.

Is not the slightest ground :or such an opinion
 The members of the Farmers Union as have satd. control in he neigh borhood of 50 per cent of the South s staple crop.
 With the cooperation of the busi- ness interests, large and small, of ev- cry Southern State. they will under. take to secure for inis crop its in- trinsic value In the markets cf the world.
 We are determined to win this fight. regardless of the temporary sac- rifce 1t may entail upon us. I serve this notice freely and frankly upon every business man of the South.
 They can aid us materially, and they can shorten the time of waiting by active cooperation in .his effort.
 We are battling not alone for our- selves but for the prosperity and the Freedom from debt of every man, wo- man and child In the Southern States. We have a right to expect their as- sistance under these conditions We have a right to expect their as- sistance under these conditions.
 ITO the end of arriving at definite plans, I have summoned delegates from every Southern State to meet in New Orleans on November II. I wtu answer for a large attendance of these men, eaCn InOTOuBnly Ianat1aT with the cotton and the financial situation In his community.
 'T invite the cooperation of business man. manufacturer. professional man. banker and wage-earner in the South. I urge them to be present. personally, I urge on commercial bodies. cham bers of commerce. boards of trade and la bor organizations to send representa- tives to this convention.
 We are going to adopt cAtraorii- nary measures to meet extraordinary conditions. That fact is settled. With the active help and counsel of the bus mess men of the South. the success of our plans and the prosperity of the entire section is assured beyond rer- adventure.
 'I will be glad to receive notice from parties intending to be present. as well as suggestions for promoting this uni Wersal movement. unprecedented in scope and vital importance in the hls- tory of the South.
 Bear in mind that the moment the South makes 1t evident at New Or jeans that 1t intends to work in con cert for just price for cotton. the price for that staple will begin to mount and that it will not stop short of an equitable level corresponding to the laws of supply and demand.
 Are the business interests of the South ready to join hands with the producers of the South Tn promoting this end?

To Formuiate Campaign for
 AdDancing Price Of Cotton

Union City. Ga. Oct. 23.--(Special.) Charles S. Barrett National Presi- dent of the Farmers Union, has issued the following statement regarding the industrial congress he has called to meet at New Orleans, November II. for the purpose of formulating a campaign for advancing the price of cotton in the South:
 "As the executive head of an or- ganization of more than 2.0a0. 900 farm CTS in the Southern States. controlling approximately SO per cent. of the cot ton grown in the United States. feel that 1t is incumbent upon me to take the initiative in practical steps look ing to stopping the downward trend of the price for this staple, and restor- ing it to . figure warranted by the cost of its production and its value to civilization.
 the prosperity of every business inter- est between Mason and Dixon's line and the Rio Grande River Is largely dependent upon the return the cotton crop is bringing to this section. ..
 "A proper return for cotton means prosperity to the farmer. the country and town merchant, the city buriDess man, the manufacturer. the wage-work- CT. the salary earner, every railroad and corporation in the Southern States.
 Today spot cotton is selling in the neighborhood of 2 1-2 cents per pound less than one year ago. In many in- stances this means that the producer is called upon to dispose of hls out put below cost.
 "If this price level prevails through out the selling season of 190S-0s. the South will sustain loss approaching $15O. 000. 900.
 ''The significance of such develop ment would be sluggishness in every Southern commercial circle, constric- tion of money in every nusiness, stoppage of obstruction and develop ment in each direction. and failure to recuperate from the panic of last fall as rapidly as we have a right to expect.
 There is no logical or necessary reason for this slump in the price Of cotton. The output of the south VIII he infinitely smaller than last year, when prices ranged to a higher level. American and European sptnners ad- init that they expect to book the usual volume of advance orders at the prices obtaining in 1907. 't
 '"rhe sole excuse now standing be- tween fair prices and the South's cot ion. is the belief of spinners that they will he able to obtain the staple at their own figure. Tn this heiief they have been aided by exchange manlpu- Iators whose efforts have been 10 sbow that the cotton belt would rake . record breaking yield As matter of fact we who are in most l4ltln "a te touch with the situation Kno" 'here

MIR. GUNNELS BACK
TALKS OF LONG SWING THROUGH
 EAST.
Was Impressed With Educational
 Methods and Swnpped Ideas to Mutual Advantage-At His office.

On hls return from the East and New England. Hon. Harry c. Gunnels. State Superintendent of Education. in excellent good humor. talked interest ingly of his several days tour of dis tant colleges and public schools. He was at his office Friday for the first time in nearly three weeks.
 During thfs journey which MT. Gun nels made as the guest of the South ern Education Board he was called. upon to address various gath erings of stu dents and educators and from the newspaper accounts of the trip in which the Southern educators generally took part, Mir. Gunnels made a happy i'm presston on his audiences.
 The swing which the Southern super intendents made was in fact the regu- lar semI-annual meeting of the Asso- citation of Southern Superintendents of Education. Instead of having a for mai gathering at some Southern point, as Is the usual custom, they decided to accept the invitation of the Southern Education Board to visit and inspect the Eastern schools and colleges, an invitation extended last spring at the last conference for education in the South.
 In the course of his interview, Su- perintendent Gunnels spoke as fol- lows:
 "The meeting in New York was one of the regular semi-annual meetings of the Association, of Southern State Superintendents They usually meet in some Southern city. but at this time on the invitation of and through the courtesy of the Southern Education Board, they held the meeting in New York City. and then made a tour of about two weeks through the New England States, visiting and inspect ing every class of schools Every Southern State Superintendent was in the party and I am sure that from the trip great benefit will be derived from the schools of the South. The SuperIntendents spent two or three days inspecting the schools in New York, principally the famous teache CTS college of Columbia university. and the East Side public schools. In Bos- ton a day was spent at Harvard and a day visiting the public schools of Bos- | ton.
 The Southern Education Board has | for a number of years been bringing Northern Educators through the South to inspect Southern schools and South 1 ern conditions. This year the Board kindly invited the Southern superln- tendents to visit Eastern schools.
 The entire trip was enjoyable and profitable Our Southern superintend. ents. I am sure. obtained ideas which will not only be of benefit to them. selves, but which can be worked out
