DRIVEN FROM TOWN
Because They Tired to Force Social
Recognition.

At Greenville, Miss, efforts of a
negro girl to force white women to
address her as Miss" resulted
Wednesday night in the hasty depar-
ture of the family Of E. w. hampton,
bishop Of the American Methodist
Episcopal church. The girl is Bish-
op Lampton's daughter. She has
vainly insisted that the title be used
by saleswomcn in stores and by tel
ephone operators.
On Saturday, after some sharp
words addressed to one of the tele-
phone operators, she said that her
father would see that she was spoken
to in respectful manner.
Bishop hampton called on the tele-
phone manager and demanded that
all the young women at the exchange
be ordered to address his daughter
as Miss hampton. The manager de-
clined and made the interview
known. An indignation meeting was
held by citizens and Bishop hampton
was given five hours to take his
family from the city.

BUYS ANOT HER ROAD
GEORGIA CENTRAL IS TRANS
FERRED TO HARTMAN.
He Pays Three Millions for Stock Of
the Par Value of Five Millions,
ut 500 Per Share.

The sale Of the Central of Geor-
gia Railway to the Illinois Central
Railway, carrying out plans fore
casted more than a year ago, was
announced Wednesday. The trans
action originated in negotiations cul-
minating in Novem ber, 1907, when
the entire capital stock of the Cen
tral of Georgia passed into the hands
of VIM. Nelson Cromwell and John
w. Castles. The purchase, it was
announced a few months later, was
for E. H. Hartman, whose intention,
it was then stated, was to transfer
it to the Illinois Central. The price
paid by the Illinois Central was not
given out.
Announcement of the transfer was
made in New York by John F. Han
son, of Atlanta, president of the
Central OF Georgia. The price paid
by Mr.. Hartman for the stock. to
the par value of s5,OOO,O00, it was
stated, was s3,OOO,0OO. or at the rate
of $50 per share.
The entire capital stock of the
Central of Georgia was originally
held by the reorganization commit
tee of the Richmond and West Point
Terminal Railroad and Ware House
Company. In June, 1907, the stock
was sold to Oakleigh Thorne, Of
New York, and Marsden J. Perry, of
Providence. R. l., who agreed to
retain voting control for at least
two years. 1t was from these gentle
men that Messrs. Cromwell and Cas-
ties secured the stock, and they sold
it to Mr.. Hartman.
The transfer of the Central of
Georgia carries with it the control
of two steamship lines, one from Sa-
vannah to New York, and the other
from Savannah to Boston, operated
by the Ocean Steamship Company.
The Central Of Georgia operates a
little over 1900 miles Of road. It's
system touched that Of the Illinois
Central at Birmingham, Ala.

CONVICTED OF ARSON.
Negro Found Guilty at Aiken of Set
ting Fire to O Barn.

tIAS PhC " u O<sA o'
A dispatch from Aiken says
Wednesday night the jury in the case
of the State against Moses Stevens,
charged with arson, returned a YER
dict of guilty, which carries with 1t
a sentence of death This case has
created a great deal of interest, AS
this is the second conviction for the
burning of the barn Of Mrs. M. c..
Moseley. About three years ago her
barn was burned under suspicious
circumstances, and negro was tried
and convicted of the crime of burn
ing the building. He is now serving
sentence of twenty years in the
State Penitentiary.
Last summer the barn on Mrs.
Moseleys place was again razed to
the ground by fire, in the early part
of the night. The burning was
again under suspicious Circumstance
es, and detectives were put on the
case. Stevens was arrested, as was
also Henry Clark, another negro.
They were held for several weeks,
and then released for want of suf-
fcient evidence to convict. The case
was given up for the time being,
but later-this spring-evidence
cropped out against Stevens, and de-
tectives were again employed, with
the result that Moses Stevens was
again arrested.
The trial consumed all Tuesday.
The main witnesses were the wife
and mother-in-law Of the defendant,
both of whom testified that Moses
told them he committed the crime,
and that he attempted to commit
suicide at the time, by attempting
TO shoot himself, and then tried
to cut his throat, the knife being
taken away from him, and then he
threw himself against wall several
times. They said he told them he
had poured oil on the pea heap in
the loft of the barn and set hre
to it. because he had gone to Mrs.
Moseley to borrow some money, and
she refused him, and he did it for
revenge. The defence, conducted BY
w. M. Smoak, ESQ.,, attempted to
show that these witnesses, as was
also George Washington. father-in-
law of the defendant, were preJudic-
ed because they had fallen out with
him, and were attempting to get
him out Of the way.
Stevens has not yet been sentenc-
ed and it is probable that the case
will be appealed. The crime carries
the death sentence because OF the
close proximity of the barn to the
residence of Mrs. Moseley.
