Resolutions of Respect and Coincidence.

At a call meeting of the Bishop
Lyman Chapter of the Daughters
of the King, held June 2Sth, 1909,
the following resolutions wore
adopted:
Whereas, the hand of Divine
Providence has removed our be-
loved Rector from the scene of
his temporal labor and the cor
gregatlon who sat under his min
istry and profted by his example,
are desirious of testifying their Re
spec5 for his memory and express
ing their earnest and affectionate
sympathy with the household de-
prived by this dispensation of it's
earthly head, and whereas, it is
but just that a fitting recognition
Of his many virtues should he
had; therefore be it.
Resolved by the Bishop Lyman
Chapter of the Daughters of the
King that while we mourn the
loss Of our Rector whose tender
words of recognition and appre.

whose presence was always an in

They Lost Their Case.

Washington, June 29.-Five
African Methodist Episcopal
Church bishops who complained to
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission that they were discrimi-
mated againt by Southern railroads
and by the Pullman Comyany in
transportation, dining car and
sleeping car facilities have beel,
informed by the commission that
their complaint was hot warran-
ted.
The bishops we're Wesley J.
Faines, NJ. H. Turner, Evans Tyre,
G. S. Smith and e B. Hamptot
Their complaint was against the
Seaboard Air Line, the Richmond
Fredericksburg & Potomac, the
southern Railway, the Contra!
of Gorgia and the Pullman Com,
pany. 1t was alleged that the
day coaches furnished for negro
passengers in the Southeastern
States were not equal to those
provided for white people; that
negroes were denied sleeping Car
accomm odation; and they were
refused food in the dining cars
solely on account Of their color.
At tn hearing of the case tie
complaint "a to the day coaches
was abandoned in view of the
weight of testimony to the Coli
trary; and with respect to the
dining car facilities the al!egatin,s
We're modified by concessi ~.
Most Of tho complainants ard
their Witnesses testified that thew
actually did ride on the sleADinc
cars.
1t rs held by the commission
that undue discrimination or pre-
Jndlce was not shown and the
complainttherefore was dismissed.

KILLING AT SPENCER.
Special Officer has Trouble with Negro
and the Later is Dead.

About 4 o'clock Sunday after.
noon Jim Miller, a negro from
Asheville, was shot and killed
neal the Spencer depot, ly Special
officer r. G.. Fitzgerld. The negro
was taken to the ssnltorium as
soon as possible, where he died
during the night. Fitzgerald was
arrested and placed in Jail in Sal
isbury and it is expected that he
will have a preliminary hearing
to-day, when application will
probably be made for bond.
AS usual in cases of this kind
th9re are several versions of the
shooting. The stories told differ
considerably in detail. Mr. Fitz-
gerald's friends claim that in the
line of his duty he addressed Mil
Ter and told him to consider him.
self under arrest for beating a ride
on a train. The negro said hehad
done nothing wrong and resisted
arrest. A fight followed in which
the officer was considerably beaten
He managed to suhdue the negro
and got him to the depot. Miller
again resisted and tried to beat
Fitzgerald with a piece of coal,
when the latter pulled his pistol
and shot.
Another story is to this effect,
Miller suspected the negro of 'e-
ing a hobo and got into conbusta-
ton with him. He drawn him
out, represented that he, the Of
ficer, was also on the beat and was
trying to make his way to Green's
boro. The two had made it up
to beat a train to Greensboro to-
gether, when the officer revealed
his identity and told the negro he
was under arrest. Some words fol-
lowed, which resulted in a fight,
in which the officer was worste3.
The negro started away, with the
officer following. Miller told him
he was going to leave town and
wanted no more trouble, asking
the officer to desist from following
him. Fitzgerald, however, con-
tsnued after the man, when the
later threw a couple of rocks at
him. Then Fitzgerald advanced
until within a few feet of the de-
ceased, drew his pistol and killed
him.
Fitzgerald is a special officer for
the Southern Railway Company,
and is said by those who know
him, to be about 20 yeas old
