Court Deputy David Yancey is
dead. He met a horrible fate. He
was stabbed and hacked to death
while endeavoring to serve his en-
ployer, the public of Atlanta and Full
ton County. He died with his boots
on"
The whole city and the entire
county will applaud this brave mans
deed and mourn his death. Then they
will turn again to their own homes
and happy families and the humdrum
of business. Court Deputy David
Yancey will pass from their minds
1t remains for the dead mans un-
happy family to bear the real bur
dens of consequences which it's head
met in serving the public There is
the widow, who idolized her big
strong husband. There are also eigh,
children, bright-eyed boys and girls
not one OF them over 16 years of age
who will romp no more about their
fathers knee.

circumstances at the time of his
death. Sickness had invaded the
house and two of the children are
now in a hospital.
Already friends of the dead man
are thinking of this. The Georgian
also has thought Of this.
The Georgian has started a fund to
care for the family whose head was
cut off while serving the people of
Atlanta and Fulton County.
This newspaper has headed the list
with S25. The amount is small-not
commensurate in any manner with
the price paid by Yancey. But its
smallness invites contributions from
other sources-from the public whom
Yancey served. The Georgian will
gladly receive these contributions and
see that they are put in the hands of
the bereaved family as a poor sub
stitute for what it has lost.
High praise was given the deputy
by Sheriff Mangum, his superior Of
hceT.

riot call.
The negro surrendered only
after he had been badly wounded
and saw that he could not hold
out longer against the posse Of
bluecoats who had surrounded
him in his stronghold.
A lynching was averted only by
the large force of officers who rush
ed TO the house and hurried the un-
conscious negro to the police station
In an automobile.
Cries of Lynch him. were heard
on every hand. The crowd was Wild
Iy excited and thronged about the ne
gro as he was being taken from the
basement. The policemen quickly
formed a circle about Watson and
pushed the angry men away.
Until he was hurried into the au-
tomoblle, the danger Of violence was
not passed, the crowd at one time
threatening to take him from the Of
ficers.
Yancey's body was terribly mutt
lated by the frenzied negro. Rather
than be taken, Watson rushed like a
wild beast toward Yancey, stabbed
him repeatedly in the breast and back
ana sIashed one of his arms almost to
ribbons. Yancey probably was dead
long before Watson had completed
his f1endish attack.
The trouble which resulted in the
tragedy started when Watson
snatched "a from Jesse VIM,
an aged negro, on Whitehall
Street. Watson ran after getting the
money and threatened with a drawn
knife everyone who stood in his path.
Deputy Gives Chase.
AS he was running UP Rawson
Street, Deputy Yancey, who happen
ed to be in that vicinity to serve some
papers, took up the chase. Watson
ran into the yard at the rear Of 900
Rawson Street, the home of Mrs. J.
w. Wilson, with Yancey ir close pur-
suit
Robert Starnes, aged 16, Of II Fitz-
gerald Street, Joined in the chase,
along with a score Of other persons.
Yancey fired upon the negro as he
cornered him in the yard.
Damn you, you've got to kill me
before you can take me-" Watson
shouted as he rushed upon the deputy
and snatched the still smoking re-
volver out of his hand
With this he drew the knife and
plunged it time and again into the
body of Yancey. The deputy sank to
the ground MORALLY wounded, but the
blood maddened negro kept hacking
and stabbing the limp body
Boy Rushes to Aid.
Young Starnes, who had FASTENED
to the officers assistance, picked up
one brick after another and hurled
them at the negro, but the latter paid
no attention to the blows.
When Watson had stated his
bloody passion, he leaped from the
PROSTATE body of Yancey and ran up
the street, taking refuge, when hot
ly pressed. in the cellar Of the vacant
house at SO Windsor Street.
He was quickly surrounded by the
posse of officers. Thrusting their
weapons in under the house they
commenced a fusillade upon the ne
gro which failed to subdue him until
ne was almost riddeld with bullets
Several bullets took effect in his
left leg and shattered the bones both
above and below the knee. Another
bullet found lodsment IN his RICH.

Chicago. March 19.-Wheat: The
market opened steady to a shade firm
er and ruled generally higher through.
out the session with the trade largely
local. Some of early buying came
from report of dust storms in Kan
sas. but our advices indicate that the
ground is full of moisture which
Woul render the former conditions
most improbable. Late wheat prices
were helped by the f1rmness in corr
and the market was largely a local az.
fair. all day. with some scattered COW
ering. While selling pressure is not
heavy at the moment. at the same
time the market has only rallied about
l cent per bushel from the extreme
low point Of the crop, and new outside
interest is still lacking.
Corn: Further covering by shorts
and some new buying by commission
houses was based. chiefly on talk of
the smaller movement from the coun-
try. Where spring work is imminent.
this will probably prove the case
The effect Of smaller receipts this year
should prove less of a strengthening
factor than usual, owing to ample
supplies now in the hands of eastern
buyers, at least, and we think that
this condition applies to many sections
besides the east. Speculative senti-
ment. however, may be strong enough
temporarily, to cause a little further
upturn, but We certainly do not feel
like following the advance.
Oats: The market was higher with
other grains and on light offerings, the
May delivery showing the greatest
strength. The improvement in prices
should bring out freer offerings from
the country.

Speculative 0ossin.

Chicago, March 19.-Gossip of the
wheat trade last night was that the
seaboard exporters had put one over
on the spectators by reporting the
large export business when the crowd
were all short. 1t was said that all
grains had been oversold and the raj
ly was only natural after the three
days break. Local exporters are all
talking bearish, with possibly II ex-
ception. The point is made that Ar
gentine May wheat is 6 cents under
Chicago. which should make our wheat
more desirable to foreigners. The local
short interest was materially cut down
yesterday and bear leaders are looking
for a bulge to put out their lines again.
Corn spectators who are bullish are
looking for light receipts to offset the
effect of the small cash trade. Local
shorts have reduced their commit
ments and some of the close students
of the pit conditions thought that the
long interest among the local profess
SIGNALS was slightly larger than for
some Jays past. The latter condition
also applied to oats. Inter- Ocean.

and build a road of about fifty miles
to show other parts of the state.
Education Will Win,

1.-THE education of the farmers as to
good roads will bring about the best
of results said the governor. with
one good road in his neighborhood he
will not be slow to endeavor to get 9TH
ers." He then told Of having been
in oregon and Colorado n of seeing
the manner in which the prisoners
were worked on the roads there, how
some Of them were sent zoo miles
away from the prison with no guard
oVer them other than a convict, but
that there was a kind of an honor
system observed, by which if one pris-
oner in the gang escaped 1t would at
feet the others as to merits marks
and that the plan worked well. He
then described some of the roads that
had been built by them and said they
were well nigh perfect. He aid 1t was
his hope that before the next legisla-
ture assembled it would be possible
to have a mile or two of perfect road
built by the convicts. of the state near
Bismarck so the members could see
what might be done. He said that 1t
would be a blessing to the convicts to
get out into the open air and 1t would
also benefit the roads. He said 1t was
sheer nonsense to say that 1t would be
taking the men from Irvine making
and would in the end injure h farm
ers, because this work could be done
in the middle or the summer aIIer the
Irvine season was over.
How to Raise Fund.
He advocated the bonding of the
state in $1,000, 900 and he said that
this sum in a very few years could be
paid by the auto owners and not cost
the farmer a cent unless he owned a
machine. He said that in a few years
there would be 10000 machines in the
state and he would place a license fee
of SIS on each and this would raise a
fund of $1,000 0 The million dollars
| worth OF bonds could be 1oated at 4
per cent just as the school bonds. 1t
would take $4,000 to pay the interest.
leaving a balance of 100000 each year
to pay the principal and in o. few years
the million would be paid. He said
! such,a bill was sent to the legislature.

| that it was a good thing and hoped at
some time to see it pass.
