ONE DEAD, ANOTHER DYING.
Negroes and Officers Exchange Shots
at Nichols.

Mullins, July 25.-One negro, Jake
Davis, is dead, and another, name
unknown at this time, is fatally
wounded, as the result of trouble be-
tween about thirty negroes and sew
eral officers at Nichols, this county.
about eight miles from here, last
night.
1t seems that the negroes were at a
church and dissension arose among
them, and that the mayor, magistrate
and policemen went to the church to
stop the quarrel, when the negroes
opened fire on the officers, who re-
tusned the fire. Policemen Walter
Powell was shot through the arm,
but the mayor and magistrate were
unharmed.
The coroner arrived on the scene
about o'clock this morning, but de-
cided to postpone the inquest until
after daylight.
One arrest has been made and
others are expected shortly.

Strengthened up and made motions OF
aiming and firing. The judge, jury

PROTECTED BY UNCLE SAM.
So.calIed German Traitors Needn't
Fear Extraditiou.

Washington, July 23.-State de-
partment officials said today that
Germans in the United States, who
might be prosecuted, as was announc-
ed from Berlin las night, for work
ing in ammunition factories in lands
supplying war materials to Germany's
enemies, were in no danger OF ex-
tradition, and would not come under
the effects of the German law while
they remain in the United States.
Should such Germans become nat
uralized Americans in the meantime
and return to Germany at the close
of the war, they are protected by
the naturalization treaty under which
the United States could intervene in
their behalf.

WHY HE SLASHED FRANK.
Green Feared Attack of Mob in At
tempting to Lynch Frank.

Milledgeville, Ga, July 24.-Wll-
liam Green stabbed Leo NJ. Frank in
the prison here last Saturday night
because he feared the prison would
be attacked by NAB bent on lynch
ing Frank, he told Governor Harris
today. The governor came here with
a committee of the legislature to in
vestigate prison conditions and to get
Green's statement, as Franks assail-
ant had said he would tell his story
only to the governor and B. H. Hara-
day, of Macon. Haraday has not
been in Georgia since the attack.
Planned for Several Days.
Green said that he planned the at
tack several days before it took place,
but said nothing to any one about it.
When asked if he had outside in
structions he fell on his knees and
swore that he had not.
He said that the knife he used was
not the one he used when killing
hogs that Saturday as reported, but
that he had stolen the weapon from
the kitchen Friday before the attack
He hid it in his bunk, he told the
governor. After his statement was
taken he barred his back to disprove
reports that he had been f1ogged
since the attack.
To Protect Others.
81 felt that as long as he Crank
was here there was danger Of the
prison being attacked" Green said
81 was afraid the guards and the peo'
pie making the attack would shoot al
each other and people be killed, 80
came to the conclusion that 1t was
my duty to save the people from dan
ger to which Franks presence expos
ed them. So I decided to kill him
Franks condition is much improv'
ed today.
The investigation by the governor
and the State prison commission was
completed today.

HELP COTTON SHIPPERS.
Big American Pool to Distribute EX
ports to Neutral Countries.

Washington, July 22.-Formatlon
of a great American. cotton pool, tc
handle exports to Europe under an
agreement with the British govern
ment, has been proposed informally
to the State department as a means
of equitably distributing among pro-
ducers such cotton trade as Great
Britain and her allies permit Ameri-
cans to carry on with neutral coun-
tries without interference on the
high seas.
Any arrangement of this kind
would have to be made directly be-
tween the British government and
the cotton interests without partici-
patton or approval by the State de-
partment. Officials point out that to
accede to any restrictions on trade
between neutral countries in non
contraband would mean abandon
ment Of the principle Of freedom OF
the seas laid down in various notes to
Great Britain and to be stated with
greater insistence in another COM
munication now in preparation.
Gfeat Britain's Position.
1t has been suggested that pend
ing differences between the two coun-
tries American officials might aid the
cotton shippers and exporters infor-
mally in any effort they might make
to facilitate their trade. 1t was an
nounced recently that Great Britain
would be willing to enter into an
agreement not to interfere with cot
ton cargoes for neutral countries
provided no more were shipped to
each country than the normal
amount consumed there.
The British embassy has been &C
tive in negotiating for an arrange
ment to relieve the cotton trade and
embassy officials express confidence
that some practical scheme will be
worked out.

steamer. Wharfmen and picnickers
soon lined the edge of the embank-
ment, reaching out helplessly towards
the wavering steamer.
For nearly five minutes the ship
turned before it finally dived[under
the swift current of the river. Dur
ing the listing of the vessel life boats,
chairs and other loose appurtenances
on the decks slipped down the slop-
ing floors, crushing the passengers
toward the rising waters.
Then there was a plunge, with
sigh of air escaping from the hold,
mingled with crying of children and
shrfeks of women, and the ship was
on the bottom of the river, casting
hundreds of living creatures to the
water.
Grab Anything in Reach.
Many sank entangled with cloth
ing and bundles, and did not rise. but
hundreds came to the surface, seized
floating chairs and other objects. Per-
sons on shore threw out ropes and
dragged in those who could hold
these life lines. Employees Of COM
mission firms along the river threw
crates. chicken coops and other float
abl objects into the water, but most
of these were swept away by the cur
rent.
Boats put out, tugs rushed to the
scene with shrieking whistles and
many men jumped into the river to
aid the drowning. With thousands
OF spectators ready to aid and the
wharf within grasp. hundreds went
to death despite every effort at res
cue.
One mother erasped her two chill
dren in her arms as she slipped down
the steamer into the water. One
child was torn from her, but she and
the other were saved. Fathers were
drowned after aiding their wives and
children to safety.
One man was seen to cling to
spike in the side of the wharf, while
two women and three children STEP
ped upon his body to safety. He fell
exhausted into the river as the last
one of the five reached the pier.
Instances of heroism were almost
as numerous as the number OF per-
sons on the scene. Boats as soon as
full took rescued passengers to the
wharf or to the steamer Theodore
Roosevelt, which was tied up oppo-
site the Eastland.
Bodies Floating Down River.
In an hour the water was cleared
of eXcursionists. Those who had not
been taken to land had sunk or were
swirling down the river towards the

Through a force of habit, or
worse still. through a spirit of
downright meanness. some peo-
pie allow the habit of destroying
public property to grow on them
until it becomes disgusting in the
extreme. The lack of regard for
the beautiful and a wanton habit
of defacing and obliterating the
beauty Of public property, has
become so common that one can
hardly look upon a piece of this
kind Of property but what they
will find where the hand of some
vandal has put in his work. The
walls Of public buildings have
the lames or initials of some per-
son written on them or they are
cut and defaced by some one
who had no regard for the beau
ty of the property.
In this connection we want to
say that the town authorities
should arrest and punish any and
every one who, in any way, de-
faces the walls of the new school
building. - Waynesboro News
