SOUTHERN STATES AROUSED OVER
 COTTON KILLING

Atlanta, Ga, Oct 12.-The shoot ing to death yesterday of a negro guard at d cotton gin in Arkansas, numerous fires of undetermined or isin in which cotton has been de- st1'oyed, and widespread threats of niSh riders to burn gins whose own CTS ignore warning to discontinue op- era tiOnS until cotton reaches price of 40 cents a pound, have resulted in the issuance of proclamations by Gov ernorS BroHgh of Arkansas, and Kilby of Alabama and statements of their positionSs by Governors Dorsey of Georgia and Cooper of South Carolina.
 Governor Brough upon being ad- vised last night of, the shooting of Nora Canada, in Lonoke county. is- sued a proclamation citing the kill ing and "lawlessness in some of our counties growing out of the prevail ing low price of cotton" The gov ernor called upon the state adjutant general and sheriffs of counties where there are likely to be disturb ances" to use ali power at their command to suppress these night riding outrages." Posts of the Amer ican Legion also were urged to CO., operate with the authorities.
 The killing of Canada until late last night had been regarded by the authorities as a possible outgrowth of night riding activities as the owner of the gin a which the negro was killed is said to have received a warning to close it. Two negroes have been arrested and charged with the killing, however, and one of them is said to have confessed that the motive was robbery
 In a proclamation citing the burn bama, Governor Kilby has offered a reward of S250 for the arrest and conviction of any person guilty of the destruction of property.
