The second act of violence at the
Atlantic Coast Line's Emerson shops
since the strike of shop workers went
into effect occurred last night about
11 o'clock when John Joyner, a ne
gro laborer at the shops, claims to
have been blackjacked by two un
known parties as he crossed the yards
at the shops. Whether or not a black
jack was used upon the negro4'"htS
bears an ugly cut on his forehead.
According to the story told by the
negro to Mayor C. L. Gay, who arriv
ed on the scene shortly after the. al
leged attack, the colored laborer was
crossing the tracks over into the shop
yards when two unknown men halted
him and asked if he worked at the
shops. When he replied in the affirm
ative, they inquired what he did. The
negro says he told them he was en
gaged in putting oil and grease in
cups and that before he got this an
swer out of his mouth one of the men
hit him across the head with a black
jack. He didn't tarry long enough to
receive any more licks.
Mayor Gay questioned the negro
closely and sent two officers to the
scene of the alleged attack. The ne

"3. Eliminated country damage.
Usually after the cotton was baled
the farmer took it home and stored
it in the yard, so that it was hit by
rain, snow and sun. Now it is stored
in warehouses until sold.
"6. Eliminated inefficiency and
speculation in country buying by do

many hands through which , cotton
must pass before reaching its desti
nation. "7. Our association sells collective

grows the best is paid a premium.
Heretofore a farmer had no incent
